“We had a wonderful experience with Martha May while she boarded our dog, Loki. From the moment we connected, Martha was caring, kind, and incredibly communicative throughout his stay. She provided regular updates and thoughtful feedback, which gave us peace of mind and helped us better understand Loki's needs for future boarding visits. It was clear that Martha May genuinely cared about Loki's comfort and well-being, and he was well cared for during his time with her. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to share helpful observations made the experience exceptional. I highly recommend Martha May to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter. We would be happy to book with her again in the future!”

“Grisel kept us updated daily with Avery’s status along with pictures and videos. She even reached out when Avery was having anxiety from fireworks noise to find out what we do to help her, and offering some suggestions. Avery really enjoyed playing with Grisel’s dog Palermo. We will definitely use Grisel in the future.”

“I truly enjoyed my experience with Nathaly taking care of Chance while I was on vacation. She is very nice and professional with how she handles her boarding. She frequently sent pictures and messages letting me know how Chance was doing, which was very comforting. I would absolutely recommend her services to everyone! Thank you, Nathaly!!”

“Danielle was a fantastic host. She is a good communicator, very accommodating and overall just a delightful person. Cersei felt 100% comfortable staying with Danielle and had fun playing with her own pups as well.”

“My regular sitter had to back out at the last minute and I was stressing out, but I'm very grateful to Marc and Rachael for accepting my 3 fur kids at the last minute. They sent me updates and pictures everyday, and I could tell that my dogs were very well cared for. Their house was a great environment for my doggies, and they did a great job with dogsitting them for a whole week. Highly recommended!”

“Always available and communicative during the stay. He is consistent with sending photo updates and meeting food/medication needs. His elder pup is super patient and kind as well, and a great example for socializing.”

“Doh was an absolute lifesaver taking care of Dodger last minute. She was very responsive, attentive, and made me feel completely at ease during his stay. This was Dodger’s first time boarding overnight with someone else, and she did an amazing job keeping me updated with pictures and messages letting me know how he was doing. I truly appreciated her communication and care, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“Jared is a blessing! He made himself available for a meet & greet and instantly made us feel comfortable with leaving Zuko there. Jared was always quick to respond and sent daily pictures of our boy. It’s safe to say Zuko absolutely loved his stay! Will definitely be booking with Jared again! ☺️”

“Sade was great, Rickie Boobie is a handful with tons of puppy energy, she connected with him right away, let him get acclimated. Everyday she sent me pictures and text reassuring me he was being a good boy . It was our first time and I am grateful for Sade, her husband and son for making Rickie Boobie welcome and loved. We will be contacting Sade again very soon.”

“Rosalinda was immediately receptive and responsive to my last minute request for dog sitting. I made the request 1hr before I needed to head out of town and she approved it! Relief! I also loved the my dog Tilly was able to play with 3 other dogs while she stayed with Rosalinda. And Rosalinda spent a few minutes with Tilly and I before I left to ensure Tilly and I felt settled in. Thank you, Rosalinda!”

“Thank you so much for such wonderful care for our Miss Appa! It was so nice to relax at our out-of-town event and see the pics/videos of her getting walks and play times. And that was so nice of you to sleep down on the couch with her. She is a lucky dog!”

“I had concerns how my 5 year old rescued German Shepherd would adjust with the extended stay but Reginay handled him very professionally. She shared videos and kept us very informed which helped us extremely so we could enjoy our vacation. We are very glad we found her and know we can take future vacations with our boy being in good hands. Great Job Reginay!!!”

“Needed a last minute sitter for a week while we were away, and couldn’t be happier with Amanda! We have a really anxious dog but he settled in fairly quickly and had a playmate with Amanda’s daughter. In fact when picking Simon up, her daughter was carrying Simon … it was so sweet. Definitely wouldn’t hesitate to go back to Amanda.”

“Becky was so thoughtful and attentive to our pup. Making sure he took medication multiple times per day, sharing updates, and making him feel at home for a weekend boarding. Would be honored to have her watch our boy again!”

“10/10 would recommend. Alexxa was very accommodating and a sweet sitter. I am very weary of this app, but my pup was in excellent hands. Absolutely would hire again.”

“My fur-child did well staying overnight with Lety. It had been about 6 months since he needed boarding again. My sweet boy was taken care with much love and care as always. My mind is always at ease knowing Niko is with Lety.”

“Excellent dog sitter!! Asked more questions and was more intuitive than most sitters. Frenchies have a tendency to not tolerate the heat very well and Hana walked Bleu before it got hot outside, which means 5:30-6am range. So sweet! Plus Bleu loves her!”

“Aaron is the best. This is the first time I left my pup with a sitter and I knew he was in good hands. Aaron kept me updated and sent lots of pictures. I fully trust him with my pup. Highly recommend !!!!”

“Jenna was great with our two cats while we were out of town for the week! She made sure they had wet and dry food, water and clean litter boxes each day. Great communication and sent us pictures each day”


“This is my second time booking with Jazmine and I’m happy to say that everything was just as amazing as the first time. She took great care of my baby and kept me up to date with notes and pictures while I was away. Will happily book again next time I need a pet sitter.”

“Payton was great! Very responsive and took the cutest pics of my cat while I was on vacation to give me peace of mind he was taken care of. Will def be using her again!”

“Katherine was fantastic! She was very easy to communicate and work with, and she set me totally at ease about my cat's wellbeing. She provided lots of good pictures and was attentive to my cat's needs.”


“Outstanding pet sitters! They went above and beyond to care for my cats—ensuring fresh food and water, clean litter, and a clean environment. They gave the beasts plenty of love, attention, and brushing. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets.”

“Scott was very helpful, friendly and was amazing with my two cats! If only I could give 10+ stars! Definitely will be scheduling future appts with him. Thanks again for helping me out!”

About: I have a 9 year old cat of my own, adopted her when she was a kitten! Throughout the years I have also taken care of the family pets (two cats and one dog). I love going for walks and I would often have our family dog tag along. I have experience in given oral medication to cats + following a medication/feeding schedule. I’m currently working full time, Monday-Friday, I’m available to care/walk cats or dogs in the evening during the week or any time during the weekend. I provide a loving environment to any animal I come across. I want them to feel safe and comfortable enough to trust that they know I am a friend!

About: I have immense cat care experience, growing up my family fostered kittens. My whole life I have had a cat, growing up I volunteered at a cat rescue that focused on cats with disabilities as well as ferals. I understand that every cat is different and cats deserve pet sitters too! Please reach out if you have any questions! (picture of my fat and happy cats for peace of mind!)

“Aimee was wonderful! She cared for mine and my husband’s two cats while we were away. One of our cats is known for not being so friendly towards strangers, but she took to Aimee right away, which gave me a lot of reassurance. She provided excellent care for our cats and I hope she is available again next time we need a sitter.”


“As always, Michelle goes above and beyond with our furry friend! Rosha has been having a lot of stress related urinary inflammation and the vet recommended getting her outside on a walk as often as we can to help stimulate her and get her energy out. This has been a big game changer for Rosha and we asked if Michelle could help us out and take her on a walks as well. Michelle was so great, she took her out on walks daily and gave us super detailed updates. I know Rosha loves her and couldn’t ask for a better care taker for my kitty.”

“Bao has taken care of our two cats multiple times now, and she always gives detailed updates and sends great pictures! She makes our travels stress free cause we know our babies are in good hands <3”


“Danielle is always great with our cat Greg! Always brushes his teeth makes sure he’s got lots of food and keeps his litter box clean! She also always stays the full amount of time for his drop ins so you know your pet is getting lots of play and love while she’s there. Thanks Danielle!!”

“Michelle was so so helpful despite me booking a trip and needing Rover care near to last minute. She is really attuned to detail and she went above and beyond with care, leaving my apartment clean and tidy. It’s obvious she’s an animal lover and she was so sweet in sending detailed updates about my cats. My travel plans changed and we had to modify the booking but Michelle was really understanding, professional and accommodating about it. Would book her again or recommend to anyone in a heartbeat. Thank you!!!”


“Natalie is wonderful. My sister and I were worried about leaving our cats since they both have medical needs. Not only was Natalie willing to administer the medicine, but she was also extremely caring. She put our minds at ease! We got detailed updates every visit, and she made sure to give both cats attention, not just the necessities of food and water. Your pets will be in great hands with Natalie!”


“Holly has watched our pets multiple times— she’s always thoughtful and communicative, and we leave town knowing with certainty that our pets are in amazing hands. When Holly sends photos or videos of our cats, they’re always at ease and doing their favorite activities (playing with their toys, making biscuits, and just generally having a great time.) Thank you so much for another great visit, Holly!”


About: ur friendly neighborhood avid animal lover here to help you with your fur babies! as a former animal shelter employee and current animal hospital worker, I’m familiar with all different kinds of dogs and cats of different ages, breeds, demeanors and needs. I’m comfortable with young puppies to seniors, nervous/shy cats, those who need medication and anyone in between ☺️ I’m located right in the heart of the Mission District and work in Noe Vallley, so anywhere in those two areas are easy for me to access. I also have a car and can access further if need be! As someone who has seen plenty of emergency cases in my profession, I’m very specially aware within people’s homes of what may be considered safe or unsafe for your baby. Just let me know if I need to keep an extra eye on a specific room or piece of furniture in your room!

“Liz was great! She sent just the right amount of daily updates and pictures to make me feel comfortable about things back home. If you're a cat parent, I highly recommend reaching out to her.”

“We’ve booked Grisel several times and will continue to rebook! She has gone above and beyond to provide exemplary care for my Otter boy (lending him a doggy sweater when it’s cold outside and successfully flushing his eyes with his eye wash during allergy flare-ups). I can rest easy knowing that he is in her care.”

“Heath Bar didn’t make it easy - he barked the entire time at Danielle’s unless she was there with him, I k ew he had separation anxiety but the only time it presented for the last several years was while he was alone in the car. His being alone in the house was not a problem for him. My take away is to be certain someone will be at home with him for most of the time he will be in someone else’s care. Danielle was very responsive and kept me informed the day Heath was in her care.”

About: I may not have dogs of my own but I sure do love being around them. Before moving I use to volunteer at an animal shelter and I loved it there just to see how dogs were able to have at least a couple of minutes of happiness from pups to seniors. I also foster kitties and have two of my own! I am currently attending nursing school, so can’t fit a full time job into my schedule. This is the best option because it’s something I love and I can still complete my studies! I would first build trust with the animal ensuring they are not frightened by me. Aside from that I love for the owners to tell me more about their pet to allow me to best adjust my skills to accommodate the pet.

“Wunna was amazing! The moment our dog, Shadow, met him, they got along and Shadow trusted him immediately. He was flexible and accommodating of our schedule. He responded to our messages quickly too, which we really appreciated.”

“We needed a dog sitter for just a few hours and used Matt. He was great and his wife. They took care of Ranger at their home. Great communication and flexibility. Highly recommend.”

About: I am returning to Rover after a long hiatus while pursuing my PhD. Before my beloved Stella (black pitty) passed away, we had a wonderful time dog-sitting for clients. After many years of grief and a very, very busy life in my doctoral program, I have another doggy companion, Bruce. We enjoy working from home together and are excited to care for your pets! Training my boxer, Bruce, has been such a rewarding experience, and we hope to have the chance to help others on their journeys to build strong connections between handlers and their beloved companions. Working from home allows me to adapt to different needs and routines to stick as closely as possible with your pets current routine to give them a sense of familiarity. My boxer, Bruce, knows when it is time for his meals, bedtime, or when I need to step out to run errands for the day. I intend to do the same by adapting to your pet's routine so they feel at ease.
“Davis was flexible and allowed us to drop off Beryl earlier. He seems to be enjoying looking after pets. Our initial meet left a positive impression and we’ll definitely book again if we watch another event around Golden 1 stadium.”

“Leo loved his day care experience with Hana! She was so kind and send so many pictures of Leo throughout the day. We will deff be booking with her again. She’s amazing l!!”

“I highly recommend Joel! My old girl was calm and happy after her day stay. Extremely considerate of Lola’s needs. She’s a picky pup and can be stressed by strangers, but not with Joel. Didn’t have to worry about her safety or well-being. A great help and huge relief.”
“Anna was so sweet and my dog Deuce was so comfortable with her. He usually has a mini melt down when I leave him but he was so happy. The coursed dinner we attended ended up taking much longer that I anticipated and Anna was so sweet and understanding when we were later to pick up Deuce than what we had scheduled. Can’t wait to use her again!”

“My dogs came back super happy and tired from Marc’s. I needed someone quick and he was very accommodating. My dogs had fun with Marc and his dog Odin. We will definitely be using him in the future.”

About: Nothing is more important to me than the health and safety of your family. Safety being most important, my next concern is that your dog has a positive and rewarding experience in any environment they find themselves. I train dogs. My walk price reflects that experience and value I add to your dog’s experiential learning. My core philosophy is that all learning be a positive incentive based experience for the dog. Boarding rates do not include dog training. Dogs in my care receive structure throughout their day including structured playtime, walks, training, and enrichment consistent with the needs of the client. Each dog is an individual, and I welcome a discussion to find out how I can best serve your dog’s individual needs! My demonstration dog is a 1.5 y/o Malinois Husky. He is stable with all dog breeds and sizes. I work him as a sport dog but he is built to be a companion dog. Dogs in B&T may be crated or in an exclusion room for compression and decompression when not actively being trained or exercised. They will also receive structured play and walks consistent with their individual goals.
“It’s been 6 months last time my fur-child visited Martha. His reacquaintance with Martha & her family went smoothly! I received a comforting video of him playing with Misty and pictures during his stay. Happy to have found Martha!!”

“I’m so grateful to Achara for taking such good care of my pup! He did so well and had so much fun. Achara completely took my worries away from leaving my dog in a new place and sent me such good pictures! Thank you to Achara!”

“Becky was amazing with our newly adopted fur baby! I had to reach out last minute and she was so willing to help. She took Daisy out for her walks and gave her her medicine and ointments as well as sent me updates throughout their day together ◡̈”

“Tanzina was great with Cooper and kept me updated throughout the day! He has anxiety and she was very understanding of it even as it took time for him to acclimate to her place.”

“Carrie did a wonderful job walking our pup, Jo! Carrie was professional, prompt and kind. Jo came back from her walk happy and tired - she said hello to us and immediately took a nap. Would absolutely recommend Carrie and we’re so happy to have found an awesome dog walker close by!”


About: I've taken care of my dogs, friends' dogs, and house-sat for dog owners. I’m experienced with dogs of all energy levels and temperaments. I currently work Sunday through Wednesday, and I’m fully available Thursday through Saturday. On those days, I can give your pet my full attention and focus on their care, routine, and needs. On Sunday through Wednesday, I am available before 8 am and after 8 pm. I provide dog sitting and dog walking with a strong focus on safety, trust, and maintaining each dog’s normal routine. I am comfortable with small dogs and large dogs who need a lot of exercise.
“Scott was kind to accept a last minute booking. He was prompt and kind! He took our dogs out for a walk around the neighborhood and they loved him! Thank you!”


About: I have loved and cared for dogs for many years, but my real training started with my own dog Haku. He has taught me patience, routine, and how to understand different dog personalities. I am used to daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable. Haku is friendly with children, other dogs, and cats, so I understand the importance of proper introductions and calm environments. Every dog has their own personality, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each one unique. I work from home, so I get to spend most of my day around dogs. I’m available for boarding on weekends and flexible during weekdays. Your pup will have company, regular walks, and a steady routine instead of being left alone all day. Dogs can sense calm energy, and I bring that into my home. I keep things structured but relaxed. I respect each dog’s personality and never force interactions. Haku runs quality control and makes sure every guest feels welcome.
“We are repeat clients. Payton is consistent, professional and responsive. She is punctual and covers good distance when walking my two dogs. They are always tired and satisfied with their walks. She provides good feedback and photos on their report cards. We highly recommend Payton.”


About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. I got my first pet at 11, my lovely dog mocha, and have been taking care of animals ever since. I enjoy observing and playing with almost any animal no matter size or species. I have lots of experience taking care of injured animals as more often than not I took in these types of animals growing up and even now! I have spent countless times bottle feeding baby animals as well as performing other duties a parent animal would do. Currently I am unemployed, just looking for something fun and entertaining to do while I job hunt. I plan to continue after getting a job if things work out. I am free most days of the week, the only uncertain day is Tuesday. I have two animals currently, a leopard gecko and a Bombay cat. As two wildly different animals they both have special needs I attend. My cat, jiji, is disabled and requires me to be a bit more careful than you would need to be with a cat. She has no tail but a big attitude! Beam, gecko, is about 5 years old. I adopted him from a friend who would be unable to care for him. Leopard geckos can reach 15 years old and require quite a bit attention as they are sensitive to most things. Beam is also incredibly sassy, despite only being three inches.

“As first-time Rover users, we chose Alexandra and all we can say is Alexandra is the best! She is extremely prompt & communicative and was eager to help us navigate the app and Rover support when we realized we were being charged holiday fee outside of the holiday period. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she cares for while the owners are away. Thanks Alex!”

“Shang was amazing with my dogs. She was always on time and communicated when she arrived at my house. One of my dogs requires more time to get comfortable with and Shang was very patient with him. She understood their own comfortability levels which allowed them to trust her. I can tell that the dogs are fond of her from the smiles in the photos she sends me! Shang is reliable, caring and I would recommend her to anyone looking for help with the pups!”


About: What sets me apart is my experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I fostered puppies and adult dogs for four years, which gave me hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I also grew up with working dogs, so I am very comfortable handling high-energy breeds and understand the exercise, structure, and attention they require. Whether it's a playful puppy, an active working dog, or a senior pet needing extra patience and care, I adapt to each animal's individual needs. I am confident handling dogs on walks and prioritize safety, consistency, and positive interactions. I am comfortable working with reactive dogs as well :) I am a full time student looking to fill my summer by taking care pets instead of adopting more! I have extremely open availability, whatever your pet needs Ill be there. I wholeheartedly understand the anxiety and stress that can come with leaving your pet in someone else's care, I have those same feelings when it comes to my own pets. Because of that, I will treat your pet as if they were my own, providing them with the same love, attention, and care that I would expect for my animals. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness, along with your peace of mind, are always my top priorities. While I am caring for your pet, I will be readily available by text or phone and happy to provide updates, photos, and videos to help you feel connected and reassured while you're away. 🐾

I have everyday available so your pets will be getting my full attention I will always be willing to feed, clean, play and walk with your pets if they need it. I can stay overnight too as well.
About: I am here because I know how important it is to provide your pets quality care. I want your time away to be as convenient and stress free as possible. I know it can be difficult finding the right care and I am here to ease that worry while reassuring you I have experience and knowledge to provide quality care. I strive to keep your pets routine and make sure they are comfortable and happy. I'm here to communicate with you and commit to you and your pets. I see myself as a form of extended family, as such I genuinely care and provide quality care. I had owners that needed me to care for special needs and request one on one care or special needs can be accommodated sometimes with additional fees but most often with the regular rates. I am able to do introductions with other animals or keep separate depending on pets temperament and owner preferences. I've taken care of pets, including my own since I was a young child. I have cared for all types of pets including cats, dogs (of all sizes) and other animals. I have experience with senior animals and puppies and have pet sat, been a dog owner and fostered. I have experience with multiple breeds and we prefer to make your pet feel at home as much as possible, so you can be at ease while away. I work from home and pets are provided care throughout the day. I know it can be hard to find someone you feel comfortable with taking care of your pet so I am to not only take excellent care of your pet but for you to rest assured your pet is in great hands. I have a fenced yard, as well as a space if you have a pet that needs to be confined or crated. I am happy to discuss needs and try to work out to make your pets stay as pleasant as possible. I ask that you provide all the things your pet is used to including schedule/ routine if you keep one so that their time away is comfortable and seamless.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals at other homes since I was a kid: neighbors, teachers, family friends. I was raised by 2 cats, and my parents always encouraged us to pull our weight and help the community. People are often surprised their pets are so comfortable with me so quickly! I recently was hired to watch an anxious Jack Russel Terrier mix because the first time I met her she didn’t bark, sat in my lap, and wanted to lick me all evening, and I didn’t even have treats in my pocket! I’m navigating life with my first dog, currently learning about my new pupper and scheduling. I’m open to new clients in Greater Sacramento and short visits. I’m working with youth at a site currently. I often make dinner at home, but also like to explore the town or neighborhood I’m staying (let me know if you have a local favorite). A few nights a month I spend at ceramics, rock climbing, hiking and camping, or seeing live music. I find that each pet is completely different. I want to make them as comfortable as pawsible in their space: where do they like to spend their time, favorite toys, treats, activities, parks, and schedules. Tell me about your pets likes and dislikes! I watched 2 dogs, one loved playing fetch, but the other just wanted to hold her own ball and spin when I threw for the other dog. So cute haha!

“Grisel kept us updated daily with Avery’s status along with pictures and videos. She even reached out when Avery was having anxiety from fireworks noise to find out what we do to help her, and offering some suggestions. Avery really enjoyed playing with Grisel’s dog Palermo. We will definitely use Grisel in the future.”

“I truly enjoyed my experience with Nathaly taking care of Chance while I was on vacation. She is very nice and professional with how she handles her boarding. She frequently sent pictures and messages letting me know how Chance was doing, which was very comforting. I would absolutely recommend her services to everyone! Thank you, Nathaly!!”

“My regular sitter had to back out at the last minute and I was stressing out, but I'm very grateful to Marc and Rachael for accepting my 3 fur kids at the last minute. They sent me updates and pictures everyday, and I could tell that my dogs were very well cared for. Their house was a great environment for my doggies, and they did a great job with dogsitting them for a whole week. Highly recommended!”

“Always available and communicative during the stay. He is consistent with sending photo updates and meeting food/medication needs. His elder pup is super patient and kind as well, and a great example for socializing.”

“Doh was an absolute lifesaver taking care of Dodger last minute. She was very responsive, attentive, and made me feel completely at ease during his stay. This was Dodger’s first time boarding overnight with someone else, and she did an amazing job keeping me updated with pictures and messages letting me know how he was doing. I truly appreciated her communication and care, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“Rosalinda was immediately receptive and responsive to my last minute request for dog sitting. I made the request 1hr before I needed to head out of town and she approved it! Relief! I also loved the my dog Tilly was able to play with 3 other dogs while she stayed with Rosalinda. And Rosalinda spent a few minutes with Tilly and I before I left to ensure Tilly and I felt settled in. Thank you, Rosalinda!”

“I had concerns how my 5 year old rescued German Shepherd would adjust with the extended stay but Reginay handled him very professionally. She shared videos and kept us very informed which helped us extremely so we could enjoy our vacation. We are very glad we found her and know we can take future vacations with our boy being in good hands. Great Job Reginay!!!”

“Needed a last minute sitter for a week while we were away, and couldn’t be happier with Amanda! We have a really anxious dog but he settled in fairly quickly and had a playmate with Amanda’s daughter. In fact when picking Simon up, her daughter was carrying Simon … it was so sweet. Definitely wouldn’t hesitate to go back to Amanda.”

“Becky was so thoughtful and attentive to our pup. Making sure he took medication multiple times per day, sharing updates, and making him feel at home for a weekend boarding. Would be honored to have her watch our boy again!”

“10/10 would recommend. Alexxa was very accommodating and a sweet sitter. I am very weary of this app, but my pup was in excellent hands. Absolutely would hire again.”


“Aaron is the best. This is the first time I left my pup with a sitter and I knew he was in good hands. Aaron kept me updated and sent lots of pictures. I fully trust him with my pup. Highly recommend !!!!”

“Chelsi is AWESOME!! She took care of my senior chihuahua overnight and was super accommodating! Great communication about pickup and drop off coordination, and provided excellent directions. She gave Nacho his meds, and I could tell she made him feel right at home. She sent frequent updates and pics. Will definitely rebook with her! 10/10 would recommend.”

“My dog is aging and becoming physically frailer such that I’ve become much more picky about who I leave him with. Cedric is clearly kind and patient, manages his dogs and home in a safe manner, and sent plenty of pictures to put my mind at ease. Will be sending my old man to spend time with him again.”

“Ranger had a phenomenal time staying with Davis and Tina! They provided us with updates and gave us so much peace of mind that our boy was in excellent hands! Ranger had the best time during his visit and I highly recommend Davis and Tina for when you need an excellent pet sitter - they went above and beyond! 🙌🏼”

“Alexandra watched our 9 month old puppy over a long weekend. She was very professional, knowledgeable about dogs, and did a great job taking care of our puppy and providing us pictures/updates about him. Would highly recommend her as a sitter!!”

About: I have experience with many different types of animals. I have cats, dogs, a snake, a lizard, snails, and fish. I also lived on a farm and have experience with farm animals. I am good at training dogs and have experience with animal's medication management. My dog has an anxiety disorder, and one of my cats had an intense medical scare which required medication three times a day. Work to provide the best for all my animals, and I'll work to provide the best for yours as well. I currently work part-time during the days. There is never a time where my house is unsupervised for more than a few hours at a time to go out and eat or run errands. With my dogs, I typically crate them when I leave to prevent them from causing problems like digging in the trash, but that is up to your discretion for your animal. I live in a house in a nice, quiet neighborhood. I have a fenced in yard that my two dogs frequently run around in. I have a small inflatable pool for the animals to play in during the heat. I will take care to attend to each animal's individualized needs, so if your dogs needs to be crated at certain times or has specific triggers please let me know.
“Roxy was great with our girls! Normally Hazel takes a little bit of time to warm up to strangers, and Koda does have a little bit of separation anxiety, but Roxy was able to get them to feel at ease right away!”
