Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!

Loved Jennifer! She was awesome and met me in the park to introduce Cooper to some of the other dogs she was currently watching prior to the stay. She gave regular updates and did a great job with socializing Cooper with other dogs. She is a great photographer and put together an album of the week. Loved her and wouldn’t use any other sitter!

We had a wonderful experience with Haoran and would absolutely give her 5 stars. From the very beginning, she asked thoughtful questions that made us feel confident and at ease leaving our dog in her care. Right after drop-off, she sent us a message with photos to let us know how our dog was settling in, which was incredibly comforting. Throughout the three days, she kept us updated with pictures and messages, and we could clearly see that our dog was getting plenty of playtime, exercise, good food, and enjoying time with the other dog. When we picked her up, our dog was calm, balanced, and happy—which says everything. We would recommend Haoran anytime. She has a beautiful space with plenty of room for dogs to play, and she took excellent care of our dog while keeping us consistently updated, which we truly appreciated.

Andrea was absolutely amazing! She was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure our pup, Scooby, felt comfortable and happy during his stay. We loved receiving the regular updates with pictures and videos, it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. To top it off, she even gifted Scooby the cutest goodie bag when we picked him up! I highly recommend Andrea and will definitely trust her to watch Scooby again in the future.

It was clear from the moment we met you that she was in good hands. We’re so grateful for your kindness and professionalism. Lisbon seemed so happy and well cared for when we picked her up.

About: I love pets, they are the cutest addition to our lives. I have a dog of my own, she is 2 1/2 years old, very playful and friendly. I have had pets since childhood and love taking care of them, we have a house and a fenced yard, hence your pup is safe to play outdoors whenever they want. They are allowed on furniture too. Will love to take care of your precious little baby 😊 I work from home few times a week and my mom stays at home full time, so someone is always there to play with your pups and to take care of them. I have a fenced yard so they are safe when playing outdoors, I can take them on walks weather permitting, if they like to sleep in their crate they can do so too, potty breaks according to their schedule and have fun indoors. Will love to give them a safe place when they’re away from home 🏡

We feel so lucky to have found Katie! She watched Mac for 3 nights and was incredibly flexible and communicative. She was accommodating of our rather last minute request and returned Mac happy and exhausted. Her house is clean and so well-equipped for a big mischievous puppy like Mac. We will absolutely be booking with her again!

About: I have been working with, owning, and training dogs of all shapes and sizes for over 15 years. I’ve trained many dogs over the last 10 years and helped owners overcome a variety of issues they’ve encountered along the journey of ownership. Ever since I was little, I have loved animals, especially dogs! I believe that every dog is an individual, with their own personalities, likes, dislikes, and needs. I understand the importance of caring for each dog differently, and giving them what they need to feel loved. As a trainer, my philosophy is love and positive reinforcement only. I do not believe in dominance, aggression, or negative reinforcement in any way. I will work with your dog, even while sitting or walking, to help them grow and unlearn bad habits and learn new ones! Every dog deserves love and attention no matter what, and your dog will always feel special while in my care. My schedule is currently open, so I’ll be spending 100% of my time with your pups! As of right now, my home is open for boarding to any dog that needs to be cared for overnight or during the day. I am also available to stay at your home and babysit overnight, and am happy to watch more than one dog at a time if necessary. If you have a dog and cat at home that need sitting, that is fine as well. I am okay with having multiple dogs in my home as long as they are well-socialized and can handle being around other dogs. All bookings will be discussed in advance with the owners to determine each individual dog’s needs prior to arrival. Each pups temperament will be assessed and careful attention will be paid to the safety and well-being of every dog that stays in my home. I am open to drop-ins and walks at an owner’s home as my schedule permits, however, I do not currently own a car so the visits would have to be local. As noted in my bio, I have been a dog trainer and owner for over 15 years, and have experience with all types of dog breeds and temperaments. I understand how to communicate and handle dogs with poor temperaments and nasty habits. I do not believe in any type of negative reinforcement (i.e. yelling, hitting, shaming, isolating, dominating, crating as punishment, using choke or shock collars, and scaring a dog in any way to achieve training goals). If your pup is dog-aggressive (meaning he or she cannot be around other dogs at all), please let me know right away so I can make sure not to book any other dogs at the same time. If your dog is a puppy, let me know in advance as well, so I can make sure to book him or her alone or with dogs that are tolerant to puppy-behavior. I just moved into my apartment in Hartford on West Boulevard, which is completely gated with all entrances requiring a specific code to enter the premises. There is a dog-walking area with waste bags and some grass for the dogs to use when going outside. The complex is surrounded by suburban neighborhoods with ample sidewalks and places to take a dog on long walks if necessary. I am new to the area so I’m hoping to eventually find a good location to play fetch with the dogs or allow them to run around off leash. Potty breaks can be taken whenever necessary as the exit to my apartment is right down the hall and out the door. My apartment is a newly renovated, 1-bedroom apartment and is kept extremely clean at all times. I have no problem cleaning up after a dog if he or she makes a mess or has an accident, but please let me know if this will be a problem in advance and we will discuss how to handle it. If the accidents are often, I may request a small fee for regular or repeated cleanups, as they can cost money if real damage is done. Destructive chewers should come with something reliable to chew on and keep them busy. If your dog has separation anxiety, please let me know before booking so I can make the necessary accommodations. If your dog has any specific quirks or habits that are need to know, please be sure to inform me prior to booking so I can take care of your baby’s needs. Please bring anything that your dog would usually need on a daily basis, including toys, leashes, harnesses, waste bags, blankets, treats, and even a bed or crate if necessary. Your dog will be taken care of as if it were my own, I understand that your dog is like your child and is therefore a member of your family. As a dog-mom, I know how scary it can be to leave your baby with a stranger. I promise to make your pup feel at home and welcome at all times, and will do everything I can to make your baby comfortable and feel loved throughout their visit. You will see photos of me and my dog Cloud in my profile who is now 6 but is with his dad in Hamden at this time. I rescued him from Georgia after his pregnant mother was abandoned on the side of the road, and raised him since he was 6 months old.

Left our pup for 6 nights with Dyan. Leaving him was somewhat traumatic for us as we typically travel with him. But Dyan made us very comfortable that our pup was doing great. Nightly photos of our pup and hers showed us that he was just fine. He went on many walks and he got along great with Aiko. Thanks Dyan for taking such great care of our pup .

This was the first time I booked Le'Andra to do daily check-ins on my cat Gabby while I was out of town. She was great! Le'Andra always stayed in communication with me by text. And she did her best to still take care of my cat while also dealing with the storm and very cold temperatures we recently had. Le'Andra is nice and very friendly. I would definitely request her again the next time I need a cat sitter, and would also recommend her to anyone considering booking her on Rover.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 10 years old, and I learned early on that pets are truly part of the family. Growing up, my mom regularly opened our home for dog sitting, and I’ve been helping care for pets alongside her for over five years. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving dogs the attention and companionship they need to feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for like they’re my own pets. Pet care fits well into my routine because I’m open and flexible with making time for the animals I care for. I currently work part time, which gives me availability to schedule walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and quality time with pets throughout the week. I enjoy spending time with animals, so I’m happy to adjust my routine to make sure they feel cared for, comfortable, and not alone while their owners are away. I care for every pet like they’re part of the family because that’s how I’ve always treated my own dogs. My pets are truly my babies, and I love spending time with them, whether that’s playing, relaxing together, or just keeping them company. Now that my dogs are seniors, they enjoy lounging in the sun, relaxing around the house, and spending time with their people and companions. When dogs stay in our home for boarding, we treat them like they’re our own pets. They get lots of attention, love, companionship, walks, and time to relax and feel comfortable. They spend time with our dogs, lounge around together, and are never made to feel alone. We create a calm, loving environment where pets can feel safe and at home — many even sleep on our beds because we want them to feel as comfortable and cared for as possible while their owners are away.

About: Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. I’ve had and cared for animals for most of my life. About ten years ago I fostered for 8 years, I’ve fostered both healthy and sick cats and dogs. During that time, I provided love, comfort, and the special attention each animal needed to thrive. For the last two years, I’ve also been caring for other people’s pets, treating each one as if they were my own. My clients consistently give me great reviews, noting my reliability, compassion, and deep understanding of animal behavior. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and ensuring their safety, happiness, and well-being is something I take great pride in. I have a flexable private practice and love to take walks and cuddle with the animals. Care for pets fit in well. I love traveling to peoples homes mostly in the work I do. I care for pets by following their established routines and providing a safe, calm, and attentive environment. In my home, I make sure pets have a clean, pet-proofed space with plenty of supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, and enrichment. I follow all feeding instructions carefully, administer medication if needed, and ensure pets get appropriate playtime, rest, and affection. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s normal schedule to minimize stress. This includes feeding, walks or litter care, playtime, medication, and companionship. I also keep the home tidy, bring in mail or packages if requested, and provide regular updates with photos so owners feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for. Across all services, I prioritize safety, positive reinforcement, cleanliness, and clear communication with pet owners.

About: Um. Let’s see I have 3 dogs of my own and I know how unsettling it is to trust your babies with strangers who don’t understand them. Like what do you mean you don’t wrestle them down with kisses and tickles. You’re a monster. 🤷🏽‍♂️ I start my day at 4 am so my dogs are up pretty early. I let them out in the yard when I start the car for the gym, when I return we go on our breakfast walk, come home eat and then we go out back before I log in for the day. Most days my guys get 3-4 walks because it helps me with a fitness routine, going outside and clearing my head since I work remote. Our pets have full access to our home; however, during the day the are normally in the office with me because I can open the side door and window. Their crates and beds are also in there so anyone staying with us would most likely be in there; If we’re not outside we’re on the porch, back deck or walking.

Klaudia and her crew welcomed our anxious pup for daycare and he came home happy and actually seems to a bit less reactive to other dogs after a day with Winston and Bruno! Klaudia checked in several times and sent photos, which we loved, showing Loofy getting lost of attention. We're looking forward to doing an overnight in the near future.

About: My fiancé and I are lifelong dog lovers and share our home with Maple, our friendly golden retriever. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day in a calm home environment. I trained Maple myself, and she has earned her Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification. Because of this, I value structure, consistency, and good manners, and our home is best suited for well-trained adult dogs that enjoy a calm household environment. I specialize in caring for social, house-trained dogs in a low-volume setting. Unlike larger boarding environments, I typically only accept one client at a time, allowing dogs to receive individualized attention, regular outdoor breaks, daily walks, and a comfortable place to relax throughout their stay. I have experience with large breeds including golden retrievers and labs, as well as senior dogs that benefit from a quieter and more personalized environment. Cleanliness, safety, and reliability are very important to me, and I strive to make each dog feel comfortable and at home while maintaining structure and routine. Because I work from home during the week, dogs are rarely left alone and are able to follow a calm and consistent daily routine. Dogs receive regular potty breaks, outdoor time, walks, rest throughout the workday, and attentive supervision during their stay. I intentionally keep bookings low-volume so each dog receives individualized care and a quieter environment than a traditional boarding setting. My schedule is best suited for adult dogs that are comfortable settling in a home environment during the day and are accustomed to a consistent routine. Safety, consistency, and a calm environment are very important in our home. Because I only take a limited number of dogs at a time, I’m able to provide attentive supervision and maintain a structured routine throughout each stay. Dogs are always leashed outdoors since our yard is not fenced, and I prioritize slow, thoughtful introductions to help dogs feel comfortable and successful in the home. Maple is friendly and social with visiting dogs and settles quickly after introductions. To ensure a good fit for everyone, I typically accept dogs that are: • house trained • crate trained • friendly with people and other dogs • able to settle calmly indoors • on a consistent feeding schedule Dogs are welcome on furniture, can sleep in my room or in their crate, and are treated like part of the household while maintaining structure and supervision.

About: I have loved dogs and pets for as long as I can remember! Growing up, my home was always filled with multiple dogs, which taught me firsthand how to manage different personalities, energy levels, and care routines. When I left for college, I made the heartbreaking but responsible choice to rehome my dogs with amazing families. I knew that with my intense school schedule, I wouldn’t have the time, energy, or availability they truly deserved. To me, a pet's well-being always comes first. Now that my schedule is open and stable, I am eager to get back to working with animals! I am using this time to gain even more hands-on experience before I am ready to adopt a dog of my own again. By booking with me, your pet will get my full, undivided attention, lots of love, and the highest level of responsible care. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! I recently graduated from college and have a few completely open months this summer before starting my full time career in September! Because of this, my schedule is incredibly open, flexible, and completely open for pet care. My personal daily routine revolves around fitness, going to the gym, and staying as active as possible. I absolutely love going on long, frequent walks, so looping your dog into my daily routine is a perfect match! Whether your dog needs high energy outdoor exercise, frequent potty breaks, or just consistent companionship throughout the day, I have the full time, energy, and capacity to dedicate to them. Your pet will be my top priority all summer long! Your pet will enjoy a safe, secure, and incredibly peaceful stay at my house! We have a completely fenced in yard with absolutely no other resident pets, giving your dog full reign of the space. There are also no neighboring dogs sharing our fence line, making it the perfect, stress free environment for pups who get easily anxious or reactive.I live with my mom and my 15 year old sister, both of whom love animals and will occasionally be around to offer extra head scratches and love. Because it is a calm, predictable household, your pet will get highly focused attention and a structured routine tailored exactly to their needs. When caring for your pet in your home, I treat your property with the utmost respect, care, and consideration. I am exceptionally neat, organized, and mindful of your space. You can travel with total peace of mind knowing that I will not only keep your pets happy and safe, but I will also make sure to leave your home cleaner and better than I found it.

About: If you’re looking for a massive dog lover to look after your fur baby, I’m your person! I have tons of experience with all kinds of breeds from tiny couch potatoes to giant balls of energy. I do everything from quick daily walks, drop ins, or full overnight stays. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and I will always treat your pet like they're my own. I recently finished my BFA and I am currently on the job hunt, so my schedule is super open! I love the outdoors and try to get out as much as I can so for doggos we will be getting lots of exercise, dog sitting and walking is exciting for me because it gives me more reason to get outside! I am a designer so when I am working, generally thats indoors so kittys would get tons of company from me! I wakeup early in the morning so I would be able to do the early morning feedings and walks. I also wind down at night on the earlier side, just reading or watching tv, so your animal would have a peaceful nighttime experience with flexibility for late night walks if it is desired by the dog. Whether I am hosting your pet in my home or visiting yours, my top priority is maintaining a consistent and safe routine that makes them feel secure. I am lucky to live right by multiple local parks and a dog park, so I can easily incorporate social time and outdoor play into our daily schedule, or my friend has a fenced in yard she has approved I would be able to use for playtime if your dog doesn't get along with other dogs. For dogs who love to explore, I’m a big fan of walks especially through the beautiful trails around Savannah. I think it’s the perfect way to get plenty of fresh air and exercise! I know most cats would stay in their own space as they are more of home bodies, but in any space, I will treat your kitty as my own!

How I Care for Pets in Your Home – With Safety, Trust, and Comfort at the Heart of It All When I care for your pets, whether I’m house sitting, walking them, or simply dropping in, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has a unique routine, personality, and needs — and I take the time to learn and follow your instructions closely to ensure they feel secure and loved in your absence. In your home, I maintain a calm, respectful presence, keeping your pet’s environment clean, stress-free, and familiar. I provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), and gentle companionship, always with an eye on their behavior and well-being.

About: I grew up surrounded by animals, and I've always had the responsibility of taking care of them. I've cared for family dogs and I help my daughter with the care of dogs and cats. I like to make dogs feel at home. I don't work, I'm always at home, and if I have to go out I always take the dog with me; it gives me time to take him out to do his business, play with him, and he always feels accompanied. I live in an apartment with a garden where they can relieve themselves and a gated parking area, but I still prefer taking them to the park to walk and play.

I'll take your dog for a short walk around the yard or a long hike up a mountain, whatever your good boy or girl needs. I have been cat sitting for sociable, playful cats and independent, quiet cats. There is nothing more important than your pet's health and happiness I work full time, but I'm available after 3:30 p.m. Monday - Friday and from 7 a.m. - 10 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. I cannot board animals at this time, but I am more than happy to visit your furry friend in your home. I can offer friendly walks or overnight sitting without having to displace your pet from their environment.

Priscilla saved the day accepting my request at very short notice. I had a 12 hour shift to work and no coverage for Louis. Additionally, I realized at the end of that 12 hour shift that I had no coverage for the next two days due (in no small part to a massive house move that had just occurred). Again, Priscilla came to the rescue and helped me for the next two days. She is a great communicator and a clearly dedicated professional.

About: Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. I’ve had and cared for animals for most of my life. About ten years ago I fostered for 8 years, I’ve fostered both healthy and sick cats and dogs. During that time, I provided love, comfort, and the special attention each animal needed to thrive. For the last two years, I’ve also been caring for other people’s pets, treating each one as if they were my own. My clients consistently give me great reviews, noting my reliability, compassion, and deep understanding of animal behavior. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and ensuring their safety, happiness, and well-being is something I take great pride in. I have a flexable private practice and love to take walks and cuddle with the animals. Care for pets fit in well. I love traveling to peoples homes mostly in the work I do. I care for pets by following their established routines and providing a safe, calm, and attentive environment. In my home, I make sure pets have a clean, pet-proofed space with plenty of supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, and enrichment. I follow all feeding instructions carefully, administer medication if needed, and ensure pets get appropriate playtime, rest, and affection. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s normal schedule to minimize stress. This includes feeding, walks or litter care, playtime, medication, and companionship. I also keep the home tidy, bring in mail or packages if requested, and provide regular updates with photos so owners feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for. Across all services, I prioritize safety, positive reinforcement, cleanliness, and clear communication with pet owners.

My pup absolutely loves Enrik! He has done both house sitting and daily dog walking for her and he’s been phenomenal. Always sends a cute pic, and gives our pup so much love.

Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!

Noel and his family were absolutely incredible! With two senior dogs, one of them having recent health challenges, we had a few big asks with medication administration and attentiveness. Noel, his wife, and his son took great care of our pups and updated us thoroughly throughout the weekend to give us peace of mind. We’re so grateful!!

We feel so lucky to have found Katie! She watched Mac for 3 nights and was incredibly flexible and communicative. She was accommodating of our rather last minute request and returned Mac happy and exhausted. Her house is clean and so well-equipped for a big mischievous puppy like Mac. We will absolutely be booking with her again!

About: I have been working with, owning, and training dogs of all shapes and sizes for over 15 years. I’ve trained many dogs over the last 10 years and helped owners overcome a variety of issues they’ve encountered along the journey of ownership. Ever since I was little, I have loved animals, especially dogs! I believe that every dog is an individual, with their own personalities, likes, dislikes, and needs. I understand the importance of caring for each dog differently, and giving them what they need to feel loved. As a trainer, my philosophy is love and positive reinforcement only. I do not believe in dominance, aggression, or negative reinforcement in any way. I will work with your dog, even while sitting or walking, to help them grow and unlearn bad habits and learn new ones! Every dog deserves love and attention no matter what, and your dog will always feel special while in my care. My schedule is currently open, so I’ll be spending 100% of my time with your pups! As of right now, my home is open for boarding to any dog that needs to be cared for overnight or during the day. I am also available to stay at your home and babysit overnight, and am happy to watch more than one dog at a time if necessary. If you have a dog and cat at home that need sitting, that is fine as well. I am okay with having multiple dogs in my home as long as they are well-socialized and can handle being around other dogs. All bookings will be discussed in advance with the owners to determine each individual dog’s needs prior to arrival. Each pups temperament will be assessed and careful attention will be paid to the safety and well-being of every dog that stays in my home. I am open to drop-ins and walks at an owner’s home as my schedule permits, however, I do not currently own a car so the visits would have to be local. As noted in my bio, I have been a dog trainer and owner for over 15 years, and have experience with all types of dog breeds and temperaments. I understand how to communicate and handle dogs with poor temperaments and nasty habits. I do not believe in any type of negative reinforcement (i.e. yelling, hitting, shaming, isolating, dominating, crating as punishment, using choke or shock collars, and scaring a dog in any way to achieve training goals). If your pup is dog-aggressive (meaning he or she cannot be around other dogs at all), please let me know right away so I can make sure not to book any other dogs at the same time. If your dog is a puppy, let me know in advance as well, so I can make sure to book him or her alone or with dogs that are tolerant to puppy-behavior. I just moved into my apartment in Hartford on West Boulevard, which is completely gated with all entrances requiring a specific code to enter the premises. There is a dog-walking area with waste bags and some grass for the dogs to use when going outside. The complex is surrounded by suburban neighborhoods with ample sidewalks and places to take a dog on long walks if necessary. I am new to the area so I’m hoping to eventually find a good location to play fetch with the dogs or allow them to run around off leash. Potty breaks can be taken whenever necessary as the exit to my apartment is right down the hall and out the door. My apartment is a newly renovated, 1-bedroom apartment and is kept extremely clean at all times. I have no problem cleaning up after a dog if he or she makes a mess or has an accident, but please let me know if this will be a problem in advance and we will discuss how to handle it. If the accidents are often, I may request a small fee for regular or repeated cleanups, as they can cost money if real damage is done. Destructive chewers should come with something reliable to chew on and keep them busy. If your dog has separation anxiety, please let me know before booking so I can make the necessary accommodations. If your dog has any specific quirks or habits that are need to know, please be sure to inform me prior to booking so I can take care of your baby’s needs. Please bring anything that your dog would usually need on a daily basis, including toys, leashes, harnesses, waste bags, blankets, treats, and even a bed or crate if necessary. Your dog will be taken care of as if it were my own, I understand that your dog is like your child and is therefore a member of your family. As a dog-mom, I know how scary it can be to leave your baby with a stranger. I promise to make your pup feel at home and welcome at all times, and will do everything I can to make your baby comfortable and feel loved throughout their visit. You will see photos of me and my dog Cloud in my profile who is now 6 but is with his dad in Hamden at this time. I rescued him from Georgia after his pregnant mother was abandoned on the side of the road, and raised him since he was 6 months old.

How I Care for Pets in Your Home – With Safety, Trust, and Comfort at the Heart of It All When I care for your pets, whether I’m house sitting, walking them, or simply dropping in, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has a unique routine, personality, and needs — and I take the time to learn and follow your instructions closely to ensure they feel secure and loved in your absence. In your home, I maintain a calm, respectful presence, keeping your pet’s environment clean, stress-free, and familiar. I provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), and gentle companionship, always with an eye on their behavior and well-being. For drop-ins and walks, I show up reliably and treat your pet like my own — keeping them on safe routes, away from hazards, and paying close attention to their body language and comfort. I always prioritize secure leash handling, water breaks, and positive reinforcement. Your trust means everything to me, and I care for your pets and home with professionalism, love, and integrity.

Absulotely the best experience ever! We were in a bit of a bind having found our dream rescue dog, but also had a wedding a week away. Maria came to the rescue and was able to accomodate our last minute needs and was flexible about dropping him off and picking up. She clearly loves what she does and we know Scooby got pampered! Loved the updates too! Super responsive! Scooby can’t wait to go back next time we are in need of a boarder!

We got lots of pictures and updates so I was completely at ease. We can’t wait to have Careen watch Shadow again!

About: Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. I’ve had and cared for animals for most of my life. About ten years ago I fostered for 8 years, I’ve fostered both healthy and sick cats and dogs. During that time, I provided love, comfort, and the special attention each animal needed to thrive. For the last two years, I’ve also been caring for other people’s pets, treating each one as if they were my own. My clients consistently give me great reviews, noting my reliability, compassion, and deep understanding of animal behavior. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and ensuring their safety, happiness, and well-being is something I take great pride in. I have a flexable private practice and love to take walks and cuddle with the animals. Care for pets fit in well. I love traveling to peoples homes mostly in the work I do. I care for pets by following their established routines and providing a safe, calm, and attentive environment. In my home, I make sure pets have a clean, pet-proofed space with plenty of supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, and enrichment. I follow all feeding instructions carefully, administer medication if needed, and ensure pets get appropriate playtime, rest, and affection. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s normal schedule to minimize stress. This includes feeding, walks or litter care, playtime, medication, and companionship. I also keep the home tidy, bring in mail or packages if requested, and provide regular updates with photos so owners feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.

If you need a pet sitter - Pauline is your girl!! I can’t thank her enough for hosting my two dogs in her home for the night. I received photos & an update within 30 minutes of dropping them off - & without having to check in myself - which I absolutely loved & appreciated. I then received updates all throughout the day which is exactly what I needed! She was VERY attentive to the dogs, asked about/followed their normal routine & updated me if she sensed anything was wrong or if the dogs seemed uncomfortable (one of them was exhibiting signs of an ear infection). I know my dogs were well taken care of and enjoyed their stay. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and we are so very grateful to Pauline!!!
