“It was our first time leaving our dog with a stranger and we were a bit anxious. Two weeks later, we came to pick her up and she was happier than we could have imagined! She had a great time with the whole pack and in the big yard. Anthony was great at communicating throughout, sending us daily pictures and updates. We plan to make him our regular sitter.”
“Second time my Callie was cared for by Bruce and it was another wonderful experience. By the pictures and communication from Bruce I could tell Callie was well cared for and happy. Thank you again Bruce for taking such exceptional care of Callie. I highly recommend Bruce.”
“Steven and Claudia were very professional and took care of my dog as if he were their own. Not only this, but they accepted my last-minute booking which made everything immensely easier for me. Would highly recommend.”
“Christopher was very accommodating and flexible. He went out of his way to pick up Cameo at a more ideal timing prior to my departure for my work trip. He sent daily updates and pictures of Cameo playing and answered any questions that I had. Cameo got lots of play time and came home happy and exhausted :)”
“We couldn’t have been happier with Bri, who took such great care of Mack for us. She kept in touch, sent pup pics, and showed concern for allergies when our dog decided he was hungry and ate her tray of sushi. Most people could’ve gotten really mad, yet Bri showed genuine concern for his health and wellbeing. We won’t hesitate to book with her in the future!”
“We were very nervous to leave our Zeus with someone we haven’t met before but Cassandra made us feel so at ease in her beautiful home. Zeus did so great and it was great that Cassandra sent updates and picture and video of our boy. Highly recommend!”
“Bianka took great care of our dog Scooby, who presents with many challenges, including anxiety and blindness. She spent a lot of time with Scooby, such as by walking, petting, and playing with him. She even kept him company and played calming music for him when he woke up in the middle of the night. Bianka also sent frequent updates that included pictures. We are so grateful for Bianka!”
“Stephanie did a great job caring for our Hugo! He came back to us happy and healthy :) We especially appreciated how quick Stephanie was to respond and send updates. Would 100% book with her again!”
“This was Luna's first time being away from us and I was so afraid with how she might be with someone new and away from her family. To my surprise she did fantastic with Lauren and had alot of fun! I received many pictures of Luna throughout her time away and little updates. She socialized with other pups, smelled amazing since she was bathed before she came home, and I can tell she was comfortable because when I got there she wiggled her little rump and was so excited to see me but she also would go back to Lauren to say goodbye. It was the sweetest thing. Thank you again, Luna will definitely be back!”
“Jayme really helped us out with watching Diesel when we had to go away for a long weekend for a family wedding. I felt very comfortable knowing that Diesel was in good hands and that he had a yard to play around with. Jayme is very kind and sent several pictures of Diesel. Knowing that he was in someone’s loving home and not in a boarding facility put me at ease. I would recommend Jayme without hesitation for anyone who wants their dog to have a home away from home!”
“Mikayla and Justine were both amazing with our dog Lew! He can be a little nervous, and they went out of their way to keep him comfortable and happy while we were away. We also got in depth notes about his day along with pictures everyday, which was so helpful! We will definitely use them again -- great sitters!”
“Sai did an amazing job with Kali! It was her first time away from home, and she was given all the love she needed and wanted to be comfortable. Sai sent pictures and updates throughout her stay, giving us the reassurance we needed. We look forward to booking with her again!”
“Second time buddy stayed with Brittany and her family and he had a good time. He didn’t come home clingy or anxious. Brittany kept me updated with lovely glamour shot of Buddy throughout the stay. Would recommend her without any reservations.”
“Karina and Teresa were absolutely amazing with Evee! From start to finish, they took such great care of her and made me feel completely at ease. They sent tons of photos and videos, which I really appreciated; it was so clear how happy, comfortable, and well-loved Evee was the entire time. 🥰🥰 Evee came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. You can tell they genuinely love what they do and treat your pet like their own. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters and would 100% trust them with Evee again. Highly recommend!”
“Andrea was super nice and managed to accomodate our last-minute Christmas booking. She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, and our dogs looked quite happy and relaxed. Her house has a fenced-in area that they loved to play in. Most impressive of all, though, was that Andrea let the dogs into her bedroom (they are used to sleeping next to us), on Christmas no less. Our dogs seemed in great shape when we picked them up after their 3 day stay. She seems to be a very caring and careful dog sitter. We would have no hesitation in our leaving our dogs with her again. Thanks!”
“I thoroughly enjoyed the peace of mind that came with leaving my dog in her hands. She was very flexible with timing. Quick to respond. And took care of my dog exactly as I needed. I will 100%. Board my good boy with her. Whenever possible in the future.”
About: What sets me apart is the personalized, attentive care I give every dog as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pup’s routine, personality, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with puppies who need patience, structure, potty training support, and consistent reinforcement of basic commands, as well as senior dogs who may require slower walks, medication reminders, extra comfort, or mobility support. I’m reliable, communicative, and provide regular updates with photos so you always know your dog is happy and well cared for. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, elderly, or needs extra attention, I focus on creating a calm, trustworthy environment tailored to them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make their care a priority in my schedule. I plan my days to allow plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and one-on-one attention so pets never feel rushed or overlooked. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, and weekends, which allows me to accommodate different routines and energy levels. Whether it’s keeping an active dog engaged, maintaining a puppy’s training schedule, or providing a calm, comfortable environment for a senior pet, I make sure each animal receives consistent care, companionship, and attention throughout their stay. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, crate routines, and bedtime habits to help reduce stress and keep them happy. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, exercise, affection, and space to relax. I make sure they have regular potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of attention throughout the day. I also separate pets when needed to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s familiar environment and maintain their usual schedule to help them feel at ease while you’re away. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, and I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can quickly respond to any changes or needs. My goal is always to provide dependable, loving care and make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 16. Friends and family trust me to walk, feed and take care of their dogs. I am comfortable taking dogs for long walks around the neighborhood or to the dog park, and I have stayed in home as a pet sitter. My family has a dog and I am involved in her care and play time on a daily basis. I have a very flexible schedule and have lots of time for your pup. I am available for late morning and afternoon walks and playtime. I have an energetic 60 pound dog. I am used to walking a strong dog and can easily handle a dog that may pull. I am happy to walk your dog in your neighborhood and/or play in your yard. I will work with whatever routine your dog is accustomed to.
About: I have taken care of stray cats and my own cats my whole life and have a baby of my own at the moment. I’ve taken care of kittens and older cats as well, have handled medicating them and will adjust to any personality :)
“This was our second time having Melissa cat sit, and again she took great care of our cats! She gave medications and had no problems working with our somewhat difficult cat. I always hope she’s available when we travel!”
About: Cats have been a part of my life since day one, literally! Growing up, I was the go-to person for looking after our cats whenever my parents traveled. I've since cared for cats for friends and neighbors, including senior cats with medication schedules and litter box challenges. I'm calm, patient, and know that cats can be particular; I take the time to learn each cat's routine and quirks so they feel completely at ease. Your cat is in experienced, loving hands!
“Sandy is terrific! My dog Mika took to her right away at their Meet & Greet and was happy to see her when she arrived to walk and feed her a couple of days later. She communicates promptly which I really appreciate. I'll definitely be hiring Sandy again.”
“This was my first time using Rover and the first time letting someone else watch my animals. I can say with full confidence that Kate is the best pet sitter anyone could ask for. She is responsive, respectful and amazing in all aspects. My cats took a personal liking to her, and for one of my cats that is very difficult in trusting new people. Sure enough day 1 he was asking to be pet by her. If you want to go away or need to find someone to trust your pets with, Kate is the person to use!”
“Emily is such a wonderful pet sitter! She goes above and beyond each time she visits with my kitties. It is clear that they feel exceptionally comfortable around her 😻”
About: I've looked after animals since I was a kid. I love cats and dogs alike and would look after them for loved ones and neighbors. I have a flexible schedule right now. I am currently looking for a more stable job but I have lots of experience working with animals and I know how to handle them with respect and safety. I like to visit the dogs in there own homes and take them for walks. I let to dog tell me what they need usually depending on energy levels. If they have a lot of energy I'll take them out longer or if they don't want to move I would take them as long as it took for them to relieve themselves and then I will engage them in play.
“Marsela was FANTASTIC! Her updates made me so much more comfortable leaving my baby, Dooby, for a week-long visit home for the holidays. I will definitely be re-booking with her in the future!”
“Bailee is amazing. The kitties were so happy when we got home and we could tell they were very loved. She sent updates and was always so quick to respond. We definitely will be booking again with her soon!”
“Olivia did an awesome job ! It's always hard trusting someone to care for your babies but she gave me peace of mind while I was away. My cat warmed up to her right away which made me happy that they had company while I was gone 🥰 she even took the initiative to clean up and always reached out if she had any questions. She was quick to respond, followed all care instructions, and the communication was great! Lots of pics ☺️ I highly recommend her and look forward to having her sit for me again !”
About: I’ve been a cat owner for over 10 years and have experience caring for cats with a wide range of personalities, from energetic and playful to shy and independent. Over the years, I’ve learned how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are when caring for cats. What sets me apart is that I understand cats on their terms. I know that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level, so I take the time to make them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, affection, or simply having a calm and reliable presence nearby, I’ll adapt to their needs. As a cat owner myself, I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet behind. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is happy, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Emily did a wonderful job caring for & playing with our 5+ month old kitten brothers over a holiday weekend! It was the first time we had to leave them but Emily’s demeanor and attentiveness had me feeling relaxed to take our trip! The boys were exercised. Their litter boxes were taken care of too, which they can be very finicky about!”
About: For the past 5 years I’ve taken care and rescued dozens of stray cats. I have adopted 3 of said stray cats and have loved sharing life with them and playing with them for the past 4 years. I love to say cats love me as much as I love them.

“Gracie had a great day with Mariana and her crew. Mariana welcomed her with open arms. Having the fenced back yard so accessible is perfect for letting dogs in and out as needed, but the house itself is comfy and warm -- just right for these snowy, cold winter days. I highly recommend Mariana as a loving dog care giver.”
“Steven and Claudia are awesome dog people. They kept in touch with pictures and a video and Mello was very happy when I picked him up. Would definitely book again!!”
“Brianna was a wonderful host for my dog Bear! She clearly has a love for animals and was even willing to bring my dog on a car ride so he wouldn't be alone for 45 minutes. Would definitely bring my dog back again!”
“Stephanie took great care of my beagle for three days while I had to travel out of state. He came home to me exhausted and happy after full days of playing and walks. Thanks Stephanie!”
“Zuleima accepted our request last minute and was very flexible and communicative, also through pictures! Virgola seemed very happy of her time there and loved playing with her kids—she didn’t want to leave. I’ll definitely consider booking again. Thanks!”
“We took Frances to daycare as a first step before considering boarding. From the very beginning, Raeven was very kind and welcoming. It was our first time using this service, and it couldn’t have gone better. Now we feel at ease knowing that our pup will stay in a place we trust.”

“My fur baby requires a great deal of attention due to some health challenges. This makes me very careful about who cares for him. I am so Blessed to have Liza taking care of my lil guy. I would highly recommend her to people that need puppy ? care”
“My family cannot imagine leaving our puppy Waylon with anyone but Howard not only made it easy and accommodating but was there whenever we texted to check in. We were completely stress-free for the whole day. Howard will be our go-to whenever we need an overnight or day trip stay for Waylon.”
“Andrea was just wonderful. It was my first time leaving them with a sitter. I knew I could trust her with my babies right off the bat. She’s sweet and caring and communicated with me the whole time because I was anxious being away from them. It’s easy to see that she is a dog person to the core. Highly recommend!”

“This was my first time using Rover and Cheyanne made everything really easy! From the meet and greet to the actual first day of day care, Cheyanne answered messages quickly, was so kind, and was great with our pup.”
“Sabina was awesome. Our plans when visiting New Haven changed several times and Sabina was very accommodating to meet our needs. Plus, Sam is normally quite shy around new people but warmed quickly to Sabina.”
About: I have taken care of dog for over five years since I was little! as an animal lover, I have always felt a strong connection with our furry little friends. Over the years, I have taken care of several dogs and cats for family and friends. From providing them with a lovely home to ensuring they receive the best possible care, I believe all pets deserve to be treated with love, respect, and compassion. I am excited and committed to taking care of your pets! I am currently a student, so I’ll have plenty of times dedicated to taking care of the pets. I only take one animal at a time, so I make sure that each animal gets my full attention. I live in an apartment, but I take dogs out for walks quite often throughout the day to make sure they’re not holding back. if I believe in giving the most loving and comfortable environment for our pets. So I strive to keep my household very clean and pay close attention to the hygiene of the animals
About: Since I’ve been a little girl I’ve grown up with all types of dogs. Whether it comes to hyper dogs, lazy dogs, mean dogs, you name it! I love taking care of dogs because they are my favorite animal and they deserve all the love in the world. I understand how hard it can be to take care of your dog when your busy, your pet is basically your child. I would take care of your pet as if it was your everything. I have grown up with a dog family and have had up to as many as five dogs at one time. I’m well aware of the needs a dog or cat needs, and I’m the perfect sitter to take care of your dog.
About: I was very lucky to be born into a dog-loving family and was raised learning how to care for furry friends as a part of the family. Since then, I have continued to dog sit for friends and family alike, including elderly dogs that are deaf and blind. My other job is to support people through crisis situations, which allows me to respond effectively and responsibly in case something unexpected arises. I am very organized and punctual and have lots of practice in coordination. I wish I could have a dog of my own, but due to frequent traveling, it’s sadly not the right time for me. I love having the opportunity through Rover. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy! First and foremost, I like to introduce myself to the pet to see if they feel comfortable with me. Once I am able to establish trust with an introduction to your pet, I will make sure that I understand from the owner what they expect to keep the pet safe and happy. The biggest thing is to approach each pet with patience and care, and focus on ensuring the pet feels safe and happy and the owners are able to have peace of mind and strong communication while they are gone.

“Sandra was fantastic!! She was friendly, professional and great with our dog Maple. We had a last minute need and she came in clutch and would absolutely recommend her!”
About: While I'm newer to formal pet sitting, I've cared for dogs and cats for family friends and neighbors so your pet won't be my first! I'm a natural with animals, patient, and attentive to each pet's personality. I love dog walking (it's my favorite way to get cardio in!), so your dog will always get an enthusiastic, energetic walker. Based in the New Haven area for the summer and completely available, your pet will get my full, undivided attention! Pet care fits seamlessly into my life! My work schedule is completely flexibility-based: I work at a restaurant where I set my own availability, and my research work is fully remote with no fixed hours. That means I can genuinely shape my day around your pet's needs rather than squeezing them in between commitments. Whether it's a midday walk, morning feeding, or overnight stay, I can make it work. Your pet's routine always comes first! When I'm in a client's home, I treat it with the same respect I'd want for my own. I'm a naturally neat and organized person, so you'll never come home to a mess! I follow care instructions to the letter because I'm very detail-oriented and deliberate, so nothing gets missed or forgotten. I also know how much pet parents worry when they're away, so I stay highly responsive to messages and love sending update photos so you always know your pet is happy and thriving. Communication and trust are everything to me!

“Our dog can be very shy and nervous around new people, but with Melissa, she felt comfortable from the very beginning. It was incredible. It feels so good to have someone you can trust. Thank you, Meli.”
About: Ever since I was little, i’ve taken care of dogs that are stray as my own, i’ve raised my own dogs of many types of breeds including shitzu, pitbull, yorkie, etc. and i’ve known to take care of them in the serious moments when they’re sick and know how to handle medication, and in the best moments in playtime with non stop energy! At the moment, I am out of school for the summer and I am working part-time but with no set schedule, so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your babies, and I offer drop-ins as well. Just send me a message and we can figure something out! We used to crate our dogs but we’ve recently stopped, but I can do that if those are your rules. I take care of my own cat switching her litter box every 1-2 weeks, feeding her 2 times a day, I brush her fur and have toys for her as well! With my dogs, they also get fed 2 times a day, they get walked most days, and they have their own grass potty area, and they have plenty of toys (lol).
“Andrea took Harry for good long walks and really engaged with him. She shared photos and videos and was really great to communicate with. Highly recommend her!”
“Emily was great! Availed herself last minute on Valentines Day to walk my little guy, not once but twice. She maintained communication throughout the entire time and I know my boy was well taken care! Thank you Emily, we will be reaching out again: Linus seemed happy and content!”
About: I've had cats in my life ever since I was 10 years old. Bear and Chip are two of the more important things in my life who I grew up with and took care of all the way until I moved out of my parents house a few years ago. I learned to take care of pets at a really young age because of them, and now, I rescued two cats on my own with my fiancé whom we love and adore (Benji and Clementine). I'd love to be able to extend that care onto your pets as I am super passionate about making sure pets are loved and supported properly. I work from home, so am very flexible when it comes to drop in visits or walking your dog throughout the week or on the weekends! In my home I make sure my pets are on really good terms with each other first and foremost. We give them plenty of entertainment and stimulation to make sure they aren't bored and I definitely go out of my way most of my time to make sure they're loved and comfortable in our home. In terms of being in other people's places, I can adapt very easily and know when a cat is comfortable or not. I will never be too overbearing to a pet when I know there isn't full trust there but I will still make sure they're getting the care they need.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have owned dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve also had cats for over 10 years, giving me experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I give every pet. I understand that each animal is unique, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities to make them feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’m happy to provide the care they need. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give owners peace of mind through reliable, loving care and regular updates. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care.

I treat every home with respect, keep owners updated with messages and photos, and strive to provide dependable care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Paul was just perfect for my needs. He walked my two Welsh Corgi's while I was away. He was always prompt, courteous and considerate. My pups grew to like him a lot, and the walking became and happy for them. My husband, who remained at home during this trip, was very pleased. Thank you Paul!”
About: I absolutely love taking care of animals! I have owned dogs, cats, rabbits, and hamsters. I enjoy an active lifestyle and am able to meet the exercise needs of any pet. Depending on your dog and their abilities, I can provide tons of outdoor time. I usually do around 45 minutes to 1 hour long walk in the morning, with another long walk or fun outdoor activity in the afternoon (swimming, hiking, fetch in the park, etc). I live in a single-family home with my sister Alexis. I work full-time, but have a hybrid work schedule and have many days/mornings/afternoons where I am able to work from home. I can accommodate different schedules and times for drop-offs and pick-ups with enough notice. My sister works full-time from 7am-3:30pm, so your pup won't spend too much time alone. I do not work on the weekends and therefore am free to take your pup to different spots to play! I have a small yard that is partially fenced, but am also able to take your dog on long walks in the neighborhood. Let me know if your dog can go off-leash, or if they should remain leashed or in fenced-in areas. I do have a long line (30ft) that can be used with your dog so they can explore and run while still being leashed.

“It was our first time leaving our dog with a stranger and we were a bit anxious. Two weeks later, we came to pick her up and she was happier than we could have imagined! She had a great time with the whole pack and in the big yard. Anthony was great at communicating throughout, sending us daily pictures and updates. We plan to make him our regular sitter.”
“Second time my Callie was cared for by Bruce and it was another wonderful experience. By the pictures and communication from Bruce I could tell Callie was well cared for and happy. Thank you again Bruce for taking such exceptional care of Callie. I highly recommend Bruce.”
“Stephanie did a great job with LJ. Even provided a companion dog for him! She was incredibly flexible for our horrendous drop-off time of 4:30 am (to catch an early flight from Tweed) and was ready for us when we returned to pick him up. I highly recommend her.”
“Tara is a great care giver for my dog, a large lan. She has a a dog equipped home and a fenced in back yard. She’s cheerful, accommodating, and provided healthy snacks. She and her husband took her for walks multiple times per day. Totally trustworthy and communicative. Best Rover find ever!”
“Christopher was very accommodating and flexible. He went out of his way to pick up Cameo at a more ideal timing prior to my departure for my work trip. He sent daily updates and pictures of Cameo playing and answered any questions that I had. Cameo got lots of play time and came home happy and exhausted :)”
“We couldn’t have been happier with Bri, who took such great care of Mack for us. She kept in touch, sent pup pics, and showed concern for allergies when our dog decided he was hungry and ate her tray of sushi. Most people could’ve gotten really mad, yet Bri showed genuine concern for his health and wellbeing. We won’t hesitate to book with her in the future!”
“We were very nervous to leave our Zeus with someone we haven’t met before but Cassandra made us feel so at ease in her beautiful home. Zeus did so great and it was great that Cassandra sent updates and picture and video of our boy. Highly recommend!”
“Bianka took great care of our dog Scooby, who presents with many challenges, including anxiety and blindness. She spent a lot of time with Scooby, such as by walking, petting, and playing with him. She even kept him company and played calming music for him when he woke up in the middle of the night. Bianka also sent frequent updates that included pictures. We are so grateful for Bianka!”
“This was Luna's first time being away from us and I was so afraid with how she might be with someone new and away from her family. To my surprise she did fantastic with Lauren and had alot of fun! I received many pictures of Luna throughout her time away and little updates. She socialized with other pups, smelled amazing since she was bathed before she came home, and I can tell she was comfortable because when I got there she wiggled her little rump and was so excited to see me but she also would go back to Lauren to say goodbye. It was the sweetest thing. Thank you again, Luna will definitely be back!”
“Jayme really helped us out with watching Diesel when we had to go away for a long weekend for a family wedding. I felt very comfortable knowing that Diesel was in good hands and that he had a yard to play around with. Jayme is very kind and sent several pictures of Diesel. Knowing that he was in someone’s loving home and not in a boarding facility put me at ease. I would recommend Jayme without hesitation for anyone who wants their dog to have a home away from home!”
“Mikayla and Justine were both amazing with our dog Lew! He can be a little nervous, and they went out of their way to keep him comfortable and happy while we were away. We also got in depth notes about his day along with pictures everyday, which was so helpful! We will definitely use them again -- great sitters!”
“Sai did an amazing job with Kali! It was her first time away from home, and she was given all the love she needed and wanted to be comfortable. Sai sent pictures and updates throughout her stay, giving us the reassurance we needed. We look forward to booking with her again!”
“Second time buddy stayed with Brittany and her family and he had a good time. He didn’t come home clingy or anxious. Brittany kept me updated with lovely glamour shot of Buddy throughout the stay. Would recommend her without any reservations.”
“Karina and Teresa were absolutely amazing with Evee! From start to finish, they took such great care of her and made me feel completely at ease. They sent tons of photos and videos, which I really appreciated; it was so clear how happy, comfortable, and well-loved Evee was the entire time. 🥰🥰 Evee came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. You can tell they genuinely love what they do and treat your pet like their own. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters and would 100% trust them with Evee again. Highly recommend!”
“Andrea was super nice and managed to accomodate our last-minute Christmas booking. She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, and our dogs looked quite happy and relaxed. Her house has a fenced-in area that they loved to play in. Most impressive of all, though, was that Andrea let the dogs into her bedroom (they are used to sleeping next to us), on Christmas no less. Our dogs seemed in great shape when we picked them up after their 3 day stay. She seems to be a very caring and careful dog sitter. We would have no hesitation in our leaving our dogs with her again. Thanks!”
“I thoroughly enjoyed the peace of mind that came with leaving my dog in her hands. She was very flexible with timing. Quick to respond. And took care of my dog exactly as I needed. I will 100%. Board my good boy with her. Whenever possible in the future.”
About: What sets me apart is the personalized, attentive care I give every dog as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pup’s routine, personality, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with puppies who need patience, structure, potty training support, and consistent reinforcement of basic commands, as well as senior dogs who may require slower walks, medication reminders, extra comfort, or mobility support. I’m reliable, communicative, and provide regular updates with photos so you always know your dog is happy and well cared for. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, elderly, or needs extra attention, I focus on creating a calm, trustworthy environment tailored to them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make their care a priority in my schedule. I plan my days to allow plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and one-on-one attention so pets never feel rushed or overlooked. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, and weekends, which allows me to accommodate different routines and energy levels. Whether it’s keeping an active dog engaged, maintaining a puppy’s training schedule, or providing a calm, comfortable environment for a senior pet, I make sure each animal receives consistent care, companionship, and attention throughout their stay. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, crate routines, and bedtime habits to help reduce stress and keep them happy. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, exercise, affection, and space to relax. I make sure they have regular potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of attention throughout the day. I also separate pets when needed to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s familiar environment and maintain their usual schedule to help them feel at ease while you’re away. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, and I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can quickly respond to any changes or needs. My goal is always to provide dependable, loving care and make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
