“My dogs had the best time on their vacation with Fabiana! She sent soo many pictures and communicated throughout their time away. I'm sure they will miss all the fun they had!”
“Kelsie was great with great communication and pictures of our boys. They have a fabulous fenced in yard they got to run around in. Looks like they had the best time! Recommended!!”
“Francisca took excellent care of my dog, Cash. She was very attentive and clearly cares about the animals she watches. I especially appreciated that she sent me regular picture updates, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Cash looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I highly recommend Francisca to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“This is the 2nd time that Hannah has boarded with Tom and Lyndsay. I love that they treat Hannah just like one of their own. She looks so relaxed in the pictures that they sent to me and I felt very comfortable that I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that she was in great hands. Cheryl L.”
About: I have been providing pet sitting for clients since 2020, caring for both dogs and cats. I am also a dog owner myself, and I have experience training my own dogs, so I understand the importance of structure, patience, and positive reinforcement. In my home, pets receive lots of love, attention, cuddles, and playtime. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family while they are here. We also enjoy fun and interactive time throughout the day to keep them happy and relaxed. My home is fully pet-friendly and equipped with toys, treats, and everything needed for daily care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always aim to provide a calm, loving environment.” Pet care fits into my daily routine because I am a stay-at-home caregiver, so I am home throughout the day and able to fully focus on the pets in my care. My schedule is very flexible and centered around feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and supervision. I plan my day around the pets so they are never left alone for long periods and always have attention, care, and consistency. On a weekly basis, I am able to accommodate regular bookings as well as longer stays since I am home most of the time. In my home, I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets are treated like part of the family. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest time. Pets are supervised throughout the day since I am home all day, and I make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation. I also keep a clean, pet-friendly space with toys, treats, and everything needed for their comfort. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their home and follow all instructions exactly as provided. I maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication if needed, and playtime. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident and reassured while they are away.
“Our German Shepherd loved his 10-day stay-- he was entertained by watching the neighboring farm animals and playing with their dog Moose. Kelsey took special care during a big thunderstorm, knowing he was particularly anxious. Very accommodating and flexible!”
“Ashlee was amazing! Our two dogs were well taken care of, and she was great with communication and even sharing picture updates of how they were doing :)”
“We had a great experience with them this weekend. They were responsive, easy to coordinate with, and kept me updated with messages/photos. Most importantly, my dog seemed comfortable and happy in their care. Highly recommend, we’ll be repeat clients.”
“Tia was great with both of my dogs. She sent many pictures and made me feel more at ease while I was out of town. I will definitely feel comfortable leaving my dogs with her again!”
“Toby was extremely well look after. We really appreciated all of the pictures that were sent on a daily basis. We will definitely use Claudia again she was amazing!”

“My dog had special needs after having a spinal surgery leaving him unable to walk temporarily. Omayra was amazing! She sent me updates, made sure to do his physical therapy exercises, and went above and beyond doing things for my dog beyond what I expected. She even got him a cake and balloons for his birthday. When I picked him up he had made so much progress regarding gaining strength in his legs ans trying to walk again. I was worried as I'd never used rover before and this was 10x better than taking him to a vet. She cared and gave him one on one attention. Showed concern and care in keeping his spirits up and keeping him stimulated. I could not be happier with the care and service she provided for my little buddy!”
About: I've spent many years caring for dogs and cats through animal rescue and fostering, working with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My experience includes puppies and kittens, seniors, shy and anxious pets, and animals with special medical or behavioral needs. I'm comfortable giving medications when needed, following detailed care instructions, and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I understand that every pet is unique, and I treat each one with the same patience, compassion, and attention I'd want for my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for animals throughout the day. I’m used to building my schedule around feeding, cleaning, playtime, and monitoring pets’ health and behavior. I’m organized and flexible, so I can adjust my day to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or scheduled visits, I prioritize being dependable and on time so pets stay comfortable and owners have peace of mind. In the owner’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes or potty breaks, and plenty of attention based on their personality and comfort level. I’m careful to maintain their routine so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. If caring for pets in my home, I would provide a calm, supervised environment, separate from my own pets if needed, and ensure they have a quiet, stress-free space with consistent care, attention, and supervision throughout their stay.
“Destony watched our boy Ace twice now! She is so skilled and highly knowledgeable! She was able to watch Ace the second time within a minutes notice while I had to go deliver my baby early due to severe preeclampsia. She not only took care of him on short notice, but also took extra time to bathe him and clip his nails, exercise him and everything. He came back a happy handsome boy! She sent photos and communicated everyday! Really couldn’t ask for a better caretaker for our Ace!”
“5 stars all around for Johnny! Our dog, Tony, was so happy and thrived in Johnny's care. It's an absolute bonus that Johnny is extremely active so he was able to run with our dog on a daily basis and wear Tony out. Tony continued his routine and flourished at Johnny's home with his dog, Vanna (such a wonderful dog as well). We are delighted that we found Johnny and it went so well that we immediately booked him for another 1.5 week boarding. Johnny provided frequent updates which created peace of mind for our family. Tony even came home with a bath and some tasty treats. It was a fantastic experience. Excellence all around!”

“Keira was absolutely amazing with our 14 week old Aussiedoodle puppy, Lily. She is very experienced and offered ideas on how to adjust to a rambunctious new addition in our home. Keira was an excellent communicator throughout these past two weeks, never hesitating to reach out if she had any questions or suggestions. We look forward to continuing to use Keira as Lily has grown so fond of her.”
“If you’re looking for an incredibly detail oriented, pet obsessed, dependable sitter - you can stop here, Nicoleia your girl. She did everything I asked to take care of my super senior cat, Simba, and wrote super detailed follow ups with tons of photos every single day. She even went above and beyond and noticed it was trash day and took my bins out without me asking. I’m super grateful to have found her - my cat gets upset every time I leave and usually lets me know by making all sorts of messes - Nicole is the first pet sitter I’ve had that he’s immediately loved so much that I don’t even have to worry about that. An actual pet whisperer, I finally have found someone that makes me not have to worry about my babies while I’m gone 🥹”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, and I truly enjoy working with pets of all kinds. My experience goes far beyond dogs and cats. I have cared for lizards, fed tortoises, maintained freshwater aquariums, and cared for fish. I especially enjoy creating healthy, natural aquarium environments. Give me instructions, and they’ll be followed. I also have experience caring for chickens. With dogs and cats, I’ve raised entire litters of both puppies and kittens, and I’m currently raising a kitten of my own. I have four dogs at home (three Pomeranians and one Chihuahua) and grew up with Labrador Retrievers, so I’m comfortable with both small and large breeds. I also grew up with many cats and am very comfortable caring for them. In addition to caring for my own animals, I have three years of dog walking experience. Whether your pet has fur, feathers, fins, or scales, I understand that every animal has unique needs and deserves patient, attentive care. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! 💚 I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available most evenings and all weekend, making it easy to accommodate walks and pet sitting. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. I know that keeping a familiar routine helps pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll also make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment based on their personality and needs. 💚
About: I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends since 2019. Never having a fur baby of my one, I give as many belly rubs to the ones I care for to make up for it! Since I WFH, my schedule is very flexible. It’s the perfect set up for midday walks and all day belly rubs! Having a car also allows flexibility so I’m available in various locations. I care for pets by going where they’re most comfortable. I’m happy to go to your home and give your pets the love they deserve while you get the vacay you need!
“absolutely amazing!! responsive, very kind, and took very good care of our cat. she took so many photos/and was very attentive to our cat’s medical considerations. he is very timid/shy and he loved rebecca so much, will be requesting her services always! :))”

About: I’ve been providing pet care services since 2020, mainly focused on drop in visits for cats. During these visits, I make sure cats are well cared for by feeding them, refreshing their water, and cleaning litter boxes so their environment stays clean and comfortable. I also take time to give them attention based on their personality whether they are social or prefer space.While I haven’t hosted cats in my home, I’m very experienced with in-home care and understand how important it is to maintain a pet’s routine and comfort in their own environment. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m also attentive to noticing changes in behavior or health and always communicate updates clearly to owners so they feel at ease while away.
“We have used Michelle several times now for in-house visits to care for our cat, Luna. Every time it has worked out splendidly. Our cat is usually very shy and timid around "strangers" but she immediately took to Michelle. She has gone above and beyond our expectations and we appreciate the regular photos and status reports. Being separated from your pet can be stressful but we feel much better knowing that Michelle is there and we're sure Luna does too.”
“Denis is a wonderful pet sitter who we have used at least 3 times now. We have never had someone stay with our cats and play with them like Denis has. Will choose Denis whenever possible before anyone else.”
About: I've had experience with cats my whole life, taking care of my grandma's cat and having 4 myself. I take a gentle approach with cats as I know they can be unpredictable. I can clean litter boxes, feed, administer oral medication, and bathe cats!
About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals, and caring for pets has always come naturally to me. When I was 13, I rescued a stray tortoiseshell kitten named Marble, and caring for her sparked my passion for cats. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience looking after multiple cats, including pet sitting regularly for my sister-in-law’s five cats.

“Jennifer and her family were so welcoming of our sweet girl. We have never boarded before and were very concerned & skeptical of just dropping her off with someone we didn’t know. Jennifer made this process very easy for us and responded to text/calls promptly. She was well taken care of and we were certainly pleased. Gypsy will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you so much Jennifer!!!”

Whether your pet has fur, feathers, fins, or scales, I understand that every animal has unique needs and deserves patient, attentive care. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! 💚 I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available most evenings and all weekend, making it easy to accommodate walks and pet sitting. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. I know that keeping a familiar routine helps pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll also make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment based on their personality and needs. 💚
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently care for three of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I work a part-time job, which gives me plenty of flexibility to include pet care in my daily routine. I’m able to plan my schedule around walks, drop-ins, and quality time with pets I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for whether they’re in my home or their own. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. I also give them plenty of attention, monitor their behavior, and keep their space clean and stress-free.
“Allie was an amazing dog walker and very kind to my senior friend who I was getting dog walking for. She looked out for him and told me when he needed more support! I can’t even begin to say how grateful I was that I chose her out of the three people available at that time. It wasn’t just that she gave five star service, she gave service from the bottom of her heart! The dog who is a little uncomfortable with strangers, felt right at home with her, and she was even able to take her to the groomers and take care of all her needs.”
About: I've spent many years caring for dogs and cats through animal rescue and fostering, working with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My experience includes puppies and kittens, seniors, shy and anxious pets, and animals with special medical or behavioral needs. I'm comfortable giving medications when needed, following detailed care instructions, and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I understand that every pet is unique, and I treat each one with the same patience, compassion, and attention I'd want for my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for animals throughout the day. I’m used to building my schedule around feeding, cleaning, playtime, and monitoring pets’ health and behavior. I’m organized and flexible, so I can adjust my day to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or scheduled visits, I prioritize being dependable and on time so pets stay comfortable and owners have peace of mind. In the owner’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes or potty breaks, and plenty of attention based on their personality and comfort level. I’m careful to maintain their routine so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. If caring for pets in my home, I would provide a calm, supervised environment, separate from my own pets if needed, and ensure they have a quiet, stress-free space with consistent care, attention, and supervision throughout their stay.

“My dog had special needs after having a spinal surgery leaving him unable to walk temporarily. Omayra was amazing! She sent me updates, made sure to do his physical therapy exercises, and went above and beyond doing things for my dog beyond what I expected. She even got him a cake and balloons for his birthday. When I picked him up he had made so much progress regarding gaining strength in his legs ans trying to walk again. I was worried as I'd never used rover before and this was 10x better than taking him to a vet. She cared and gave him one on one attention. Showed concern and care in keeping his spirits up and keeping him stimulated. I could not be happier with the care and service she provided for my little buddy!”
“Destony watched our boy Ace twice now! She is so skilled and highly knowledgeable! She was able to watch Ace the second time within a minutes notice while I had to go deliver my baby early due to severe preeclampsia. She not only took care of him on short notice, but also took extra time to bathe him and clip his nails, exercise him and everything. He came back a happy handsome boy! She sent photos and communicated everyday! Really couldn’t ask for a better caretaker for our Ace!”
“5 stars all around for Johnny! Our dog, Tony, was so happy and thrived in Johnny's care. It's an absolute bonus that Johnny is extremely active so he was able to run with our dog on a daily basis and wear Tony out. Tony continued his routine and flourished at Johnny's home with his dog, Vanna (such a wonderful dog as well). We are delighted that we found Johnny and it went so well that we immediately booked him for another 1.5 week boarding. Johnny provided frequent updates which created peace of mind for our family. Tony even came home with a bath and some tasty treats. It was a fantastic experience. Excellence all around!”

Open to special requests such as if you want your dog walked at a park once a day, or kept separate from any other animals, etc. also if you’d like daily or multidaily updates and photos that can be requested. I work from home as a tailor so I’m home most of the day, no long hours away. I live alone so no extra people or strangers will be in the house or going in and out throughout the day.

I try to follow the same rules they live by at home including if they’re allowed on furniture, how they’re fed, etc.
