Personalized care for your dog or cat - Gifford
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Gifford
“Maria was wonderful with our little man, Kenobi, a minnie golden doodle. She welcomed him into her home and loved on him from day one. We are sure he enjoyed her dogs, all the other animals, and the spacious room to roam and play. We received pictures of him and texts every day while we were gone. He seemed relaxed, happy, and very comfortable with Maria. He had not been away from us very often, but he settled in with Maria right away. Maria was always happy, smiling, and very pleasant to deal with. We will definitely let Kenobi visit her again.”
“My dog’s home away from home, she absolutely loves being at Hailey and Will’s. I am never worried about her while she is there, I know they treat her as their own. She comes home wiped out from playing with their dogs which means I still get a little break when I get home.”
About: I thoroughly enjoy going on a long walk with a dog by my side. I treat dogs as though they are humans and love being in their company. I am often available and am happy to help where need-be. I am good with dogs that bite and big dogs as well. I will treat your dog with respect and care for him/her like a human. I love dogs and this job is such a positive in my life. I handle pets responsibly and as though they are children. I read/listen to instructions carefully and will not hesitate to ask questions. I am prompt and will not hesitate to communicate if there are any issues. I will give your good boys and girls the love they deserve and i’m grateful for the experience!
“Amanda was so wonderful with our babies! She provided frequent updates, asked clarifying questions when needed, and gave both of our pups so much love and attention. They had the best time with her and I would highly recommend her for any of your dog sitting needs!”
About: I have loved dogs since childhood and worked training and caring for them since that time. I enjoy making dogs feel happy, loved and secure. I’m retired and enjoy walking. As a retiree I can devote as much time as needed for walks, play and cuddles! I also give unlimited belly rubs!! I have a large screened lanai for my charges to relax and enjoy the outdoors as well as a comfortable, safe home. I’m also experienced in giving meds.
“Very kind, loved the picture updates, and my dog was very well cared for. It was so nice to be able to enjoy my trip without having to worry about my dog because I knew he was being taken well cared of. Thank you!”
“Jorge provided truly outstanding pet sitting service! From the moment he stepped in, my pets were not only well cared for—they were genuinely happy and comfortable. It was clear they felt safe and loved, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Communication with Jorge was amazing. He kept me updated regularly with photos and thoughtful messages, and was always quick to respond to any questions. His professionalism and warmth made the entire experience seamless. I would definitely recommend choosing Jorge for your pet sitting needs. He goes above and beyond, and your pets will thank you for it!”
“Joe is a great sitter and I knew Willa was in good hands. House and backyard set up is perfect to make the stay feel like home. The videos throughout the stay were great and reassuring. We and she will be back! Thanks.”
“Nicole was absolutely great. Couldn't be happier with her service, care and updates while watching our dog Molly. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a great care.”
“Yussel and family did a fantastic job of taking care of Jake while we were gone. They have a wonderful fenced backyard and played fetch with him a lot. He was very well cared for. We would highly recommend her for boarding your dog!!!”
“Billy Boy and our family couldn't be more blessed to find Sonia. She is truly God sent. Previously we were boarding Billy which were AWFUL experiences, no updates nor feedback after pickup. Billy had stress colitis for days after. We knew boarding was not an option and then heard about Rover. We requested for a meet up. A first meeting Sonia, we knew Billy would be comfortable and enjoy his time away from us. It was like going to an auntie's house. Sonia kept us posted with pictures and updates on his feeding / potty routines. Billy's loves playing and running so Sonia sent us notes about their walks and how he was getting along with the other puppies. During down time we could just see Billy feeling at home. Sonia sent many pictures of nap time on the couch and best of all bedtime with Sonia. Yes, Billy's a very spoiled son, yet Sonia accommodated when we told her Billy sleeps with us in bed. We know Billy definitely be well cared for his next visit. Praying it will be with Sonia , she is an amazing and compassionate young woman. If we could, we would rate 100 out of 5 stars! Thank you so much Sonia!!!”
About: Patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I’m comfortable caring for energetic young pets as well as seniors who may need extra patience, medication support, or a calmer routine. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away. I have taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. Whether it be family or friends; pet owners have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and care for their fur babies. I have my own 8 year old husky and care for all dogs as if they are my own. I currently work part time as a pharmacy technician, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet during the week. Pet care is part of my daily routine through feeding, walks, playtime, grooming, and companionship. I prioritize keeping pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I have a big backyard, lots of toys and a 8 year old husky of my own who loves other dogs. I can crate your dog if needed/separate.
“Theresa was amazing. She was so affectionate with Lexi. I received many photos during the stay which made me very comfortable that Lexi was getting great care. I will definitely use Theresa again.”
“What an extremely wonderful kind person, we felt at ease leaving her my Chihuahua. She texted us pictures and messages to let us know he was doing very well. She also administered his medication twice daily. Im not sure he missed us, lol. So glad we found someone we trust. Thanks Cely”
“My dogs love Caesar and his family. They run to his door every time we get there and I pick them up exhausted! Caesar accommodates us at a moments notice. I get off work late at times and he always makes sure my pups are taken care of. This level of peace of mind is immeasurable!”
“Mia came through in a pinch for us and was an excellent choice to watch our mid-sized dog. She happily accepted boarding of Tilly on short notice over a holiday period. She asked questions about Tilly’s needs, sent photos daily, was very prompt in her communication and very prepared for both dropoff and final pickup. Thx Mia - we will be in touch again!”
“This is my 1st visit with Kendra and she was amazing with our 14yr old baby! Kendra's daughters were so caring and loving towards Scruffy. I highly recommend her! She will be my go to dog sitter moving forward hands down!”
“First of all, Michael took our dog on a last second request, which by itself was already great. Everything went smoothly, great communication, and our dog had a great time. We couldn't be happier about the experience and treatment from Michael.”

“Cheyanne was unbelievable! Expert, cats LOVED her. She did Soooo much above and beyond. A Gem: a very professional yet sweet person. Our cats flocked to her. There’s no rating high enough.”
About: I have had hands on experience from working in an animal hospital for 3 years. I worked as an animal’s, assistant along side the veterinarian. I have watched neighbors cats fed them, played with them and have made sure they were well.
“Melissa is terrific! She was fantastic at taking care of our senior cat and the extra care she needed. Great at communicating and sharing photos and videos.”
About: I’ve grown up in a home with three cats, so caring for felines is second nature to me! From playful kittens to independent seniors, I understand that every cat has their own personality and preferences. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, administering medications, and giving space when needed—or snuggles when invited! Whether your cat is shy, curious, or full of sass, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away.
About: What sets me apart is my attentiveness and consistency. I follow your cat’s routine closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, litter box care, or playtime. I’m very observant and make sure to notice any changes in behavior or mood. I treat every cat like they’re my own.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm, I cared for everything from small livestock to beloved family pets, giving me hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and personalities. Over the years, I've cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, pot-bellied pigs, sheep, goats, horses, donkeys, cows, reptiles, and amphibians. Most recently, I've provided care for senior dogs and understand the extra patience, compassion, and attention they need as they age. My diverse background allows me to confidently care for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and life stages. Pet care fits well into my current routine. I'm currently attending school to become an airline pilot, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. For house sitting and overnight stays, some advance coordination may be needed since I'm a single dad. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and accommodating whenever possible. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, I treat your animals, property, and routines with the utmost respect. I take the time to learn each pet's unique needs, maintain consistent routines, and provide attentive care to help them feel secure and happy. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind, knowing their furry family members are being cared for with kindness, dignity, and genuine affection.
About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I love. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities and understand that every pet has unique needs. Whether it’s keeping up with an active pup, sticking to a feeding routine, or offering extra cuddles and reassurance, I’m dedicated to providing dependable, loving care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so incorporating walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of love and attention into my day comes easily. I have a full-time job but allows rushes home to provide dependable care and make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any medications or special needs. I also make sure pets receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship while their owners are away. My goal is to keep pets happy, safe, and stress-free while giving pet parents peace of mind through regular updates and photos.
About: I have a cat so I know how moody and stubborn they can be especially when their food bowl is getting low. I also was a technician for 7 years so I can prepared for hard to pill cats. Also, currently work at Live Oak animal hospital.
About: I’ve had 2-3 cats at all times in the last 25 years. Their individual habits and quirks fascinate me — I could watch & play with them for hours! In my own home, I’m on the litter box in no time (I couldn’t imagine what it would be like to have to step my own bare feet in a dirty, smelly toilet. No. Just NO).
About: I grew up with three cats in my childhood home. I was taught to groom and care for them from a young age. One of which is part Maine Coon, so her coat always needed extra love. Now in my own home, I have two cats, one of which is a Persian. Persians also needs some extra loving to stay happy and healthy, but there isn’t a line i’m worried about crossing when it comes to animals. I have experience with many different types of cats, and I will be ready for any specific needs your pet has.
About: I’ve been caring for cats my entire life and understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine. I have experience with cats of all ages, from playful kittens to seniors, and I’m happy to provide feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm presence for more independent cats. My goal is always to make your cat feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away.

“After a meet-and-greet with Hailey and Will, they took Samuel for the day. It went so well that any time in the future when I'll need either daycare or boarding for Sam they will definitely be my "go-to" resource. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hailey/Will , , ,”
“Beatriz was great with Samuel and clearly he had an active, good time during his visit, Sam has a good deal of energy and when I brought him home, he went right down for the evening . . . always a solid indicator! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Beatriz and will use her again.”
About: Hello everyone thank you for taking a look at my profile. I will be in south Florida until August. I recently moved to Manchester from Chattanooga and will service all surrounding areas. Growing up I had a love for animals which was apparent by me caring for the cities uncared for and abandoned strays. (I fed everything that followed me home). It was only fitting as an adult I became a Firefighter enabling me to help people and animals on a much larger scale. During my time in the fire service, I was deployed to help in the rescue effort after the devastating earthquake in Haiti. Upon returning from my deployment, I wanted to learn how to train search and rescue dogs. In my quest to do so, I noticed a trend in rescue groups popping up all over, along with people abandoning their pets. There was an alarming rate of how many dogs were being taken to shelters and euthanized. My mission shifted once I realized I could help. I retired from the Broward Sheriff’s Office in 2015 to further my quest to help people have a better relationship with their furry friends by starting Dunne Right Dog Training. Today along with my sidekick Monster we are sharing our knowledge and passion for keeping these loving dogs in their happy homes furever. Should you decide to use me for any of your pets needs I can assure you that your 4-legged child will be safe and cared for as if they were my own. Your dog will be exercised both mentally and physically, along with any other instructions you have. Medical needs.... no problem! I volunteered at my Vet’s office for several years and assisted with multiple procedures along with medication administration. I recently moved to Chattanooga and will gladly provide further references upon request. I was once you looking for reliable “child” pet care and I know how valuable piece of mind is when it comes to our pets. Let me help give you that no worry service for whatever you, and your pet need. I currently work out of peoples homes and have a very balanced, flexible schedule. I am available 7 days a week and in MOST instances can help you out last minute. I ask that you be courteous with any cancellations, while I know things come up please do not take advantage. Unfortunately at this time I do not have a fenced in yard. I do however go on daily hikes (weather permitting) with my dog, and clients dogs. If you would like your furry friend to join us it will be our pleasure. If you would like you dog to go to a specific park or place that you would like them to go, again I would gladly take them there. If you are more comfortable with your pets staying at home I will care for them in their surroundings. It’s up to you and what both the human and dog are comfortable with. At this time I am flexible and open to work with your schedule. Reach out to see if we can work together to ensure your pet has the right company while you’re away or busy. I’m i a house on 15 acres with a nice creek on the property. Plenty of room for the pups to stretch their legs and enjoy our walks. I have ample time to walk, play, and love on your fur babies. Just let me know what their daily routine is and I will stick to it… while adding in a little extra fun. I care for your pets as if they are my own. If there are special instructions you have I will follow those as to not disrup your pups routine.

“Raelin was very responsive by text message and through the app. I appreciated her flexibility with me. We requested to change our plans while my dog was in her care and she was very accommodating. She was a huge help and my family was able to enjoy a short trip to Vero Beach over a long weekend, thanks to her services. We will definitely seek her out again next time we stay in Vero Beach.”

I usually respond fairly quick. My dogs will absolutely welcome your dogs into their pack. J H We live in a house in the Vero Beach with a nice fully fenced in yard.

“We drove to the area from North Carolina, needed a last-minute sitter for my dog and Ava was happy to oblige! She was very communicative, responded quickly, and was very open to my novel about my dog for a three hour stay! My girl has separation anxiety to the max and WAs extremely comfortable with Ava and her pups immediately! She was thoroughly tired after pickup, which was amazing after a 10 hour drive! We will be here for a week and plan on using her a few more times during our visit! She gave updates, and took great care of my girl!”
“Upon meeting Dee, it was like visiting with and old friend. She was very friendly, super relaxed and extremely welcoming to humans and dogs alike. Our very skittish fur baby made himself right at home from the moment we walked in the door. It was obvious to us that he could sense her relaxed and easy going demeanor. The photos that she sent during his visit, showed just how relaxed he was. We will definitely use Dee’s services again and highly recommend her.”

About: I grew up with 3 dogs and 3 cats in my childhood home. I have one old boy left from then, and I still help out in his senior years. I have groomed those three at home, and since moving into my own house, I dog sit small-large sized dogs, both in my own home and in clients homes. I regularly brush the dog’s teeth, trim nails, bathe, and brush their overcoat. I also take care of the grooming for my own two cats. I’ve grown up around all different types of animals, so I’m ready for any specific needs your pets have. I’m currently unemployed and dog sitting to make money, so I am free at all times of the day and night to care for your pets. I do not have a fenced in yard, but that’s no problem because I do not mind a little outside time to take them outside on the leash. I have a park down the street that I walk the dogs to so they can sniff around and stretch their legs. I can also do any extra food care, brushing, bathing, medication, or any needs you have from me. I can fit a crate if needed, but I don’t require any kind of crate.

About: My dog means the world to me, and I will care for yours in the same way! I am Miguel, and have been a pet lover all my life. I have a lot of experience owning and caring for dogs and cats, and other types of animals of friends, neighbors and family. I am open to caring for your pet, whether dog or lizard, meanwhile you are away from home. I grew up with a dog and 2 cats since I was 7 years old, and ever since then my passion in caring for animals intensified. Through my job experiences involving animals I have acquired a range of skills that allow me to take care each pet in its own specific way. I have a loving girlfriend and dog of my own, her name is Ellie. She is quite precious.. super loving, funny and LOVES to have other animals over. My partner loves animals as well, so she is more than open to take in your pet. Most of my days are free, and my others are spent flying (I am a pilot!), but your pet will have my complete attention while with me! . I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, day care, and boarding and more! I am currently in aviation school part time. Most of my days are free, that includes week days and weekends. My time away is usually no more than 2-4 hours.. time that are spent flying. I am flexible and willing to accommodate. My house is spacious. I have an opened back yard that's blocked off my trees, where I let my pet and others play. Plenty of toys and treats for your dog to enjoy. I stay active, taking multiple walks a day. I live close to a fenced play area where I take my dog during play time, your pets will love exploring. Responsibility is important to me and I’m going to make sure your loved one is cared for, which is why I make sure I treat your pet in its own way.
“Stephanie was very gentle with my dog Wren and sensitive to the fact that he might be scared at being separated from me with new people for the first time (he's a "velcro" dog). Although her yard is not fenced in, and no other dogs were in the house that day, I was pleased that she took Wren for a walk in the park across the street from her house, and let him play with some other dogs that were there at the time. She sent me photos of Wren during the day, and from her messages I could tell that she was interacting with him. Wren came home tired and clean (the latter being an issue when I've taken him to commercial doggie daycare businesses.) I will definitely call upon Stephanie the next time I need her service.”
About: I love animals because they bring out the softest part of me. There’s something pure about the way they trust, the way they communicate without words, and the way each one has its own little personality. Being around them makes me feel calm and connected, and I always feel a responsibility to protect them and treat them with kindness. They’re a reminder of what unconditional care looks like. My primary job will be your pet and taking care of them when you are away. I may have a few others at the same time but never too many to take the best care provided by you and your pets schedule. Caring for pets means meeting their physical needs with proper food, water, exercise, and vet care, while also giving them emotional support through patience, affection, and consistent routines. It’s about creating a safe environment, understanding their behavior, and paying attention to their individual needs so they feel healthy, secure, and loved.
About: My best friends have always been my animals. I was lucky enough to be raised around horses, cows, donkeys, goats, dogs, and of course cats. I have a large ranch style property where we go for walks throughout the day. An initial meet and greet is appreciated so your kids know me and realize they are safe and one of your dirty shirts is always appreciated so they have your scent. I'm also licensed and insured. I'm a homebody and have a ranch style property. I'm up before the sun and start the day. The "kids" are fed and walked first thing and then we go for walks through the day. Its good exercise for all of us... and they can watch the horses. They live in the home like it's their own. I've been told they get excited when they know their mom and dad are dropping them off. I watch how they react and me and the kids go from there. The property is very large. I even have a fake fire hydrant in the back yard (which is pretty cute).The neighbors horses are always fun to watch and pet in the morning. It's very calm here.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Gifford
“Bunny is reliable, responsible and communicates with short notice. She’s great with dogs and keeps me updated with info and pictures of their walks. I can highly recommend her services.”
“We are very happy with Mia! She was punctual and pleasant at our meet-and-greet. She took our dog for two walks at the times requested and fed her. I felt like we left Pepper in good hands. I recommend her, and will definitely hire her again.”
“Maria is wonderful and so personable!!! Bella loved her right away and that brought so much comfort to us! Maria kept us informed everyday including a photo. We highly recommend Maria and definitely will request her in the future!”
“Kathleen has been a lifesaver, stepped in at the very last minute after I began fostering a dog and needed coverage for a long work day 2x a week. Raider obviously adores her and she is prompt, thorough and very loving with Raider. I also scheduled an extra visit when I had an unexpected meeting and she was able and willing! She has had to roll with some issues as he is a new foster, out of shelter for 6 months and we are just getting a routine down. Thank you Kathleen!”
“Melissa has been so good to myself & my new little puppy, Bear! She is very flexible and communicates well- not only with updates (pictures & messages), but she is also able to provide input with any questions I may have. She is always attentive to Bear’s needs, and goes out of her way to spend the extra time with him that a puppy needs. She has made this experience easy and comfortable, so I have no worries leaving my puppy in her care. I would recommend Melissa over and over again!”
About: I grew up around horses and dogs, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I now balance a desk-based career with pet sitting and dog walking, which is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I’ve cared for dogs with a range of personalities and routines, and I aim to make the experience easy and stress-free for both you and your pet. When I lived in Colorado, I went through extensive training with my own dog, which gave me a strong foundation in structure, consistency, and reading behavior. I now have the best boy, Scruff, and I bring that same level of care and awareness to every dog I work with. What I Provide: * Reliable, consistent care! * Walks and visits tailored to your dog’s energy level and routine. * Updates and photos so you always know how things are going. * Careful attention to behavior, mood, and any changes. * Respectful, clean care in your home and for your pet’s space. * Happy follow detailed instructions, routines, and preferences. * Will adapt to your dog’s positive and negative markers and work with cues that are already familiar to your family. What Sets Me Apart: * Lifelong experience with a variety of pets with a strong instinct for animal behavior. * Hands-on training experience, with a focus on structure and consistency. * Experience caring for a senior dog, so I understand patience, routine, and trust. * Calm, observant approach that works well for both energetic and more sensitive dogs. * Clear, consistent communication so you feel confident while you’re away. I’m very selective about who cares for my own dog, Scruff, and hold myself to that same standard! I’m always happy to do a meet and greet to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone! I currently work part-time, which allows me to maintain a flexible and dependable schedule for pet care. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, and I prioritize consistency for pets who thrive on routine. Because I have control over my day-to-day schedule, I’m intentional about the bookings I take on to ensure each pet receives reliable, attentive care. This also allows me to be responsive and flexible when needs shift or plans change. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure your pet feels comfortable in their environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to your routines and instructions so things feel as normal and stress-free as possible, whether that’s feeding, walks, or any specific preferences your dog is used to. I’m mindful of the details that matter, like secure leashing, safe entry and exit, and leaving your home exactly as I found it. I also keep a close eye on behavior and energy levels, and I’ll communicate anything notable so you’re never left wondering how things are going. If caring for a pet in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and structured environment where pets can settle in comfortably. My dog, Scruff, is well-trained, and I ensure any interactions are safe, gradual, and a good fit for both dogs, though I don’t do introductions without pet parents first! At the end of the day, I understand how much trust this takes. I treat every pet and home with the same level of care and respect that I expect for my own.
About: I really enjoy being outdoors and walking my dogs regularly, since I was able to take a few steps I've enjoyed walking dogs. I have always felt I have a good connection with animals in general (except spiders). I understand you must be patient when taking dogs for a walk as some dogs may be older and have different needs. I've had dogs as small as chihuahuas to yellow labs. I volunteer at animal services and Born Free animal shelter when I can. I really care about the well being of dogs and their happiness. I can bring treats on our walk or any toy they enjoy. I am very athletic so I have no problem running with the dog(s) either. I understand the importance of being able to trust that your animals are in safe hands♥️ I teach at a local elementary school so afternoons work best for me! I’m available any time of day on the weekends. My husband is home during the day and is able to help out as well if your baby is at our house The safety of your pet and of mine are my number one priority. If I’m taking care of your baby at my house, The animals will not ever be left alone, especially if it’s a new introduction. And if I’m coming to you, any and all detailed directions are very much appreciated.
About: I have experience from my own pets throughout the years and being a vet tech for 7+ years. I have experience with cats and dogs. I can take care of them young or old. Just let me know your routines and i will try to fill the void while you are gone. I work at an animal hospital during the day so I can stop in before work, on my lunch break and after work, whichever you prefer. Im not offering home services at the moment, but if you would like me to stop in and make sure your pet has the best care. Also if medications are needed to be given, please let me know. I can do so and also make sure no love is lost when you are gone. I love animals and its one of the reasons why I got into the Vet field.
About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I love. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities and understand that every pet has unique needs. Whether it’s keeping up with an active pup, sticking to a feeding routine, or offering extra cuddles and reassurance, I’m dedicated to providing dependable, loving care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so incorporating walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of love and attention into my day comes easily. I have a full-time job but allows rushes home to provide dependable care and make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any medications or special needs. I also make sure pets receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship while their owners are away. My goal is to keep pets happy, safe, and stress-free while giving pet parents peace of mind through regular updates and photos.
About: I have had hands on experience working as an animal assistant. I worked along side the veterinarian and other staff. I have also grown up with a pet (dog) in my family so I understand how important it is to make sure they are well taken care of with food, water or walks and play time. I am very dedicated and enjoy spending time and taking care of pets. I have a very flexible schedule and can often accommodate bookings with short notice. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet care visits, with flexibility for mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I understand plans can change and always do my best to work with pet parents’ schedules and their pets’ needs. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. While I provide care in clients’ homes, I make sure pets stay in a familiar and secure environment where they feel comfortable. I follow owners’ instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, medications, routines, walks, and any special care needs. I believe communication is important and want pet parents to feel confident knowing their pets are receiving loving and attentive care.
“Judy is the best! I had hip surgery & needed someone to walk my dog Roxy. On very short notice, I sent a request to Judy on Rover & she quickly responded that she could help me out. She came the next day & when Roxy & I met her, you could just tell how much Judy truly loves dogs! She got down on the ground & Roxy was all over her with kisses. I always said that dogs know what people are genuine dog lovers & who are not. Roxy knew right away that Judy was the walker for her. I totally agree! Judy’s been walking Roxy for over 2 weeks now…she is always on time & is constantly in contact with me. I highly recommend her!”

About: I grew up with 3 dogs and 3 cats in my childhood home. I have one old boy left from then, and I still help out in his senior years. I have groomed those three at home, and since moving into my own house, I dog sit small-large sized dogs, both in my own home and in clients homes. I regularly brush the dog’s teeth, trim nails, bathe, and brush their overcoat. I also take care of the grooming for my own two cats. I’ve grown up around all different types of animals, so I’m ready for any specific needs your pets have. I’m currently unemployed and dog sitting to make money, so I am free at all times of the day and night to care for your pets. I do not have a fenced in yard, but that’s no problem because I do not mind a little outside time to take them outside on the leash. I have a park down the street that I walk the dogs to so they can sniff around and stretch their legs. I can also do any extra food care, brushing, bathing, medication, or any needs you have from me. I can fit a crate if needed, but I don’t require any kind of crate.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm, I cared for everything from small livestock to beloved family pets, giving me hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and personalities. Over the years, I've cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, pot-bellied pigs, sheep, goats, horses, donkeys, cows, reptiles, and amphibians. Most recently, I've provided care for senior dogs and understand the extra patience, compassion, and attention they need as they age. My diverse background allows me to confidently care for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and life stages. Pet care fits well into my current routine. I'm currently attending school to become an airline pilot, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. For house sitting and overnight stays, some advance coordination may be needed since I'm a single dad. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and accommodating whenever possible. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, I treat your animals, property, and routines with the utmost respect. I take the time to learn each pet's unique needs, maintain consistent routines, and provide attentive care to help them feel secure and happy. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind, knowing their furry family members are being cared for with kindness, dignity, and genuine affection.

“My dog’s home away from home, she absolutely loves being at Hailey and Will’s. I am never worried about her while she is there, I know they treat her as their own. She comes home wiped out from playing with their dogs which means I still get a little break when I get home.”

“Very kind, loved the picture updates, and my dog was very well cared for. It was so nice to be able to enjoy my trip without having to worry about my dog because I knew he was being taken well cared of. Thank you!”
“Jorge provided truly outstanding pet sitting service! From the moment he stepped in, my pets were not only well cared for—they were genuinely happy and comfortable. It was clear they felt safe and loved, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Communication with Jorge was amazing. He kept me updated regularly with photos and thoughtful messages, and was always quick to respond to any questions. His professionalism and warmth made the entire experience seamless. I would definitely recommend choosing Jorge for your pet sitting needs. He goes above and beyond, and your pets will thank you for it!”
“Joe is a great sitter and I knew Willa was in good hands. House and backyard set up is perfect to make the stay feel like home. The videos throughout the stay were great and reassuring. We and she will be back! Thanks.”
“Billy Boy and our family couldn't be more blessed to find Sonia. She is truly God sent. Previously we were boarding Billy which were AWFUL experiences, no updates nor feedback after pickup. Billy had stress colitis for days after. We knew boarding was not an option and then heard about Rover. We requested for a meet up. A first meeting Sonia, we knew Billy would be comfortable and enjoy his time away from us. It was like going to an auntie's house. Sonia kept us posted with pictures and updates on his feeding / potty routines. Billy's loves playing and running so Sonia sent us notes about their walks and how he was getting along with the other puppies. During down time we could just see Billy feeling at home. Sonia sent many pictures of nap time on the couch and best of all bedtime with Sonia. Yes, Billy's a very spoiled son, yet Sonia accommodated when we told her Billy sleeps with us in bed. We know Billy definitely be well cared for his next visit. Praying it will be with Sonia , she is an amazing and compassionate young woman. If we could, we would rate 100 out of 5 stars! Thank you so much Sonia!!!”

“Mia came through in a pinch for us and was an excellent choice to watch our mid-sized dog. She happily accepted boarding of Tilly on short notice over a holiday period. She asked questions about Tilly’s needs, sent photos daily, was very prompt in her communication and very prepared for both dropoff and final pickup. Thx Mia - we will be in touch again!”
“First of all, Michael took our dog on a last second request, which by itself was already great. Everything went smoothly, great communication, and our dog had a great time. We couldn't be happier about the experience and treatment from Michael.”
“Beatriz did a great job with Zoey! The daily pictures of trips to the dog park, the beach, and everywhere else were great! This was my first time using Rover and as soon as I met Beatriz, it removed all stress/anxiety and I knew Zoey was in good hands. Would definitely recommend Beatriz to anyone and would love to use her again in the future.”
