“JyZaree did a wonderful job watching my German Shepherd while I was on vacation. He enjoyed playing with her dogs and having her fenced yard to run freely in. She sent me daily updates with pictures of how he was doing. I highly recommend and will be using JyZaree again in the future.”

About: Hello! I’m Mileydi, I have spent more than 11 years caring for pets of all sizes and needs. Over the years, I have looked after many wonderful animals, which has given me a deep understanding of pet behavior and specialized care.I am highly experienced in managing diabetic dogs, meaning I am fully comfortable performing glucometry checks and administering daily insulin shots. I know how stressful it can be to leave a pet who needs medical attention, so my goal is to provide total peace of mind. I closely follow all routines and will keep you updated with photos every single day! As an independent gig worker, my schedule is highly flexible. I can easily plan my delivery hours around my pet-sitting bookings, ensuring I am always available for feeding times, scheduled walks, and plenty of play or companionship throughout the day. Safety is my top priority. I carefully follow all specific care, feeding, and household guidelines provided by owners. I maintain a clean, secure environment, double-check all entryways, and ensure your pets are safe, comfortable, and never left unattended for extended periods

“Mallory was amazing with our cat. She checked in on him to feed him and clean the litter box daily. He was hospitalized for a urinary blockage previously so we have to keep a close eye on him to make sure he's eating his prescription diet and urinating regularly. It was such a relief to have someone we could depend on while we were gone. She kept us updated the whole trip and sent us tons of pictures.”

“Kyla was wonderful with our 2 cats. Her time was flexible and she was easy to book with over Christmas. During our initial meet and greet, the natural way she interacted with both Magik and Spooky, learning her history with animals, and her authenticity put my nerves at ease. During our time away, Kyla kept us up to date on her visits, how our cats were doing and included pictures. When we returned home, both cats were happy doing great. Kyla will be our go to anytime we are away.”

About: have extensive experience caring for cats and understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I have cared for cats from kitten age through adulthood, including feeding, litter box care, playtime, socialization, and monitoring changes in behavior or health. I’m patient with shy cats and know that some cats need time and a calm approach before they feel comfortable. I enjoy providing companionship, keeping their routine consistent, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I’m also comfortable following detailed instructions for feeding schedules, special routines, and medication needs when requested.

I have a fenced in yard with two dogs of my own to keep your fur babies happy. My dogs love playing with other dogs, we used to take them to the dog park (when we lived in Arizona) twice a week.

About: I've worked with dogs for 7 years now. Helping family and friends with pet care and training as well as eventually branching out to occasionally taking dog training clients. I am currently studying with the International School of Canine Psychology and would love to make dog training and walking a full time business. I foster as well! I am currently studying with the ISCP and taking on private clients so I will be available friday, saturday, and sundays after 11am! In the near future, there will be more days available for services. As a walker, I ensure your dogs safety through gear checks to ensure harnesses or collars fit properly and to make sure the leash is properly attached. I also am very diligent and observant of my surroundings when I'm out with my personal dogs and client dogs. Safety is key! I will also bring a small backpack with water, a collapsible bowl, waste bags, and a small emergency first aid kit for dogs.

“Xinia kindly came to the house a few days ahead of time to introduce herself to the hounds before our scheduled appointment. Xinia came to my home to let the dogs out for a potty break and to burn off a little energy on a day I had to leave for an extended period of time. She made certain they had water and sent pictures of her time with my hounds. I will definitely reserve with Xinia in the future!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized care for each pup I look after. I take the time to get to know your dog’s unique needs, routines, and quirks, ensuring they feel right at home. I offer regular photo and video updates, so you never have to worry about how your pet is doing while you’re away. With a safe, cozy home and a focus on fun and comfort, your dog will feel like part of the family. Whether it’s a walk, a play session, or snuggle time, I tailor everything to your pet’s preferences! I am working from home and part time, so my schedule is flexible as I make my own schedule. I will tailor my schedule to yours. In My Home: I offer a safe, cozy environment with plenty of space for your pet to feel comfortable. While my large yard isn’t fenced in, I ensure that outdoor time is always supervised and safe. Inside, my two shy cats provide gentle company for pets who enjoy calm, quiet companionship. I offer a relaxed and secure atmosphere where pets can roam freely, rest, or have quiet time as they need. I also provide lots of space for your pet to retreat to if they prefer solitude. Whether it’s a play session, a nap in a cozy spot, or simply some peaceful downtime, your pet will always feel at ease. In Your Home: When I care for your pet in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their routine and comfort. I offer drop-in visits to feed, play, and clean up, or take your dog for a walk to ensure they get the exercise and fresh air they need. I understand the importance of a pet’s familiar surroundings, so I make sure they feel safe and secure in their own space. Whether it’s a walk, a play session, or just some cuddle time, I’m here to provide the attention your pet needs while keeping you updated with photos and messages.

About: I am passionate about my love for animals and enjoy meeting as many as I can. As someone with several pets myself I understand it can be difficult to find care that is both reliable and affordable, so I am priced to accommodate multi-pet families. No matter how many pets you have or what kind, I will care for them like they’re my own. Refer a friend (have them mention your name when booking with me) and you’ll each get $10 off your next visit. I work night shifts from home, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I spend a lot of time with my own pets and there is never a dull moment, they keep me entertained. I am almost always fostering cats/kittens, which unfortunately does make me unable to provide care in my own home at this time. I’m a big fan of the Buddy System and bring my partner with me to all new client meet & greets as a safety precaution. Jakob is a Rover-verified sitter and animal lover. He’ll give your pets extra attention while he gives me peace of mind. As far as the pets themselves are concerned, every animal I’ve ever met has had their own unique personality with unique needs. Please let me know ahead of time if there are any specific safety concerns you know of so I can tailor my care to whatever will be best for your pet(s).
