About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every dog as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a different personality, comfort level, and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I adapt to their needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m dependable, attentive, communicative, and genuinely enjoy being around dogs. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, walks, routines, administering basic medications if needed, and providing updates/photos so you feel at ease while away. My goal is to create a warm, low-stress environment where your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and happy — not just watched. It would truly be an honor to care for your dog and give them the same love and attention every pet deserves. Daily and evening care including walks, feedings, playmate, bath time and bed time with any other activities including the dog park when availabe based on weathe. Pets are free to roam while I am home and crated when I need to run errands. They are treated like the rest of the family.
“Baily did an outstanding job taking care of our little Greta (6 years old pug/boston terrier mix rescue). She kept us updated on Greta's stay with her and it was obvious from the updates and accompanying photos that Greta was feeling right at home and being showered with affection by Baily.”
“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter or boarder for our dog. And that means a lot because we are very picky when it comes to our dog. Kind, thorough, responsive, and actually cares about our dog!”
“Best dog sitter Rylee (my dog) and I have ever had. It’s her home away from home. She comes home happy, healthy, and super sleepy from all the play. We are so lucky to have found this beautiful family. Thank you!!!!”
“Kandyce was great with our dog and with us! She kept in touch and was responsive, while also being patient with our dog's idiosyncrasies. The dog loved playing with Kandyce's dogs, too. Highly recommend!”
“Barbara had great communication and provided pics and updates. I appreciated that she provided my pup with lots of activity and our dog was pooped when she got home!”
“Wonderful experience. I got pictures and updates everyday. My little guy had so much fun he loved his time there and made new friends. So much so that the day he went back home he was a little sad. He missed his new buddies. Definitely would recommend and will be a repeat customer.”
“Shirley was absolutely amazing with our older pup! He had an amazing time. Shirley went above and beyond to make sure our pups needs were met and that he was happy. She sent pictures and videos and gave us updates regularly. Shirley was the best! Would use her again and would definitely recommend her to others!”
“Maria is the absolute best! We have worked with Maria a few times and she is our favorite resource for boarding. She is outstanding with our 2 dogs. One of my boys is a senior and requires gentle care. Maria goes above and beyond to meet the needs of my boy. She is so communicative and cordial. Truly the gold standard!”
“Tamara is amazing! She picked up Luna for us and even dropped her off before we came back from out of town. Luna had an amazing time playing with Tamara dogs. She has a huge backyard for dogs to play and she loves Luna like she is her own. She even left us some treats for Luna. I recommend Tamara for any services with your fur babies.”
“Katarina was so patient with Luna and I appreciated the whole process from the intro to the pick up!! She made me and Luna feel extremely welcomed and shared plenty of pictures. I would absolutely use her again and would recommend! 10 out of 10, no notes!”
“Lorraine took great care of Pucci! She is welcoming and very attentive to his needs, as well as having a nice yard for some outside time. We received frequent photos as always feel assured that he is in great hands when we are out of town :)”
“Great experience with Kyla, it was my first time using the service for my Teddy and I was really nervous to not have him with family who normally watch him and since my daughter was moving same weekend(who normally has watched him) I said let me read reviews and go with it. Kyla kept me informed on Teddy’s progress with pictures and videos and my boy seemed happy to be there. I will use again in future for upcoming trips.”
“OMG!!! Connie was the best -mom away from home- I could ask for!!! Juiji and Jojo were so cute. Connie made sure Juiji was comfortable and that I was sure she was safe, behaving, and co-mingling. Her photos of Juiji should be in a doggy magazine! I could not have asked for a better -mom away from home- and she's the best and she's around the corner from me. So grateful for her!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND CONNIE?♥️??”
“Tanqueray was phenomenal with my sweet but anxious older little guy. She took his unique needs into consideration as she thoughtfully planned his stay. He was comfortable and happy, which I knew because he doesn’t usually go up to sitters to say bye when I pick him up. But he did this with her. He made new doggy friends on his walks (which he’s also not always up to) and he and Sir, a sweet little guy, got along wonderfully. I’m grateful for Tanqueray and the loving care she took of my pup.”
“Susan kept me updated throughout the day by sending me pictures/videos and updates on my puppies. Susan has been very patient and flexible for my pickup/drop off time, she has also readjusted some fees to help me book her services. I highly recommend and I would use her services again.”
“Michelle is a LIFE SAVER! After Elmhurst Animal Hospital wrongfully canceled my boarding reservations at the last minute, I scrambled to find someone to watch my 3 small dogs. I found Michelle and she was quick to respond and accept my fur babies for the stay! Michelle and her 2 little girls took AMAZING care of them, sending update reports and pics too. This gave me peace of mind that they were being well cared for! Michelle was also very accommodating when I needed to drop them off early than originally scheduled. I will definitely be utilizing Michelle's services again in the future!”
“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”
“Janeth is great at keeping in touch. She sent me pictures and videos of how my dog was doing frequently. She was a great communicator and pleasant to talk with. I would recommend her to anyone who needs their dog taken care of.”
“Charise was amazing with our dog Zoe! Zoe came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Charise kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took Zoe on walks, car rides, and let her play in the yard with her sweet dog Navi. You could tell Zoe was getting lots of attention and love the entire time. We also really appreciated that Charise dropped Zoe off at home for us. Highly recommend Charise if you are looking for someone caring, reliable, and attentive to watch your fur baby!”

“Absolutely amazing pet sitter! I had to book last minute and extend with an additional visit - she was super accommodating. Sent lots of updates, photos, and actually interacted with my cats. My babies loved her and will definitely re-book in the future. 🐾”
“Grace did a wonderful job caring for my two kitties while I was away - she kept me updated about my older cat's intermittent appetite and always send cute pictures. My shy older cat trusted her right away.”
“Sofia is very organized, detailed and patient. She always communicates and sends lots of pictures. I feel much better knowing my three cats are in good hands with her.”
About: Cats have always been a part of my life, and I’ve cared for them from kittenhood through their senior years. Living with cats has taught me how to understand their unique personalities, respect their boundaries, and earn their trust. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and independent, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they need while maintaining their normal routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats and will treat your furry family member with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own.
“Megan was so communicative and lovely with our 2 cats! She handled medication no problem, and even stayed longer the first visit to ensure that the cat who needed medication would be comfortable enough with her to take his meds no problem. We're so grateful for the good care Megan took and will absolutely rebook with her in the future.”
“Have booked Natalia twice so far and plan to rebook later this year! She is very communicative and kind, open to suggestions and truly cares for my cat :) so grateful for her as with my first booking my flight was canceled but Natalia was quick to propose additional drop in times! Thank you!!!”
“Brittney is wonderful!! Takes great care of all three of my kitties😻 Would absolutely recommend her if you need someone to take excellent care of your fur babies.”
“Zulema takes the best pictures! Loved all the updates and she made sure our kitties were good to go every time she left! I definitely recommend her and will definitely keep booking her for the future!”
“Jessica is SO GOOD with our kitty! Coraline is a lover and tends to get separation anxiety when we’re gone for an extended period of time. We feel much better knowing Jessica is checking in, taking care of, and playing playing with her. And Jessica always sends fantastic photos!”
“Kimberly takes such good care of our elderly cat! She is so good with administering medication, paying attention to her health and symptoms, and communicating with us. We always feel comforted knowing that Kimberly is taking care of our fur baby.”
“Alonso was great and friendly! He came and met our pups before the drop-in to get acquainted with them and their routine. He was on the and sent photos to give us happy updates. We plan on continuing to have him help take care of our pups.”
“Max was very helpful when I booked him last minute. He was on time for all of his visits, took great photos of our elderly dog and was extremely gently and kind. He definitely has a special touch for animals!”

“Luisa helps us to feel like our Murphy is safe and cared for while we are at work. She’s great at updating pictures throughout the day and he LOVES it there. They even let him borrow a toy to keep until next daycare. The best!”
“Karen takes such great care of my baby. She is so kind, loving, attentive. I really appreciate her excellent communication, frequent updates, and professionalism. We can’t wait to see her again!”
About: We are the proud owners of an adorable dog (Ace) and are adept with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Everyone in the house (Micah and I) work from home full-time, so the dogs will never be left alone. Ace is always great host and will have a lot of fun with his new furry friend 😊 Ace (a miniature poodle / Bishon mix) can mingle with any visitors but can be separated upon request. Please bring dog beds and food. We can’t wait to host your little friend! We work from home full time and plenty the time to dedicate to watching and playing with the pups! Morning walks, afternoon potty breaks, whatever the dogs needs are will be met. Fenced in backyard and large park across the street for long walks. Perfect environment for your dogs staycation! As a proud dog owner ourselves, the pups are never far from our minds and will get plenty of attention…maybe too much lol
About: I have raised and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, all sizes and ages, several with serious medical needs. As a child, my family bred and raised Irish Setters and kept any pup that was not 100% healthy for adoption. Therefore I have experience with all aspects of pet care and I have raised my kids to do the same. We are Tara (49yr), Jaden (15yr) and Alia (12yr) and have been dog sitting for friends and family for years and really enjoy hosting pups to play with and pamper on the weekends since unfortunately we are not home enough during the week to provide adequate care and attention to a full time pup. Our three kitties are very accustomed to dogs but we have plenty of room to separate them if they overstimulate your doggy. Our three level home, plus large back yard, will give your pup plenty of room to play inside and out! We typically run and play in the backyard during potty breaks and go out for several walks a day. The yard is only 90% fenced so I have several 50ft leashes around the yard to provide the illusion of freedom while maintaining safety. If your pup is high energy, they can also play with the neighbor’s dogs or we can take a trip to the dog park so they can socialize and run with other pups. I assure you they will get lots of cuddles and attention and I will send photos and vids of your pup to you throughout their stay! I am available for boarding in my home on the weekends, beginning Friday evening through Monday morning. I can also board at your home from Saturday morning through Sunday evening. I will treat your pet like a member of the family! If they get muddy in the backyard I have no problem giving them a bath and brushing them. They are welcome on the furniture and will not be left alone while they are in my care.
“My dog Coco had a wonderful time with Emily and Amy and their dog, Pepperoni 🌶. I would certainly recommend Emily to anyone needing doggy day care. And I will certainly bring Coco again.”
“Dayana is always so quick to respond to bookings, despite last minute requests. She is always keeping me updated throughout using video. Kitty loves going over because there is usually others dog she can play with. So happy we found Dayana!”
“I can’t recommend Mary enough! She stepped in last minute to take care of our pup, Monty, for a full day, and we couldn’t be more grateful. From the moment we met her, she was welcoming and friendly, giving us a tour of her lovely home, which put us at ease knowing Monty would be well cared for. Mary took Monty out for a walk, fed him, and even has grassy areas in her backyard for him to enjoy. She kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages, which we really appreciated. It was clear he was having a great time! If you’re looking for someone to care for your pup, look no further than Mary. She truly is fantastic!”

“Angelina has been amazing! Our boy is so happy and Angelina is so communicative throughout the day, and has made this process so easy. I was definitely a little anxious about Opie going to a new daycare but Angelina has relieved all of that worry. We will definitely be using her in the future!”

“Jessica is wonderful! She has been very patient with our young, energetic (and sometimes poorly behaved) pit bull. She also has been patient with me, my husband, and our frequently changing schedule. Thank you for being so great and dependable!”
“Tamara is amazing. Our dog Luna loves her walks with her. We know she is in good hands. I would recommend Tamara to anyone that has a dog and wants to know your baby is taking care of.”
“I am so happy to be able to rely on the fact that James is extremely punctual. He is here every morning at the designated time. He has been patient with my small dog, who has a preference for women and has had to grow accustomed to a male dog walker. James has given him space and encouragement.”
“Natalia walks both our dogs and she's great with them. They're so excited to see her and she's so courteous when coming to the house or bringing them home. We will continue to have her walk our very energetic pup and older gentlemen for weekly walks and have no reservations about fully recommending her.”

About: I have taken care of dogs for most of my life! I had a puppy as a young girl, and cared for her through her old age. I also have extensive pet sitting experience, and have watched 5 dogs simultaneously. I have a very caring personality and would love to care for your fur babies! When it comes to cats, I have about 12 years of experience. I have taken care of numerous outdoor stray cats, and have rehomed many of them, including taking two into my own home. I am self employed (jewelry artist!) so I have plenty of time to check in with your pets, walk/play etc. I am available anytime during the week (M-F) and usually on the weekends as well. I currently live in a small apartment, and would need to come by you. I am excellent at following directions, and will cater to you and your pets needs.
About: Hello! I’m Ellie, and I would be thrilled to be your go-to pet sitter while away. I have a super sweet dog named Frankie, who’s not just my furry companion but also my best buddy. Frankie has a playful spirit and loves to run around and play at the dog park, but she also knows how to relax and enjoy some quality couch time, so I always aim to provide a good balance of play/enrichment time and resting. Our daily routine includes long walks where we explore the neighbourhood and visit the dog park every day, ensuring plenty of exercise and socialization. I love getting outside and enjoying the fresh air, and I can’t wait to share that experience with your pup. I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule. This means I can give your dog the attention they need, whether it's playtime, walks, or just some gentle cuddles. My primary goal is to ensure your furry friend feels safe, secure and loved while they’re in my care. I believe that open communication is key, so you can expect regular updates and photos to keep you connected with your dog while you’re away. I’m excited to create a nurturing and fun environment for your dog. Let’s connect and see how I can help make your pet’s time with me enjoyable and stress-free! I work from home and care for my dog Frankie so I am home most of the time to care for your pup. The most I might be gone is a couple hours at a time to run errands and if I do have to go out I make sure your pup is well exercised, tired and ready for a nap. I live in a very spacious apartment within walking distance of multiple parks and walking trails. While in the home I can set up separate areas for your pet to make them feel secure and at home or let them have free rein of the apartment (whatever works best for your pet's needs). I take pride in giving my dog the best life possible and would extend that sentiment to any dog in my care. Throughout the day I offer tons of attention, treats and playtime and regular pictures and updates to give you peace of mind while you are away!.
About: Experienced, Thoughtful Care for Dogs of All Sizes With 15+ years of experience caring for dogs and two lovable and furry 85 pound dogs of my own, I’m very comfortable with all from active large breed to gentle senior companions. I’ve also spent years caring for small dogs (including pups around 10 pounds), so I’m used to adjusting walks, playtime, and care to fit each dog’s size, personality, and pace. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality, whether they’re the adventurous “let’s walk forever” type, the neighborhood squirrel patrol officer, or the happy couch companion who prefers a slower stroll and extra belly rubs. I take pet care seriously and prioritize routine, safety, and consistency. I always double check collars and harnesses before walks, follow feeding schedules carefully, and make sure each dog feels comfortable and secure in their environment. My goal is to keep your dog’s day feeling as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet owners, so I’m happy to provide photo and message updates during walks or visits so you know your dog is happy and well cared for. Services I Offer • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • Overnight pet sitting • Feeding and medication administration if needed • Playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection I treat every dog I care for as if they were part of my own family. Trust is incredibly important when it comes to your pets, and I’d love the chance to meet you and your dog to make sure it’s the right fit. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. I currently care for two large dogs of my own, so regular walks, feeding schedules, and outdoor time are built into my day. Because of that, adding walks or visits for other dogs fits seamlessly into my schedule. As a student, my schedule varies slightly week to week, but it also provides flexibility that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on what works best for each dog’s routine. I’m very intentional about planning my day so that pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and care. I understand how important routine and reliability are for both dogs and their owners, so I always make sure feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions are followed closely. My goal is to provide dependable care that keeps your dog comfortable and happy while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. Dogs tend to feel most relaxed in their own environment, so I make sure to follow their normal schedule for walks, feeding, playtime, and rest. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and energy level whether they prefer an active walk, playtime, or a slower pace with plenty of affection. I always make sure fresh water is available, feeding instructions are followed carefully, and collars or harnesses are secure before walks. I also understand how important trust is when someone is entering your home to care for your pet. I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would my own, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so owners know their dog is happy and well cared for. My goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.
About: I may not have grew up having any pets, but everyone has always relied on me to take care of theirs and show them love I'm looking for any side jobs to fill my schedule during the summer and I'm available everyday except Sunday. I'll work anytime that is fit for you I have always cared of every pet I've come across and working with any accomodations that is needed for the well being of the pet
“Angelina is fantastic with Griffey! She is super communicative, punctual, and makes me feel at ease knowing he is in good hands. Love the updates and photos too; it’s clear she really cares. Highly recommend!!”
About: I am a human nurse and have a dog with hemiplegia, so I am well-versed in bladder expression and monitoring for injury. Having 3 special needs pets, means I know how to administer oral medication, eyedrops, injections, and topicals I am not an early riser so if you have a late night out, midnight is not a problem! My availability varies upon my work schedule. I will follow the instructions the pawrents have left. Give all the scritches and love your pet deserves and is accustomed to with photos updates and video
About: UPDATE JULY 2024, PLEASE READ: If you see that my reply time is incredibly slow, it's because my account was inactive for a while due to my dad being hospitalized. I had to help care for him for a long period of time and I was unable to reply to any messages on Rover. My dad is okay now and I am available for walks and sitting again. I was a dog groomer for almost 2 years. I'm well-trained in animal safety. I care deeply about all animals, so I'll form a bond with your animals. I'm currently unemployed, so I'll have loads of time to provide love for your animals of any kind! Just let me know what you need/what you're looking for! I understand the basics of taking care of dogs, cats and other animals just like most pet sitters. But I also provide what some sitters don't: love! I'm very sweet and I can give your animals great love and care. Plus, I'll provide some pretty amazing photos of them. If anything out of the ordinary does happen, I will do my best to help and I will contact you immediately.
“Has been walking my little Chihuahua for a few weeks now, he was hesitant at first but now he gets so excited when she arrives! Takes her time, lets them sniff around as I asked, and always sends cute pics of the walk. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: I have three pets and one of them is a two year old mini Aussie. I regularly support a neighbor with their 11 year old pup and would like the opportunity to support your family in: * Teeth brushing * Crate Training * Baths & Grooming, at your request. * Walks around or in your neighborhood. * Administering medication. * Basic clicker training: I can support you and your pet(s) in reinforcing, sit, wait, spin, drop, high five, recall. * Exposure training for the anxious pups * All the cuddles, playing, and mental stimulation with safety in mind. A therapist by trade but an avid pet lover in general :) Right now my availability is flexible after 10am and before 3:30pm. Late evening are open as well for walks. Message me, maybe we can figure something out! I will treat your pet as you do. I’m interested in what their day to day schedule looks like, their likes and dislikes, favorite toys, and how to best earn their trust.
“Alex does great with our 5 month old puppy that already weighs 100 pounds, it helps so much he adds training tips to their walk as I am disabled and need pup to always stay in heal on my left. Alex does a great job teaching him on the walks!”
About: I worked at a doggy daycare in the past and gained extensive experience with most dog breeds and their temperament. I owned a labrador for 12 years so I have plenty of experience with high energy/high maintenance pets. I garauntee I will take care of your pet as if it were my own. I am very active and can keep up the pace with high energy dogs! I am happy to accommodate specific requests for your pets to make sure they’re comfortable and feel safe while they’re in my care. Feel free to ask me any additional questions about my qualifications or my background in taking care of dogs. I look forward to taking care of your furry friends! :) I’m self employed, so my schedule is very flexible during the day. I can take last minute walks or drop-in visits with little inconvenience to my work. I have expertise in reading a dogs body language whether it be happy, excited, feeling social, distressed, or scared. While you’re gone, you can trust that I will listen to your pet’s needs. While I do not accept boarding, I do offer home visits.

“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter or boarder for our dog. And that means a lot because we are very picky when it comes to our dog. Kind, thorough, responsive, and actually cares about our dog!”
“Best dog sitter Rylee (my dog) and I have ever had. It’s her home away from home. She comes home happy, healthy, and super sleepy from all the play. We are so lucky to have found this beautiful family. Thank you!!!!”
“Tamara is amazing! She picked up Luna for us and even dropped her off before we came back from out of town. Luna had an amazing time playing with Tamara dogs. She has a huge backyard for dogs to play and she loves Luna like she is her own. She even left us some treats for Luna. I recommend Tamara for any services with your fur babies.”
“Katarina was so patient with Luna and I appreciated the whole process from the intro to the pick up!! She made me and Luna feel extremely welcomed and shared plenty of pictures. I would absolutely use her again and would recommend! 10 out of 10, no notes!”
“Lorraine took great care of Pucci! She is welcoming and very attentive to his needs, as well as having a nice yard for some outside time. We received frequent photos as always feel assured that he is in great hands when we are out of town :)”
“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”
“Charise was amazing with our dog Zoe! Zoe came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Charise kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took Zoe on walks, car rides, and let her play in the yard with her sweet dog Navi. You could tell Zoe was getting lots of attention and love the entire time. We also really appreciated that Charise dropped Zoe off at home for us. Highly recommend Charise if you are looking for someone caring, reliable, and attentive to watch your fur baby!”
“First timer to book through Rover and it was a smashing success! Juliet seemed well cared for and entertained while her family left her for a long weekend. I would definitely book with John again. I think that Juliet got to hang with another dog put her at ease in a new home. And loved that we received periodic photos of her enjoying her vacation. Thank you!”
“Watched our very young puppy for a night and was amazing, very communicative, and flexible. The puppy seemed to have a great time with him and the resident dogs, and he sent tons of photos.”
“Eleanor was a great sitter for my dog Oliver! She was very communicative throughout his boarding, providing many updates and pictures. He had the best time with her and her very sweet pup Frankie. Couldn’t recommend enough!”
“Dezmond was great, he made sure to provide frequent updates/pictures and was flexible with scheduling. Appa was excited for his visit and enjoyed his stay with Dezmond. We will definitely come back.”
“Cary and her daughter are wonderful. Mac was there for a week and made himself at home. A nice fenced in yard and he was treated as one of the family. I highly recommend.”
“Jenny was great! My pup loved her and she was so responsive and provided me with tons of updates which made me feel very comfortable. Can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Lauriann and Sven were wonderful sitters! They sent pictures and updates every day. They made sure my Shar-Pei mix felt comfortable through the rain and fireworks, which she can get anxiety about. I felt so safe leaving her in their care and I would definitely book them again.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. My love for animals comes from raising my own dogs, especially my sweet girl, Roxi, whom I was fortunate to have from the time she was a puppy until she crossed the Rainbow Bridge in February 2026 at 15 years old. Caring for her through every stage of life gave me firsthand experience with senior dog care, medication schedules, mobility assistance, and the extra patience, compassion, and love that aging pets deserve. I'm comfortable maintaining feeding routines, administering oral medications, providing potty breaks, and recognizing when a dog's behavior or health seems out of the ordinary. I understand that every dog has a different personality, energy level, and comfort needs, and I adapt my care to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved. For puppies, I'm happy to reinforce the training and routines you're already working on, including crate training, potty schedules, basic commands, and positive reinforcement. I know consistency is important, and I'll follow your instructions to help keep your puppy on track. You'll also receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, comfortable, and in caring hands. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I work a hybrid full-time position, which allows me flexibility throughout the week. I carefully manage my calendar and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to, ensuring every pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it's morning walks, evening visits, overnight stays, or weekend care, I plan my schedule around each pet's needs. I believe reliability and consistency are just as important as love and affection, so I make it a priority to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible.

“Everything went very well. Lucy seemed happy and well taken care of. Malchom, Nicole and kids do a great job letting Lucy be part of the family. I’m sure Lucy enjoys being with the children. Would definitely keep using their services.”
“Rob, is a great sitter. I just got a new position and would have to rehome my Nova. He said no she is not going to a shelter she can stay as long as you need her too. The reviews I have seen are very upsetting because when my flight was late, he said Nova was sleeping and just come her the next day without an extra charge. My Nova had her buddy Delta that he send pictures of once or twice a week. Rob does a good job of care, love and support.”
“Elizabeth was so responsive, kind, and treated my dog as if it were her own. She sent me lots of photos and updates throughout the stay. Her kids were super gentle with my timid dog and I could tell that the entire family went out of their way to make my dog feel at home. Would definitely book again!”
“Adolfo was very responsive and worked with my dog Lily to ensure she was comfortable! He sent me daily picture updates, which help someone nervous with leaving their pup behind. I would recommend Adolfo and would use him again in the future if needed!”
“Regan was great! She sent plenty of pics and updates. She took amazing care of both Joe Willie and LuLu Bug and I’m not sure they wanted to come home ? Will definitely bring my furbabies back to Regan next time I need an overnight or have to go out of town. ?”
