“Jo was fantastic to work with and I'm so glad she was available! She watched our pup over a long weekend and could not have been more loving.

“My three cats were happy, cared for according to my instructions, and Rachel's communications were great. Our first experience with her and we will definitely have her at the top of our list next time!”

About: I have loved taking care of pets my whole life. I currently have two giant breed, English Mastiffs. Hunter 170 lbs. Athena 150 lbs. So from Itty bitty pups to giant breed adult dogs, I'm your gal! I am professional, reliable, honest and trustworthy. Your pets and your home will be safe with me while you're away. ❤️ I'm currently semi-retired and still work in my field but I am 100% remote. I am a director for an IT staffing company. So my schedule is flexible to take care of pets. I'm available during the week now if it's ok that I work from your home. Hoping to be 100% retired by the end of the year. So excited! ❤️ I will feed, water and provide meds. I can bathe, brush, walk and play with your pets if you like. I love to love on them and hold them for as long as they will let me. I spoil our pets and I'll spoil yours too, if that's ok! I'm happy to do drop ins. I can feed your cats or fish too. I'm experienced with both. No one will care for your home and your pets like I will!

“We used Rover for the first time for a 4 day trip and Polly was wonderful! She sent tons of pictures and let us know how things were going. We came home to some very happy kitties and I wouldn't hesitate to have Polly watch our furry family again.”

“Came to town to visit friends and needed a day sitter for the dogs. Thankful that Rachel was willing to watch all 3. She was happy with their swag bag of treats and toys for the day.”

About: My specialty is mainly extra time and patience for helping traumatized pets feel safe and learn to enjoy life. I've helped countless dogs learn how to even be dogs with only compassion and love. I know every dog can be helped with time, patience and observing cues. I raised Meeko, an Australian Shepherd who could solve the energy crisis 😁 I named him after the dog in Skyrim near Solitude. I discovered my passion for training especially through researching into raising a high energy working breed 😄 I trained him as my own service dog and he became one for other dogs in many ways, he helped so many dogs heal and realize other dogs are actually cool. I know how scary it is to trust someone with your pet so I will give plenty of videos, pictures and stories, nothing is too needy 😄 I work a tech support/medical assistant job from home so I have a very flexible schedule. I spend most of my time rehabilitating pets and wildlife. The rest of my time is spent enjoying art, nature, games and life 🤓 Most of our day would be nature walks and exploring. There's a big gated dog park next too my building too. We would otherwise be relaxing - they would get spoiled with love, treats toys and play time.

“Love all the services Rover offers and the affordable prices. Polly has been able to be here twice to help with Minnie. Polly is a darling and a a favorite in the area. She send photos so I know she is taking good care of Minnie.”

“Mocha loved meeting Jonita and going for a walk with her. We like that Jonita tries to follow what we do and doesn’t allow Mocha to jump up on her etc when she’s overly excited. I’m sure we will book again!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a child. I recently lost my soul dog, Sophie. I would love to spend my love, time, and energy on some other pets since I am currently an empty nester. I have no size limits or breed limits, I have vast amounts of experience with all ages and personalities. Thanks for considering me! I am currently doing pet sitting full time. Whether you need walking, dog/cat sitting, boarding, or drop ins I am available from early morning till 10pm! I have a fenced in back yard with tons of room to run and play. No current pets so all of my attention will be on your fur babies and keeping them engaged, active, and safe.
