“Thank you to Desi and Mimi for caring for our adored family fur baby, Leia! She is happy to stay - wagging her tail when she enters - and we are just as excited to pick her up! We know that she is in great hands and we couldn’t be happier! Thank you!”
“Marcy is amazing! I never have to worry if Lilly is in safe hands while she’s staying with her. Lilly loves her whole family, and they all treat her with extra TLC. Marcy sends us daily morning/mid day/ and evening pictures and updates keeping us informed. We love her!”
About: I have years of experience with cats and dogs of all ages. I have so much love for all animals and I’m very patient in taking care and getting to know them. I’ve had many dog clients and each dog has their own personality. Each client I have, I take the time to make sure that the pet is comfortable and happy. On the days I have your pet, I will have plenty of time to take care of them for their scheduled time. I love animals and have pets myself so pet care falls naturally into my daily actives. From making time to walk, feed, and exercise with them. My top priority is to provide a safe environment for the pets that will be in my home or a clients home. Its very important for me to make sure I provide good communication with the owner. Before taking care of your pet, I like to discuss specific requirements my clients might need for their pet, such as feeding schedules. exercise routines, and any special needs. I give frequent updates and provide many pictures and if there’s anything of concern that I see while your pet is in my care I make sure to notify the owner immediately.
“Teresa is so sweet and kind. You can tell she really loves animals. Kuma had a great time with her and he’s someone that takes a while to warm up other people. It probably helped that her own dogs are so welcoming as well. I highly recommend.”
“Christina was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Phire! She went above and beyond, keeping us updated with thoughtful messages with photos that showed how much love and care she provided. Christina took Phire on long walks, ensuring she got plenty of exercise and stimulation. She fed her right on schedule (including her supplement) and made sure she felt completely at home. Phire was so relaxed and happy at Christina’s house—it was clear she was in great hands. Christina’s professionalism, warmth, and dedication made us feel so comfortable leaving Phire with her. We can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“I was beyond happy with the care Suely gave my dogs. Neither one of them have ever been away from me and she was kind and treated them great! They were both happy and so was I! She constantly sent me pictures, videos and updates. Thank you so much Suely! My dogs love you and I will definitely be using you again. I highly recommend Suely!! ♥️”
“Amanda and her family took amazing care of my dog, Rylie! I received daily updates with pictures and thoughtful details about how she was doing, which gave me such peace of mind, especially since this was my first time leaving Rylie with a sitter. From the moment I met Amanda and her family, I could tell they were wonderful people who would treat Rylie like their own. The photos showed Rylie having so much fun, getting plenty of cuddles, and receiving lots of attention. I’m so grateful for the care they gave her and will definitely be booking with them again!”
“I am so happy to have found Jenny and Geoff! They took wonderful care of my 75-lb dog, Sawyer. After checking to make sure that he’d enjoy it, they gave him lots of play time with their kids and other dogs and treated him to multiple trips to the dog park. He started to show signs of an ear infection the day before I had to drop him off, and they were so kind about cleaning his ears twice a day. And they sent me daily photos and videos of him playing and cuddling. I was pretty sure that he wouldn’t want to come home again! Highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and am comfortable adapting to all personalities ~ from energetic and social to more shy or sensitive. Growing up, our home always had multiple dogs, so I’m very used to different temperaments, routines, and dynamics. I’ve also had hands-on experience supporting pregnant dogs and caring for litters, including situations where extra attention and patience were needed early on. Over time, I’ve learned that every dog is different, and I take the time to understand their behavior, energy, and needs so they feel safe and comfortable. My own dog is very social and friendly, and since we’re new to the area, she would love to make some new friends as well. I’m happy to care for your dog in whatever way they need ~ whether that’s boarding, drop-in visits, or a relaxed walk around your neighborhood. My goal is always to provide dependable care and make the experience easy and stress-free for both you and your pet. I look forward to connecting with you! I currently work full-time in a hybrid remote role. I offer my services on days I’m working from home so I can give your dog consistent attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. If you need boarding services, you can expect that your dog would spend their time lounging in my home with me and my dog, Khalesi. We have a fenced-in dog park within the community, but I prefer to take them on long strolls near the grassy areas so they can get plenty of new smells to sniff.
“Paola took great care of Louie while we were away. She sent daily updates and pics which we really appreciate. Louie feels very comfortable and love staying there. Thanks Paola!”
About: My services include in-home pet sitting, dog and cat walking, feeding, medication administration, playtime, and regular updates to keep you connected with your pet while you're apart. Whether you're heading out of town, working long hours, or just need an extra hand, we're here to make sure your pets feel happy, secure, and cared for! I take pride in building trusting relationships with both pets and their owners. I’m very flexible with my schedule and currently available at any time so there is a lot of play time with your fur baby. I accept last minute bookings. I’m available for boarding, walks, and play dates. I have a fenced yard, open playroom, and two welcoming fur babies as well to keep your dog happy and warm. I can accommodate to any of your pets needs. I’m available for boarding, walks, feeding, administering medication (oral) and play dates. I can send pictures and FaceTime during the boarding visits just to keep in touch while you’re away.
“Carolina will be the only sitter for my dog from now on. She and her family truly cared for my dog during my family's vacation and i can't thank her enough! They are true dog lover! Thank you, Carolina for your care and service for my dog!!!”
“Siram and Rekha are a blessings to my family. Caliber my Golden Doddle is my whole world and the minute I met Siram and Rekha we bonded and I feel comfortable I was leaving Caliber in the best care and his 2nd home. Caliber gets along well with Milo. As long as they would have Caliber when I need a second home Siram and Rekha is my only option. Thank you both.”
“I highly recommend Lidia! She treated my dog, Lola, as if she were her own. Lidia took Lola wherever she went, kept her comfortable at her home, and played with her often. I felt so comfortable with Lola being with Lidia while I was on vacation because the pictures sent to me showed Lola living her best life! Lidia is so kind, and I will 100% book with her again!”
“Rhea & Michael were amazing dog sitters for Ozzie & Zoe! Ozzie is a rescue that is very afraid of new people and is very vocal about his fears. Despite being a more challenging dog, Rhea & Michael still opened their home up to our pups and gave them plenty of undivided attention. Zoe is a cattle dog mix with endless energy. We received daily text messages/pictures of her playing fetch in their fully fenced in quiet yard and then pictures of her being tuckered out and napping after. They were extremely patient and understanding of our dogs' specific needs. By the end of the trip, Ozzie had actually become friends with them, which is high praise from him! Your dogs will be treated like family if you chose Rhea & Michael to watch them 💕”
“I was a little nervous about having to leave our dog Franklin while we were away. Was reassured after our meet & greet with Enis that we had made the best choice! He sent pictures of Franklin which put our minds at ease & Franklin seems to have enjoyed his time with Enis, and we could relax & enjoy ourselves as well. Enis seems very caring & we will definitely use him again in the future to watch our little guy!”
“My husband and I recently moved to the area and had to find new sitters for our boy Sonny since we were going on vacation for a few days. THANK GOD we found Kathy & Ben, they were amazing. From the meet and greet all the way to when we picked him up, my husband and I felt that Sonny would be in great hands. They have a beautiful home and know how to make your pup feel at home. They were very responsive and were constantly sending us update and photos/videos. They even gave us a cute little report card about Sonny's stay. When I picked up Sonny, I think he wanted to stay with them haha. We will absolutely be using Kathy and Ben again and we highly recommend that you do as well.”

“Andy was an incredible sitter for our cat, Lincoln. He was highly responsive throughout the entire process, and he provided thorough check-in summaries with pictures, which really helped ease any concerns about our pet while out of town. Lincoln is not always the nicest to newcomers, and Andy did a great job navigating Lincoln’s defensiveness”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring specifically for cats in both home and group settings. I’ve helped my grandmother care for cats through the Start Foundation, where I learned how to handle different personalities, from shy and anxious cats to more playful and social ones.

She is professional and loves animals, which was easy to tell from when she met Sydney. I will definitely be using Yaneira again the next time I need to go out of town. She is very responsible and committed :)”

Having successfully rehabilitated Ebony from a highly skittish street-rescue into a confident, loving companion, I have a profound understanding of cat trauma, anxiety, and boundaries.

“Desi & Marilyn took great care of our babies, Maisie and Milo on Thanksgiving and allowed us to visit with family knowing they’d be safe and well taken care of. They were so easy to work with and open to our changing schedule. They were very friendly, made us feel at ease, sent updates and photos and stayed communicative throughout. Will definitely book again when we travel!”

“She is really thoughtful and caring! She sent us lots of pictures to keep us updated on our dog, and I could tell from those photos that she truly loves dogs. She pays great attention to detail and makes sure everything is done properly. I feel completely safe and comfortable leaving my dog with her — highly recommended!”
“Outstanding service! I needed a last-minute backup sitter when our regular sitter wasn't available. Karen responded -and continued to respond throughout our interaction- immediately and thoughtfully. She asked excellent questions at our "meet-n-greet" and our pup immediately warmed to her and her well-kept home. I wasn't able to tell her exactly when I would be back to pick up due to lack of cell service but she took it in stride and replied "No problem" when I was finally able to communicate. Karen is new to this site and I'm confident she will be racking up 5-star reviews in no time. I will definitely use her again and tell my friends.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for years through family, friends, and people in my neighborhood. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, boarding, giving lots of attention, and keeping up with each pet’s usual routine. I know every dog has a different personality, so I try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and I’m available seven days a week. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day.

“My wife and I are first time pet owners together and it was extremely hard to leave our Djinn behind in the care of stranger. But as God would have it, he supplied us Zuleyka! She’s been our blessing. She’s taken very good care of our dog and made him very comfortable; calming his separation anxieties. She’s made him feel right at home and has also calmed our fears and worries as well. She’s given us timely updates and photo’s and even offered us video chats. She’s also provided us with special accommodations for our Djinn; which we were very pleased with. We look forward to using her services again in the future. Sincerely, Kelvin & Delores Crawley”

“I could not recommend Carly enough! My dog had surgery and I was incredibly anxious to leave him with anyone, but I had to look around on Rover as he had to be supervised post-surgery while I went to work.

She is caring and kind, and really wants to connect with the pet and the pet parent. My dog always comes back from walks with her tired and ready for a long nap. He's so excited to see her every single time! I trust Giselle completely - she's even taken my dog out and had access to my house when I wasn't home. Highly recommend her.”
“We were worried about trusting another person to walk our dog since she's a shy rescue, but Megan made everything perfect. She was very calm and patient with her, very professional, and never missed a dog walking appointment. I'm now officially a fan of this service and hope there's an opportunity to book with Megan once again!”
“Claudine is an excellent reliable dog walker and my pup Pebbie is beyond thrilled to see her during her weekly walks!! She is very attentive to my pup and her needs.

I cannot recommend Claudine and her services enough!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals and my hands-on care in different situations. I’ve been taking care of my own dogs, cats, and bunnies since I was six years old, so I understand daily routines, exercise needs, and how to keep pets happy and safe. I’ve also helped my grandmother care for cats through the Start Foundation, where I learned patience, gentle handling, and how to look after multiple animals at once. Because of this, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages—from energetic puppies and kittens who needs attention to older pets who require a calmer, more careful approach. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’ve always had responsibilities taking care of animals at home. I’m used to planning my day around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention they need. I’m consistent and organized, so I can easily stick to a pet’s routine and follow any specific instructions. On a weekly basis, I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be reliable and available for regular visits or last-minute needs. Taking care of pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make it a priority to give them quality time, whether that’s exercise, play, or just keeping them company. For dog walking, I make sure each walk is safe, structured, and tailored to the dog’s energy level and needs. I follow your usual route or preferences, keep dogs securely leashed, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. During walks, I allow time for exercise, bathroom breaks, and a positive interactions so they stay happy and engaged. For drop-in visits, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine. This includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up after them, and spending quality time with play or companionship so they don’t feel lonely. I also keep an eye on their overall behavior and well-being, making sure everything seems normal while you’re away. For cats, I make sure they are safely in their home and always being careful about opening the door so they don't escape. I take my time till they get to know me. In both cases, I respect your home, follow all instructions carefully, and provide dependable, attentive care so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I bring a rare blend of structured accountability, diverse hands-on experience, and an intuitive connection with animals of all shapes and sizes.

The Magic Touch: As a former Licensed Massage Therapist, I have the magic touch - "Tails will be-a-waggin'!" Rescue-Level Empathy: Having successfully rehabilitated my own skittish street-rescue cat, I'm good at reading subtle body language and building trust with nervous or reactive animals at their own pace. I guarantee total respect for your home security, strict adherence to your routines, and exceptional communication while you are away! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I am fully available from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM just about every day of the week for scheduled bookings.

I know when to give a pet their space and when to offer affection, ensuring they always feel secure and never pressured. If your pet needs extra time to adjust to a new face, I bring a calm, patient presence that allows them to approach me whenever they feel completely comfortable.

Before taking care of your pet, I like to discuss specific requirements my clients might need for their pet, such as feeding schedules. exercise routines, and any special needs. I give frequent updates and provide many pictures and if there’s anything of concern that I see while your pet is in my care I make sure to notify the owner immediately.
“Christina was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Phire! She went above and beyond, keeping us updated with thoughtful messages with photos that showed how much love and care she provided. Christina took Phire on long walks, ensuring she got plenty of exercise and stimulation. She fed her right on schedule (including her supplement) and made sure she felt completely at home. Phire was so relaxed and happy at Christina’s house—it was clear she was in great hands. Christina’s professionalism, warmth, and dedication made us feel so comfortable leaving Phire with her. We can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“I am so happy to have found Jenny and Geoff! They took wonderful care of my 75-lb dog, Sawyer. After checking to make sure that he’d enjoy it, they gave him lots of play time with their kids and other dogs and treated him to multiple trips to the dog park. He started to show signs of an ear infection the day before I had to drop him off, and they were so kind about cleaning his ears twice a day. And they sent me daily photos and videos of him playing and cuddling. I was pretty sure that he wouldn’t want to come home again! Highly recommend!!”
“Carolina will be the only sitter for my dog from now on. She and her family truly cared for my dog during my family's vacation and i can't thank her enough! They are true dog lover! Thank you, Carolina for your care and service for my dog!!!”
“Siram and Rekha are a blessings to my family. Caliber my Golden Doddle is my whole world and the minute I met Siram and Rekha we bonded and I feel comfortable I was leaving Caliber in the best care and his 2nd home. Caliber gets along well with Milo. As long as they would have Caliber when I need a second home Siram and Rekha is my only option. Thank you both.”
“I highly recommend Lidia! She treated my dog, Lola, as if she were her own. Lidia took Lola wherever she went, kept her comfortable at her home, and played with her often. I felt so comfortable with Lola being with Lidia while I was on vacation because the pictures sent to me showed Lola living her best life! Lidia is so kind, and I will 100% book with her again!”
“I was a little nervous about having to leave our dog Franklin while we were away. Was reassured after our meet & greet with Enis that we had made the best choice! He sent pictures of Franklin which put our minds at ease & Franklin seems to have enjoyed his time with Enis, and we could relax & enjoy ourselves as well. Enis seems very caring & we will definitely use him again in the future to watch our little guy!”
“My husband and I recently moved to the area and had to find new sitters for our boy Sonny since we were going on vacation for a few days. THANK GOD we found Kathy & Ben, they were amazing. From the meet and greet all the way to when we picked him up, my husband and I felt that Sonny would be in great hands. They have a beautiful home and know how to make your pup feel at home. They were very responsive and were constantly sending us update and photos/videos. They even gave us a cute little report card about Sonny's stay. When I picked up Sonny, I think he wanted to stay with them haha. We will absolutely be using Kathy and Ben again and we highly recommend that you do as well.”
“Marisol was awesome! She was loving and fun for my 9-year old golden. She communicated and I can’t recommend her more than this because it’s my max recommendation.”
“Brain was very easy to work with. Meet and Greet was super easy and the actual boarding was super smooth. Max seems to have had a great time with Brian. I would highly recommend Brian.”
“We are so pleased with the care our dog received while staying with Laura and Daniel. They treated our dog with kindness and compassion. We are beyond grateful for your wonderful service. Thank you.”
“We had to travel out of the country for a little over a week and Michelle’s warm and sweet personality really eased our concerns about being away, especially since we just moved to the area and were leaving our dog with someone new. She proactively communicated and shared updates with us. It was clear that she embraced Kofi as a part of her family and we’re very grateful!”
“This was my first Rover experience and it could not have been better. Ashley sent photos of my dog throughout my trip away, so I was never worried. Ashley was incredible, attentive, and so communicative. I would definitely reccomend this service, as well as Ashley, to anyone!”
“We would give 10 stars if we could! Tricia had our Labrador Retriever/Catahoula Leopard mix Lenny for a little over a week and it was the first time we had ever left him anywhere. At our first meeting, it was clear that Tricia has a tremendous amount of experience and know-how when it comes to dogs, and I knew immediately that we were in great hands. She calmed our nerves and assured us that she would keep us updated while we were away. She helped our guy settle into a routine quickly and she did an extraordinary job handling his food issues (we sent pre-made table food for her to give him). While we were away, she was an excellent communicator and sent us various pictures of him during different times of the day. He looked so happy that we were afraid he wouldn't want to come home! When we picked him up, he was happy, healthy, clean, and showed obvious affection towards Tricia. We are so incredibly relieved that we found her to watch Lenny if and when we need to travel without our boy. With gratitude, from Laura (Lenny's Mom).”
“They were great! They understood the exact needs of my dog and were able to accommodate gracefully on top of being extremely communicative. I would highly recommend them to anyone!”
“Caitlin was amazing, her and Georgia took such great care of our pup. Super communicative and flexible. Nice long walks and plenty of attention our dog came back a happy camper.”
