Both our babies looked like they felt right at home with them and were treated fantastic!

“Jennifer is such a kind, responsible, and loving pet sitter! Our pup, Arlo, loved every second he spent with her and her wonderful dog, Myrtle. Jennifer was able to take Arlo on last minute request. She met him prior to his stay to ensure he would settle in comfortably. She shared daily photos and updates, for which we were so appreciative while away! Jennifer took Arlo in the car, on hikes, and treated him as her own. We could not have asked for better care.”

“First time using Rovr. Anna was amazing!!! She was available last minute after my caretaker cancelled and guided me through the process. She wrote me an update and sent lots of pictures. My usually shy Solame typically hides when she meets new people, but she greeted Anna at the door and even ate treats out of her hand before she left. Highly recommend!”

My trip was very peaceful and relaxing and all the more so because I had someone so caring it made me feel such peace of mind knowing someone like you was looking after my fur babies!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was eight. Not only my own personal pets, but also those of friends and family members. I do not currently have any pets, but I love animals, so this is my way to interact and spend time with them! I currently attend school, but my classes are spread out and only on certain days so I have plenty of time to take your dog on a nice, long walk. I'm really good as being able to tell if an animal is comfortable in a situation or not, so after our first walk, I can find the most enjoyable route for your dog!
“Jill was amazing! She was very thorough with ensuring she covered all of Izzy’s routine while she was here. She communicated with me the whole time and gave me updates. I also felt very comfortable having her stay at my home. We will definitely be using Jill again to care for our kitty!!”
“Andrew is the best! He was very attentive to our cats and send photos daily. We weren’t worried at all! Communication was wonderful and no issues at all. Would highly recommend him.”
About: I’ve always loved cats and have experience caring for them in all their unique moods. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter care, playtime, and even the occasional bath. I’m patient, attentive, and respect each cat’s personality—whether they’re cuddly or independent. Your cat will be cared for like my own.
About: I was 10 when I first convinced my mom to let me have a cat and I have never looked back. I helped my local shelters by volunteering and fostering when I was 10. Went on the being the primary care taker to my childhood cats as they entered their senior years. This included giving them pills and liquid meditation as well topical wound care. Now I help my cats by occasionally giving baths, nail trims, teeth brushing, and some anxiety medications. Cats are such silly and sweet little guys who deserve all the care are respect we can give them. I can’t wait to meet yours and help give them their best life.

About: “From tail wags to soft purrs—and even tiny paws and eight legs—I love helping pets feel happy and cared for. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and a variety of other pets, including ferrets, hamsters, rabbits, and even tarantulas.

About: Hi, I’m MJ, and dogs have been a part of my life since I was a little girl. I've cared for a variety of breeds and even some exotic animals, including a wild rabbit and an armadillo. I have a wealth of pet-sitting experience, and while living in the Lehigh Valley, I built a large clientele, earning 5-star reviews for the love and attention I gave to every pet in my care. My heart shattered when I lost Bella, my beloved 13-year-old Miniature Schnauzer, on 9/28/2024. Bella taught me more than I could ever imagine about caring for senior dogs. Through holistic methods and homemade nutrition, I extended her life and kept her healthy for 13 beautiful years. Bella needed special care, including gentle exercise, frequent bathroom breaks, a comfortable resting environment, and close monitoring of her health and behavior. I administered medications when necessary and worked hand-in-hand with her vet to ensure she had the best life possible. What sets me apart is the personal experience I gained from caring for Bella. I know how to tailor care for senior dogs, understanding the importance of mobility support, dietary restrictions, and health conditions. I always stay in close communication with pet owners to ensure I am meeting all of your dog’s specific needs. I pride myself on creating a safe, hazard-free, and chemical-free environment (aside from essential cleaning products in the bathroom and kitchen). Your dog will never come near harmful chemicals in my clean, cozy apartment, where they’re free to snuggle on the couch or bed. Also, I have plenty of experience feeding according to strict dietary instructions and administering oral medication as needed. Since Bella crossed the rainbow, my heart has been heavy, but the presence of other pets has helped me heal the sadness. I would love the opportunity to share my affection with your furry family member and care for them as if they were my own. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a senior needing extra attention, I'll give them the same love and devotion I gave to Bella, with the hope that one day, I'll meet her again. We wanted to share a small update about our schedule. Recently, David’s work situation has changed, and he is no longer home full-time. While I still work outside the home and we continue to coordinate our part-time jobs on different days, there may now be occasional times when neither of us is home for short periods. That said, we’re always happy to talk through any questions you may have, and we’re committed to working with you to find a solution if needed. Pet care remains an important part of our daily routine, and your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness continue to be our top priority. We truly appreciate your trust and are excited to keep welcoming your pets as part of our family. In our home, we provide a cozy, safe, and loving environment for your dog. While we don’t have a yard, we live in a quiet apartment complex with plenty of green areas for walks and outdoor play. We enjoy strolling around the peaceful neighborhood, ensuring your dog gets the exercise and fresh air they need. Rest assured, we always keep dogs on a leash to maintain their safety, and we carefully monitor their surroundings to avoid any potential hazards. Inside our home, your pet will have access to all the comforts they deserve—whether it’s relaxing on the couch or snuggling up on the bed. We take extra care to create a stress-free, hazard-free space where your dog can feel at ease. Our goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and happy.
About: I've been professionally caring for pets for over four years through my home-based pet sitting business, Yech's Pet Haven. I am also a licensed boarding facility, giving pet parents added peace of mind that their dogs are staying in a safe and compliant environment. During that time, I've cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes, including puppies, seniors, and pets with special routines or medications. I have experience safely managing multiple dogs, supervising playtime, and making sure every pet receives the individual attention they deserve. Growing up surrounded by animals, including dogs, horses, and goats, has given me a lifelong understanding of animal behavior and care. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, low-stress environment where every pet feels right at home while you're away. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. Since I run a home-based boarding facility, I am able to provide frequent attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and supervision throughout the day. I keep my boarding numbers small so each pet receives personalized care and plenty of one-on-one attention. My schedule is built around making sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their family is away. I provide a safe, calm, and loving home environment where pets can relax and feel comfortable. As a licensed boarding facility, I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and responsible pet care. I carefully manage introductions, supervise interactions, and separate pets during meals, rest time, or whenever needed. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and individual preferences, so they feel right at home.
“Glenn was great! He was super flexible with pick up and drop off times, as well as last minute scheduling changes. His responses were very fast and he also provided ample pictures of my little guy during his stay.”
About: Hi! I’m Julie. I grew up on a hobby farm surrounded by a menagerie of animals from a young age. Everything from chickens and goats to rabbits, cats, and dogs, and the occasional bit of wildlife, were welcome in my families home. As a high school student I became increasingly involved in agriculture and milked cows and cared for livestock. This turned into a love that led me to college in rural Maine where I earned a degree in Agriculture and Sustainability, all while working on a dairy farm each day. Currently, I homeschool my two children and am blessed with the ability to work from home. We live on a wooded property and have access to a small lake which is boarded by a wooded dirt road. Additionally, we have a small walking trail system directly on our property. We share our home with a Newfie doodle, Arlo, who is 1.5 years old, a Sulcuta tortoise, and a cat that lives under the bed. We have a large red deck with a fenced in space off of this for easy bathroom access and unleashed roaming space for your dog. I work from home and homeschool my children. Our days have built in flexibility and can be arranged to accommodate the needs of any pet staying with us. We enjoy time outdoors, and can often be found working remotely or “out schooling” from our backyard or a hiking trail. In our home, the pets are people too (and we will narrate their thoughts based on their expressions 🤪). Pets are allowed on the furniture and in all rooms. We have a large front porch for slow mornings and evenings that stretch well past sunset. We also have a large deck in the rear which has a fenced area off of it to allow plenty of space for unattended bathroom breaks or unleashed space to roam. My children are well versed in animal care and also understand giving space to a new animal, calm energy, etc. I will always setup a meet and greet prior to booking to ensure everyone feels comfortable and welcome. Medications can be distributed, and special diets can be managed.
About: Hi, we’re Colleen and Sohan! We’ve been dog sitting for almost 5 years and absolutely love it. Sohan is an engineer and Colleen is a scientist. We both work remotely and can provide supervision at all times. Your dog will be cared for by myself and my husband, Sohan. We both work remotely and would love to spend to spend time your pup! My main priority is to make sure your dog is comfortable and well cared for while under my care. I strive to make this process as easy as possible for you, as I know leaving your pup can be stressful! Don’t hesitate to let me know if there are any accommodations I can provide for your pup.

About: I have taken care of animals since childhood. I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fancy mice, african soft furred rats, small birds, aquatic turtles, fresh water fish, and ball pythons. I have known since childhood that I wanted to care for animals. During childhood I spent my free time volunteering at my local animal shelter. Helping clean animal pens and crates. During high school I volunteered at my local animal hospital as well as the local emergency animal hospital. As of recently I have been volunteering at a senior dog rescue. I love being able to help animals and I can’t wait to help care for your furbaby(ies). I currently am a stay at home pet parent and am looking to fill my free time with more animals. Plus I love to go hiking and always find it better to with a furry companion. My yard is unfenced but I enjoyed taking my dog on as many walks she wants. Sadly I can’t host pets at my house because my cats are wary about new dogs. But I love taking dogs on nice long walks so they can stretch their legs.
About: I've grown up around labs since my grandparents were breeders. All my aunts have had labs (usually more than one at a time), so I've gotten the chance to look after them and give them walks when they were away on vacation. My most recent experience was with my roommate's St Bernard. Optimus is the largest dog I've ever cared for let alone lived with. He's been a ton of work considering his previous owner's unfortunate lack of care. We've dealt with ear infections and bulking up to a healthy weight. Throughout all, patience and determination prevailed and he's our big buddy. I'm currently working three 12-hour shifts each week providing me evenings on work days and full days twice during week and all weekend for caring for cats. I'm unavailable Wednesday evenings and weekend mornings for religious reasons. I have a clean home vacuumed every morning with plenty of windows for looking out of. Scratching posts are in every room with plenty of toys and treats to go around. I love petting cats and giving belly rubs if that's their thing.
About: I believe pets are part of the family and should be treated that way. I have had many pets and love their companionship and have also included them in my daily routine I’m currently unemployed after 34 years with the same employer, I am dependable and experienced as evidenced by the amount of dedicated service to my former employer.

When at a clients home, I treat the space with respect and make sure to stick to the pets routine. I am willing to provide regular updates and pictures to make the owners feel as comfortable as possible!
About: I’ve had pets of all species, shapes, and sizes. I love taking care of pets, hanging out with them, and ensuring they’re safe and comfortable. I have a dog of my own and have done well training him. I’ve had dogs since I was five and deeply enjoyed taking care of them. I have cared for family member’s cats and dogs and I also have experience with some reptiles and rodents. I’ve even helped stray dogs throughout my life, managing to make them feel safe with me until an owner was found. I’m good at gaging an animal’s individual personality and acting accordingly. Shy? I am patient and gentle. Outgoing? I am ready to play. Your pet mainly likes privacy and naps? I’ll respect their space. I love animals and would love to care for yours when you need it! I’m working part time, which allows me plenty of time in the morning and afternoon to help care for your pet!

About: I’ve lived with animals of all sizes since before I could walk. I love meeting new anims everywhere I go and do my best to understand and respect them.

I will keep my calendar updated and communicate promptly about any scheduling changes. I believe pets are happiest when their routines stay consistent. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pets are family, too.

About: Hi, I'm Robyn, a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of trusted experience caring for dogs & cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities. I've grown up with a variety of animals my entire life (cats, dogs, guinea pigs, turtles, mice). For the past decade, I've been the go to pet sitter and dog walker for family and friends. Whether it’s high energy pups or senior cats who just want some company, I treat every pet like my own with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Before I was old enough to work, I spent time volunteering at a local animal shelter during my teen years. It gave me early hands on experience caring for animals with all kinds of personalities and needs, and helped shape my lifelong love and respect for animals. Right now, I share my home with a 5 year old beagle named Scout who I’ve raised since he was a puppy. Whether you're looking for reliable walks, drop ins, or overnight care, you can count on me to keep your pet safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I send regular updates and photos, and I always follow your care instructions to the letter. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! As a stay at home mom, I'm home and active throughout the day, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my regular routine. I'm available for walks and visits from 9am-2pm during the week, and I have full day availability on Sunday. I'm used to planning my days around care and routines, so incorporating pet care feels like a natural fit. Whether it's a morning walk to start the day, a dinner time drop in, or extended weekend care, I make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. When caring for pets in their own home, I always follow the pet parent's instructions closely to ensure consistency and comfort for their pet. I'm very detail oriented and make sure routines, feeding, medications, and preferences are followed exactly as requested. I also let the pet guide the pace of our interactions whether that means playtime, cuddles, or simply being a calm, reassuring presence. My goal is to make them feel safe, respected, and as relaxed as possible while you're away
About: I’ve taken care of my cat and dog for 8 years. I love to walk my neighbors dogs and create relationships with all types of animals. I currently work a full time job. i’m usually off two or three days a week and sometimes overnight so i’ll be available during the day. I can easily crate if your dog needed it. My neighbor is a dog friendly area. I can doors and windows locked and closed at all times.
About: I was raised around all kinds of animals, and have cared for cats, dogs, snakes, and rabbits. I love them all unconditionally and believe they should be raised to know full bellies, warm cozy nights, and endless love. I have experience working as a groomers assistant and a kennel attendant professionally for about 3 years as well, so I know how to handle special needs ranging from anxiety to aggression. I also understand what it's like to be tight on funds, and the need to budget tightly in order to properly care for your furry friends! If my Rover prices are too high for your budget, shoot me a message and I can help you stay in your range! I'm flexible, especially since all pets are different and require different amounts of work! I'm currently transitioning into working a typical full time job, so my once very wide open schedule has slimmed down a lot. I can best typically do check ins and walks in the early morning and in the evening. I'm assuming that I'll be doing a typical 9 to 5, so anything before 9am or after 5pm is within reach for me to make sure your pets are well cared for and loved while you're away. ❤️ You can reach out to me with any schedule questions and I can try to work something out with you! I always do my very best to be as gentle as possible with all pets! I tend to avoid using "alpha" proving tactics unless it is necessary for my or your pets safety (ex. scruffing, using chokers tightly, using the shock option over the buzz option on an electric collar). I see these options as only being necessary when the pet is acceptionally aggressive and may hurt myself, itself, or others. I'm also very cautious around doors as I know many pets would take the opportunity to bolt it into the street if they could. I can handle bruises and scratches well from excited pets! I'm usually always covered in them from my own fur babies.
“We've got Kayla booked for a week of dog sitting. She came over to meet and walk my dogs prior to. The dogs liked her right away and my daughter as well. I think that says it all :-)”
About: I have health care experience from my daily career and I've been taking care of all kinds of pets since I was a little girl. This includes several kitten rescues and rehoming. My little girl abby was a recue. Feeding, grooming, litter care needs, emotional support, love, time, and attention all go towards my cat at home on a daily basis. It's a labor of love. I would approach each clients needs with focus on respect, reliability, attention to details, and loving care towards each clients pet. I understand each clients needs will be individual.
About: My family and I currently have two pups - a golden retriever/pitbull mix who is 1 year old & a brown lab/pitbull mix who is 6 months old. Both are rescues. I also have many years of experience volunteering at a local animal shelter where I have helped take care of many different types of dogs. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend(s)! I am currently in medical school so I have a bit of a hectic schedule & do bounce between NEPA & Philadelphia. There are weeks when I am completely available & others I am completely booked. I will keep my calendar updated accordingly! I offer a warm and safe home for my own pets and any pets I take care of. I always make sure their needs are met - water full, meals on time, potty breaks whenever needed. If they're energetic, I love a good play time or a long walk!
About: Hi! My name is Charmaine, I am in the Luzerne County area and would be more than happy to watch you're fur babies for you 💕 I do currently work full time and work at home, so that way if you need a pet sitter you will know your fur baby will be safe and taking care of. Your fur babies are allowed on the furniture in my house! Always keep them very well accommodated and what the owner saids, goes!, I always have my phone with me so if you would like to be kept updated through out the day, while you are away it will never be a problem to call or text me 😊
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was eight. Not only my own personal pets, but also those of friends and family members. I do not currently have any pets, but I love animals, so this is my way to interact and spend time with them! I currently attend school, but my classes are spread out and only on certain days so I have plenty of time to take your dog on a nice, long walk. I'm really good as being able to tell if an animal is comfortable in a situation or not, so after our first walk, I can find the most enjoyable route for your dog!
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, both big and small. I’ve dog sitted for a couple of dogs around my neighborhood. We have trained my dog to walk off leash. Very active and would love to take your dog on a hike with me! Working part time throughout the summer. Free on weekends. Would love to stop by for early morning and evening walks/hikes! Overnight house sitting would fit right in with work. Before meeting the dog, I’ll make sure we acclimate to each others spaces. Allowing the dog to become accustomed to who I am and comfortable being walked or taken care of by me. Hopefully we’ll meet more than once and I’ll become recognizable and a friendly playmate!
About: Are you searching for a unique and flexible animal lover with 7 years of professional pet care experience under her belt on Rover and elsewhere? I currently work as a Dog Groomer at Petsmart, and have other past work experience from day care and boarding facilities. Let your pet(s) hang out with me while you’re away and you will have peace of mind that their routines will remain intact, and they will always stay happy and healthy during every short visit and all extended stays with me.😊 I know how to approach animals who might have anxious or cautious tendencies due to my experience with rescue animals, and have cared for several different special needs animals (ex. Blind, Deaf, heart conditions, brachycephalia) I can be entrusted to administer oral medication effectively as well. No matter the breed or demeanor, dogs seem to warm up to me very quickly. Disclaimer- we just may become best friends when they get their first back scratch. I typically accomodate with Daytime Drop-ins, 30/60 min. Dog Walks, and very flexible custom House Sitting services. Please contact me through Rover, phone, or email, and I will promptly respond to sort out an arrangement that best suits everyone, especially your pets! 🐶 I work full time as a dog groomer at Petsmart 10-6 Monday-Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. I am available for your pets all day on Thursdays and Sundays, and evenings/nights always! I offer house-sitting services for clients needing me to stay in their home while they go away for a long period of time, and also drop in visits/quick walks for clients who need someone to check on their pup during the day. I provide food and water, allow them exercise and go outside as needed, entertain them to their hearts' content, and naturally I give them all the love they deserve and then some. 🥰 I accomodate for pet care needs by providing pet sitting or walking services in the evenings and on my days off from my full time job. I do not provide services within my home, but in a client's home, I always make sure the pets are comfortable with my presence, and I care for them exactly as the pet parents require. They can contact me anytime to check on them and I always send pictures.

“We were a nervous wreck leaving our 12 year old Baby with a stranger for the first time and for 10 days! Laura invited us to a meet and greet at her home before we left and she is the type of person that when you meet her and have a conversation, you feel like you’ve been friends for years! She took very good care of Baby and sent us texts with pics the whole time we were gone! I highly recommend her and I was thrilled when she said she would watch her again!”
“She had been amazing to my dog and met up several times. My dog adore her. She’s great taking care of my dog while I went on vacation. She really gives me peace of mind. Highly recommended. She sent me videos and pictures. Definitely will be it interesting booking with her again”
“Sandy Faith had a wonderful time at Adiana's. She took such great care of my sweet girl. I will definitely use her again. Sandy had friends to play with too. Adiana took plenty of pictures and keep me updated on how Sandy was doing. I was able to enjoy my birthday without having to worry about Sandy. She's a perfect sitter. Sandy loved her.”
“Adam did a great job boarding and caring for our 80lb higher energy labrador. Very communicative and sent pictures. We also requested Adam apply an allergy meds which he was great at. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Adam!”
“Fatima took care of our 75lb high energy Pitbull like it was her very own dog. We left for a vacation for 16 days and Fatima took over as both Mom and Pack Leader. She walked, fed, gave medication, cleaned ears, bathed, played with, etc. We got photos and vids daily, which gave us peace of mind that Leo was in great care. Highly Recommend!”
“Heaven was absolutely amazing! She took great care of my puppy and kept me updated throughout the entire time. She sent pictures and videos regularly, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was happy and well cared for. Her communication was excellent, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I will definitely be booking with Heaven again in the future—highly recommend her services!”
“Simply the best place to have my dogs stay!! It’s a vacation for them!! Jack and Joanne are so caring and go above and beyond to make sure the dogs have a great stay.”
“Jennifer is such a kind, responsible, and loving pet sitter! Our pup, Arlo, loved every second he spent with her and her wonderful dog, Myrtle. Jennifer was able to take Arlo on last minute request. She met him prior to his stay to ensure he would settle in comfortably. She shared daily photos and updates, for which we were so appreciative while away! Jennifer took Arlo in the car, on hikes, and treated him as her own. We could not have asked for better care.”
“Lorraine was a blessing! She took excellent care of my baby girl. She was very kind and listened to all my neurotic instructions. She treated my girl like her own and gave her lots of love. As per my request, I got daily updates and lots of pictures. My Lucy loved staying at her house with her new BFF Koko (Lorraine's dog). I am so happy to have found my new permanent sitter!”
About: Hi! I’m Julie. I grew up on a hobby farm surrounded by a menagerie of animals from a young age. Everything from chickens and goats to rabbits, cats, and dogs, and the occasional bit of wildlife, were welcome in my families home. As a high school student I became increasingly involved in agriculture and milked cows and cared for livestock. This turned into a love that led me to college in rural Maine where I earned a degree in Agriculture and Sustainability, all while working on a dairy farm each day. Currently, I homeschool my two children and am blessed with the ability to work from home. We live on a wooded property and have access to a small lake which is boarded by a wooded dirt road. Additionally, we have a small walking trail system directly on our property. We share our home with a Newfie doodle, Arlo, who is 1.5 years old, a Sulcuta tortoise, and a cat that lives under the bed. We have a large red deck with a fenced in space off of this for easy bathroom access and unleashed roaming space for your dog. I work from home and homeschool my children. Our days have built in flexibility and can be arranged to accommodate the needs of any pet staying with us. We enjoy time outdoors, and can often be found working remotely or “out schooling” from our backyard or a hiking trail. In our home, the pets are people too (and we will narrate their thoughts based on their expressions 🤪). Pets are allowed on the furniture and in all rooms. We have a large front porch for slow mornings and evenings that stretch well past sunset. We also have a large deck in the rear which has a fenced area off of it to allow plenty of space for unattended bathroom breaks or unleashed space to roam. My children are well versed in animal care and also understand giving space to a new animal, calm energy, etc. I will always setup a meet and greet prior to booking to ensure everyone feels comfortable and welcome. Medications can be distributed, and special diets can be managed.
“Carissa was a great sitter for Lennox - he seems to have enjoyed her care and the company of her pet, Judge. He came back happy! During his stay with her, Carissa kept in touch with me with appropriate updates, including photos and a few short videos. She was flexible on drop off and pick up times, which was great because my return home was delayed a little bit with traffic. I’d recommend her for sure and already booked Lennox for another stay with her in a few weeks!”
“Natalie is truly amazing. Going above and beyond is an understatement. My little guy might not be here if it wasn’t for her. She got him care quickly when he needed it and provided updates/photos to keep me in the loop. Cannot recommend her enough.”
“Absolutely the most phenomenal, amazing & loving service you could ever get for your fur babies. Both my kitties stayed for a week & every day I woke up to videos of them and was updated throughout the day. Vanessa & Virlyn are so attentive and so sweet, they will absolutely be seeing my cats & I again. 1000/10 would definitely recommend!!!”
“Lisa was great and took care of my pup! I had never left her for so long and it was comforting knowing she was in good hands. She sent updated throughout and I know she was well taken care of.”
“If I could give more than five stars, I would—honestly, this was one of the most above-and-beyond experiences we’ve ever had with any service, not just dog sitting. From the very beginning, she was kind, communicative, and incredibly professional—but what truly blew us away was everything that happened *after* we booked her for what was supposed to be just a single day. Due to unexpected circumstances on our end, that one day turned into three… and she handled it with nothing but grace, flexibility, and genuine care. Not once did she make us feel like it was an inconvenience. In fact, she reassured us the entire time and treated our dog like her own. She kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. You could tell our dog was not only well cared for, but truly happy and comfortable. It’s rare to find someone who connects so naturally with animals, but she absolutely does. And then—when we thought we couldn’t possibly be more impressed—she somehow raised the bar even higher. She went out of her way to return our dog to us, taking not one but TWO Ubers to make sure everything worked out smoothly. Who does that?! That level of dedication, effort, and positivity is almost unheard of. The entire time, she maintained the most amazing attitude—warm, patient, and completely unbothered—when most people would understandably be stressed or frustrated. It’s hard to put into words just how grateful we are. She didn’t just “watch our dog”—she showed kindness, flexibility, and a level of commitment that genuinely meant a lot to us during a stressful situation. If you are even *considering* booking with her, do it immediately. She is reliable, compassionate, communicative, and truly goes the extra mile (literally and figuratively). We would trust her again in a heartbeat and will absolutely be booking with her in the future. Thank you again for everything—you are truly one of a kind!”
About: Hello all, I've owned cats, dogs, and horses for over 20 years now and was their main caregiver starting at 8 y.o. I've worked at many horse barns and pet sitter for many many friends over the years. I have skills in pet healthcare (administering medication, baths, cutting nails, etc), young animals, dog & horse training, rescue animals, and elderly animals. I do my best to provide stress free care for your pets. I am currently working from home full-time! So there is always someone around to take care of your pet! My husband and I mostly like to relax and unwind at home with the occasional dinner date or movie, but are flexible and will be upfront with owners if their pet’s needs cannot be met! When pets are in my home, I always take note of the their state of wellness, looking for stress or anything out of the ordinary. I also will inspect the environment to ensure dangerous items (small items/chocolate/other) are out of reach. While we do not have a fenced in backyard we do have a lunge line that will allow your pet to enjoy running around in the backyard but provides a limit so pets do not go near the back alley road! I make sure pets have access to water at all times. I am able to administer medications easily whether it is as simple as pill pockets or even injections. We also have two dogs of our own as well as a cat! Geordi is a 10 year old Australian Cattle dog who is energetic but respects other pets space, Thor is a 1 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi who loves other playmates, and Wynnona is that our 4 year old cat who tends to mind her own business!
