“Becca was so great with Nico! She did the essentials, like making sure he had clean water, fresh food, and cleaned his litter box — but also made time to give him attention. She also provided pictures/updates so I was able to check in and see my fur baby. 😊”
“Peyton is great! My cats were totally comfortable with her right away. She was timely and attentive. Her communication was excellent and made me feel so confident about the care my pets would receive with her! I look forward to booking with her again next time I am in need!”
“Brooke has watched our kitty a couple of times and has done amazing each time! She is very accommodating of anything that is asked and communicates very well. River always seems happy after Brooke watches her!”
“Abby is AWESOME..she made me feel so comfortable leaving my cat home while I was on vacation and was such a life saver!! I will absolutely use her again if she’s available😊😊”
“Itzel is a very loving and compassionate animal caretaker! From the moment I met her, and throughout the entire boarding period, I felt comfortable with the care my cats received. Itzel made a trip to my home to meet my cats a few days before the boarding period. I could tell right away that everything was going to be more than alright. Itzel drove back to my home to pick up my cats upon commencement of the boarding period. During the time I was on vacation for over two weeks, Itzel sent me numerous videos of my cats which showed how well they were adjusting, and the wonderful care they were receiving. I could tell right away that my cats were getting a lot more attention and love than even I had been giving them! I was starting to think that my cats might now want to come back to me because they were getting more attention from Itzel! I was glad, though, because I knew my cats were well loved and cared for. That meant a lot to me! During and at the end of the boarding period, I had to make adjustments to the duration of the stay. Itzel was more than accommodating to these changes. The Rover platform was also very user friendly, so that these changes in the boarding itinerary were made without any problems at all.”
About: Growing up we’ve always had dogs of all ages, so I am skilled at caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I have also had experience taking care of neighbors’ dogs as well while they were away. Currently I am a cat mom, so not only am I capable of caring for cats, but I also have a deep understanding of the love, worry, and responsibility that pet owners experience. All of this being said, I can assure you that your pets will be in good hands when I am around! I currently have a part time internship with a flexible schedule, so I am well equipped to tend to your pets needs. However, I am unavailable most weekends due to family caregiving duties out of town. Since I am a cat mom, I’m not entirely comfortable allowing other animals in my home. However, I am more than willing to go to clients’ homes to feed, walk, let outside, give medicine, cuddle, or play with pets.
“Samantha took great care of my two cats who are not very used to strangers. They were well cared for and were very content when I returned. Absolutely zero complaints and I would highly recommend Samantha.”

About: I’ve taken care of my dogs since I was little. I have watched my neighbors cat making sure the litter box is cleaned and she was feed. I have done that with another cat as well as chicks.

“Harley was very attentive to our two adult cats. She was also responsive as we had a couple issues with getting her access through our smart app on phone in our new apartment. Harley worked with us through with fantastic communication 👏 as we were traveling out of state to resolve the issue. Highly recommended 👌”
“Emily has watched my kitties twice now. Both times were great & came home to happy cats. They come out to greet her now, so they're comfortable with Emily. I'd book her again without hesitation! Thanks Emily! 🐈⬛🥰”
About: I occasionally care for my brothers cat while he is out of town, and my friends have relied on me to care for their sweet cats when they couldn’t. I like to make sure the litter box(es) are clean at-least three times a week, make sure the house is clean, and the cat gets the best treatment with consistently full bowls!
About: In the last 6 years, I have consistently worked as a veterinary assistant for different hospitals as I moved to college. I have a bachelors degree in animal science. Though I have not owned a cat, I understand the care, compassion, and communication they need to stay happy and healthy.
About: I have volunteered at a fox rescue, wildlife rehabilitation center, and the Minnesota zoo, so I have a ton of experience with many different types of animals. I have always had a dog in my house. My parents currently have 3 dogs and two cats while I have one dog and one cat. I can work with any kind of animal big or small! I have a husky and a German short haired pointer, so I know how to walk, or take care of, a more energetic dog. On the other hand I also have a French bulldog so I also know how to care them smaller, less active dogs. I have dog sat many times before in the past and I have never had any complaints.

I know how important your pets are to you and I will do everything to keep them safe and healthy!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Aurora
About: Hi, I’m Allie! With over 2 years of hands-on experience working at a dog kennel, I know what it takes to keep pups happy, healthy, and safe. I work from home most of the week, so your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day—not just quick check-ins. I have a secure fenced-in backyard for playtime and exercise, and two friendly dogs of my own who love making new friends. If your pup enjoys socializing, they’ll have built-in playmates and lots of fun! Whether it’s walks, snuggles, or just a calm environment, I treat every dog like family. I’m here to give your pet the same love and care I give my own. I work from home most of the week, which means I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, play sessions, and plenty of attention. My two dogs already have a routine, so adding another pup fits right in with walks, feeding times, and backyard play. In My Home: I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of attention throughout the day since I work from home. Dogs enjoy supervised play in my secure fenced backyard, daily walks, and lots of snuggles. I follow each pet’s routine for feeding, medications, and special care instructions to keep them happy and stress-free. My two friendly dogs love having playmates, so social pups will have built-in companionship. In Your Home: If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I make sure to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. I treat your home with respect and keep everything tidy while ensuring your pet feels safe and loved. My kennel experience means I’m comfortable handling different temperaments and can adapt to your pet’s unique needs.

“From day one, Abby has shown genuine care, reliability, and a love for dogs. Abby is always on time, communicative, and sends little updates or photos that brighten my day and ease my mind. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible, trustworthy, and kind dog walker.”
About: I lived with dogs growing up and have owned my own dog for nearly two years now. I’ve dog sat/walked for friends and family many times over the years. I work full time, Monday-Friday from 8-5. Either my husband or I come home for lunch every day to let our dog out. She gets plenty of time to run around in the backyard while we are home. We have a fenced in backyard and a very social dog that we rescued almost two years ago. She’s always itching for a new friend to play with! She’s crate trained and good with dogs of all sizes.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I connect with them easily and love caring for them like family. I dog sit year round for multiple families in my neighborhood. I also love to donate my time to the shelter and support the homeless animals who are just wanting to be loved! I’m patient, responsible, and full of positive energy. Giving animals care brings me joy! Pet care is a big part of my daily routine—I have a high-energy, high-maintenance Border Collie, so I’m used to staying active, alert, and on a consistent schedule. My school and work revolve around her needs, and I genuinely enjoy the responsibility. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s a part of who I am. When caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s—I follow the owner’s instructions carefully to ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick to their usual routine, from feeding and walks to any special needs like medications or training. I take the time to build trust and give them attention, play, and care beyond the basics. I treat every animal like my own, always putting their well-being first.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was at least 10. I took an interest into animals since I was little, hence my veterinary career path focus. I would feed, bathe, walk, and do general care. Now I have 3 large breed dogs. I find ways to keep them healthy through different methods of exercise and finding a good diet for them. Additionally, I have worked as a veterinary assistant for 6 years and received my bachelors degree in animal science in that time. I am currently working full time and I am a graduate of SDSU. The best time that would work for me is the breaks on my days off. I have a 6-foot tall privacy fence. I always keep other dogs that aren’t mine on leashes and away from other dogs unless owners say it is okay. I always will asses the dogs behavior myself if I feel they may be uncomfortable or in danger to themselves or other dogs and people.
