“Olivia took great care of my dog while I was out of town! She was very communicative and sent me plenty of photos to keep me updated about my pup. I would definitely recommend her for your dog boarding needs.”
“My mixed breed Yorkie/Dachshund Lucy appears to have had too much fun! My Lucy is an extremely high energy rescue, so she can be a bit of a handful. She came home completely exhausted with little energy to expend. There is a big back yard for dogs to run and Michael shares his home with his furry guests, but it is a veryclean atmosphere. He even took Lucy with Maisie for a swim! She must have been very comfortable as she ate all of the food that I sent, which she typically does not do when we are separated. Michael appears to genuinely enjoy having furry friends around and his dog Maisie is a totally tolerant sweetie whom I know played to exhaustion herself. I will ask Michael again to care for Lucy.”
“Chuck was able to accommodate a last minute booking and was flexible with our pickup time when our return drive took a little longer than planned. Would definitely book again in the future!”
“So happy to have found Angie! She’s very responsive and kind! She made sure to send updates and is always communicating quick and clearly. We felt very comfortable leaving Lola and she seemed to have a blast with their family and dog.”
“We would absolutely recommend Marie and her family! This is the 2nd time our girl Izzy has stayed with them and we always feel so comfortable that she’s having a great time and getting the love she deserves”
“My baby, Archie, had a fantastic stay!!! This was the first time I’d left him with strangers and he and I felt right at home. I loved receiving my daily pics. To be honest, I think he’s now a little lonely without his friends to play with. We’ll have to go back soon!”
“Highly Recommend Paula and Chad! We experienced a pet sitting crisis with another sitter four days before our departure and after searching on Rover, contacted Paula and Chad for availability. They responded quickly and confirmed availability. We didn't have time for a meet 'n greet so we were sight unseen together on drop-off day. We were extremely comfortable right away after meeting them and were thankful they were able to take our dogs. Both of my pups settled in quickly and had such a great time with them, their dog and girls. We enjoyed receiving daily updates, pictures and videos of our fur-kids, knowing they were in very good hands. We will definitely reach out to them for another stay! Thanks, Paula and Chad!”
“The backyard gave Tucker lots of high quality play time and Desmond & Robyn were fantastic at sending me pictures of Tucker intermittently throughout the day. Next time I am in need of a sitter, Desmond & Robyn will definitely be my first choice. Highly recommend!”
“Maura and Shawn are very sweet. My pup had very nice time with them. Also there was a another dog Max ... both dogs played well. Milo was very happy and he was super tired and slept for hours .”
“Lisa is an excellent communicator, responded quickly, and sent lots of photos and videos throughout my pups’ stay. The updates gave me so much peace of mind and made it easy to relax knowing they were happy and well cared for. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”
“Aine and Jared are my go-to sitters here in Austin. Their attention to detail and communication is unmatched. Stella loves spending time at their house and playing with Fionn!”
“Alyssa was amazing taking care of my dog. she showered her cleaned her bowls and updated me every chance she got. 100% recommend! she was very understanding when i picked up my dog a little late”
“I appreciated Lilyanna’s attention to detail and her near-daily text updates of my dog Bella when I left her to her care for 5 days. Lilyanna has a fondness for animals in general and my Bella was well-taken care of. I will definitely use her services again!”
“Alice was absolutely wonderful with James! She kept me updated with messages and adorable photos, and it was clear James was happy and well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Molly loves her time with Denise. I felt nervous about dropping her off the first time but she became fast friends with Denise and her family. Denise kept me posted on a daily basis and put my mind at ease.”
“Rachel was so comfortable and nurturing with my pup. She knows a lot about dogs and knew what to do with my little guy. He was well cared for there and got lots of snuggles. I felt comfortable leaving him there in her hands. She was great to work with.”
“We had to fly to CA unexpectedly for a funeral and had never had to leave our sweet Buster Brown behind before. Did NOT want to leave him in a cold kennel somewhere and thankfully found Emma!! Suffice it to say Buster was more than comfortable sleeping on her comfy couches, taking wonderful walks w/her husband, playing with her adorable kids, and enjoying yummy snacks. Wholeheartedly recommend! Next best thing to HOME. ❤️ Thank you Emma and family!!”
“Yan did an amazing job taking care of Chance for 5 days! She was very attentive and made sure Chance was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. The backyard was really nice and had plenty of room for Chance to run around and enjoy himself. We also really appreciated how well Yan communicated throughout the stay. She regularly sent pictures and videos, which gave us peace of mind and let us see how much fun Chance was having. We would definitely trust Yan with Chance again and highly recommend her!”

“Best Rover ever! Alex has watched our cat Mika several times now and always takes care of her like she's his own cat. He has watched her overnight before and we feel confident she is safe, happy, and has a clean litter box! We get many pictures and updates each day, and we can tell she really likes Alex from all of the pictures of Mika on his lap and shoulders. Great prices and really helpful that he's been able to watch her even on last minute notice. Thank you Alex!”
“Carrie was amazing! Very quick communication, always on time. Super sweet to our 3 kitties and had no problem giving our diabetic kitty his oral medication. Would highly recommend Carrie to anyone and will be definitely booking her again in the future! :)”
“We are so lucky to have found Bella and Mary Beth! They are such a sweet duo and took excellent care of my cat for two weeks. It’s hard to be away from fur babies for so long, but Bella and her mom were so attentive, communicative, and made sure my little guy was well loved and cared for - it gave me so much peace of mind. Will definitely hire again when the time comes! Highly recommend.”
“Willow was fantastic! Both of my kitties immediately liked her and felt comfortable with her! That’s really all I can ask for but she also followed my feeding instructions to a T, and was very respectful of my space- even cleaned their food bowls for me before she left on her last visit! I will definitely be a repeat client 😄”
“I cannot say enough about Lauren and how great she is with our pets. We range from super friendly to shy and aggressive and she handled each with love and care and won everyone over. She took great care of them and cleaned up the occasional messes and left our house super clean. She cared for five dogs, three cats, and a duck across two houses and didn’t miss a beat. We will book her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I’ve grown up around cats and currently live with four of my own, so caring for them has always been a big part of my everyday life! Over the years, I’ve been a caregiver for cats of all ages and backgrounds, and I’ve gained a lot of experience working with different personalities and needs. Some of the cats I’ve cared for have had medical conditions, disabilities, anxiety, or behavioral challenges, and I’m very comfortable adjusting my approach depending on the cat. I have experience giving both oral and injectable medications, basic behavioral training, and I’m familiar with routines that include ongoing health monitoring, and more involved care when needed. On a daily basis, I handle everything from feeding schedules and litter box care to helping cats feel comfortable, safe, and understood in their environment. I’m used to cats who are independent, shy, reactive, or very affectionate, and I take the time to let each one adjust at their own pace. My goal is always to meet cats where they are, whether that means giving them space, building trust slowly, or just making sure their routine stays consistent while you’re away. I also provide updates so you can feel confident about how they’re doing while in my care. Most of all, I aim to provide a calm and positive experience for both you and your cat, and enjoy helping out in any way that I can! [P.S. If your cat enjoys walking, I can also take those bookings through my Dog Walking services]
About: I haven’t had as much experience with cat sitting myself as I had with dog sitting, but I have fostered cats and helped my sister cat sit for her neighbor (basic feeding). I have a few cats myself so I can get accustomed to your little fluffball pretty quick!
“Lacey is wonderful - my dog has a lot of energy, and Lacey does a great job of getting some of that energy out when I have long days at work. Plus, she takes great pictures! Thank you, Lacey!”
About: I got two lovely little kittens when I was just 8 years old and gained full responsibility of one of them at 10. This included cleaning her litter box regularly, feeding and watering her, and making sure she got lots of love! The picture shown is with my current baby Chief who I adore (so much that I included him in my senior photos!), I love teaching him tricks and taking so many pictures of him he's the cutest! My baby has had tummy issues in the past which I pushed to get him to the vet, my little skinny baby was eating everything in his sight then throwing it up! I was determined to get him healthy and so I did just that. I will let you know if I find anything appearing wrong with your cat when I take care of them! It is my duty to keep all the babies of the world happy and healthy 🥰
“Lilyanna was amazing! Even though both of us had hectic weeks going into my time away from home she was communicative and she sent so many pictures of my girls. When I got home they were happy and relaxed and I could tell they had been well cared for. Thanks Lilyanna!”
“Can’t thank Carla enough!!! She took such good care of our four cats while we were out of town. She sent updates each day and pictures for my daughter to enjoy, since she was missing her pets while out of town. Highly recommend Carla if you need someone to take care of your furry family!”
About: always loved cats and have had plenty of experience caring for them! Growing up, I regularly looked after my neighbor’s cat whenever they were out of town, making sure they had plenty of attention, food, and care while their family was away. Throughout college, I lived with two cats of my own along with my dog, so I’m very comfortable caring for cats in a home with other pets. I understand that every cat has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to give them the attention, playtime, affection, or space they need to feel comfortable.

“Luna was very happy when I dropped her at Emma’s and when my husband picked her up. Emma sent pics during the day and let me know that Luna was having fun and getting along with the other dogs who were there. We will definitely use Emma again!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life and have always had a dog as part of my family. I currently have a senior dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets—especially when they’re family! I’ve been taking care of neighbors’ pets and watching our family dogs while they’re out of town since high school, which has given me years of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs. I absolutely love animals and would be so happy to provide your pet with the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. I always take the time to get to know each pet individually so they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, extra playtime, companionship, or just someone to check in and make sure they’re happy and comfortable, I’m here to help. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, responsible hands. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your pup and become someone you can count on! 🐾❤️ I currently work part-time outside of the home in the mornings, and I work from home for the remainder of my workday. This gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day to provide your pup with the attention and care they need, including walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I’m able to build pet care into my daily routine and will make sure your dog gets regular attention rather than being left alone for long periods. I’m happy to work with your pup’s usual routine and schedule to help them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away! I live in a comfortable home where your pup can feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. While we don’t have a fenced-in yard, I’m happy to always take dogs outside on a leash for potty breaks and fresh air, or take them for a walk if they need some extra exercise and enrichment. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I have plenty of space for a crate if your pup is crate-trained or prefers having their own familiar space. For drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, fresh water, potty breaks, and playtime or exercise based on their needs. I take safety seriously and will always keep your pet supervised and secure while in my care. My goal is to make your pup feel comfortable and give you peace of mind while you’re away.
“Basil had an awesome time with playing Louie and friends! He got to play ball, go on a forest walk, and had a safe, active doggie daycare experience. We would definitely book again with Julie & Justin.”
About: I have been pet sitting since age 12. I have experience with farm animals, fish, gerbils, reptiles, cats, and dogs. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I have taken care of senior dogs that need certain medications as well. I would love to help with any pet needs. I am focusing on online school, so I’m home most of the time. I will request a schedule or a planner from the pet parents that I follow. The planner will go over what time to feed, walk, and any other special instructions. I have a fenced in yard. I have 3 dogs and 1 cat to keep your fur baby company. 2 Shih Tzus, and 1 border collie. They are extremely friendly and never been an issue for any other pet family.
“Frances was fantastic! She kept us in the loop about how our beloved puppy was doing all day while in daycare. We appreciate the amount of activity she initiated, and the fact that her dogs made great friends to help calm our dog. Would definitely recommend!”
“Olivia was a life saver! We’re out of town and had to visit the hospital so we had to figure out what to do with our dog! Olivia responded right away and we were at her house in less than 10 min dropping off our pup! She was very kind and we know our dog was well cared for while we were out. It was too easy! Thank you so so much Olivia!”
“Absolutely recommend Daniel, My pet absolutely loves spending time with him and gets so excited every time he sees him. He is also incredibly knowledgeable about dog behavior and care, which gives me total peace of mind whenever I’m away. He is professional and very reliable. He also keeps me posted by sharing photos and videos!”
“Christopher was great taking care of our younger puppy for the day! We did a meet and greet a few days before so our puppy was familiar and comfortable with his house prior to daycare. He sent lots of pictures right after drop-off so we could see our puppy was happy and playing with the other dogs and even a cat. We'll definitely be bringing our puppy back when we need daycare going forward!”
“Epiphany & Josh were AMAZING! Our pups were well cared for & had an awesome time! Really appreciated & enjoyed the videos they sent letting us know how they were doing. Definitely recommend them ... Five stars & 4 paws up!! ??”
“Hey everyone, Denise is the pet sitter you want for your pet babies! My dog Daisy was so excited to go to her home each day. Before we even got the truck stopped she would jump down to the floorboard ready to get out! Denise is so accommodating and we just felt safe leaving Daisy with her. You won’t be disappointed!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our Yan! She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Our pet was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Hello! My name is Jade and I would love to meet your furry friends! I started Rover a few years ago but had to stop due to time constraints from my full time job, but now I’m committing all my time to pet care. Currently, I have three cats and two dogs, who are all rescues. I’ve had both of my dogs since they were only a few months old. So I understand the trials and tribulations of puppyhood…puppy training, crate training, obedience training, and leash walking. Hiccup and Paris both love other dogs! They have experience with dogs of all sizes! Hiccup is more of a cuddler and couch potato. Paris is higher energy and loves to play. They would be so excited to have a dog come stay with them. Feel free to set up a meet and greet! I stay at home full time now and my husband also works from home. So your pet will have constant adult supervision during their stay. I have a fenced backyard and a fenced play area in my neighborhood. I also live really close to a large public park with walking trails.
About: Hello! I am a dog owner and sitter ready to help you care for your family pet. I grew up with golden retrievers and always enjoy spending more time with my four legged friends. I have experience with many dogs, all size, shapes and personalities. I love to walk and hike so your pal will become mine as we get lots of fun exercise when we go on walks. For anyone looking for a day care or boarding, I currently have my best friend Lucky, a 14 year old small dog how enjoys napping, eating treats and going on long strolls. We have a large fully fenced in dog park right out our back door. Chill dogs over 4 years of age are best for in home care to mesh well with my Sr pup. Let me join your team and your dog and I will thank you! Over the the last 10 years I have cared for lots of dogs and a few cats. I am available for walks, drop in play time or boarding. I love to take dogs on long walks, play ball and enjoy quality time playing in the house. My experience includes working with dogs of all sizes from big to small, in all setting including urban apartments and larger homes. I enjoy dogs with all types of personalities, but active dogs and I get along best since I always like to be outside and on the move. Why I love dog sitting I got my first puppy when I was only 8 years old and fell in love at first site. I great up with K.C. my golden retriever and loved every second of it. I have many friends and family with dogs that I love to play with and often sit for. My experience administering medication Yes, I have worked with several dogs that have needed to take medication or follow a special diet so have no problem keeping them healthy. My own dog has had health challenges that require a variety of medications and first aid. I work from home from 11 to 6pm. I am available for walks and drop in visit through out the day around my daily schedule, but mornings and evenings are easiest. I have a large apartment with a dog bed on the balcony and a large dog park that is fully fenced in outside which is great for chasing balls and squirrel watching. I am available for frequent potty breaks and a few short walks during the day as needed.
About: Hi, I'm Jasmin and I'd love to be your trusted pet sitter! I’ve had always pets since I was little from dog to ferret and from cat to pot-belly pig. I used to be an assistant at a organic farm with farm animals back in Germany and for many years I volunteered in a animal shelter when I was a teenager. My parents love pets so I learned a lot when I was younger and it gave me the knowledge that I can add to my own pet experience that I have now as an adult. I have dachshund we adopted locally, a cat that we adopted from Mauritius 7 years ago and 3 guinea pigs that yea, we adopted locally as well. As you read, we moved from Germany to Michigan and soon I would figure that finding a liable Pet Sitter wouldn't be the easiest task, especially after I had a very poor experience with one of our guinea pigs, so I joined Rover. Through my own experience finding a liable and trustful Pet Sitter I totally understand what you as a Pet Parent are looking for. I offer day care, boarding, drop-ins, house sittings and walks. No matter what you're looking for, I'm here to help. I currently work minimal and flexible hours so I have plenty of free time to take care of pets and be able to communicate regularly. Communication is the key and to establish trust I would like to meet you and your pet before you leave, if possible. While taking care of your pet, I'll send text updates with lots of photos so you'll have no worries and know your pet is in good hands and doing well! Because that's what matters the most!

About: Time and love! Recently retired with nothing but time and excitement to care for others’ beloved pets, especially because I don’t currently have any of my own. I have a large, fenced in backyard in the quiet hill country. There is a lovely trail for taking walks, and I love to take the pups for rides in the car! I’m experienced in administering and staying on top of medications and treatments. My daughter has two dogs that she sometimes brings for visits. So, if your dog is social, there is an opportunity for playtime with fellow furry friends. Caring for your pets would be my one and only priority. I spend the majority of time at home, and exercise is very important to me so I hope your dog loves to walk! Safety and affection are priority. Keeping a close eye on your pet and always making sure all needs are met is a guarantee when you put them in my care!
“Very happy with Jade's service! She takes wonderful care of Luna, sends detailed updates, and pays close attention to details like fresh water and securing the home before leaving. Luna loves her and gets excited whenever I tell her Jade is coming.”
About: Hello everyone!, my name is Dominique and I have always had a dog in my life. My earliest memories consist of watching and helping my dog give birth and raise 10 puppies when I was 4 years old. Volunteering at the Austin Animal Center as a teenager was a natural step in my love for animals. I walked the small dogs outside for bathroom breaks and playtime while keeping puppies occupied when their crates were getting cleaned. I also walked the large dogs from their suites to the group play area and supervised multiple large dogs’ interactions. My friends have been trusting me to care for their animals and homes for 7 years now, and I have absolutely loved it! My experience ranges from small dogs to big dogs, puppies to seniors, and I have administered oral medication numerous times. The longest I have house sat was a week straight and the most animals I have cared for at a time is 4. I can’t wait to meet you and your babies❤️ I am currently working part time as a babysitter so I have a lot of availability for walks, feeds, hangouts, play, and cuddles! I am available seven days a week for feedings, walks, and daytime care starting at 10:30 am and into the night. For housesitting visits, I can come and stay at your house Friday night, Saturday night, and holidays for overnight care. First of all, I respect, follow, and complete all written or spoken directions on how to care for your pet and take care of your house. A typical sitting appointment for me is being there to provide food/water, frequent bathroom breaks, outside play, inside play (if given permission), a walk around the neighborhood (if requested), and a movie night with unlimited cuddles 🥰. I believe that it’s important to follow your pets’ cues so if they need extra attention, I am there to play or run around and if they need more space/alone time, I give them that time adjust. While we are having nap/down time, I will complete any household task asked of me which can consist of gathering the mail, putting out trash cans, watering the plants, etc. My favorite part of this experience is forming a bond with clients both human and dog so you can feel comfortable leaving your home in a trusted person’s hands!
“Carrie was absolutely wonderful! My dog is shy and she did well with making her feel comfortable. Carrie would send multiple pictures and gave her lots of love! She also realized we would be getting home late and she left a light on for my dog as well as us! How thoughtful!”
About: I have grown up around animals and currently care for four cats, so pet care has always been a big part of my daily life! Over the years, I’ve also helped neighbors with dog walking and pet sitting, and volunteered with animal shelters, which have given me hands-on experience with a wide range of animals and temperaments. I especially enjoy working with cats and have experience with all ages and backgrounds, including cats with specific medical or behavioral needs. I’m comfortable with administering oral and injectable medications, and I’m very attentive to routine, comfort, and stress levels, especially for anxious pets. In addition to cat care, I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Currently, I am most familiar with Labs and Doodles, but have experience walking dogs of different sizes (including puppies!) and breeds through pet sitting and helping neighbors, and I’m confident handling structured walks and daily care routines. I currently work part-time and am in college, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent communication and frequent updates while I’m with your pets! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and prioritize their normal routine so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. At this time, I am not boarding dogs in my home. For cat boarding, however, I provide a calm, indoor-focused environment where safety and supervision are always the priority.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and am very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. My mom was an obedience trainer, so I’ve picked up helpful skills with basic training and handling, especially with younger or energetic dogs. I’m reliable with house sitting, responsible, and treat every pet like my own. I’m comfortable adapting to different animals’ needs and always prioritize keeping them safe, calm, and well cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I can accommodate morning and evening check-ins, feeding, walks, and any other routines your pet needs. I’m able to plan my time around each booking to make sure your pet gets reliable and attentive care. I offer in-home pet care including check-ins, overnight stays, and house sitting for both dogs and cats. I focus on following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible; feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and plenty of attention based on their personality and needs. I also make sure your home is respected and kept clean and secure while you’re away. At this time, I do not offer boarding in my home since I currently live with multiple dogs and want to ensure a calm and comfortable environment for all animals involved.
“Duncan quickly responded to our request and took great care of Gigi during a walk during crummy weather, even drying her and cleaning the mud from her feet afterward! He is a dog lover :) We are so grateful he was willing to walk her multiple times a week while we are busy.”
About: I grew up with a dog until I was 18 (Westie - Minnie) and then after college was adopted by a wonderful rescue sphynx (PyeWacket). Over then next 20 or so years I have had 4 sphyx cats (PyeWacket, Forty Two, Tesla and Cairo) and 1 Lyikoi (Cypher). Over the last year my house has had 4 puppies (from 8 weeks), 2 turtles, 2 Guinea pigs, 2 full size dogs 6 cats and multiple fish. I also often house sit for a very smart chihuahua named Mazie. Currently in between jobs so my schedule is fairly open. Like early and late walks due to the heat but open for anything. Open to late night feedings if needed. I treat your animals like they were my own. Love to play, hang out and what ever your little one needs. Need to make sure they know they are loved.
About: I grew up with a wide variety of animals but especially cats and dogs. I’ve been dog sitting and walking as a side hustle since freshman year of high school in 2016. I moved out and got certified as a wag walker in early 2023. It’s been a great side hustle over the years and I’ve picked up additional skills like training and grooming. I also have two cats as an adult. What has changed currently is leaving my full time job in hopes of connecting with things I love like animals. My parents no longer live in state and I miss my dog friends. I make my own schedule and most of my income is currently from pet care. Open to odd jobs and odd hours, genuinely love the work. I have diagnosed ocd so if you give me a list I will stick to it. I try to go above and beyond when it comes to care and that extra step. Bonding with the animal and understanding their specific personality is highly important to me.

About: Loving, Reliable & Experienced Pet Care on My Peaceful Ranch Animals have always been at the heart of my life — truly, I can’t remember a time without them!

For the past 20 years, I’ve been raising, training, and showing German Shorthaired Pointers as an active member of the SAGSPC and NGSPC. I’ve also been a dedicated horse owner and rider for over 30 years, which has deepened my understanding of animal behavior, patience, and trust. My philosophy is simple: positive training, gentle structure, and lots of love create calm, confident, and well-mannered companions. At home on my small Wimberley ranch, I share my days with 4 horses, 3 dogs, and one spoiled cat — my beloved family who remind me daily why I do this work.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life.

From playful puppies and energetic adults to sweet seniors, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. While I’ve primarily owned larger breeds, I also have experience caring for small breeds. My goal is simple: to give your pets the comfort, attention, and love they deserve while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I am a stay at home mom with a house full of animals too. I have a 1 year old Great Pyrenees Poodle mix and a 14 year old Shepard mix. I also have a ball python and leopard gecko as a part of our family pack! Pet care fits naturally into my routine as a stay-at-home mom. I’m available weekdays from 8:30 AM–2:30 PM, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care, walks, playtime, and companionship. I do have some evening availability with advance notice. I love incorporating animals into my day and making sure each pet receives the individual attention, care, and affection they deserve while their family is away. 🐾 I treat your home with the same care and respect I give your pets. I’m happy to tailor care to your pet’s individual needs, whether that means neighborhood walks, playtime, potty breaks in the yard, or simply providing companionship and attention. I’m flexible and happy to follow your routines and instructions so your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I can also offer basic brushing and light grooming as an add-on when needed. 🐾
