About: If there’s a pet in the room, that’s probably where you’ll find me. I’ve always loved animals, they’re not just pets they’re family, full of personality, and such an important part of our lives. Every animal is different, and I enjoy getting to know their little quirks, routines, and what makes them happiest. Being trusted to care for someone’s pet is something I truly value, and I treat that responsibility with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. Animals are a big part of my everyday life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just hanging out and keeping them company. I plan my days so I can give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I stick closely to the owner’s instructions, respect their space, and focus on keeping their pets comfortable and happy.

“By far the best rover experience so far. Not only did Christina and her family take our dog, Truffle, last minute but they treated him like their own. With a big fenced in backyard and numerous walks around the neighborhood, Truffle had a blast. She sent consistent communications on how Truffle was doing as well as making sure her kiddos respected and knew how to handle a bigger dog. Above and beyond, would easily recommend Christina!”

“I recently used Kacey for boarding service and I cannot say enough great things about it. From start to finish, the experience was top-notch and my dogs was extremely well taken When Kacey pick my dogs up she went above and beyond to make both myself and my dogs feel comfortable. She took the time to ask a lot of questions about my dog's routine, preferences, and any special needs. I felt confident leaving my furry friends in her care. Throughout my dog's stay, I received regular updates and photos to keep me informed and at ease. It was clear that she was giving my dog plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I never once worried about my dog's well-being. When I picked up my dogs, they was happy, healthy, and clearly had a great time. Overall, I highly recommend this dog boarding service. I felt confident and at ease leaving my dog in their care and will definitely be using their services again in the future. Five stars all around.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for over 14 years, and honestly, I love them more than most people! I'm a lifelong pet lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, reptiles (even snakes and iguanas), and more. I currently have two sweet Shelties and one friendly cat, so your pet will have some calm, furry friends to hang with (or their own space if preferred). I also have a 6-year-old son who adores animals and has grown up around them. We have a huge fenced-in backyard that's perfect for running, playing, and sunbathing. I'm home most of the time, so your pet will get tons of attention, cuddles, and love. Whether they need a calm environment or enjoy being social, I'll make sure they feel safe and happy. I'm comfortable giving medications, following detailed feeding routines, and working with shy or sensitive pets. I treat every animal like family. I offer: • Safe, loving in-home boarding • Doggy daycare • Flexible drop-off and pick-up times • A clean, cozy indoor environment • Plenty of outdoor space for play and potty breaks Your pet will be cared for with patience, love, and experience. I'd love to learn more about them - feel free to reach out with any questions! I’m home most of the day, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Your dog will have plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I also have two gentle Shelties and a pet-loving child at home, so there’s always someone around for companionship, snuggles, or play. Whether your pet needs a quiet nap space or lots of active time in the yard, I’ll be right there to keep them safe, loved, and comfortable. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. In my home, animals are cared for with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs. I currently have two gentle Shelties and a friendly cat, and they help create a calm, animal-loving environment. Pets have access to a cozy indoor space where they can relax, nap, or play, and we have a large fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, potty routine, and any special instructions — including medications if needed. I offer crate-free stays unless requested, and I’m happy to accommodate pets who prefer more structure, quiet time, or social play. Whether your pet needs extra cuddles, room to run, or just a calm, safe place to stay, I’m here to give them the care they deserve.💘

About: I’ve grown up around multiple cats over the years that were mostly tabbies. Some were strictly indoor and some liked the best of both worlds. I started out taking care of my grandmother’s cats and then got my own when I was 11, taking care of them into their senior years. She had that cat lady instinct and taught me how to be patient and compassionate towards our feline friends. Feedings, cleaning litter boxes, and quality playtime are necessities for every cat and you can be assured I’ll give your fur baby the best care possible. Every cat I’ve had has also wound up being besties with the family dog, so if you have both, I’m your girl!

About: I’ve had experience taking care of small animals and big animals since I grew up with both. I currently have older dogs at the house but I also have a pup of my own here as well. I am currently not employed and love to work with animals so this is what I chose to do, I love taking care of animals and always have. I’m very used to taking animals out on walks, feeding them, and loving on them since that is what I do with my own. I treat others animals the same way I’d want mine to be treated.

About: I have been taking care of my own dogs since I was young and love to be around all animals! I used to nanny for a family with 5 kids and they had a wonderful dog that I always helped to care for! Feeding and taking him to the groomers and vet appointments…all things that I was lucky to get to help with! I also used to care for 2 cats (both needing to take medication) and a bull dog on a daily basis! I have a Jack Russell (that just passed away) myself that I had for about 10+ years and no kids do she was my only fur baby! I have recently in the past year gotten a brand new puppy named Sugar! She is a beagle/terrier/lab mix and 25 pounds of Adorableness! She is so sweet And absolutely my little girl, as she follows me everywhere and tries to be wherever I am, and always under foot!!! She’s a little skittish and still all puppy at eight months! So I am no stranger to puppy needs at all! I also have Bella, who is a pit/beagle mix and she is a little over a year and a half old! She is 60 pounds of crazy but happy and smart and always at my husband side! What a love bug! But remember, with pets, there is no personal space! Lol I love pets of all kinds and will care for them as if they were my own! Snuggles are free!!! I am currently a part-time private nanny, to a bunch of different families who may need care for their little ones day a week, and my schedule is always changing from week to week so my availability will always be changing. But,I will try to keep my Rover calendar up-to-date as I hope more of you reach out! The plan is is turn this into a full-time gig so I will have probably more availability as time goes on towards the end of this year, but I’m hoping to find some regular clients that will book with me on a consistent basis! Plus, I’m really looking forward to all the pet snuggles! I am always very mindful of the time for feedings and walks…any medication will be given correctly and timely…I will make sure your home is locked up after I leave from a walk and/or feeding! Please know that I will do my best to. Gain the trust of the animal! Cats too! I do highly recommend a meet & greet ahead of time so we can meet pet parents and also meet dog(s)! Let’s them see me and hopefully remember me and feel comfortable with me in their house! (*Please note: House Sitting rates apply to stays where overnight accommodations (a clean bed/space) are provided in your home. If you prefer daytime/evening visits only without overnight stays, please book via my Drop-In rates!)

About: Hi my name is Joyce and I love working with animals as I have many animals of my own. I have a pup, a baby hamster, a turtle and a school of fish. I love animals and I treat them like they are my children. My skills are walking my pup (this includes a nice walk, and picking up their feces with a plastic bag), bathing them when needed, feeding them and playing with them. I make sure my fish and turtle are fed and their tanks are cleaned and up to date. I also make sure my hamster is fed and his cage is cleaned and up to date. All other animals are treated the same with lots of loyalty, much respect and lots of love. I’m currently working part-time on the weekends, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and show them all the attention they need! I Have two friendly pups that will keep your fur baby company! But if your dog don’t get along with other dogs I can keep them separated to make your fur baby is more comfortable. I’m currently working part-time. So I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pups and give them all the attention they need!! :) :) I have a nice size back yard and I also got a pup of my own that can keep your fur baby company! She’s very playful and If needed I can easily crate her.

About: Hi! I'm an experienced animal care professional with hands-on experience working in both a veterinary clinic and a boarding kennel. During my time at the kennel, I cared for cats of all ages—from playful kittens to senior cats—including those with medical conditions and special care needs. I'm experienced in administering medications, monitoring for changes in health, and ensuring each cat receives the individualized attention they deserve. I understand that cats thrive on routine and a calm environment, so I take the time to build trust and make them feel comfortable while you're away. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, quiet companionship, or simply having someone reliable to care for them, I'll provide compassionate, dependable care and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your feline family member is in experienced hands.

“This is the first time I’ve had to board our 2 cats and our dog. We wanted them to be together but knew the sounds of a kennel would stress them, especially our kitties. Am so happy to find Rover.com but especially to find Ashley! From our initial texts to talking in person, she is so friendly. You can tell she loves animals after seeing her place and meeting her dog. She sent photos of our pets with updates to assure us they were happy. We feared they wanted to stay with her and not come home.”

About: I have built my life around loving and caring for animals. I have been with my local SPCA for 11 years and have been president for 8 years. My family has rescued and loved many animals throughout our lives and I would like nothing more than to extend that love to your pets. I am available at all times as I have retired and most of my SPCA volunteer work is done from my home. If for whatever reason I am not going to be there I will make sure you will be informed prior to my absence and my husband is available in the rare instance I am not. I have a dog boarding facility that can house up to 17 dogs of all sizes. There is a large outdoor play area and nice cozy accommodations including indoor and outdoor runs. Dogs have access to one on one play (including private walks) as well as group play depending on your preference and dog temperament.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for over 14 years, and honestly, I love them more than most people! I'm a lifelong pet lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, reptiles (even snakes and iguanas), and more. I currently have two sweet Shelties and one friendly cat, so your pet will have some calm, furry friends to hang with (or their own space if preferred). I also have a 6-year-old son who adores animals and has grown up around them. We have a huge fenced-in backyard that's perfect for running, playing, and sunbathing. I'm home most of the time, so your pet will get tons of attention, cuddles, and love. Whether they need a calm environment or enjoy being social, I'll make sure they feel safe and happy. I'm comfortable giving medications, following detailed feeding routines, and working with shy or sensitive pets. I treat every animal like family. I offer: • Safe, loving in-home boarding • Doggy daycare • Flexible drop-off and pick-up times • A clean, cozy indoor environment • Plenty of outdoor space for play and potty breaks Your pet will be cared for with patience, love, and experience. I'd love to learn more about them - feel free to reach out with any questions! I’m home most of the day, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Your dog will have plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I also have two gentle Shelties and a pet-loving child at home, so there’s always someone around for companionship, snuggles, or play. Whether your pet needs a quiet nap space or lots of active time in the yard, I’ll be right there to keep them safe, loved, and comfortable. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. In my home, animals are cared for with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs. I currently have two gentle Shelties and a friendly cat, and they help create a calm, animal-loving environment. Pets have access to a cozy indoor space where they can relax, nap, or play, and we have a large fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, potty routine, and any special instructions — including medications if needed. I offer crate-free stays unless requested, and I’m happy to accommodate pets who prefer more structure, quiet time, or social play. Whether your pet needs extra cuddles, room to run, or just a calm, safe place to stay, I’m here to give them the care they deserve.💘

“Eliane and her husband were more than accommodating. I have a 12 year old dog who struggles with anxiety so finding a family to take care of my baby was a bit stressful. Upon messaging Elaine about her availability she immediately proposed a meet and greet. I was nervous Sepia wouldn’t get along with her own two dogs but it went wonderfully! Elaine and her husband were flexible with my tentative schedule and offered to host sepia for the night when I found out I needed to leave extremely early the next morning. With my crazy work schedule, I will 100% go straight to Elaine and Steven. Sepia clearly made herself at home ? and was spoiled with treats and endless love.”

About: Lifelong Pet Lover with Years of Experience Hi, I’ve been around pets my entire life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I started walking and feeding my family dogs at just 7 years old, twice a day, making sure they had plenty of playtime and fresh air in our grassy yard. From playful puppies to gentle giants, I’ve handled dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m confident with potty training and establishing healthy routines for any breed. Since I was 15, I’ve also cared for cats, both my family’s and my friends’. I keep litter boxes clean and ensure they stay off surfaces where they might break or damage anything, all while making sure they feel safe and cared for. Whether it’s a long walk, a cozy cuddle, or responsible in-home care, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’d love the chance to care for your furry friend. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time throughout the week to give your pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday drop-in, or overnight stay, I’m available and committed to working around your needs. Your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked, they’ll have my full attention and care. Comfortable, Spacious, and Pet-Friendly Home Your pet will feel right at home here. I have a large backyard and a spacious home with plenty of room for dogs to play, explore, and relax. While the yard is not fenced, I always supervise outdoor time to ensure pets stay safe and secure. If you use training tools like an e-collar and provide them, I’m happy to use them responsibly and only according to your guidance. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, just like family.

“Christine and Nick are absolutely incredible with our German Shepherd, Aurora. This was her first time staying away from home and socializing with other dogs, and they made her feel completely safe, loved, and part of the family. They followed her routine, handled her quirks with confidence and compassion, and kept us updated the entire time. Aurora always comes home exhausted, happy, and clearly well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found such trustworthy and experienced sitters— Highly recommend!”

We will absolutely reach out to Kayce if we are in the area again and 100% recommend her services to everyone!

Most recently I pet sat regularly in Woodlake for several families including senior pets on medication and special needs pets, overnight sits in the home and taking care of multiple animals for a week at a time. I am compassionate and kind and will follow whatever guidelines you already have in place for your kids to not back track on training. I'm currently available full-time to help your pets be happy while you're away. My schedule is flexible for boarding, drop-ins, walking and more. We have two friendly dogs that will help keep your fur baby company if so desired. Otherwise they can be separated if need be in different areas of the home or crated away from one another for down time.

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats since I was a kiddo. Currently we have one senior mostly deaf and going blind dog and a sweet cat. I previously took my dog on a mile or two walk every day. Currently, he just walks in our culdesac. I started my own pet sitting business in my 20’s after working for a small pet company. I also was working FT with adults with disabilities. I have cared for a wide variety of animals even giving a diabetic cat shots and caring for a blind and a deaf dog. I’ve also had the opportunity to take care of rabbits, birds and even a very social ferret. Once I became busy raising my own family, I stopped working FT but continued watching friends’ and neighbors’ animals on the side. I’m the type of person who stops to pet other people’s dogs when I’m out on a walk. ❤️ My husband and I have 5 kids, two of which live at home. I’m also a grandma with two grandsons! As a family we’ve always had cats and dogs as well as guinea pigs, gerbils, a turtle and a lizard over the years. I’m currently working very part-time so have lots of time to love on your animals. I’m available most days and on the weekends as well. I love walking in all kinds of weather and would love to have a pooch or two walk with me. I’d love to walk your dogs and/or play with them in your backyard and hang out with them while you’re away. I also would love to give your kitties lots of attention.

About: Between my husband and I, we have had and cared for so many animals! Dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, hermit crabs... the list goes on. We love animals so much; in fact we have three dogs of our own. We have a large fenced in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood - perfect for walking! I work on the weekends, and my husband works during the week. Although this schedule may be challenging for us, it is perfect for your pet! Someone is almost ALWAYS home! I promise, we will love and care for every single one of your babies as if they were our own! I work on the weekends, so I am happy to pop in to check on your furry friend or take him or her for a nice walk during the week! I have a large fenced in yard and three very energetic dogs for your furry friend to play with! I also have a separate dog run if your pup doesn't get along with other dogs.

About: Whether your precious purse pooch needs a structured routine while you’re at work or you have to leave your gigantic baby home while going on vacation, I’ve got you covered! I have 10 years of experience taking care of my own pets (cats and dogs!) and friends and family have trusted me to feed, play, and meet their dogs needs while they’re away. I work part time and am saving up to go back to college in the Fall, so until then my availability is pretty open to help. Whether its early mornings, nights, or weekend stays, I am flexible when it comes to my schedule and value consistent communication when changes come up. I have reliable transportation and can accommodate last minute needs or plan for more structured, longer care. At the moment, I prefer to take care of pets in the comfort of their own home since I don't have a big enough space to invite your pets into. You know your pet best and sticking to what they're familiar with as far as feedings, exercise, and other care is what I will prioritize. My approach is calm, steady, and confident. High energy doesn't overwhelm me and big personalities don't intimidate me. Did you think of your feisty cat with the big attitude just now? Or is your dog sprinting a relay race from room to room as you read this? I would love to meet them! I focus on creating a balanced environment where dogs feel safe, comfortable, and understood.

About: If there’s a pet in the room, that’s probably where you’ll find me. I’ve always loved animals, they’re not just pets they’re family, full of personality, and such an important part of our lives. Every animal is different, and I enjoy getting to know their little quirks, routines, and what makes them happiest. Being trusted to care for someone’s pet is something I truly value, and I treat that responsibility with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. Animals are a big part of my everyday life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just hanging out and keeping them company. I plan my days so I can give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I stick closely to the owner’s instructions, respect their space, and focus on keeping their pets comfortable and happy.

About: My love of dogs started when I rescued my first dog. Since then, I have acquired a load of knowledge not only in how to care for them, but also how to train them. I can provide mental and physical stimulation for your furry friend and bring most of my own equipment - I can also use the tools your pet is most familiar with. I can assess your pet to determine what your pet may need for stimulation, make suggestions for daily care, and learn at least some of their body language. My dogs and I are always interacting whenever I'm home, but most of our intentional fun/training happens outdoors daily. This includes both training and walking. I also help some of my friends train their dogs whenever our schedules allow. I believe your dog should ALWAYS be in training and you can make almost any situation a training opportunity. Your pets can be treated as my own and/or according to your specific instructions. Do you have multiple dogs that need to be separated? No problem. Can your dogs be together but need to be supervised so tension doesn't continue to build? I got you covered there too! Does your dog pull too much on walks, need to learn how to act in-doors? I can work with your dog on those things as well in addition to other things!

About: I have been taking care of my own dogs since I was young and love to be around all animals! I used to nanny for a family with 5 kids and they had a wonderful dog that I always helped to care for! Feeding and taking him to the groomers and vet appointments…all things that I was lucky to get to help with! I also used to care for 2 cats (both needing to take medication) and a bull dog on a daily basis! I have a Jack Russell (that just passed away) myself that I had for about 10+ years and no kids do she was my only fur baby! I have recently in the past year gotten a brand new puppy named Sugar! She is a beagle/terrier/lab mix and 25 pounds of Adorableness! She is so sweet And absolutely my little girl, as she follows me everywhere and tries to be wherever I am, and always under foot!!! She’s a little skittish and still all puppy at eight months! So I am no stranger to puppy needs at all! I also have Bella, who is a pit/beagle mix and she is a little over a year and a half old! She is 60 pounds of crazy but happy and smart and always at my husband side! What a love bug! But remember, with pets, there is no personal space! Lol I love pets of all kinds and will care for them as if they were my own! Snuggles are free!!! I am currently a part-time private nanny, to a bunch of different families who may need care for their little ones day a week, and my schedule is always changing from week to week so my availability will always be changing. But,I will try to keep my Rover calendar up-to-date as I hope more of you reach out! The plan is is turn this into a full-time gig so I will have probably more availability as time goes on towards the end of this year, but I’m hoping to find some regular clients that will book with me on a consistent basis! Plus, I’m really looking forward to all the pet snuggles! I am always very mindful of the time for feedings and walks…any medication will be given correctly and timely…I will make sure your home is locked up after I leave from a walk and/or feeding! Please know that I will do my best to. Gain the trust of the animal! Cats too! I do highly recommend a meet & greet ahead of time so we can meet pet parents and also meet dog(s)! Let’s them see me and hopefully remember me and feel comfortable with me in their house! (*Please note: House Sitting rates apply to stays where overnight accommodations (a clean bed/space) are provided in your home. If you prefer daytime/evening visits only without overnight stays, please book via my Drop-In rates!)

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, including my own pets and my professional experience as a kennel attendant at a pet daycare. I’m experienced with walks, feeding routines, baths, medication, and providing care for pets with different needs and temperaments. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to give your pet the same attention, patience, and love I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I plan my days around making sure each pet gets proper care, playtime, walks, and check-ins without feeling rushed. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. I pay attention to their behavior, needs, and any instructions provided to make sure they receive the best care possible.

About: I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or sticking to a detailed care schedule, I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and in good hands. I’m currently working fully remote, and I choose my own hours, so I’m available anytime of day. I’m willing to work with you and your pet’s needs to ensure your furry friend remains on their consistent routines. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home and stick to their normal routine. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of potty breaks or a clean litter box, exercise and playtime, and lots of love and attention. I also administer medications if needed, reinforce any routines you’ve established, and keep your home tidy by cleaning up after your pet. After every visit, I’ll send you updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds since I was a little kid. I would babysit neighbors kids and take care of their animals while they were away. Friends, family, and neighbors have all relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their best friends. I have experience in caring for animals of all ages! I will give them plenty of love, play time, walks, snacks (if its okay with you), and will treat them as if they are my own. I live in an apartment complex with its own dog park and I am a frequent visitor to Ruff Canine Club and Barker Field dog park as my 1 year old Brussels Griffon loves to play there! I have two 13 year old kitties who are very chill. They have been around dogs their entire lives and are unphased by them.

About: Hi! My name is Doris, and I truly enjoy caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that pets are family, so I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and kindness I would give my own. I was the proud dog mom of a Miniature Pinscher named Penny, and I adored her like family. Caring for her was a meaningful part of my daily life. Every Sunday, I prepared her fresh meals—meal-prepping wet food to mix with her dry kibble to ensure a balanced and enjoyable diet. I built my routine around her needs, including walks before leaving home and as soon as I returned, along with consistent activity throughout the day to keep her happy and engaged. I personally trained her, and she was crate-trained, comfortably settling in at night. She knew a variety of commands, including roll over, paw, other paw, along with all basic obedience cues. During the time I wasn’t actively caring for Penny, I invested in learning more about dog behavior by reading books and educating myself on different breeds, temperaments, and training approaches. This allows me to adapt my care style to meet each dog’s unique needs. I’m also an aunt to a husky named Rocky and a terrier mix named Marty, so I’m familiar with varying energy levels and personalities. Whether your dog is high-energy, routine-driven, or more relaxed, I adjust my approach to ensure they feel comfortable and understood. I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment and only accept pets from one family at a time to ensure focused, attentive care. I am very mindful of each pet’s routine—whether that includes specific feeding schedules, multiple walks per day, medication, or limits on how long they can be left alone. I maintain a structured schedule and am typically available before and after work, as well as on weekends. With advance notice, I can accommodate more involved care needs. My goal is to provide consistency so your pet feels at ease and at home. I also believe communication is key, so I provide regular updates, photos, and videos to keep you connected and reassured while your pet is in my care. My goal is always to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable, cared for, and genuinely happy. 🐾 Pet care is something I intentionally plan around and prioritize in my daily routine. I tailor my care based on each dog’s specific needs—such as the minimum number of walks per day, how long they can be left alone, and whether they require medication at set times. I’m typically home in the evenings and fully available on weekends. With at least two weeks’ notice, I can also request time off for bookings that require more daytime attention. When I do step out, it’s usually for short periods (5 hours or less), and I return home for the remainder of the day aside from occasional errands. I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so I make it a point each day to incorporate walks, playtime, feeding, and quality one-on-one attention. My goal is always to ensure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I also make it a standard practice to send regular updates, including photos and videos, so you can feel connected and at ease while your pet is in my care. In terms of availability, I maintain a structured schedule and am typically available before and after work, as well as on weekends. If your pet has specific timing needs, I’m happy to discuss and accommodate when possible. For bookings that require a higher level of care—such as frequent walks (e.g., every 2 hours) or detailed routines—I kindly ask for at least two weeks’ notice. A meet and greet 2–3 weeks prior to the scheduled stay is strongly preferred to ensure I can fully prepare and provide the best experience for your pet. My priority is always your pet’s safety, wellbeing, and making them feel as relaxed and at home as possible. 🐾 I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment for every pet in my care. To ensure the highest level of attention and safety, I only accept pets from one family at a time. This allows me to maintain a clean space and give your pup(s) my full focus, especially since managing interactions between unfamiliar dogs can require extra supervision and quick response in case of emergencies. When pets come from the same household, I’m able to rely on the dog parents’ insight into their behavior and routines, which helps me provide more personalized care from the start. I live in an apartment with a secure balcony, a dog park, and a safe, walkable neighborhood with night lighting for added visibility during walks. The building also has secured cameras at the entrance for an extra layer of safety. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I ensure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and following their usual routines for feeding, exercise, and rest.

About: I love all animals! I believe animals can sense energy, and animals always respond well to my presence because I am patient. I grew up on a farm so horses, dogs, cats, birds. My pets live like kings 😂 I work remotely so my schedule is flexible. Over night stays are fine. I work remotely and have hot spot so my schedule is flexible. I am available 7AM-3PM (depending on area). Fridays/Saturdays available all day. I would prefer pet sitting at the pet’s home to ensure they feel comfortable, low stress. Evenings I can stay extended amounts of times as long as y’all don’t mind me working remotely on my hot spot at the home. Outside/feeding schedules will be no problem because my work is flexible.

I maintain a clean environment by cleaning up after them, washing food and water bowls, and keeping litter boxes or outdoor areas tidy. I also monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health and communicate any concerns promptly. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine to help them feel secure while their owner is away.

About: If there’s a pet in the room, that’s probably where you’ll find me. I’ve always loved animals, they’re not just pets they’re family, full of personality, and such an important part of our lives. Every animal is different, and I enjoy getting to know their little quirks, routines, and what makes them happiest. Being trusted to care for someone’s pet is something I truly value, and I treat that responsibility with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. Animals are a big part of my everyday life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just hanging out and keeping them company. I plan my days so I can give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I stick closely to the owner’s instructions, respect their space, and focus on keeping their pets comfortable and happy.

“By far the best rover experience so far. Not only did Christina and her family take our dog, Truffle, last minute but they treated him like their own. With a big fenced in backyard and numerous walks around the neighborhood, Truffle had a blast. She sent consistent communications on how Truffle was doing as well as making sure her kiddos respected and knew how to handle a bigger dog. Above and beyond, would easily recommend Christina!”

“I recently used Kacey for boarding service and I cannot say enough great things about it. From start to finish, the experience was top-notch and my dogs was extremely well taken When Kacey pick my dogs up she went above and beyond to make both myself and my dogs feel comfortable. She took the time to ask a lot of questions about my dog's routine, preferences, and any special needs. I felt confident leaving my furry friends in her care. Throughout my dog's stay, I received regular updates and photos to keep me informed and at ease. It was clear that she was giving my dog plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I never once worried about my dog's well-being. When I picked up my dogs, they was happy, healthy, and clearly had a great time. Overall, I highly recommend this dog boarding service. I felt confident and at ease leaving my dog in their care and will definitely be using their services again in the future. Five stars all around.”

She took excellent care of Megumi, and our Velcro dog was so cozy and at ease when it came time for pick-up that I think she wouldn't have minded even more time hanging out there lol. 10/10; recommend without reservations and would now consider her our go-to anytime the grandparents can't dogsit their granddog.”
