Heather was absolutely amazing!! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to watch my fur baby! She has such a kind soul and her love for animals is so easy to feel and a joy to witness. She sent me daily updates, pictures and videos without me having to ask! My mind was at ease the whole time I was away and I know she ensured Booboo was comfortable as he could be. I can’t thank her enough. I’m so happy to have found her, she’s truly a gem 🩷

We had such a great experience boarding our dog with Yeny and Ray. They were incredibly caring and attentive from start to finish. Pedro felt right at home — they sent us regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. You can tell they genuinely love dogs and treat them like family. When we picked our dog up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving family to care for their dog! 🐾💛

Hi All, Amber took care of my little munchkin Satue for a week. When we first met Amber, Satue couldn't wait to jump into Amber's arms.

Eldeen and her family were so understanding and allowed Mimi to stay an additional day as well. I am so happy I found someplace to send Mimi where she's happy and so am I. Great family!

When we dropped our dog off she was excited to be there and couldn't wait to go in. Our dog enjoyed her time at Christie's. Christie provided videos of the dogs playing.

About: I’ve taken care of dog for the last three years. I’m very trust worthy and compassionate when it comes to dogs, friends and family trust me with there pets I’m currently working during the week, but I’m available every weekend and also every Friday after 4:00 pm so I’ll have plenty of time to play with animals on weekends. I have a wide opened smoke free apartment so the pets could run freely and be comfortable. There is plenty of out door space also with a nature trail to walk.

About: Hey! I’m Kaitlynn, I have 7 years of experience with animals. I was on rover a few years ago for 5-6 years and took a break after I had kids. I have worked with a travel vet for 2 years (before kids) and dog grooming! My love for animals hasn’t changed, I’m recently new to Rover again because I love working with animals and would love to start to get out there again. I give updates often and will have plenty of photos to share with you! My dogs are super friendly to all animals as they lived on a farm before. I’m hoping to help families while providing for mine:) Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because I own my own business and work for myself, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize animals throughout the day. I can easily build my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins without rushing or being tied to a strict 9–5 job. Caring for pets blends perfectly with my active, hands-on lifestyle, and I genuinely enjoy having animals as part of my routine while I manage my business responsibilities. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where they can relax and feel comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and any feeding or medication schedules are followed closely. I also have two friendly dogs of my own who are very social and do well with other animals, which can be great for pets that enjoy companionship. In a client’s home, I follow their routine exactly to help pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I respect their space, keep everything clean and consistent, and make sure pets receive the same level of care, love, and attention they would get from their owner.

About: I have experience caring for cats with different personalities and needs. Although I don’t currently own a cat myself, I’ve always loved them and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’ve cat sat for my best friend and her cat, as well as for my neighbors, so I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, litter box care, and giving cats the attention and patience they need to feel comfortable while their owners are away.

About: I have cared for dogs and cats for many years and have a true love for animals. As a pet owner myself with 2 dogs. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and caring to look after your furry family members. Animals have always been wonderful companions in my life, and I enjoy providing them with love, attention, exercise, and care while helping pet owners feel at ease. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or companionship, I treat every pet like they are my own. I currently work from home. I am free and able to care for your animal 2-3 times a day within short distance. On the weekends further distance. I provide loving, attentive, and reliable care for pets both in my home and in my client’s home. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive daily exercise, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routines, and any special instructions provided by the owner to help them feel safe and comfortable. In my client’s home, I help maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress while also keeping the home clean and secure. During walks and visits, I prioritize safety, patience, and positive interaction so every pet feels cared for and loved while their owner is away.

About: Growing up surrounded by the wagging tails of dogs and the gentle purrs of cats, my love for animals has been a lifelong passion. With over six years of experience as a Veterinary Technician, I bring a wealth of knowledge and hands-on expertise to the care of your beloved pets. My background ensures that I am well-equipped to handle any situation with calm and confidence. In addition to my professional experience, I have been an active volunteer and foster for a local dog rescue organization for the past five years. During this time, I have fostered over 70 rescue dogs, providing them with the love, care, and stability they need to thrive and find their forever homes. My extensive experience with both dogs and cats, combined with my veterinary skills and dedication to rescue work, ensures that your pets will receive the highest level of care and attention. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or medical needs, I am committed to making your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you are away. As someone who works from home, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent and attentive care to each pet throughout the day. Here’s a glimpse of how pet care fits into my daily life: Morning Routine: Early Walks: I start the day with early morning walks or playtime in the yard, ensuring that pets get their first burst of energy out and start their day on a positive note. Feeding Time: After exercise, it’s breakfast time. I follow each pet’s specific dietary needs and ensure they have fresh water. Midday Routine: Interactive Play: Mid-morning, I take breaks from work to engage in interactive play sessions or training exercises, stimulating both their minds and bodies. Potty Breaks: Regular potty breaks are scheduled to keep pets comfortable and maintain a routine. Afternoon Routine: Exercise & Walks: Another round of exercise or a walk in the afternoon keeps pets active and happy. For those staying at my home, this might include a visit to a local park or a playdate with other friendly pets. Quiet Time: Pets also enjoy some quiet time while I focus on work, with cozy spaces available for napping and relaxation. Evening Routine: Dinner Time: As the workday winds down, it’s time for their evening meal. I maintain their feeding schedules and monitor their intake. Evening Walks & Play: We finish the day with another walk or play session, ensuring they are tired and content for the night. Nightly Routine: Before bed, I provide another potty break and some final cuddles or quiet time to help them settle in for a restful night. Weekend Routine: Extra Attention: Weekends often include extra activities like longer walks, visits to pet-friendly places, or more extended play sessions to make the most of the extra time. Working from home allows me to be present and responsive to the needs of each pet, ensuring they receive the care, attention, and love they deserve throughout the day. This routine provides a balanced blend of work and pet care, creating a harmonious and happy environment for everyone. Caring for Pets in My Home: I live in a Townhouse with a fully fenced in backyard. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of space for them to explore and play. Each pet gets individual attention tailored to their needs, including regular exercise, feeding schedules, and plenty of affection. I have designated areas for sleeping, eating, and playing to ensure their comfort and happiness. Additionally, I maintain a pet-friendly home with secure fencing and pet-proofing measures to ensure their safety.Caring for Pets in Your Home:When I care for pets in their own home, I strive to maintain their usual routines and provide a familiar environment to minimize stress. I follow the specific instructions provided by the pet owners regarding feeding, exercise, and any special care needs. Daily visits include playtime, walks, and social interaction to keep your pets happy and engaged. I ensure that your home remains clean and secure, and I am diligent about updating you on your pet's well-being. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable, and loving care to make your pets feel comfortable and content in their own space.

I was so happy to find this sitter! We just adopted a rescue dog. He has a lot of anxiety. He needs special care while he is adjusting to his new home. Because of his anxiety he needs a low stimulation environment. She has been so good working with my dogs special needs! I can’t say enough good about her!! We are so grateful for the care she has given our dog!!

About: Going away? Let your pets stay, play, and relax in the warmth and comfort of family. With a sitter who embraces every Fur baby as part of the pack. Whether it’s belly rubs, walks, or medication—I strive to ensure your furball feels not only cared for but loved as well. While providing consistency, reliability, and most importantly, peace of mind to you. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m naturally nurturing, highly responsible, and always home—perfect for giving your pets the consistent care and attention they deserve. With a flexible schedule and a heart for caregiving, your furry companions will feel safe, loved, and never alone. I have a 2200+ sqft house with plenty of space for playing and exploration as well as multiple quiet cozy nooks separate from the main area, perfect for observing and getting comfortable with new environments and friends. For the pets that prefer the great outdoors our home is on a 1/2 acre lot with a fenced-in backyard that is mostly shaded by multiple large trees to lounge under and provide plenty of birds, squirrels, and rabbits to chase around! Afterwards, a large comfy couch and doggy bed await in the main living room space so your pup can rest and relax with the family. I allow animals on the furniture and bed so they always feel welcome to cuddle up with me for pets and ear rubs. Likewise, at bedtime your furry companion can curl up on the bed or sleep on the plush doggy bed in the comfy nook at the foot of the bed. My goal is to ensure that at all points of their adventure they feel a part of the family.

About: I’ve had experiences not only taking care of my own animals but also watching my friends and families pets. I’m able to walk for however long a pet needs and I’m able to remember when a pet needs to be taken out or fed. I’m also able to adapt easily if the pet has any conditions or disabilities that I need to accommodate to. I’m always available at any time whether it’s mornings or nights. I may have trips but whenever I’m home, I’m always looking for something to do. I always make sure they’re comfortable with me before petting then it playing, considering I never want to force anything. I make sure to feed them on time and take then out whenever it is needed. I also love walking my own dogs all the time.

About: Hey! I’m Kaitlynn, I have 7 years of experience with animals. I was on rover a few years ago for 5-6 years and took a break after I had kids. I have worked with a travel vet for 2 years (before kids) and dog grooming! My love for animals hasn’t changed, I’m recently new to Rover again because I love working with animals and would love to start to get out there again. I give updates often and will have plenty of photos to share with you! My dogs are super friendly to all animals as they lived on a farm before. I’m hoping to help families while providing for mine:) Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because I own my own business and work for myself, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize animals throughout the day. I can easily build my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins without rushing or being tied to a strict 9–5 job. Caring for pets blends perfectly with my active, hands-on lifestyle, and I genuinely enjoy having animals as part of my routine while I manage my business responsibilities. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where they can relax and feel comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and any feeding or medication schedules are followed closely. I also have two friendly dogs of my own who are very social and do well with other animals, which can be great for pets that enjoy companionship. In a client’s home, I follow their routine exactly to help pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I respect their space, keep everything clean and consistent, and make sure pets receive the same level of care, love, and attention they would get from their owner.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. I work full time at a grooming salon as a pet bather. And I have experience working at an animal hospital and a pet sitting company. I’m able to watch any sized dog and any age from puppies to seniors. I also offer simple grooming services! I regularly take multiple dogs on hikes for at least 1 hour and am used to watching large groups of dogs at a time I’m currently working full time, 5 days a week. I am free all day Tuesday, and Sunday. But I’m also free after 4pm any other day . I can pet sit overnight any day and do drop in visits in the morning, evening, and at night. I am unable to board dogs at my own home but at a clients home I can take your dogs for both short and long walks. I can even take them to a park for a nature hike. I will feed them at their scheduled times and if wanted by owners I can crate them. If medication is needed I am comfortable with giving it to them. I will give them plenty of love and lots of playtime. If wanted I can also give nail trims, brushing, ear cleaning and baths as I work full time as a pet bather.

About: Growing up, I've become no stranger to a house full of pets. In the past 15 years as a pet owner, I’ve dealt with it all from those early puppy crazy days to gentle senior care. You can rely on me to feed, walk, and play with your pets. My job is to see to your pet’s needs and make their time spent away from you a little more bearable and filled with lots of love 💕 I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of flexible time on my calendar to check in on your pets: morning, afternoon, and night, Being away from your pets for any period of time can be stressful for pet and owner alike. Therefore, it is my top priority to mitigate that as much as possible by sticking to the routines your pet is used to while keeping them safe and happy.

About: Growing up surrounded by the wagging tails of dogs and the gentle purrs of cats, my love for animals has been a lifelong passion. With over six years of experience as a Veterinary Technician, I bring a wealth of knowledge and hands-on expertise to the care of your beloved pets. My background ensures that I am well-equipped to handle any situation with calm and confidence. In addition to my professional experience, I have been an active volunteer and foster for a local dog rescue organization for the past five years. During this time, I have fostered over 70 rescue dogs, providing them with the love, care, and stability they need to thrive and find their forever homes. My extensive experience with both dogs and cats, combined with my veterinary skills and dedication to rescue work, ensures that your pets will receive the highest level of care and attention. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or medical needs, I am committed to making your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you are away. As someone who works from home, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent and attentive care to each pet throughout the day. Here’s a glimpse of how pet care fits into my daily life: Morning Routine: Early Walks: I start the day with early morning walks or playtime in the yard, ensuring that pets get their first burst of energy out and start their day on a positive note. Feeding Time: After exercise, it’s breakfast time. I follow each pet’s specific dietary needs and ensure they have fresh water. Midday Routine: Interactive Play: Mid-morning, I take breaks from work to engage in interactive play sessions or training exercises, stimulating both their minds and bodies. Potty Breaks: Regular potty breaks are scheduled to keep pets comfortable and maintain a routine. Afternoon Routine: Exercise & Walks: Another round of exercise or a walk in the afternoon keeps pets active and happy. For those staying at my home, this might include a visit to a local park or a playdate with other friendly pets. Quiet Time: Pets also enjoy some quiet time while I focus on work, with cozy spaces available for napping and relaxation. Evening Routine: Dinner Time: As the workday winds down, it’s time for their evening meal. I maintain their feeding schedules and monitor their intake. Evening Walks & Play: We finish the day with another walk or play session, ensuring they are tired and content for the night. Nightly Routine: Before bed, I provide another potty break and some final cuddles or quiet time to help them settle in for a restful night. Weekend Routine: Extra Attention: Weekends often include extra activities like longer walks, visits to pet-friendly places, or more extended play sessions to make the most of the extra time. Working from home allows me to be present and responsive to the needs of each pet, ensuring they receive the care, attention, and love they deserve throughout the day. This routine provides a balanced blend of work and pet care, creating a harmonious and happy environment for everyone. Caring for Pets in My Home: I live in a Townhouse with a fully fenced in backyard. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of space for them to explore and play. Each pet gets individual attention tailored to their needs, including regular exercise, feeding schedules, and plenty of affection. I have designated areas for sleeping, eating, and playing to ensure their comfort and happiness. Additionally, I maintain a pet-friendly home with secure fencing and pet-proofing measures to ensure their safety.Caring for Pets in Your Home:When I care for pets in their own home, I strive to maintain their usual routines and provide a familiar environment to minimize stress. I follow the specific instructions provided by the pet owners regarding feeding, exercise, and any special care needs. Daily visits include playtime, walks, and social interaction to keep your pets happy and engaged. I ensure that your home remains clean and secure, and I am diligent about updating you on your pet's well-being. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable, and loving care to make your pets feel comfortable and content in their own space.

Sonja and Phil did an excellent job looking after our fur babies and we will certainly be repeat customers. They shared multiple pics and updates daily, which set my mind at ease as I am always anxious about boarding them.

Lorena did a great job taking care of our dog while we were out of state for 6 days. Ellie looked happy in the photos and made herself at home. We definitely recommend Lorena and would use her services again.

Heather was absolutely amazing!! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to watch my fur baby! She has such a kind soul and her love for animals is so easy to feel and a joy to witness. She sent me daily updates, pictures and videos without me having to ask! My mind was at ease the whole time I was away and I know she ensured Booboo was comfortable as he could be. I can’t thank her enough. I’m so happy to have found her, she’s truly a gem 🩷

We had such a great experience boarding our dog with Yeny and Ray. They were incredibly caring and attentive from start to finish. Pedro felt right at home — they sent us regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. You can tell they genuinely love dogs and treat them like family. When we picked our dog up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving family to care for their dog! 🐾💛

Christie was thoughtful and ensured the safety of all of the pets that were in her care the week we boarded our dog. She did meets and greets with the pets and owners so everyone was comfortable. When we dropped our dog off she was excited to be there and couldn't wait to go in. Our dog enjoyed her time at Christie's. Christie provided videos of the dogs playing.

Traci watched our big senior boy for a week previously so when we had another week long trip, we knew Leo would be in good hands with her! Traci is very thoughtful and made sure Leo was comfortable, despite him being anxious being away from his family. She provided lots of updates and photos and we felt happy knowing that Leo was in good hands. Thanks so much, Traci!

Marah was great! My two pups stayed with Marah and her family for two nights and I know they were well taken care of. I got daily updates and photos. My dogs had lots of fun snuggling with her two sweet children and playing fetch in the backyard.

About: Hey! I’m Kaitlynn, I have 7 years of experience with animals. I was on rover a few years ago for 5-6 years and took a break after I had kids. I have worked with a travel vet for 2 years (before kids) and dog grooming! My love for animals hasn’t changed, I’m recently new to Rover again because I love working with animals and would love to start to get out there again. I give updates often and will have plenty of photos to share with you! My dogs are super friendly to all animals as they lived on a farm before. I’m hoping to help families while providing for mine:) Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because I own my own business and work for myself, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize animals throughout the day. I can easily build my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins without rushing or being tied to a strict 9–5 job. Caring for pets blends perfectly with my active, hands-on lifestyle, and I genuinely enjoy having animals as part of my routine while I manage my business responsibilities. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where they can relax and feel comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and any feeding or medication schedules are followed closely. I also have two friendly dogs of my own who are very social and do well with other animals, which can be great for pets that enjoy companionship. In a client’s home, I follow their routine exactly to help pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I respect their space, keep everything clean and consistent, and make sure pets receive the same level of care, love, and attention they would get from their owner.
