About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have spent the last 3 years volunteering with Hope for Life Rescue and Penninsula Regional Animal Shelter, working hands on with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, from bottle feeding kittens and puppies to caring for senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m the go-to person for family and friends whenever they need someone reliable and loving to care for their pets, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight boarding. I have experience administering medications, handling nervous or shy animals, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, compassion, and plenty of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals are already a big part of my life. I volunteer regularly with a local rescue and animal shelter, foster when needed, and I also run my own business from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise, and my own pets (two cats and one dog) are all friendly, well socialized, and up to date on their vaccines. My dog, Mercury, just turned two and is full of energy. She loves meeting other dogs and enjoys playdates, which makes her a great companion for social pups who enjoy interaction and play. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy environment where both pets and pet parents feel comfortable and confident.
“Tameka was an amazing caregiver for my two weenie dogs! I was so happy to be able to keep them together in a lovely home environment. Tameka was very attentive to my dogs needs and provided me with lots of updates and cute photos. Thank you Tameka!”

“Samantha has been watching Brenda Leigh for me when I go out of town for the last three years. When I deployed, she was very accommodating and has been watching Brenda for me again since I moved into a new place. My cat has loved her since the first visit and honestly Brenda is super shy so I thought she would hide every time Samantha came over. I get tons of pictures of them cuddling and playing together and it really puts my mind at ease when I am traveling, So so grateful!”
About: Hi! I've worked with a lot of different sizes and breeds, as well as different temperaments when it comes to dogs and cats. I can also administer medications and take care of exotic fish or other animals if needed. A little bit about me: I am a very calm, patient, and dependable person with 5 lovely dogs between my husband and I( I had 3 and he had 2 when we met!). I’m a former RN currently at home while finishing up my Doctorate. I would love to get back in to walking, drop-in visits, and recently decided to try out out doggy daycare. We have a nice big backyard! I am open to learning and providing your pup with any accommodations that they may need during my visits and/or their stay. I understand how important it is to make sure they feel safe and loved. Feel free to ask any questions. I look forward to working with you! *I do have a toddler at home most days, so it is important that your dog is friendly with children when considering doggy day care. She will not join me for drop on visits or walks! I do my best to provide service at the times requested. I am very dependable, however I may suggest an alternate time if there is a conflict. I will make it work! I am very organized and respectful when making a visit to a pet parents home. I also make sure doors are locked and light are off when I leave.
“We’ve been booking Ashley for drop-in visits for our 2 cats for a little while now and we continue to be very happy with the care she provides! She’s always our first choice for a pet sitter.”
“Emily was amazing with my cat Juno! She was flexible with scheduling and helped me get Juno into her kennel (easier said than done). Emily also made sure Juno was well fed and gave me an update on how she did during her stay. As a new cat dad, I really appreciated how friendly Emily was!”
About: Headline: Cat Lover & Experienced Foster | Reliable Drop-Ins, Medication Care & Calm, Attentive Support Experience: I have a strong background in feline care through both personal experience and long-term fostering. I’m a cat mom to my two cats, Jupiter and Luna, who are both 3 years old, and caring for them has given me a deep understanding of daily routines, behavior, and the little things that help cats feel safe and comfortable. I have also fostered kittens from the bottle-feeding stage through adulthood, including long-term care for rescue kittens that required extra attention and consistency. I’m experienced with bottle feeding, litter box training, medication administration, and handling common health concerns like fleas, stomach issues, and upper respiratory infections. I know cats thrive best with patience, routine, and trust. Whether your cat needs quiet companionship, extra medical care, or someone dependable for drop-in visits, I provide attentive care tailored to their personality and needs.
About: We have a small park of a backyard that your pet can frolic in, and a little dog that loves to make new friends all the time!!!

Let me know about you pet so they can have the best care and a good time!
About: Cats aren’t just animals to me — they’re little soulful beings who deserve respect, patience, and affection on their terms. Growing up with cats taught me how to read their body language, honor their space, and know the difference between “I want attention now” and “no, thank you.” Whether it’s playing with a wild kitten, coaxing a shy senior out from under the bed, or managing special feeding routines, I’m confident in my ability to make your feline feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. I’ve Got Experience In: ✔ Shy cats / slow trust-building ✔ Administering oral meds & special diets ✔ Litter box hygiene & monitoring habits ✔ Kittens (playtime & socialization!) ✔ Senior cats (gentle care & extra patience)
“Samantha was excellent with my antisocial senior cat! She took time to let her warm up to her and was actually able to pet her. She even brought a cat toy to try and get her to play. I’ll definitely be booking Sam for my future trips and highly recommend her!”

She had consistently great communication and photos, went the extra mile in every aspect, and displayed genuine care for them.

“I highly recommend Noelle. Our fur baby Max loves her. We have had no concerns leaving him with her for daycare and for an overnight. Max thinks he is apart of her family 😊”
“Ive used Brandys daycare services for Loki 2 days a week for about 5 weeks now. She is very attentive, loves dogs, and caring towards him. He gets so excited to see her and looks so comfortable around her family. She gives physical daily report cards with the potty schedule, behavior, feedings, comments and recommendations. She sends photos throughout the day. Her family enjoys having him around and I love seeing him play with her children. I had a family emergency one weekend and she had no problem keeping him for me until I got back in town. That was super huge because she does have a family, it was last minute, and a big ask. Definitely would recommend her services.”
“Raven was a huge help with my dog when I needed a sitter last minute. She communicated with me well and jept me updated throughout my pups stay. I would highly recommend for booking with her for your pup!”
About: I’ve grown up with many animals in my home. Ranging from dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. I know what it means to feel at ease knowing your pets are being well taken care of while you’re away. Let me be that person for you. Currently, I am a stay at home mom with one small child. Which makes my availability pretty flexible. I will try my best to work out our schedules so that your pets get all the attention they need. I do not view our pets as just pets. They are an extension of our family. Just as much a family member as any other. They deserve time, respect, and love. Nothing feels more rewarding than earning the love and trust of another animal. I strive to provide the best care for God’s beautiful creatures.
“Vianca and her family were so wonderful to Calvin. He had so much fun there, was so excited every morning and made me drag him away when it was time to leave. Her dogs played nicely with my puppy. They adhered to providing him a couple dedicated crate naps daily. Would def use Vianca again! Thank you!”
“Sam did a wonderful job taking care of Skye!!! We know it isn’t easy but she did it and he is very relaxed when we picked him up which doesn’t always happen..thank you and we’ll see you soon!!”
About: I have had all kinds of pets myself my entire life from small pocket pets, to exotics to cats and dogs. I also have 4 years of experience working in the veterinary field! I house sit a lot for friends and family and I have a felxible schedule that allows me to visit houses multiple times a day! I mostly have done drops ins and hang outs but if you’d prefer an overnight sitter that would be fine! At minimum I stop by twice a day more if needed!
“WHEW. The relief I felt after speaking with Cassandra put me at complete ease. After meeting her, I felt like I was dropping off my children with a friend. My dogs have some challenges and I felt they were safe and cared for. The updates and pictures let me know I chose the best person. She didnt just say the right things, she did them. In the process of rebooking.”
About: I have been caring for dogs since 2011 and have owned a variety of breeds, including Yorkies, Beagles, and German Shepherds. My dogs have always been beloved family members who lived long, happy lives. I understand the importance of dependable, loving care and will treat your pet with the same attention, patience, and affection I give my own. I work from home, which allows me to provide frequent attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Because I am home most of the time, pets in my care receive plenty of supervision, affection, and a consistent routine. I know every pet has their own routine, so I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable. Whether that means sticking to a specific feeding schedule, going for extra walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing on the couch, I try to keep their day as normal as possible. I work from home and have a fully fenced yard, which allows for plenty of supervised outdoor time, exercise, and play throughout the day. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Xiaolin and Zidong were so sweet to my pup and they were so kind and polite with me as well! They have a beautiful backyard with loads of space and their own pup got along great with mine. Will definitely be using them again soon!! :)”

He lived a very long life,(19 years). I went on to own many wonderful dogs and cats over the years. My current pets are a French bulldog named Frankie and a blonde Tabby named Alyssa. They both get along well with other dogs and cats. I'm retired and have plenty of free time to care for your furbabies. I have raised pitbulls and chow chows and personally house-trained many puppies.

About: I used to have another rover account and dog watching was my full time job for about 3 years.

I am a stay at home mom and have a dog of my own so adding a few more never hurts. My golden daisy is my child she is so spoiled and if you trust me with your dog they will be too. She is full of energy and loves all dogs and people haha. She does not know what stranger danger is. I have a huge fenced in back yard. I am also able to split up my house to have dogs in separate areas when they need a break from each other. This will be my full time job aside from being a mom so I am always home.

I have experience administering medications, handling nervous or shy animals, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, compassion, and plenty of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals are already a big part of my life. I volunteer regularly with a local rescue and animal shelter, foster when needed, and I also run my own business from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise, and my own pets (two cats and one dog) are all friendly, well socialized, and up to date on their vaccines. My dog, Mercury, just turned two and is full of energy. She loves meeting other dogs and enjoys playdates, which makes her a great companion for social pups who enjoy interaction and play. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy environment where both pets and pet parents feel comfortable and confident.
“My dogs are usually very upset when I drop them off at the sitters', but not this time! My dogs were happy to see Omaira & Isaac again, and I was so happy to see this! They also went out of their way to make sure that my babies had their wet food, which they could tell I forgot to bring - such attention to detail, they really don't miss a beat! Thanks again guys!”
“This was my first time boarding my puppy and Krystal was the best.com!!! She kept me updated on his status and sent pictures which kept me at ease. I will go to her for all my services. I even think my little man is sad that he had to leave her. Thank you Krystal for taking such good care of King!”
“It goes without saying that Lora is awesome. I trust her with my Charlie more than I trust my family and Charlie loves her and her family. Don’t hesitate to book with her.”
“Quick to help out on a short notice and understands the quick pace of military life. Very helpful, great with our dogs and would trust her with our animals again.”
“Hillary and her crew took great care of my two dogs. I could tell that they were treated as members of their family. She left me with regular updates so I could relax and enjoy my time away. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”
