“I hired Arianna to house sit and watch our cat while we were away for a few days. I was very pleased with the quality of care she provided and I would definitely use her services again. My cat can be rather high maintenance and Arianna handled all of her attitude and whims so well! 🙂 I also appreciated the updates and photos that she sent throughout the stay.”
About: I've lived with animals my whole life and even taken care of newborn kittens more than once, along with caring for my 3 cute dogs. I work at a caregiving facility a couple days a week and every other weekend so I'm free 3 to 5 days during the week, during those days off I have all the time to do whatever but I never have anything to do so I thought why not take care of animals since I have some myself and I have all the love for them. I care for people's pets how I would care for mine, with love and patience, even getting them out to play or for a walk, just getting them the exercise and play time they need.
“Becky did an incredible job for our cat Suna. It was our first time leaving him alone for a weekend, but Becky made us feel at ease by going above and beyond and letting us know about the slightest changes in mood or behavior. She also spent a lot of time cuddling and playing with Suna and even washed his food containers. We could not be more happy. Becky, thank you so much and please come again!”
“It was our first time leaving our kitten for an extended period of time. Nicole send lots of pictures, and made our kitten feel very comfortable. Would highly recommend for pet care needs!”
“Emily was amazing! We used her cat drop in service in our home. This was our second time using rover to watch our 10 year old cat. Emily did a wonderful job. She provided pictures & detailed updates of the visit and most importantly to us, lots of cat cuddles. I cannot recommend her enough! I look forward to having Emily in our home for any future cat sitting. Thank you so much Emily!”
About: I have been working with animals since I was young. I currently have 7 dogs. I groom and work with many breeds. I am trusted with dogs and cats everyday for grooming now I would love to add in walking and pet sitting. I currently work part time which leaves me the flexibility in the afternoon and evenings to walk and care for other pets. I am also available for pet sitting on most weekends and after 2 pm the week days! I have dog friendly pups that come with me to keep other pups entertained while in your home. They can be kenneled as well if needed.
About: I started my dog watching journey when I was about 16. I used to watch a friend's dogs whenever she was away. Even when she was at work when her older dog was ill. I have a kinship with dogs like no other. It's only in the last 5 years that I've developed that with cats as well. I have a flexible work schedule that can accommodate any needs you have. I will update my calendar as to my availability at least every 2 weeks. I can accommodate 1 or 2 dogs only on the weekends. But, in your home I will respect everything. I won't mess anything up and if I do I'll return it better than I left it.

“Very last minute booking that she was very responsive to. She was flexible and patient in integrating her dogs, who Zuma loved. Zuma can be a nervous girl but Arianna really helped her feel comfortable. She's also great at training and her dogs are well behaved, which is helpful for a nervous dog like Zuma. I got lots of updates and pictures, she even took Zuma on a nice hike/run and she was well tuckered out after. An amazing price for the time and dedication she put into hosting Zuma. Will definitely use again if I'm in the area!”

To gift pet owners the luxury of carefree moments during their time away, knowing that their beloved companions are wrapped in a cocoon of joy and well-being.

Each wag becomes a delightful plot twist in our story, painting a canvas of warmth and connection that spans beyond the boundaries of mere caretaking. As their entrusted guardian, I pledge not just to meet their needs but to orchestrate a symphony of delight, ensuring that every tail wags to its own unique rhythm with contentment.
“My pup stayed for 12 hrs and had so much fun he was snoring before we left the drive. He’s deaf and Tara made sure he was comfy with the other animals and his space. Highly recommend!”

“Christy is absolutely the best! My dog Jojo loved going to daycare when I worked and would try to push my out the car in mornings to get down. I would definitely recommend her and will use her next time.”
“Great experience, Brandi was able to accommodate my Velvet in short notice when we needed it the most, sent picture updates regularly and that made me feel more comfortable, also Velvet liked going back there which means Velvet enjoyed it too.”
“Liloo loves Scott and his squad of pups. She was antsy and anxious when we first dropped her off but on a subsequent 2 week boarding stay, she blossomed! Scott sent regular updates (complete with photos) of how she was doing: from sulking and guarding the oven in the kitchen, to letting loose playing, to napping with the other doggos. I send Liloo to Scott for day care now and shes so happy frolicking with the dogs and enjoying treats!”
“Becky is everything you could hope for from a pet sitter. We were in her area for a funeral and left our dog with her for the day. The experience was great. Her communication was excellent, she has a gorgeous dog-friendly neighborhood and home, and she took excellent care of our dog. She and her kids returned him to us happy and tired, which is no small feat. I would go far out of my way to leave our dog with Becky again. Thanks so much!”
“Absolutely amazing experience. Lovely family..so animal friendly. Our baby loves going to Morgan's home. She had the ability to learn how to be gentle with littles...run like crazy outside and play nice with other pups”
“We immediately felt comfortable leaving Quito at Nick and Dorothy's despite never having used Rover before. They were responsive, quick to provide photos of our pup, and were very, clearly "dog people." 10/10 would recommend.”

Dogs I keep with me at all times. I
“Randee was so accommodating. He has a nice area for any dog to get there exercise and sunbathe. Tonka was certainly tired when he came home. We’ll definitely be asking Randee for another play date!”

About: I have had pets in my household for as long as I could remember. Growing up we had cats, dogs, hamsters, Guinea pigs, and hermit crabs. In high school, I watched family and neighbors pets while they were away. In college, I got a job at a humane society. Here, I learned how to care for sick animals, administer medications, give vaccinations, treat fleas, remove ticks, take care of puppies and seniors, and much more to make sure all the animals were healthy. Also, I learned how to deal with aggressive and behavioral dogs/cats. Now, I have 4 dogs and 3 cats of my own. Most of them were rescues. I am currently a substitute teacher while I go back to school for my teaching degree. Days vary but typically I will be working 8 hours a day if I do get a job for the day. On weekends, I normally don’t have anything going on. I have a fenced in backyard that allows my dogs to run and use the bathroom. In the morning and at night, I take them for walks. In the afternoon, I take my GSP for a run. On weekends, we like to go to Sniffspots or hiking. In a clients home, I will take them for walks, play in the fenced in backyard if applicable, and sometimes with permission will take them hiking.

I am currently at home full-time so I will be able to care for and play with your fur babies five days a week for most of the day. I have my own friendly pup who loves to play if he ever meets your fur baby. I can also crate your fur baby if you want me to when I leave!
