“This was our first time using services through Rover and we are so glad we did! Cat was absolutely amazing through the entire process keeping us well informed at each drop in. She was incredibly patient with our fur babies and their unique personalities, even befriending our shy boy in record time. Thank you so much, Cat!”

“I’m never using anyone else! Tyler has a genuine love and passion for animals that shows in her visits and when she hosts. You won’t just get pictures of your dog playing in backyard - she actually spends time with your pup”

About: I'm officially back and excited to work with new clients! What really sets me apart is my genuine love for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Through my volunteer work with rescue organizations, humane societies, and wildlife rehabilitation centers, I've learned to connect with pets who might be shy, anxious, or just need a little extra patience. I'm especially comfortable with senior pet care (thanks to my own elderly cats), medication administration, and working with special needs animals. My late staffie rescue taught me that the most misunderstood dogs often make the most loyal companions, so I have a real soft spot for bully breeds and "difficult" cases. I've also got experience with puppy energy management – I can tire out even the most determined zoomie sessions! Friends joke that I'm a "cat whisperer," though I'll admit one particularly stubborn feline took me 15 years to win over. Whether your pet needs gentle senior care, high-energy adventures, or just someone who won't blink at their quirky habits, I'm here for it. No creature is too unusual – I've cared for everything from traditional pets to more exotic companions! After leaving academia to pursue my passion for writing and art, I've discovered the joy of a flexible schedule. I spend most of my time outdoors anyway (turns out fresh air is much better for creativity than stuffy lecture halls), so having some four-legged companions along for the adventure sounds like a no-brainer. Plus, I've learned that pet adventures are the perfect antidote to writer's block. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe and loved while you're away. I'm experienced with administering medications, maintaining routines, and reading those subtle pet signals that tell you when something's not quite right. My own little crew includes two senior cats (14 and 17) and a wonderfully patient yellow lab who's basically a gentleman and a scholar. One of my cats has special needs, so I'm comfortable with medical care and know how important consistency is for our furry family members.

“Extremely helpful for us last minute. Would totally recommend!”

Kayla C.

“Cynthia was great! Kept us updated with photos and took extra care to keep our naughty cat that gets into everything out of trouble. It was so relieving to come home to two happy kitties and no stress while we were out 😊”

Evin T.

“Allyson is the best! I never worry about our dog when she is here!”

Dee K.

“Ashley was great! My boys loved her and she made herself available last minute!”

Lydia W.

“Danyelle was awesome, she had great communication skills and took lots of pictures and care of my cats during her drop in visits. Highly recommend!”

Sabrina T.

“Nick’s care and communication have been absolutely phenomenal, and I truly appreciated it. I could tell Sebastian felt well loved and cared for through the pictures that he sent during my time away! This was my first time using Rover, and I'm sold. I'll definitely keep Nick in mind as I travel frequently, and we've had some family shifts so care is not always as readily available.”

Ashley W.

“Alexander was awesome! My silly, hyper pup warmed up to him well and he made sure my big oy was taken care of without any deviations from our routine. I will be planning on booking Alexander soon!”

La'Shanta J.

“Deanna was reliable and professional in taking care of my babies while I was away. She showed up as scheduled, always included pictures, and accomodated my less typical requests in providing care. I would recommend her without reservation; I had peace of mind on my rip knowing she was taking care back home.”

Chris D.

“Joey watched our dog Layla for the second time and we could tell she was happy to see him. He did all expected task and more. Our Layla has been picky about food lately so he made sure accommodated for her to complete her meals. We will continue to request Joey for Layla.”

About: With over 7 years of hands-on experience as a devoted pet owner, I’ve cared for animals at every life stage—from the gentle needs of my senior toy poodle to the boundless energy of my young golden retriever. I specialize in creating a nurturing and safe environment, offering personalized care that includes potty training, leash walking, and reinforcing basic obedience commands like sit, stay, and recall. Whether it’s meeting the unique challenges of senior care or keeping active pups engaged, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a deep passion for happy, healthy pets. As someone who works from home with a flexible schedule, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m able to provide consistent attention throughout the day, from morning walks and feeding to playtime and enrichment activities. My flexible schedule ensures your pets receive the care and attention they need, with plenty of time for exercise, training, and affection. In my home, I provide designated spaces for my pets to rest and play, ensuring they have a comfortable and secure area. I also have a fenced yard where pets can safely enjoy outdoor time. Your pet will be safe and comfortable, and if they enjoy playing with other dogs, I can arrange playtime with mine. If preferred, I can keep pets separate or crate them if they are crate-trained, ensuring everyone feels relaxed. I follow a consistent routine for my dogs, including regular feeding, walks, and playtime, to maintain a sense of structure. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe and positive environment where pets feel at ease, with plenty of attention and affection throughout their stay.

“Alecia is truly the best person to give care to your pet. She is extremely caring and involved in the whole process of really making sure that your baby gets the best care possible. My Bassett Hound puppy is so happy to see her when she comes to visit! If you really want someone you can always trust and definitely depend on, Alecia is your best bet, HANDS DOWN!!”

About: I have experience with walking/running all kinds of dogs as well as providing playtime, feedings, and meds. I am detail oriented and give my all to each service and each pet! I always do my best to go above and beyond, showing your fur baby the love it deserves while you're not able to be there❤️ I have experience with cat sitting as well: litter, filling water and food, play time, etc. I also have a cat, so I'm keen on how to read their cues to avoid conflict and redirect with play time, treats, or whatever they like best. I work 7-5 most days, so I am available for walks in the evening or early morning. I am also available for weekend boardings or sittings from Friday evening through Sunday evening With my cat, I have habits of keeping all foods and breakables out of the way. If your pup or kitty is not friendly to other cats, I can split them in two separate rooms of my apartment which I'm happy to detail further on a case by case basis! I prefer sittings in your own home as it's less stress on your baby, but open to whatever you may need. Communication is my #1 priority along with everyone's safety 🥰

“Alyssa was great with my cat, who experiences separation anxiety. She did a wonderful job and sent me pics of my kitty getting skritches. I appreciate her care.”
