About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. Growing up on a ranch, I helped raise and care for all kinds of animals including rabbits, cats, and dogs, learning hands-on responsibility and compassion from a young age. I bring decades of experience and have a special love for senior pets. Since 2011, I’ve rescued and cared for older dogs, giving them comfort, attention, and love in their final years. Two of my own cats lived to be 20, so I understand the dedication needed for long-term care. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior pet, I treat every animal like family. Friends and neighbors have trusted me for years to nurture, love, and care for their pets and I’d be honored to do the same for yours. I work part-time remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule to dedicate to your pet. This allows me to provide consistent attention, care, and companionship tailored to each animal’s needs. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely, provide attentive supervision, and maintain a calm, comfortable environment. With decades of experience — from ranch animals to senior dogs, cats, and small pets — I provide patient, loving, and reliable care that pet parents can trust.
“Very responsive and respectful. She is very trustworthy and kind - treated my dogs like they were her own. I’ll definitely reach out to Jennifer as my first choice to watch my dogs again.”
“We can't say enough good about Brooke! She took great care of our pets and our home....When we got back, the place was cleaner than when we left and the pets didn't seem to miss us at all! Highly recommended!”
“Boone was actually depressed and looking for Taressa after we came home. He must’ve really loved her being there with him. She is a very sweet and caring woman. I would definitely love for her to sit with our Boone anytime.”
“Dakota is fantastic!! This is her second time watching Nash, my 11-month-old golden retriever. She’s the first person I ask now when I need someone to stay with him. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and spending time with them. I know he’s in good hands when I leave him with her! She’s friendly, communicative and reliable! She’s my go-to sitter for Nash!”
“Jeniffer is a truly wonderful person and a gifted animal caregiver. We were so fortunate to have her watch out doggy for a long day we both needed to be out of town. Our pup completely fell in love with her. Happy to give Jeniffer our highest possible recommendation!”
About: "I bring a professional, detail-oriented approach to pet care, backed by a commitment to reliability and safety. I don't just 'watch' your pet—I curate their day.

Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I approach every interaction with the professionalism you expect from a dedicated care expert." Growing up in Texas we had a family Ranch with all of the fun farm animals. I have been around several breeds of cats since I was 10. I also had a beautiful midnight main coon named Bling up until moving to Austin. I also had a Schnauzer terrier I found at the pound also when I was 10. Mitzi was from the Humane Society. I was volunteering and she never left my side all day I had to take her! Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed, and play with their pets for years. What sets me apart is my patience and ability to bond with even the shyest felines. I understand cat body language and prioritize a stress-free environment. Whether it's high-energy play with a kitten or gentle companionship for a senior cat, I am observant, detail-oriented, and dedicated to making sure your furr baby feels safe and loved while you are away." I prioritize a secure and attentive environment for every dog I care for. While I don't have a yard at my home, I am an extremely active person and live near several wonderful local dog parks and scenic trails. I love taking my visitors on frequent outdoor adventures and long walks to ensure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air. My home is a clean, organized, and stress-free space where your pet will be treated like family and given my full, undivided attention.

Ventura pet parents share their Rover experiences
Absolutely amazing. We truly could not have asked for a better dog sitter. Thank you so much! Communication throughout our trip was excellent, and we were able to travel with complete peace of mind knowing our boy was not only well cared for, but genuinely loved. We received regular updates, photos, and thoughtful check-ins that made us feel connected even while we were away. It is clear that Mookie was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. We came home to a relaxed, well-cared-for pup and a spotless house. We are incredibly grateful and would not hesitate to book again. Highly, highly recommend!
Natalie too amazing care of our two dogs while we were away for a week. She stayed at our home and sent updates daily and was even able to help with trash and gardening days (arrangements for the dogs) and getting the trash cans out to the street. Our pups loved her from the first meeting and we could tell in the videos, photos, and upon our return that they were well loved and taken care of while we were away!! Natalie left the home just as she found it and was extremely trustworthy! Thank you Natalie!!!:)
Lucas took great care of my very energetic doggo. He took him on little walks and trips, cuddled with him, and kept him on his regular feeding schedule. He took great care of my home, kept everything clean and was great at communicating anything that was going on. Would definitely recommend!
Leanna and Julio did a wonderful job looking after Clementine and the house. Clementine loves them and really enjoyed having them take care of her. The house was clean when we got back home from traveling. Leanna did a great job keeping up communication and we were always kept aware of everything going on. I highly recommend Leanna and Julio for any and all of your pet care needs.
Leslie was the perfect sitter to take care of Phife and our home. Not only did she offer to arrive a few hours early, but she stayed a few hours late until we returned home after some delays. She was very communicative & extremely thorough in making sure she had every detail about our dog. We felt so comfortable leaving Phife in her care. She also kept the house in tip-top shape; it didn't even feel like someone stayed here after she left. 10/10 would rebook again / recommend to anyone!
Saul and little Baffy took care of my 2 yorkie pups. He couldn’t have done a better job! They both understood the yorkie temperament, and I loved that Baffy became friends with them. By the time I arrived home, they were both exhausted which indicated they had plenty of walks and play time. I had specific feeding instructions (my yorkies eat organ meat) and had no issues following them, including monitoring the three of them during their meal. Thank you, Saul and Baffy!
