“Ashley is amazing. We’ve been having her visit with our cat Todd for over a year. He is becoming more high maintenance as he ages and now she’s been on puke duty and hasn’t questioned things one bit. She is easy to talk to and always keeps us in the loop. I highly recommend booking with her for any of your pet sitting needs.”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the lifelong experience and genuine love I have for animals. I grew up in a home full of dogs and have always been surrounded by pets, learning early on how to care for them with patience and attention. Today, I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. I treat every pet like my own, with kindness, consistency, and a lot of love. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some extra playtime, I ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. As a teacher on summer break, I have a very open and flexible schedule, which means I’m available throughout the day to give your pets the attention and care they need. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or an afternoon check-in, I’m able to provide consistent, dependable care. My background in teaching also means I’m organized, responsible, and great at following routines—qualities that translate well into attentive, loving pet care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, give walks or playtime, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’m respectful of your home and any instructions you leave, whether it’s about medications, crate time, or favorite toys. If I were to offer care in my home, pets would have a calm, pet-friendly space and lots of companionship throughout the day. No matter the setting, I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel happy, secure, and loved while you're away.

“This was my first time using a paid service to take care of my cats, and I am so happy with Melinda. She spent time with them and took great pictures of my boys, which I looked forward to every day I was gone. She was wonderfully respectful of my home. I would gladly book her services again.”

About: I have experience with all types of pets, from high-energy companions to more laid-back, relaxed ones. Growing up with dogs, working as a social worker at a veterinary clinic, and being a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to provide your pet with the love and care they deserve. Every pet has its own unique personality, and I’m here to cater to their individual needs—whether your dog requires an extra-long walk or your cat needs brushing and nail trimming. I’ve got you covered! I work from 8:00-4:30 most days of the week. I’m available for walks and drop in visits at any point on the weekends. I can also make walks and drop in visits work anytime before and after my workday during the week. For all services, whether it's walking your dog or housesitting, I like to gather all the details. I understand that you’re trusting me to take care of your pet, and I want to make sure I meet your expectations. To do this, I'll learn about your pet’s routine, how they behave during walks, their personality, and any special care instructions that will help make the experience better for everyone involved.

“Karly was wonderful caring for my two human loving cats. She also took care of the garden and birds over the weekend. I highly recommend her, and plan to use her again when out of town.”

Michele P.

“Alex was great! Super grateful for him, boarding would have been stressful for my babies. This was my first time using Rover, everything went well!”

Shanti S.

“Marley did an amazing job taking care of Archie our sweet golden retriever! She kept us informed and address all of Archie’s needs! Thank you again Marley!”

Tess M.

“Sarah was absolutely fantastic, 10/10! It was my first time using rover and she was super patient while explaining everything to me. She took the time to do a meet and greet and my cat (who is very skeptical of most and kinda cranky) warmed up to her immediately. While away, I got constant communication and photos. I can’t wait to use Sarah again next time I’m out of town - thank you!!!”

Chloe B.

“Bob took care of my little bundle of joy, Cheeti, a 17 years young cat. I appreciated many things. Bob was punctual which was very important to me since Cheeti requires meds. He also sent multiple updates and pictures. This made a big difference since I could see that my baby was well taken care of and as a result I was able to thoroughly enjoy my time away. Cheeti and I give Bob 5 gigantic shining stars!”

About: I've had my own happy and healthy pup since he was 6 months old - strangers always comment on how polite he is and I'm quite proud of his learning and behavior. I think quite a lot of that success comes from learning how to communicate with pets; knowing how their species and they, as an individual, express anxiety, interest, excitement, or happiness. I'm quite good at letting animals come to me in their own way so we build trust and they know I'll do the right thing by them. Currently free to move my errands and other obligations as needed but will prioritize consistent times to keep my availability consistent for all potential clients. Walks: Let me know what distance you usually walk - or I can take a route I do regularly for my own dog in the area. Will clean up after dogs (this feels expected but will state it clearly). Happy to focus on a particular command you're working on if you share it ahead of time/some of the criteria around how you're directing its use. Day Visits: Please share specifics - will be able to visit up to 3 times per day.
