“Hannah was fantastic with our pup Leo! After our second dog had to spend a weekend in the emergency room, she was very flexible and accommodating to switch up the schedule unexpectedly and took very good care of our boy when he was home alone and needed extra love! We came home to a very happy pup :)”
“Dion provided outstanding drop-in care for my cat, exceeding all expectations. She was always on time and sent photos with her updates. Dion cares deeply about animals. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy, compassionate sitter.”
“Talia clearly loves dogs and is a tremendous communicator. She did drop in visits for our dog while we were away overnight and it was seamless. We knew our dog was in great hands and would 100% use Talia again.”
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for family and friends over the past three years! I’m happy to love your fur babies! I am a teacher so I am currently off for the summer and am very flexible with time during the weekdays. I can also be available during weekends with proper notice! I have watched dogs that have needed to be crated and/or put in a pen. I have also taken the dogs I have cared for to dog parks for some fun puppy play dates.
“Luisa was very easy to work with and I came home to a happy dog. Appreciate her checking in on my dog, Oso, and plan to use her for more dog sitting in the future. Thanks!”
About: I love dogs and cats, I work during the day so I'm probably more suited to cat care right now (see schedule). I'll be sure to make extra time to play and chat with your pet whenever we're together. I work during the day so I'm available to drop in early (pre-8am) and I'm the evenings (after 5:30). I have more flexibility on the weekends. Pets are already stressed when their families are away, having a stranger come in can add to that so my first priority will be becoming a friend to them by spending time together playing and giving scratches.
“Alicia was amazing! We booked her kind of last minute, but we felt very comfortable having her take care of our pet. She was very communicative and trustworthy. I will definitely book her again!”
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a little girl. In high school, I volunteered at our animal center which included providing care for guinea pigs, hedgehogs, snakes, frogs, geckos and a lot more! I’ve also been cat sitting for my friends here and there throughout the last few years. In college I worked at a PetSmart as a pet care associate, so I cared for fish, reptiles, small animals, and administered medication to hamsters or lizards that were sick. I’d also scoop up crickets and hand feed mealworms to bearded dragons, which has been great exposure therapy for my fear of bugs.. I currently work full time in IT, from 8:00AM - 4:30PM. I’m happy to drive over after work throughout the week, and can be flexible on weekends! I treat all animals with love, respect, and patience. I’m happy to provide care exactly as you request it - you know your pets best! I’m also happy to send photos & reach out to you with any questions
“What a savior Maya was for our family vacation! She took the time to meet them and chat ahead of time and I ur dogs immediately welcomed her! She took phenomenal care of them, provided detailed updates and her overall responsiveness is stellar. We will look no further for drop in care for our dogs! 10/10 recommend her and will hopefully be booking her for upcoming dates.”
About: I have cared for both cats and dogs of all ages and health statuses, with overnight pet sitting, stop-in’s, and walks! In addition, I have dealt with dogs of all different personalities. I love spending time with furry friends! I currently work part-time so I have a lot of free time to care for your fur babies! I love being active and going on walks, but also cuddling with the couch potato pets! I am able to tend to your pet before and after work, and all day on the weekends! I have experience with crating dogs, and have spent many hours walking my own dog as well as others dogs! I like choosing locations that have less traffic and other pets, to make the walk more calm for your pet. I also have experience with administering medication to pets as well!
About: I have had dogs and taken care of them my entire life. I have had cats for over 10 years. I currently have a dog and a cat who I love dearly. I currently take care of my friends dogs and cats while they are on vacation or have to work late. I’m currently working part-time with a flexible schedule. I’m available to care for and play with your pet most days and nights during the week and weekends. I can come to your home and take care of your pet in a safe environment that your pet feels comfortable in when you are away.
About: Other than having treated every injury possible over my 40 years experience, I have taken multiple courses in handling the care of dogs, including medications, shots and emergency care. I am currently retired for my full time work so I have plenty of availability., 24 hours 365 days except when I am with my grand kids. So my philosophy is that there has to be time spent socializing with dogs in addition to walking and feeding. Playing and bounding has to be a priority as well. Mutual trust and respect has to be earned by both, the handler and the dog to have a happy dog even if his/her family is away.

Neha P.
“Neha is an absolute lifesaver! She watched my cats in a pinch when I had to fly to Texas to help my mom after the most recent flood. I had a nanny cam set up so I could check on my animals and I could see how much my cats adored her. They are usually shy cats, but with Neha, they were always out and rubbing on her legs. On top of that, her animal knowledge is incredible—she even cared for my reptiles without hesitation. Truly dependable, compassionate, and knowledgeable. 10/10 would recommend Neha to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet caregiver!”

Nicolas B.
“Nick has been our dog trainer and dog sitter for two years. He is always on time and takes care of our dog. Our dog loves us, but when he sees Nick he goes right to him and jumps in the car and loves to be with him. We went away for 24 days and Nick took care of our dog and sent us pictures of him and the dog at his favorite dog park. Nick walks our dog 4 times a day. Nick is always a gentleman and he is part of our dog family. He is taking care of our dog this weekend and when we go away. I highly recommend him to Rover and to any pet person.”

I highly recommend Cameron for any of your pet care needs—your animals will be in excellent hands!”
