About: I've been a chorkie mom for 15 years and I'm happy to say Pinky is still going strong! I have 6 years of experience taking care of 2-3 dogs at a time for family and friends, including senior dogs who require a little more care and affection. I love spending any free time I have playing with and caring for animals. I'm a part-time registered nurse. During my off days, I am available to play and care with your fur babies. I am also available for boarding during the week and on weekends but will have to be notified ahead of time. Safety is my priority for pinky which will be the same for your dog. Spacious backyard with cameras surrounding the property. Dogs will not be left unattended at any moment while outside. Out of an abundance of caution, dogs in my care will get an apple air tag attached to their collar. Kitchen counter tops and table will be cleared during their stay to avoid anything potentially harmful.

About: I started off rescuing my cats to helping neighborhood strays find a loving home. I know how important our furry friends are which is why I will take care of your pet as if they were my own. I love interacting with them. Spending time with your little ones will make my day. Don’t worry your pets will be in good hands. I am reliable, honest and responsive. I will reply back within 24 hours. Also I have a flexible schedule, if you need me to take care of your pet outside of my schedule something can be arranged. Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile. I’m currently working full time but I’ll make sure to set time aside to care for another pawsome friend when in need! They’re all so adorable! I’m constantly making sure my pets are hydrated, well fed and have unlimited amount of love at all times. Not to mention treats and toys are one of the best ways to their hearts

“My dog, Atticus, age 2, had his first full day with Margaret a few days ago. He was very well taken care of including a couple of walks. He was happy to play fetch and take naps after walking. It was easy to tell by his face and composure that he had a great day...there was no visible stress when he returned home. Another dependable companion 'star' in his young life when I am not around! Many thanks, M :)”

“The good reviews were true. Suki is a bit anxious but settle in with Michal quickly and seemed happy. Suki did not hide the way she usually does. Suki enjoyed Michal's dog as a playmate. She was regularly walked and attended to, as someone was usually home. Michal sent me photos every day of my trip and a video of my pup playing fetch. I would use Michal again.”

About: I have had pets since I was a baby. I had two rabbits who I took care of during my childhood, such as feeding and brushing. When I was around 10 years old we adopted my current dog, who I walk and play with frequently. My family often petsits other animals as well, mostly dogs. I have helped with catering to these dogs needs since I was 9 and have always loved getting the opportunity to take care of them! These experiences have taught me the responsibility necessary to actually take care of animals. I am available to pet sit the entire week except on Mondays. I am a very flexible person and do not mind cancellations or late notices. I have a large yard my dog loves to play in, along with The Canal Trail as a 2 minute walk away from my house. I often take toys from our large toy box to go out into the yard and play with him.

I’ve left my Lubear (55lb Kintamani Mix Dog) with Yajaira multiple times and she was nothing but the best. She took care of my baby girl like she was her own. She was very responsive to my questions and let me know updates if I mentioned anything worrying about my baby. Forever will continue to book her! 1000% recommend.

Victoria did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Kujo! She made sure all the pets were safe, gave him plenty of love and attention, and treated him like one of her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I highly recommend Victoria to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!

This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! She took wonderful care of my dog, kept me updated with messages, and gave me complete peace of mind. She was also incredibly accommodating when I realized I had forgotten to include an extra day on my original booking, and she made the process so easy. On top of that, she patiently helped me navigate the Rover app as a first-time user, which I really appreciated. Kind, reliable, and communicative—I would absolutely book with her again!
