Samantha took incredible care of my dog, arriving on time, providing consistent updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind while I was away!! It was clear Griffen was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Samantha again.

About: I have owned and lived with dogs and cats for my entire life. After losing my beloved shihtzu 6 years ago I decided I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others. I foster pets, dogsit/housesit board and walk dogs and I have a flexible schedule. I love dogs of all sizes but I only have space in my own home for dogs under 20lbs. I am available to do home checks and midday walks. I am available for overnights or weekends stays. I will of course follow your rules for whether pets are allowed on the furniture but as far as I am concerned, your pets are family and in my home they can go anywhere that I can go! If you’re looking for someone calm, dependable and responsible, look no further! I have a flexible schedule and can be available for midday walks, dinner, enrichment, and overnights. I love field trips and fun adventures with your pup and can also just hang out if they need companionship. I do not have any pets of my own so that I can dedicate my time to pet sitting and fostering. This enables me to host small pets in my home or to stay with pets for extended periods such as vacations.

Net has been absolutely amazing with our dogs, especially helping us adjust to our new addition to the family. We have a 5-year-old Norwegian Elkhound and a ~5-month-old Norwegian Elkhound, and she has been wonderful with both of them. On the days she walks them, I come home from work to two dogs who are calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. From the very first meeting, they adored her and were immediately comfortable playing and spending time with her. I’m incredibly thankful to have found someone so reliable and kind who has taken the stress of midday walks off my plate. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Kimberly was phenomenal with our two cats during her drop in visits! I was so happy to see that even our less social cat, enjoyed having Kim over for playtime-- it usually takes Lemon a while to warm up to strangers, but Kim was able to get her to play! I had been very nervous to leave the cats alone, but having such a caring sitter made the process much easier-- Kim's pictures of my cats eagerly playing and updates on their food & water supply gave me the peace of mind to enjoy my trip, instead of worrying about Lemon & Penne! Kim has a way with pets and I will absolutely contact her again the next time I need someone to watch my cats. I would recommend her to anyone, especially those with more reserved cats! Her energy brings them out of their shell. Thank you Kim!

Linda is a wonderful pet sitter! She watched our two cats over the holidays while we were away. She gained the trust of both cats and took such great care of them. Out cat Minka needs to take medicine, and Linda was able to give her the medication with no problems. Linda made sure our cats were fed, played with and even cleaned up around our house when the cats made a mess with their liter box. We loved having her, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! We look forward to working with her again.

This was my first time using Rover and Lauren helped walk me through the process and put me at ease. Lauren took wonderful care of my cats. She sent me updates each visit and plenty of pictures. What particularly impressed me though was my [typically] more shy cat really came around and was curious about her. Seems like my cats were impressed, too.

About: I’ve had cats my entire life and a dog since I was ten. I’ve also been volunteering at animal shelters since the beginning of 2024! I have a calm energy which is great for putting anxious pets at ease. I have the most experience with small dogs but love dogs of all sizes! I have the most availability on weekends but I have no problem making weeknight visits to provide your pets with the care they deserve! I have my own car so transportation is not an issue. Pet safety whether out and about or in your home is my top priority! I am careful to observe animal body language so I can better know when to give a pet space or remove them from a distressing situation. If you have any care or safety concerns that are specific to your home or pet, do not hesitate to let me know!

About: I have taken care of dogs, and cats my whole life, I have over 22 years experience. I’m very attentive, I like to keep everything according to their regular routine/schedule, I have a lot of experience with pets who have separation anxiety, medical issues, providing medications, extra care, etc. Patience is key to bonding, and gaining trust with fur babies. I always give fur babies space to come to me since I’m the one in their safe zone, and don’t want them to feel threatened at all. I am a very quiet person, I love to read books, and am currently studying consumer law. I would love to have a meet and greet so clients get the chance to know me, to be able to see from my interaction with your fur babies if I would be a great pick to take care of your pets, along with answering any questions you may have. I tend to ask a lot of questions so I can have all the information I need to be able to take great care of your pets. I also provide status updates to include pictures, videos, etc. during my bookings so clients can feel more at ease knowing their pets are in good hands. I can also provide references if needed. I have a lot of law enforcement clients along with friends of theirs who were referred to me by them. Your pets will always be safe, this is promise I never break. I also love to clean (I’m Asian lol), I take care of the mail, take care of trash/recycling when it needs to be taken out, and brought back in. I always leave the house the way I saw it upon arrival. I also will stay with your babies till you get home so you can see your pets are happy, and healthy, and to be able to see your home is in excellent condition. I don’t mind staying even if it’s past the time since delays can happen from car issues, flight delays, etc. so this way you don’t have to worry about your babies since I will stay till you come home, and answer any questions you may have before I leave, I never charge extra for that since that’s my policy, and anything could happen if I were to leave. I look forward to hearing from you, to our meet? & greets. I promise you won’t be disappointed ☺️ This is my only job so I’m available 24/7 to take great care of tint fur babies, to be able to tend to their needs, to be able to supervise them constantly, to be able to provide love, cuddles, and care. I’m also available on short notice I am able to stay at clients houses when house sitting, and never leave the house so I can ensure their safety, I can provide credible references, I send a lot of status updates, I encourage clients to FaceTime at anytime if they would like to see their fur babies, I like to ask a lot of questions during meet and greets so I can go over everything, get all the information I need so I can take great care of your pets, keep them safe, comfortable, and I am patient since it takes time to gain animals trust.

Was great with our 2 cats. Feed, them both, and gave medicine to our Lucky. Spent time petting and playing with them. Arrived on time, and sent pictures of our precious babies. We will hire again. The cats each gave her 2 paws up. :)

Stephanie was amazing. We met her once and knew she was the right choice. She was easily able to handle providing medication and special nutritional needs for our two older girls, as well as, keeping our younger guy busy with plenty of playtime. Steph sent plenty of pictures each day along with a detailed recap of each visit. When we were delayed 2 days getting home from our trip she was happy to extend our agreement to help us out of the jam. I would recommend to anyone needing care for their animals… as long as we don’t need her first!
