“Tara was fantastic! Super communicative and took great care of our boy. Sent us lots of pictures and kept in touch the whole time. She also took great care of our house and left the place spotless. We’d hire her again in a heartbeat and would definitely recommend her to friends or family.”

“We felt very comfortable with having Kate dog-sitting our little Simba in an our home during our trip abroad. She took great care of our boy and kept us well-informed about Simba with pictures and texts. We were easily able to reach her by phone to communicate about any home related or Simba related issues while we were away. She seemed mature, responsible, intelligent, and loving toward our boy. She took in our mail while we were away and we came back to a clean and well kept-up home as well as a dog who seemed quite content with the companionship he received from Kate.”

“Judy was fantastic! I couldn't recommend her more. Went above and beyond with our dog, communicated often & sent photos regularly. Gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was well taken care of and loved on while we were out of town. Thank you again times a million!!!”

About: I have owned 3 dogs personally, whom I raised since they were puppies. I unfortunately had to put my girl down 3 years ago. I am not ready for a new dog, but I love dogs, and they feed my soul. I can help train puppies and dogs in potty training and leash walking. I love Dogs! I am able to board up to 2 small dogs in my home at the same time. I am the caregiver to my cousin's two dogs and a cat when she is out of town, which can be every three months or whenever she needs me. I have fostered dogs for family members in my home. I am currently in school online and meet once a week on Thursdays until the end of May, when my training will be completing my Doula certification. I am driving for Uber, so I can make my own schedule and adjust it to fit the needs of my clients. Caring for pets in my home or theirs is like caring for another human family member. Everyone has different needs, and so do animals. I meet the animal where they are. If they are not sure of me, I stay calm and let my energy assist me, letting them know that I am a kind, caring, and safe person who means no harm.

“Ursula was amazing. She stayed with our puppies all day and sent daily pictures updates. She was great with an anxious dog that needs medication and our blind puppy as well. Will definitely hire Ursula again!”

“Thomas provided excellent care for our Bella while we were away which gave us such peace of mind. He’s caring, communicative, timely and so much more. We would recommend him 100% every time!”

“Lainie was great with our dog George, and watching our home. She would send us a picture at least once/day, and was great keeping in touch. First time using Rover.com. Would highly recommend Lainie!”


“Kyla did wonderful with my dogs and cat!! My house looked even better than it did when I left and my pets were so happy when we got back home from our trip!! Would 100% recommend and will be using again!”

“Kuiana was amazing with our boys. She was attentive and stayed with them, giving them cuddles and attention during our trip. She was flexible when our plans had to shift. She has been respectful, punctual, and a joy to work with. Thank you, Kuiana! We would absolutely have you back!”
