1. Travis C.
“Travis has started walking our 2.5 year old husky mix Apollo twice a week and we will be using Travis for future care as well when we are out of town. Apollo loves him and we get pictures of their walks. Travis is always respectful of my home and really prioritizes my fur baby. He is always on time if not early and excellent at communicating if he has questions or needs anything. I fully trust him with our baby and am so thankful he is here to help us out!”
2. Madeline P.
“Madeline is the best! Not only is she a reliable and caring pet owner, but she’s a great person too. She is super attentive, caring, and loving when it comes to watching both dogs and cats. She’s the best pet parent to her own dog too. You can see how much her own dog is loved and cared for. I’ve known Madeline for years and besides being great with pets, she is also super communicative, responsible, and trustworthy. I would trust her to watch my pets hands down. Can’t recommend her enough.”

7. Megan R.
“Megan is our first choice for doggie care. Both our dogs get so excited when she comes. She takes them on long walks and hikes. When she sends us to photos, our pups always look so happy! Even over a July 4th weekend, she played stayed in the closet with Hercules because he was scared of the fireworks outside, and watched a movie with him.”

About: I have owned numerous pets (dogs, reptiles, fish, ducks, chickens, bunnies) throughout my life which has created a special passion for all animals! I grew up pet sitting for friends and family, and would love to help in anyway I can! I currently have a 5 year old chihuahua and plenty of free time to shower your pet with love! I work from home 7-4 M-F and am a homebody! I have the evenings and weekends free for any special requests and walks, but I will generally be with your animal majority of the day! I have a chihuahua who will generally leave your dog alone, but I can provide any sort of care needed from special feeding instructions, medication requirements, frequent bathroom breaks, daily walks in the park, cuddles at home, and anything else your fur baby needs!

13. Sarah D.
About: With over a decade of passionate pet care experience under my belt, I stand out as a caring and versatile caregiver in the world of animal lovers. My journey began with more than 12 years of volunteering at a dog rescue, where I dedicated my time not only to nurturing and rehabilitating abandoned and neglected dogs but also to doggy behavioral training. My experience in this field has allowed me to understand and address the unique needs and challenges of each canine individual. Those three years in doggy day cares added depth to my expertise, allowing me to comprehend the dynamics of group play and individual dog needs, while my hands-on experience with training reinforced my ability to connect with and positively influence their behavior. What truly sets me apart from other sitters is my unwavering commitment to rescues. Every pet I’ve had, from my childhood until now, has been a rescued companion. This unique bond and my understanding of the special needs and nuances of rescue animals make me an empathetic and trustworthy caretaker. I don’t just care for pets; I connect with them on a profound level, knowing the importance of patience, love, and second chances. My experience isn’t limited to dogs alone; my wide array of pet care extends to other animals, demonstrating my versatility and adaptability as a caregiver. Whether it’s cats, rabbits, or birds, my compassionate approach and diverse skill set make me the ideal choice for pet owners seeking someone who truly understands and values the needs of their beloved animal companions. I’m currently in the midst of a career change, which means my availability is wide open and super flexible. With this transition, I have the luxury of dedicating my time to pet care and can easily adjust my schedule to accommodate your needs and the needs of your beloved pets. So, whether it’s daytime walks, midday cuddle sessions, or overnight stays, you can count on me to be there when you need me, offering my full attention and care to your furry friends. When I take care of pets in my client’s home, it’s all about creating a comfy and chill atmosphere for their fur babies until their human parents come back. My services might vary, but the core idea stays the same. For dog walks, I’m all about those leisurely strolls and playtime. I make sure my four-legged pals get their exercise, bathroom breaks, and some quality one-on-one hangout time. I keep their leash ready, clean up any messes, and make sure they’re safely good to go before I bounce. Now, when it comes to pet sitting or overnight stays, I’m like the temporary parent in charge. I stick to their regular feeding schedule, making sure they enjoy their favorite chow. Keeping their water bowl filled is a must, and, of course, there’s always time for play and cuddles! For cats, I’m their personal entertainer. Whether it’s with feather toys, laser pointers, or just some interactive petting, I keep them engaged and in good spirits. I’m all about keeping their space clean and free of stress. I handle any messes or litter box duty, make sure their bedding and living areas are tidy and comfy, and keep their favorite toys around for some fun. But, most importantly, I’m their guardian of peace of mind. I give them the care, attention, and love they need so they don’t miss their human parents too much. It’s all about making sure they’re happy and secure until their humans get back home.

About: * Please only request a booking if you’re really interested in my services, otherwise the dates won’t be shown for other families. Hello, dear friends - and fluffy friends. Thank you for viewing my profile. I’m Larissa, 34 years old, SAHM and I decided to return pet sitting after almost 4 years of hiatus - I had several clients and reviews at that time. Besides my love for animals, I love the outdoors and good food - I have a degree in Bachelor of Nutrition/Dietetics and a specialization in herbalism. I have traveled to 14 different countries and many US states. And gained an appreciation for different cultures and I am confident with challenging situations. When I was 10 yo I got my first dog. I also was a mommy of a lovely black chow-chow who passed away few years ago. They were everything to me and I did my best for their happiness. In addition, when I was still living in Brazil I used to help my aunt with her dogs and cats (around 15) - she rescues from the streets and fix them. I’m very opened mind, warm-hearted and calm. Happy to chat anytime soon! Since I am a stay at home mom, I have plenty time for going on walks and cuddling those fluffy babies! I just need to have assurance that they are okay around small children (I have a 2yo and a 4yo - he goes to school). I like going on walks, and I have a fenced backyard for the safety of the dogs and my children. They are welcome in and out.
15. Melanie L.
About: I've been around pets my whole life! Since I was young, my family has adopted three cats and five rescue dogs. We now have two dachshunds and treat them like special family members. I have experience dog-sitting and cat-sitting for neighbors and friends, which includes everything from walking and feeding to snuggling and playing. I recently graduated from college and am in the process of finding a job. I'm very flexible with time and currently available any day or time of the week! When caring for pets, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I always start by getting to know their specific routines and give extra attention to senior pets or those with special needs. My goal is to create a stress-free environment where they can relax and feel at home.
16. Saroja C.
About: Taking care of a puppy from 8 weeks to now 4 years old. We have a yellow lab whom we trained for the house and is an adorable dog who loves to play and go out for walks. One of us is wfh and we have two teen girls who love dogs and enjoy dog walking and playing fetch in the backyard. Our dog is so happy to be around them. We have a fenced yard for the dog to run around. We take our dog for a walk twice a day and there is a park near by for more exercise.
17. Jasmine M.
About: I grew up with a few dogs for many years. They eventually passed away and my family didn't get another one till years later. I forgot how meaningful a dog can be until then. Our dog now his relaxed most of the time but when he's ready to play I'm always prepared. Our favorite game is hide and seek, he's surprisingly better than I am. I know he enjoys his long walks just as much as I do. I've administered medication and well as put his poop bags to good use everyday! Bathing is not easy but I assure you he gets rewarded with one too many treats. As for other dogs, I ensure they feel, safe, comfortable, respected and engaged. I want their experience to be just as wonderful as mine. As of right now the only time's I'm unavailable are Friday and Saturday afternoon/evenings/nights (4pm and later). Other than that I can come attend to your animal whatever time, and as many times work best for you! In my home my cat and dogs roam free, though they do have areas -like our kitchen- that they are not allowed in but may sit at the doorway for company. My cat uses her litter box as she pleases and I take my dog for frequent walks. Both get lots of playtime for stimulation as well as well as rewarded for exceptional behavior. As for clients, I assure to ask how your pet needs to be care for. If there are any special directions, and what to do best to make them comfortable so the visit/stay can go smooth.
18. Man Ching S.
“She is a very kind person, truly has a great touch with animals as well. She is very thoughtful and polite to all I have seen her interact with. She is the type of person to value kindness and being a hard worker more than most other people. Her work ethic is truly inspiring or encouraging in a lot of ways.”
19. Bo H.
“Bo was great with our pup and also flexible with scheduling and easy to communicate with. (The last sitter I had through Rover cancelled 1 hour before the appointment.). I would highly recommend Bo. Thanks for taking care of our pup!”
20. Asmitha R.
“Asmitha is my goto sitter for my dog Momo. I receive so many pictures and details during the stay and I can tell Momo always has a good time with them! Momo also gets good exercise between walks and play time with them. Asmitha is super responsive as well and I highly recommend her and would be using Asmitha's services again!”
