Monica was great! Such a relief to get detailed updates on my cat each day as I was away on vacation. She took excellent care of him and made sure our place was clean when she left (litter box + carpet spot cleanings, plus she watered our plants). She's very sweet and you can tell a natural animal lover. I would definitely book her again!

About: I've taken care of dogs of many different breeds ever since I was 7. I have had dogs my whole life and take good care of them. I have watched many family members dogs and friends dogs. I have summers off so I will have plenty of time to play with and care for your dog. I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog to keep your dog company. I will accommodate to your dog's needs, whether they need to be separated from other dogs or if they need extra attention, I will make sure that they are cared for.

My cat is usually shy and hates strangers, but Lisa took the time to get to know him during drop-in visits. By the end of the week, he was sitting in her lap getting plenty of cuddles! Lisa's Rover Cards were also well-detailed and had lots of pictures. Will be booking again!

Ali did a wonderful job with drop-in sessions for my senior dog. He loved her visits and was always happy and tired afterwards. Ali’s communication is prompt and clear. A member of my household is immunocompromised so we take precautions around illness, and Ali was flexible and very respectful.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my entire life including my own! I am also a nanny and most of the families I’ve worked with have had pets and I was more than happy to care for them too! I currently work as a nanny during week days with very flexible schedule. I don’t work weekends or Friday so I have a lot of time available! I live in an apartment and my community has two dog parks. I believe pets are like family members so they are always welcome in my couch or bed. They are the best company someone could have!

Safety is my top priority and will nurture and care for your sweetie as if they were my own. Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine!

When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of space to play and relax—my home is already full of love and wagging tails, as I have 4 dogs of my own! I know how important it is to keep pets on a consistent routine, so I stick closely to feeding, walks, and bedtime schedules to help them feel at ease. In my clients’ homes, I treat your space and your pet with the utmost respect. I follow your care instructions closely, maintain a clean and safe environment, and make sure your pet feels secure and happy while you’re away.
