About: I’ve had dogs and animals my entire life and I always will. Forgive me if I neglect the human bond cause I’ll probably be too busy trying to get your pets attention! I thrive in running this business cause I make myself ready and available to get to know the ins and outs of each pet and their owners. It’s important for me to understand all personalities and habits so their stay with me is the most comfy experience since they will be missing their persons (you) for a little bit. I’ll do my absolute best job to ensure a trust from not only them but you, that will make your future stays unquestionable! I’m self employed and work from home. I have my own schedule so making time for others is second nature and a good habit I’ve developed. If I’m being honest. Wanting to be around animals all the time is my full time job! Extremely flexible and I manage a great routine to fit the day to the pet and not just fit the pet in. My home is open for pets to wonder free and at will, I have a huge fenced yard and I’m happy to crate if needed! My home is pet proof and I adjust to any needs and routine to help keep each pet on their own schedule for minimal disruption while pet parents are away!

Kody was excellent watching our dog and cat several times recently. He is on time and dependable. Our dog is old and he took the time to care for him - and had no problem giving him meds. Thank you Kody! We’ll definitely use him again.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I had the joy of caring for my dog for 14 wonderful years—he was truly family and taught me so much about love and responsibility. I also cared for my cat for 3 years, and though he's not living with me now, I still adore him and visit him often. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of both dogs and cats, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and affection I gave my own. I a full-time time student, but pet care fits perfectly into my mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m committed to making time for the pets I care for, whether it’s early morning feedings, evening walks, or weekend visits. Your pet’s well-being is a priority, and I’ll make sure they get the attention and love they need when you're away. I believe pets feel safest and most comfortable in their own environment, which is why I provide care in your home—not mine. This helps reduce stress for your pet and keeps their routine as normal as possible. I always respect your space, follow your instructions closely, and treat your home with the same care I would my own. I’m also happy to send regular photo updates and check-ins so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

Isabel was absolutely fantastic with our six-month-old puppy, Oliver! This was our first time leaving him with someone new, and our original sitter fell through at the last minute. I reached out to Isabel on Rover just two days before we needed someone, and she responded within about 20 minutes and was able to help us out. From the very beginning, Isabel made us feel completely at ease. We FaceTimed beforehand, and she asked incredibly thoughtful questions—especially since Oliver is still a puppy and in the middle of training. She asked what commands we use, exactly how we say them, what his routine looks like around meals, and other questions I honestly wouldn’t have even thought to bring up with a sitter. When she came over, she let us know as soon as she arrived and afterward sent a detailed update with photos. She told us when she fed Oliver, what games they played, how he behaved, and even shared thoughtful observations about his personality. I really appreciated how attentive and engaged she was rather than simply stopping by to let him out and feed him. Most importantly, I came away from the experience feeling incredibly confident trusting Isabel with Oliver. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches and takes the responsibility seriously. All of her amazing reviews make complete sense after experiencing it firsthand. Isabel is a 10/10, and we would absolutely book her again. I highly recommend her!

About: Hi, I’m Tracey! I specialize exclusively in providing gentle and loving care for small-breed dogs and all cats. Smaller pets have unique needs, preferences and personalities, and I understand them well! Whether your small pup needs a careful walk or a lap to snuggle in or your kitty requires calm patience, I am there to ensure they feel safe and loved while you are away. Safety is always a priority with small pets—including avoiding encounters with aggressive or large dogs, and properly using harnesses to protect petite frames. Kitties receive the utmost patience and respect for strict boundaries, and/or all the playtime they desire. Dependable and Communicative, I adhere strictly to your instructions. You will receive a detailed update and plenty of fun photos each time I visit! What A Visit Looks Like: Petite Pups: A size-appropriate walk and/or indoor/outdoor playtime and potty time clean-up. Fresh water, treats/food, and a cuddle in my lap if so desired! Fancy (all) Cats: Fresh food and water, meticulous attention to the litter box(es) and play or quiet companionship depending on kitty preferences. I look forward to meeting your petite and fancy family members. Let’s set up a Meet & Greet to ensure we are a perfect match! I work full-time, standard hours during the week so I am able to offer reliable, dedicated visits during mornings, evenings, and weekends! This structure works perfectly for pets on a consistent schedule or weekend companionship while you are away. My Visiting Hours: Weekdays (Mon-Fri): Morning visits before 8 AM and evening visits after 5:30 PM. Weekends (Sat-Sun) Fully open with flexible, all-day availability. I keep my home very clean and cat friendly. Litter is changed daily and kitties are brushed routinely. I have cat trees and scratching opportunities placed throughout along with favorite toys always available.

About: I spent more than a decade loving a very large, very opinionated German Shepherd named Ruta through epilepsy, severe allergies, endless medication schedules, and his senior years, so “high-maintenance” pets don’t scare me. I tend to love them even harder. These days I’m supervised by Edwin, my mini Aussie rescue, who has strong opinions about other dogs, delivery trucks, and apparently several completely innocent squirrels. Living with him has made me very comfortable with boundaries, reactivity, slow introductions, and the fact that not every dog wants to be everybody’s friend. I’m also the person who genuinely wants the six-paragraph document explaining exactly how your dog likes breakfast. Give me the quirks, the routines, the medications, the weird little rules, the favorite toy, the thing they absolutely will not do unless you ask them in a very specific way. I want to know all of it. Basically: I take your pet seriously without taking myself too seriously. And yes, I will probably send you too many pictures. My schedule is pretty flexible, which means I can usually work around your pet’s normal routine. Walks, meals, potty breaks, meds, couch hangs; tell me what they’re used to and I’ll do my best to keep things consistent. Tell me everything. What’s their routine? What makes them nervous? Are they an escape artist? A sock eater? Do they lose their mind when a skateboard goes by? How are they on leash? I’m big on respecting a pet’s boundaries and keeping their routine as familiar as possible. I’d much rather know about a quirk or trigger ahead of time than be surprised by it later.

Meg did a great job with my kitty cats! I’ve had her as a sitter two times so far, and I’ve always come home to happy healthy kitties and a clean home. She’s good about replying quickly, and about sending pictures of them at each visit (even got some action shots of play time!). She did everything that I asked (fed them, gave them clean water, cleaned the litter box, and played with them), plus she even took out the trash when it got full! Overall I would recommend Meg as a sitter :)

Arantxa always goes above expectations, she’s set such a high standard it’s such a bummer when I can’t book her. She sends the best photos and updates and that are so adorable and funny. She’ll bring in packages, tell you if something is wrong or out of the ordinary at home, and help out in so many ways with pet care and more. She’s so reliable and trustworthy I am always at ease knowing she is caring for my pets. She’s so reliable genuinely loves animals, the best pet sitter I’ve ever had!!

Regan did a wonderful job taking care of our kitty Damien while we were away. He is old and we were worried to leave him alone for so long and she did a great job sending updates and photos to assure us he was safe and taken care of. In addition there was an issue with the key we had made for her to access the house and she was very flexible with meeting a locksmith to get a new one made while we were out of state. I really appreciate the extra time and effort she put in regarding this. Definitely would use her again to take care of our baby. Thank you!
