Chris seemed genuinely interested in our cats at our meet and greet and showed a great level of conscientiousness through the Rover cards he sent. He interacted with our cats, petted them and played with them. He carried out a few extra requests and more. All we could ask for in a pet sitter!

Marlyn did an exceptional job bonding with our kitties while we were away. Even our shy girl eventually warmed up to her and got the cuddles she needed in our absence. Before we left for our trip, Marlyn was extremely thorough and asked great questions to ensure her time with our girls went as smooth as possible. She also handled giving preventative inhaler treatments to both of our asthmatic kitties - which is not an easy task to do for cats! Her kindness and integrity shone through with every check-in and we are so grateful to her for everything she did. Thanks a bunch, Marlyn!

Rachel and Wesley were absolute lifesavers when we had to unexpectedly be out of town overnight. We booked them at the very last minute, and they stepped right in to let our boys out a couple of times while we were gone. They sent great photos, thoughtful updates, and communicated quickly and clearly the whole time. Very kind and professional. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!

I’ve never used Rover before but needed someone to pop in on our 3 cats each day while we were on vacation. I picked Kelly because she had great reviews and repeat clients. She came over for a meet and greet and I liked her immediately. While we were gone, I was notified when she checked in and out, she sent pics, and a brief note about each visit! I’d definitely recommend her to anyone and I’ll absolutely reach out to her again when needed.

About: Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve worked with playful puppies, shy rescues, and older dogs who need a slower, more gentle approach. I’m especially patient and attentive, whether that means reinforcing basic training, sticking to a detailed routine, or just giving extra cuddles and reassurance. What makes me different is how much I truly treat every pet like family. I don’t just “watch” pet, I bond with them. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy, and comfort so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. I am currently a graduate student doing all online classes, so my schedule can quite be flexible! I have reliable transportation as well. I only have hour long workouts that can be moved to whatever time preferred. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or specific preferences, so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. Safety is always a top priority. I’m careful to secure doors and entry points to prevent escapes, keep the environment clean and hazard-free, and respect any household rules you have in place. I also pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and well-being so I can quickly notice if anything seems off.

Kim did an amazing job with our dogs! One of our dogs is usually very scared of new people but warmed up to Kim very quickly and felt safe with her (she has a very kind and calming presence). I felt very at ease knowing Kim was taking such good care of them. I will definitely be using Kim again for any dog sitting in the future!

Regan was absolutely wonderful with our fur baby. The meet and greet went well, and we were able to discuss all of our dog's quirks. She listened and adapted to his need. She sent plenty of pictures and provided detailed updates. We could clearly see how happy he was under her care. She will certainly be added to our go-to dog sitters list!

About: Hii ! my name is Maasha ( Pronounced like the month of May and ah sha) or Maemae ! I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs. I have a 6-year-old Shih Tzu named Paris, and she’s the sweetest girl ever. I also spend time at dog shelters playing with and caring for dogs, which has helped me get comfortable with different personalities and energy levels. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I can assure you that I’m very patient and attentive. I always make sure your fur babies feel comfortable and safe with me. I’m used to feeding, walking, giving medication if needed, and spending quality time with dogs. Pet care fits really well into my routine because I have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, where I can stay with your pet and keep them company. I make sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention they need, and I’ll always keep you updated so you know your pet is in good hands. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for pets. I always follow your instructions and keep your pet on their normal routine so they feel comfortable. I also have a large trail park near my place for walks if approved. I’ll make sure your pet is safe and happy

About: I love sitting for small and medium sized dogs. I understand the importance of leaving your dog in good hands when you are not available to care for your pet. My summer schedule is very flexible. I am now able to pick up more opportunities during the day and some evenings. Advanced notification is preferred for planning purposes. I have a fenced patio, and my condo community has lots of green areas for dogs to walk and play. Quiet neighborhood with respectful residents. Your dog will have plenty of space to explore!

About: 🐾 Pet Care experience Today, I share my home with two happy, well-socialized Corgis—Fabio and Roxy—and two gentle cats. I don’t have children, so my focus and energy are fully devoted to my pets and the dogs I care for in my home. I have a deep understanding of what it means to care for special needs dogs. My first Corgi, Floyd, began having seizures at just one year old and continued to experience them regularly—ranging from several a week to several a day—until he passed away at eight. He required an intensive medical routine that included seven medications a day on a strict schedule. I cared for him with complete dedication, and that experience taught me how to stay calm under pressure, follow detailed care plans, and respond intuitively to what a dog needs—physically and emotionally. Because of that experience, I’m confident and fully comfortable handling dogs with medical needs, including timed medications, dietary restrictions, insulin, supplements, or other ongoing care. Your dog’s health and safety will always be treated with the same diligence and love I give my own. With both of my Corgis still young and playful, we’re also happy to welcome puppies, as long as they are crate trained or currently in the process of crate training. I understand the patience and consistency required during that phase, and I’m happy to support that routine while keeping everyone safe and comfortable. I exclusively offer care in my home and am happy to accommodate your dog’s individual needs. Whether your pup is active, aging, recovering, or just needs extra attention, I provide a clean, secure, and loving space with a fenced yard, daily walks, and plenty of affection. My goal is to make your dog feel relaxed, safe, and part of the family while you’re away. 🕒 How Pet Care Fits Into My Day As a part-time hairstylist with a flexible schedule, I’m able to plan my days around the needs of the dogs in my care. I’m in and out throughout the day but rarely gone for more than a few hours at a time, which allows me to maintain a consistent, calm routine for the pets in my home. My younger Corgi, Roxy (age one), is only crated when we’re not home, while Fabio, our older Corgi, prefers more freedom—but both are fully crate trained. I also have multiple crate sizes available to safely and comfortably accommodate visiting dogs, depending on their size and needs. My home is quiet, child-free, and centered around animals. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into my day—it’s part of my daily rhythm. From walks and playtime to rest and individualized care, your dog will be in a peaceful, safe, and loving environment while you’re away. 🐾 Safety, Trust & Environment I take safety and trust seriously, and I’ve created a calm, secure environment in my home where dogs can feel truly at ease. I have a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time, and dogs are never left outside unattended. Inside, I maintain a clean and structured space with multiple crate sizes available for comfort and safety when needed. I am a child-free home, and the noise level stays low throughout the day—making it an ideal environment for senior dogs or those who may be more sensitive or anxious in busier settings. I carefully manage introductions between my pets and yours, and I’m experienced in keeping animals separate if needed for comfort or safety. I follow all feeding, medication, and sleep routines exactly as provided and treat every dog like one of my own—with attentiveness, patience, and love. In case of a serious emergency, we are located very close to MedVet.

About: Dog walking and pet sitting was my first job growing up, helping neighbors and friends with their pets. I’ve always had a love for animals and grew up around dogs, so spending time with them comes naturally to me. I believe pets are family, and I take extra care to treat each one like my own, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I currently have multiple days off mid-week which allows me the flexibility to help out while you are at work on out of town. Currently I’m not available to host at my home, although I do have two cats, and had one dog until she passed away last year; they all run a tight ship.

I was absolutely satisfied with the drop-in visits Lauren did for 10 days with my 2 cats! When she visited for meet and greet, the cats immediately took to her and so I felt very comfortable leaving for such an extended time. Lauren sent me copious amounts of pics of which I looked forward to seeing everyday. She did a fantastic job taking care of my little ESA's and they enjoyed her company so much I think they forgot about me-haha. I also want to mention that Lauren did all this while dealing with a fever and illness one day, and a raging snowstorm the next. She went above and beyond, which is why not only do I recommend her well-deserved star status sitting, but I will be booking with her for future drop-ins when I am out of town. Thank you Lauren!
