“Amanda was great! We have a small, super friendly but high energy dog that will not sleep through the night unless she’s had enough exercise. Inanna slept through the night after just one 30 minute walk with Amanda. Will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“Teffni is the best! She is reliable and responsible and flexible with your needs/dog’s needs. Our dog loved her and had a great time on his walks. We would definitely hire her again!”

About: I love spending time with animals and have experience caring for dogs through walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and daily care. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and loving environment where pets feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy staying active throughout the week. I can consistently make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need every day. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved whether they are in my home or their owner’s home. I follow feeding schedules, provide walks, playtime, attention, clean-up, and make sure pets stick to their normal routines to help them feel relaxed and happy.
About: I have been the caretaker for 2 dogs and have 4 years of experience caring for cats. One of the dogs I was caretaker for had special mobility needs. I am big on playtime with dogs and cats, but I especially love playing fetch with a frisbee for dogs. I have a flexible schedule that will allow me to care for your animals. I look forward to spending quality time with your pets! I work part-time in the evenings, which gives me the flexibility to offer comrpehensive day time care. I am a morning person who likes to get an early start with my day. I have the utmost respect for my clients' pets and their homes. I would treat both like they were my own. I value clear communication around expectations for the home, as that will allow me to provide a higher quality of care.
“We've had to be away from home for long days for several weeks, and Anibal has been checking in on our dog twice/day almost every day. He is absolutely reliable, communicates extremely well & has been a real lifesaver during these times we've needed someone to keep an eye on our sweet dog.”


“Jason was great! He took care of our animals while we were out of town. Quickly responded to texts, and sent photos of our animals when he was with them. Greatly appreciated Jason’s high quality service!”

About: I have significant experience caring for animals, including both dogs and cats. I have previously worked as a pet sitter, where I was responsible for ensuring pets were properly fed, exercised, and well cared for. I also had my own dog for about seven years before he passed away, which gave me long-term, hands-on experience in responsible pet ownership. I genuinely love animals and always make it a priority to ensure that the dogs and cats in my care are healthy, safe, and emotionally supported. I typically have open availability after work on Fridays and throughout the weekends. In addition to my strong caregiving abilities, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet and be present when they want to play or go outside. During the week, I work in the mornings; however, I am available Monday through Friday in the afternoons. On Saturdays and Sundays, I am available all day. My older daughter is home during the mornings and will be assisting me with caring for the dogs or cats during that time to ensure they continue receiving attentive and reliable care. Your dog will have plenty of opportunities for exercise and play. Whenever they would like to go outside, I will gladly take them for a walk, to a nearby park, or allow them to play in the backyard or front yard under my supervision. They are also welcome to relax and move freely around the house. I will always be attentive to their needs and ensure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

She was informative and responsible. This was my first time using rover and I had a great experience thanks to Gio. She has a true love for dogs and what she does. I will definitely work with her in the future.”
