Sydney was great with Apollo and Leeloo. She always communicates and send regular updates which is very much appreciated. It is comforting to know my animals are well taken care of with her.

About: I'm currently studying to become a certified dog trainer through Animal Behavior College, with additional certification to work specifically with shelter and rescue animals. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies, seniors, and those needing a little extra patience and care. What sets me apart is my passion for every part of pet care—from training and enrichment to comfort and fun. I also run a small pet business where I make homemade dog treats, leashes, bandanas, and more. Whether we're out for a walk, snuggling during a stay, or working on basic manners, I make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved like one of my own. I work part-time at a bank, but outside of that, my schedule is very flexible. I have plenty of time during the week and weekends to dedicate to pet care, whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, boarding, or overnight stays. I make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve! Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, pets have a clean, cozy, and secure space where they can relax and feel at ease. I provide plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles, and I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep things consistent and stress-free. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them like family—paying close attention to their needs, behaviors, and preferences. I'm also trained in reading canine body language and am working toward certification in dog training and shelter care, so I'm confident handling dogs of all temperaments with patience and care.

Rayme was amazing! We needed someone short notice, and even with that, her communication was great, and she made sure to spend time and give some love to all three of our fur babies. We're booking with her for a longer trip and definitely feel great about leaving our babies in her care!

About: I think it’s very important that dogs get their daily exercise! It’s always a bonus for treats. They need their playtime and I ensure they are happy! I would like the flexibility to be able to care for dogs after my full time job Monday through Friday. Mostly evenings will be beneficial for me. I think dogs deserve to be loved and shown attention! I ensure they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t eat and that they are shown affection as well.

Jen was absolutely wonderful and took such loving care of my two kitties while we were away. She went above and beyond when we were concerned with one of the cat’s health. Jen is very professional. It’s quite evident that she loves animals, and I’m so glad we found her on Rover. Delightful to work with.

This was my first time leaving the dogs to be checked on by a non family member. Morgan was so kind to do a meet and greet a week or 2 in advance. My 3 dogs loved her instantly! Morgan let me know when she arrived for the drop in, sent me a picture, and texted again when she left. I will absolutely request Morgan again!

About: I am a Division 1 soccer player that manages time very well. With that, I am very active and responsible. I grew up with dogs my whole life and had to end up taking care of 2 of my senior dogs. They were a lot to take care of but, that didn’t matter to me as long as they were feeling loved. We have adopted 2 puppies within the past 3 years, so I do understand the commitment it takes to keep them in order. I have taught my puppies tricks, like sit, shake, spin and lay down! I do work part-time in the restaurant business so my shifts only last 4-5 hours max. I am very active, so I get my puppies walked usually 2-3 times a day. Whenever I am pet sitting, I make the pet my priority. I usually plan my schedule on what I have to do around the pet I am sitting. I provide safe, loving care tailored to each pet’s routine. In clients’ homes, I keep their routine consistent with feeding, walks/litter care, and lots of attention, plus regular updates for peace of mind.

About: I've had a dog all of my life! some have come and gone but the one who was my rock was my dog savé, she was my best friend! she passed in 2018 but there's not a moment I don't think of her! Since I do have a history of dogs, I do think I would be a perfect fit for caring for your dog/s! I also am very good with cats! My family calls me a cat whisperer because of how I make friends with them so easily! I am currently in my senior year of highschool, so my schedule should be completely free after 3! I am free any day of the week! I will treat your pet as if they are my own, and yes that means talking in a voice! I have such a big heart for animals and will do anything for them!

About: I bring extensive professional experience in animal care and behavior, including years in shelter leadership and hands-on behavior work with fearful, anxious, and reactive animals. My background includes behavior assessment, stress reduction, enrichment planning, and individualized care for dogs who struggle with transitions, confinement, or unfamiliar people. I am especially comfortable working with dogs who need structure, patience, and clear communication rather than force or correction. I prioritize low stress handling, predictable routines, and meeting dogs where they are emotionally, not just physically. My goal is always to keep animals safe, supported, and understood while their people are away. I maintain a flexible, well-managed schedule that allows me to accommodate a wide range of client needs, including weekdays, weekends, and varying visit times, with appropriate advance notice. I care for pets by balancing structure with relationship-building. I focus on creating predictable routines, clear communication, and calm expectations while also prioritizing rapport, confidence, and emotional safety. I pay close attention to body language and stress signals and adjust care in real time to meet each pet where they are emotionally. Rather than forcing compliance, I help animals work through fear, overstimulation, or uncertainty at a pace they can handle. Whether in my home or a client’s home, my goal is to create a low-stress environment where pets feel safe, understood, and supported, which allows genuine progress and trust to develop. My pets at home enjoy structure along with play and lots of quiet time. My dog, Albany, enjoys finding hidden treats in a fenced backyard. My three cats, Duchess, Wanda, and Addie, enjoy plenty of naps, wand toy play time, and many hours of cuddling and watching tv.

I love Isabel! She is so attentive, caring and sweet to my kitties! Always flexible and willing to work around holidays - it’s so hard to find a good and trustworthy sitter, I am so grateful I have one. If you have any hesitation booking with her, I am here to tell you everything is ok, book with her immediately! She even kept me updated on packages delivered while I was gone. If you are looking for pet sitting or even drop ins, Isabel is the sitter for you, tbh. 10/10 would recommend and book again with her, (and will!)

Sydney did a great job with my elderly cat. She did drop in visits to ensure he had food and water and she cleaned his litter box. I would recommend her and I will use her again in the future.
