“Amanda is wonderful! She did a great job taking care of our cat with asthma. She sends such cute photos and very responsive. Would definitely use her again!”


About: I have spent my entire life around animals. My home has been shared with cats, dogs, snakes, birds, a rabbit, an iguana. I was also a veterinarian assistant for over a year. I took care of any and every animal that walked through our doors; cats, dogs, ferrets, birds, rabbits. Animals of all sizes. I walked, fed, bathed and cleaned up after them. I cared for them as if they were my own. I am currently working from home but my schedule can be flexible. Let me know in advance when you need me and I will try my best to make it work! I always make sure their sleeping area is clean and tidy and I always make sure there is available fresh water. Food is given at a schedule dependent on the individuals needs. I give plenty of time for play/attention to ensure that they always feel loved and never lonely. Sometimes they want to be left alone and I respect that as well.

“Andrea's great with our dogs. We currently have her do weekly visits to let them out and play for 30min and even show them a trick or two. Will definitely recommend to others for any pet needs!”

“Paula has a lot of experience and really knows how to handle things smartly, so I trust her. I’d feel totally comfortable leaving my beloved cat with her. I was lucky to find Paula on Rover, and from now on, she’ll always be the one I trust with my cat.”



“Taylor did an excellent job with our dogs! They seemed to really like her, and she was very communicative before and during the job. We will definitely be requesting her again the next time we travel.”


About: I've owned dogs since I was 10 years old and had three (2 pitbull mixes and 1 doberman) while being teenager. I assisted with feeding, toileting, walking, and bathing them. I am now 33 years old and I own two cats who I care for (feeding, entertaining, cleaning up after, etc.). Cats arguably have different needs :P One of my hobbies is to watch dog training videos and I don't know if I can put that to good use on your pets, but maybe you'll come back and find your pooch knows some new tricks (or manners)! At the moment, I am not working at a job, so my availability is quite open to the needs of my clients and their pets. I will not be able to bring your furbabies to my home, but given the tools at your home, I will be able to care for them to the best of my ability there! I will ensure your pets have the food and water they need, have a clean litterbox (or take them out), and ensure that the home is safe for the pet in question. I would do a sweep of the house and ensure nothing is out of place or has been messed with (by your pet) before continuing with the duties you've requested me for!


About: Besides years of experience with my own pets at home (including but not limited to my dog, guinea pig, fish, bunny, turtle, and more), I have over a year experience dealing with a variety of dogs and cats as an intern at Westwood Regional Veterinary hospital. I have experience handling, walking, bathing, feeding, and playing with dogs both small and large. Not only that but I had formed such strong connections with my patients that some clients requested me for in-home dog sitting. As an incoming college student, my schedule has become more free, opening up more opportunities to care for your pets! During the summer I am available almost every day unless listed otherwise. Don’t hesitate to reach out! I am not currently accepting boarding in my own home, however I am more than happy to pet sit as well as stay overnight sitting in a clients home. I care for your pets to the best of my ability with your instructions kept in mind.

About: We truly connect with dogs from the very first meet. Whether it’s a shy pup or a high-energy explorer, dogs naturally trust us—and we build on that with calm, confident, and loving care. We’re not just here for walks or sitting—we’re here to make your dog feel safe, happy, and at home. We’ve had a natural skill for reading body language, creating instant bonds, and making every visit feel like time with a trusted friend. From senior dogs who just need a slow stroll and gentle company, to excited puppies still learning the ropes—we adjust our approach to fit each furry friend. Our pet parents often say their pup feels so comfortable with us and that we’ve become their little friend, that is the best compliment we could ask for. My husband and I am want to make this our one of our main sources of income. We will both be available weekdays and pretty flexible slots on the weekends. We are ready to offer a good schedules to build trusted clients and pet care experience. We always make sure to follow our clients wishes and rules. This pup is a part of the family, so we treat them with special care to ensure a safe and loving experience. We make sure the pup feels comfortable with us and with our tender affections, quickly doesn’t take long for them to do so.

“I trust her wholehearly with my senior dog who has specific needs. I'm so beyond happy to have found Heather. Right off the bat she gives off this vibe that she's truly going to take care of your fur baby really well. And I really appreciate how I always get pictures and updates about my little one:)”


“Kat took care of my K-9 Aqua who is a explosive detection canine (bomb dog) I needed to feel 100% confident for the care of my K-9 and Kat delivered. Kat gave the best care I could ask for. Kat was so professional and really took excellent care of Aqua. Very punctual and gave Aqua the extra care and love that she deserves. Kat takes her job very seriously and it shows in her performance . I am very pleased that I now have a professional taking care of my canine. I can now travel and not have to worry.
