About: I’ve taken care of friends, family and neighbors dogs since I was 11. I love all dogs of all ages and have 2 large dogs of my own. I’m currently finishing up my masters degree and won’t be working all summer so I’ll have lots of availability for walks and drop ins as needed. I have two very friendly dogs but have dog gates and crates space is ever needed or for when I may have to leave home.
“Eden is great. She is very pleasant and calm. She has been walking my Australian Cattle Dog for just over a week, and she does just what we asked her to do which was to poop her out some! Mission accomplished!! Thank you Eden!”
“Greg has met with Sasha for a meet and greet, then the next day for a 60 minute walk. My Sasha came home exhausted and happy! Looking forward to doing more business with Greg.”
“My dog is often skittish with new people and doesn't let them touch him right away. That usually takes a while. He felt comfortable with Benjamin and let him pet him right away! Benjamin has a lot of experience with different dogs and it shows with his care and patience. I highly recommend!”
“Tabatha really saved us during a week where our schedules kept changing. She was extremely flexible with the timing, and always responded right away to any communications. Of course she also took great care to learn about my dog’s needs and how to best walk him. My dog immediately loved her and had the best time playing in the dog park. I would definitely recommend Tabatha!”
“Jessica was great, she contacted me about needs and expectations before scouts walk and stopped by for a meet and greet! She really cared for scout on her check in and even made sure she had plenty of water before she left! Will definitely be using Jessica again.”

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was a child I am very capable at taking care of animals with love. I've had animals that were old, young, and animals that have had health issues. I feed and brush my cat 2 times a day. Play with him for a couple hours a day. Him and I sit on the roof together and stargaze. I always make sure pets have access to water, food (when needed) and to using the bathroom. I always approach animals with sensitivity, patience, kindness, and fun.

I am a veterinary assistant and am comfortable with animals of all ages and sizes, as well as with responsibilities such as administering medication, walks, special diets, etc. I work and go to school part time. I have the most freedom on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, but can also periodically check on your pet on the other days of the week. I can do overnights as well. I will work with your pets needs whether that is specific feeding times, a walking schedule, or other routines that you and your pet typically do.

About: I'm a retired veteran. I'm trustworthy and passionate about animals. I've had dogs in my life since I was a child. I have a granddog who stops by now and again. I love dogs and promise to treat your dog as my my own. My husband and I are both retired military so we are able to cater to your schedule and to your dogs needs. I'm happy to administer medication if needed. We have a large fenced in back yard with a playground mulch base, shade sails and a covered patio. I have a kiddie pool I use on occasion for our dogs. Inside is air-conditioned and we have plenty of dog friendly couch seating in the living room.
About: I have had cats most of my life, about 20 years, and I know that they are the bosses. They may have a reputation for being loners but most of the time they like attention, just on their own terms. I come up with clever games to get their wiggles out and treat each cat the way they like to be treated. They may seem like loners but playing is very important. Each cat has a different personality and that is very important to understand. I also take great photos and will gladly take some super cute portraits of your furry baby so you see that they are doing well while you are away. Your cats will be well fed, with clean litter boxes and lots of purrs when you get home.
About: I have a lifetime of hands-on experience with dogs. I've fostered several pups—one of whom I adopted—and truly understand canine behavior, needs, and comfort. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for like family in a safe, loving environment that feels like home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work a part-time remote internship with a flexible schedule. I'm home most of the day, allowing me to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship. Whether it’s regular walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping pets company, I’m available when needed and always prioritize their well-being and comfort. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals can feel safe and relaxed. I stick to their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I keep pets supervised, ensure they have plenty of enrichment, and create cozy spaces for rest. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their familiar surroundings and routines, keep the space clean, and give regular updates to ensure peace of mind. In both cases, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience and attentiveness.
About: I am a big animal lover and have been pet sitting for about 2 years now. I am really good with animals and am looking for any pets that need to be pet sitted.

I am very flexible with pet care and my schedule. Anytime you need me I can be there.I will take any safety precautions requested. In the past I have done petting and left pets in crate pet owners request.

About: I've been fortunate to have grown up with many pets, particularly big dogs and cats. I began pet sitting for family friends, which expanded into a larger network over time.

I work remotely part-time, and my schedule allows for flexibility. I’m available on weekdays after 1 and all day on weekends. I’m happy to drop by whether it’s for potty breaks and a walk, or overnight stays if you need. I honor any routine and notes you may leave, and always follow the pet’s schedule as closely as possible. I treat the home with respect, ensuring that things are as you left them and that any pet accidents are taken care of. I provide regular updates, and will alert you if there are changes in the pet’s appetite or health.

“If you’re looking for someone to care for and attend to your furry friends, then I highly recommend Caro! She is amazing with animals and has been a delight with my dog, Sombra. Her biggest strength is knowing exactly what my dog needs as she was able to help bring Sombra out of her shell around strangers. Caro is amazing and I know Sombra is in good hands when I’m away.”

Ethanee R.Star Sitter
“Ethanee took care of our very finicky 22-year-old cat for 9 days over the holidays. Our cat requires twice daily medication and has special dietary needs. We came home to one very happy, very healthy cat. She provided us daily updates, was meticulous about cleaning the litter box and keeping water cleaned and refilled. As a plus, the house was also spotless!!! Not only is our cat very finicky, we are also very picky about who we trust to care for our fur-baby. We will ask Ethanee to cat sit any time we leave. We cannot thank her enough for the care and attention she showered on our little Reggie.”

Katie & Pisces K.
“Katiek has watched my newfiepoo when I have had to go out of town. Katiek's pets are well socialized and good playmates. Katiek is attentive and loves my dog like her own. The yard is fenced, includes a doggie pool, is kept clean of poo. There is access to food and water. The dogs get plenty of exercise running around the yard and have access to toys and the air conditioning when inside. I recommend Katiek for the owners of well behaved Doodles.”
adielenah p.
“Lenah never used to like cats but now, she is crazy about them. She had a pitbull named Chaos for 13 years and after he passed from age, she and her husband got their cat Lou. And that cat, let me tell you, is a handful. Somehow she is always so patient with him and Fitz. In the 7 years I have known her, she has always been very responsible and kind. She even taught karate to toddlers for 2 years. She loves caring for others and you can see that with how she cares for her own pets. She is punctual and honest and she's one of my favorite people.”

Alejandro is a kind, responsible and excellent dog walker! He did great with our somewhat-unruly but sweet pitbull. We look forward to working with him again!
There are not enough words to say in appreciation of Amanda. She is professional, canine knowledgeable. Reliable and a veteran. Go Amanda!
Greg is a natural dog whisperer. I was reluctant when I first started using Rover, but I knew that I didn’t want to board my dogs every time I left town. My goal was to find a dog walker with the aspirations of finding a house sitter who could stay with our dogs when we travel. Let’s face it, it’s a total stranger and these are my babies and one of my babies is very particular about strangers. That baby happens to be a 200 pound English Mastiff so it’s hard to find people that want to walk him but also that he trusts. Well, it worked! Greg started walking our Mastiff three times a week prior to housesitting and our dog (s) fell in love with him. It was an easy transition. The housesitting was also a success. 🌈 I’m not going to lie, I gulped at first when I saw how much it would cost for the housesitting. However, when I looked at the cost to board 4️⃣ dogs, have them groomed, pay for the extra playtime bc lets face it, they are in a cage and then multiply it by four-I justified it and put faith in the Universe that it would work out. Greg took care of them as if they were his own. He walked each of them twice a day and played with them. We were able to leave the dogs in their environment, with their routine, their food, I could go on and on. Why Greg is so great: ⏰for starters he’s punctual — always on time. 📱 I love that you can see where they walk and he always takes pictures of the dogs while they’re on their walk and sends them to me. 🐕🐶The dogs love him. I’m going to regret weiting this review bc now he is going to be booked liked crazy, but he deserves the shout out!
Madelynne was on time. She communicated well. No issues what so ever and most importantly Max liked her!
Julie is awesome! Reliable and communicative. She makes sure your pups are safe and well take care of. I highly recommend Julie!!
Kathy is awesome! Super responsive and reliable and goes above and beyond for Dixon. Highly recommend!
Travis is amazing with dogs! He took great care of our adorable, but sometimes reactive (and very strong) mini-pit, and even helped her behave better on the leash! He is thoughtful, caring, responsible and detail oriented. We look forward to working with Travis again and could not recommend him more highly!
Tabitha has truly been a life saver. She is quick to respond and she always has a great positive attitude. Whenever something comes up, she is always willing to help and my dog LOVES her!!
Torrie was awesome with both of pups. One of them is very shy and Torrie was very patient with her. Eventually our dog felt confident with her and enjoyed the company. Torrie made sure to send updates during the stay and took excellent care of them!
Fionna is always on time. My energetic puppy is happy when I get home, and thank goodness well-exercised! I highly recommend Fionna.
Coda absolutely adores Jennifer. I saw it first hand when I was home due to an illness and she came to walk Coda when I am usually in class. It was heartwarming to see.
Mercedes was amazing with my new shelter puppy. I hired her to walk her for a week during the lunch hour. By the end of the week my puppy was sitting and going into her crate on her own. Mercedes went above and beyond in taking the time to work with her and not just walk her. And my dog loved her too! I will definitely hire Mercedes again.
Dilyn was wonderful with my dogs. Came in at the agreed to time and walked them for the length I asked her to. She sent updates and photos. I have an older dog that took a little extra encouragment and she handled him with care and compassion.
My animals love Jessica! She's got a great energy, follows directions really well, and is very communicative. She's my daily dog walker and I'm so happy to have her
Tom was great with my pup! My dog has some anxiety/reactivity to other animals so I’m always apprehensive about having someone else care for him, but Tom has been very receptive to his needs. He has been kind and gentle which is just what my pup needs when first warming up to people.
