Nicole did her usual wonderful job with Gracie. Our rather shy and careful dog rewarded her with sleeping in the bedroom she used, asking for pets and letting Nicole rub her belly! High praise indeed.

Jordan was very communicative, willing to do a meet, and greet, and helpful with our dog’s medical needs while watching her. She provided frequent updates with pictures and gave us peace of mind while away. Thank you, Jordan!!

Roisin was awesome!! She sat for our dog, Ollie for 5 days in our home while my husband and I were out of town. She is reliable and trustworthy. We really appreciated her daily updates/pictures. And most importantly we felt confident that Ollie was well taken care of. Highly recommend!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 8, and my hands-on experience working at a veterinary clinic sets me apart from other sitters. I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and care, and I understand how to spot signs of stress or illness. With a mix of professional knowledge and genuine love for animals, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I am currently a student and available to care for your pet anytime on weekends, Wednesday evenings after 6 PM, and Fridays after 2 PM. If there’s a time outside of these hours, I may be able to make it work as long as we communicate. This flexibility allows me to give your pets the consistent love, playtime, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure food, water, and walks are handled on schedule, and I give plenty of playtime and affection. I also keep the home environment safe by double-checking doors, gates, and anything pets shouldn’t get into. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so your pets feel secure and happy while you’re away.

Katharyn was incredible. She watched our dog and cat and sent tons of photos, was a dream with communication and left the house in perfect shape when we came home. I was so nervous because this was my first time leaving the pets and house, but after day 1 I was at complete ease and able to focus on my work trip! Will definitely rebook!

She provided excellent updates and I felt comfortable knowing our dog was in such great hands. She also took amazing care of our home, which was not expected, but very appreciated.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, and I can’t imagine a day without them! My first dog was a Maltese who lived to be 18 years old, and caring for him taught me the importance of patience and gentle attention—especially with senior dogs. My family recently adopted a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy, and I took the lead in potty training and helping her adjust to a new home. We also just welcomed a Golden Retriever into the family, and I can’t wait to help her learn and grow! Beyond my own pets, I’ve cared for poodles, bernedoodles, German shepherds, pit bull mixes, and more—ranging from tiny pups to big seniors. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime in the park, or quiet cuddles, I always make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m attentive to their needs and personalities—whether that means keeping up with an energetic puppy or offering calm reassurance to an older dog. I’m confident with a wide range of breeds and temperaments, and I know how to adjust my care style for each one. I’m also very reliable and communicative—I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you’ll always know how your pup is doing! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I love starting and ending my day with walks, and I plan my schedule around giving dogs plenty of attention and exercise. Since my apartment is dog-friendly with its own dog park—and there are two nearby green spaces—I’m able to offer frequent outdoor time and flexible care throughout the week. I also am a graduate student so the flexibility of academia means I am not tied down to a 9 to 5, and I have a car so I can pick up your furry best friend and drop them off for you! In my home, pets have a comfortable and safe environment to relax in. I make sure food, water, and cozy spots are always available, and I keep to each dog’s feeding and walking schedule closely. My apartment community has a fenced dog park that’s perfect for playtime, and I also enjoy taking dogs to nearby parks for walks or fetch. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully and make sure their space stays tidy and secure. I’m respectful of each pet’s routine and comfort level, and I always aim to make the experience stress-free for both the dog and their owner.

About: I’ve always grown up with cats and dogs. From fostering dogs to taking care of our own. I’ve now had my own cat for 11 years. I’m very responsible and will take care of your pet like my own. I’m currently working full time on the weekdays. I’m looking for opportunities on the weekends. I’m also a very active person, so I’d love to take your dog on a walk after 4pm. I am responsible and respectful to your pets and space. I have experience with both crate training and free roaming dogs. I’d make sure to follow any health or safety restrictions for your pet.

Solveig took great care of our dog and our home. It was the first time we have used Rover and she exceeded all of our expectations. She updated us daily with txt and pictures. Our dog was recovering from surgery and Solveig had to administer several medications and deal with the dreaded cone and did all expertly. I like forward to using Solveig in the future.

I arrived home to a happy dog and a spotless house! Katharyn braved some truly horrid winter weather to make sure Jack had his twice daily walks and was great about sending updates and photos. It was clear that Jack was the recipient of plenty of kindness and attention. I recommend her without hesitation.
