Max was great taking care of our cats and had great communication the whole time we were gone. Also went the extra mile and helped troubleshoot our sump pump when it had an issue while we were gone. Would use again!

We had great experience with Stephanie. She’s super responsible and genuinely caring to our cat Coffee. She paid attention to all the details and kept us updated regularly, which really helped us feel at ease while we were away. We felt completely reassured knowing our cat was in good hands.

Love to work with you as always. Thanks so much for watching our kitties while we were away. It means so much to have someone who the kitties are comfortable with.

Jenna does an excellent job with my puppy Spud, listens to what I have asked in terms of how to spend the time, is respectful to my belongings, also gives me plenty of feedback to put my mind at ease as a new dog dad that all is going well during the session. Thanks Jenna!

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m active, reliable, and attentive to routines, which helps pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I love going on long walks, giving pets attention and playtime, and making sure they feel safe and happy. As a teacher, I’m patient, responsible, and detail-oriented, and I’ll always communicate clearly with pet parents and provide updates throughout visits! I am a full time teacher so I am available most evenings starting at 5pm and available some weekends. I am off for the summer soon and will then be available during the daytime on weekdays and on weekends when I’m not traveling! I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, so I take time to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I’m mindful during walks, careful with doors/leashes, and respectful of each client’s home and routines. I also believe communication is key, so I make sure pet parents receive updates and photos for peace of mind throughout each visit!

Jessica has been great with our dogs. We had a few special instructions and she took care of everything we needed. Our dogs get let out twice a week by her, and sometimes she stays longer than we asked. She’s very good at updating our Rover account with all of the details and photos from each visit!

About: Hi!! My name is Maggie and I am a 20 year old who loves all dogs! I have three of my own at home, and have experience with more aggressive dogs. I am available to walk, play, feed, and stay with your pups! One of mine is just a puppy too who is going through hands on training so I can implement my skills in this field as well!! I have plenty of time to see your pups! I work part-time and play hockey but have lots of wiggle room! Available for most occasions! Being that I have 3 dogs in my home with my brother, it would be more beneficial for me to come to you. If you do need daycare, with permission they could have play dates! I can pretty much do anything from coming in for a walk, to feeding them, to staying for longer periods of time as needed.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Growing up, my family had a Great Pyrenees, Border Collies, a Westie, and a Yorkie, and I currently have a Border Collie/Golden Retriever puppy named Finn. I understand that every dog has unique needs, whether that’s plenty of exercise and playtime or a calm comforting environment. As an active person, I love walks, outdoor adventures, and keeping dogs engaged, but I’m also more than happy to match your pet’s energy level and routine. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will care for your dog as if they were my own, with lots of love, attention, patience, and care. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease while you’re apart! My schedule is currently very flexible, and I have availability for drop in visits on weekdays until 3:00 PM. I’m happy to work with a variety of time slots and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. Consistency is important for dogs, and I strive to provide dependable care that fits seamlessly into their day! My dog’s safety, happiness, and well being are always my top priority. I keep Finn on a consistent feeding schedule and make sure he gets plenty of daily exercise, enrichment, and attention. We go on walks every day, spend time playing outside, and on warmer days he loves cooling off in his kiddie pool. I also have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and burn off energy while being supervised. Socialization is extremely important, so Finn enjoys spending time with other dogs and running around outside with them. Most importantly, I make sure he feels loved, safe, and included in my daily life so that means he joins me on my Starbucks run for a pup cup! I understand how important trust is when someone else is caring for your pet, and I will provide a safe, reliable, and loving environment where your dog is cared for as if they were my own.

About: I am a social worker in the schools who is looking for some fun for her kids and to teach both responsibility and the work that goes into owning a pet. I am a single mom. I have three loving children, ages 12, 15 and 17 who love to walk and play with dogs! Our fenced in back yard is perfect to accommodate your pet. We live down the street from neighborhood parks that are perfect for long walks. My kids and I love to dog sit for family members and enjoy having a dog in our home. We have more than enough time to give your dog the love and attention it deserves. My 17 year old son is responsible, loves pets and enjoys to help out by doing drop in visits to earn some extra money. We can’t wait to love your pet like it’s our own. I’m home all summer long and during the school year we are home @ 4. We love going on walks and staying active with your pups! I have a fenced in yard and want your dog to feel comfortable in our home. We love them to snuggle up on the couch and sleep where they like!

About: Hi there! I started dog walking during the spring while working part-time and absolutely loved spending time with pups. I’m now working full-time, so I can offer one-time dog walks rather than weekly visits. I’d be happy to give your dog a fun, safe, and engaging walk whenever you need a helping hand! I have hands-on experience caring for French Bulldogs, Labradors, and Great Danes, understanding their unique needs and personalities. I’m comfortable handling specific care routines, managing exercise, and providing plenty of love and attention. I work full-time, and my schedule changes week to week, so I can’t commit to regular weekly walks. I’m available for one-time dog walks and can coordinate times around my work hours — weekdays, evenings, or weekends, depending on the week. Safety is always my top priority, and I’ll treat your furry friend like my own. I will carefully follow all of your instructions for your pet.

About: I’m the type of sitter who sends updates, notices the little things, and genuinely enjoys spending time with all animals. I’ve cared for energetic pups, laid-back pups, and pups that are leaning toward that senior lifestyle, and I adjust my care style to match each pet. Whether it’s playtime, slow walks, or extra cuddles, your pet will get the thoughtful, loving care they deserve while you're away. I currently have a full-time job (M-F 8am-5pm) but am looking for lunch drop-in visits/walks on weekdays (anytime between 12pm-3pm). My weekends are pretty flexible (anytime between 10am-5pm both Saturday and Sunday). Weekends allow me to stay longer with your pup(s), if needed! Safety and comfort will forever be my top priorities. I carefully follow each pup's routine, including walks, feeding schedules, medication time, but if your pup has any silly quirks to their day-to-day (ex. my fur baby must have her food "microwaved" before each meal), I will happily add that to the list. I make sure gates, doors, and leashes are secure at all times and supervise your pup(s) closely. I always provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where your pups feel relaxed, safe, and cared for.

About: My name is Christina and I would love to be your pets home away from home! Our family loves animals and will make sure your pet is well cared for and pampered while you’re away. Our family includes myself and my husband, and our two kids who are 9 and 15. We do not have any pets in our home right now, so your pet will be the center of attention! Please feel free to contact me with any questions! I look forward to meeting your furry loved ones. I’m currently working remote, with one day in the office so I am able to do frequent bathroom breaks and afternoon walks. My husband is able to assist with care on my days in office. I aim to keep to your pets normal schedule as much as possible. I have a fully fenced yard. My kids are 9 & 15 and they adore animals.

About: I grew up with dogs and lived with multiple roommates that had dogs in college and during post-college life. I was living dog-free for a few years until I finally adopted a pup of my own, Dawson, in March of 2020. After adopting Dawson, I began volunteering at the puppy pavilion at his shelter where I met his little brother, Einstein, so in a little less than two years I went from zero dogs to two! I work in finance and am still entirely remote, which has made owning two dogs & training a puppy so much easier. I took a break from rover sitting while I completed grad school, and I didn't think I'd be back until I noticed the lack of sitters in my own neighborhood as I was looking for someone to watch my dogs. My fiance and I have fostered multiple dogs from the shelter, and our older dog came with a challenging background, which we continue to work through with training every day. The puppy's been easy compared to him, so I am comfortable handling varying pup personalities. I'm very active and would love to take your dog(s) on long walks/runs/hikes or just toss a ball around in the backyard. I'm currently working from home, so I'll have plenty of time to take your dogs out on walks throughout the day. I have two dogs at home, and one of them is a puppy. Working remotely has made training a breeze! I have a privacy fence around 90% of my yard, and plan to put a gate in where the driveway leads to the garage. In the meantime, I have a stake and lead. I trust my own dogs in the backyard without it as I stand in front of the unfenced area, but I would be sure to put yours on the lead as it'd be a new environment from him or her.
