About: I’ve always had dogs in my home and have grown up surrounded by them, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’m passionate about animals and plan to become a veterinarian in the future. I love spending time with dogs—playing, cuddling, and making sure they feel happy and safe. I grew up in a home full of dogs that were both big and small. So caring for them has always been second nature to me. My family is also involved in breeding, and I’ve helped raise and care for litters of puppies, making sure they’re healthy, happy, and well socialized. I make sure my pets are fed, have clean water, and a safe space to hang out. I take them for walks, play with them, give them lots of love, and just try to keep them happy and healthy every day.
“Myranda did a great job watching Rocco. We came home to a happy puppy. She sent daily updates and pictures. Made going away much less stressful knowing Rocco was well taken care of.”
“Jacqueline was so wonderful and respectful of my home while watching my dog. I would definitely recommend her to a friend.”
About: Growing up surrounded by a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and reptiles, I developed a deep love and understanding for animal care from an early age. I spent two years working as a professional dog groomer, which gave me valuable hands on experience with different breeds and grooming needs. Over the past 15 years, I have cared for numerous pets, providing services such as daily walks, short stays (up to one week), and long-term stays (up to four months). Currently, I am the proud owner of two cats, which keeps my home filled with love. As a School Psychologist contractor, I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to devote quality time and attention to your pet’s needs. I am passionate about ensuring pets are safe, happy, and well cared for when you are unavailable. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet and provide them with the love and attention they deserve. Right now through September, I have a very flexible schedule as a per diem contractor, so I can easily work around your pets' needs and your family's schedule. Starting in September, I'll be working from home 90% of the time with flexible hours, which is perfect for pet care! Being home means I can give your dogs and cats plenty of attention, keep up with their routines, and make sure they never feel lonely. Whether it's midday dog walks, playtime, or just having someone around for company, I'll be available to keep your furry family members happy and well-cared for. My schedule works great for both quick visits and longer stays - whatever your pets need to feel comfortable and loved while you're away. I prioritize the safety and comfort of every pet in my care. At my own home, I have two cats who have limited experience with dogs (only one encounter), and I don't have a fenced yard, so I'm very mindful about which pets would be a good fit for my space. I'm completely comfortable providing care at your home instead, where your pets can stay in their familiar environment. Whether staying overnight at your house or making multiple daily visits for walks, feeding, and companionship, I adapt my approach to what works best for each pet's needs and personality. I understand that every animal is different, and I take time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special requirements. My 7-year-old daughter is an animal lover who has experience with three golden doodles at her father's house and enjoys regular trips to the dog park with them. Depending on your comfort level and your pets' temperament, I'm happy to include her in care visits or keep it just me - whatever feels right for your furry family members. I believe in honest communication about what works best for everyone involved, ensuring your pets receive safe, loving care tailored to their individual needs.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and have watched a number of dogs for friends and family. I can feed, play, walk, give meds, and anything else you may need for your pet. I love animals and always make sure they are treated well. I am a stay at home mom so I am able to help with your pet at any time throughout the day. I am very flexible. I can let dogs outside to use the bathroom if they have a fenced in yard or take them on walks, whatever is preferred. I can play outside with them as well to tire them out while their parents are away.

I have some great photos and videos of his fun weekend!”

Highly recommend Myranda for your pets care! She is wonderful with our senior dog and takes the best care of him. 💙🐶
Maura was great again and watched our dog when she wasn’t feeling great, she was able to give her medicine and keep her happy during a stressful July 4th fireworks weekend!
Susan was great! She took great care of our golden retriever and 4 cats. We got lots of pictures and cute videos. Would definitely recommend and book her again!
Catlin is an absolute gem! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Being from out of town to attend my daughter's wedding, I was a little stressed to find care for my dog KC. Right away at the meet and greet, Caitlin set me and KC completely at ease. She was incredibly organized, took notes and greeted KC gently. Throughout the night of the stay, she provided timely updates and photos. Knowing he was in such good, caring, and loving hands while I attended my daughter's wedding made the day completely stress-free. I can't recommend her highly enough, she will take amazing care of your dog too!
I had a friend recommend Rover, as I was leaving for Ireland for 10 days, I was struggling to find someone trustworthy to take care of my pets. From my first reach out, Teresa responded promptly and put my mind at ease. Teresa did a great job, communicated and updated me frequently, my pets loved her! We had a great trip, and had no worries, THANK YOU TERESA!!! I would have no problem recommending Teresa to anyone, she did a wonderful job!
Taylor took great care of our dog Harper. She stayed in touch throughout the weekend and sent plenty of photos. I would also say that Harper is sitting by the door waiting for her to return, even though we are back! And that’s how you know your pet was taken care of! This was our second time using Taylor and we look forward to seeing her again!
