“Would 100% book Roger again! I had a last minute need for a sitter (I was already across the country) and he was worried about finding my reactive aussie a good fit. Roger was able to not only check all the boxes, but also go above and beyond. Communication and flexibility were a 10/10. It was clear my dog had a great time & hopes to see him again soon!”


“Briana took care of Skye like she was her own dog. We had to be gone all day for a wedding and she came by twice to let Skye out, feed her plus she played with her and sent over the cutest photos!! She went through various tricks/commands with Skye and just made it overall such a positive experience for her. I could tell Skye had a blast and I would 100% rebook with Briana. She exceeded my expectations.”


“Carol was awesome! She took great care of our dog Rowena while we were away. She worked really well with Rowena and kept us informed so we could enjoy our weekend without worrying. We will definitely be using her in the future.”


About: Hi there, my name is Sami! I've lived with dogs my whole life, big and small - some of which include a Golden Retriever, a Yorkie, and a Maltese. My sister occasionally comes over with her Goldendoodle, and I love spending time with my aunt's Bernese Mountain Dogs when I can visit them. I plan to adopt my own dog later in the future, and perhaps enroll them as a therapy dog to bring comfort to others. I've watched both my sister's and parents' dogs while they are away for the day, and I have some experience in caring for them when they were puppies. I used to walk my parents' dogs in the past, as well. I enjoy interacting with dogs as a whole, and I put their safety and comfort first. I'm an introvert who lives a quiet lifestyle, but I also love to have fun, so if your furry friend needs someone to hang out with while you're away, I'll be there for them! NOTE: Though I adore cats, I am unfortunately allergic and therefore cannot interact with them directly if you have any in your home. I can still feed or play with them via a cat teaser or laser pointer, but I cannot pet them or pick them up. :( At this time, I am working another part-time job as a behavior technician Monday through Friday, with the time usually being from 4:30 to 7:00pm. Occasionally, however, I am asked to come in at either 9:00am or 10:00am until about 12:00pm or 1:00pm. On Saturdays and Sundays, I am available during afternoons and evenings, though prior arrangements in advance can be made for a morning walk or visit! I will update my schedule as soon as anything changes. If you have any questions regarding my schedule for a particular day or week, please don’t hesitate to message me! IMPORTANT: As per Rover’s Terms of Service, please note that I cannot share private contact details or accept methods of payment outside of Rover. This is for the safety and security of all parties involved. When out on a walk, I will make sure your friend is kept safe and away from hazards or things they may be uncomfortable with. When dropping in for a visit, I will make sure their needs are met and everything is secured for their safety. They would never be left unsupervised, and they'll get lots of love and playtime! I will gladly send photos and text updates upon request. Please do let me know your communication frequency preferences, so I don't accidentally disturb you with messages!

“We really appreciate Alexa's drop-ins to take care of our dogs. We have a senior dog and a younger pup. Alexa is patient, kind and attentive to their different needs. We also appreciate how communicative she is.”


“Allison is awesome! We are so thankful for her and the way she treats our puppy Stevie. She does such an amazing job and takes the time to train her as well. Stevie looks forward to the days she gets to see Allison. She comes highly recommended at this household!”



“First time using a sitter for my dog Roxi. Having Dawn help me with her care allowed me to enjoy a wonderful night with my family. I’ll be using her again when the need arises! She’s great ??. Thank you Dawn”


About: I’ve been a dog walker and started a neighborhood business at the age of 10 and I have worked in animal animal hospital for 3 years and an animal shelter as well as a doggie day care :) I have my own family dog that I take care of and I have the availability to be available whenever. I also like to make sure I am scheduling everything that I need to do prior. While caring for my dog at home, I make sure to know when he needs to go to the bathroom. I make sure he’s fed. If I am in someone else’s home I make sure I allow the pets to feel safe and reward good behavior. I make sure he gets his medicine and we play, sleep, and cuddle.

“We have booked Jessi multiple times to watch our cat Luna when we go out of town, and will continue to do so. Jessi provides such great feedback and photos, and I can tell Luna really likes her. Thanks again Jessi!”


“Our dogs loved Sarah. She cuddled them when needed, played with them, and brushed Toby who loves being held and brushed. They were so well taken care of we were able to enjoy our trip.”


“Mariola is absolutely amazing! She took great care of my pets, sent lots of photos for updates and even offered some great advice! I HIGHLY recommend her for any type of sitting you need.”


About: I volunteer for a local dog rescue as well as foster dogs through them! I have dogs of my own and I look forward to helping with your fur babies as needed! References available if desired! I’m available teacher hours and off for summer currently! During the school year I’m only available after school and weekends unless it’s during breaks over holidays! I take the care of your dog(s) very seriously as I would like the same done for me when I’m not able to be present! I am comfortable with walks, play time and whatever else is needed as well as sending picture updates!


“Lisa is a fellow cat lady for sure. She gets cats. Ours were completely enchanted by her. The love and care that she showed our cats made us feel better about leaving them home. She left detailed messages about what they were doing. Her videos and pictures made us smile.”
