“Sabrina took VERY good care of our dog, Stewie, while we were out of the country. His would got infected while we were away and she was even kind enough to take him to the vet and ensure that he got proper treatment. She followed up by giving him all his meds while we were gone. She would send us daily pictures of him and kept us posted on how he is doing and feeling. I highly recommend Sabrina to take care of your furry little one 🙂”


“Jada was quick to respond to assist us when we needed a last minute Rover. She was kind, professional, and very communicative. She made time for a short meet and greet before watching our fur babies, and they immediately loved her. Highly recommend Jada!”


About: With 3 years of doggy daycare experience and 3 years as a veterinary technician, I bring a well-rounded mix of hands-on pet care and animal medical knowledge. Beyond my work experience, my passion for animals has led me to train my own reactive dog and even leash-train my cat. True care starts with seeing the world through their eyes. As your pet nanny and local dog walker, I’ll make sure that while you’re away, every tail keeps wagging and every purr is heard—I’ll become your pet’s second-best friend. Pet care is an important and fulfilling part of my weekly routine. I currently work Wednesdays from 7 AM to 1 PM, and 12 hour shifts on Thursdays and Fridays with rotating weekends. On the days I’m scheduled to work, I’m still available for pet visits before and after my shifts, as well as during my lunch break from 12 PM to 1 PM. I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that fits your pet’s needs while ensuring they get consistent, loving care. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment where they feel comfortable and secure. I respect each pet’s unique routine, space, and personality, and I follow all care instructions closely—from feeding and medication to preferred walking routes and play styles. Building trust with both pets and their owners is at the heart of what I do. I approach every visit with patience, attentiveness, and a genuine love for animals, ensuring your pet feels safe, seen, and cared for in your absence.

“Frederick is always quick to communicate when I need help bathing my pup. Also understanding and flexible for any rescheduling. I’ve not used him for pet sitting services, but would not hesitate!”



About: ***I've had several requests for last-minute sittings. I do require a meet and greet AT LEAST 24 hours before the beginning of the stay. I want to make sure your dog(s) gets along with mine before accepting the stay! Thanks :) I've had dogs my entire life and have a love like no other! I have a 7 year old lab and a 2 year old Lab/Border Collie mix. I will be happy to spoil your furbaby while you're out of town as well! I have a backyard with plenty of playing room. I work from home 4 days a week. On the days I'm in the office, I'm just a few miles away and come home at lunch for a quick play break with the pups. I also have a doggie door that allows the pups access to the yard at any time. I will treat your pup like my own while they are in my care. If you have special requests, I will honor them. Your pet can have free roam of the house or be crated - your preference!

“Tiffani was amazing!! Our kitty was so comfortable around her and we got great updates and pictures during our time away. Would definitely recommend Tiffani to anyone looking for a sitter!!”


“This is the second time Nathaly has watched our cats and was great again! She showed up each day, cleaned the litter box, and played with our cats. The pictures she took at each visit were the highlight of our day!”


“Kyle exceeded all my expectations with Gio and Karter. He was always punctual, provided exceptional care, and sent frequent updates complete with adorable photos. Not only did he ensure they got plenty of extra outdoor time by spending quality moments with them on the balcony, but he also went out of his way to retrieve a UPS package mistakenly left outside. I truly appreciate his attentiveness and kindness. I highly recommend Kyle to anyone looking for a dedicated dog sitter and look forward to having him as my full-time sitter!”


About: We started hosting dogs as a family when we ourselves needed to board our pets but we’re uncomfortable with the idea of leaving them in a kennel. We found Rover and decided to open our home as well so others could enjoy the same quality of care, love and companionship we did. Since then, we all relocated to different areas so I took a break. Now that I am settled in Pittsburg full time, I figured there may be a need here as well. The separation alone can be hard on our babies so having a reliable and trustworthy person to look after your pet is of utmost importance. I have a small rescue dog named Roxy who is very social and has lots of "friends". She was found eating from a dumpster and is now a lil fatty with a wonderful spirit and the cutest personality. I have kept many dogs over the years (large and small breeds) and feel it’s more like a slumber party than a job. If this is your first time, don't worry, we can always do a meet and greet before the stay. I find it becomes more like a play date than a scary situation to both the owner and the pet. Even for the more timid dogs, I make the situation comfortable. With constant love and attention, I think this is a great safe place to leave your babies. If you have any questions, please let us know. Why I love dog sitting I actually didn't start enjoying dogs until I got one of my own. It was by default. My friend is a rescuer so I volunteered to help while she was working for a few days. The pup attached itself to me. Since then I have become so attached to animals that we ended up having two dogs and work at the shelter on the weekends. My oldest son has always had a passion for dogs and plans to be a vet so this experience is so beneficial to him and his future. We just love having them and giving them a safe, loving place to visit and play. Meet my pets We have two spayed/neutered rescue dogs, both very social and love to have friends visit. One is a medium breed, the other is a smaller dog. About my yard It does not have a fence all the way around but I have never had an issue with this. My schedule is very flexible as I own a small business and work remotely. I am also semi-retired so my company is less demanding of my time than typical scenario. I find crates work great for those who have not become extremely social yet. The safety of their “room” seems to relax them as they warm up to new surroundings.

About: Dogs are too good for this world, and should be treated like royalty. I have experience with many different types of dogs, and I hope to help you and your sweet baby as needed! I am a college student right now, and I am a student athlete as well! My schedule is rigid, but I try my hardest to work time in with dogs so don’t hesitate to reach out and I will answer quick! My apartment has a large dog park, and it is very quiet. Not many dogs and animals at my apartment complex. Lots of walking areas near my apartment.

About: I’ve always had animals in my life, and usually more than one. I feel at home and comfortable with animals and they always seem to gravitate to me too. I’ve had a lot of experience with different types of care and grooming, and most messes don’t bother me at all. It comes with the territory! I just want your pet to be as comfortable and reassured as possible in your absence. This summer I’m working a very light schedule so I should be available at any time! I can start check-ins early in the morning, continuing until bed time. I like to announce myself when entering your home, to keep the anxiety as low as possible. I try to keep to their routine as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable. I try to use words and terms they know to let them know what’s happening next. Once they’re comfortable with me, I can match their energy level and play or cuddle, whatever they want. I’m committed to keeping their schedule and routine whatever it takes.

“Shelly was so patient and loving to our energetic puppy! She was very quick to respond and kept us updated with photos and updates while we were away. She went above and beyond. We look forward to working with her in the future!”


About: I’ve fostered and pet sat animals of various species from ferrets, hamsters, turtles, birds, dogs and cats. I understand the worry a pet parent can have leaving their animal in the care of someone new and will do my best to update you and answer any concerns. I’m currently a college student studying for law so I will be firm about the days I’ll be unable to care for animals as I do not wish to give you a bad experience if I’m not fully prepared. However on days that I’m focusing on your pet they will have my full attention and care. The afternoons are my most free but I will have days I can do mornings. I will ask for a walk before setting up an appointment that we both through of any specific concerns or routines I would need to know along with normal habits your animal exhibits. This will be so I do not over stress you if I’m unfamiliar with your pets behavior or desires as some animals have their quirks.

Drew W.
“Drew is hands down one of the best dog sitters I’ve ever met. You can tell right away how much she genuinely loves dogs, she’s patient, kind, and incredibly attentive. I’ve seen her take care of everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little extra TLC, and she handles it all with total confidence and care. She makes sure every dog feels comfortable and safe, and she always keeps owners updated so you never have to worry. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Drew is exactly who you want. She’s the kind of person dogs get excited to see walk through the door.”

Jacquez P.

“Great sitter. Very accommodating, stopped by for a meet and greet with our dogs before. It helped ease our minds since we do have bigger pups :)”


Holly L.
“I've known Holly for over 20 years. She took good care of my children when they were young. I've had multiple cats for years, and Holly is one of my go-to pet sitters, because I've never come home to any sort of problem when she's been looking after them. I can always tell she followed my instructions and kept them safe. She's quite a capable cat herder, and she likes my cats and makes friends with them. She also loves dogs and I'm sure she would take great care of any pet.”
