“Amy is very calm and sweet. Matteo usually runs away from going on the leash and she had no problems at all. Very reliable, punctual, and flexible. Loved lived loved her. Thank uou!”

“Maria was great and provided very detailed updates about her drop-ins which made us feel so much more comfortable having to leave our cat. Our skittish boy seemed to warm up to her quickly and we loved all the pictures that we received! Her communication back and forth was almost immediate. We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience!”

“Octavia was amazing with our dogs! She sent photos and kept me updated every time she visited. We are always nervous to leave our dogs when going out of town but Octavia always made me feel that they were being taking care of with tons of love. I strongly recommend her!!”

“Erin is the best! She knows just how to handle our dog with a big personality and they have become such good friends. She has gone above and beyond each time she drops in on him making sure he is fed and walked. We are so happy we found her!”

“James was so amazing with our 2 dogs! We had a pet emergency and he was able to pick them up last minute and watch them while we were away. His wife is also so sweet and caring! Would highly recommend him!”

“Karina is fantastic with Sage! He loves her and she plays with him so well. She always takes so many pictures and I feel really comfortable leaving him with her. I definitely recommend her highly”

About: ⏰ flexible, energetic animal lover! I’ve had a dog since I was 9 years old and I have loved taking care of all kinds of pets since! I have experience with medically complicated pets as well as small animals (rodents). I love to hike and have plenty of energy so I do well with playful animals. I also have years of experience dog sitting for friends and neighbors. My time is very flexible so I am likely to find something that works with you! I am typically available any time during the day except Tuesday and Sunday, but you’re always welcome to ask just to make sure! Overnight stays may also be as flexible. I will never let a pet off-leash unless it is in a fenced in area or I know the pet well. I am very vigilant and prefer to always have pets by my side, even during extended stays. Additionally, I will always air in the side of caution and keep your pet away from others.
About: i’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes for several years now and always treat them as my own. your dog will feel right at home at my house with lots of room for play time and also lots of cozy places to snuggle! I work full time but am available intermittently through the week and on weekends for daytime and overnight care. We enjoy taking walks and exploring the city but also napping and relaxing when needed! I have a semi fenced in yard that is pretty spacious. Dogs are always leashed when taken out for safety purposes. Cleanliness is a top priority along with making sure your dog is happy and healthy.
“Peter was amazing with my two cats! They quickly got comfortable with him and he spent time every day playing with them and sending pictures. I was able to relax during my time away knowing he was taking such good care of them!”

About: I have had dogs in my life since I was 8 and spent a summer in high school raising my family’s new puppy. My family has had frenchies, a labradoodle, and a corgi/beagle mix I have experience with small dogs such as frenchies and larger dogs as well. I work full time, 8 AM - 5 PM. I walk to work but can always drive if you live further out and am available overnight, for drop ins, and for walking as needed. Although I do not offer services in my home, due to my cat being afraid of other animals, I will treat your home as my own. I am experienced with house sitting and take pride in making sure you never have to worry about anything while away.
About: I have a miniature schnauzer who I trained and raised from a puppy. I’m looking to gain more experience with all kinds of dogs. I am very interested in fostering later in life and I am missing my pup while I’m away at school. I know life can be hectic so I am excited to help anyone out a little and meet some new pets in my free time! I am working part time and in school. I work mostly mornings and have classes mon/wed right now but after 12:00 on most days I am free and looking to fill that time earning a little extra money and spend time with some furry friends! I know every pet is different and needs different things. I am very flexible and happy to cater to different situations as they come. I enjoy walking and exercising so I am happy to do long and short walks, parks and more. I have an anxious dog myself so I understand some pets need a little space when meeting new people and new environments. I’m looking to give your pets the best experiences possible and listen to any instructions you may have for them.
About: I’ve taken care of all manner of pets since a very young age. Rabbits, hamsters, cats, dogs. I would love for yours to be next! I have experience with senior cats and dogs. I currently work part time at a library, and attend college on honors scholarship. Every week night, I have free time to swing by your home and spend time with your animal. I can stay nights as needed/requested. Every animal has a different temperament and experience with humans; depending on their circumstance I can cater specific care to make them feel loved (whether up close, or from afar) and safe.
