He has some leg weaknesses and she was so good with him‼️She’s coming back for another 2 weeks and I know Gordon will be so happy to see her❗️I highly recommend her❤️‼️‼️‼️”

“Excellent communication from the start. Came for a greet and meet and easy to be with and obvious knew dogs well. Ended up a friend of mine knows Alissa so a double excellent reference. She communicated with me constantly throughout the stay. My dog is a senior and she did well with him and when I returned he kept roaming into where she was staying in my place. Would have back again as she is available.”

“I had Carolina do some dog sitting in my home while I was out of town and I could not be happier. She took great care of my senior dog, Joey. He had plenty of exercise and walks, was well loved, she kept him great company and treated him like he was her own. Joey has some medical issues and requires medications throughout the day and she was very diligent about following his schedule. She gave constant updates, pictures and videos, which was much appreciated. Carolina was extremely respectful of my home, and pretty sure my place looked better than when I left. The next time I need someone to look after my old guy, I hope Carolina is available, I highly recommend her.”

“Stephanie was very flexible about the amount of time to spend with our dogs. She was very kind and took great care of them. She sent pictures of them during her stay with them. I would definitely recommend her services.”

It really made us feel comfortable being able to take a vacation without worring about the dogs. I highly recommend river they are amazing!”

“Alexy watched my puppy and cat for a few days and gave him constant attention and activity while keeping me updated with frequent pictures.

About: I LOVE DOGS. Their lives are short, and I want to help them enjoy those years with comfort, care, and fun. I have had a dog companion in my life since I was five years old. I especially enjoy caring for high-energy dogs who need regular exercise—I’m always up for long walks, playtime, or outdoor adventures. I also have experience with senior dogs, and I understand the importance of patience, gentle handling, and keeping routines consistent. I’ve successfully trained dogs to potty outside, sit on command, and even walk off-leash. Whether your pup is young and active or older and needs a slower pace, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for while you’re away. I function better with a dog at my side. Dogs help me start my day with purpose—there’s nothing like a good morning walk to get us both moving and ready for breakfast and whatever the day brings. I love building routines that keep dogs active, happy, and well cared for. I work remotely, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to be fully present for pet care throughout the day. With cats, I understand how much they value consistency. I’m attentive to their morning and evening routines—feeding, cleaning the litter box, and giving them space or affection depending on their mood. I also make time for play and interaction throughout the day, based on each cat’s personality. Communication is everything. I try to make sure I understand each animal's boundaries and needs before providing care, this includes list of allergies and medications.
“Berenice was absolutely fantastic. She watched our 2 year old dog and young puppy in a pinch over a weekend and we came home to happy, healthy pups. The house was clean and exactly as we left it. This was our first time using Rover and she helped me feel comfortable and informed. She was prompt and great at communicating. She sent updates and pictures. Highly recommend Berenice. Very trustworthy with our dogs and our home.”

“Liz was wonderful! Excellent communication. This was my first time using Rover and she made for an amazing first experience. I will definitely use her services again.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life, especially cats—from playful kittens to senior cats needing extra patience and care. Growing up in a cat-loving household gave me a deep understanding of feline behavior, medical needs, and how to make even the most reserved cat feel safe and comfortable. Over the years, I’ve also gained hands-on experience with dogs through both Rover clients and my own family’s pets. From daily walks to providing structured routines, I’ve learned how to tailor care to each dog’s unique personality and energy level. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and commitment to going above and beyond. I treat every pet as if they’re my own, and I believe that great care means noticing the little things—whether that’s changes in behavior, feeding preferences, or just giving them that extra belly rub or playtime they love. I am available during both Thanksgiving and Christmas this year. I am available 11/24-11/29 for Thanksgiving week. I will not be available Sunday 11/30. I am available Christmas week 12/22-12/26. I am accepting very few clients 12/27-12/28 as I have family in town. I will only be accepting clients within my distance radius during that time. I work 8am-noon "ish" every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, so am unable to watch/walk your pets during these times. With my job demands, I may need to be flexible with times in those days of I need to stay late. Other than that, my other job is very flexible and I create my own hours so I can be widely available for your pets! The more advance notice you give me, I can be able to form my schedule around your furry loved ones! In your home, I strive to create a calm, familiar environment where your pet feels just as safe and loved as they do with you. I follow your care instructions closely and ask questions whenever needed to ensure I’m meeting your expectations—and your pet’s needs. Just as I appreciate from guests in my own home, I always clean up after your pet and treat your space with respect.

About: As a kid, I was a go-to dog sitter for several neighborhood dogs while their owners were out of town. I have experience walking, feeding, and letting dogs out when they need. Most importantly, I’m best at giving dogs love, attention and pets! I am a band teacher, so my schedule varies depending on the time of the year. I also have a 35 minute commute to and from work, which affects the hours that can make in-home visits. I return to school on August 25th. My work hours during the school year are 7:30-4:00pm, plus the commute both ways. During the school year, I am only available for overnight stays on the weekends from Friday-Sunday. This might vary depending on different breaks during the school year. I am a warm, patient, and caring person. Whether your pet eagerly greets me when I arrive, or if they need more time to warm up to me, I will be flexible to your pet’s needs.
About: I have 3 cats & a dog who I treat as if they were my biological children. One of my cats & my dog are medically “blessed,” so I have experience giving meds & sticking to dietary restrictions. They are also anxious creatures, so I’m more than experienced in the world of patience. I foster for a cat rescue who saves stray cats & have experience with getting cats/kittens to trust me. I work full-time but am available weekday evenings for drop-ins & walks. I am available for boarding & house-sitting on weekends or over holidays. My weekends are flexible, so I can also accommodate medication schedules easily With a fenced in yard, dogs can enjoy time outdoors safely. I live in a quiet neighborhood that allows for nice walks. My dog & cats are very laidback. For other dogs, after a proper introduction, my dog loves playing with other dogs & is cat savvy. Since I foster, I also have a separate room where I could keep any cat guests.
About: As a little kid, I grew up with a dog and then got two dogs of my own as an adult. I raised all my dogs from puppies all the way through to end of life. I have dog sat for family and friends as well so I have experience with many breeds and conditions of care. I am currently available most weekends for whatever your fur babies need and I have some flexibility with my schedule during the week so I may be able to help out! I have a large (unfenced) yard for dogs to play in. I have a crate if needed. I have a walking path nearby to take long walks.
“This is our third time having Alex watch our pets and every time they seem so happy. She is great at communicating and making sure the needs are met. Our pup needed medication this time and she had no issues giving that to her. We will continue to have her watch our pets!”
