“This great review is long overdue. Mutsuko is always on time and extremely with Champ. I have asked her to walk and sit at least 15+ times. I strongly encourage anyone to ask her to care for their pet. You will not be disappointed!”


“Megan was great! Very professional and sweet, and she followed my (lengthy list of) instructions perfectly. She obviously cares about the animals she watches and sent detailed updates after each visit, which I appreciated. Would definitely recommend Megan, and we’re already rebooking her for our next trip!”



“Pam is great! I’ve used her services on a few occasions and she takes great care of my babies. She will send me pics during check in and gives me peace for mind”


“Katrina was wonderful with my cat when I was out of town for over a week. During that time the a/c went and she alerted me and stayed while the repairman fixed it. I will definitely be having Katrina take care of my cat in the future.”


“Hon is our go-to sitter for our two cats. He is very detailed and punctual. If any packages were delivered he would bring them in for us and he is also an amazing pet photographer! We saved like 50% of the picture updates he sent us to our photo album. Definitely will book him whenever he is available.”


“Boryana did a great job looking after my cat (Spike) while I was away! She stopped in daily to take of him. She’s reliable, responsible, trustworthy & a great communicator. She loves animals and she treated Spike like her own. I highly recommend her to take care of your pets while you are away!”


“Whitney and Michael were detail-oriented and responsive!”


“Kristina was so nice to my puppy, and he had a good time with her.”


About: Growing up, I was the go-to caretaker for our three dogs—a German Shepherd, Husky, and Shiba Inu. From daily walks and meals to cleaning up messes, caring for both my own and neighbors’ dogs quickly became second nature. I bring patience, a deep understanding of dog behavior, and genuine love for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a shy senior, I’m here to make sure every dog feels safe, seen, and loved. I work part time only one shift per day, which leaves time for me to provide pet care for any day of the week. My schedule is super flexible and regularly updated to ensure the best fit for pet owners. The care I provide is known for reliability and open communication with clients. I keep track of each visit by taking notes and updating owners of progress throughout the visit. There’s a great sense of security that comes with being in the loop at all times especially with a pet, and I provide this security by tailoring to each client’s needs. Any directions are followed to a T without a single detail overlooked. Additionally, a meet and greet with me can be scheduled in advance and is available upon request. I love reaching out to owners beforehand as it allows both me and the owner to meet and work out the specifics before a scheduled visit.

About: With years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, I offer a safe, loving environment for your furry family members while you're away. Whether it's a quick walk around the block, playtime in the yard, or cozy cuddles on the couch, your pet will get plenty of attention and care. I pride myself on being a responsible, reliable, and compassionate sitter. I understand how important it is to find someone who not only watches over your pets but truly connects with them. I'll ensure your pets feel loved and comfortable during our time together. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel relaxed and happy. You’ll get regular updates with pictures and messages so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in great hands. I look forward to meeting your furry friend soon! I am a working mom and have a regular 9-5! I sit animals on the side, before and after work during week days and I’m almost always free on weekends! Feel free to message me and we can work out times! I own a 5 year old German Shepard myself as well! When I care for your pet, my top priority is their comfort and well-being. I take the time to get to know each animal’s unique needs, whether it’s sticking to their routine, providing extra attention, or offering gentle playtime. I ensure they are fed on schedule, given plenty of exercise, and have all their favorite toys and comforts available. Whether at your home or mine, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and never lonely. I provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in great hands, I am here to make sure your furry friend is happy and healthy while you're away!

About: Dogs have been a part of my heart and home for as long as I can remember. I adopted my first dog, a spirited Jack Russell-Boston Terrier mix, in 2005, and when I got married, I happily welcomed my husband’s senior boxer into our family. A few years later, an unplanned encounter led us to adopt another boxer puppy—we couldn’t resist her charm! Over the years, our family grew, adding four kids into the mix alongside our beloved dogs. Losing my own dog in 2019 and our boxer shortly after my youngest was born was incredibly hard, but it deepened my appreciation for the unconditional love and joy dogs bring. I was the first in my family to welcome a dog into our lives, and since then, I’ve inspired my sisters and even nieces and nephews to do the same. Though I can’t currently have a dog in my home as a single mom with four little ones, I deeply miss the companionship and connection dogs provide. Caring for your dog would be an honor, and I promise to treat them with the same love and attention I’ve given my own. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or playtime, your furry family member will be in caring hands. I’m a newly single mom of four young children. As a stay-at-home parent, I care for my toddler during the day while my three older kids are in school. This allows me to have a flexible schedule that works around their school hours and extracurricular activities. I understand how important it is to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to care for your dog in your home, following all your instructions to keep their routine consistent and familiar. Whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime, or quiet cuddles, I’ll make sure your furry family member gets the attention and care they deserve. I also recognize that dogs can sometimes feel anxious when their parents aren’t around. I’ll do everything I can to ease their worries and keep them calm, using the tips and guidance you provide. If any unexpected messes happen, I’ll handle them promptly and ensure your home stays clean and tidy. My goal is to provide you with peace of mind and ensure your dog feels loved and cared for while you’re away.

“Marcela was wonderful with my dog! As stubborn as my dog is she was patient, kind and kept me up to date on all the walks. I highly recommend her and hope to have her walk my dog again!”


“Sumona helped with a last-minute booking. She was friendly and communicated well. I was happy to come home and find my dog happy and content. She sent photos during her visit, which put me at ease. Hope to work with her again!”


“I have had Lindsey do drop-in visits twice with my dog. She arrives on time and sends us pictures and updates of how it went. The visits helped my family have a great day out knowing that our dog and home were in good hands. We’ll definitely book her again.”


About: I rescued my first pup in 2020 he was 3 months old. I trained him myself. Crate trained, leash trained, and commands. In December of 2024 I rescued my second pup at 2 years old and I have trained her as well. We go on walks every day on a nature trail. I am also trusted by my neighbor to play with and walk her dog. My schedule is currently totally open. If that changes I will of course update you. I am currently trying to see if dog walking full time will work out for me. I treat all dogs with love, care, and respect. I let them come to me and warm up to me. Over time I show them what is appropriate behavior that helps them to live in a human world. I do this by telling them no when the behavior isn’t appropriate and giving them a treat and telling them good boy/ girl when they are behaving.

About: I have taken care of dogs most of my life. I have had cats all my life. I pet sit for my parents all the time after having lived with them for most of the time that they have had their dogs. I have always had multiple pets. I feed, walk, bathe, give meds, and clean up after pets. I currently work full time, but have the time and flexibly to work from home several times a week with gives me the time to work on other things. I am also available on weekends and evenings. I have a great space for your pet to run with both grass and fenced in areas. I also can crate your pet if needed.

About: I am a father of 2 & 4-legged kids and the go-to dogsitter for friends and family. I am reliable and my schedule is flexible. I am the primary caregiver of my son when he's not in school. The rest of my schedule is flexible around my honey do lists. Having been a dog owner for more than 10 years, I am skilled in head scritches and belly rubs, and am not scared of slobbery kisses or getting dog hair on my clothes.

“Aayush has been a very reliable and conscientious sitter! He took excellent care of our cat's feeding schedule and a clean litter. Gave us complete peace of mind to trust Aayush when we had an emergency international travel. We're so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and helpful Rover. I highly recommend Aayush to anyone looking for a kind, dependable, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
