“I would love to visit Niagra Falls again as one of the highlights was the gentle and active stay Lucky had! I was sent photos and updates. Communication was exceelnt which made everything so easy. Thank you - you are the best!!!”

“Our Maggie had the best week with Holly! She let Maggie sleep in bed with her, she socialized her with many new dog friends & she kept us updated daily. We highly recommend Holly for any of your pet's needs!”


“Love this young lady. She was great with our dog Cooper. She sent updates and photos to help but our mind at ease. Treated our dog like her own. I would recommend Allissa very much.”

“Emmy was awesome and super caring with Brownie. She immediarely welcomed him and made him feel at home. Her home has a really nice backyard with plenty of space for dogs. I know Brownie had a great time with Emmy and her family!”

“I felt very comfortable leaving our boy with Racheal. Our dog is a bit anxious but settled in quickly with her fur babies. She communicated with us throughout the week and sent us a ton of pictures. I definitely recommend her.”

“Mary has been walking my dog during the week for about a year and I just boarded my dog with her for a week while I was away on vacation. She is the kindest person, and kept me updated each day with photos and texts. Normally when I pick him up from a kennel, he’s a little anxious for a day or two, but when I picked him up from Mary’s house, he didn’t want to leave! I will DEFINITELY be using Mary as my go-to for pet sitting. Her family is also incredibly welcoming and loving of the dog guests and that adds an extra special touch for me to know he’s in excellent hands with the whole family!”

“Dan and his family were excellent dog sitters for our pup who stayed with them for 3 nights. She is 7 months old and this was our first time leaving her with anyone so I was very nervous. We did a meet and greet and Dan and his family made us feel comfortable right away. During her stay, he was very responsive to texts and gave multiple updates about what they did and even sent pics! They have a nice background where our girl was able to run around and play and their house is very spacious and clean. They took her on multiple long walks during her stay and when we picked her up on Sunday and brought her home I could not believe how exhausted she was! She’s a puppy with lots of energy so to see her passed out means she must’ve had a great time getting lots of attention and exercise! I definitely would not hesitate to have Dan dog sit again for us and I’m grateful to know I now have someone that she & I both trust & feel comfortable with. Thanks again to Dan & his wonderful family!”

“I cannot recommend Trisha enough! She took care of my dog, Stitch, for three nights and four days, and the experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish. From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease she’s warm, kind, and clearly has a natural love for animals. Throughout the stay, Trisha went above and beyond to make sure Stitch felt comfortable, safe, and loved. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos. Her home was welcoming, and it was clear she had created a safe and happy environment for pets. When I picked Stitch up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had bonded with her. That’s all I needed to see to know I made the right choice. Trisha is someone I trust completely with my dog, and I’m 100% leaving Stitch with her next time I travel. It’s such a relief to have someone so reliable and loving to count on. Thank you, Trisha!”

“I loved the way they treated my dog... excellent communication, lots of photos, and status updates... it made me feel like my dog was safe... I absolutely loved it and will definitely hire their services again.”

“We entrusted Cuddles to Miranda for a few hours. She kept us updated with adorable photos, which put our minds at ease and made us feel so relieved to leave our precious Yorkie in her hands.”


“Maggie had a great time at Ryan and Laura's! They were attentive to all the details we provided, their daughters were great with her, and having no other pets in the he was a plus. We got regular updates while we were away for piece of mind that everything was going well. Definitely recommend and will use again, I don't know if Maggie wants to be back home! :)”

About: Hi there! I'm Caitlin, and for the past 13 years, I have gained extensive education, training, and experience with all types of animals. I have been with Rover since 2014 and have had over 190 clients through the years. As a proud professional, the experience under my belt includes: - Solo management of a small, rural cat shelter - Behavioral and adoption staff at a large urban animal shelter - Dog and cat training - Fear free certification - Management staff for boarding and daycare - Professional bathing/grooming - Exotic animal handling - Bachelor's degree in Animal Behavior Besides my professional experience, I have been a pet owner my whole life - dogs, cats, and exotics included! Right now - I have four beloved cats. ** Currently, my preferred clients are cats, small dogs, seniors, and more relaxed pets. I am not suited to care for strong, energetic dogs who need extensive exercise. ** In-home boarding and dog daycare are services I vet very extensively and am particular about due to my cats. While I do offer the services, it is always better to choose a house sit/drop in visit with me instead - these I can be much more flexible about. Some other services I provide beyond the basics include: - Wedding pet care and assistance - Pet transportation - Travel pet care and assistance - and more! I am a FULL TIME pet sitter! While some others may need to step out for a full work day, I commit my time to YOUR pet(s) and YOUR pet(s) only - which sets me apart from other sitters. You may see that my husband, Josh, is also on my profile. He will occasionally help me with some services, but I am the primary sitter. I will always let clients know if he is going to be present for any services. Safety for pets and myself is and always has been my top priority. I am proudly fear free certified and have worked on extensive safety training measures in all of my professional working environments. I know how to use all types of equipment (leashes, collars, harnesses, e-collars, etc) with ease.
About: Hello, thanks for taking a look at my profile. I’m excited to meet your dog. My goal is for your pup is to have a safe, clean and fun environment. As a dog owner/lover, I know how important it is to have one-on-one attention which they’ll receive. As a rule, I only watch a maximum of 2 dogs at a time and have 1 of my own. If your dog is playful and in need of engagement and exercise, we are your place. I work full-time 7-4pm so I am available after work or during the weekends when I have full availability. I specialize in smaller dog breeds but will host larger dogs that are well tempered I have a fully fenced in backyard with ample room to run and play. My home is their home while they’re with me so it is very relaxed in the house. I can accommodate diets and feeding times with food you provide. Walking your dog is included but requires a harness and leash you provide.
“Alyssa was really flexible with drop off time and communicated well with me! Her house is really cool and she is sure to prioritize pet safety. She seemed to treat my dogs like her own family- they got to use the furniture which is all they ever ask for, haha!”

“Quintelle was such a kind and sweet pet sitter, Beau enjoyed his time with her. She sent photos and updated me about Beau. I’ll definitely be going back to her again when I travel again!”


“My 2 yr old jack Russell, Junior, is usually a lot of work because of their natural energetic self. Francis and his wife seemed to have entertained him so well. I loved that they had a dog so Junior was able to get that interaction as well. Francis sent a lot of pictures, which I loved! Communication wasn’t that bad. And best of all my dog came home safe and sound. Will definitely be booking with them again.”
“Sarah took great care of our baby fur Moka. She sent photos and update us regularly. It made our trip so much better knowing that Moka was being well taken care of. Thank you Sarah for your love and care of our Moka!”


“Guy was wonderful in taking special care of our elderly dog Oli. We would recommend Guy for dog care, he was very tentative to Oli’s special needs. Guy kept us updated on how Oli was doing and even sent a picture. Thanks again for taking care of him while we were on vacation! Lorraine and Rich”

About: I have over 10 years of experience taking care of babies/toddlers, cats and dogs. I currently have my own dog but have lived in a multiple animal household (2 dogs, 2 cats and a kitten) as well as taken care of 2 toddlers that lived with 3 labs. Family, friends, or by word of mouth, I have been relied on to take care of their fur babies. I will care for your pets as if they are my own. I work full time throughout the week but I am remote so I am home for most of the day. I will be available to let out as many times as needed as well as stay as close to their normal routines as possible. I enjoy going for walks throughout the day to get away from the computer so they will enjoy some walks (weather permitting). I prefer to keep your pets in their own home where they are most comfortable and familiar. They will have company throughout the entire day unless I have something planned in the evening. If I do have something planned, I will run it by you to ensure that I know their routine for when they are left alone. For any drop ins or walks, with me working from home it is not hard for me to transport myself for the day or to take breaks. If a pet needs to come to my home, it is an upstairs apartment located by a park which is great for walking and a very calm neighborhood. With whatever service you decide, I will send you daily pictures/videos so you are able to truly enjoy your vacation knowing that your fur baby is being taken care of.
