“Liz was great to work with. She provided wonderful care for our new puppy as well as our other pups. My dogs were happy to see her and I felt much better knowing our puppy wasn't in her crate for too long. I knew my dogs and home were in good hands. I will definitely look for her again when we need help with our dogs.”

Tabatha O.

“Ann was great with our cats. We appreciated her quick communication, professionalism, and prompt updates. Also, thank you for bringing in our packages!! Our shmittens aren’t the friendliest but Ann even got some pets in. We are grateful we found Ann!”

“Nicholas was very professional and reliable. He was attentive to detail and managed a complex senior dog. I would highly recommend him. Excellent communication Thank you Nicholas for taking such great care of Darwin and Hazelnut!”

“Wonderful job, will definitely book again!”

“Leah was prompt with her check in and check out times and continually sent us pictures from each visit and an update as to what she did. On her initial visit to meet our 2 cats, one of our cats was a little moody that day and wasn't interested in meeting Leah. But by the second day Leah told us that that particular cat was her new "bestie". The cats were well cared for and everything was done that was noted to be done.”

Kathy F.

“She regularly updated me with photos and was thoughtful enough to realize I hadn't considered getting my keys back.”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my pups received! Lily is incredibly kind, followed every instruction exactly, and stayed in constant communication, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was flexible, friendly, and truly amazing with my dogs! It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. She will make a great vet! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter!”

About: I am dedicated to providing your furry friends with the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. From fun, engaging dog walks to comfortable, home-like boarding, I ensure every pet feels safe and cared for. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll have plenty of time to cater to your pup! I’m available anytime throughout the weekdays and weekends. My schedules pretty flexible at the moment. In my home, I create a comfortable, secure environment where your pet can relax and feel at ease. I have a pet-friendly space with plenty of room for play and rest, and I always ensure they’re supervised and cared for with love and attention. I also have a super friendly dog, that your dog can play with. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I make sure to follow your instructions closely and maintain a routine that keeps them safe and happy. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like family, ensuring a safe and trusting environment for everyone.

About: Mario: I have owned a dog for a majority of my life, from small to big sized dogs. I have owned pure bred and rescues throughout my life, every dog deserves a good home. My favorite dog is the Boston Terrier and I have owned 3 in recent years. I have experience with caring for older dogs and raising pups. My last Boston became sick with a neurological problem which provided me experience with giving daily medicines and changing her diaper multiple times a day. Since her passing, I have adopted two more Boston Terriers. Yoshi is a 2.5year old boy with a quirky personality who loves to give kisses and cuddle at night. Most recent addition to my home is an 8 month old girl named Mochi. Both of my pups are dog friendly, they love going to the dog park to run around and play. I have watched over my brother's 80 pound husky/cattle mix, my parents mixed rescue from a puppy mill, and friend's fur babies in the past. I provided plenty of stimulation with toys, bones, walks, dog parks and general play time of tug of war, fetch, etc. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby and promise to love them like my own!!! Mario: I work full time on a hybrid schedule. I work from home 2-3 days a week; when I do go to the office I am gone from 7am-4:45pm. My dogs eat in the morning then go for a walk to take care of business before I leave for work. When I work from home, I have more flexibility to take the dogs out for more walks or to the dog park (weather permitting). After I come home from work the dogs are fed and taken for another walk; my two dogs keep each other busy, either playing tug-a-war or keep away of their favorite toy. I will also play these games and fetch if they want me to but they tire each other out way better than I ever could. I have a small fenced in patio with grass area for them to do their business, I let the dogs out whenever they want to. I have a small fenced in patio (4ft high fence) with an astro-turf area for the dogs to go potty. I provide a loving and safe environment at my home for my two pups and would do the same for yours. I provide plenty of toys and treats for good behavior, using positive reinforcement. I do crate our dogs when I leave, your dog doesn't necessarily need to be crated if they are well behaved. My pups also sleep in our bed, I would accommodate you to the best of my abilities on the structures and rules your pup has already in place.

“Leah took excellent care of my kitty while I was away. She sent photos and videos, letting me know how well my cat was doing. My cat is very shy, but warmed up to Leah very quickly. I would definitely hire her again to watch my kitty.”

Julianna A.

“This was our first time using Ellie as our dog sitter and we now know why she is listed with star sitter status. Upon meeting her we knew she’d be a good fit and exactly what we were looking for. She was amazing and we truly appreciate the attention to detail, the communication, and care she provided to us and our baby while we were away. Each visit she sent us pictures and detailed notes about our pup’s potty breaks and feedings. We were at ease knowing our baby was safe and in good hands. We are looking forward to hiring Ellie again in the future! Thanks so much!!”

About: I love taking care of all pets and hopefully one day I get to open the cat sanctuary I have dreamt of since a little child in Greece. I have watched cats & dogs throughout my time for my friends & relatives. My friend suggested I join Rover now that I have flexibility with my job. I'm excited because I can do something I love during my free time :) I have a cat at home that is spoiled every single day with love, affection, treats, and toys. He is a really really sweet cat and is used to animals due to living at a rescue. I take him for play dates at my parents house every week who also have a cat and he enjoys it.

About: I have taken care of multiple different pets and all different sizes, to walking, feeding, cleaning up after them, help take care of sick animals. I have pet sat for neighbors, friends and coworkers and learned new insights throughout my experiences. I am currently avaliable all the time and decided my best way would be to spend it with animals and helping owners when in need of some assistance! I love walking around anywhere especially taking long walks in nature or the beach, wherever I can and love to run and exercise so me and your pets will both be getting our workouts in for the day.

About: I grew up with a cat and he was amazing. I currently took in a senior cat who needed me. I’ve taken care of cats for someone who went on a months long vacation in the past. I work full time, but I can work around my schedule. Just give me a heads up with hours. What days you need. Any special instructions. Can’t wait to meet you and your animal children! I will need to go to you. My home is not set up for other animals. Let me know what you need and I will do my best to make it work!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and I love it. I’ve volunteered my help at local shelters, and in recent years, my family and I have fostered liters of up to eight puppies for weeks at a time. I know how to properly care for and play with your dogs. With a part time job, I have a solid amount of time to help care for your dog. From day-to-day care, to extended trips, I can make sure your dog is safely cared for. I’m totally experienced in pet care. With two dogs of my own, I know how to care for them and keep them happy. I’ve always been comfortable around any size dog and I’m ready to help with anything they need

“Veena has all of the characteristics one would want in a cat sitter. She was on time, took many pictures, sent us a long note, and was detail-oriented. We could tell that our cat, Mara, was comfortable around her from the pictures and we returned to a happy cat. Thanks Veena, we really appreciate it!”
