About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid and is something I just love. Whenever I go to see a friend who owns a dog, I spend more time with the dog often times! I don’t have any of my own at the moment since my partner has allergies, but being there to dog sit will allow me to spread that love and care with them. I have watched many of my friends dogs overnight or just for the day due to my hybrid schedule - which is wonderful! I work a hybrid role - so I might be able to offer walks during the day on some days of the week. But weekends work best for me to stay over and dog sit (for those traveling or don’t want their dog in someone else’s home). This will help build trust and love with the little ones, while keeping them in the comfort of their own home. I always want to ask, what are the do’s and dont’s since every dog is different. I want to make sure they are able to relax and enjoy the company as much as I would. If I’m able to stay at the sitters home, I will routinely send updates or photos (as desired) and give them peace of mind to know that they’re little ones are safe with me. I absolutely adore dogs and I want to make them as loved as they deserve. If I take them for walks, recap anything that they did to report back to the owner as well.
“Catherine watched my fur babes while I was in Europe. She was fantastic! I got lots of pictures and daily updates all of which eased my mind while away. I HIGHLY recommend”
“Sean was absolutely amazing while sitting for our dog, Kip. Kip is diabetic, and Sean said it was no problem as he had experience with pet injectables. He provided updates with photos and videos. It's always hard to leave your pet with someone for the first time, but Sean made it a smooth process. I would 100% ask Sean to sit for Kip again!”

“Thank you so much, Maura! We truly appreciate the wonderful care you gave our dogs, Linda and Honey, during the 8 days you spent with them. You were attentive, responsible, and so loving with them, and it gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We highly recommend Maura to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We are very grateful for everything you did!”

“Lauren did an amazing job taking care of my pups! She kept me updated throughout the day and sent me pics as well. I will definitely be using her again in the future!”

About: I use to take care of my friends dog before I started having my own in 2020! I have 3 other dogs and I would give the world for them. So I understand if you need any help when you’re out on trips or can’t take care of your babies. Im available for dog walks after 6pm during the weekdays and during the weekends im usually available during the day time if your baby needs to go on a long walk! When I’m home I’m always with my dogs, I take them out anytime if they need to go! I have 3 other dogs & they are super friendly!
“Had Ryan watch our little Disco during our work trip to Chicago. During the trip, we received daily updates, along with cute photos and videos of his walks and play time, and we felt great knowing he was having a good time. Ryan is a great sitter; A+ and would definitely book again!”

“Marta, is a great dog sitter. She did an excellent job with our dog Red. He is an English Bulldog and is high maintenance because of his age. She was patient with him and made sure he took his medication, fed and comfortable while we were out of town. I highly recommend heard our house was very clean when we returned!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who believes dogs deserve all the love, belly rubs, and happy walks they can get! I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes and personalities — from playful puppies to older cuddle bugs — and I absolutely love spending time with them! Whether it’s a long walk, rough housing, or just cozy couch time, I’ll make sure your pup feels cared for, safe, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like my own and love getting to know their quirks and favorite things. You can expect lots of text updates, silly photos, and goofy videos! 🐾✨ I work unique hours during the week, so I have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings for walks, drop-ins, and quality pet time. My flexible schedule lets me give pets consistent care and attention without feeling rushed. Safety is ALWAYS my first focus — keeping doors locked, leashes secure, and routines consistent. I’m attentive during walks and play, and always make sure your pup feels comfortable and cared for.

“This was my first time using the app and was nervous leaving my babies and having someone stay at my home without knowing them. I searched through many profiles and immediately felt at ease with Jaclyn, she was responsive and proactive. We had a meet and greet and Maia instantly came to her and settled on Jaclyn’s lap while we talked logistics. I was sold when Jaclyn naturally just started petting her and said to both my pups, we’re going to have a good time together. I felt at ease leaving them with Jaclyn, she has a natural calming energy. During her time with my pups she was communicative and followed instructions perfectly. Both my boyfriend and I were pleasantly surprised to find the home exactly as we left it. I highly recommend Jacklyn and will most definitely work with her in the future.”

“Camila was awesome!!! She took care of my 3 babies. 1 cat and 2 doggies and 1 of them is a wild 1 year old puppy. I turned the camera once while I was away and saw Camila cuddling my cat with so much love and care that it melt my heart and I new I made the right decision hiring her. Thank you Camila! :)”

“Adrianna was super friendly and helpful even took us to the airport when Uber wasn’t working. She stayed at our place to take care of our pups and left it clean. We will definitely use her again.”

“Alyssa is a real sweetheart..our dogs loved her and when we came home they were super happy. The house was left clean and tidy and everything was in its place the way it should be... I will recommend the service provided to anyone who loves there pet. I will definitely be using Rover again and Alyssa will be my first choice by far.. Many thanks Alyssa”

Thank you so much, Maura! We truly appreciate the wonderful care you gave our dogs, Linda and Honey, during the 8 days you spent with them.

We highly recommend Maura to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We are very grateful for everything you did!

Daniela took such great care of our boys — our wild Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy and our senior Shih Tzu — and handled them like a total pro. She was super patient with the puppy energy, gentle and attentive with my older dog, and kept me updated the whole time so I never had to worry. On top of that, she left my home spotless. She went above and beyond in every way, and I came back to two happy dogs and a clean house. I couldn’t ask for anything more. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your pets and your home, Daniela is the one. I’ll definitely be booking her again!

Jessica was awesome with our boys (1 puppy and 1 senior)! She gave great updates and really made sure they were happy and cared for. You can tell she genuinely loves animals. It was such a comfort knowing they were in good hands when I’m not home. Highly recommend!

Marta, is a great dog sitter. She did an excellent job with our dog Red. He is an English Bulldog and is high maintenance because of his age. She was patient with him and made sure he took his medication, fed and comfortable while we were out of town. I highly recommend heard our house was very clean when we returned!

We leveraged David to house sit during our recent Ft Lauderdale vacation. David is good communicator, responsive, prompt, and professional. He was also sensitive, gentle and attentive to our cocker spaniel. We are very peculiar and picky about whom we entrust with our little one. We felt calm and confident having David house sit which enabled us to get time away for dinners and other events while on vacation. Highly recommend David!
