About: I’ve loved and cared for pets for over 15 years, and every animal I meet gets treated like part of my own family. Even though I’ve been a professional pet sitter for a couple of years, my goal is always the same: to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved, and to give owners complete peace of mind while they’re away. I currently don’t have pets of my own, but that just means I pour all my attention, care, and affection into the animals I do look after. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and pets with special needs, and I adapt to each animal’s personality to ensure they feel at home and cherished. I’ll always keep the owner updated with pictures, so they know their beloved pet is safe with me. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide flexible, attentive care throughout the day. I can offer regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship, making sure pets feel loved and never lonely while their owners are away. Being home allows me to adapt to each pet’s routine, whether it’s nap times, feeding schedules, or special needs, so they always feel comfortable and cared for. I provide care for pets in my home, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Living in a studio, I focus on giving them plenty of attention and playtime, and I take them on regular walks in a lovely neighborhood full of other friendly dogs. Safety is always my priority—I keep dogs on a leash and closely supervise them, so pets can enjoy their time with me worry-free.

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats for almost my whole life--we had two dogs and a cat in the house since I was about 8 years old, and I also took care of the neighbors' pets consistently! Over the past few years, I've regularly house sat and watched my neighbor's dog for 3-14 days a time, and also gave him 8 pills a day to help prevent his seizures. I've also boarded multiple dogs at my house while our friends were out of town, and helped take care of my parents' aging dogs and cat in the last few years of their lives. Mostly, I just love animals and want to help others when they need to be away from their pets! I will gladly send photo updates to pet owners, whether we're on a walk, playing, or having a little sleepover! :) I'm a freelance/wedding videographer, so the winter months are pretty slow and give me plenty of free time for dog walks or cat drop-ins any day of the week, or to board pets here while I'm working from home! I live in a townhouse with plenty of space for dogs to roam around. My usual daily walk is through a safe, residential neighborhood away from the main roads. Your dogs are free to jump on furniture/sleep in bed with me if they want. :) We also have plenty of room for crates and bedding. We have a small fenced-in patio space in the back where they can hang out outside-- it's not a grass yard but there are garden beds they can use for the bathroom! Pictures are included in my profile. We also live near a large field for running and fetch, as well as multiple dog parks if that's something you're comfortable with! My boyfriend also loves dogs and will be here in the evenings and on weekends for extra love and cuddles for your dogs! However I'll be the sole caregiver and the only one responsible for your pets at all times, so I'll always be the one feeding, walking, and supervising :)

“My dogs flew out of the car and pulled me to the door to see Brian, who seems to be their new favorite person. In my opinion, that is the best endorsement you could get! Happy dogs who are BEYOND excited to go back!”

“Fernie had a great first day care experience with Jodee and AJ! We did a meet and greet the day before with Maverik and their other regular day care pup, Winnie, to make sure everyone was compatible. Fernie had a blast sniffing and running all around the yard and Jodee sent me picture and status updates throughout the day.”

“I feel like my dog is in very good hands with Yulia. She really cares about the dogs in her care and also the owners. I loved getting pictures to see how my dog, Trooper, was getting along with the other dogs and having fun.”

Diana C.

“We had a great experience leaving our dog Otto to spend a day with Amina. She communicated very well and gave Otto the attention he needed. Otto also had the opportunity to enjoy the time with Snowy (Amina’s lovely dog). Thank you very much for the great care. Looking forward to have Otto spending more time with you soon.”

“I cannot recommend Scarlett enough. My pup has the BEST time with her and Lassie. His tail is always wagging when he comes see her for his regular daycare. Scarlett’s communication is excellent and I really love all the pictures and video updates she sends throughout the day. She makes sure your pup has a great balance of walks, enrichment, and rest throughout the day. I can see how she really takes the care to love your pup like her own. I couldn’t be happier, thank you Scarlett!!”

About: I had two dogs growing up (Snowball and Mocha) and in recent years, have dog sat for friends, friends, and for Rover clients. It's rewarding and super fun for me! I enjoy the long walks in my neighborhood (I live in an awesome neighborhood for that) and lots of cuddles/belly rubs with the dogs I am sitting! I work from home most of the week and have plenty of time during the day for neighborhood strolls/walks with my rover pups. I love going for walks to take a break so would take the dog out at least 3 or 4 times a day with me. My husband and I live in a 2 bedroom/2 floor condo with a balcony. The dog would have access to the first floor. We have hard wood floors, a ton of really great light and are on the 3rd floor. There are no elevators in this building. We have a ton of neighbors who have dogs, an elementary school near by with a nice track/green space, and lots of side walk space for walks.

“Esther and her wonderful husband are the perfect dog sitters! They helped me out in a last minute pinch. They were extremely amenable to my needs, and took special care of my little Galileo. Such a friendly, loving home! Highest recommendation I can give!!!”

“Miguel & Lisa have been absolutely phenomenal! My dog couldn’t wait to come back the second day. & They handled him eating a gallon of cat food so graciously. I wasn’t worried at all about Jäger while he was with them all day. Definitely will be a regular!”

About: I've taken care of many different kinds of dogs over the years. My top priority is your pet's safety. I'm observant of common distractions for dogs and have found good walk routes in my neighborhood that will keep your dog feeling safe and calm. What I've learned over the years is that each pet is unique and that it's important to understand each pets individual needs to be able to get them what they need. I can meet dogs at their level when it comes to their play/attention needs. My current schedule has the flexibility to make sure your pet gets plenty of long walks and exercise which can be challenging especially in these winter months. I hope I'm able to meet you and your pet's needs!

“Diana was so wonderful and sweet towards Pinot! I could tell that Pinot had a great time because he steered me towards her apartment when I took him for a walk after picking him up LOL. Thank you so much Diana, I look forward to booking with you again ❤️”

“It's a joy to leave my dog with Camila! He's so happy to see her and looks happy in the photos. It seems they have a lot of fun and he's always wiped out when I pick him up.”

Lindsay G.

“Mel was fantastic with our shy puppy! Her facilities were well organized with care and cleanly. She was extremely kind and a true dog lover! Our pup came home very happy. There's an outdoor area for the pups to play, indoor area, crates as needed. We will be returning again!”
