“Great experience!”
“Pallavi was fantastic! She took great care of our puppy. She understood the needs of the puppy by discussing the requirements ahead of time, clearly explained the plan on how she plans to handle the puppy and provided regular updates on the status. I would recommend her anyone looking for a pet loving, professional pet caretaker.”
“Super friendly family. I felt comfortable leaving my dog for the day at their house. They made me feel comfortable by offering to meet up before providing service. Their dog is super friendly which was great company for my puppy.”
“Lasya and her family were awesome to work with. We had great communication, she sent photos and texted throughout the day. Our dog, Kuma seemed to have had tons of fun with their dog Simba. Lasya was very kind and patient. Looking forward to booking with her again in the future!”
“I've used Vanessa several times. She's always accommodating with my crazy schedule, and always keeps me updated with messages and pictures.”
“Lizabeth was wonderful! She was very responsive with communication around booking & care instructions, and she went above & beyond sending updates and photos throughout the day! She made me feel confident that I left my little Hugo in good hands!”
“Asheley did a fantastic job looking after our Jack Russell terrier Stella. It has been a long time since Stella had been with a dog sitter, but she felt really comfortable with Asheley, and already on the second day was looking forward to going back. Drop off and pickup were super easy, and Stella got plenthy of exercise and stimulation during the day, so she was easy to deal with after a long day at work.”
About: I've owned dogs for the past 20 years, first an Australian Shephard, then a yellow Lab. I've also cared for the dogs of friends and family. After the death of my most recent guy, Petey, I decided that I want the companionship of dogs without the vet bills$ I'm now retired from teaching and have all the time in the world to sit, walk, transport and care for dogs. I can accept dogs during the day or night, 7 days a week. Your dogs will be in an open setting in my home. I have a fenced yard so they can play. I live near a park and a riverfront, so long walks can be taken through natural settings. I accept only one or two dogs at a time, depending on the personality and behaviour of the dogs. I have a van that can transport dog to wherever they need to go.
“Great sitter, quick communications, sent pictures, accommodated late pick up, pup is pooped and napping, grey job, highly recommended.”

“My pet Ira (10-month-old Vizsla) is a repeat customer through rover. and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the start, Diana was incredibly responsive and attentive to my pet's needs.

My dog came back happy and well-exercised, clearly enjoying the time spent with Diana I highly recommend Diana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet caregiver.

About: I’m currently a student and working from from home and love dogs to my core. I have a 5 year old toy poodle named Mason. He’s so sweet & playful and he’s always looking for another puppy to play with.

Safety of your pet is my priority so there’s no need to worry while they’re under my watch.

“Karen was a great help with Luna when I unexpectedly had to leave the dog home alone for a VERY long day. She came over to give her cuddle and pee breaks and a trip to Barkside, Luna’s home away from home. 💕 Even went the extra mile to clean up a little dog mess. Thanks!!!!!”
About: Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and passion for pet care comes from learning pet care from my dad who is police dog trainer. I currently work from home it's a flexible job so l would have plenty time for the pet. Also I would love to go out on walks. I have fenced yard where we can go out play, I have play toys, yummy treats for the fur babies. Also would love to go on walks. I do not take many pets in one service so I can provide more personalized services.
“Awesome! He really helped me out when I was in a bind. Great with communication, following care instructions, and just being patient with my puppy. I will be sending Otis back to him when I need his help.”
About: Need a house sitter, plant sitter, or pet sitter you can count on? Hi, I’m Madrona — a remote marketing professional with a flexible schedule, years of experience, and a serious soft spot for furry companions. Since my family (and their pets) no longer live nearby, I’m looking to spend more quality time with animals — whether that’s a quick walk, a drop-by visit, or a longer stay in your home while you’re away. I’m available for: • Overnight house and pet sitting (I’ll stay in your home and care for pets + plants) • Drop-ins and walks • Short-term or occasional care I’ve worked with pets who are reactive, anxious, on meds, or just need a little extra patience. I’ve also been the go-to sitter for everything from cats with attitude to senior dogs with complex routines. I treat every home and animal like my own — with care, consistency, and respect. Tabor, my sweet family dog, won’t be tagging along unless invited, but he’s why I do this. He taught me how much love and attention animals really need — and deserve. Let’s chat if you’re looking for someone kind, experienced, and reliable. Because I work remotely and make my own schedule, I have the flexibility to integrate pet care seamlessly into my day. Whether it’s morning walks, mid-day visits, or overnight stays, I can be fully present and consistent — no rushing between commitments or leaving pets alone for long stretches. I genuinely enjoy the quiet companionship animals bring, so spending time with them is never a chore — it’s something I look forward to. Whether I’m staying in your home or stopping by throughout the day, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, seen, and cared for the entire time you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping things as close to their usual routine as possible. That means sticking to feeding schedules, walk times, medication if needed, and any specific instructions you provide — all while giving them plenty of love, attention, and calm energy. I’m respectful of your space, tidy, and communicative, so you’ll always know how things are going while you’re away. For drop-ins or walks, I make sure each visit is intentional — not rushed. I give pets time to settle, play, get their energy out (or just relax), and always check on their water, food, and general well-being. If I’m doing overnight care, I work remotely from your home, so your pets get lots of company and consistency throughout the day — not just in the mornings and evenings. No matter the service, your pet’s comfort and safety come first.
About: I got my first puppy when I was eleven and I have raised her up to this point! Additionally, I have babysat other dogs overnight, walked dogs, and more. Additionally, I have walked dogs of all sizes and with varying degrees of training, so no dog will be an issue! I am a recent college graduate pursuing a career in veterinary medicine! I am looking to gain as much animal experience as possible, so will make the time to take care of your pets when you need it! I live in an apartment that has a yard out front. Additionally, there are many parks near by that I can walk your dog to to play or just take in the fresh air. My home is their home!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I am relied on by friends and family as a responsible dog owner that will always put the needs of the dog first. I’m currently studying for the Bar Exam, which means I’m at home all day. Being home all day means your pet will receive the best care possible, and will never have to be alone. I live in a condo building that has 24/7 security and my condo is very safe and secure for pets. I am very responsive and will keep you updated throughout to ensure that your pet is safe and secure.

“Donna is often called upon to watch our dog Cheddo. She is amazing with him, making him feel very comfortable with her interactions. I've witnessed the dedication to sick or struggling dogs that Donna has provided for. She is definitely a dog person. Donna is very responsible and at times has made personal sacrifices to ensure her dog had the care and veterinary care it requires. I would recommend Donna for the care of any dog.”

10. Preeti P.
“Let me begin by saying that my dog is my baby and I treat him as such! I am very critical of who I allow to care for him. That being said, I HIGHLY recommend Preeti and For The Love of Dogs, She treats my dogs as if they were her own. She is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. Stark adore her and that means everything to me. It is apparent from the moment you see her interact with your dog that it is not just a business to her, it is her love. In addition, her knowledge regarding all aspects of canine care is extensive and helpful. The peace of mind in knowing that my baby is well cared for is priceless.”

16. Madrona P.
“I truly don’t know what I would have done without Madrona. My dog Milo has some pretty specific needs, both medical and emotional, and I’d been nervous to leave him in anyone else’s care. From the very first visit, she put both of us at ease. She took the time to understand his routine, his medications, and all the little things that help him feel safe. I came home to a happy, calm Milo, which never used to happen, and the regular updates gave me total peace of mind. Madrona is not only dependable—she’s incredibly kind, intuitive, and clearly loves what she does. I wouldn’t trust anyone else.”
17. Summer B.
“Summer's has demonstrated patience and care with my dog and many others. I witnessed Summer work with a challenging family pet that would not go outside. Once Summer was able to leash the dog, she ran it outside for a potty break, in the middle of winter, without even putting her shoes on because she only cared about the dog. She truly shows compassion with all animals.”
