About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have had rescue dogs and cats most of my life. My current furry children are Roscoe, a 13-lb terrier mix, and Onyx, my sweet senior cat—both rescues with big personalities. I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family for years, and I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters and fostered, so I’m especially comfortable with rescue pets who might need a little extra patience and care. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, slow introductions, or a consistent routine, I try to make every pet feel safe, relaxed, and at home. I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. Happy to chat or answer any questions! Since I work from home full-time, I’m around throughout the day to give pets lots of attention, playtime, and snuggles. My daily routine is pretty calm and consistent—perfect for dogs who enjoy a steady environment and regular companionship. Walks, meals, and downtime all fit easily into my schedule. I do occasionally travel for work, but I always block off my calendar during those times so there’s no overlap or surprises. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, I offer a calm, low-stress environment with plenty of human company (since I work from home) and a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time. I only take a limited number of pets at once so I can give each one the attention and care they deserve. I live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood that’s great for walks, and I always keep dogs leashed unless we’re in the secure yard. I’m very mindful of introductions with my own pets—Roscoe is friendly and used to sharing his space, and my senior cat Onyx knows how to keep to herself. Whether it’s sticking to your pet’s usual routine, giving medications, or just offering a cozy space to relax, I do everything I can to help animals feel safe, settled, and loved while you’re away.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and personalities for over 6 years! From playful puppies to senior sweethearts, I treat every pup like family. I’m confident handling multiple dogs at once, administering medications if needed, and making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well-exercised. My experience includes walking, bathing, feeding, and even a bit of basic training for good manners and leash behavior! I currently work from home, which gives me lots of flexibility to give your pup the love and attention they deserve! Your dog will get personalized care, cuddles, and plenty of playtime when they’re with me. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood with a fenced-in dog park for both small and large dogs—perfect for playtime! Your pup will have great company with my sweet 11-year-old West Highland Terrier who is easy going loves making new friends. I always supervise interactions and make sure every dog feels safe, relaxed, and at home.

“Kathryn was great with Jasper. He played with her dog and had a nice walk. Probably got a bit spoiled as well. Definitely will be using Kathryn again in the near future.”


“Katie is great! This was Mochi’s first time being around other dogs for this amount of time and she definitely put my mind at ease with of all the pictures she sent. Mochi had a great time and will definitely be seeing Katie and Henry soon!”


About: Hi! I'm Emily, and lived with a dog since I was four years old. My sweet resident dog Poppy and I would love to take care of and play with your pup while you're away! I have a large fenced in yard to play and relax in, and morning and afternoon walks are almost always in our schedule. As a dog mom for about 6 years, I have a lot of experience caring for dogs, and can accommodate whatever your dog needs. I am also a volunteer and occasional foster for Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and previously volunteered at the MSPCA. I am on a hybrid work schedule, and typically am in the office Mondays and Wednesdays. I walk the dogs before work and after work, and when I'm home I'll have more than enough time to give your dog the attention they deserve. I'll make sure your pup has a fun and safe day! We'll have playtime, walks, and cuddles. Fresh water and a comfy dog bed (or sofa!) are always available.

“Abigail was incredible! It was my first time using Rover for the “doggy day care” and I’m definitely sticking with it. Abigail kept me posted throughout the day with personalized updates. Boba and Mila got along so well! I always feel a bit anxious leaving Mila behind while I’m at work, but I felt so much better knowing she was in Abigail’s care. I’m so grateful it worked out, and I’ll definitely be using her again!”


“Sputnik had a great time with Shane. When we left him at Shane’s place he was exited to arrive and when we picked him up he was happy and tired. Really good experience !”


“Simon took great care of our dog Cactus, and she came home tired and happy. He is very kind and easy to communicate with. Cactus eagerly awaits her next visit!”


About: My dog started off as a walking partner before she became my dog. I enjoyed teaching leash training and have spent many hours learning more theories on dog training for my dog. This training helped prepare me to foster multiple dogs of varying breeds and ages with unknown pasts. I also have over a year experience as a dog walker through different app. My dog has passed away so my home and heart is ready to host pups. Please reach out! I work from home and am able to do a lunch time walk plus random break for weekday bookings. I can do drop off/ pickup in early mornings or after 3pm. I am very flexible on weekends. I allow dogs on furniture or bed, but I will enforce your policy to keep them off if that’s their norm. I like to give dogs space at first and let them come to me once ready.

About: I have a variety of pet care experiences that set me apart from other sitters. I was a volunteer puppy raiser for the Guide Dog Foundation for two years. During this time I raised an 8-week old puppy and trained her to be a service dog. I have experience in potty training, crate training, basic obedience, socialization, and reactivity training. I have also fostered animals for local shelters including a bonded pair of cats, a 4-week old puppy, and a senior dog. I have experience in administering a variety of medications for both cats and dogs and am comfortable doing so. I have also personally owned a cat and currently own a young dog! I currently work a 9-5 job during the week. I work remotely 2 days a week and am available on weekends. I work very close to home, so I am able to come home during days I am in the office to care for pets if needed. I have an open apartment with room to play and snuggle with your pet. I am right by a park and lots of green space to play with your pet. I am also in a very friendly neighborhood to take dogs on walks. I have extra supplies if needed including a crate. I am happy to accommodate special requests if needed. I can also drop by and take care of your pet(s) at your home if you prefer!

About: I’ve had dogs for 16 years and currently care for a cat I’ve had for eight. I know how important pets are to a family and understand the challenges of juggling life while making sure they’re loved, safe, and well cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to support pets with special needs, including seniors. I currently have full availability to care for your pets throughout the week. Whether it’s daytime walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I can adjust to fit your needs. Weekdays and weekends included. I have a calm, pet-friendly home with a relaxed environment and plenty of space for your cat or dog to feel safe and comfortable. I understand the importance of routines, clear communication, and trust when caring for someone else’s pet and I treat each one like my own.

About: I have previously stayed at friend’s houses to pet sit for them and have taken in friend’s dogs to stay with us for the past year. I’m currently I full time student with Mondays being my longest days out of my apartment but Tuesday-Thursday I am home before 3 and Friday-Sunday I am home all day and available to be there for your pets. My apartment building has its own indoor dog park and I have my dog and cat to keep your pets company. If your pets prefer being on their own we also have a guest room they can play comfortably on their own.


About: Hi! I’m Angela — a lifelong animal lover with 15+ years of real-world pet care. I’ve raised my own dog since puppyhood and have cared for a senior dog who needs extra support, including harness walks and structured 3-hour outdoor time for an entire summer (twice). I also have a cat of my own and spent six months nursing a sick foster cat with dedicated, loving care until she made a full recovery. I know what it takes to keep pets comfortable, calm, and cared for — especially when they need extra attention. I offer more than just pet sitting — I offer peace of mind. Pet care is a part of my everyday life. As someone who works from home, I’m able to provide consistent love, attention, and structure throughout the day. From scheduled walks and playtime to medication and cuddle breaks, caring for our furry friends is already built into my routine. Whether it’s sticking to a senior dog’s schedule or making sure a cat gets their cozy window nap undisturbed, I’m here — present, reliable, and fully tuned into their needs! I’ve cared for animals my whole life — including my 15+ year-old dog and a senior pup needing extra support with harness walks and daily routines. I also have a cat, including one who’s so comfy she lays belly-up and is well-socialized with both dogs and other cats. I recently nursed a foster cat back to health with daily meds, patience, and lots of love. I work from home, so your pets will get full-time care, cuddles, and attention!

“I could not be happier with the love and care Daniel showed to my pup during doggy day care! Daniel shared multiple pictures throughout the day and I could see Deacon beaming in all the pictures! I had complete peace of mind that he was in good hands, which was such a relief after multiple stressful doggy care care experiences. Deacon came home happy and exhausted after playing with his pup all day and receiving multiple walks. He loved spending so much time in their backyard and was spoiled with the birthday treats! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”

All of those dogs went to best homes locally and in the US with great feedbacks from their adopters for being well trained and good natured.

Erica L.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Erica as a pet sitter. She is one of the most caring and responsible people I know, and her love for animals truly shines through in everything she does. She has both a dog named Bella and a cat named Fancy, and she treats them like true members of the family — always attentive, loving, and patient. She understands that every pet has their own personality and needs, and she takes the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s keeping pets on a routine, going for walks, playing, or just being there for company and cuddles, Erica always goes the extra mile. She used to care for my cat, Otto, and he absolutely loves her — which says a lot, because he’s usually pretty picky about people! If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets like they’re her own, you can trust Erica completely. Bella and Fancy are lucky to have her — and your pets will be too!”

“Kim watched my 3 fur babies in my home for a week and was amazing!! She sent the cutest pictures, make sure they were fed on time, and well, walked every day and snuggled constantly!
