“Meg was amazing!! She sent us daily updates and photos, and handled my Aussie’s Epilepsy meds daily with no issues. Plus she did laundry and cleaned up the house before we got home! Shes the best!”


“Madeleine was so awesome! She kept me updated throughout her stay and gave my dogs the love and attention they needed. She’s super personable and just the best! Super thorough and very detailed! Highly recommend and I’ll definitely rebook with her if she’s free! Thank you!!”

“Lauren did such a wonderful job housesitting/dog sitting. I loved getting photo updates multiples times every day. My pug had a great time with her and I know she’s looking forward to her next “vacation” with Lauren!”

“Samantha was amazing with our dog and she was comfortable right away during the meet and greet. While we were gone Samantha sent regular updates and photos. We were very comfortable that Momo was in good hands!”

“Maddy did a great job taking care of my 3 dogs for 10 days. My dogs love her, she lets them out frequently and goes above and beyond. She left the house very clean. I would highly recommend Maddy.”

“Emma was on time for our meet and greet and on the day she cared for our dog. She listened to and followed all instructions, asked appropriate questions, and took excellent care of our dog at our home. Next time I need a dog-sitter I will contact Emma first.”

“Amber was so accommodating and flexible with us and our changing schedule. We got photos and videos and through those it was obvious that our dog, Cain was comfortable with her and having fun! I felt so at ease knowing he was in good care. When we first met she asked so many thoughtful questions that left me feeling that this was a good match for us. Would recommend and would definitely reach out to Amber again.”

“This was our first time having a "stranger" come take care of our adult (50lb) and puppy (70lb) pitbulls that are our "children." Melanie was kind enough to come for a meet-and-greet, and we were so pleasantly surprised by how quickly she scooped them both into her arms and embraced them with all their endless kisses - this is when we knew! She truly cared for them just as well, if not better than we do! Melanie did all these small but very special things we didn't expect, and we were grateful to return to happy furbabies and the cutest pictures of them, and I am quite sure a cleaner home than what I left it (thank you!!). This was a short notice booking, about 2 weeks' notice, and I'm just so happy it worked out - we feel very lucky! If we get a chance to go on a vacation again in the future, we will be reaching out to Melanie again :)”

“Danialle did a wonderful job with our boys. Both are picky friends and they were so calm when we got home! Excellent with communication and I could tell that she really loved on my pups.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Enrique! From the start, his communication was excellent. He was quick to respond, clear with details, and kept us updated throughout the stay. He arrived exactly when he said he would and made sure our two dogs felt comfortable. We really appreciated the photo updates. It was so nice to see our dogs happy and relaxed while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a while as I have two of my own! I will treat your dogs like I would my own! I work full time but my work is very flexible as well so I can fit around your schedule. We can definitely discuss more options for the schedule. I have two dogs of my own that I care for and I have a routine where I take them out every morning and feed them and take them for walks and just spend quality time. I can easily adapt to your dogs routine and treat them as my own.
“My dog and I fell in love. Andrea is amazing. I feel so comfy on vacation because she is an excellent sitter for my Kayce. My pitbull was in heaven! She is the best. Highly recommend.”

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and truly love spending time with animals. I’ve raised and trained my own Lab (now 10), so I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that’s consistent with what they’re used to. I naturally pay attention to each dog’s personality and energy. Some love long walks and playtime, while others just want a calm presence and a little extra comfort—and I’m happy to meet them exactly where they’re at. Building trust with animals is really important to me, and I try to create an environment where they feel relaxed and at ease. Right now I have a very flexible weekday schedule, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of time, attention, and care. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or just spending time keeping them company, I’ll make sure they’re well taken care of and sticking to their normal routine. I’m comfortable following whatever works best for your pet—crating, free roaming, feeding schedules, medications, or training. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I take that seriously. As I continue on Rover, I’d love to eventually offer boarding and build long-term relationships with both pets and their owners. I’d love to meet you and your dog! I have a super flexible schedule right now, which allows me to give plenty of time and attention to your pet. Whether you need someone just to give a quick pet or to give them dinner, I have time for your loved one. I am dedicated to keeping your pet as comfortable as possible. Building trust and understanding an animal’s routine is essential for success. Whether your pet free roams or is crate trained, I try to make things as easy and stress free as possible for them.
About: I’ve been a cat owner/lover since I was a child. I’ve dealt with some cat wound care & senior care. I have had about 6 years of experience with dogs. I love all animals and am great at reading their needs! I’m currently getting back into the work life after recovering from open heart surgery! I work DoorDash on the side and create my own schedule. I’m available almost everyday. I will care for your pets with the same love, respect, and attentiveness that I have for my own. I will respect your property and am very trustworthy.
About: Growing up on a hobby farm gave me experience with,and love for, a wide range of animals. I have a great deal of experience with cats and dogs, but also a long list of farm and exotic animals. In my circle, I tend to be the person that people call for help or knowledge with their fur babies. I am experienced and comfortable administering oral, topical, inhaled, and injected medications. I am well versed in first aid/wound care and am CPR certified. I own my own business so I am able to be flexible with my hours to accommodate all of my clients and their fur babies needs. Attention to detail and communication is important to me. So when I am caring for a furry family member in your home or out on a walk I am sure to follow all direction given. In addition, I will always provide you with updates and check ins on how your fur baby is doing.
