About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, and fish for family and friends! They have relied on me for feeding, walking, playing, and cleaning their spaces! I am currently not working during summer break and won’t be going back until the school year! I am available during the summer weekdays and weekends! I have 3 cats at home who stay indoors, I am able to keep them inside for their safety as they are my family. They are treated very well. My cats are kept clean, played with, enjoy their window time, and their litter boxes clean. I will make sure things are kept neat in the home and things that can be a danger to the animal will be put away.

About: Hello, my name is Anna, and I’m a dedicated and experienced dog caregiver with a lifelong passion for animals. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of owning and caring for three wonderful dogs—a Bichon Frise, a Lab mix, and a Pitbull—each of whom taught me something unique about loyalty, love, and responsibility. My Experience I have hands-on experience managing all aspects of dog ownership, including training, daily walks, vet appointments, and all related care expenses. I'm comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes and am confident handling multiple dogs at once. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a gentle senior, I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs. I work full-time, but pet care is a meaningful part of my life and something I make time for. I’m available for evening walks, weekend dog sitting, and flexible drop-ins. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I always ensure they get the attention and love they deserve, no matter how busy life gets. In my home, pets stay in a safe, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I follow their usual routine to help them feel at ease. In a client’s home, I respect your space and stick to your pet’s schedule—feeding, walking, and giving them the love and attention they’re used to. Wherever your pet is, I care for them like they’re my own.
About: My husband and I grew up with dogs and have loved and cared for many over the years including our first doggy child, Molly. She has since crossed the rainbow bridge and although we’re not quite ready yet for a new dog, we’re happy to share our built up puppy love to provide a safe and loving environment while you’re away. At our home, all dogs become part of our family and I will reinforce any behaviors you maintain in your own home. But if your pet is used to couch cuddles they’ll get the same thing here! They’ll have all of the love and comforts of home that cannot be matched by any traditional boarding place, while receiving personal attention as they’re in space where they’ll be the only dog. It’s a change for your dog to go from one home to a new one. However, I find that having a home with no personal pets and no other boarders helps to ease the transition and get them acclimated quickly. I work from home full time so your pet would have nearly 24/7 care. It makes me so happy to be able to spend my workday with a fuzzy friend! You’d be aware of all times where I wouldn’t be home but this typically does not exceed 2 hours. When the weather is nice, the family and I try to be out as much as possible and will always bring your dog along for the fun! I enjoy getting out for walks several times a day to stretch out my legs after extensive periods behind a desk. If your dog is up for it, then I’m happy to get to bring them on my walks! I have a large, fenced yard with a designated “potty” area. There are no other pets in the home so even the most anti social of pups are welcomed here. Since I work from home, I’m able to accommodate almost any feeding, medication or bathroom schedule and provide lots of cuddles! I care about the safety and wellness of your pet above all else and have been certified in pet CPR and first aid. If your dog will be joining us in the car, I have a harness for their safety while traveling.
“Today was my first time using rover. Violet was my first walker. She showed up on time and respected our home. She was patient getting to know my dog and showed him kindness. I appreciate her taking care of my doggie while i was at work. Will def do it again.”
About: I grew up with dogs! When I was younger I had 2 dogs and they ended up having a litter of puppies which we put up for adoption in happy homes. Later in life I had two other dogs which are still with my family on Long Island. Now my husband and two young kids have two dogs. Stark is a 10 year old yorkie mix. We adopted him in 2013. Wednesday is a mini Bernedoodle and is 6 years old. We brought her home in 2018. They are the sweetest and we are pretty happy together! He LOVES to play with other dogs. We would love for your pup to stay with us and play with Stark and Wednesday. My husband and i work remote for most of the week. We have a good amount of flexibility so adding another pup to the mix is no issue. We have a fenced in yard and let the dogs out 4-5 times per day. We can walk if needed. We can only sit in our home.
About: Hi there! My name is Paige, and I’ve never known a life without dogs. Since I was around 6, I’ve been helping out around the house with pet-related chores. My passion and love for animals has shaped me as a human being, and I can’t wait to give your furry best friend all my love. :) I currently work part time, leaving me with lots of free time to care for your furry friend! No need to worry about me cancelling last minute! Ever since I was born, there has been a dog in the house. I was taught at a young age to care for and unconditionally love animals. Your pets safety is of utmost importance to me. When I am taking care of your pet I am alert, aware, and focused.
About: As a dog sitter, I’m responsible, caring and attentive to each dogs needs. I follow our owners instructions carefully, ensuring proper feeding, exercise, and medication if needed. I keep owners updated with regular check-ins and photos. Most importantly, I truly love dogs and treat each one with kindness and respect ensuring they are happy and well cared for when in my care. Pet care is my full-time job, so it’s a big part of my daily and weekly routine. My schedule allows plenty of time to walk, feed, and play with your dog, making sure they get the attention and care they need. We live in a home with a large fenced in backyard. We have a dog of our own - a friendly, small mixed breed rescue.
“Kelsey was so patient and amazing with my pup. Kaya is super friendly but has never had someone new come into the house when we weren’t home and let her out of the crate so she was a little defensive and skeptical at first. Kelsey gave her treats and was calm with her while being barked at. Kaya warmed up to her after a few mins and went on a great walk around our neighborhood! Thanks again Kelsey, we appreciate you!”
About: I have experience with dogs and cats for more than 10 years, ranging from breeds such as Shiba Inu, Pitbulls, German Shepards, to the smallest breeds such as Yorkies and Dachshund. I have a love for both dogs and cats. I’m currently working a remote job that gives me the liberty to spend my time either walking dogs in the morning, during break hours, and after work hours. I can also drop in for visits throughout the day. I genuinely care for all fur babies and will treat all clients home and loved pets as if I were taking care of my own.
“Can’t say enough good things about Kayla! She was so accommodating with her schedule, amazing with updates both on her arrival/pictures of Emmy and just overall so sweet. We will definitely recommend her to anyone and be using her again ☺️”
About: I've spent my whole life surrounded by pups and animals. I love having them around & I know how great it feels to come home to a happy dog. I've watched over several of my friends & family dogs/cats as well as fostered dogs for 2 years, and would love to help you feel great about leaving your animal home while work or need some time out! I currently work remote and am therefore pretty flexible as long as there is wifi.. I can stay how ever long is needed and/or visit as often as you'd like! I'd be willing to care for pets at the client's home, up to the parent's wishes. I can play with them outside, take them on long walks, keep them company, whatever makes the client comfortable.
About: I have worked in the veterinary field for several years, and am familiar and comfortable with all sizes of dog, and personalities. From big, and energetic to small, and shy. I’m very patient with all animals. I also have successfully potty trained my own dogs, as well as taught them to follow commands and do a few tricks. I believe regular exercise is extremely important to a dogs overall health and fulfills the very important function of mental stimulation. One thing to consider is I am available at unconventional hours. Which is great for graveyard shift workers, and doubles. I do work usually evenings and some weekends, however when I have boarders, I come home for lunch and to let them out. I am also very active, and go for walks daily. Dogs are never left out of sight. I have access to a fenced in yard, and we've had no escapes as of yet! Water is readily available in several locations.
About: I have 2 dogs of my own, one is 15 and one is 7. I trained them both when they were puppies and now I take care of the oldest in his old age. I have also cared for my brother’s dog, and several of my neighbors dogs in the past. I’ve always been a dog lover and I always will be! I am a Montessori teacher currently off for the summer! I am looking to keep busy by doing something I love! If all works out I would love to continue this long term. I will try to gain your dog’s trust by following their lead. I will do whatever it takes to make your dog feel comfortable and loved while you are not around!
About: I got my first dog when I was 5 years old in kindergarten. Since then I have taken care of many dogs and tons of other animals. Growing up my brother had a bearded dragon, an iguana, 2 sugar gliders, and a tortoise. I have been surrounded by pets all my life and always took care of them including washing them, walking them, cutting their nails, feeding them, and of course sleeping with them. For the past couple of years I have also dog sat for friends and family and also fed and walked them. I am currently working a part time job and am in school full time. I only work Tuesdays and Thursdays 4-9, and I am in school mostly until around 11 or 12 throughout the week and have a ton of gaps for me to work at various times. I can crate the pet if needed, I mostly walk them or play with them inside and outside. I will feed them at the times they need and make sure to always let them out at least 30 minutes after they eat to make sure they don’t go in the house.
About: I live on over an acre of land and have been pet-sitting for the past 2 yrs. I've had all kinds of pets my whole life. I've had dogs, cats, gerbils, fish, turtles- you name it I'd probably taken care of it but I am afraid of pit bulls. Anyone else who has a cage and is house-broken is welcome to stay with me. I'm over 40, my kids are still healthy and alive- 1 is in college- so I can be even nicer with any animal. I love many kinds of animals - my guinea pig was my favorite but I've already been watching my friend's Great Pyranees. He's adorable and sweet. Call me and I'll take the best care of your family pet!

Donovan H.
“Donovan absolutely loves animals and I would trust him caring for any of my animals. I have a hamster which many pet sitters would over look but Donovan’s love of animals and attention to detail would never let him do that. He continually goes above and beyond for me and my pets. I’ve been using him for 4/5 years now with no issues. In addition to all his animal experience he also is very professional. He communicates clearly and in a timely manner. I’ve used other sitters in the past but Donovan has become my go to pet sitter because of how much I trust him and how much he loves my pets. He makes me feel like he loves them like I do and would care for them as I would. He gives me the peace of mind that I need to be able to focus on my work trip or enjoy my vacation knowing my pets are in the very best hands.”

Nelson S.
“Let me start by saying, no one else can watch my dogs! Nelson is amazing with them. He is kind and patient. When he comes to watch them, they are so excited to see him. The care he gives them is truly the sweetest thing to see. My dogs are my babies. They are family. I know it sounds crazy but I have fired other caregivers because they just made no connection with my pets. Nelson took the time to meet them and understand them. He is aware of their medical issues and always will alert me if he feels something is not right. I have used Nelson when I can’t get home in time for a walk, and I have also used him to watch them when I went away for several days. I cannot recommend Nelson Sanchez enough! If your pet is like family then he is the perfect choice for their care.”
