Patrick was FANTASTIC with our blind, diabetic foster pup Karma. He spent over an hour getting to know us and our Karma prior to the booking and immediately made us feel at ease with his knowledge and extensive experience taking care of animals. We were concerned about finding a dog sitter who felt comfortable administering daily insulin injections, particularly as Karma had recently grown less tolerant of needles, but Patrick had prior experience and ultimately no issue giving the shots as instructed over the care period. He spent so much quality time with Karma - tons of cuddles and walks! - and sent wonderful photos and updates on her day with frequency. Patrick made our first experience with Rover incredibly easy. He knows what he’s doing and knows what questions to ask/how to set expectations with owners. THANK YOU Patrick for all you’ve done for us!

Kim did an amazing job watching our dog Ruthie while we were gone! Ruthie was super happy and we had peace of mind knowing she was so well taken care of. Kim also left the house super clean, we couldn’t be happier!

Emma is the sweetest! I have a very high maintenance dog who takes time a while for him to warm up to most people. Her experience enabled her to build a quick rapport with my dog. She was also a great communicator . I would highly recommend Emma. I will be using her again.

About: Hi! We’re Sean & Michaela. We're a dependable, animal-loving couple with over five years of professional pet sitting and house sitting experience together, and a lifetime of hands-on pet care before that. Sean has 23 years of experience caring for animals. He grew up managing a family-owned pet store, working from the age of 6 through 17. That meant caring for dozens of animals daily: dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, small animals, fish, you name it! It wasn’t just stocking shelves; it was cleaning enclosures, administering medications, socializing animals safely, and helping customers care for their pets at home. Michaela has 21 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Like Sean, she was raised in a home filled with animals, five dogs and three cats total, and has been a lifelong animal lover. She also has hands-on experience caring for farm animals, adding to her well-rounded background. Together, we’ve cared for puppies, seniors, animals with anxiety or medical needs, and everything in between. We’ve built our lives around animals and treat each one like family. If you’re looking for experienced, trustworthy sitters who can keep your pets happy and your home spotless, we’d love to help. Pet care fits into our daily routine in a way that ensures your pets get plenty of love and attention, especially when it matters most: before and after work, overnight, and on weekends. Michaela works from about 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, and Sean works 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. We are home every evening, overnight, and early mornings, and we’re fully available on weekends. We make sure your pet is exercised and cared for before we leave for work and as soon as we get home. Your pets will always receive at least 2 walks per day, and more if needed. We’re flexible around your pet’s schedule and are happy to coordinate with a midday walker if necessary. Even with a full-time work schedule, our two-person team allows us to provide better-than-average coverage. We communicate clearly, stay on top of routines, and make sure your pets are comfortable, safe, and loved around the clock. We care for pets exclusively in their own homes, where they feel safest and most at ease. By keeping your pet in their familiar environment and following your established routines, we help reduce anxiety and maintain consistency while you're away. Every pet in our care receives dependable, loving attention and a customized routine based on your instructions. We provide at least two walks per day, consistent feeding and medication routines, and overnight presence so your pet is never alone at night. You’ll receive frequent photo and message updates to stay connected and reassured while you’re away. We also treat your home with the utmost respect, always leaving it cleaner than we found it. Sean is certified in first aid and CPR from his years as a lifeguard, and he brings extensive hands-on experience from managing a family-owned pet store where he cared for sick, injured, and rescue animals for over a decade. Together, we bring more than 40 years of combined pet care experience, and we treat every pet like they’re our own. Whether it’s a high-energy pup, a shy rescue, or a senior on a strict routine, we’re confident in our ability to keep your pets safe, happy, and well cared for.

I have open availability on the weekends and am available evenings ( 6pm-11pm ) as well as early mornings (6am-8am) during the week.

Feel free to send me a message to work out what is needed and I may be able to provide what you need 😊 Whether its a walk, drop in,or sitting,I'll make sure to give my full attention to your pet. I can make sure they are crated and comfortable if needed, or in their favorite spot if they're not crate trained.

About: After raising 5 children and my beautiful border collie passing i’m an empty nester and would love to care for precious pets again. I have had nine dogs and dozens of cats love each and every one of them as if they were my children. All incredibly obedient and loved dearly. I would love to care for yours as well.♥️ I am currently working part time and after 3 PM in the afternoon I would love to walk play and care for your precious pups !! I have a very clean home at the same time live right next to a wonderful neighborhood park and I’m a mile from Dog Beach. Plus I would consider housesitting with your pets. I have excellent references of background in interior design, staging and organizing so I’m very organized and clean! Therefore the designations for your pet would be followed perfectly!!💥

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of experience, compassion, and attention to detail. I treat every pet like family and take the time to learn their unique personality, routine, and needs—whether that’s a playful puppy who needs extra exercise and training reinforcement, or a senior dog who needs a slow, gentle pace. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including my own 11-year-old (separation anxiety-prone) German Shepherd raised from 8 weeks, and two regular house-sitting gigs with a chocolate lab puppy and two senior mixes. You can count on me to send consistent updates, photos, and to treat your home with respect. I’m here to make your time away stress-free—for both you and your pet! Specific skills: Puppy care: crate training, leash and walk work, potty breaks, and lots of positive reinforcement. Senior pets: mobility support, and providing a calm, comfortable environment. I’m currently working remotely, with hours from 7am-3pm Mon-Fri, meaning I can work remotely from your home (with reliable wifi), drop in for walks during my lunch break, or stop by any time after work! Weekends are open, as well. I am unable to offer pet-sitting within my own home, but have reliable transportation and flexible work, so I can come to you as needed!

Jabril was a most excellent caretaker for our fur babies. Highly recommend! Sophie, our big Catahoula mix, and Ollie our black cat, took to Jabril like family. I don't think they even missed us! Ollie hides for most visitors but was purring on Jabril's lap the first night. Jabril posted regular pictures and responded promptly to our texts; he followed our instructions to the "tee." Our house was in fine shape when we returned. If you need someone to house sit and watch your pets, Jabril is an excellent choice. Thanks!

About: This is a new profile in this app, and my rates are lower because I want to get more customers and reviews :) I grew up surrounded by loving animals — five dogs, two cats, horses, and bunnies were all part of my daily life. Pet care isn’t just a job for me; it’s second nature. I’ve developed a calm, confident energy that animals trust, and I treat every pet like family. Whether it's giving extra patience to puppies, gentle attention to seniors, or understanding each pet’s unique personality, I bring lifelong experience and genuine love to every visit. I am usually free after 5pm during weekdays, Friday's, Saturday's and Sunday's usually free most of the day and I love going to the dog beach if the owners allow it :) Pet care is my passion and love, helping other people with my skills is my life purpose. I care about my client's pets very much. I do my best to follow their instructions and listen to their needs. I am attentive to detail and very kind to animals. I love to make them happy and have a good time with them.

Miranda is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to ensure my cat, Binx, received all the care and attention he needed while I was away. Her natural connection with animals is clear—Binx instantly warmed up to her, which gave me so much peace of mind. Miranda's communication was exemplary; she kept me updated with regular pictures and videos, allowing me to see how well Binx was doing. She's someone you can truly rely on, and I fully trust her to care for my pet with the same love and dedication she gives to her own. I couldn’t recommend her more!

Ryan is kind and responsive. Our family is thankful for his consideration and follow thru with watching a younger dog and checking in on an elder and her pet!

Kristin was such a tremendous help while we were away. She was wonderful with photo and video updates, supplies lots of cuddles to our girls and even took them on daily 2-mile walks (quite the feat, if you knew the energy of our youngest). She left our house as she found it, and we will absolutely work with her again. I highly recommend Kristin, but hopefully not during the windows we have in mind for her care 😉😅

We had another great experience with Kimberly watching our dog Driggs! Kimberly is super communicative, sends tons of photos, and followed all of our instructions to a T! Kimberly even went above and beyond to work on some of the training methods Driggs learned during obedience class! We felt totally comfortable despite traveling internationally because we knew Driggs was in good hands. When we arrived home, the house was spotless and Kimberly had even started the laundry for us which was so appreciated. Thank you, Kimberly!

We couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible care Jess provided while we were out of town. She watched our 3.5-month-old puppy and two cats, and from start to finish, she was everything we could have hoped for—flexible, responsive, kind, knowledgeable, and responsible. She clearly loves animals and took the time to engage with each of them in ways that made them feel safe and happy. Our pets adored her! In addition to providing excellent care for our animals, she was respectful and attentive to our home, leaving everything in great condition. It was such a relief knowing everything was in such capable hands while we were away. We would absolutely work with her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and loving pet and house care.

Maeve took remarkable care of our dog. Great walks. Our dog is just past puppy stage and a bit rambunctious. Maeve also handled that well. Overall a great experience for us and our dog.

Liam took amazing care of our pup—truly everything you could hope for in a sitter! He was communicative, reliable, and incredibly attentive to our dog’s specific needs. Our dog is 10 years old and requires daily medication and a strict diet, and Liam handled it all with thoughtful care and consistency. Most importantly, it was clear he genuinely loves animals. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such good hands. Highly recommend!

Kylie was amazing with our dog! So sweet and sent loads of updates. Oscar normally goes on food strike when we leave, but he obviously felt very comfortable with her and even ate his food. Would highly recommend!

Emma is the sweetest! I have a very high maintenance dog who takes time a while for him to warm up to most people. Her experience enabled her to build a quick rapport with my dog. She was also a great communicator . I would highly recommend Emma. I will be using her again.

Molly was awesome! I have never left my 2 dogs with anyone …we always take them with us. So I was a bit nervous. Molly came over to meet the dogs and they fell in love with her immediately. She puts you at ease letting you know everything is great, they’re in good hands and she sent pictures almost daily! The dogs seemed very happy and not stressed at all. She went above and beyond

Anika was awesome! She took great care of our dogs and our home. She sent sweet pictures of the animals and had great communication about how things were going. She was also extremely flexible when some unexpected changes happened with our trip and helpful with additional requests that we had forgotten. We will definitely be using her again in the future!
