“Paz looked after our senior dog through a tornado warning and heat wave while we were traveling internationally. Paz went way, way above the call of duty by taking our girl to the vet when she started a hunger strike mid-way through the visit. The vet remarked that Paz was very knowledgable, attentive, and great with our girl. Paz has some sort of gift for getting animals to take medications - hopefully she'll offer a "how to" class at some point! And Paz stays in very frequent contact, sending updates and lots of photos. We are so very grateful for Paz!! She is caring, responsible, and very attentive. We cannot recommend her enough.”


“Kai and Devon were awesome! They were so kind and friendly and our dogs took to them immediately. We knew the dogs were well cared for because of constant communication and pictures. When we came home the house was way tidier than ever before and my husband was so shocked. It was a great surprise to come home to - a sparkling clean house after vacation. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again for our next vacation.”


“Deanna was great! Responsive and took great care of our house, puppy, and two cats while we truly got to enjoy our vacation. She went above and beyond with what we asked her to do and will absolutely use her again for our next trip!”



“Jessica was great! It was my first time using Rover app and having someone housesit and look after my dogs. I usually boarded my dogs, but due to them always getting sick from other dogs. I decided to try the Rover app. I was very unsure and nervous but she really provided me the peace of mind. She was highly responsive and communicated with me throughout the days and also sent pictures and updates on how the dogs were doing. I would highly recommend recommend her!”


“Maddie is an amazing dog walker and sitter! My dogs love her and she was always sending pictures of her and the doggies while we were out of town! We would definitely use her again.”



“Marisol is fantastic. Had a trip out of town for a night & she sent pictures of my two dogs keeping me in the loop with communication. Have a vacation coming up in the future and I’m utilizing her services again. Highly recommend.”


“Maia was fantastic! She is very professional and reliable, consistently communicates with updates as requested. She also stayed with our chihuahua for 11 days in the middle of nasty winter weather and handled any and all issues very well. The pup and our house were in perfect shape when we got home.”


“Lizzy was my first time having a sitter for my boys! She not only met but exceeded my expectations and couldn’t ask for anything more! Hope to have her watch my puppets in the future for sure! Thanks so much!”


About: I recently had to say goodbye to my own dog, who was my daily walking buddy and constant sidekick. Getting back to dog care is a way for me to stay connected to that part of my life. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and know how important it is to find someone you trust when you’re away. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from high-energy pups to older dogs who need a gentler pace. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medications, basic training reinforcement, or just giving your dog the attention they need while you’re out. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every dog like they’re my own. Whether it’s regular walks, check-ins, or some extra company for your pup while you’re gone, I’ve got it covered. I’m currently working part time from home as a consultant. So my schedule is very flexible. I can be available throughout the day as needed. I have a fenced yard and plenty of space for your pup to roam. I have a reliable car and am available to bring dogs to my house if needed.

“Kristen was really good with Haze. She gets lonely when we are away, so Kristen kept her company and made sure she got some good play time outside in our yard. We have had Kristen come for a drop in visit and a house stay and we recommend her to anyone looking for a great companion for their pup!”


“Amberleigh was very attentive to my cats and provided me with frequent updates throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind. She also voluntarily tidied up around my apartment including cleaning my hardwood floors and wiping surfaces. I highly recommend her!”


About: I have cared for all kinds of animals in my life, from Rabbits and Birds to Cats and Dogs. My family always had a number of pets for me to look after. I am an experienced dog walker who owns two energetic Labrador retrievers. I have also cared for my brother's dogs over the years, one of which was highly reactive. I do very well with big dogs 70+ lbs, as that is what I currently own but am more than capable with smaller breads as well. I have a full-time day job that keeps me busy, but I am looking to do some side jobs to reduce stress from my day job. I do have two dogs of my own who I care for, but this shouldn't deter me from being to help care for yours. As the owner of two high-energy dogs, I know when they need to be sent to their own corners after playing too hard. I have two large kennels on hand for timeouts if need be. I prefer to use a hands-free leash with a tragic handle on a walk for added support control on walks. I do not use retractable leashes as they are not recommended by trainers or vets.

“Christina was great with Chuck! He got so much love, care and attention. Chuck is sweet but also an energetic not fully trained nippy puppy, so not easy! Christina is reliable, caring and skilled at taking care of dogs and goes the extra mile to treat them like her own. He got plenty of love attention and exercise. We got cute pictures of him throughout the week. It was a nice bonus that she got our mail and packages, watched our house and left our house clean and tidy. I would recommend her to friends, neighbors and family that needs pet care.”


“Isabella is the best! She was able to stay overnight in my home with my very difficult dog who hates people. She has a lot of knowledge and is very smart about dogs. I was able to leave without worrying about my dog. Thank you Isabella!!”


About: I've been a dog lover my entire life and have owned 2 dogs. My current dog Norman is a rescue. I have experience in giving medications and working with senior dogs.
