About: I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family — with patience, consistency, and genuine love. I don’t just “watch” dogs; I connect with them. Whether it’s a playful pup full of energy or a senior dog needing a calm, gentle touch, I adapt to each pet’s personality and needs. I have experience caring for kittens, senior cats, and sphynx breeds (yes, I know how much love and maintenance they need 🐾). I keep things clean, calm, and consistent — following your exact feeding and litter routines, giving meds if needed, and keeping their favorite spots cozy and familiar. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and cozy space with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention. I make sure feeding, potty breaks, and walks happen on schedule, and I always keep an eye on hydration, mood, and comfort.
“10/10!! This was our first time leaving our dog overnight with someone other than family and by the end of our trip, Karen and Chris felt like family! We are so grateful for finding them through Rover. We looked forward to every message/update Karen sent (many times a day), simply the best! It was nice to get away for a couple nights and know our four-legged child was in great care. Thank you!!”
“My Sunny loves Stephanie. She takes care of Sunny as if Sunny were her own. She sends me updates and pictures and follows the instructions and routine I gave to her.”
“Kim is awesome! She sent us pics on a regular basis, which squashed my worries about leaving my boy Jack behind. He had such a blast for the week we were away, he didn't want to come home. Highly recommend Kim.”
“Olivia was fantastic. While we were gone we had a record breaking snow storm . She sent me a picture of Miska with her own outdoor path. I felt confident that she was well cared for. She went above and beyond to accommodate our late return home.”
About: I was raised with dogs all my life and frequently take care of my friends dogs while they are away. I understand the body language of dogs and what they are trying to express without really expressing it . I love dogs and would be happy to take care of yours with love while you are away and send you videos and pictures and even face time if you need too ! I believe that dogs have feeling and miss you just as much as you miss them ! I can provide a safe and happy place while you are not around to take care of your puppy and I promise they will be happy and safe and loved. I will be a good puppy nanny to you loved one! I am my own boss so I make my own schedule . I can stay home and work , I can come home and walk your dogs randomly all day . I have a fenced in yard and a large fenced in field near me . I am also close to the beach and can take them for a beach walk . I love throwing a ball or snuggling whatever your pet needs .
“Alexandra J. was an exceptional boarder for my very active Boxer Ghost. She was responsive to inquiries and booking, was flexible with scheduling and with accommodating Ghost's specific food requirements. Very importantly her dogs and other boarders provided my very active girl with plenty of exercise. And also importantly, she sent photos and videos of Ghost over the week that I was gone. I would recommend her highly. Judy”
About: I have over 12 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, including large dogs up to 115 pounds. I’ve owned and raised dogs from the puppy stage through their senior years, so I understand how different their needs can be at every stage of life. I have experience with puppy training, reinforcing basic commands, crate routines, frequent potty breaks, high-energy dogs, and keeping younger dogs entertained and active. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, more frequent breaks, or simply some extra love and attention. What sets me apart is the amount of individual attention I’m able to provide. I work remotely with a very flexible schedule, so I’m home almost all day and can adjust my routine around your dog’s normal schedule. For boarding, I only take one family’s dog(s) at a time, so your dog won’t be in a house full of unfamiliar animals competing for attention. My home is also pet-free, child-free, and non-smoking, giving your dog a calm and comfortable place to stay. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual feeding, walking, sleeping, training, and crate routines so their stay feels as close to home as possible. And yes, dogs are welcome on the furniture here! 🐶❤️ I work remotely in marketing with a very flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. I’m home almost 24/7, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My schedule can easily be adjusted around each pet’s normal routine and individual needs. Whether your pet is used to early morning walks, specific feeding times, frequent puppy potty breaks, or just lots of companionship throughout the day, I’m happy to accommodate their schedule as closely as possible. My availability is very open, including weekdays and weekends! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. In my home, it’s just my partner and me with no children or pets of our own, so your pet will have a calm, spacious environment. I only board one family’s pet(s) at a time so I can focus on their needs and help them feel comfortable and at home. My yard is unfenced, so dogs will always be leashed and supervised when outside. Inside, pets are welcome to get comfortable and are allowed on the furniture unless you prefer otherwise. I’m also familiar with crates and happy to follow your pet’s normal crate, feeding, walking, sleeping, and potty routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both your pet’s routine and your space. I’ll follow all instructions closely, make sure doors and entrances are secure, keep dogs leashed during walks, and give you updates so you know how your pet is doing. I’m happy to discuss any special instructions, behaviors, or safety concerns beforehand so I can provide care that is tailored to your pet.
“Kelly was very responsive and accommodating to us when we needed to book a last minute stay for our pup Holly! Holly was taken care of very well and had a great time! We will definitely use again in the future!”
About: I have always loved dogs. I am the one my friends always relied on to watch their dog when they went away. I can’t inagine a world without dogs. I have a huge english black lab and a small terrier. I get along with all dogs big amd small. I have references. I am reliable and experienced. I would do anything to make sure your dog is safe and happy. Dog kisses are the best. I have great instincts with dogs and am not afraid of any dog. Respect and empathy is what I am about when it comes to animals and humans. I look forward to meeting you and your dog. The famiky member that you cherish. Thank you very much. See you soon. I work at an elementary school so I can watch fur babies evenings and weekends and holidays. Summers are totally open for any play dates. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run around with my German Shephard who loves to play and make new friends.
About: I’ve taken care of puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between. My family always had dogs when I was growing up, and I currently have a 1 year old bulldog! I work from home 3 days a week and I’m in the office 2 days a week. I am usually home most weekends as well. I live in a condo complex, my building is very far off the street. I have a 1 year old English/French Bulldog mix to keep your furry friend company, and a back deck with a big back yard for them to run around and play in.
About: I've got a Labrador retriever that wants to be everybody's friend and kids that love pets. I typically work-from-home throughout the week. I enjoy being active, so doggie time outside (walking in our neighborhood, hiking our local trails, or playing fetch outside) is right up my alley! Our cat passed away in 2024, but I'm keeping him on my profile so he will live on! :) I typically work from home and start a pet care routine for our pets in the morning and throughout the day. We're in a friendly neighborhood with many dog owners and a safe place for walking dogs. There are also some trails within driving distance. Our dog gets play time outside either by playing fetch or with a walk, and of course lots of love from the kids. I have a long lead that allows dogs to play in the front/back yard safely. Any dog's time outside is supervised to make sure they are not eating anything they shouldn't and getting the play time they need. A crate in the home is available.
“Jasmine is a phenomenal dog sitter! I left my pup with her for three nights and he had the best time. I got loads of pics and videos of him and she was super communicative throughout. Will use her any time I’m in the area :)”
About: I love spending time outdoors with my pets— I have a trained hunting lab and a Siberian calico cat. Over the years I’ve boarded friends and families dogs at my house. We have 7 acres of land + 100 acres of land trust hiking trails abutting us that we have spent a lot of time walking with dogs. I am currently working from home as a freelance designer so I’m very flexible on accommodating your pup! I am available most weekdays and weekends In my home, I’ll provide a loving, safe environment for dogs, prioritizing their well-being with consistent care and attention. Trust is built through positive reinforcement, ensuring each dog feels secure and valued. I have ample land available for daily walks and exercise, giving them the freedom to explore and stay active. I’ll create a routine that balances playtime, training, and rest, fostering a sense of belonging and safety.

Tina and her family are fabulous. We trust them completely with taking wonderful care of our dear Barry.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks.
