“Craig took care of our 4 dogs in our home for several days. Craig took great care of our babies while we were gone. We received pictures and feedback and he took great care with our home as well! Highly recommend Craig and would use him again!”
About: I have had dogs of my own since I was a child. I have been involved in fostering for local rescues & shelters for 5 years I have co-ran my own 501c3 rescue for almost 3 years I do work full time, so I am gone Monday- Friday from roughly 7A.M until 6 P.M. (depending on how far you are from my job). I drive Uber on the weekends during the summer months, but those hours are flexible & can vary based on your pet's needs. I have a fenced yard, but I have 3 senior dogs of my own and because of running the rescue, I usually have a foster dog as well so taking a dog into my home would be more challenging, but if I were to drop in or stay at your home, your dog(s) would get all of the one on one attention &time that they require
“Alyssa was a great sitter! You can tell how much she loves animals! Excellent communication and photo updates. The house was spotless when we got home. Would definitely book again! Thank you!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Tawny! She went above and beyond while caring for my dogs and home. Taking care of multiple large-breed dogs is no small task, but she handled everything with professionalism, patience, and so much love. My dogs were happy, well-cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. Not only did she ensure their routines were followed perfectly—including feeding, exercise, and playtime—but she also took the time to give them the extra attention and affection they need. She kept me updated with messages, pictures, and videos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. On top of caring for my dogs, Tawny also looked after my home as if it were her own. Everything was spotless when I returned, and I could tell she had gone the extra mile to keep things in order. If you’re looking for a responsible, kind, and truly dedicated pet sitter, I wholeheartedly recommend Tawny. She is a gem, and I will absolutely be booking her again in the future!”
“Victoria was great! She stayed at my house to care for my pup and sent photos and video. The house was just as I left it and my pup was well Cared for while I was away! I will definitely use Victoria in the future 😃”
About: Hi, I'm Christa the pet nanny. I have always had a strong bond with animals as Iong as I can remember. I have enjoyed taking care of animals at all life stages including my own rescue animals. My family friends and neighbors have always trusted and relied on me to take care of their pets like I do my own. I'm looking forward to doing the same for you. I am a stay at home mom to older children. I have a lot of free time that I would love to fill by taking care of your pet. I take care of all the animals I look after with the mind set that every animals needs are unique. So I conform to each individual pet and their needs to give the love and attention that they require. I don't have a one plan fits all approach.
About: I am a HUGE animal enthusiast and have been taking care of a multitude of pets since I was young. I recently relocated back to the Beach and am building my family, the fur bebe’s included! I have all my love and care to give to yours when you aren't there and give you some peace of mind to go about your day! I believe being around pets is good for the soul so it is my top priority and pleasure to attend to your fur babies. I have taken a sabbatical from work to help my elderly mother after my fathers passing, which means I’m available any time, any day to help your pets stretch their furry legs, enjoy snuggles, and snack on some goodies :) I treat your home as if it is my own. I make sure before I arrive to thoroughly touch base with you regarding your routine to not disturb you pet's natural environment. I always double check to make sure your home left as it was found, with refreshed water and food (if applicable) ready to go along with any favorite toys or beds. I am extremely cautious about opening/closing doors, as well as securing collars/harnesses/leashes completely.
About: My family and I are Christians. I was making plans to get my son a dog once he started working this summer. His big sister, who is now 20, worked at Ripleys Aquarium before she joined the Airforce a year ago. He wants a job there this summer just so he can learn more about animals. He is a natural around dogs and other animals. He is an honor role student who wants to be a vet one day. While I was out walking in my neighborhood, I ran into a sweet lady who told us about Rover.com. I thought how perfect is that. We get the love and warmth of a dog, and I will be able to teach my beloved son about responsibility and helping others. Your dog will get the love and care that you would expect and will be completely safe with us. The last dog I owned was a Staffordshire Terrier. We loved him. His resting place is in my home Bermuda.
“Katelyn did a fantastic job with my dogs! I have Great Danes, not small & not easy, and they’re both medical cases as well. She was also incredibly flexible when we had to adjust on the fly to accommodate one of my dogs comfort. Thank you!! I will definitely be using Katelyn again!!”

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart. As a retired mom with decades of caregiving experience, I bring patience, calm energy, and a deep sense of responsibility to every pet I care for. What sets me apart is the time and attention I offer. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, a stroll around the block, or following a detailed routine, I treat every pet like part of the family. I believe in clear communication, a clean and safe environment, and creating a low-stress experience for both you and your pet. While you’re relaxing at the beach, you can rest easy knowing your pet is in loving, experienced hands. Animals have always been a joyful part of my life, and caring for them fits naturally into my daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, mealtime, or playtime in the afternoon, I structure my day to ensure pets get plenty of love, attention, and exercise. I’m retired, so I have the flexibility to give your pet the time and care they deserve—without juggling a busy work schedule. Every day includes cuddles, check-ins, and keeping things calm and consistent to help pets feel safe and happy. Safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home, pets are treated like family—with a cozy, clean environment where they have room to relax, play, and feel secure. I make sure all areas are pet-safe and free from hazards, and I follow any routines, dietary needs, or medications just as you would at home. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your instructions carefully—from feeding times to walk schedules and any special care your pet needs. I always aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal and comforting as possible, so they feel loved and cared for even while you’re away.

“Ruth is absolutely wonderful! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease leaving our dog in her care. She’s warm, attentive, and clearly has a natural way with animals. Our pup can be a little shy at first, but Ruth was patient and gentle, and by the end of the first visit, he didn’t want to leave her side! She provided updates, photos, and thoughtful check-ins, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’ve used her countless times now and consider her part of our extended family. Highly recommend!”
