About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for over a decade. I am comfortable with all ages of animals and can administer medication, as needed. Comfortable walking a variety of sizes and ages with a collar or harness. Most of my dogsitting experience has been with senior dogs so I am happy to accommodate their special needs. I work full time but have a remote position, allowing for dog and cat sitting at guest’s house - and I’ll be home all day! I am also available for walks and drop ins. I will follow all instructions, as presented. Whatever your pet’s personal quirks may be, I’m ready to meet their needs. I am happy to maintain their normal routine.

Sarah has been a great addition to our home every time she watches our pup. We’ve used her many times, and trust her every time. She communicates great and treats our dog like her own. He is always happy when we get home!! Thankful for Sarah when she stays with our dog.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years and have experience pet sitting for multiple families, including drop-in visits and overnight care. I’ve cared for cats regularly over several years, watched dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I also volunteer through Doggy Day Out at the shelter, where I help walk and socialize dogs, and I grew up with a family dog, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience incorporating caregiving and pet care into my daily routine and enjoy creating consistent schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I am organized, dependable, and make it a priority to ensure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My schedule allows me to provide regular walks, check-ins, enrichment, and quality time, and I always work to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel at home. I spend a lot of time at home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and consistency throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, and receive plenty of attention, enrichment, playtime, and companionship. I prioritize safety by keeping doors and outdoor areas secure, being attentive during walks and potty breaks, and cleaning litter boxes as needed. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel informed, reassured, and connected while away.

Hannah was so great with Daisy! She followed all of the instructions we left and made sure to bond and make Daisy feel comfortable while my husband and I were gone all week on vacation. She provided us daily updates with pictures and was very communicative, which made it so much easier to be away from Daisy for a whole week. I would definitely recommend Hannah to anyone needing a gentle and attentive dog sitter!

Mackenna was amazing with my Australian Shepherd while I was on vacation. From the moment they met, he was totally at ease with her, which isn’t always the case with him. She sent me regular updates, which I really appreciated, and communication was super easy the whole time. Knowing he was in such good hands made it so much easier to actually relax and enjoy my trip. You can tell she genuinely cares, and that made all the difference. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust!

About: We work from home full-time, which means your pup will get lots of supervision, attention, companionship, and cuddles throughout the day instead of being left alone for long periods. Dogs staying with us typically get up to two walks a day, usually 1–2.5 mile walks at nearby trails. If your pup enjoys walks and adventures, they’re welcome to join! We also make sure dogs have plenty of supervised playtime, enrichment, rest, and individualized attention depending on their personality and energy level. We genuinely love pets and try to make them feel like part of the family while they’re here. Whether your dog is playful, cuddly, shy, energetic, or prefers a calmer environment, we do our best to adapt to their needs and routine. We're also happy to provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. We know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and we aim to create a safe, loving environment where both you and your pup feel comfortable. I have a flexible schedule to give your pets the love and attention they deserve! I take my dog on walks twice a day for 1-2.5 miles in the park and typically spend the rest of the day at home, treating your babies like my own. I have a fenced yard and live walking distance from a park with wooded trails. I have a friendly pup in my home who loves having friends to play with. I will care for your pets like my own!

I prioritize safety by following your home's security routines and staying vigilant during walks!

Megan was absolutely incredible & we couldn’t have asked for a better rover. Super sweet and extremely polite, prompt and professional. We had absolutely no concerns with her caring for our girl while we were away. She was in great hands with Megan! Megan kept us updated with photos and daily check ins. She also left our apartment absolutely spotless. Will absolutely be reaching back out in the future next time we’re in need of a Rover!

About: I've been taking care of pets for about 5 years, and have cared for pets of my family, friends of my parents, and others who have reached out to me! My time in the summer is super flexible, and I'm willing to meet all of your pets' needs! Throughout the summer, I work a part-time job with a flexible schedule. I put my availability in two-weeks in advance, but only work about 5 to 6 hour shifts when I am scheduled. During the academic year, I take 3 classes on top of working part-time, so my schedule is more limited, but I am still able to take off if alerted two weeks in advance! In the past, I have only cared for pets in the clients' homes. I can assure you that as someone who loves my own family pets, very direction about your pet will be followed, as any rules you might have about your house, since I understand these two things are incredibly important to everyone.

Maya was a wonderful dog sitter. I would not hesitate to use her again. Maya took the time to meet with me and my puppy prior to the scheduled dog sitting. It was clear immediately that she was loving, caring and an experienced dog sitter. I felt very comfortable leaving my puppy with Maya from the beginning. Maya took very good care of my puppy and played with her. Although my puppy was glad to see me, I could tell she had a really good time with Maya.

This was the second time Makenna has housesat for my dog. My girl is always happy and calm when I return home, which has not been the case with other sitters. Makenna is excellent at communicating and sending photos. She makes sure my girl gets lots of play and snuggles. Also, my house is always clean when I return. Poppy and I will definitely be relying on Makenna again!

Ashlyn was absolutely INCREDIBLE! I have a senior dog and a super energetic German Shepherd who requires a lot of attention and someone who can handle him with confidence and authority. I was SO impressed by her from the moment she walked in. She managed both of my dogs with so much love and care, perfectly tailored to each of their needs. I normally have a hard time leaving my dogs (as most pet owners do), but I didn’t have a single worry while I was gone. I knew they were in perfect hands. Ashlyn communicated consistently, sent daily recaps so I always knew how everyone was doing, was incredibly respectful of my home, and even took the time to read all the tips I left… and followed every one of them to a T! I will absolutely be using Ashlyn, and ONLY her, for any future care for my boys. THANK YOU!!!
