Lillian did a great job for my cat. She uploaded a lot of videos while she was taking care of the cat. While my cat is shy and usually afraid of new people, he quickly got along with Lillian.

About: -USE CODE DENISL51179, https://www.rover.com/sit/denisl51179 TO SAVE $20 IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME USING ROVER!!!!- -Free pickup and drop off within 5 miles!!!!- -I also have my boyfriend Robert help with the feeding and walking of the dogs. If I have to leave or he has to leave the house then the other one is always home supervising the dogs.- I have grown up with dogs since I was a child. I would walk, feed, care for and play with them. If you give them love and attention, they are the happiest and most content. I now have my own 2 family members:Pepper and Piper. Pepper is a 13 year old German Shepherd and Piper is a 16 month old Pit Bull. I love dogs and am familiar with all aspects, be it pills giving, special diets etc. I currently work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I can watch your pets weekdays, weekends, overnight, basically anytime. If your pet needs special attention or a special diet I am more than capable to handle all their needs. I have a house and a fenced in backyard. I have a sliding door with a doggy friendly screen which I leave open in the summer and will allow them to go in and out as they choose. There is always fresh water from them to drink and lots of treats, if they are allowed them.

I can’t say enough great things about Ashley ! From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear how kind, reliable, and genuinely passionate she is about animals. She took the time to understand my dog’s personality, routine, and needs, which immediately put me at ease. While at work I received photos, and little notes that reassured me my dog was not only safe, but happy and well cared for. It truly felt like my dog was being treated like family, not just a booking. When I come home from work, my dog is relaxed, content, and clearly has formed a bond with Ashley - which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet ! If you’re looking for someone dependable, communicative, and full of love for your pet, I highly recommend Ashley !

About: I welcomed my greyhound mix 4 years ago, and my beagle this year. They are goofy, lovable, and high energy! I love being their mom and would love to help out with your angels too. I am currently between jobs and so I have loads of free time to devote to caring for your pets! I couldn’t think of a better use of my time. My dogs are crate trained, happy and healthy. I would work with you to ensure that we have a good level of trust and that I have a safe rapport with your pet.

About: Hi! I’m currently in my second semester of vet tech school and work part-time at a dog daycare/boarding facility.

Additionally, I have my Cat and Dog First Aid certification from the American Red Cross. I currently work 4-5 six hour shifts at a dog daycare are, so I have lots of time to drop in before/after work. My current classes are online, so my schedule is very flexible! I have experience pet sitting and walking dogs of various temperaments. My experience with working large groups of dogs and 1-on-1 makes me confident in my ability to keep all animals safe!

About: I have taken care of dogs since childhood (had 6 Golden Retrievers since 2002, now have a Bichon Frise). Your pet will feel at home playing with us and our friendly baby. We’re a loving, pet-friendly home where your furry family member will be treated like our own. I work as a part-time behavioral therapist, and my husband works from home two days a week, so there’s always someone around to give your pup plenty of attention, care, and affection. Caring for dogs truly comes naturally to us. Our new home offers a spacious backyard for playtime, along with nearby dog parks and a beautiful nature walking path—perfect for fresh air, exercise, and fun. Your dog will enjoy a safe, happy environment and feel like a part of our family during their stay. Note: Daycare hours are typically between 7 AM and 7 PM (or less). If you need care beyond these hours, please book a boarding request instead. Thank you! Your fur baby will be treated like family in our home! From cozy naps and meals to fun walks and playtime with our sweet pup Archie, I’ll ensure they feel safe, loved, and as close to home as possible while you’re away. My goal is to make their stay comforting, fun, and full of care until their favorite humans return!

About: I have taken care of my own dogs for 10 years, I have kept them healthy, clean and educated with their needs. I have also taken care of dogs for family members who trusted me. Encaja en mis días libres, de momento no puedo tenerlos en mi casa pero si puedo quedarme en la casa del dueño sin problema, siempre en coordinación. Preferiblemente en la casa del dueño, ya que actualmente no cuento con espacio en la mía. Además que el perro se sentirá más cómodo en la suya

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently care for three of my own, including two French Bulldogs and a senior Mini Schnauzer. I’m experienced with different temperaments, energy levels, and the extra care that senior dogs need. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and look after their pets, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I work during the week, but I’m available on weekends with plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. I can provide attentive care, playtime, walks, and a consistent routine to make sure your dog feels comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for multiple dogs at once and understand how to create a safe, calm environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special needs. I prioritize safety, comfort, and making sure your pet feels secure and well cared for at all times.

About: Hi all, I have cared for dogs all my life and I would love to care for yours! I have a masters in psychology and work remotely from home. In my career and personal life I have cared for children, survivors of abuse, and even worked for ASPCA at one point. I am a reliable, hard-working, and empathetic woman that will treat your dog with the same love, respect, and care as I do mine. My sweet King is 10 years old, full of life, and my world! We rescued him at 6 months old. He’s great with other dogs, so that’s no issue at all. I’m looking forward to hearing from you and meeting your pup! I work remotely, so I am flexible to what your needs are! I’m sure we can figure out a routine that works for both of us. :) I will care for your dog the same way I care for my own. I’m happy to modify anything to fit you and your dog’s needs. I don’t have children, so we are eager to dedicate all our time to caring for your dog!

About: Hi! I’m Sadi, and caring for dogs has always been a huge part of my life. I grew up in a home with multiple dogs, so I’ve been around them since I was little and understand their behavior, needs, and personalities very naturally. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from small breeds like Chihuahuas and Yorkies to larger dogs like Boxers. I also have long-term experience dog sitting for families, which has helped me build strong, trusting relationships with both pets and owners. I’ve worked in a dog daycare environment as well, where I gained hands-on experience managing different personalities, energy levels, and behaviors. This taught me how to keep dogs safe, comfortable, and calm in different situations. I truly love being around dogs, it doesn’t feel like work to me. I’m very attentive, patient, and detail-oriented, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I also like to meet with owners beforehand whenever possible, so everyone feels comfortable and confident before any booking. I look forward to meeting you and your pup 🐾

I cannot recommend Maxibel enough! She has been absolutely amazing with my dog!! She is so kind, caring, and attentive. My dog genuinely gets excited to see her, which gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m away. She is always punctual, responsible, and incredibly reliable. One thing I especially appreciate is how consistent she is with updates and photos, which always reassures me that my dog is happy and well cared for. It’s clear she truly loves what she does and treats every pet like her own. I’m so grateful we found her!

Erica is a devoted dog lover and sitter. From the very beginning (soon after my initial request) and all throughout her visits, she kept in regular contact and always communicated clearly and kindly. Our dog Ranger never had it so good. She kept us updated with photos of his activities and the love and care she provided. We'll definitely have her back. She has our highest recommendation!

Truly professional! Anastasiia and Ivan are absolutely amazing at what they do. This was my first time leaving Bella for longer than usual, and I’ll admit I was a bit nervous about having her stay at home with people she didn’t know. But after seeing their incredible reviews, I decided to trust them — and I’m so glad I did. They exceeded every expectation. They were detailed, followed all instructions perfectly, and most importantly, their communication was outstanding. They kept me updated on everything and always asked questions before making any decisions. They made me feel completely comfortable, and Bella was genuinely happy with them. One moment that really stood out: on their first day, after we had already left, Bella was feeling uneasy when they walked in. Ivan sat on the floor near her and patiently waited for her to approach him, creating a calm and safe environment for her. That level of care and understanding meant so much. They showed real affection and truly cared about Bella’s wellbeing. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional sitters for their furry family members.

While I was away, Tania took amazing care of my Doberman and Chihuahua. She was incredibly informative, kept me in the loop the entire time, and made being away from my dogs so much easier. She sent updates with pictures and videos, which was not only helpful but also super cute and reassuring.Both of my dogs were comfortable and clearly well cared for I could tell they were happy and relaxed with her. Tania treated them like her own and handled them with so much patience and love. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be reaching out to her again!

We had the pleasure of having Melissa care for our miniature poodle, Sabana, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She was attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring throughout the entire time. Melissa listened to all of our personal requests and followed through on them perfectly—from playtime to potty breaks and everything in between. It was clear that she treated our puppy as if she were her own, and we truly appreciated her going above and beyond to ensure our pup felt comfortable, safe, and happy during her drop-ins. We would absolutely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Don’t hesitate to request her—you’ll be glad you did!
