“Duane took such good care of my adult (6yo) mini poodle. Although it was only one night that my dog stayed with him, I could clearly see that she became a good friend of him and when I went to pick her up after the stay.”

“I returned to a very happy dog after a stay with Jesus. Jesus was very easy to work with, and anytime I need a sitter, I’ll be calling Jesus for sure! From the beginning, Jesus was very responsive. I could tell from our first interaction that he loved animals, and my baby would be safe with him. As it was my first time using a sitter, I was so pleased that Jesus keep me so updated throughout her stay. He sent me pictures and videos every day. I would highly recommend Jesus for your dog sitting needs!”

“This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.”
“Bridget and her mom were so kind and loving to my puppy! They played with him, fed him on time, even took him on long walks! My puppy had such a great time there! Thank you so much, you are awesome people!”
“Tonisa was great!! We did a meet and greet first. She was accommodating of any special needs and took care of Rocky like her own! Great with pictures and videos too! Rocky will be back to see Ava, his new friend.”


“5 stars as always. They take great care of Charlie while we’re out of town, keep us updated, and are super flexible. Charlie loves the whole family and feels right at home. Thank you so much!”

“Curly loved his stay with Emma & Timothy. It was a last minute reservation so I was grateful to have such accommodating hosts. Communication was awesome. 5/5.”


“Eleanor took wonderful care of our Samoyed pups while we were away for Spring Break. She was very communicative and professional, but also being warm and affectionate with our dogs, who were happy, well-behaved and healthy when we picked them up.”

About: Hi guys! Owner of "I Hope My Cat Doesn't Get Jealous " LLC I have own several pets; throughout the years. One of the best feelings as a pet owner/sitter is knowing you are making a difference in that pet's day. Just to see them all happy,relaxed or just fed; gives me a humble satisfaction. I will be there every step of the way for your pets' needs; making sure your pet likes me and is comfortable with me.But don't take my word for it, you will see it through your pets behavior towards me. I have 4 cats that are dog friendly. They really love playing with small dogs. Finally, hope you and your pet(s) have a very bless day. I'm a full time pet sitter, I do walks during the day and house sitting or boarding afterwards. I try my best to fit your fur baby into my schedule. Meet & greets are mandatory for me. That way you can see and decide more throughly if I'm the right pet sitter for you and if your fur baby is comfortable with me.
“Laura took the best care of our 2 small dogs! She was flexible with our drop off /pick up times and sent pics each day. We asked her to keep an extra eye on our tiny escaping puppy, and Laura took extra care with the leash and yard. So comforting to leave the pups knowing they have company and watchful care!”

“She was AWESOME to work with! Communities consistently. Sent pictures, vids & updates. Provided my dog a clean, safe place to be, play and sleep. She LISTENED to the details about Taji and acted accordingly. I wlll definitely use her again and HIGHLY RECOMMEND her based on the services we received.”

“Kamiah and Casius were great sitters for Bailey. For me, it was a very last minute booking and Kamiah was incredibly accommodating to make it work. She was also very quick to contact us on the first day when Bailey wasn't eating (but everything was fine, as this is how Bailey always is at a new place), and Bailey looked very happy in the photos and videos we got each day. Also, Kamiah's pick-up and drop-off were prompt and efficient. I definitely plan to use them again!”

“Shani (and her kiddos☺️) LOVED on my pup while I was away. Shani was an excellent communicator and sent update photos and videos, too. I really appreciated such good communication and how well Lady was taken care of. When you see your dog smiling in the update photos, you know it’s real. I’ll be looking to book Shani for my next trip away.”

“Mariel was great and gave me updates on my dog, who can be easily excitable, in a timely manner. I don’t leave her very often if at all, so it was nice to have a trustworthy person looking after her.”

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for a wide variety of pets, I’m confident handling different temperaments and routines. I enjoy building trust with each animal and tailoring care to their individual personality. We lost our beloved boxer Duke on Black Friday 2025 after a bout with an aggressive lymphoma. I miss having our buddy around, but I'm not ready to own another dog yet. I need some time to heal. I figured I would bridge the gap, by walking and watching other people's pups. I currently work part-time, which allows me to offer a flexible schedule and dependable availability for walks and drop-ins, including daytime visits and occasional last-minute needs. For walks and drop-ins, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. During visits, I provide fresh water, feeding if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and attention based on your pet’s personality and energy level. On walks, I prioritize safety, consistent pacing, and giving your dog a chance to enjoy exercise and stimulation. I also make sure your home is secure before leaving and will provide updates so you know how your pet is doing.
Gary pet parents share their Rover experiences
Niyah did an amazing job taking care of my puppy! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, which gave me so much peace of mind. She provided updates, was attentive, and clearly cared for my pup as if she were her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring.
