“My two dogs seemed to adjust easily to my two day absence. They were relaxed when I got home. I am confident to leave my dogs under Emily’s care. I like receiving the check-in times and photos!”
“Definitely recommend! My dog was happy when I got home after a visit with Patricia. She answered last minute request and I’m so grateful she did! Will be booking again with her 😄”
“Shakoya has now watched my cats 3 times and each time I feel so confident that they will be well loved and taken care of. She is very attentive, a great communicator, and even cleaned up a broken vase that my cats got into! I cannot recommend her enough!! Thank you, Shakoya (:”
“I have used Teresa’s services at 3 times. She is amazing and has definitely exceeds expectations. She noticed and turned my water hose off after I left it running for a whole day 🤦🏽♀️. She also has returned when my cat got out of the house and didn’t return during her scheduled time. She’s really the only person I have experience with on this platform. Thankful she has been available when I need a sitter for my 2 cats.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Arrell! He provided amazing drop in care for my dogs and treated them like his own. I received regular updates, photos, and could tell my pups were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away. It gave me such peace of mind knowing someone so reliable and kind was checking in on them. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!”

“Diamond was super helpful with our Shiba Inu when we had to go out of town unexpectedly. She sent us plenty of pictures, left detailed notes, and even swept up some of the dog hair before leaving our home. I’d definitely book Diamond again!”

About: I am a pediatric occupational therapist looking to save extra money on the side to help pay for loans. I'm friendly, outgoing, and generally reply quickly to texts (unless I am at work). I am great with communication and will give you updates on your pets when you want. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. The dog sitting experience I have is from whenever neighbors, family, or friends needed someone to watch their pup, plus any experience gained through this app. I love dogs of all sizes and love to play with them. I am willing to walk your dogs so long as you ask me to and I know that they are good enough on the leash for me to handle. **Rules** I will follow all of the rules that you set , and I will leave your home just as you left it. Currently available throughout the weekends, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with a preference to stop by during early parts of the day. I work from 9am-7pm. Your pet will be treated with respect, affection, and attention. Any rules you have you can communicate for me to follow. Cleanly living with minimal presence.
“Sharon did a great job with my very shy, timid cat Sara. Sara greeted me immediately. Usually she sulks and continues to hide. Not this time! Thank you Sharon!”
About: My family has had dogs since I was 10 years old. I was also previously a nanny to a family who had dogs, so I took care of them daily, and frequently sat for them when the family was away, as well as watched many family members dogs. Being a dog mom myself, I realize how important it is to have your dog be taken care of and treated like one of the family, and to be given all of the love you would give them yourself! I am a stay at home mom, with both of my kids in school during the day, so I have a lot of time to give your doggy lots of attention! We have a huge fenced in yard that is bigger than a lot of dog parks, so your dog will have all the space they need to run laps (and two boys who will happily accompany them in doing so!). With me being home during the day, your dog will have the freedom to come in and out of the house at their own leisure! Plus I live in a great neighborhood that is perfect for multiple walks a day. I am happy to meet up before your dogs stay so you can see the space! Plus, since I already have a dog, my house is very dog-friendly (ie we keep doors shut so they can’t get into the bathroom, & we keep all shoes and other tempting chewy objects out of reach!) & we have a gate up so the dogs can’t wander about upstairs to get into trouble or out the front door! Our dog is a spoiled princess (she believes she is just one of us humans!) & has plenty of toys and treats & beds to share! After we got our dog and started needing sitters for her when we would go away, I realized how hard it was to find someone with a house/yard where my dog could feel comfortable/at home, and so I wanted to be able to provide that space for other pet owners! (As well as the added fact that if you have a social dog, they would have their own little friend to play with!)
About: With 30 years of pet care experience, I bring tons of positive energy, playtime, and love to every pet I meet! Whether it's energetic puppies who need to burn off energy or seniors who need a little extra TLC, I'm here to keep tails wagging and spirits high. I’m great with routines, giving medication if needed, and making sure every day is full of snuggles, games, and happy moments. Your pet will have so much fun, they might not even notice you’re gone! I'm retired, so caring for pets fits perfectly into my daily life! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give each pet plenty of attention, exercise, and love throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon playtime, or evening snuggles, I can easily match your pet’s routine. Pet care isn’t just a job for me — it’s something I truly enjoy every day! In my home or yours, pets are treated like family! I provide a safe, cozy environment with lots of playtime, cuddles, and attention. I stick to their normal feeding, walking, and sleeping routines to help them feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions carefully to keep their pet’s routine consistent. Whether at my home or yours, I make sure each pet feels loved, safe, and happy every step of the way!
“My pup was well taken care of due to this drop in! This was my first time using this app and of course it somehow had my old address. Once I realized the mishap Joshua was already at my old apartment but had no issue driving to the new location! So grateful! I had put in a request on such short notice & they picked it up with no problem! Great service and response time 😊”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dog breeds since I was 16, I have experience with training puppies as well as working with older dogs and disabled ones as well. And I would love to care for yours! I currently work early mornings from 4:30am to around 11am, Monday through Friday but besides that I have open availability the rest of those days. I have an open place for your animals to walk with me as well as a friendly furry friend named Phoebe to keep yours company. If them staying with me is not what you want when it is just me one on one with your babies I pay extensive attention to their needs to make sure they are happy and healthy when you are not there.
“We cannot recommend Hilary highly enough! She has been taking care of our two cats while we’re out of town, and she truly is the best. Her attention to detail and genuine care for our pets put our minds at ease every time we leave. She’s not only incredibly reliable but also goes above and beyond, keeping us updated with messages and pictures so we know our fur babies are happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found someone who treats our cats as if they were her own. Thank you, Hilary for the amazing work you do!”
About: I have been the certified dog aunt for all my friends for years. Almost 4 years ago I got my first dog and have added another one to our family! I currently work from home with a flexible setting for dog walking and drop ins. I also am willing to host for boarding when available. I have some slight allergies so restricting overnight stays to low to non shedding dogs. I have a fenced in yard with 2 friendly dogs who love friends and playing! They came wait to meet your pups. For drop in or walks I will treat the dogs and your home like my own.
“Christina will go above and beyond for your pets!! Our cats, one of which is usually skittish, warm right up to her and are so excited when she comes to check on them. She also is respectful of our house, even brought one of my packages in one day when she did a drop in visit! Cannot recommend her more.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Amy didn't disappoint! She made me feel at ease being away from my pups, knowing they were in great hands when she was around. Will definitely be requesting her services for next time and I would 100% recommend!”

Sapphire W.
“If you’re looking for someone truly special to care for your pets, look no further than Sapphire. As Sapphire’s best friend, I’ve had the privilege of seeing firsthand just how deeply she cares for animals—and trust me, your pets couldn’t be in better hands. Sapphire is the kind of person who lights up when she sees a dog across the street and will happily pause to give every cat a moment of affection. She’s patient, attentive, and incredibly responsible—always showing up on time and never cutting corners, even when no one’s watching. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll with a senior pup or energetic playtime with a rambunctious puppy, Sapphire always tailors her care to what each pet needs. She has a natural intuition when it comes to animals, quickly picking up on moods and behaviors, and she treats every pet like family. I’ve watched her gently comfort anxious pets, celebrate milestones like a pet’s “gotcha day,” and go out of her way to make furry friends feel safe, happy, and loved. If you want peace of mind, regular updates, and someone who’ll treat your pet like her own, Sapphire is the perfect choice. You and your fur babies will be so lucky to have her!”

“Chelsea is a dedicated dog mom who takes great care of her own fur babies and other people’s.

Chelsea easily adapts to a dog’s personality, whether they like long walks or cuddling. Chelsea is very professional, on time, and offers great communication.”

Thank you so much, Michelle, for taking such good care of my kitties while I was away. I felt very calm since Michelle sent me daily photos of them, and I could see that they were fine. She was very respectful and loving toward them; my pets were very happy to receive her visit. Michelle is a very attentive and kind person. I am very grateful.
Katera was so accommodating for our diabetic kitty. We had some last minute schedule changes happen and she was so flexible to help us feel good about leaving. Our cat loved her visits and we truly appreciate being able to have peace of mind while we were away. Thank you, Katera!

Lauren was fantastic! I got consistent updates, she did everything my babies needed that I requested and more. It was a last minute request just days before I had to leave and I was so thankful that she not only accepted but she was also amazing. She’s clearly an animal lover! Would absolutely book with her again!
Jordan exceeded all expectations. From the photos she sent, we could tell that Shakira was taken care of very well and was a happy girl! She (Jordan) communicated daily with texts and videos. We were thrilled that we found Jordan. Shakira is too! We will most certainly use her again in the future! Thank you , Jordan!
Haley was awesome! She did a fantastic job with our rabbits, and sent great updates with pictures of how they were doing while we were traveling. It was a massive relief to know that we had a reliable caretaker for our pets while we were away. Thank you so much Haley!
Katrina was great with my baby, Ginger!!! She did not just give her basic care... she spoiled her like she was her own. She was really kind and sent me pictures during her visit and I could tell she was in good hands. Ginger will definitely be back soon! Thanks Katrina!
