“Great communication. We had a dialogue about what our dogs prefer. They came through for us in an emergency situation on short notice too and we couldnt be happier with their help. After they sent us the photos of our happy pups playing in the yard.”

“Annie was fantastic - responsive and ensured Maeve was doing well while I was away. She even got her to come out of hiding daily - not something everyone has been able to do!”


“I’m so glad we booked Sarah to watch our two cats while we were traveling for a week! It’s clear she loves animals, and she really went above and beyond in caring for ours. Communication was always super quick, she followed all the care instructions, and sent cute rover cards with lots of pictures. She even wrote a card and drew little pictures of our kitties, was very cute to come home to. We will definitely book Sarah to look after our kitties next time we go out of town!”

“Courtney was great! She was responsive and we knew our cats were in great hands while we were away. Really appreciated the meet up before confirming her visits. Would definitely ask for her help again in the future and highly recommend!”

“Abbey was so great to work with. We had a few hiccups (all on my end!) and she patiently worked through them and was very flexible. Would highly recommend!!”

“Jackson was great! He showed up on time each day for a week, which was truly appreciated as I booked last minute. He updated me with a few pics and additional detail beyond the basic report card. For example, he checked in via message on day 1 to confirm my dog's mood and poop quality were as expected. My little buddy has some separation anxiety that sometimes causes runny stools and submissive posture. By day 2 my dog was already adjusted and he looked comfortable in the rest of the photos that Jackson sent throughout the week. Recommend 💯!”

“Ellen was great with our cats. She was super responsive, accommodating, and our cats immediately seemed to like her! Loved the pictures of our cats during our time away, and will definitely book with Ellen again next time we are out”

“I really appreciated how thorough Allison was in her communication with us prior to the drop-in visit and also the note that she provided afterwards. I will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Sally was fantastic! She took great care of our dogs during her drop-in visits and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we always appreciated the updates and photos she sent after each visit. We wouldn't hesitate to book Sally again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Sally!”

About: I’ve taken care of and owned dogs since ever since I can remember! I have included a picture of me and the dog that my family adopted when I was 1. We grew up together 🥲 ❤️ Nowadays I have a rescue dog and she is my baby! I also have a lot of experience with dog sitting, dog walking groups of dogs, and taking care of dogs belonging to family, coworkers and friends. I have done a lot of research on dog behavior and body language - dogs communicate with us constantly and we can live happier lives with them if we take the time to learn their language! I want your pet to be well taken care of but also have their boundaries respected and to be loved the way they feel most comfortable with! No two dogs are exactly alike and they have different wants and needs, just like people. 🥰 I also have experience with training dogs. Let me know if you would like me to support you in training or socializing your dog. Lastly, I’ve worked with dogs with high anxiety. With these dogs, it’s important to take things slow , boosting confidence by letting them lead at their own pace and helping to make them feel as secure as possible I work a 9-5 with most holidays and weekends off. If your pup does well alone for a while during the day we would make a great fit with walks and feedings in the morning and evening. If you need care over a holiday or weekend, I have flexibility to take care of dog friends that need less time alone. I have a resident dog who is a sweetheart and gentle girl who can keep your dog company. I will also be able to safely take your dogs on walks, to the park, and crate them while I’m away and at night as needed or if preferred. I can also administer medication, and feed separately from other dogs if your dog is food-reactive. We will always put safety first in every situation of play, rest, feeding, socialization etc.
About: I’m an experienced pet lover with a deep passion for dogs! I’ve cared for four pups of different sizes and breeds, and I can’t wait to help yours feel loved and happy. Whether it's walking, playing, or feeding, I’m here to give your dog the best care. I love to run so Im also available to take your dog for a run. I’m available most evenings from 5 pm onwards due to my full-time job. I’m flexible and happy to work around your needs for a stress-free experience. When taking care of your pet at home, I ensure they’re safe, comfortable, and engaged. I follow your instructions closely, offering playtime, feeding, and attention.

About: I have had a dog (yellow lab) since I was in sixth grade, and I have taken care of coworker’s pets on occasion. I now have a rescue pitbull I love dearly. I can walk and play and sit with your pet to make sure they feel loved and have fun. I am currently out of school for the summer and I have a very flexible schedule, and I would love to come hang out with your pets! I like to hang out with animals and make them feel comfortable; I have a nice large fenced in backyard, and I have a car that I can take your pet in, if they like going in the car. I am used to giving a dog two walks a day, in the morning and evening.
About: I became a dog mom in 2026 to my handsome boy Dice and quickly got involved with the rescue I adopted him from. Since then, I’ve fostered 20+ dogs and even foster failed with Ace! I love dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities and have experience with shy, fearful, excitable, reactive, and easygoing dogs. I’ve also completed four levels of obedience training with my dogs. My own dogs have taught me a lot about meeting dogs where they are. Dice is a senior gentleman who loves leisurely walks filled with sniffing and marking. Ace is my four-year-old shy boy who was very shut down and scared of everything when I got him. Watching his confidence grow has been incredibly rewarding—and today he’s a total love bug! I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality, learning their cues, and figuring out what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I’m available weekdays and have flexibility to tailor walks and visits to what your dog needs. Whether your pup wants a long walk, a run, a short potty break, or a leisurely sniff-and-explore adventure, I’m happy to follow their lead. I want walks to be enjoyable for your dog rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I’m doing Rover during a career transition because I can’t think of a better way to spend my weekdays than getting outside, getting some exercise, and hanging out with dogs! ❤️ Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m comfortable working with reactive dogs and will follow your guidance on how to reinforce their training and manage their triggers. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with special needs and will carefully follow any instructions, medications, routines, or other care requirements you provide. What you can expect from me: * 🐾 Plenty of attention, patience & affection * 🐾 Walks tailored to your dog’s needs and personality * 🐾 Respect for your dog’s routines and training * 🐾 A calm, thoughtful approach with nervous or reactive dogs * 🐾 Photos and updates after visits * 🐾 Someone who genuinely loves getting to know each dog After fostering 20+ dogs, I’ve learned that every dog communicates differently. I’ll take the time to understand your dog and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of many types of dogs for most of my life. My family, friends and neighbors have relied on me watching their pups while on vacation or even for a day! I love taking them on walks and bringing them to the dog parks. I’m very used to and love cuddly pups and pups that love to play! I am currently in college so I am unavailable until 1 pm every weekday, but my evenings and some weekends are open almost every week! I have an invisible fenced yard with 3 young pups who love to roam around and spend time in the yard, but we also have a leash put out just incase! I can easily wait outside with your pup while going potty, and easily put them in the crate if needed! My pups are allowed everywhere in the house, on furniture, sleep in beds, etc.

About: Hi, I’m Deanna! I’m a lifelong animal lover and 25+ year dog/cat mom. I have two friendly small dogs and two dog-friendly cats. I’ve fostered dogs and been dog sitting for friends & family for many years - I’ve even taken care of snakes and lizards! I have personal experience with senior dogs who might need an extra loving hand. I have a safe and secure fenced back yard to play and relax in. Contact me to set up a meet & greet or with questions you may have. I look forward to meeting you and your special pup! Please note: pick up is required by 6:00pm. I give my resident dogs two to three long walks every day, with frequent potty/yard breaks. I have pet beds in my home office while I work. I have a fenced in yard, several doggy beds, and animals are allowed on my furniture. My resident dogs are small and like to play (gently) and have lots of toys to share, or just enjoy cuddling with other frequent nappers. I have two crates on-site or you can bring your own!

My dog, Wink, is a deaf, one-eyed senior. Allison had no hesitation caring for a dog with special needs. She followed all directions related to his care and there was no disruption to his routine while I was gone. I would definitely hire Allison again in the future.

Sarah is great! Our kitty Artemis came right up to her during the meet and greet excited for pets, and was very happy to have her visit during our time away. Awesome communication and thorough notes from her stop. Would recommend Sarah and have already booked her again!!

Trinity has been helping us care for our puppy since he was nine weeks old. Our pup Cooper loves spending time with her, and she is helping us with training while she drops in. Trinity is great to work with and is always punctual. She does a great job with him, and he is exhausted by the end of the visits. We really appreciate her keeping us informed about what Cooper is up to and asking how to make the most of her visits.

When Billie takes care of my dog, she pays close attention to the skills he’s working on, and provides clear updates on how things went during their time together. She’s thoughtful about anticipating needs. For example, she prepared a Kong and left it in the freezer, so it would be ready for my dog to enjoy later. :)

Olivia was great! She was responsive in communications with me, consistent in her visits, listened to what my cat needed, kind and caring. She sent short sweet messages each day with cute pics to let me know my cat was well taken care of. I’d surely book Olivia again!
