“Boryana is an extremely professional and reliable pet sitter. She has excellent communication skills, is very attentive to details, and did an outstanding job taking care of my cats. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for high-quality pet sitting services!”
“Sharyn stayed at my house and took care of my dog while I was away for 6 nights. She was very kind to my dog and he was happy and looked great when I arrived home. The house was well taken care of as well. I will definitely have Sharyn care for my dog again in the future.”
“We recently entrusted our dog Maeve to Jill, and we couldn't be more pleased with the care she received. Jill not only kept our home tidy but also formed a special bond with Maeve, ensuring she was happy and well-cared for. We highly recommend Jill for her exceptional service and genuine love for dogs!”
About: With over 10 years of dedicated pet care experience, I am passionate about providing a safe, loving, and dependable environment for dogs, cats, and birds. I offer pet sitting, dog walking, boarding, and day care services tailored to each pet's individual needs. Daily activities may include walks, playtime, enrichment activities, feeding, medication administration when needed, cuddles, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Throughout my years caring for animals, I have worked with young pets, senior pets, special-needs pets, and animals with challenging behaviors. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to build trust while maintaining their normal routines to help them feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow feeding schedules, dietary requirements, and any special instructions provided by owners. I work from home, which allows me to provide frequent supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and attention throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone for extended periods and will receive the same love and care I give my own animals. I am attentive to changes in behavior or health and remain calm and prepared in emergency situations. My goal is to give pet owners complete peace of mind while providing pets with a fun, comfortable, and stress-free experience. I genuinely love getting to know each animal's unique personality and look forward to welcoming your beloved companion into my care as part of the family. 🐾 I currently work part time and have plenty of time for your baby/babies. I love animals they always seem to come to me out of a group. Follow whatever instructions you have for the safety of your animal. Crate, special area blocked off, etc. make sure there is nothing for them to get into
About: I’m a responsible local college student offering dog walking, drop-ins, and basic pet care. I’m newer to Rover, but I’m reliable, patient, and careful about following each owner’s instructions. I’m available every day on a flexible summer schedule for dog walking, drop-ins, and basic pet care. I’ll keep my availability updated and am happy to discuss your pet’s routine ahead of time to make sure I can provide reliable, consistent care. I take safety and trust seriously and will follow each owner’s instructions carefully. During walks, drop-ins, or stays, I’ll make sure pets have fresh water, proper leash or harness use, potty breaks, and a calm environment. I’m happy to send updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well.
About: I've had dogs since I was 14 and have taken care of them for family and friends over the years. That includes small and big dogs, young and old. Dogs in general seem to be drawn to me. I'm currently working part-time so that gives me more time to care for your pets and give them the attention they need and deserve. The best thing I can do is make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible while you're away. I do that by keeping them in their same routine everyday and giving them a lot of attention.
“Ryan and Shannon took great care of both my dogs. They were very responsible and kept me posted on everything while I was away. House looked as perfect as I left it, too! Many thanks to you both. Looking forward to having you sit again when I’m away.”
“Shalini was great! So easy to work with and very communicative. Gave updates throughout and my pup was clearly well taken care of! I would definitely use her again and recommend her.”
About: I grew up with dogs and love spending time with them! I’ve helped watch families and friends pets and love being able to spend quality time with them! I’ve helped with dogs as small as malteses and as big as goldendoodles! Ive also helped dogs with specific needs such as blind and older dogs! I work remote one day a week so I’m happy to watch dogs or take them out, I just need a heads up to pick the day I work from home. I also typically work 8-4:30 so I’m happy to take dogs out in the mornings before work or as soon as I get home! I’m also happy to do weekends. I have a fenced yard for any pet to wander around in and am happy to walk them around my neighborhood park! No other pets in the home!
“Vee was absolutely wonderful! She cared for my dog with love and dedication and left my home in pristine condition. She communicated regularly and was very responsible. Most important, she was patient and determined to get my dog to eat and take her meds (she is older and has health issues) and kept me informed. I could not ask for better care! My dog is happy and healthy!”
“I can always trust Rita. I’ve had issues in the past with sitters ensuring that they wouldn’t leave my dog alone for more than 3 hours but have ended up leaving him for 6. Rita, on the other hand, sticks to her word and goes to extra lengths to ensure my dog is comfortable at home. She’s my go to sitter for house sitting, dog sitting, and dog walking. Highly recommend her to folks who need special care for their fur babies.”
“Giana was kind and very intentional in making sure our pups were safe and taken care of. She was constantly in touch with us. We did a pre meet and that was helpful as I am new to Rover. Our house was left spotless. I will definitely use Giana again.”
About: I’ve been raising and caring for dogs for over 10 years, and they truly are my world. I’ve raised four puppies and have hands-on experience with dogs at every stage of life—from energetic young dogs to seniors, as well as rescue, reactive, and special-needs dogs, including caring for a dog with cancer.

I’ve raised four puppies and have hands-on experience with dogs at every stage of life—from energetic young dogs to seniors, as well as rescue, reactive, and special-needs dogs, including caring for a dog with cancer. I know how stressful it can feel to leave your pets with someone new—I’ve been there myself and struggled to find reliable care for my own dogs. Because of that, I take trust, communication, and consistency very seriously. You’ll always know what’s going on at home, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease. I’m calm, attentive, and very tuned in to each dog’s needs and routines. Whether your dog loves playtime, quiet companionship, or just sticking to their usual schedule, I make sure they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure in their own space. I can prepare food the way your dog is used to, give medications and vitamins (I know all the tricks!), and adjust to any specific needs or preferences. I’m currently available for evening visits and overnight stays in your home (6 pm - 7 am) —perfect if you’re traveling but have daytime care already arranged, or even if you just need someone to stay with your puppy while you’re out for the evening.

Elizabeth was amazing right from the meet and greet! We knew Storm was in great hands from the start. We didn’t have to worry about her once while we were away, and that peace of mind was priceless. Elizabeth kept us updated and took great care of Storm. We’ve already booked her for our next trip and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Boryana was absolutely amazing with our three dogs over the Thanksgiving holiday. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease leaving our pups in her care. She was incredibly attentive and loving, making sure each dog got individual attention, walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. Boryana followed all of our instructions perfectly, kept the house neat, and sent us thoughtful updates and photos so we always knew everyone was happy and relaxed. We came home to three calm, content dogs and a home exactly as we left it. It’s clear Boryana truly cares about the animals she’s looking after, and that kind of peace of mind is priceless. Five stars isn’t enough—highly recommend Boryana and would absolutely book her again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sharyn is such a wonderful and trustworthy person! She has provided drop in service for be before, but this weekend I booked her for house sitting for the first time. Of course, the night before I went out of town...my dog got sick and needed medication and supportive care. Sharyn didn't skip a beat. She followed all my medication and feeding instructions and ensured that my dog had a comfortable night. She kept me posted with pictures and reports. I had total piece of mind while I was away. I look forward to working with Sharyn again.
Ryan and Shannon took care of our senior dog for a week in our home. They were highly professional and loving companions for her, taking her for walks and handling her medication skillfully. They kept in touch with us on a regular schedule. We recommend them highly. Great to have them both with her.
Sarah was great! She did everything I asked her to in regards to taking care of my pups. She even watered my flowers and got my mail. The house was in great shape when we got home and the dogs were fine and happy. Sarah said she enjoyed the dogs company and would miss them which warmed my heart. We will use her again.
