“Thanks soo much Leanne for taking care of my two dogs while I was away. They're not the easiest of dogs to get to know, but, you managed very well.”



“Kristen is INCREDIBLE with both our cat and dog! It’s rare to find a sitter that works so well with both so we always feel so lucky when we’re able to book Kristen as our sitter.”

“Kolleen was so helpful to do drop-ins for a few days while we were away and our primary dog watcher was at work during the day. As a beagle owner she understood our crazy beagles very well and I could tell they were excited to see her each day from the photos she sent! She made sure to capture their cutest angles too! I would absolutely trust her again with our dogs for boarding or a drop in visit!”


“Courtney was a wonderful caregiver for Buddy while we were out of town for a long weekend. Buddy had clearly been well looked after. Calm, mellow and happy when we returned! We look forward to having Courtney look after Buddy again.”



“Jan did a wonderful job dropping in on our cats at home! She spent time playing with the cats, getting even our shy Bella to engage 🙂 She even brought over a new toy for them to try! Jan kept us informed throughout, with pictures from every visit, and went above and beyond to give the cats human interaction and playtime! Our cats are fed twice a day, dry food in the morning and wet food in the evening with some special instructions and Jan fed them exactly the way we wanted. Our cats were so well cared for! We will definitely book with her again! Thank you so much, Jan!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember! My favorite days growing up were puppy bath time in the lake and going on nature walks with my furry best friends. Friends and family know that they can always count on me to watch their fur babies! I am an elementary teacher, so during the school season I am available weekdays after 3 or on weekends, and when school is on summer break I am very available and flexible! I’m able to give your dog all the attention needed, and they would never be unattended. Just tell me about their usual day and I’ll make it happen! Looking forward to meeting your furry family member, and I’ll love them like they’re my own!

About: My life has revolved around dogs. I've had larger 80-100 pound dogs in my home, so I'm quite comfortable with larger breeds. Currently, I live with and work from home with my 45 pound beagle mix Sophia and often have my family’s dog’s along with me too. I worked at a Vet Clinic in my hometown, for about 2 years. I have and do volunteer with multiple different shelters and foster on semi regular basis. Through these experiences, I learned how to properly take care of a variety of different breeds and behaviors. I'm also comfortable administrating medications and working with more anxious dogs. Your dogs will love the care and attention I can provide. I'm a calm, empathetic, fun individual, who's main focus will be to provide the same love and care they are used to obtaining from their owners. We typically will go out early morning for a 10-20 min walk around the area; followed by breakfast. Around noon, I’ll take them out again for a quick pee break and sniff around the area. Around 4pm I will walk them again for about 30 min to an hour. If you’re dog is comfortable with it I can also have them accompany me to one of the many scenic dog parks in the area. After that evening outing I’ll feed dinner. We will go out prior to bed time once again and then stay in for the night. If the dog requires any additional breaks I’ll add those as necessary. I live in an apartment building with a fenced bark park near by. It’s a quiet area, great for getting out any zoomies! I have a XL kennel and gates available if necessary inside. However I prefer you bring any item you’d feel will be helpful for your pup!


“Rachel was great and SO attentive to my anxious dog. This was my first time leaving her in so long and it was a success! I will be back in the future!”


About: I have been a dog, cat, and rabbit parent for most of my life and I love animals. My beloved cat recently died and I am missing the love of a pet but I’m not ready to get another one at this time. I will take very good care of your fur baby. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, and rabbits. I work 9-5 but can walk a dog during the day and my nights and weekends are mostly free to care for your pet. Any dog or cat is welcome! I have a two-level townhome with a balcony for outside enjoyment. I live in a semi-rural area so walks will include lots of trees and green areas.

About: Been around dogs since I was a child. I can walk, play, cuddle and feed your little fur baby. I look forward to babysitting your dog I work a hybrid job so am only in office 2 days a week. The other days/ weekends I’ll be fully accessible to tend to your fur baby and gov them all the loving the deserve. I live in an apartment complex near lots of trails, some parks, and dog parks to get in their excessive and mental stimulation. They’ll also have plenty of toys and nap spots in my home.

“amazing service! she is the sweetest person and took great care of my dog, sent me updates and photos as well! I will definitely be using her again!”


About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember! My aunt (mom’s best friend) had a dog grooming business, so from a young age I remember driving around in the van and hanging with the dogs while she was grooming them! We did camping trips every weekend with 6 dogs combined, and grew up with two-three dogs in my home at all time! In college my neighbors had two dogs that I would routinely take on walks, train and go for car rides with everyday for 2 years! I don’t currently have any pets, making it easy for my to devote my time for your pets! I am currently working Monday-Friday. However my availability will be changing to be much more open in the next couple of weeks! Evening I’m am available, and midday as well! I follow instructions beautifully! If there are notes, I rewrite them down and set reminders! Routine feedings are most certainly easy, but I also do a good job at understanding and listening to the dogs and what they are needing. I love pets cuddles and affection, but more importantly boundaries!! If the pup doesn’t want that, then neither to I! I believe if respect all

About: Hello👋🏽I’m a passionate dog lover and pet stylist at a doggie daycare, with 6+ years of experience leading playgroups and 3 years as a professional groomer. I’ve developed a deep understanding of dog behavior, body language, and individual needs.🐾 I currently have the sweetest babies, a 12 year old lab and 2 laid back cats. I grew up caring for our rescued beagles from an animal testing facility, which taught me how to support sensitive or nervous pups with patience and compassion. Through daycare and grooming, I’ve worked hands-on with all kinds of breeds, coat types, and personalities. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and help them feel safe, happy, and loved! I also offer nail trims if your pup is comfortable with it.✂️ I also enjoy cleaning in my spare time, so I’d be happy to offer light housekeeping or general tidying if that’s something you’d find helpful.🫧 Pet care fits into my routine really naturally. I work as a groomer and often have shorter days, usually finishing around 2 or 3 PM, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet sitting in the evenings. I’m also available most weekends for drop-ins and walks. Since I already spend my days caring for animals, it feels like a natural extension of what I love to do! I typically pet sit in the owner’s home, where pets feel most comfortable and secure. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely—every pet is different, and I do my best to stick to their usual routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, play, medications, or just extra snuggles. I’m respectful of your home and treat it with care, just like I do with your pets!

“Teresa did a great job looking after Misha. She conscientiously followed his route and routine. When I got home everything was in order and I was greeted by a happy boy.”


“Leah is very kind and was open to meeting me and the dogs beforehand, which I really appreciated for ease of mind. Everything went smoothly, and my pets were taken care of. While I had hoped for daily updates, I didn’t specifically ask for them—so that’s something I’ll be sure to clarify next time. Overall, it was a positive experience and my 2nd time booking on Rover ever.”


“Kelly provided great care for my cat, Ruthie, while I was out of town for a long weekend. She sent lots of pictures and videos, had great communication, and even cleaned Ruthie's box without me asking! Thanks Kelly!”


About: I have been caring for animals since I was a child. we currently have two rescue dogs from China where we lived for 13 years. I love caring for dogs and I think they enrich our lives and teach responsibility. I am a nurse but currently spend my time and energy on homeschooling making me available to care for your pet. I’m currently homeschooling my kids giving me lots of flexibility to care for your pet during the week and weekends. This schedule also allows for flexible hours for visits. I respect and take notice and care of my property and would do the same at another home and neighborhood. I like to keep things neat and tidy around my house and the places I provide care.

About: I have a passion for animals! I've taken care of a variety of different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and special needs dogs. I am retired and home full-time so pups receive love all day long. Many people have relied on me to provide a loving home away from home for their fur babies! I am retired and home full time. I am available weekends and pups get let out every 2 to 3 hours. Puppies are little more frequently. I have a large fenced-in yard, and I love taking dogs for walks! I have a variety of toys for playtime! I also have beds and a kennel if needed.

About: I’ve been a pet owner my entire adult life. I grew up with dogs and raised three of my own. I was a foster parent for Secondhand Hounds before adopting two of my own rescues. I’ve also raised animal lovers and my daughter is currently attending Cornell to become a veterinarian. I’m an awesome photographer and you’ll likely come away from the experience with some great photos of your furry family member. I currently work full-time, until June, when I am retiring from owning a daycare. Until then, I’m available evenings and weekend. Starting in the summer, I will be wide open for extensive pet sitting. I have a fenced in yard for my dogs, but am familiar with invisible fence dog security and love long dog walks around the neighborhood.

“Pat was flexible with some unforeseen changes and willing to help out if she could. Good communication, even crawled next to the bed where one of my cats was hiding to give her some love. My other cat wasn't as shy and Pat gave her lots of love and belly rubs.”
