“Once again, Chrissy did a fabulous job in taking care of my cats when I went on a quick vacation. She sent multiple photos each time she visited and let me know how each of them were doing. She did not need any prompting as she send photos and updates before I could even ask for them. She is my one and only sitter that I absolutely trust 110%! Thank you, Chrissy! The cats miss you already!”



“Connie is very personable. She will do exactly what you ask of her and she will be on time. She took care of my cat while I had to be away for the evening and when I came home my fur baby was totally content. If you need someone dependable, and reliable please go with connie! She's great! I'll certainly be booking her to care for my cat when I'm away”


“Judy took such good care of our babies while we were out of town. We have 2 dogs, a cat and a bearded dragon. She is so compassionate and took the extra time with my gentle giant who is afraid of everything. We were at ease knowing our pets were in caring hands. We will gladly have Judy look after our babies again!”


“Jennifer was great! We came back to a happy boy, and the photos were fantastic! She was super responsive, and we were super happy to find her.”


“We'll, Elizabeth is just the best! There are not enough superlatives to describe her. Trustworthy, caring, detail oriented, and compassionate. She took care of our puppy as if she were her own. We're prepared to use her over and over again.”


“Dominique was amazing with my 2 cats during all her visits! She responded quickly to messages and went above and beyond to care for my pets. I definitely recommend Dominique to anyone!”


“Grace was wonderful! She watched our hyper 2-year-old dog while we were out of town for the weekend. We put our dog in good hands! Will definitely be using her again.”



“Mo went above and beyond for my 7 year old cat. I knew I could trust her right away! I will definitely book with her again. Thank you l, Mo! <3”


“Aubrey is outstanding - caring, punctual and very attentive to my pup Harper.”


“Alexis was a great caregiver for my sweet, old cat. On the first day, when Kippy did not appear to get her food and meds, Alexis searched and found her hiding place, thus ensuring Kippy got what she needed that morning. Alexis’s kind and gentle demeanor soon made Kippy lose her fear and she began greeting Alexis at the door. I would definitely hope Alexis was available the next time I need Killy care.”


About: Hi! I'm Jack, a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to wise senior dogs, I’ve spent years understanding what each pup needs to feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or drop-in visits, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that gives both you and your dog peace of mind. With me, your furry friend is in experienced, loving hands. I have a non traditional work schedule that affords me lots of free time at times that 9-5 workers are traditionally most busy. I am also available on weekends and most holidays. I won’t be caretaking for pets at my own home at this time but would be happy to care for any pets in their own home. I’m very respectful and will make sure to keep your home as I would my own.

“Megan was wonderful w/our dog! We enjoyed getting pics everyday and it was a great relief to know she was checking in on him. The whole process through Rover was streamlined and easy! We will continue to be a customer, thank you very much!”


“This is our second time having Kristine watch our boys and she was wonderful with them. Always prompt for the many drop in visits we had scheduled over the long weekend and communicative. The boys got plenty of exercise and playtime and were well taken care of. I highly recommend her and will have her help us again in the future.”


“I can’t say enough great things about Valerie and the care she takes with our little one. This last time she was very flexible and was able to add an additional visit because our need changed. I highly recommend Valerie.”


About: I grew up with a golden/german shepard mix and 2 german shepards next door. I also have experience caring for small dogs. I am the go to sitter for all my family and friends! I am a small business owner and I make my own schedule! I am very flexible and able to build my schedules around you and your pet’s needs I am a firm believer in leaving every space better than I found it. I am tidy, efficient and very respectful. I will leave your home and they only way you will know I was there is from the smile on your pet’s face and the photo updates I send!

About: I love all animals. I have the most experience with small-medium dogs with fairly high energy. I love playing with pets and forming genuine connections with them as they each have their own unique personalities! I’m currently working part time at a boba drink shop but only about 9-12 hours a week. I specifically like to pet sit because it gives me more hands-on experience with animals, and i’m planning to study pre-vet at boston u. I sometimes care for multiple pets each day, especially for repeat customers! I find that regardless of the actual money made, spending time with pets itself is such a fun part of my week :) When boarding at my home, I keep the pets completely separate from my current pets in order to prevent conflict. I live in a large family home with 3 floors and many rooms so there plenty of room to provide a separate environment for the pets I service! If wanted, I also have experience with bathing dogs so i’m very open to that extra service if wanted. At other people’s homes i’m very respectful of their property and their pets health. I only offer treats when given permission and I provide extra effort into making sure the home is securely locked and clean before leaving.


About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. From the time I was little, pets have always been part of my life—and I know just how special they are to a family. That’s why I treat every pet like my own. I’m calm, careful, loving, and reliable. Whether I’m dropping in for a quick visit or taking your pup for a walk, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’ll also leave your home just the way I found it—clean and respected. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s specific needs, routines, or quirks, and I’ll always communicate openly so you feel at ease while you're away. I’d be honored to give your pet the love and attention they deserve and give you peace of mind in the process. Let’s chat about how I can best support you and your furry family member—I can’t wait to meet you both! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I make space in my schedule—especially on weekends and holidays—to be available for walks and drop-ins. During the summer, my schedule is more flexible, so I’m available throughout the day. During the school year, my availability shifts more toward evenings and weekends. I plan ahead to ensure each visit gets my full attention, and I’m always happy to adapt my routine to meet a pet’s specific needs. Being around animals is something I genuinely look forward to—it doesn’t feel like a job, it feels like a joy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m always respectful of their space and routines. I follow all instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, leash preferences, or favorite toys. I make sure doors and gates are securely closed and always keep pets leashed on walks unless directed otherwise. I stay calm and attentive, especially around other animals or unfamiliar environments, to keep your pet safe. My goal is to make sure your pet feels secure and happy while giving you peace of mind.

About: When your dog comes to our home, we treat them like our own. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I know how important it is to find the absolute best care for them while you are away. Having pet sit for family and friends dogs and also fostered several dogs, we have experience with all types of dogs from puppies to senior dogs and various breeds. I have two daughters who love to spend time with dogs that come to our house and always give lots of love and attention. I work from home so I am around all day to take the dogs for walks and keep them company. I have flexibility in my schedule. We have one dog currently that can keep your dog company and I will care for your dog the same you do to keep things consistent for them. We can leave them out if we have to leave or crate them, whichever you prefer.

About: I am reliable and honest and have 30+ years of pet experience. Your pet will be treated like my own fur baby and you’ll come home to a tired pup! I work full time at home with a very flexible work schedule which allows me to accommodate your crazy schedules! I find this helps to break up my days I can accommodate instructions to allow your fur baby to feel at ease when their owners are away. I have found this helps to relieve any stress and anxiety they may have .

About: I've been a dog-mom to three very different dogs—a German Shepherd, a Rottweiler, and an Indian street dog rescue—over nearly 30 years. They were always part of the family, traveling with us across the world through military assignments and other moves. I've loved and cared for them through every stage of life, from their energetic puppy days to the challenges of old age, gaining plenty of experience with a range of personalities and needs. I recently said goodbye to Daisy, my loyal companion of 13 years, leaving a big hole in my heart. I’m currently not working and have very few time-bound commitments, making my schedule very flexible. I am available throughout the day and over the weekends. I live in a single family home with a small unfenced yard. I am in a residential community with plenty of space to walk and green areas. There are no other pets or kids in the house.

I highly recommend Zlatka.”
