Jay is the best. My Thunder who is a 75lb American Pitbull loves him and for anyone with this breed that once they trust you there is no such thing as personal space. This breed gets a bad reputation but they are cuddle buddies. Book him now and often you will not regret it!

About: I've had 5 years of dog caring and have raised 3 puppies. I have successfully taken care of multiple breeds of dogs of different sizes. Moreover, I know how to interact with multiple animals, cats, and dogs. I like to pay attention to their needs and play around. The sole joy of being in the company of a pet is my reward! I paid attention to my pets needs and other dogs needs. I have taken care of friends pets as well as puppies. and find that it is important to showcase love and affection for every pet. In terms of potty training, I'm quite capable of perceiving when they want to go. Will adhere to dogs dietary needs as well as engage their attention.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and truly enjoy bonding with pets because they feel like a safe space and the most genuine companions. I have 4+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, giving attention, and making pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to care for their pets with patience, love, and reliability. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I make time throughout the week for feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets attention, comfort, and companionship while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, keep their spaces clean, make sure doors and gates are secure, and give them patience, affection, and gentle care so they feel relaxed and protected.

Joni took fantastic care of my shy foster Millie and has been incredibly accommodating with my last minute request. Even managed to plan for a meet and greet which absolutely helped Millie feel comfortable the next day for the actual sit. Joni sent many pictures and updats and my mind was completely at peace knowing Millie was in her gentle care. Joni also was very thorough with Millie’s schedule and routine, perfectly punctual, and very respectful of the house, leaving no trace behind! Thank you Joni!

About: I’m a calm, reliable, and attentive sitter who genuinely enjoys being around animals. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and each pet’s individual needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m especially patient with pets who may be shy, anxious, or need a little extra time to warm up. I take a steady, low-stress approach and always follow instructions carefully. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is being well cared for. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or staying with your pet, I focus on creating a calm and consistent experience for them. I’m currently a doctoral student in my second year and school consultant. I have a flexible hybrid schedule so pet care easily fits into my routine. I live in a condo building within walking distance from Maplewood Memorial park and other parks in the area. My building is also pet friendly and I care for pets by making good use of nearby outdoor spaces.

Veronica was absolutely wonderful with my babies! She went above and beyond, from picking up new toys and treats for the girls, to taking them on adventures, and doing everything she could to make them comfortable and happy. I received a ton of pics and videos and it was easy to tell how happy my Lily and Bella were with Veronica's care. I highly recommend Veronica for your pet sitting needs.

About: I am an experienced and attentive pet sitter with an eye for detail. My #1 priority is the safety and well-being of your pet, and when your furry friend is in my care you can relax knowing that they are being loved and cared for just as if they were at home. My life is guided by the principles of the Bible and I base all my dealings on honesty. Your pet isn't my only client, you are too, and I am looking forward to building our professional relationship. Customer service is very important to me, and I pride myself on my communication skills. I’ve owned both dogs and cats, have experience with lots of breeds, and can administer medications. Truly, it is my pleasure to provide a safe and loving environment for your pet. No dog should ever have to be lonely and I love keeping them company. When your dog stays with me, they'll enjoy the loving attention of myself and my son. We're so excited to meet you and your four legged friend! I have a pretty flexible schedule. There may be last minute fees if the book is short notice or canceled. No doubt all contributing factors will be taken into consideration. I am no longer having pets stay at my home. When I visit your home specific instructions make things run smoothly. Thank you for your consideration.

Gabriel was wonderful! He was willing and able to take on some days watching Lucy as my regular sitter was booked a few days during a long work trip. He did a wonderful job with her, was so kind, caring and great. She was comfortable, happy and well cared for. He did a great job keeping me updated, answering my questions and ensuring I felt comfortable having someone new care for Lucy. Will absolutely be using him again!

I can’t say enough good things about Shannon. I came to her with a little bit of an odd request—more like an evening of babysitting our pup than a traditional dog sit. Happy is 5 months old and full of energy. And also still learning how to behave in someone else’s house. We were staying with our daughter and her family so we could attend a family wedding in a different city than where we live. I looked on Rover and found this woman with years of experience as a certified dog sitter, who seemed very knowledgeable and friendly. I thought she would not be overwhelmed by a 5-month-old golden retriever pup. So I reached out to Shannon long distance and she was right there with all the good questions and suggestions about how to make my plan work. We chatted for about an hour to make sure we both felt comfortable and then I booked the appointment. Shannon even came to my daughter’s house the day before the wedding just to meet Happy and give me a chance to share any additional details. Then on the day of the wedding, she came right on time and gracefully managed our pup (walks, potty breaks, dinner, playing with our very young grandkids , settling for the night), which enabled our son-in-law to manage our two grandchildren without any additional complications. Her skill and kindness with Happy made the whole evening stress-free for all of us. It was a dream dog sit. When it came time for Shannon to leave, Happy just walked over and sat down right at her heels and nuzzled her hand. Thank you Shannon!

Holy moly! I can’t brag about Safiya enough! From start to finish the communication was nothing short of incredible. She cared for my baby like he was her own. She cared for my home like she lived here. I feel like a found a member of the family not a sitter. Hands down, the best caretaker for anyone you love. Will ONLY be booking with her again in the future. 100000000000000000000 out of 10. Literally the greatest experience.

Chris did an amazing job watching our dog Gobi and we will definitely have him watch him again in the future! He has a very calm, comforting demeanor which helped our nervous guy feel safe. But he also loved playing with him and tired him out nicely for us! He went above and beyond by taking him out for 3 extra walks and even brought one of our packages inside the house. I also loved the picture updates he sent us! Thank you Chris, see you soon!

Samiyah did a great job watching my dogs, Debo and Sadie, while I was out of town from Thursday to Wednesday. She was reliable, respectful of my home, and kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. She followed all instructions as requested and made sure both dogs were well cared for during my time away. I came home to everything in order and two well-looked-after dogs. Her professionalism and communication made the entire process smooth. I would definitely book Samiyah again and recommend her to anyone in need of a dependable and trustworthy sitter.
