8. Brenda E.
About: I have been around puppy dogs all of my life. From Saint Bernards to chihuahuas to basset hounds to mini dachshunds and everything in between. I am also the proud grannie of a Dutch shepherd. Having lost my 13-year-old companion a few years ago my heart is finally ready to help others take care of their loved ones. I am currently working full-time downtime and am available for early morning and evening potty breaks and walks. Depending on the location I can pop in over lunch. I am also available to stay overnight with your little one. I believe furry ones are more comfortable in their own homes. I strive to provide as much normalcy as possible to their routine. They will miss you, facetime is always an option for them to hear your voice.

11. Courtney C.
“Courtney is a great communicator and clearly loves animals! My dog Roscoe had a great time on walks with her, and our cat even got some bonus love out of it. I especially liked the funny and creative pictures Courtney took.”
12. Margaret K.
About: I always say my super power is getting dogs and children to bond with me right away! I’ve lived with a dog or had a dog for most of my life! And after my Great Dane passed away in 2020, I have found myself not ready to be a dog mom again. So, I have become the best dog auntie I can be! Whatever your dog(s) need, whether it a quick walk around the block or a long hike, or just some cuddles, I am your person! I am here to spoil your dog just as you would. Also I am allergic to cats (I know sad) so I would prefer to not dog sit with a house full of cats but I am willing to do one cat in the house hold for a short amount of time! I am a photographer, who is a busybody type of person, so my genius idea is why not spend my free time with some doggos! Because let’s be honest dogs are better than humans! My Great Dane had separation anxiety, so I know how important it is to find a trustworthy and kind person to watch your fur baby or babies. And I especially know how hard it is to find someone willing to stay at your house for the sake of your dog(s). I get it I have been there! So I am willing to do whatever is best for you and your dog(s).
13. Monica D.
“I wish I could give even more of a tip (rover won't let me give more than 30%), but Monica did an amazing job today. My dog had an accident in the house and she cleaned it up even though she didn't have to. Words cannot describe how awesome Monica is. 12/10 would recommend to anyone.”
14. Jane O.
About: Hi, I’m Jane! I’ve been professionally caring for dogs since 2015, and I make it a priority to learn about each pet before we meet. This includes researching breed-specific needs and understanding any medical conditions to ensure I provide the best possible care. For both dogs and cats, I strive to stick as closely as possible to your routine, while adding a little extra love and exercise to help ease their anxiety while you’re away. PRICING: I offer a base rate for the first pet, with a small additional fee for each extra pet. If you have both dogs and cats, the base rate applies only once per household. Pricing Example: 1 dog, 2 cats: $19 + $4 + $4 = $27 (Note: Fees will be updated prior to booking. Pets must be from the same household.) I have a senior male Chihuahua who accompanies me on overnight stays, so my availability for house-sitting is limited to pet families where this won't be an issue. I work from home and can be flexible for scheduled drop-ins or house-sitting. The pets I care for enjoy frequent breaks to play, walk, or relax in near my lap while I work on my laptop. My policy is to never let a dog out of my sight, even in a fenced yard. Pets can often behave unpredictably when separated from their owners. I focus on keeping them engaged through exercise and play tasks, providing plenty of distractions until your return. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

17. Torina G.
“Tori did a great job watching our dog while we were traveling. Our dog really bonded with her. She also left the house clean and tidy. We were able to relax on our vacation knowing our dog was in good hands.”
18. Hassannah M.
“Wow, what a respectful and professional sitter. When I came back from my trip my dogs were super happy and looked well taken care of. We cleaned our place when we left and she took great care of it! We came back to it being nice and tidy. She's a pleasure to communicate with and responds very swiftly to any calls or texts. We decided to have her sit for us whenever we left town!”
19. Elizabeth R.
About: I’ve had, and taken care of dogs since I was 8. Whenever neighbors went on vacation, they knew to call me for walks and sitting. I’m a college student, so I’m pretty available for walks in the afternoon and pet sitting on the weekends and even the weekdays. My schedule is pretty flexible. With three dogs at my parents house, I am very used to different dogs needs. I can follow Any request that will make you and your pup happy.
20. Javon L.
