“Leah was absolutely incredible! She had an instant connection with my dog Winston and was so easy to work with. When I had a last minute change of dates, Leah was super accommodating and made everything work. Winston loved spending time with her and appreciated her dedication and attention!”
“Natalie was responsive, knowledgable and professional! She made me feel comfortable knowing my dog was under her care. I loved the updates she shared and I came home to a happy pup! Thanks, Natalie!!”

“Leigh took wonderful care of our two senior cats. She was comfortable giving one of our cats his medication twice a day and sent us good notes and pictures each day. Leigh is also just lovely and easy to talk to. From our initial meet and greet, it was clear she cares for animals and "gets" how to approach them. We feel confident leaving our boys in her care and will definitely try to book her again in the future!”
About: I have a dog of my own that I got in late 2020. He was a rescue so he started out very shy and distrustful, now Frosty is bursting with energy and has fully come out of his shell. I have also pet sat for my grandmother’s dog and friend’s dogs in recent years. An animal’s wellbeing is my highest priority when they are in my care. I take them out every couple hours if they are antsy and am happy to play, cuddle, and give them my attention. Ultimately, I just love to see tails wagging :) My current full time job is front desk at the Madison Hotel. I would need to give two weeks notice to get time off for long periods of pet care. I can fit shorter visits into my existing schedule most days, I work a variety of shifts, but most frequently 7am-3pm, so my afternoons and evenings are usually very open. While my dog Frosty is very gentle with humans, he is not friendly towards other dogs, so I am unable to host animals in my own home. I can take out your pets for frequent walks or keep them entertained inside, whichever you prefer. My only caveat is that I am asthmatic so I have trouble keeping up with a dog that requires a lot of running or walks around a hilly neighborhood.
“Alex did a great job with my two cats while I was away for 9 days. Both cats were in great shape when I returned. She quickly learned how our automatic feeder worked so the cats had a second soft meal each day. She helped keep things tidy. She is great with cats and plays with them. I'll request Alex next time I'm away!”
About: I love dogs and have taken care of them from a young age. Neighbors and friends always rely on me to care for their dogs when they are away. I have a 1.5 year old Australian shepherd mix that I adopted last year. I care for your dogs like they are my own! I work from home so I would love to help out with daily walks and dog drop ins. I am available on weekends for pet care 24/7. In my home, I take my dog for walks three times per day. At night my dog is crate trained and loves to enjoy her alone time in there for sleep. In client homes I typically take dogs for a walk unless the owner prefers otherwise. I treat your home with respect.
About: I’ve had three dogs in my life! A mixed breed, border collie and Bernese mountain dog! My first dog in her later years became blind,diabetic and gained arthritis. Due to this I was taught to give shots, meds and drops (eyes/ears). Each one of my dogs I’ve had since they were 8 weeks old so I know how puppies can be and how much attention they need! I’m currently a community college student so I’m home year round! During the summer I’m available most weeks of the summer! Since I’m home year round I’m constantly taking care of my dogs! My two dogs are wonderful but no very dog friendly so I will be available to go to your house and take care of them.
About: Hi! I had a Shitzu and a Maltese since I was 1 years old. We had to put down the Shih Tzu because he was losing his eye sight and was 17 years old in dog years. I know.. really sad. Frosty was given to my cousins when I went off to college two years ago. After recovering from losing my lifetime friend (the Shih Tzu, Marbles) I have decided to become a dog sitter for Rover. I also love being around animals so I feel like this would be a great opportunity to do so. I have grown up with cats and dogs and have plenty of experience. I don't discriminate with different breeds and am open for taking care of all kinds. I ensure your furry one is my top priority while dog sitting, boarding, or dog visiting. I prioritize several potty breaks throughout the day and walks/runs if you have any active one. I am available for several check ins/drop in visits throughout the day. I care for the pets in my home as I would my own. :) I dedicate our den space for their dog bed and toys.

I’ve seen firsthand how well he cares for his own pets, and he’s been a trusted caregiver for my two senior dogs over the years — both of whom required special attention, medication, and specific feeding protocols. Knowing Anthony is with them has always given me peace of mind. He’s reliable, trustworthy, and an all-around great fit for anyone looking for quality pet care.”
