“Craig was Fantastic with Atticus. We will continue to use him. I am so happy e met him!”


“Corrine was an excellent sitter for my pup! It was my first time leaving him and she made me feel super comfortable and kept me updated with pictures while I was out. She has a great backyard for dogs to roam and play. Her kids are adorable animal lovers and my pup made some friends. Highly recommend Corrine if you need a sitter!”



“Paula was honestly the best dog sitter we could have ever asked for. She is humble, kind, and was absolutely wonderful with Cappucino. She was very, VERY patient with him, through his stubbornness, active personality, and especially his barking. I couldn’t ask for any one better to care for my dog. Cappucino is stubborn and it isn’t easy to get him to trust you, especially if he barely knows you. But somehow, Paula managed to win him over! I was so happy when I found out they were starting to become friends. She send us updates, messages, and pictures throughout our entire stay, and is surprisingly quite a nice photographer! I recommend Paula to everyone, and would give her a 10/5 if I could. You won’t regret having her care for your pup!”


“Julie and Will provided outstanding dog-sitting service for my dog! I contacted them on short notice because I was visiting from out of town and needed a place to drop him for the day. They were reliable, caring, and attentive to every detail. My dog was happy and well-cared for, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. They also sent several pictures letting me see how happy and content he was. I highly recommend their services!”


About: Hello! My name is Matt, and I’m a devoted dog owner and caretaker with a passion for providing a safe and loving environment for your furry friends. I have two adorable pups of my own—an affectionate 12-year-old toy poodle (the boss) and an energetic 4-year-old doodle. They are both well-socialized and love making new friends, so your dog will feel right at home in our household! I work from home full-time, so I’m always available to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. My home is equipped with a secure, fenced backyard where your dog can run, play, and explore in a safe environment. I understand that every dog is unique and has their own needs and routines. I’m committed to ensuring that your pet feels comfortable and happy while they’re with me. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or just lounging around, I’m here to provide the care and companionship your dog deserves. I look forward to meeting your furry friends and giving them a delightful experience while you are away! I work from home full-time which allows me ample time to care for your pup, including playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. Both of my pups are very friendly and love making new friends. I have a fenced yard, and two pups to keep your pet company. Both of my dogs are crate trained. I can provide a crate if need be for sleeping accommodations

“Kara was great with our dog. She was extremely flexible and responsive regarding drop off and pickup, and her own dogs were fun for our dog to play with. We will definitely use her again and would wholeheartedly recommend her to others.”


About: I have been working with animals since I was a young kid. My love though is dogs… especially older dogs! I have been a rescuer, foster, and dog owner for as long as I can remember. I am a volunteer at the local animal shelter as a dog walker. I am here to make sure your pet is taken care of safely. I work from home, but can make my schedule work. Its very flexible. Monday-Friday anywhere between 830am and 3:30pm. Last minute appointments are okay too. I rescued my 5-year-old Pit Mix last year from a reputable rescue. He is living his best life going on daily walks, belly rubs, and tons of kisses.

“Cindy was wonderful and took amazing care of Kylo, and agreed to watch him without much notice. It was obvious she gave him amazing care and spoiled him, and was also very attentive to the guidance we gave her. Thanks Cindy!”


“Danielle kept our girl Trixie for the day while we hosted a bbq for 65 people. Trixie is an escape artist if someone leaves the door or gate open more than 2 seconds so we knew we needed to send her to camp for the day. Danielle sent us a video of Trixie having a blast with the other dogs. Danielle was even flexible enough to deliver Trixie back to our home (same town) as a last minute request. We will definitely use her again. Thanks for pooping my girl out, she slept like a log that night.”


“Kristen is wonderful! She loved on Sam and put up with his inquisitive, stubborn personality. She gave him snuggles and introduced him to cat life.”


About: Hi, I have over ten years of experience with dogs. I volunteered and assisted at my local shelter from 2014 - 2017. I helped in the rehabilitation of about sixty animals to their furever home. I’m here to help you be at ease when it comes to your pet/furbaby as they are also part of the family, I love long walks and runs, and playtime is a huge factor. I can also assist with teaching various tricks and commands with lots of patience. In my home, your dog will be safe, have a designated play area that is fenced off inside and a huge fenced yard while outside. If your pet is uncomfortable, I will do my best to make them feel right at home, they will have my undivided attention.

“Deb and Ed are truly dog lovers They took very good care of my 7 month old Archie They even gave me hits to house train and walk train him I highly recommend them”


“Absolutely amazing! He took perfect care of my pup and was amazing with picture updates all the time! I've never seen my pup comfortable enough to just fall asleep after spending time away! Will keep coming back whenever I can! My dog adores him and I think he is one of the greatest rover sitters I have come across!!!!!”


“Our pup Wicket had a great time staying with Lynn and her family! This was our first time leaving him with someone other than friends/family so we were really concerned but Lynn was the best sitter we could ask for. She provided lots of photo and text updates throughout the week and Wicket was well taken care of. He will probably sleep for a week after all of the playtime he got with Lynn and her dogs. We’d definitely recommend her and will use her again next time we come to LBI.”

Shruti T.
“I have been friends with Shruti for 20 years, and one of the things I’ve always loved about her is how much she cares for animals. She absolutely adores my dog and always asks me to bring him over when I visit. It’s so sweet to see how excited she gets to spend time with him—she showers him with love, playtime, and treats, and makes sure he feels right at home. Shruti is not only a wonderful friend to me but also incredibly gentle, patient, and thoughtful with every pet she meets. I trust her completely and know she would provide safe, loving care and make any pet feel like family. Anyone would be lucky to have Shruti looking after their furry friend.”


Jesatina P.
“I highly recommend Jesatina to care for anyone’s pets. In fact, if it wasn’t for her rescuing an 8 month old American Bulldog, we wouldn’t have this fur baby in our lives that we now consider a part of our family! She is extremely kind hearted and compassionate towards all animals inside her own home and especially with others fur babies as well. Jesatina has always been a pet sitter ever since she was a young teen. She is reliable, affectionate, and gives your pets the attention they deserve. If you are looking for someone that cares and is 💯 trustworthy, then I’d be happy to recommend Jesatina to care for your pets. Thank you! Jeanette”
