“Angelica is amazing! This is my first time with Rover and I will always book ahead and use her. I have a rescue dog Micky that is not friendly to most people and needs to be cared for from our home From the first Micky really liked her and was well taken care of. Angelica took severe photos per day and texted my husband and I about how Micky was doing. We look forward to future travel knowing our dogs are in good hands!”


“10/10 stars!!! I found my forever sitters, the pictures and love they have my baby were unmatched! They take care of him like their own and he couldn’t of been happier :) we already rebooked for another upcoming stay!”



“My pup had a great week with Jennifer. She provided consistent updates and I could tell she was spending quality time with our dog. It seemed that she genuinely enjoyed being with her and that made it so much easier to be away. I look forward to using her again in the future.”


About: I have 5 years of hands-on experience as a veterinary assistant in an animal hospital, caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. From energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets with special needs, I’m confident handling a wide range of personalities and medical needs. I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and attentive care, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own! I currently attend college Monday-Thursday during short morning or afternoon hours; typically in class between 8am-12pm or 2pm-6pm. I also work overnights as needed on Fridays and Saturdays (3 shifts a month). When caring for pets in your home, I follow their routine exactly to keep them comfortable and stress free. I make sure they’re safe, well-fed, and get plenty of attention, playtime, and love: just like if you were there.


“Diana was great! She came through in the clutch after we had a last minute sitter cancellation. She spent quality time with Dinho multiple times a day, called right away the one time Dinho was acting up, and was easy to coordinate with. Would definitely book her again!”


“Melissa was excellent. She sent photos of my dog having fun every day. The house was in perfect condition when I returned. Melissa is a responsible, warm person. I highly recommend her.”


“Rachel was great! Professional, punctual, great communication, and most importantly, great with Frappe. Even my neighbor commented that she was great from what he observed. She’s the first person I’m going to next time I did someone!”


About: I grew up always surrounded by pets. I have consistently had family dogs since I was 6! I have been dog sitting for family and friends since 9-10 yrs old! I am currently a nursing student. Most of my free time is in the evening or on weekends, but I can make overnight dog sitting work! I am comfortable with walking dogs with or with out leashes. I am also an athlete/runner so I can also take dogs on runs if high energy!


“Michael and Durell are lovely. Durell watched our dogs (one elderly dog and one very active puppy) at our home and they were very happy! Thank you!”

From feeding & bathing to training & playtime, I've got your furry friend covered! 🐶💕 My hands on approach empowers dogs to reach their full potential. Let's give your pup the best care possible! 🐾💫 As a dedicated animal lover , I prioritize pet care in my daily routine, ensuring a consistent and nurturing environment. I am fully committed to meeting their needs, which always take precedence, and I structure my day around their schedules, including early morning walks, midday check-ins, and evening interactions. My approach is flexible, consistent, and responsive to their requirements at all times. In my residence, your pet is permitted to roam freely. Your fur baby can also play and run around in my gated backyard. My home is also a smoke-free environment.

“Magdalena was wonderful! She stayed at our home for almost 2 weeks to take care of our 3 dogs. We received daily pictures of our boys and came back to a clean and happy home. She communicated very well prior to and throughout our booking. She’s just lovely, We truly appreciate her!”


“Caty was great! I appreciate her accepting our booking with relatively short notice. Opie was very happy to meet her and she took care of him and our home during her stay. Will definitely book again and would recommend!”


About: Hi, my name is Vivian and I would love to get a chance to know your pet! I absolutely love animals and dogs have a special place in my heart. I have a lot of experience in dog walking and basic pet care, as I have a dog myself. I also have experience caring for cats and have one myself as well. I can be relied on to walk, feed, and bathe your pets as needed and if your pet is on a schedule I will make sure it is followed. I would love to get to know you and your furried friend better and give your pet the care it deserves. Looking forward to meeting and getting to know both you and your pet! I am a recent college graduate student and am available to work any day of the week, especially for the summer. I would love to spend time with and to care for your furry friends! I typically walk my own dog as a part of my daily routine and I would be glad to make helping you out as another part of my daily routine. In my own home, my dog is pretty well-trained. He knows not “go” in the house, listens to basic commands, and gets along with people and other dogs well. Therefore we do not have restrictions for him in the house. However, if your dog is not allowed to go into certain areas of the house or onto certain furniture or requires to be put in their cage, I have no problem keeping them out of restricted areas and putting them in their cages before leaving if requested.

“I highly recommend Andrew! Andrew is an exceptional communicator and was great with our puppy. He responds to messages quickly, asks thoughtful questions about puppy's needs and preferences, and sent us adorable photos of our puppy while we were out of town. I cannot recommend Andrew enough!”


About: As someone who has personally cared for six dogs at once—including different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels—I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, calm, and cared for when you're away. I’m naturally organized, reliable, and attentive to routines, whether that means scheduled walks, feedings, medications, or crate time. I treat every pet with the same respect and attention I’d give my own. Whether it's a high-energy pup who needs playtime or an older dog who prefers quiet companionship, I adapt to what your dog needs most. I also keep communication clear and consistent—expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind. If you're looking for a responsible sitter who respects your home and genuinely enjoys caring for animals, I’d love to connect. I have no problem taking special instructions from owners being that some breeds need to be taken care of differently. Dogs have always been special to me and being a dog sitter/care giver is a great opportunity. I am currently unemployed so my schedule is pretty much open at the moment! I prefer the mornings over afternoons but whichever the customer prefers. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize comfort, routine, and respect—for both the pet and the space. I stick closely to your pet’s usual schedule, whether that includes feeding times, walks, crate time, or medications. I give pets plenty of attention and play, while also being mindful of their energy levels and boundaries. I always clean up after myself (and them), and make sure your home is just as you left it—or better. I check in regularly with photo updates and am available if you have any specific instructions or changes. My goal is to keep your pet feeling safe, relaxed, and loved while you're away—without disrupting their normal environment.

She balances a difficult major while also playing on the women’s soccer team at Wagner. All of these attributes make her an excellent candidate for a pet caregiver.”

Haili D.
“Haili watched our two English Bulldogs for 6 nights/7 days and to say she was amazing is an understatement! My dogs are not easy to handle and she did it like a pro. My 68 lb male loves walks, he's really strong and can really pull and she had no problems handling him three times a day. Being bulldogs, they have plenty of medical issues and she literally handled all forms of meds including eye drops, ear drops, pills and even oral meds via syringe (lactulose for anyone who has a baby w/ stomach issues) and she did all this with no problem or pushback. She was very attentive and responsive when we checked in while giving us our space and not reaching out for every little thing so we can enjoy our vacation. She left the place just like we left it and cleaned up well considering my female vomits a lot and uses wee wee pads for all her bathroom breaks. She was very professional and sweet and I'd highly recommend her for any pet walking or sitting!”

I highly recommend him for any petsitting needs!”
