“Jenniffer watched my boy Hazzie (cat) for a week. He's timid and gets spooked easily, but he came out for Jenniffer. He looked forward to her visits! I'll 1000% book with Jenniffer again!”

About: I’ve taken care of 5 family dogs from puppyhood to later stages of life as well as dog sat for family friends and other family members. I currently work full time but I get home around 3pm most days. I normally get home and take my puppy Robin on a two mile walk and run. I care for Robin with a fenced in small yard and using the crate for when me and my fiancée are out. I would take care of your dog in whichever way you need.

“Alley was wonderful throughout the whole process. She snapped photos of our cats to make sure that they were okay and sent them to us. In addition to doing their food and water, she made sure to turn the lights off them as we had accidentally left the dining room light off and it was dark in the apartment. She's a wonderful caring cat sitter and I would highly recommend”

About: I have over two years of professional experience working with dogs and have been a dog owner for more than 15 years. I believe in allowing dogs to approach at their own pace and building trust through patience and understanding. I have experience caring for puppies as well as dogs with behavioral challenges. I am the owner of Outreach Dog Walking LLC. I’m a college student with flexible availability. The only times I’m unavailable are Tuesdays before 1 PM and Thursdays. I live at home, so overnights at my home aren’t an option, but I’m happy to stay overnight at your home if needed. I am capable of handling multi-dog families. Due to my background, I'm used to seeing sibling sets of 2-3, despite never personally owning more than 2 dogs at 1 time

“Brittany was amazing from the start. After our meet and greet and how receptive my dogs were with her I knew she was a good fit. Throughout our trip she was in touch and super detailed about the dogs, their activities, and feeding schedule. All the photos she sent, my dogs looked super happy and content. Definitely took a big burden off of our shoulder. She also went above and beyond making sure they had no accidents and left my home in good shape. Highly recommend and will definitely book her again for future trips”

About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs most of my life and really enjoy connecting with each pet’s unique personality. Caring for my senior dog Benji during his later years taught me a lot about patience and paying attention to the little things that make a big difference in their comfort and happiness. I’m gentle and patient with shy or nervous pets and enjoy creating calm, low-stress environments. But I’m also happy to play and engage with energetic pets to help them burn off energy and feel satisfied by the end of our visit. I’m comfortable administering medications and always treat pets and their homes with respect and care. I work full time during the week, so most of my availability is in the early mornings (6-9 am), evenings (after 5:30 pm), and weekends. There can be some flexibility there if we work it out ahead of time :) I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine as much as possible, and I make sure they still get plenty of attention and care during the times I’m with them. If your pet needs a consistent schedule, just let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate. When I visit your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable by following their routine closely, keeping their space clean, and paying attention to anything that might seem off. I always double check that doors and windows are secure before I leave. I know it’s a big deal to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: Hi, I’m Lauren! I was a proud dog mom to two amazing girl dogs until recently, and I truly miss the joy of caring for a dog. While my family isn’t ready to have another of our own just yet, I’d love to help others by spending time with their furry family members. When I was young, I worked as a Seeing Eye Dog trainer, which gave me years of experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with everything from playful puppies to older companions who just want a calm walk and a cuddle. Whether you need drop-ins, walks, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pup feels loved, safe, and right at home while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule. Typcailly I work from home on Wednesdays and always Fridays. On the work from home days, I don't start until 10AM so I am free in the mornings and will take my lunch for the afternoon walks. In our home, we have an enclosed deck. Gate if needed to avoid the stairs. Nothing on the ground to chew. Pet free home. In other homes, I am always wondering where the pup is. I ensure to keep a close eye if they tend to be a trouble maker.

“Alyssa was great with our dog. Our dog has high anxiety and requires meds each day. Alyssa took care of her meds and gave us plenty of pics and updates.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and trust I bring to every pet I watch. I’ve cared for friends’, neighbors’, and clients’ pets both in my home and during overnight stays, so I’m very comfortable adapting to each pet’s routine and environment. I have experience with a wide range of needs, including administering medications and injections, and I’m attentive to any changes in behavior or health. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs structure and play, or a senior pet who requires a gentler, more patient approach, I tailor my care to what makes them feel safest and happiest. I also prioritize communication, making sure owners feel at ease with regular updates and photos. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so it’s not something I try to “fit in”, it’s something I intentionally make time for and build my routine around. My approach to pet care is always tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their pet’s normal schedule to keep things as stress-free as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise, while also keeping their environment clean and secure. I’m respectful of the home and aim to leave everything just as I found it. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and at ease. I keep a consistent routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime, and I make sure they get lots of supervision and affection throughout the day.

“Lauren was absolutely wonderful and took such great care of my cat while I was away on vacation. She sent me updates and pictures every visit and was so patient with my shy kitty who spent her first few visits hiding. They ultimately became best buds which made me feel so much better about being away. I would definitely recommend Lauren and would definitely have her again!”

Your pet’s comfort and well-being are always my top priority, as my experience with a variety of species supports my desire to provide.

About: Hi, I’m Cherish! I’ve been passionately pet sitting since 2019. While I took a brief break from Rover, I am so excited to be back doing what I love most: providing top-tier, reliable care for your fur babies. Over the years, I have specialized in advanced pet care. I am fully confident and experienced in administering medications, including both oral treatments and injections. I also have a deep tenderness and specialized experience caring for blind and deaf dogs, ensuring they feel safe, secure, and loved. Don't worry if your pup is on the younger side, though—I have plenty of stamina to keep up with high-energy puppies who need lots of playtime! In addition to dogs I have experience with single or multi-cat households as well as exotic pet care like birds, turtles, lizards, chinchillas, and fish Dog Room and Care Services for Your Furry Friend Your beloved pet deserves the best and I am excited to offer a dedicated dog room in my home that provides everything your pup needs for comfort, including crates, couches, and cots. I guarantee your furry friend will have plenty of playtime and potty breaks, alternating every 2 to 3 hours between indoor and outdoor activities. Please note that all new guests are required to have a meet and greet prior to booking their stay, and unfortunately, same-day bookings cannot be accommodated. My goal is to stick to your pet's schedule and ensure that every stay is a positive and enjoyable experience. I have a fenced in yard and dedicated dog room. For any pups who may not be adjusting to the pup room I do allow them in other areas of the house.

“Jennifer was fantastic! Ziggy the cat is not sociable but Jennifer took the time to speak with him and keep him company. She also sent pictures and gave me updates. Very happy with Jennifer and hope to use her again.”
