Jen was very sweet, what can I say? We left our car hiding under the bed, as she had pretty stressful couple of weeks before our departure, and we came back to a very happy and relaxed cat. Thank you Jen for taking care of her and making sure she felt safe !

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.

About: As a part-time nurse, I spend my days caring for people in a fast-paced environment, so on my days off I love slowing things down by caring for dogs instead. Pet care gives me a chance to unwind while still helping others and doing something I genuinely enjoy. I have 5+ years of experience with dog walking, boarding, and in-home sitting, with multiple references available. I’m comfortable with all sizes and personalities, from tiny Frenchies to 100-pound bullies, and I’ll treat your dog like family while you’re away. I work 3 days a week, and have full availability during my 4 days off! I take any and all requests, from weeks in advance to day of! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide attentive, reliable care in both my home and clients’ homes while keeping pets on their normal routines as much as possible. I have a clean driving and criminal record, and I live in a beautiful, safe community that’s perfect for long leashed walks or quick potty breaks. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, or a calm environment, I make sure they feel secure, loved, and well cared for at all times.

everything went exceptionally well with Kevin taking care of Darla and River. Kevin was punctual, followed instructions that were left and interacted with the dogs extremely well. I give him 5 STARS and will use him when his services are required in the future.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, and two years ago I worked with a dog-sitting company—a truly rewarding experience. I love being surrounded by these four-legged friends, and I have a natural ability to communicate with them. I am currently off for the summer, but starting in September, I will be mostly available after 4:00 p.m. on weekdays and throughout the weekends. In my home, I focus on creating a safe, fun, and structured environment for every pet. We’ve recently added a secure fence to our extra-large backyard so visiting pups now have a spacious, supervised play area to run, explore, and burn off energy. In addition, I make sure dogs stay active and engaged with daily walks around the neighborhood, tailored to their age and energy level. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s routine as closely as possible—feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and walks—so they feel comfortable and cared for in their familiar space. My goal is always to provide consistency, safety, and lots of loving attention, whether I’m hosting your pet or caring for them in your home.

Dominique did an amazing job watching and caring for my dogs while I was gone! She updated me daily on giving my dog his eye drops, sent photos of her walking my dog, and even cleaned my dishes and took out the garbage which was unexpected yet greatly appreciated. Definitely will be booking her again in the near future!

Finnian was available last min and responded super quickly which is always great in a pinch but not expected. He was open to all my directions for my new puppy and comfortable dropping in without meeting her and not knowing what to expect. Took adorable pics and sent great notes! I do the job full time and so far I’m happy I found him :)

About: I have experience with small and medium-sized breeds, such as my parent’s dog, Enzo, who is a havashu, as well as my current dog, Robin, a 60 lb. boxer with high energy. I’ve also had experience walking and taking care of dogs of my friends. If you have a larger dog, my fiancé, Vin, is on Rover as well and has extensive experience with bigger breeds. I currently work from 8:30am to 5:00pm Monday through Friday. I am usually available during the weekends any time with enough notice. My fiancé, Vin, is available from 3:30pm and later during the week, as well as weekends any time as well. I am available to walk your dog, as well as feed them, give them any needed medications, and to play with them and/or give them pets!

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.

Jenniffer was absolutely wonderful! She kept in constant communication, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog, Gracie, in her care, and it was such a relief knowing my baby was safe, happy, and well taken care of during my vacation. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
