“Absolutely amazing! It's clear that she has a genuine passion for dogs and their well-being. Communication was top-notch, and I loved receiving daily updates with pictures and videos of my furry friend while I was away. It put my mind at ease knowing my little one was in such great care. Highly recommended!”


“Kelsey watched my puppy during the Christmas holiday and maintained great communication throughout her stay. I also appreciate her offering a meet up before hand to ensure we were comfortable! Great sitter!! 🤍”


“Ruth is an absolute gem as a pet sitter! She is very accomodating and provided exceptional communication and plenty of pics & videos of our precious Eli. This is my first experience using Rover and we were very fortunate to find Ruth. She went above and beyond to care and love our fur baby. I will definitely use your services for any future care for Eli. Thank you. ?”

About: I’ve been around pets ever since I was 5 years old, and have taken care of them by myself ever since I was 10. I have a vast amount of knowledge in caring for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I even have experience helping momma dogs give birth. If your pets are on any type of medication do not worry I will take care of that for you. I also have some knowledge in training as I have trained every dog I have owned. I am currently at home almost 24/7 the only times I’m not is if I have to run so errands, but I’m never out for more than 3 hours especially if I have any pets being boarded with me. If you need me to come by and check on your pet/pets I can come by as often as needed. I do have 3 dogs living with me one is mine one is my mom’s and one is my brother’s. They all stay downstairs and whenever I have any pets staying with me they will be with me in my room which is upstairs. They will have the whole upstairs to themselves as it is gated off. If you do not wish for your pets to come in contact with mine I will make sure of that. If your dogs are dog friendly and you don’t mind them playing with other dogs I will introduce them to only my boy to have some play time. I live of 5 acres and have a huge backyard plenty of room to get their energy out. Your pets will always be watched when outside. I also live close by to a park that I can take your fur baby’s on a walk at. If your pets need to be crated at night I ask if you can provide the crate and I’ll set it up right in my bedroom. If your dogs are potty trained and are used to sleeping in bed I will allow them to sleep with me. If you happen to have any other questions feel free to ask me.

“We have left libby with a few dog sitters but Antonio was by far the best! We will for sure continue using his services. He kept us updated, was quick to respond and took such great care of her. You can tell he loves dogs and really knows how to care for them properly. We felt very at ease leaving our baby in their care. Libby was so happy when we got her again thank you!”


“Mayalin took great and loving care of my shih tzu. She was always updating me along with photos. She was so kind to go out of her way to get special dog food at the grocery store for me. She by far exceeded my expectation. So so grateful to find a loving and trustworthy sitter.”


About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds of dogs. I have a dedicated room just for your dog! It will have lots of room to play, rest, and eat. I’m currently a college student. I spend most of my time at home. I will be available for the dogs throughout the majority of the day. I have a large yard for your dogs to run and play. The yard is fenced and secured. Also a dedicated room in house for the dogs. Large and small kennel for the dogs.

About: I’ve cared for my own fur baby for 2 years, so I know what it takes to keep pups happy and healthy (and to survive the occasional “zoomies” and sock theft). While I’m new to professional dogsitting, I’m a genuine dog lover who vibes well with all personalities—from shy pups to playful goofballs. I provide chill, patient care and will try my best to keep your pup's routine on point! I just graduated, so my summer is wide open! Which means I can give your furbaby all the attention, care, and love that they deserve 24/7. I currently house a pup of my own, who's pretty shy but is very sweet and friendly once he warms up. He is fully crate trained and does well with dogs who respect his space. I will, of course, do slow supervised introductions to make sure every pet is comfortable! I live in a cozy and clean home with easy outdoor access for potty breaks/walks. Your babies will be in a safe environment and I will make sure to stick to their usual routine as closely as possible.

“Yolanda was great!! I really appreciated her taking my boy in last minute. The sitter I had originally booked didn’t answer my calls or messages the morning of drop off. So I reached out to Yolanda and I was able to drop off my pup within the hour. She was really a life saver.”


“Lea took great care of Rambo! She provided frequent updates and photos which provided a peace of mind while I was away. Rambo seemed happy and looked like he had a good time while he was under her care.”


“She's amazing! She did everything she could to make my timid baby(cat) feel comfortable. She response quickly and provides updates as needed. I'm glad I selected her for boarding services. My cat was in good hands.”


“Our Hazel is always happy to stay with Reyna. We sure feel able to enjoy ourselves more knowing she is in good hands and we all enjoy the pictures Reyna sends of our pup just enjoying her walks and relaxing.”


“Thanks for watching Dixie Lisette. Overall I loved my experience with Lisette, she is very friendly and a easy person to talk to. She stayed in contact with me the whole time, she also sent me pics of Dixie through out the day.”


About: I have several years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to providing personalized care based on each pet’s needs. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, administering medication, or simply offering companionship, I strive to make every pet feel safe and loved. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because I truly love being around animals. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime in the afternoon, or cozy evening cuddles, I make sure every pet feels comfortable and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily adapt to different needs, whether it’s daily visits, overnight stays, or special care for puppies or senior pets. Providing a safe, loving, and fun environment for pets is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment when caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. I ensure pets are always supervised, follow any specific routines or instructions provided by the owner, and create a calm and stress-free atmosphere. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain their routine, and keep them safe and comfortable. Communication is key, so I provide updates and photos to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away.

About: Hi! I have experience with cats & dogs. I have 2 cats of my own as well as 2 family dogs. I have helped friends and family with their pets whether at their place or I’ve had them at my place. I love all kinds of dogs and cats. They will be treated as they are part of the family. I currently work part time and mostly from home. I have time to take dogs out for their potty breaks as well as out for walks & out to play. I have 2 cats that are dog/cat friendly. I do have children who also are pet friendly. They love animals and tend to want to keep a pet in their room. If you’re okay with that, they would love it. I can also crate them if you prefer that. We treat animals like family.

Madeline D.
“Madeline cares for animals like no one else I know! Over the years I’ve seen her care for all types of animals with love, from horses and donkeys to dogs and cats, Madeline is someone I trust wholeheartedly with my pets. Her heart for animals and vast knowledge makes her someone that can handle anything that comes her way! Her years of working closely with animals makes her the perfect person for this job!”

Evan Y.
“Leaving my dog with Evan was the best decision I could have made. He treated my pup like family, keeping her active, happy, and loved while I was away. The updates he sent were thoughtful and reassuring, and I could tell she was having a great time. If you want someone who truly cares for your pet, Evan is the one call!”


Tam N.
“Though Tam has never personally pet sat my dog, I know that she is a kind and an extremely responsible dog owner. I’ve been with her and her dog many times and I’ve seen enough to know how she handles her dog with care and assertiveness to correct her dog’s misbehaviors. Tam also always puts her dog first. For example, before every study session after school and every hang out, Tam stops by her house first to care for her dog despite having others at home to take care of him. She makes taking care of a dog seem easy and moreover, less of a responsibility and more of a fulfillment to her love for pets.”
