About: I am a dad of 2 and I have a passion for taking care of dogs. I have more than 25 years of experience with dogs requiring special care. I am particularly good with dogs that require medications, particularly senior dogs. I have in the past taken care of dogs with heart failure, to dogs with meningitis and much more. My schedule is pretty much open as long as I have enough notice. I love taking care of dogs and as long as I have enough notice I would be happy to take care of anyone else’s dog. I treat all pets like family. If they want to play, want to be taken out or fed I am always around. I don’t limit where dogs can go in the house unless specifically told to.

“Anyssa was awesome! She was very helpful and accommodating to my reactive dog’s needs. She spoiled her and let her sleep in her bed and sent me lots of pics so I’d know she was doing well. We will definitely be booking with her again!”


“This was my first time using rover and coming across it on the internet. Last minute both my usual dog sitters canceled or couldn’t do services and luckily I found Ruth. Although she was a complete stranger but once we met up and Darla got a feel of her home I automatically knew I could trust Ruth and knew my Darla girl was going to be in good hands. For a whole week on our vacation Ruth kept me updated with pictures and text message updates on how my doggie was doing and just by the pictures she was having a blast by keeping her active. I really appreciate Ruth and her family for their dog boarding services! I will most definitely board with her in the future! <3”


“We have used Kathi twice now and I don’t think I’ll ever use anyone else! My pup Scout always has the best time and I never have to worry that he’s not getting the same love and attention that he gets at home!”


About: With two beloved goldendoodles (ages 5 and 2) and a lifelong love of animals, including growing up with dogs and parrots, I offer trusted, experienced care. I work from home so I am available 24/7. Your pet(s) will fit seamlessly into my routine, enjoying plenty of attention, walks, and playtime daily! When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize safety by providing a secure, pet-friendly environment, free from hazards. I offer 24/7 supervision, ensuring constant care. Trust is built through open communication with pet owners, and I follow any specific guidelines they provide. Pets are part of my daily routine, with regular walks, playtime, and feeding schedules to keep them comfortable. In a client’s home, I maintain the pet’s usual environment to minimize stress, following safety protocols, and providing updates to reassure the owners 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.

“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.”


“Bianca was a wonderful sitter for my two cats. It was my first time using Rover and I was nervous about leaving them but she made it a breeze with great communication and photo updates. Even my anxious cat warmed up to her quickly. Absolutely zero complaints. Can’t recommend her services enough!!”


“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.”


About: I’m Hailey and I’ve spent the last 6+ years caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I absolutely love doing it. I currently have three adorable dachshunds who are not just pets but they’re my family. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry loved ones, because that’s exactly how I feel about mine. Whether your pup loves long walks, playful fetch sessions, or cuddle time, I’ll tailor my care to their unique needs. I’m known for being gentle, patient, and extremely attentive. I treat every dog like one of my own because that’s the only way I know how. From puppies to seniors, shy dogs to social butterflies, I’m here to provide a safe, fun, and loving environment while you’re away. Let your pup join my little dog loving pack, and you'll come home to a happy, excited buddy! As a stay at home dog mom, caring for pets isn’t just part of my routine it is my routine! I spend every day with my three babies that are truly my world. Pet care isn’t a job to me it’s a lifestyle I genuinely love. Your dog won’t just be watched, they’ll be welcomed into a home full of love where they’ll be treated like part of my family.

“Kelsey saved the day! My sitter backed out 24 hours before a big trip and she was so sweet and quick to respond! She gave me daily updates with photos and I was able to enjoy my trip with zero worries. I can’t wait to use her again in the future!!!! Thank you so much Kelsey and your sweet family!”


“Lea was amazing!! I loved that even though it was a last minute booking, she worked with us to arrange a meet and greet. During the stay, she sent us pictures and videos of our doggy! I felt very happy knowing that Lea was very attentive of Luna, our dog. If you are looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, I highly recommend Lea!”


“Reyna is awesome with Hazel. This is her second time watching my little beast and when we got to her house Hazel was so excited that she threw her body against her door. Hazel can be a little bit of a handful and knowing that she’s okay is such a relief and let’s me enjoy my time away. Reyna even took her in very last minute and that was such a blessing. So grateful to Reyna!”


“Amanda was very helpful in taking our Lola in on short notice. She sent us updates almost immediately. She was very attentive and caring with our pup. We felt comfortable with the way she cared with Lola. Her location is convenient and I would recommend her to anyone. We look forward in using her services again.”


“Had a last minute travel plan and wasn’t able to take my boy with me, Antonia and Pricilla were really a godsend! The made me feel comfortable and like Benito was one of their very own. Since I left I’m short notice I didn’t have time to leave him with enough food, so Toni and Pricilla were kind enough to provide some nourishment for Benito. Had daily updates with pictures and videos. We’re very quick to respond to any questions that I had. Very respectful and polite. Feel like my pup has found his home away from home. Highly recommend”


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.

Our animals are only here on this earth for a short amount of time and I believe in giving them the BEST life ever. You can definitely count on me to make your animals happy and feel loved.

If I'm caring for pets in the client's home, I maintain a clean and organized environment, respecting their space and following their guidelines. Trust is essential, and I always prioritize the well-being of the pets entrusted to my care.

“Sinthia was great with my Lola. She kept me informed and sent pics. I’m sure if Lola could talk she would say she had a great time. I will definitely be using her again.”


Eduardo S.
“Mr. Eduardo is very caring and knowledgeable when it comes to dogs. He has had many dogs throughout his lifetime. He has taken care of 3 of our dogs before and they pretty much instantly fell in love with Mr. Eduardo after spending a day with him. Whenever our dogs look through the window and they see Mr. Eduardo coming by, they react as if they are seeing their actual owners coming home after a long day. Overall, Mr. Eduardo is very prompt and will do his best to take care of all of the dog(s) needs. I'm glad I came across him because I honestly wouldn't trust our dogs to anyone else but him.”

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.”


Richelle C.
“Richelle is really good with dogs and is really trustworthy. She will make sure she is the best fit for your pet and be a wonderful friend to your best friend at all times . She is amazing with cost and just an amazing person in general.”
