“Trent did a really great job giving our animals the best care! He was on time, consistent, and bonded very easily with our pets. He sent wonderful photos at each check in and ensured that our pets received top tier interaction while we were away. Thank you Trent!”



“Aislyn was wonderful with our puppy Scout. She was super responsive, on-time, and provided great pictures and write-ups of our visit. That was especially important to us as Scout is our first puppy and we were nervous about leaving her home alone for the first time. Scout always looked so happy in the pictures and when we came home from work!”


About: I have taken classes in dog behaviors and how they act when they might need a particular action done. I have a NAPPS certification, which is National Association of Professional Pet Sitters that is earned for all small animals, both including dogs and cats. I have had my own very young puppy, so I know how to handle and train them in a gentle manner that they will respond to. I have tons of experience in senior dogs and cats, so I am patient to more slow animals or paying attention to them more and making sure they have what they need. I have an extremely open schedule and can stay over for longer periods of time than most people. I am free almost every single day for hours on end, so finding when I can come over is no trouble. I’m easy to schedule if I need to house sit, and am extremely responsible and willing to stay overnight when needed. I love taking care of animals in their own homes, knowing they’ll feel the most comfortable surrounded by their familiar surroundings. The only thing I care about is that your furry companions are safe and cared for in a way that they don’t feel out of place or missing the love they got before you left them in my care.

About: I’ve raised my own dog from 3 months old (she’s now 5) and have experience with senior dogs, including my family’s 12-year-old pup. My friends and family have also had me to take care of their pets. My top priority is always the safety and happiness of every pet. Most of all, as someone who has spend the last two years finishing up my masters and being in the corporate world; I’m looking forward to enjoying walks away from my desk top. Due to my work schedule I will be available in the mornings on weekends and Fridays. On the weekdays I will be available in the evenings past 6 PM! I also have a car so I am able to get to places easily. As every dog is different in their needs and behaviors, I will make sure to not only follow instructions but to ask questions to make sure that the best care is provided to your pet! On walks, I keep plenty of dog bags with me and keep a watchful eye on surroundings. I also carry dog shoes just in case the pavement is too hot in the summer months or if there is salt on the ground in the winter. When going into a clients home, I want to not only be respectful to their space, but to make sure I make their pet feel comfortable in their own home!

“Maggie is so kind and wonderful with my two cats. She’s so thoughtful and detail oriented and I really appreciated her help while we were away. Maggie is a great rover!”



“Diana was a fabulous cat sitter for us! She took excellent care of our kitties for a long vacation we were on and it was so nice to know we had a caring and reliable person to look after them. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants their pets to be well cared for while they are away!”


“Jane has been excellent with our 9-month-old beagle during her checkin service. She informs me of any unusual things that she observed, in addition to taking care of our dog. She also kept a close eye on our dog’s after-surgery suture area, sharing pics and building rapport with our dog. Highly recommend!”


“Tricia visited and walked our puppy while we were out of town for almost 2 weeks. She was reliable and communicated with us throughout the time we were gone. We will definitely utilize her services again!”


“It was our first time using Rover and using a sitter/walker for our puppy and it was great! I had a busy 2 days and I was unable to be home all day so Jon came twice each day and walked, fed, and played with my pup for an hour each visit. He maximized the time he had and followed any rules I had (due to my pup being so young he can’t explore as much just yet ). I had some anxiety about leaving my puppy for the first time since he’s only 14 weeks old but Jon made it easy. Highly recommend!!”


About: We would love to take care of your small hypo-allergenic dog for you while you are away. Our shih-tzu, Snuffy, is great with other dogs and has plenty of toys to share. Your dog will enjoy a minimum of two longer walks per day and two additional shorter potty breaks. We will text you photos of your dogs in action or lounging. Your dog will not be left alone for long. I work mostly from home. I have two boys, ages 15 and 18 who are very responsible and help with the care of your dog. Our dog sleeps wherever he wants, and so can your dog. We have a fenced in backyard, but we supervise the dogs while they are in the backyard because we have a pool. We have four of us living and working at home who are available to feed, walk, and entertain your dog. We feed the dogs in the morning and in the evening. We have tons of dog toys and a fenced in back yard for potty breaks. Since we already have two dogs, our home is dog proof. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and our dogs share their toys. We send pictures every day with updates.

“Kyra is amazing! She took such great care of Kobe and kept me updated every step of the way. I really appreciated the thoughtful messages and how much attention she gave him. I’d definitely book her again. Highly recommend!”


About: I may not have a pet of my own, but I'm always surrounded by them—nearly all of my family and friends have pets, and I’ve spent years helping care for them. On top of that, recently, I just finished a 3 week long internship at “Playful Pack” which is a daycare and boarding service for dogs. With friends and family, whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just keeping them company, I’ve been the go-to person when they need an extra hand. I'm currently in the process of looking for a part-time job for this summer, but aside from that, I'm basically free all day, every day. That means I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care on a daily basis, whether it’s walking, feeding, grooming, or just spending quality time with the pet. When caring for pets, my main concerns is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I will always follow their specific instructions regarding feeding, walking, medication, and routine. I will also give plenty of attention, playtime, and affection to keep pets happy and relaxed while their owners are away.

“Clara took great care of our dog while we were away for a 4 day weekend. We got updates and pics of his walks / playtime and knew he was quite happy to have Clara keeping him company. She has a very calm demeanor and is great with animals. I would highly recommend Clara.”

“Roshni was very easy to communicate with and she followed all of our care instructions carefully. Our kitties had a great time with her, and I was happy to receive all the cute pictures while we were away. She was also able to administer medicine for one of our kitties. Would highly recommend.”

Sarah B.
“We are a military family and found ourselves in a situation where we needed to get our dog out of Kuwait 6 weeks before we were due to leave. Sarah took my little Maltese Polo in for the entire time, I could not have made a better choice for him. He was so loved and cared for by not only Sarah but her boys too. Walked many times a day, bathed, groomed, my list could go on. I really think he could care less when we came to take him back, he was very content to stay there. This was such a great experience for all involved. I encourage you to try this in home boarding, beats locking them in the kennels any day. Thank You Bunn Family for being so caring and loving to my little pup. I would Highly recommended!!!”

Arman B.
“I've known Arman as a family friend for years, and he is truly one of the most kind, dependable, and responsible people I know. He helped out as a substitute in my neighborhood dog walking business, and every single one of my clients raved about him. I could always count on him to take excellent care of the dogs—he struck the perfect balance between being gentle and loving while still maintaining structure on walks. I also trusted him to care for my own dog for a full week while I was away, and he went above and beyond, taking him on long, fun walks and giving him tons of attention. Arman is a natural with animals, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. Anyone would be lucky to have him as their dog walker.”


Clara O.
“Clara took great care of our dog while we were away for a 4 day weekend. We got updates and pics of his walks / playtime and knew he was quite happy to have Clara keeping him company. She has a very calm demeanor and is great with animals. I would highly recommend Clara.”
