Kayly saved us in a hitch despite her busy schedule. We can't thank her enough and will continue to ask her to care for our now grown kitten!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, and animals have always been a big part of my life. I’m currently a live-in nanny, and I also care for the family’s dogs. When their owners are away, the dogs stay with me and even sleep in my room so they feel safe and comfortable. I currently work part-time as a live-in nanny, which allows me some flexibility for pet care. However, I do have a busy schedule with regular dog-walking clients, so availability can vary. Please message me first to confirm scheduling before booking. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your needs if I have an open time slot. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every pet in my care. I carefully follow each dog’s routine, feeding instructions, and any special requirements provided by the owner.

Amada is amazing, she took very good care of our 90lb/41kg Airedale terrier, Wembley while we were on vacation. Wembley is a rescue and is very discerning with his human friends. We will use Amanda again.

About: Safely get my Persian cats over multiple infections and spay. Highly aware of cats discomfort and symptoms/issues. Attention to details and following careful instructions if needed. I work from home three days a week. I am very reliable and accessible when you need help. I generally have time after 5pm on weekdays and free during weekend. I love driving around, going on hikes and parks, biking and snowboarding. I always make sure I take pictures and communicate. I will always ask for preferences and special needs. I proactively clean the house to make sure the environment is on spot for pets. I am very proactive in terms of communication.

About: I only host 1–2 dogs at a time, so your dog gets a calm, low-stress stay—not a crowded environment like other daycare or boarding facilities/Rover homes. Hi! I’ve had 15 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog from puppyhood through his senior years, so I truly understand the patience, attention, and love dogs need at every stage of life. I now offer care on Rover and treat every dog as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I love spending time with your pets. I enjoy outdoor so I like walking the dogs outside as well. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible daily. Looking for a safe, comfortable place for your dog while you’re busy or away? 🐾 I offer both dog boarding and daycare in a spacious, home-based environment where your pup can play, relax, and feel at ease. With personalized care, plenty playtime, and lots of attention, your precious is treated like family. Whether it’s for the day or an extended stay, your furry friend will be in a clean, secure, and loving space. 🐶 Message me to learn more or book your dog’s spot!

About: I've grown up with a Bullmastiff and later a Retriever. So I know my way around bigger and heavier dogs as well as more active and energetic ones. I am looking forward to apply those experiences to sitting and walking your four-legged companions with the similar dedication. In addition, we’ve recently lost our Charlie (my golden retriever) and would love to spend time with your pets to try to fill in that gap. But we are in the process of getting a new golden puppy, so puppy requests are welcome as well!

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: Hi! My name is Barb. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and small animals for over 10 years, including my own pets. I am available for daily walks, feeding, playtime, drop-in visits, litter box cleaning, and medication routines. I have experience with active and senior pets, shy cats, and animals that need extra patience and reassurance. Puppies and kittens are also welcome. Hope to hear from you soon! My schedule is flexible for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the week. I’m available for both recurring and occasional pet care, and I do my best to keep pets on their normal routine while their owners are away. I prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication when caring for pets in a client’s home. I carefully follow feeding, medication, and care instructions, pay close attention during walks and visits, and always make sure pets feel comfortable, calm, and secure in their environment.

About: I provide constant care and very flexible hours! I have lived with my best friend Lucky which I have raised since he was 3 weeks old. He has lived with me for the last 10 years and I hope I gave him the love he deserves as much as I received from him. I don't know many tricks and skills, but I am fairly knowledgeable with potty training and walking. I don't offer many extra skills to go along with taking care of your pals, but I do make sure they are watched constantly and walked properly. I will try to show them an amazing time! I work full time at home so I can keep a consistent schedule! Walks and potty breaks are no problem for me as well as feeding! I like to keep a close watch to make sure their needs are met. I will try to walk often so that the dogs aren't sitting bored at home!

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!

We feel so lucky to have Phoebe as Smokey’s sitter for years! She consistently takes such wonderful care of our cat, and it gives us complete peace of mind whenever we’re away. You can tell Phoebe genuinely loves animals. Smokey absolutely adores her and is always so happy and comfortable in her care. Phoebe is reliable, attentive, and always keeps us updated, which we really appreciate. It is clear Smokey isn’t just being looked after - she is being cared for and truly loved. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter and highly recommend Phoebe to anyone looking for someone they can fully trust!

Manrong went above and beyond in caring for and feeding Moonbeam our cat while we were out of town for a few days. She was very thorough in cleaning out dishes, refilling fresh water, mealtimes, playtime, and did her utmost to open/close shades and maintain a great home environment every time she stopped by to take care of MB. She also gained MB’s trust each day. She was punctual, communicative, and asked questions/ shared updates frequently. She gave us so much of peace of mind! I would recommend her as one of the best petsitter’s we have come across!
