“Liz was a true godsend! I travelled out of state for a month & needed drop-in care for my 4 year old cat. Liz did a stellar job! She was extremely communicative on her visits, sent photos each day with status reports on Ashling's mood & general well being. Liz performed all requested tasks extraordinarily well. Additionally, her calm demeanor gave me great comfort during this new-to-me process of arranging for pet care via an app. I will 100% reach out to Liz the next time Ashling & I need Rover App services! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”
“Amanda is great with Dodger. She is enthusiastic and dependable and clearly loves my pup. I have such peace of mind knowing she’s coming for a visit 3 times a week while I’m working. She always includes a photo and lots of details about her visit. I would recommend booking services with Amanda.”
“Karen did a great job of taking care of our 17 year old cat who’s a picky eater and needs medication. It was a last min booking and she was quick to set up a meet and greet before we left town. She sent pictures and our kitty was very calm and content when we got home. Thank you so much!”
About: I cater each encounter to the dog! Do they want the park, neighborhood or just lazy days on the living room floor…I am here for it! Many friends and family have trusted me to take care of their fur babies whether in their home or mine. It’s all about creating/keeping a comfortable space for the dog! I work full time but my schedule is very flexible to enjoy time in the mornings and throughout my workday with your pup. Off Day = Full Day of Fun! I have a studio apartment and can easily crate dogs. I drive an SUV with plenty room to transport large dogs to the park, lake or vet appointments.
“Riley was great! She gave our dogs so much love and attention and communicated well with us the whole time. We will definitely be using her in the future”
“Kate was great! She had great communication, quickly let us know if there were any problems at the house while we were gone, and sent pictures of our pups after each visit! When we got home it was clear that our dogs were well cared for.”
“Dani was fantastic! She even stopped in extra because my dogs were being a bit more needy than I anticipated! She kept me up to date with pictures and comments so I knew what was going on and we could make decisions together! She truly made it like my animals were her babies as well! 100% recommended!”
“Great communication and heartwarming photos. I reccomend Keishla to any and everyone.”
“Cody does a great job!! Sebastian took right to her and I appreciate how caring she is. She provides thorough communication letting me know how he’s doing with each day. Makes it easier to be away from home when I know he is well cared for.”
About: I have grown up with and taken care of pets since I was a kid! I love spending time with pets of all kinds and making them happy. I have experience with rescues, high energy/reactive dogs, seniors, and puppies. I bring patience and empathy when working with animals and just want them to feel comfortable and loved! Im a work from home engineer with a flexible schedule. That makes me available for drop-ins and walks all day on both weekdays and weekends. I can easily make time for multiple visits a day. Pet safety is my number one priority. I am diligent to ensure that your pets will not come into harms way be it eating something they’re not supposed to, avoiding other aggressive animals, being crated if needed, being safely secured in their home when I leave, etc. I’ll be sure to provide your pet all the treats, water, and activity they need. I have a dog named Koda, he’s a friendly social butterfly who loves to play. He can join on walks or give your dog some play time if desired!
“Victoria was an awesome sitter for our two 4 month old kittens. She has a wonderful demeanor, they had no issues warming up to her. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Philana was great watching our puppy while we were at work. She provided lots of feedback on how he was doing and photos!”
About: I have always had dogs in my life. Since retiring from my job, I’m ready to experience a dog’s love!! My first grand child was a grand puppy, Rowan. Any spare moment I have I love spending time with Rowan. I have plenty of time. I am retired. I can sit anytime during the day and anytime during the week except Saturday. Ready to share my love to all types of dogs. I have a big fenced yard. I have no other pets so I can devote all attention to dog client. I have a gate to separate upstairs.
“Kallie was so so so amazing! She did an amazing job communicating and sending lots of pictures, which made this super nervous pet parent’s first trip away a LOT easier! The pets warmed up to her super quickly, and she followed instructions I had left very well! Would highly recommend trusting her with your pets!”
About: My family got our first dog when I was 9 years old. Since then, I don't think I've ever not had pets in my life. I've had dogs, cats, and bearded dragons. I come from a long line of animal lovers, and I consider my pets to be part of the family - so they live good and happy lives. I've also had family and friends rely on me many times to take care of their pets while they were out of town. I'm a teacher, so come the summer (when everyone goes on vacation), my days are wide open! During the school year, weekends are the best bet for house-sitting, but I've got more flexibility for dog walking etc. First step is building trust. I want your pet(s) to feel comfortable around me, and part of that is gauging how they behave around me. If they want love and attention, I'm more than happy to give it! If they need more time and distance, that's okay too. I'm someone who wants to make sure that you AND your pet are happy, so whatever you need me to do is what I'll do. Lots of play? Can do! Frequent walks or bathroom breaks? Not a problem! Just hang out so they're not alone? Absolutely. And I want you to feel confident that your pets are in good hands, so I'm always happy to send check-in pictures if desired.
About: I have been a dog lover my entire life. I have been a nurse for 24 years and involved with animal rescue for the last 10 years. I have fostered over 300 dogs. I have cared for dogs of all ages ,from bottle fed puppies to senior dogs on medications. I have cared for and nurtured , abused, puppy mill , homeless and sick dogs. I had my dog for 18 years . Now I love and care for every dog like they were my own. I work from home so it easy for me to care for pets in my home. I enjoy walking and playing with the dogs as part of my daily routine. I live in a town home with a small patio/ yard in a great neighborhood. So I make sure to incorporate play time and walks. I also live a few blocks from a dog park.
“Oliver was so great with our Kali. He was caring & attentive. He took care of her for a week with all her needs & even took care of the home with making sure the temperature was comfortable for Kali & safe & secure! I completely trust him & his love for animals. I had no doubt that Kali was well taken care of.”
About: I lived in a household where we had six dogs at the same time and I was able to give them each individual care and keep them all happy, safe, fed, and attention. Ill be sitting full time. I currently don't work another job so this will be my only priority as I also do not have children. Making sure they are fed on time, listening or watching their particular way of communicating when they need to use the restroom or when they crave affection.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life ranging in age from puppies to senior dogs. I’ve taken care of and dog sat for multiple family members and family friends. I’m currently looking for part time work. So I’ll have plenty of time to look after or walk your pups. I’m able to do walk morning, afternoon, or evening and can even dog sit but am unable to offer boarding. I make sure the pets have food and water. I also try and make sure they go outside and in walks constantly. I try and make sure all energy is out before I leave or go to sleep.
About: I started dog-sitting in college. I've taken care of blind senior dogs, puppies, adult dogs, not to mention guinea pigs, chinchillas, cats, turtles...the list goes on!! I work from home, so I can take my laptop anywhere. I can be a constant presence during boarding or drop in frequently... your choice! I treat my pets like they're my kids, so your pets would be like my nieces and nephews...lots of fun but I'll give 'em back!!

“I can't say enough wonderful things about Chris! From the very first walk, it was clear how much he genuinely cares for animals. My dog absolutely adores him and always comes home happy and tired.

13. Alison K.
“Alison has watched my girl, Rowan (a 90 lbs yellow Labrador retriever), many times when I've gone out of town and boarding wasn't an option. I prefer to send her to Alison's in home care than most boarding facilities. She keeps my dogs feeding schedules, gives her ample walks and will even bring her fun places for some socializing (with permission of course). She had gracefully taken care of my dog while my dog was sick and threw up, pooped and peed (my pup is potty trained )in Alison's house. Alison has also been available to drop by my house to feed and let my girl out to go potty on days I've been unexpectedly tied up and couldn't get home in time to take care of dinner and evening bathroom breaks. This is a fabulous dog carer, I would definitely recommend her services for your pup big or small!”

15. Kendall G.
“To know Kendall is to love Kendall. I have never met another person that gives so much of herself to animals as she does. Her fur babies are her life and it’s a joy to see. I don’t know anyone else I would rather have watching over my animals than her. She’s the best.”
16. Ivette V.
“Ivette has been watching my dog since he was a puppy. He is now 12 years old . He gets so excited when he sees her because he knows he will be spoiled and loved by her !
