“Robin was absolutely phenomenal caring for our Cavapoo, London! She went above and beyond by sending regular updates with heartwarming photos of their time together. It was so reassuring to see London happy and well-cared for in her capable hands. Robin's attentiveness and genuine love for pets truly shines through. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a trustworthy and caring pet sitter who we would welcome back into our home without hesitation. If you're looking for someone who will treat your fur baby like family, look no further than Robin - she's simply the best!”
2. Chris J.
“Chris was a fantastic host for our little Finnegan, and on really short notice! Chris did a great job of introducing his 3 dogs in a slow manner, showed us around his place and explained everything about his care in great details. Her was very communicative and friendly throughout the day, making sure that we got plenty of pictures and updates. I would be happy to let Finnegan come back and stay here again!”

About: I’m a dedicated pet sitter with a passion for caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. With experience ranging from puppies to senior dogs, I’ve had the privilege of caring for animals with various needs, including those with medical concerns. Previously, I volunteered at an animal shelter, where I gained valuable hands-on experience caring for, playing with, and walking dogs of all sizes and breeds. My experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of dog behavior and training. I believe in positive reinforcement, and use it to create a safe and enjoyable environment for your pup. As a home based sitter, I offer a flexible schedule and can provide your dog with plenty of attention. They will be supervised at all times during the stay. I am available for daycare services from Monday to Friday, 9AM to 6PM. Additionally, I am happy to offer overnight boarding or weekend visits upon request. With my flexible schedule and personalized care, I can ensure that your pet feels safe and well-cared for in my home. Your pet will be in a safe and comfortable environment in my home. I have a fully fenced backyard with grass for your dog to enjoy. If needed, I also have a comfortable crate, a baby gate, and a playpen to provide additional security and structure. I will be present at all times to supervise your dog and ensure their safety. I can let your dog go potty as often as they need. My two friendly dogs are happy to keep your pet company. However, if you prefer, I can keep them separated to ensure a comfortable and stress-free environment for your pet. Safety is always my top priority.

“Victoria did an excellent job watching Milo. While we were gone, she stayed in contact with us and sent pictures and videos. Would definitely recommend her and rebook with her!”
7. Rita T.
“I know Rita for many years, she loves dogs. She had a dog named Countess who meant the world to her. I recommend Rita as an excellent and loving pet sitter.”
8. Nick M.
“My puppy had such a great time at Nick’s! My puppy is still getting used to people but was instantly comfortable with Nick and eager to return to daycare. Super easy to schedule and great communicator. Would definitely recommend.”
9. Cathleen R.
“I was so happy to find Cathleen and scheduled a day care for my coton de tulear Dino. Cathleen was very responsive and provided super clear instructions to make the whole process easy and stress-free. Cathleen and her pup Corey were so nice and calm and friendly to Dino. Cathleen was very easy to work with and she took great care of my usually very hyper dog. I will definitely come back when I am out of town. Thank you Cathleen and Corey.”
10. Shelley C.
“Shelley is one of the biggest animal lovers I have ever met. to Shelley animals are people and she treats them as such. Shelley is dependable and honest. I have known Shelley for over 7 years and anytime any of our friends goes out of town or just needs someone to check on their animals, Shelley is the first to offer. When she watches my dog she makes sure he has exercise and treats him as he is her own. Last time I went to Shelley's house she was dog sitting three dogs and when i walked inside they were all snuggling in bed with her! You would be lucky to have her care for your animal, for sure!!”
11. Amy P.
“Amy is an amazing doggy Mommy!! She lives and adores all animals with her playfulness and attention to detail. She will love your pups equally!”
12. Jenny P.
“So Jenny owns one pug and it’s not like you’re stereotypical one. Her pug is super energetic, obedient, and fit and I think that says a lot about her as a dog owner. She has also taken care of my sister in laws dogs and they own 3 big dogs. She is able to play and take care of them when their owners are away. I highly recommend Jenny since she is both a great dog owner and dog sitter.”
13. Brian D.
“Brian was amazing and we felt so good leaving our pup with him. We got updates and photos and he took our dog to the park twice :) would definitely book again”
14. Alisa H.
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our dog with a stranger. Alisa was quick to answer our questions and gave us peace of mind with her good reviews. Alisa took good care of our Chauncey.”

19. Wendy H.
About: My love for pets is what sparked me to enter the wonderful world of pet care. I have been a dog walker/sitter for 5+ years...mainly for friends, family, and neighbors. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids." I grew up in a household of furry friends ranging from rescue dogs, cats, turtles, fish, hamsters, and birds. I couldn't imagine my life without them. They bring so much joy and happiness to my family's life. I currently work from home and have been married for almost 25 years. I have 2 amazing teenagers (a boy and a girl) who are busy playing high school and club sports. We are a very busy household. We have 1 dog named Stella (Border Collie) and a Cockatiel named Opie. We live in a 4 bedroom house with a backyard and pool with plenty of space for them to romp and play! We can't wait to meet you and your pets :) I currently work from home, but have a very flexible schedule allowing plenty of time to care for your pets. I will work my schedule around yours. I typically care for pets outside of my home for dog walking services or home visits. I follow the direction of the pet owners. Under special circumstances, I will care for pets in my own home on a case by case basis. My yard is fenced in, I have a 13 year old, sweet, and lovable Border Collie (Stella) and a young Cockatiel named Opie. Our home is all tile floors and they have the freedom to roam the house and furniture depending on what is allowed in their own home of course.
20. Todd M.
“Todd was terrific! It was easy to communicate can coordinate a meet and greet. He is very familiar with dogs and made Bean feel comfortable right away. Bean can get nervous in a new environment but Todd put him at ease. He has a large fenced backyard and Bean had a ball running around and playing all day. The pictures Todd took of his daughters petting Bean and giving him treats was adorable! We will definitely be a repeat customer.”
