“Zoe did a fantastic job of taking care of our goldendoodle. Her communication was excellent and she took great care of our home too. Loved the photos and updates she provided! We highly recommend Zoe for dog sitting!”
“Madison did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs. She even went the extra mile and took one to the vet as soon as she could when he got sick. House was left in great shape and she cleaned up very well. Wouldn't hesitate to ask her to watch our dogs again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I can play with them, pick up after them, bathe them and make sure they’re happy and well fed. And I can take the dog on short or long walks and make sure they’re happy and safe. Also for house sitting I’ll make sure the house is clean and any messes the dog makes is cleaned up as well I’m a student at an online university, but I am taking a break from perusing my BS in forensic accounting. So I have plenty of time to watch your pets. I have two dogs that I take care of with my family. And they are well cared for and I play with them throughout the day and feed them when they need to be fed.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, mine and others, since I was little! I volunteered for the humane society in high school and I loved it! I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I work part time, so my schedule is flexible! I will work to spend as much time with your furry friends as possible. My dogs are so spoiled, and yours will be too. I have no problem hanging with them all day, I love going on walks, and of course the occasional pup cup.
“So Diane is absolutely the best dog sitter we have ever had. Our elderly dog (Puddles) ended up having some medical issues while Diane was taking care of her, and Diane did an outstanding job taking care of our Puddles during this time. Puddles is doing fine and we truly appreciate Diane keeping Puddles. We highly recommend Diane taking care of your pets. She is someone you can trust! Thanks again.”
“Nickali was fantastic with the dogs. We had never left them with someone before. The dogs were happy to see us, but were just as content with Nickali. It was a huge relief. The fact that he sent us pictures also helped. We will use him again.”
About: With years of experience in high-end dog training, sitting, and walking, I offer more than just pet care—I provide expert, personalized attention for your dog. I understand canine behavior on a deep level, ensuring your pup feels safe, engaged, and loved while you're away. Whether it’s reinforcing good manners, going on structured walks, or providing calm companionship, I treat every dog like my own. I currently work from home with a flex work schedule, which makes me available for pet care anytime. I can work my schedule to be tailored to your pets needs. I have a large back yard and dogs of my own to keep your fur baby company. For walks, I tailor each to your fur baby’s needs, spending more time outside with high energy dogs, and taking shorter walks for older pets. All walks and care come with the most snuggles.
About: Loving and pawsitive sitter, I make pet sitting fun and exiting while following the pets/ owners needs and requirements. I have been around animals my whole life and have a few of my own. I am confident in my ability to provide a safe, loving, and simulating environment for any pet in my care. I’m currently working mornings Monday through Friday until around 2pm. I am able to overnight sit on weekends, and if needed can sometimes work it into my weekday schedule. I can walk and sit dogs throughout the week any day after 2pm. I meticulously follow instructions, while maintaining a safe environment. I provide companionship and enrichment to your pet while respecting the home. Also providing communication and updates (if wanted) on your pets care.
“Paige was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter/ dog walker for our dog Ozzy! She was very communicative and flexible and sent lots of pics which I just loved. Will definitely go with Paige again. Just a sweet, conscientious, trustworthy person overall 😍”
About: Hello there, fellow animal lovers! I’m Maddie, your friendly neighborhood animal enthusiast. I have a dog of my own, Dutchie is a German shepherd mix. I am capable of administering medication if applicable and friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and provide overnight stays with their animals. I currently work full time Monday-Friday 7am-4pm. I am available for overnight stays preferably Friday-Sunday but I am willing to accommodate your needs. Just let me know! Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I will make sure to check in with you and provide lots of photos to let you know your babies are in good hands.
“Jordan was wonderful! Great communication before and during her care for our dog and cat. She regularly sent us pics and let us know how our anxious ones were doing while we were away. I definitely would recommend her and will book with her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child and enjoyed every minute of them. I provide a caring atmosphere to keep them calm and make them feel at home. I currently work part time with a very flexible schedule. Would love to watch your pup short notice or scheduled notice. They can stay a short time or for the weekend I have a six acre yard with a sweet dog who will keep your pet company and active. Lots of places to walk or chill
“Dannie was amazing. This was my 1st time using Rover or having a sitter in my home. Dannie kept me updated throughout the day as well as sent lots of pictures. It was reassuring knowing that I didn't have to completely disrupt my fur baby's daily routines while I was away. Will definitely be using Dannie again.”
About: I take the time to get to know each dog, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need. I offer flexible walking hours to fit your busy lifestyle, so your dog always gets their daily stroll, even if your schedule changes. I specialize in small group walks or solo sessions to give each dog the undivided attention they deserve. I make sure every walk is fun and engaging experience, building a strong bond with your dog while they get plenty of exercise. I typically start my day with morning walks, which helps energize both me and the dogs. Depending on the dog, these walks may be more leisurely or faster paced to match their needs. If you have a busy schedule, I would fit in midday walks or potty breaks to make sure your dog stays happy and active. After a day of work or activities, evening walks can help dogs burn off any extra energy before bedtime. I would create a pet friendly area with comfortable bedding, toys, and access to fresh water. If a pet stays over for awhile, I’d make sure they have their own quiet space where they can retreat if they need rest.

Mason M.
“I can’t recommend Mason highly enough when it comes to dog care. From the very first meeting, it was clear that he genuinely loves animals and understands their needs. My dog, who’s usually shy around new people, warmed up to him almost immediately—a true testament to Mason’s calm and caring nature. Whether it’s regular walks, feeding, playtime, or just spending time keeping my pup company, Mason goes above and beyond. He’s reliable, communicative, and always treats my dog like his own. I never have to worry when my dog is in Mason’s care, and that peace of mind is priceless. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about dogs, Mason is the one!”

Sophia G.
“Sophia has a shitzu/yorkie mix named Yevani and she spoils that baby. Yevani has her own little wardrobe with so many dresses and different outfits. Sophia takes her on regular walks and plays with her daily, and yevani plays with the other pets at her house. Sophia is a fantastic pet parent and would do wonderfully helping others with their pets.”

“Maddie was our saving grace. My family booked a trip to FL and our dog sitter at the last minute canceled on us. Maddie came through and gave a 5star service. She went above and beyond what was expected. I knew my dogs were in good hands when I met Mattie at the meet and greet! We have an elderly dog and was nervous about his wellbeing when we were gone. I truly think our dogs want to be with Maddie more ;)!! 5 star A+ service”
