“Kelli was wonderful with my dogs overnight, she sent updates and I could tell our babies were well loved while we were gone. We will be using Kelli for pet-sitting for our future vacations!”


“Ashley was fantastic with our fur babies. They got lots of love, snuggles and pets. I got pictures along the way which gave me comfort. She’s very responsive to messages. We will definitely hire her again.”


“Carly is one of the most patient sitters we met. She gave our dogs time and love. They never felt more comfortable with any other sitter. I would recommend her to anybody who needs their pups taken care of. She was amazing taking care our pups at our place and considerate of their many quirks and needs.”


“I absolutely love Linda. She took such good care of my 2 kitties & dog. They even seem to be a little more well behaved. I had one cat who would sometimes bully my dog (lol), but he isn't doing that anymore. Linda was also very helpful & took great care of my home. I'm looking forward to having her help out again.”


“Clare was fantastic! Ernie was well taken care of even if he was a little nervous with me gone. Clare gave him all of the attention he needed to get comfortable. Upon returning to my home, everything was clean and just as I left it. I really appreciate her taking both great care of my dog and my space.”


“McKayla kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. Buster, who can be a bit needy, warmed up to her quickly, and Trixie absolutely adored her! It was obvious they were both happy and loved while in her care. We highly recommend McKayla to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter. She treated Buster and Trixie like her own, and we’ll definitely be asking her to watch them again in the future!”


“Stephanie was great! She stayed over with my 3 senior dogs and took such great care of them! We coordinated a “meet and greet” beforehand and I could tell instantly that the dogs loved her. Would definitely recommend!”


“Chelsea was INCREDIBLE! We could not recommend her services more. Chelsea took great care of our senior pup and paid meticulous attention to her many needs. She sent tons of picture updates, kept us up to date on everything, and left our house immaculately clean. We will definitely be booking her again in the future!”


“Zoe was wonderful with our two puppies. She made sure to ask all questions and really get to know our dog’s personalities. She was so caring and loving. We have anxious pup who doesn’t like another dogs so she paid close attention to that. She was very respectful to our schedule for the pup and really made sure to follow. She was a great communicator also. She was giving plenty update for us anxious parents. I would recommend her to all our friends.”


“Did an amazing with our high maintenance dogs. She was on top of everything and asked questions. Sent so many pics and made us feel so comfortable”


“J was very kind, calm and attentive to my dogs. She communicated to keep me informed and at ease while nervously away from my pups. Asked questions if something seemed off and sent me photos of my dogs enjoying belly scratch’s and time at the dog park! 💯 recommend!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little, they are so beautiful, I enjoy being around them and making them happy like they deserve Im a medical assistant and work until 5pm, I am available after that time to be with the pups and the whole day on the weekends I always keep an eye on the dogs and make sure they are safe, always follow the owner directions they know the pups better that anybody

About: My fiance and I previously worked for a toy dog breeder and groomer. She is studying for a degree in Zoology and I am studying to become a vet myself. We have handled many types of animals and treat them all as our furry, and sometimes scaley, little friends. We are students and work part time, but there will always be someone home and available. We are both open to long-term schedules or just the occasional night or walk. I have a dog park, a fenced yard, and an unfenced yard. I also go on daily jogs/walks that your pet would be more than welcome to join in with me. Between the two of us it would get plenty of love and outside time in the park or on the beach. Dogs get access to a fenced back yard pretty much all times of the day as long as one of us is awake. I also go to a beach almost every evening and will take at least one dog with me for my jog. Creating a safe and comfortable environment, meeting basic needs, providing enrichment and exercise, maintaining health and hygiene, and respecting individual personalities are what I strive for with my own pets and will extend that to others as well.

About: Hi, I’m Leigh! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently share my home with a lively mix of dogs, cats, and reptiles, so caring for animals is second nature to me. From feeding routines and playtime to administering medications and giving plenty of snuggles, I have hands-on experience with pets of all kinds and personalities. Over the years, I’ve also become the go-to pet sitter for friends and family. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or just keeping pets happy and comfortable while their humans are away, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets, young pets, or animals who need a little extra attention, and I always follow care instructions closely to keep them on their routine. I work nights and have a flexible daytime schedule, which allows me plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether your pet needs a quick walk or some midday companionship, I can be there when it matters. If your pet is staying with me, they’ll be welcomed into a calm, pet-friendly home with plenty of space to relax—and a small yard for fresh air and outdoor time. Our home is peaceful and safe, and I make sure visiting pets feel right at home. I know how important it is to trust someone with your animals, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether you have a playful pup, a shy kitty, or any other critter in need of care, I’m here to help—and I’d love to meet them! I currently work nights at 5pm, 5 days a week with every Wednesday and Thursday off. So I have all of my days free to take on some pets while their humans are away I have a fenced in yard and 2 large dogs who are friendly, and a spare room of separation is needed. We also have a cat so our dogs are accustomed to being around one.

“She’s so great! I would definitely book again 😊”


“Maria was wonderful, highly recommended! I think she spent more time with them during our week away than we do when we’re home. She sent us messages with updates daily and pictures to put our minds at ease. She took great care of our property as well…she was there when TS Debby came through.”


About: I’ve had dogs since I was very young. I have even bred Huskies. My last furry friend of my many beloved pets recently passed at age 14 and I’m feeling the void. My dogs have all lived long and happy lives. I retired in 2020 from an outside sales and marketing position with a major insurance underwriter and have been working with Rover ever since. My time is now my own so I can entertain your dog! That being said, I strongly feel senior dogs over age 12 do much better in their own home environment while the owners are away. I’ll be happy to let them out 3-4 times a day but would like to be reimbursed for my gas. I have a nice 1800 sq.ft. home with a fenced in area with doggy doors and a great, safe neighborhood to walk your pet in! I keep a very clean environment for my furry guests and require they be bathed prior to drop off and on current flea treatment . 🤗 I’m retired and have plenty of time to give your pet my attention, play time and walks. I always enjoy having pets join me to watch tv. Your pet will have free roam in tiled areas of my home and a huge screened area to explore birds, squirrels and lizards. They must be crated at nighttime for sleeping.

About: Pets are like family. They need love and attention too. I have a way with dogs and can help with training pups too. I like cats and other animals as well, but specifically have had dogs my whole life. I'm an esthetician, working part time. I have shorter shifts on Tues and Wed in the afternoon/evening. Sunday is my long day I'd have no availability. I can do walking, brushing, feeding, and some training. Leave a list of preferences, and where to find essentials, and I'll get it done with allotted time within reason.

About: Hi, I’m Megan and I have 7 years experience house and pet sitting experience. I am comfortable with all sized dogs and cats. I work full time, but I am able to care for your pets before and after work during the week and all day Saturday and Sundays! I can do drop ins, take your dog on a walk, go on runs, and take your dogs to the dog park. I can also brush your furry friend and administer medication. Should a thunder storm roll in, and your pet requires a thunder blanket or anxiety medication, I’d be happy to drop by and provide that care (provided it’s not during work hours). I can also provide light housekeeping so you return to a clean home :) I do work full time, but I am available for drop ins/walks/accompaniment before work and after work (9-5pm) as well as anytime on the weekends! I do not care for pets in my own home due to my two cats, but I follow all direction and instructions from the pet owner as a best practice :)

“Bethany and Aaron took care of our dog while we were on vacation, and, incidentally, while we were away Hurricane Ian hit. They not only made sure our apartment was prepared for the storm but they took in our girl and kept her an extra night when we couldn’t get home right away! We really appreciate all the ways they communicate with us and their flexibility! And of course the excellent way they treat our girl!!”

If you're looking for someone truly caring and trustworthy to watch your furry friend, look no further!”
