“Abbie was great. She went above and beyond for my kitty that needed three different medications. She took such good care of my girl and I felt so good knowing that I didn’t have to worry about her on my vacation. My house was left clean and I came home to a happy cat! I would recommend her to anyone. She took her job seriously and gave me updates and sent photos/videos everyday. Thank you Abbie!”


“Elizabeth did a fantastic job with my mini zoo. It brought such peace of mind having a dependable person to care for them when I couldn’t be home. In addition to 2 Labradors, I have a temperamental mini pig that she handled very well. I highly recommend Elizabeth for any of your pet care needs ❤️”


About: I have been part of a dog family since I was 9 years old. Several friends and neighbors have used me as a repeat sitter - I even took care of little doggies in diapers :) now I have several years of pet care experience through Rover. I also have my own dog, a teenage Aussie named Witten, who I’ve cared for the last couple years but who is currently being fostered with a friend who’s home is more suitable for him during my transition to the cities. When I care for your dog, I am communicative and will make sure you receive regular updates (unless you want me to leave you alone!) I’m not afraid to ask a question to make sure I’m always doing the best for your pet. I will go above and beyond, cleaning up trash, vomit, accidents, as needed. I want to work with you to give you the most peace of mind possible that your pet is in good hands. I’m recently moved to the cities and in the job search now, so I’ve got lots of flexibility to care for your pup on their schedule, and/or to stay with them for a meaningful amount of time during the day. My priority is making sure your pet remains feeling safe and cared for while you’re gone. I stay in tune with your dog’s needs so if they need to be calmed, or played with, or cuddled, I’m there for them. My approach is to help them feel loved while also making sure they know I am in charge so they can be safe with me.

“Xinia is an excellent dog sitter! She meets my anxious dog at her level and goes above and beyond to ensure her comfort and trust. Xinia is very reliable and I just know my dog enjoys seeing her! I will definitely book her again 😊”


“This is our second time asking Julia to check on our cat while we were away, and she took such excellent care of him! He’s so excited when she stops by, and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing he was well looked after.”


“Kelly is reliable and responds quickly. This is the second time she has cared for our cat while we were out of town. We will definitely use Kelly again if she is available!”


“Kaylee was nice enough to accept our last min request to watch our dog Sully over Memorial Day weekend. She was punctual and would send us updates on Sully everyday. She was great with him considering he’s newly adopted and still quite shy. We will hopefully reach out to her again in the future!”


About: I have been a dog owner for over 50 years and understand first hand the importance and peace -of -mind that comes from having a trusted provider care for my pet when I am working or on vacation. I am an active senior and love having a dog to walk and for just plain old companionship. I have a Havanese/Shih Tzu (23 pounds) who is very sweet and good with other dogs. He likes to play and is even willing to share his bed with visiting dogs. Since I am retired I have a flexible schedule and live near a large city lake with a walking path. And if your dog has special needs I am certainly able and willing to accommodate. Please feel free to contact me with specific questions or concerns.

“Elyse is awesome!! Her communication is top notch, and I love coming home to happy pups. I appreciate that she took the time to come over the night before her first visit to meet my dogs and get the run down of everything.”


About: I’ve had the opportunity to love and care for dogs most of my life. I grew up with an energetic yellow lab and a little sheltie. I currently have a 3yo black golden-doodle named Bear who loves attention and any activity outside. I love being able to train and grow with Bear. We currently live in an apartment with my girlfriend who Bear and I couldn’t live without at this point. We’re excited to meet your put and give them an enjoyable experience. I currently have one dog who I take care of daily. Most days he hangs out alone in our apartment unless I work from home. We go on daily walks, enough potty breaks for him and play in the apartment together. Pets are apart of our family and each pet is different. We have an extra kennel if a pet requires to be kenneled during the night and provide structured meal times for them.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. From birds to cats and dogs. Growing up we used to breed shepherds and had a little maltipoo around the house. I like structure and schedule but I will love your animal like they’re my own so I can form to the schedule they need! I do have 2 toddlers, they have very well dog trained since we do have a dog ourselves but we do request all pets are kid friendly. I work full time partially from home. I am able to take the dog out whenever needed, and I do have a dog park near me! I am able to do middle of the night let outs in needed as well! I am a worry bug so I will always make sure your animal is okay! I will give them all the love I can and make sure they have food, water and lots of time outside!

About: I've had cats, dogs and rabbits . Services include dog bathing, daily walks, litter cleaning, brushing, outdoor playtime in my large fenced in yard & lots of affection! I work Mon-Fri cleaning residential homes so I will typically be away for 4-6 hours during those days. I soend much time at home on the weekends.

I also have a very friendly 9 year old cat to keep your fur baby company. I offer drop in visits , dog walking, or overnight care in my home..

About: Hi there! I work fully remotely and would love to give all my attention and companionship to your best friend while you're away. I truly enjoy computer breaks for leashed walks through my dog-friendly neighborhood trails—it's the best part of the day! I’m still missing my sweet 15-year-old boy, Jax, who passed recently. Caring for dogs has always been second nature to me, and friends and family often trust me to look after their pups. I’d love to be that trusted person for you too. Whether it's a weekend getaway or a longer trip, your dog will be safe, loved, and well cared for with me. Available weekdays and weekends. Work from home weekdays 8~5. Up early and attentive to night time bathroom breaks. No fenced yard but lots of green areas and trails for long walks. Lots of room to roam with no kids or other animals at my place but can make it work to watch at your place if you need that accommodation. Dog friendly home with amenities to make your pet comfortable. Experience caring for dogs with anxiety and stomach issues too.

“Ashley took great care of my large and small dogs. She is experienced and knew what kinds of questions to ask to ensure they would have a great experience while I was away. She was very helpful and I had peace of mind.”

Madelyn S.
“Madelyn is a kind and nurturing person. She is a very patient person who loves all kinds of animals and they all love her. Her energetic self would do great with any animal, whether it's going for a walk or just throwing the ball around outside for a little bit. She will always take the best care possible of any pet she is around.”


Jennifer P.
“We've used Jennifer for years watching our pup during vacations. She along with her kids treat our dog like family. When we arrive home from our vacation, our dog is no longer as excited as she used to be seeing us. Our dog misses her kids, her daily walks, and her new found friend the cat. This new found relationship has created us utilizing Jennifer throughout the month when work pulls my wife and I away giving our puppy more time with her. Having Jennifer in our corner has given my wife and I peace of mind knowing our puppy is safe, happy and getting her steps in. We couldn't recommend her enough. Bonus, she loves cats as well. This is not how our cat feels about people, however, when Jennifer shows up our cat runs right up to welcome her to our home.”


Deborah A.
“Debbie is a life saver!! She loves dogs and I have always had so much faith that when she watched my dog she took care of it as if it was her family. She took my dog on plenty of walks and snuggled up with her on the couch. Can’t say enough good things about Deb watching our beloved dog!!”


Ashley & Dianna A.

“Ashley took great care of my large and small dogs. She is experienced and knew what kinds of questions to ask to ensure they would have a great experience while I was away. She was very helpful and I had peace of mind.”
