“Super happy with how communicative Loren was. She was patient with my little princess and spent a lot of time playing with her. I will definitely recommend Loren as well as book her again!”


“Ashley took amazing care of our two kitties while we were on our honeymoon. We were able to have a stress-free trip knowing we could count on her to be there twice a day to feed them AND spend time with them! I will definitely be booking Ashley next time we go away, and you should too! She’s very sweet and intentional with animals. ❤️”


“My husband and I knew upon meeting Tara for the first time that she was the perfect fit with our cat, Charlie. Charlie is very shy and usually hides when people come to visit. However, this was not the case when Tara entered our home. Tara did a top-notch job taking care of Charlie during her drop in visits over a period of one month. We were so happy when she sent up pictures and updates. Tara is reliable, kind, professional, and a true animal lover. Cats can be messy with the litter, etc. But with Tara on the job, we came home to a very neat home and well-fed, content cat. We will definitely seek Tara services again. Furthermore, we highly recommend her. Thanks a million, Tara.”


About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as friends and family dogs for years now. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, as well as all personalities. I am familiar with low energy and high energy breeds, and know how to cater to each of them. I also specialize in dogs that have anxiety as well as reactivity, and know how to monitor their behavior and understand them in a way that most humans and other animals do not. I currently work full time, Monday-Friday so all animals would need to be able to be home alone for around 8-9 hours during the weekdays. My current hours are 6:30am-3pm, so I make a point to be available in the morning before I leave for work, and then after I return from work. This also applies to drop-ins. I make a point to be fully available on weekends since I am away often during the weekdays, but am also home early enough during the week that I can spend the afternoon, evening, and night with your furry little ones. I will care for your pets by following the owners’ and pets’ needs, I never stray from instructions. I will ensure safety precautions are always taken, as your animals safety is my highest priority.

Each day, I ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Whether it's a morning walk or playtime in the yard, I make sure they’re always happy and comfortable. I am attentive to their individual needs, providing them with a routine that keeps them healthy and active. I also make sure the dogs have fresh water at every visit. Above all, I believe in building a strong bond based on trust, love, and mutual respect, making sure they feel safe and loved every single day.

“Lynsey is an excellent choice for any pet owner who wants their pet to be well loved while they're away. She takes the time to make your pet comfortable, gives all the pets and even took care of our crested gecko! Lynsey is a true lifesaver and we were able to rest easy knowing our cat Lynx was in her responsible and knowledgeable care. Thank you Lynsey!”


About: Animals have always been a big part of my life — I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and currently have two dogs and three cats of my own. I started pet sitting and house sitting at just 13 for neighbors and family friends, and over time I built a small network through word of mouth. Over time I have taken care of many pets with many different needs and personalities. Whether it’s a cozy cuddle session or an energetic walk, I treat every pet like they’re my own. While I work full time during the week, I'm available after 4 PM Monday–Wednesday and after 5 PM on Fridays. My weekends are wide open so you can have worry-free coverage while you're away! When caring for pets I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being above all else. I follow any specific instructions you provide, from feeding schedules to medication administration, and keep a close eye on your pet’s behavior to ensure they feel happy and secure. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and make sure they get plenty of love, exercise, and mental stimulation. Communication is key, so I keep you updated regularly with messages and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s trust and safety are my top priorities.

About: I'm available to provide the best care for all your furry (or fur-less), scaly, and or feathered friends. I understand that each pet has unique needs, from daily walks and belly rubs for dogs to creating the perfect habitat for reptiles and keeping your cat’s world enriched with toys and cuddles. I offer compassionate care tailored to your pet’s specific personality and requirements, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away. No matter the species, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, with lots of attention, patience, and of course, treats! I'm currently working and going to school part-time, but feel free to reach out and I'll see what I can do to help you out! I always prefer to provide care in your home, and will treat your home, property and of course your pets with the upmost respect. In addition to caring for your pets, I am happy to bring in the mail or delivered packages, and provide other random services at your request as needed. I may be able to provide boarding care in my home with notice on a case by case basis provided your pet is house-trained and gets along well with my personal pets.

About: I've taken care of variety of dogs and cats. When living in California I took care of two senior Dachshund with a series of medications and injections. I am also great with younger animals, I love to play with them and work out their energy. I’m currently working full time as a health care worker Monday through Thursday 7:30am-4:30pm and 7:30-12:00pm on Friday. I am available for walks, feeds, pop ins outside of those hours. My time is more flexible on weekends! Ask me about a day and I will do whatever I can to make it work! I will make sure all the pets needs are met. Water bowl refills, plenty of play time, feedings if needed. Overall safety for your pet is my first priority! I have had digs of my own with tons of energy. I currently have a senior cat and a kitten (two ends of the energy spectrum) I will treat every animal like my own.

About: Throughout my years in high school I was a caretaker of 3 dogs and 2 cats after school everyday of the week. I grew to care and love these pets like they were my own. I had so much fun taking them outside for their daily walks and playing catch around the yard, it was the best job I have ever had because it was loads of fun! Unfortunately, I had to retire my pet sitting job when I went to college back in 2012. Now I work from home and would love to start pet sitting again. I live in a house with a big backyard so it is the perfect place to play catch with them and I live in a residential area that loops around perfect to go for a nice walk too! I am available to start immediately and I am available every day of the week. Looking forward to hearing from you! I work from home so I am able to be home to watch, take them out and play with them most of the day. I work from 3-9pm but have several breaks in between. My yard is partially fenced in but I take safety very seriously when it comes to my own dog, so I will be just as safe with yours as well!

“Angela is a friendly and caring dog sitter. She is able to work with our dogs who have lots of energy and who can be nervous around new people. She is a true animal lover. Her willingness to accommodate last minute bookings has been incredibly helpful. We will continue to use her for our pups!”

About: I have worked in veterinary medicine since 2017 (and still do) work at a specialty hospital! Caring for animals comes natural to me. Having the background and knowledge in this field will help you to feel confident with your loved ones in my care. I work a very flexible schedule, and I am available on the weekends as well. Plenty of play time. Lots of walks, naps & snuggles. My Rudy boy and I run together, I take him to the dog park on the weekends and if we don’t get too we absolutely MUST play ball or tug of war and we’re outside in the yard. He is crate trained and is comfortable there during my work hours and is on my bed at night. I will fit the needs of the client based on their lifestyle. Whatever is most comfortable for clients is the care I want to deliver all of which can be discussed. I hope to make the time spent away from your baby stress free knowing he/she is getting all the love and attention from Rudy and I. Photos and videos included of course!

About: I have taken care of puppies, old dogs, cats, lizards and more pets since I was a young girl. My best friend trusts me completely and only when it comes to her cat care. I love animals deeply and I truly care for the well being and happiness of pets and animals. I am a positive person and good communicator. I have a very flexible schedule as I work hybrid and do not have responsibilities to be home every night, so I am very happy to stay over and a very trustworthy candidate. I can also take periodic breaks for walks and care through every day. I would provide astute attention to both the safety of another’s pets and homes. I would never put another’s home or pet friend in jeopardy and have a high level of respect for people and animals alike! I am good at following instructions and providing a high level of care out of love!

About: Hi everyone, I’m Amanda! Currently a stay at home mom raising my 5 and 6 year old human children, and my 7year old mix and crazy kitten! We’re all avid hikers and nature lovers, being outside is our absolute favorite! I grew up having dogs, mostly mixes and rescues, so I know how to gently approach pets that may have trust issues or who may be shy. With our mix having husky in her, I know all about high energy and how to get them relaxed and sleepy! Walking, running, and hiking are what we use to personally exercise our dogs so I can make sure whatever works best for your pup is what we’ll do! If needed I can be open to at home boarding, but I would first need to be sure they’d get along with my dogs :) Thank you for reading! I'm currently home full time with my kids in school, so I'm available from 9A - 2P (depending on distance) and after 5 during the week, as needed on the weekends. We have a large yard, and lead available for dogs who may need it. Currently our dog does well to stay on our property, she loves walking down to the brook for a dip!

She is always working to educate herself better on dogs and how to make sure they are safe and comfortable. I have never worried about leaving my animal in her care.”


August "Rusty" N.
“I enthusiastically recommend August, AKA Rusty, for any and all pet care needs. Rusty loves and cares for every four-legged friend he meets. Rusty is a kind and compassionate person. He is a dog advocate. One of my puppers is selective when it comes to liking humans, especially men, but he loves Rusty. I feel at ease when Rusty is interacting with my dogs as I know they are in good company. I would not hesitate in trusting Rusty with my four-legged family members. Dogs live their best lives when Rusty is around!!!”

She is punctual, responsible, and genuinely care about the dogs she works with. What I appreciate most is the peace of mind I get knowing my dog is in good hands. Alyson provides updates after every walk, is attentive to any changes in behavior or health, and treats our dog like their own.

Jesse R.
“I’ve known Jesse for a couple decades now. As a person: you can’t do better or get better. He cares, a lot. He’ll listen and express with compassion. He’ll be there, period. As a dog person?!: forget it, give them ALL to him. He’s fostered and adopted from every walk. Because he loves to. Because he needs to. Jesse has had bird children, dog and cat children, and he is the most responsible pet parent, giving them all the love attention, accessories, character appropriate toys, and play and walk time to suit their individual needs. I hope you find what you need in a care person, but I hope you try Jesse out, you won’t regret it.”


Alexis T.
“Trustworthy and Reliable! Alexis is an honest and responsible caregiver for our our 2 senior doggies that are 18 & 16 yrs old.

She has even got the extra mile to send us pics and videos while we were out of the country. HIRE ALEXIS! She is the last Rover resource you will EVER need...”
