“Sterlin, was so great! This was my first time leaving my fur baby at someone’s home and I felt so comfortable. I got plenty of updates throughout his stay! Loved seeing him play with other dogs. All in all I know he was in safe hands and would highly recommend :)”
“Ashley was everything we needed for our excited 7-month-old Dolly. She was excited to go back everyday for daycare. Came home safe and happy each day. Great communication. Cute pictures. Positive attitude. An ideal experience”
“Michael is amazing with dogs. Our Rupert is a bit of a handful and Michael was amazing with him. He also gave us some training tips!! Would be so lucky to have his again and would give 10/5 stars if we could!!!”
“It was so nice to be able to drive my husband to the eye specialist and be able to go in with him. I know that Jeffrey had a wonderful day hanging out with Denise and didn't miss us for a minute!”
“Marci and her family were wonderful in looking after Parle! To make us feel comfortable, she even invited us to her house beforehand so we can see her backyard and area where Parle would be spending his time. She provided pictures throughout the day to keep us updated. We feel comfortable with Marci. ??”
“I cannot thank you enough for providing such kind, gentle, and attentive care to our puppy while we were away. Puppies can be a handful, but you made her feel right at home with lots of treats (including your own!), plenty of playtime, and a large dose of patience and understanding. Your extensive experience working with dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments really showed. She was so relaxed and happy when we returned. Thank you also for sending frequent (hourly!) updates with photos. We felt completely at ease while she was in your care. We would be thrilled to work with you again and enthusiastically recommend you to others.”
“Kateri was wonderful with our 5 month old lab puppy! You can tell she really cares about dogs and is very experienced, kind, and professional. We would definitely have her take care of Wally again!!”
“Karrie has been our beloved dog sitter for years. First time with our new dogs. I felt totally comfortable leaving them in her care. They came back cheerful and tired! Usually they pull me up the staicase, this time I could keep up with them. They had a lovely time at the beach and Karrie showed us videos of them romping joyfully!”
“Andrew was a real life saver today. After an unfortunate last minute cancellation from another dog sitter, Andrew took my dog in less than 10 mins and had him almost until 7pm. This allowed my family to spend an extra 6 hours of our last vacation day at the beach and boardwalk. I can’t thank him enough for being so kind and taking care of Blaze so well. I would recommend him and use him again anytime.”
About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats! Dogs that are more trained and have troubles with eating during given dinner hours! I have lots of experience with shy cats and anxious dogs, given my cat has been very shy towards others, and my dog is incredibly anxious! While I do have more experience with cats, I am as much of a dog lover as I am a cat lover! Currently also trying to look for a part time job, but my schedule is all around free besides on super early mornings, weekdays are fair game for me as of right now! Same with some weekends if given prior notices! I will follow any given guidelines and rules to anyone I will be having my services given to! I am a very clean person, especially with animals! I will follow any given diets or routines with what ever critter you may have in store for me!

“Shannon clearly has a way of connecting with animals. We have a 3 month old puppy who instantly meshed with her and remembered her a week after our meet and greet. Shannon was also very easy going and relaxed around our puppy. Her home is lovely and welcoming. Shannon is also extremely professional specific, especially around navigating the Rover site. I definitely recommend Shannon.”
“We were so incredibly lucky to find Carolyn to watch our senior boy. He had a great time with her and she was so sweet to send us pictures and updates. Knowing he was in good hands made our trip fun and relaxing for all”
About: I have always had pets growing up and my love for them has grown into my adulthood. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for friends, family and neighbors pets over the years. I'm currently working from home and am available everyday of the week for boarding and/or doggy day care. My children are grown and live on their own in their own homes so you can be assured your pet will have my full attention I have a fenced yard and live alone so there's plenty of space in my home for an extended stay and overnight care. I can easily crate your dog when I'm out .
About: Been around animals all my life, they care and love i have and the joy it brings is out of this world. Also as i help care for my grandmom and she has had pets growing up. I know it will bring her joy and will take up her time as she sits in the house, if we dont go out for the day. As i work on the week days, i am availble (if nothing pops up) on the weekends, like a friday night untill sunday night if that will work for anybody. And also i do work in the school system so having weeks off for or a couple days off can change my schedule but for now, weekends are best. If pets need care i am here to learn and help, i do offer a yard (sadly is not fenced) but if on a leash your pet will be taken very care of and we be shown love and care.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including playful puppies and seniors needing extra care. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every pet like family. I'm also familiar with crate training, basic obedience, and tailoring care to fit each dog's unique needs and energy levels. What sets me apart is my commitment to clear communication, safety, and ensuring your pet feels loved and comfortable while you're away. As a graduate student in a flexible program, I’m able to build pet care into my daily routine with ease. My schedule allows me to be home often, giving your dog plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy the balance pet care brings to my routine—it’s a rewarding break from schoolwork and a chance to spend time with animals I genuinely care about. Whether your dog needs structured walks or calm company, I’m here to meet their needs with consistency and care. I have class Tuesday and Thursday at night! I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment in my apartment, where pets are always supervised and treated like family. I keep my space free of hazards, with secure doors and no access to unsafe items. I follow each pet’s routine closely—from feeding schedules to bathroom breaks and playtime—to help them feel comfortable and at ease. I also enjoy taking dogs on fun outings to the nearby parks and dog beach, giving them a chance to explore, exercise, and enjoy the outdoors. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, trust, and keeping you updated every step of the way.

Jamie M.
“Whenever I think of somebody who loves & cares for pets, Jamie would be one of the first people who'd come to mind. She is incredibly passionate about pets and has spent much of her time with furry friends as someone who's both a cat & dog owner & from my time spent generally hanging out with Jamie, she puts a lot of heart & care into not only her own pets, but pets of mine & other friends of ours while treating them the same as if they were her own! Her way of handling cats/dogs & amazing patience of making any animal feel comfortable given the time to spend with even the most energetic or anxious of pets. With her experience, Jamie is someone who is right for pet sitting or pet walking.”
