“I ended up needing someone to let my dog out on short notice and Julia was super accommodating. The pictures and check in updates gave me peace of mind. I really appreciate the care and attention she gave my dog.”



“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than David! From the moment he met our dogs, they bonded with him instantly and were genuinely excited to see him each day while we were away. David’s communication was outstanding—he kept us consistently updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear he genuinely cared for our dogs and made sure they felt loved and comfortable in our absence. He also treated our home with great respect and care, as if it were his own. We highly recommend David to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and professional sitter. We will definitely be reaching out to him again in the future!”


“Really impressed by Carissa’s above and beyond approach when it came to looking after my two cats! She did everything as instructed and was very kind and caring towards my cats. Appreciated and looked forward to reading her detailed summary of each one of her visits and view all the pictures she would send me!”


“Leila was a fantastic cat sitter for us. It’s difficult to leave a pet for three weeks but having Leila gave us tremendous peace of mind and allowed us to more fully enjoy our time away. We returned to very happy and very healthy senior cat. I would not hesitate to use her services again in the future.”


“Caroline came in a saved the day! I had a last minute request and she was very prompt to respond. Caroline was timely and sent pictures. Will definitely ask for Caroline's services in the future!”


“Kelly was wonderful! We were in a scramble after our initial dog sitter had to cancel, and we’re recommended to try Rover very last minute, and we were lucky enough to find Kelly. We have an older dog who is pretty anxious, especially with new people. She was able to set a meet and greet with us and our dog prior to us leaving. This put us and our dog at ease. She provided updates everyday that we were gone and photos of your pup too! I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone who needs a reliable and trustworthy person to watch their pet.”


“This was our first experience with Rover. Kristin did a great job dropping in to visit, feed and let out our new puppy. I loved the photos she sent! We will definitely book her again.”


“Shelbi is absolutely amazing and so communicative about even the small details. I know my pups are in good hands when she comes by to drop in or walk them! I definitely recommend using her and she is my go to each and every time!! Thank you Shelbi for being you and taking such great care of Frank and Beans ;)”


“Audrey is my go-to every time I need someone to watch my cat. She sends the cutest pictures and updates. She is also great about communication around when she’ll be dropping in, if there are any changes to her schedule, etc. Thanks again Audrey!!”


About: I’ve never owned a dog myself, but I’ve lived with roommates who have and consider my brother’s dog to be one of mine. 😎 I’ve been the go-to dog sitter for other friends of mine for years and I’ve always loved spending time with dogs. I am currently working a part time job, mostly on weekend mornings, and I’m looking to do as many walks as I can throughout the week - Tuesday-Thursday is usually the best, but can typically find a way to make other days work I am not planning on having dogs at my place, but my apartment does have a dog park right outside my building. In terms of visiting other homes, I will always keep a close eye on dogs and make sure to follow whatever rules are in place.

About: I bring not just experience, but heartfelt understanding. I currently have two young, energetic dogs and had the privilege of loving my previous senior dog. That journey taught me the full spectrum of pet care-from playful puppyhood to the tender needs of aging companions. I work full-time in healthcare, mostly from home. With an internet connection I can work almost anywhere. My dogs are rarely left at home for more than a few hours and never left alone overnight. I give that same time and energy to your pets. I will follow whatever guidelines you prefer within your home. Whether that’s crating, sleeping on the bed, or their own special bed. I take frequent walks (if desired) and do not leave pets outside unattended.

About: Hi, I’m Caitlin and I’m 30. I’m currently an engineer working from home. In my free time I would love to help out you and your dog! I know how busy life can get. I'll be more than happy to come stay at your house and keep your pets company. I'm also willing to feed other animals if you have them, and take care of the house. I'm also available for holidays or special circumstances, so don't hesitate to reach out. I'm excited to walk or even run with your dog! We will have a great time. I have experience with dogs after all types of surgery, dogs with seizures, and various medication. I'm willing to help out recovering dogs and any dogs that need special care. I'm also personal friends with my vet, so if there is an emergency, I can call him anytime. My days and schedules vary, so I can be flexible to fit your schedule as well! I can let out your dogs during lunchtime for the longer days or work, or even dinner time for the fun nights out. Let’s chat about what you need. I am familiar with crate training and also dogs that are allowed to roam the house. I’m flexible with all dogs needs, whether that means medication, endless playtime, or a blanket at night. I can handle big and small dogs confidently.

“Suzanne did a wonderful job with our fur babies. Our girl cat can be cranky or a sweetheart and Suzanne knew how to bring the sweetheart out of her. She sent delightful photos of Peanut rubbing all up and down her leg in greeting and running around the house excitedly playing or having zoomies. We knew our cat was in good hands with her from the very beginning - just a vibe - but she proved to be responsible, attentive, and definitely went the extra mile to make sure we knew Peanut was being loved, food and maintenance was being taken care of, and that our other pets were also safe.”


“Maria was amazing with our cats while we were away! We have an older cat that needs to be fed twice a day for health issues he has. She was always on time with feedings and took extra time to play with the kitties and keep them company. Would definitely rebook with Maria and recommend booking with her to others!”



About: I've had dogs since I was 8 years old and am a lover of all animals. I have had my own dogs since I graduated from college in 2017 and they have been the light of my life. I currently have a 6-year-old female black lab named Nellie, who gets along with most dogs. I would require a meet and greet before boarding to make sure they get along. I regularly care for friends' dogs and enjoy playing fetch, going for walks and cuddling. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, so I am aware that they may have unique needs. I work from home 3 days of the week, and on the days when I do work from the office, I am only there for half the day. I have plenty of time at home to spoil your dog and care for their needs. I have a fenced yard and plenty of room to run around the house, as well as a lot of toys. My house is big enough to separate the dogs if they need some space/time to themselves, and I have a crate that I can use if you would like me to. My dog and your dog will not be left together unattended, and feedings will be done separately.
