Christina is such a sweet and caring person whom I trusted completely with Harley. She took care of him for 3 separate days. She was prompt and followed my instructions and sent updates and pictures throughout the day. She was available for all the days I needed her for. She was courteous and kept everything in my home neat. She is such a pleasure to work with, and I know Harley was so happy to see her. I definitely plan on hiring Christina again when I need someone to take care of Harley. Thank you!

About: I've had dogs my whole life and have also been around cats too. Im very patient, understanding, loyal and trustworthy. I love all animals and would love to help anyone out that needs it. My schedule is flexible and usually can work on last second notices. I would love to get to know you and your pet so everyone can lead a happy life. I work full time as a High School teacher during the week but have time after the school day is over and on weekends to come by. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats at my house. The backyard is fenced in and I have it set up like a dog park. My dogs would love to play in the backyard with other pets. My 2 cats are inside cats and are scared of everything. They rarely come out when anyone new comes to the house. I could come to your place to walk, play and feed your dogs but I could also pick your pet up and bring them to my house for a play date in the backyard (once everyone feels comfortable, of course)

Veronica is a loving, caring, knowledgeable, trustworthy, reliable and experienced pet sitter. In addition, Veronica came through for us 5 days before we were going away for my Step-Sons wedding. Our original sitter had a family emergency so I looked on Rover and found Veronica. She immediately answered when I requested her as well as came over the very next day for a “Meet and Greet”. Upon meeting her we instantly felt comfortable with her staying at our house with our baby,Marlee,for the weekend. She took such good care of her! Marlee needs eye drops 2 times a day and Veronica had no problem administering them twice a day. She walked, feed and played with her all weekend! She kept us informed and sent pictures of Marlee too! We had peace of mind knowing our little love was in such good hands. We highly recommend Veronica to take care of your fur baby!!

Kasper was absolutely phenomenal with my dogs. From the moment we connected, they were communicative, thoughtful, and clearly experienced. They treated my dogs like their own. Patient, attentive, and genuinely caring. I received consistent updates that put my mind completely at ease, and when I came home, my dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. That says everything. It’s not easy to trust someone with your pets, but Kasper exceeded every expectation. I would not hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and responsible dog sitter. Thank you, Kasper!! you’re truly amazing!

About: As a retired professional, I bring reliability, patience, and a calm presence to every walk. I’ve been a dog owner of two large breeds and one small breed. I have hands-on experience with doodle breeds and their unique personalities. I understand the importance of safety and health. I’ve cared for dogs with medical needs, so I’m comfortable with monitoring, medications, and giving extra attention when needed. Whether your dog loves a brisk walk, a gentle stroll, or some extra cuddles along the way, I treat every pup like family because that’s what they are. As a recently retired police officer, I currently work part-time so my hours are flexible and will have plenty of time for your fur babies. I will treat your home as if it were my own. I will safely walk your dog on leash, and can easily crate your dog, if need be.

Calm and friendly, Margaret was just what my pups needed as they experienced their first long car ride and hotel stay for a family funeral. She was very receptive to our dogs' needs and behaviors, and I would recommend her to anyone needing care for their fur family.

About: I had the pleasure of owning a Golden Retriever for 13.5 years. During that time I trained her, socialized her with other dogs, and gave her a loving home. I learned the different needs and characteristics of the breed and how to handle larger dogs. I'm also knowledgeable on common AKC guidelines. I work remotely Monday through Friday, which gives me flexibility during the week to care for your pets. On weekends, I sometimes have events for my small business and love spending time with family. Please feel free to message me your preferred times — I’m happy to work something out that fits both of our schedules! I strive to create a comfortable environment to accommodate your pets needs as much as possible. I'm adaptive, flexible, and willing to work in a variety of different situations.

About: Not only do I have my own dog I also am a dog foster. I fostered 12 dogs within 2 years. I also have volunteered for 3 years at a rescue. When my neighbor broke her hip I volunteered my time to walk her dog three times a day. I want to do this to help people in my community and am always there for the helping hand. I do have a dog and sometimes foster dogs so I am available morning and nights. I am flexible and will work with dog owners. I have done dog sitting for neighbors and fosters at my rescue on some occasions. I will be willing to do that as well. It is done at their home.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years, not only my own but friends and family as well, through pet sitting, house sitting, walks, feeding, medication administration, and overnight care. My long-term goal is to become a veterinarian, and I’m currently training to become a veterinary assistant/tech while continuing my education in animal medicine. Caring for animals is something I’m truly passionate about, not just a side job. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, high-energy dogs, shy pets, and multi-pet households. I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I currently have a pretty flexible schedule. I work at a veterinary clinic around 4-5 days a week, with most days being pretty flexible hours. I’m available for walks, drop in’s and house sitting during most weekdays and weekends. I’m very reliable, responsive, and understand how important consistency and routine are for pets. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. With my veterinary assistant training and future career goals in veterinary medicine, I pay close attention to animal behavior, health, routines, and stress levels. I am comfortable administering medications when needed and handling pets calmly and patiently. I will always treat your pets like family and your home with respect and care.

About: I have always owned a dog, my mom used to breed dogs so I always was around them. I have been taking care of animals since I was little but I would say for the last 10-15 years I actually did dog watching and would watch my grandmothers friends dogs at her house and would also drop in as needed. I have 3 dog babies and they are exactly that, big babies. I rescued all 3 from a rescue as puppy’s and my pitty was a runt and now is a big boy! I also have fostered dogs and helped my sister with her fosters. I can help with basic tricks but I’m not a professional and don’t claim to be! I have lived and taken care of some senior dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs from puppies to senior. I am also comfortable giving meds if needed, I haven’t had to give a dog an injection but I am willing to learn if you are willing to teach! I currently work fulltime as a unit secretary at the hospital, I can leave during my break for an hour. I work 7am-330pm and I am free most evenings after work. I also work every 3rd weekend so I am available on my off weekends. But the weekend I work I am not available because I work 7a-7p. If your pup needs some extra time to get used to people I am more then happy to come over before you book and meet them to make sure I can help make you and them as comfortable as possible. I am comfortable walking 2 big dogs at a time and 3-4 smalls dogs at a time. I don’t mind updating you as much as you need as they are your babies just as mine are to me. I put Shrek and Harry Potter on for my boys so they don’t get lonely during the day. I also make sure anything they can get into that might hurt them is away, and I make sure they have their collars on as well as double checking doors are locked. I am very accommodating so it never hurts to ask questions to see if it’s something I can help you feel more comfortable!

About: I have such an affinity with dogs. I always emphasize the importance of earning their trust before anything. This makes me a genuine caretaker towards all animals. Except birds. Absolutely not lol. I do have on-call nights as a funeral director, which does make it tricky for a strict schedule. I am always looking for ways to earn money and meet others! I will always treat your home like my own. I never leave a mess and I am always mindful of others’ space. I am never one to turn down extra tasks, such as cleaning or tidying up.

Lisa was amazing! She was communicative and so kind to my elderly guy. When I learned that my cat needed daily medication I thought I'd never be able to travel, but Lisa completely put my skittish cat at ease. She made it easy for me to enjoy my trip because I knew my cat was in great hands!

Kasper exceeded our wildest expectations! They kept us informed and included in all our pets happiness and activity (We loved their videos and snapshots!). If anything came up Kasper contacted us, and even made helpful suggestions! Fish, pup and plants all very happy and healthy. We think our dog has indicated she'd prefer Kasper to us! She (the pup) seems to keep looking for Kasper, though she does settle for us at mealtime. GREAT job!!!! Highly recommended!!

Joe was AMAZING!! He was so thoughtful and attentive to our sweet senior girl and gave us total peace of mind while we were away! He even fed our fish and offered to water the house plants - what a total gem! He stayed at our home and was super clean and conscientious. He clearly cared very much about our fur girly and we are so so grateful to have found him. I cannot more highly recommend Joe! If you are looking for someone and landed here, search no further! Thank you again so much Joe for all your help, we would absolutely request his help in the future (:
