“Lynda stayed with our dog and two cats for 5 days and the experience could not have been better! Well before her stay, she visited two separate times to orient herself to our home and to be come familiar to our fur babies. We absolutely loved this approach because it showed how much she is in tune with both human and animal needs. Communication during her stay was great and included daily messages and photos. Additionally, we were thankful to come home to a very clean house. We highly recommend Lynda.”

“Leslie did a wonderful job with my big guy over the weekend! He adored her and he got lots of snacks and play time. She sent lots of pictures and I was able to enjoy my weekend away knowing my dog was in good hands.”

“Emma was the best! I will definitely be using her again. She sent updates and pictures on all the little adventures she took my Stella on. Can’t say enough great things! Highly recommend.”


About: Hi! I’m a calm, reliable pet sitter who works from home, so your pet will have consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible, so everything feels familiar while you’re away. I take a patient, low-stress approach and adjust to each pet’s personality—whether they need playtime, extra attention, or just a quiet, relaxed environment. I recently added an automatic ball launcher and what may be an unreasonable amount of Chuckit balls to the entertainment lineup. 😂 If your dog loves fetch, they’ll probably think they’ve won the lottery here. Between walks, playtime, enrichment, and supervised lounging, I try to make sure every dog has a fun and comfortable stay. I’m experienced with medication schedules (my own dog takes medication twice a day), and I’m very consistent with timing and care instructions. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different energy levels, including seniors or pets that need a little extra attention. I build pet care around each dog’s normal routine and energy level. I make sure pets get consistent attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and downtime throughout the day so they feel comfortable and settled while they’re with me. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and supervised environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, potty routines, exercise needs, and any special accommodations. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel informed and reassured while they’re away.
“I was so lucky to have found Vickie to sit with my two pups while I was on a long trip. I had never left my dogs with anyone before and was so nervous until I met her. She was so kind and met my pups ahead of time to make them comfortable. She was very trustworthy and I knew I could enjoy my trip knowing they were in excellent hands. I would recommend Vickie to anyone and was so thankful that she took such great care of them. She really went above and beyond and sent me updates just to see how they were doing. Thank you Vickie for everything!”

“Briauna was wonderful! She stayed with both our dogs for the weekend. She sent pictures and kept us informed all weekend about the dogs! Will definitely rebook next time!”

“Rachel was amazing! This was a very last minute request and she accommodated and was very flexible. She took amazing care of my pup and kept me well informed and updated with photos, even though I didn't have service and kept getting them at weird times it was great seeing my baby boy and know he was doing good when I did. I would absolutely recommend and use Rachel again!!”

“We had to book someone to watch our 2 golden retrievers very last minute. Jennifer went above and beyond! We had a quick meet and greet to fill her in on the basics and she took it from there. Jennifer kept us informed and made multiple stops to the house even though we just needed an overnight sitter for 3 days. We felt peace of mind that the boys were being well taken care of. Jennifer will be our go to for our next trip.”

“Bri was fantastic! She did such a great job with my dogs. I loved the daily updates, and I felt so comfortable having her stay at my house. Our dogs had a great week with her!”


About: Life-long lover of dogs and cats (used to have a tabby cat myself named Flint). Have pup-sat neighbor dogs for years, as I don't have the residential means to own a dog myself. Previously lived in NYC, so incredibly familiar with making the best out of little, including small spaces, sidewalk etiquette and clean-up, and general social interaction with other dogs/humans. I'm currently in between jobs and taking some time for some self-exploration. Recently moved here from Manhattan to be closer to family, so when I'm not playing Aunt Sarah, I'm career planning and networking. Your home is precious, and I treat it accordingly. I respect preferences and requests, as I'd expect the same in return. I spent years babysitting and dogsitting while working through graduate school, so I have lots of experience in residential expectations.
“Jacen did a fantastic job!!! We booked for 6 separate nights for stay overs at our house and everything went smoothly. Jacen is flexible and even watered our plants and took down some trash while we were gone. The cats were well taken care of and the communication was excellent. Highly recommend Jacen!”

About: i have taken care of animals all my life from dogs, cats, lizards, and birds i will make your animal feel loved just like if it was my own pet im currently working part time at a dog grooming place so im not busy so i have time to walk and take care of your animals when needed. i have a huge yard for my six dogs where we go out when it’s nice out to play ball and run to get some energy out of them and we have a separate room for their crates so when we leave we put them in crates so they don’t get into anything
“Karen was awesome! She stayed at the house during the recent snow storm and she went above and beyond. We didn't have to worry about a thing. Beckett was sad to see her go. We will definitely be using her again.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, worked at kennels, and currently care for pups at Camp Bow Wow, a dog daycare. I’m experienced with all kinds of pets from cats, dogs, reptiles and treat every animal like my own — with patience, safety, and love. I care for dogs weekly through my job at Camp Bow Wow and love spending my extra time helping other pets too. I’m flexible and always make time for walks, play, and check-ins. I don’t host pets in my home, but I’m completely comfortable caring for them in their own environment, where they feel safest. I make sure they’re well-fed, walked, played with, and given plenty of attention. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely so they stay relaxed and happy while their owners are away.
“I can’t say enough good things about Teresa. We wanted someone to stay in our house and dog sit our rescue dog while we were on vacation. From the first moment we met Teresa we had confidence that she was the right person. Teresa arrived for our meet and greet with a thorough questionnaire that proved her earnestness to provide quality care for our dog and our house. The entire time we were away, she sent videos and photos that gave us peace knowing our dog was in good hands. We returned home to a happy dog and a tidy house. I highly recommend Teresa. Your pet will love her and you will too.”

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life, my parents have a blue heeler/husky mix currently that I take care of weekly, walk and love. I have had experience with puppy’s, abandoned dogs, foster dogs and senior dogs. As well as over 20 different breeds. I have walked my neighbors dogs my whole life and want to help out others and give pets the love and care during the day that they deserve! I do have a full time flexible job that is work from home. I am able to set my own schedule and I am able to help those and their pets who don’t have as flexible of a schedule and that’s what I am here to do! I have a safe neighborhood dog walking friendly. Or usually choose to walk dogs where their owners usually take them so they are comfortable while walking or being taken care of by a new face! Try to keep everything as normal as the pet is used to by their owner.

This was our first time using Rover. We have nothing but positive feedback for the service, if all dog sitters are like Paige. She responsibly cared for our dog and our home during our absence. She performed all duties as expected. She was punctual and had a great attitude as well
