“Kathryn took excellent care of my Buddy. She was very responsive and sent many photos throughout the day. He’s not the easiest dog to care for, so I was impressed with how easily he took to her and how well she cared for him. 10/10 would recommend.”


“Karolina was super responsive and very great with Darwin and my house for the week while I was at a work conference. Darwin can’t wait for my next work trip so he can hang out with her again!”


“Repeat bookingbw Patrick! He does a great job taking care of our big doggies (who are a handful) while we are out of town. We always trust that they're ok when he's watching them! Will book again”


About: I’ve grown up surrounded by pets—dogs, cats, ferrets, even lizards—and I’ve cared for a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to laid-back seniors, I treat every animal like my own, with love and attention. I offer dog sitting, walking, and drop-in visits at your home, ensuring your pet feels comfortable in their own space. I carry my own trash bags for walks and provide plenty of exercise, affection, and attention. I also take pride in keeping your home clean and tidy during my stay. Before starting, I always do a meet-and-greet to ensure we’re a good fit and to discuss your pet’s needs. Let’s chat about how I can make your pet feel at ease while you're away! I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate to most pet care needs. I am available on weekdays all hours of the day, as for weekends Friday-Saturday I have full availability however Sunday's I will always have off for self care and cleaning up my home. I provide personalized care for your pets in their own enviornment, ensuring they stay comfortable and safe. I follow their routines, offer plenty of attention, and keep your home tidy. I have loads of energy and can give your pet constant attention

About: I've owned and cared for all kinds of animals my whole life. Professionally, I have experience working as a dog handler, kennel attendant, dog bather, and groomer. I also have extensive experience working and caring for cats, horses, and various small animals. My +3 years working at a dog daycare facility had me safely handling a pack of up to 25 dogs; providing exercise & engagement, soft corrections, and positive reinforcement. To do so, it was necessary to be observant and in tune with the dog's behavior and always on the lookout for any signs of stress or aggression. As a bather and groomer, I was focused on hygiene but a large aspect of the job relied on my knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques. I've owned cats my entire life and have worked with a TNR rescue the past few years getting pregnant females and unneutered male cats fixed and adopted. I also have pet care insurance with animal baliee coverage in case of emergencies. I always care for every animal as if they are my own and I understand how important it is for them to feel comfortable and loved. I work part-time on the night shift, so I'm out of the house between 9:30pm and 3am Monday through Friday. Outside of that- my schedule is flexible. I am available on most weekends and holidays. I only book one client at a time for boarding, so your pet(s) will have my full attention. I live in a quiet suburban neighborhood with a huge, unfenced yard. I own a variety of animal care supplies and equipment including lunge-line leashes to keep dogs safely on my property.


“Maani was wonderful! From the very beginning, she was communicative, professional, and clearly an animal lover. Throughout the entire stay, I received steady updates and pictures of my pets, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I will absolutely be booking with her again — highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring sitter!”


“Jennifer was FANTASTIC! She actually spent time hanging out with my dogs when house sitting. Jennifer even came back over to check on dogs when flight got in late. I will use her again! Thank you!”

“First time using this site. Lisa was great with our 3 large dogs. Two young dogs and a old timer. She came over to meet them. Took her time with them. She was in contact with me while I was gone to give updates. Lisa was kind and reliable. I would definitely recommend her and would ask her to watch my pups again.”



About: I’ve spent the past nine years caring for my poodle, watching her grow from a curious little puppy into my best friend. She is my fur sister. That experience taught me the importance of patience, love, and daily companionship. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and truly cared for while they’re with me. I work part-time, which means I have lots of free time to give your furry friend the love, play, and attention they deserve. I’m available on weekdays from 8 AM to 8 PM. Having cared for my poodle for the past nine years, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and part of the family. In my home, pets have a cozy and secure space where they can relax, play, and enjoy daily companionship. I follow their usual feeding, walking, and play routines to keep them comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick closely to their familiar schedule, so they feel just as loved and secure as they do with you.

“Bailey is a wonderful dog sitter. She listened to all my pups needs and was extremely accommodating to make the overnight stay stress free for my pup, and for me:) She communicated quickly and often, sent pictures and updates while we were gone, which again made my time away much more relaxing. I highly recommend Bailey and will be using her again in the future!!”


“Lauryn is fantastic! She just stayed with my baby for the second time for the weekend. They love her and it feels so good knowing Ginger is happy at him instead of boarding! I’ll have her every time I go away !”


“Stacie was fantastic. Our dogs were impeccably cared for and she anticipated additional needs at our house and asked us if she could take care of them before we asked her. She was a joy and we’ll definitely be asking her again!”


“Stephanie is wonderful! She really took care of Peyton like her own. She is professional and communicates quickly (and I really appreciated the pictures of our pup while we were gone!) I will definitely book with her again knowing Peyton was happy and well cared for!”


About: So far, the longest I’ve taken car of a dog is 10 years. Other than that, I’ve been around many other dogs who seem to like my presence. I currently am part time and my schedule is usually pretty flexible so I can stop in whenever is needed to let the dogs outside or to walk them. I always want to make sure that the animals are comfortable with me so I think a meeting before the job would be beneficial. Any schedule you have would be appreciated and followed to the letter.

“We couldn’t have been more pleased with our experience with Natalie. It was our first time booking through Rover so we were a little nervous, but Natalie’s strong consistent communication and clear experience dog/housesitting put us at ease. The daily pictures and updates gave us piece of mind on our trip away, and we came home to a clean house and a very happy puppy!”


“Ariel did a great job caring for my dog and cat. She sent pictures fir me to see what they were doing. She walked my dog, she loves to go for walks. This is my second time having Ariel stay at my house to care for my pets. I will be asking her again because I am very happy with her care.”


“We couldn’t be happier with the care our two dogs received while we were away! Gabrielle went above and beyond to make sure they were well-loved, exercised, and comfortable. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. We received regular updates and photos, which made our time away even more enjoyable. When we returned, our dogs were happy, well-cared for, and clearly had a great time! We will definitely be booking again in the future!”
