About: I’ve taken care of puppies, senior dogs, sick dogs, dogs of many breeds and sizes. I currently have a dog of my own as well. I will give your dog all the attention he/she needs. We can play, do basic training, feeding, cuddles, walking, you name it, I’ll do it. I have a dog of my own (Cashew) and he’s super friendly with other dogs. I have 3 different dog beds (see pics) and plenty of toys that Cashew’s willing to share. I will keep an eye on your dog at all times to make sure it’s safe. I will send you as many pics and videos as you’ll allow me to.

“Absolutely incredible experience! Dana made me feel completely at ease and earned my full trust with my two dogs. They were so well cared for, with plenty of walks and fun adventures. I’m beyond grateful for the amazing care and attention they received! 100% would recommend and book again!”


“Lauryn took excellent care of our Gemma. She was very communicative and gave our puppy girl plenty of exercise and plenty of love. We look forward to boarding Gemma was Lauryn again.”


“Bagel had SUCH A WONDERFUL time at Monica’s!! She took great care of our frenchie, he played with Monica’s frenchie and was so happy - big smiles on every photo Monica sent us! She also took Bagel to dog park on Saturday where all dogs had a blast! Monica gave many kisses and snuggles to Bagel, and Bagel was so sad to leave when I came to pick him up. Would definitely come back again, highly recommended!! Thank you Monica.”

“Denise is the best! She has watched Sasha for me a few times now and Sasha always is well taken care of and very happy! She keeps me updated and goes out of her way to make it a good stay!! I would 10000% recommend her to anyone looking for a good sitter”


About: I'm a grounded, patient, and nurturing person who truly enjoys the company of dogs. While I may not have a backyard, I more than make up for it with frequent walks, park visits, and plenty of 1 on 1 attention. I believe in creating a calm and loving environment where dogs of all ages and energy levels can feel safe and relaxed. One of the things I’m most proud of is helping my own rescue dog grow from a timid pup, afraid of her own shadow, into a confident walker who loves the outdoors. That experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and empathy. Skills I bring to every dog I care for. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me with their furry companions, knowing I treat them like my own. Whether your dog loves adventure or prefers a slower pace, I’ll tailor their care to make sure they feel right at home. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets the time and attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether it's going for relaxing walks, offering plenty of pets and affection, or just being a calming presence nearby, I love having a furry companion as part of my routine. Your pet won’t just be “watched” they’ll be part of my daily life. I live in a cozy, pet friendly apartment with my sweet and well behaved female dog. I create a calm and welcoming environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible. Whether that means timely meals, regular walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. I’m attentive to their comfort, keep a tidy space, and ensure they feel at home while in my care. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family.

“Bryndon was terrific with Rome. We needed a new sitter for a 5 day, 4 night stay and Bryndon took the time to get to know Rome beforehand, asked excellent questions in preparation (as well as answering all of my questions), and handled Rome’s separation anxiety with being away from us flexibly and creatively so this was relieved quickly. Bryndon also communicated clearly and was entirely receptive to feedback. By the end of the stay when we picked Rome up, I could tell they had formed a bond and Rome has a new buddy in the nearby neighborhood. I’m so glad we met Bryndon. His jokes and updates on Rome were amazing , especially since I love humor and silly puns. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Bryndon for drop-ins, walks and future stays.”


“Michelle has been great with our dog!! She has taken very good care of him, keep us posted all time with videos and pictures of him and showed truly care for him. Totally recommend!”


“Priscilla was absolutely amazing with our Millie. Millie’s a senior dog and needs meds and lots of TLC. We will definitely be having Millie stay with Priscilla again!!!”


About: I've taken care of puppies to senior dogs, I approach each one with the same love, patience, and attention I’ve given to my own pets over the years. I mainly work from home and my wife is also home full time. This means your pet will never be left alone for long periods—we’re able to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard where the dogs can run and play. I can also put up a guard if your dog can't go up and down stairs.

“We are so grateful for Angelica! She genuinely care for our dog, Bella, and it shows. During our time away, we received frequent updates and adorable photos, which made us feel at ease. When we returned, Bella was happy and healthy! We highly recommend Angelica for anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter. Thank you for your amazing service!”


About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages—rambunctious puppies, playful adults, and sweet seniors. I previously owned my own dog and now work closely with domestic and wild animals at an animal shelter, where I’ve developed the ability to build trust with new pets quickly. My home is currently pet-free, so I’d be thrilled to host your dog and give them my full attention and affection. Whether your pup needs structured care, medication, or just extra belly rubs, I bring patience, intuition, and genuine love to every visit. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and consistent care throughout the day. I was recently laid off and now work limited hours outside of the house, so I spend most of my time at home. This makes pet care a perfect fit for my lifestyle—I truly enjoy the companionship and having a pet around keeps my routine joyful and active. I'm able to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs your pet may have. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax and feel at ease. My home includes central air conditioning and heat to keep pets comfortable and safe during peak seasons, and there’s an elevator available for animals with mobility issues. I take time to build trust with each pet, follow their routines closely, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you're away. Your pet will be treated with the same love and care I’d give my own.

“Andrew was the best person we could have chosen to watch over our Pup! We were away for a little over a week and we have a very big and very playful and stubborn 1 year old Rottie. We were so nervous about leaving him and having limited cell service during our trip but our worries were immediately at ease once our pup met Andrew. He was instantly drawn to him. Once we left, Andrew Kept us updated EVERYDAY with pictures, videos and messages. He Kept Ash super active with his runs and Ash was SO happy and could not stop playing! He worked with him on so many things and kept his mind busy and happy! We are beyond grateful to him! He was so patient and loving and we were able to really enjoy our trip with peace of mind and that, is priceless! We will definitely be choosing him to watch Ash again!”


“Raymond was excellent with Benji, and gave regular updates on how things were going. Benji enjoyed his weekend with Raymond and we will definitely be booking again. Thanks so much!!”


“Rigatoni loved staying with Christina and her family. Christina is prompt with timing, great with dogs, and sends plenty of pictures during the stay! Would recommend.”


“Juan and his family took great care of our dog while we were out of town for a week. He was quick to respond to our messages and provided us with updates as to how she was doing. We would gladly use his services again in the future.”


“Kira had such a great time at Maureen’s for her 2 night stay! Maureen gave Kira lots of attention which we appreciated since Kira can be a bit anxious. Maureen also watches Kira on a regular basis for doggy day care and is always great with her! We would not hesitate to have Kira over for a future stay!”


“Layla was great with our dog. She asked questions about his needs and sent us updates with pictures throughout the day. He was very happy and we will definitely use her again.”

Catherine K.Star Sitter
“I cannot recommend Catherine highly enough! From the moment we met, it was clear that they are not just a dog sitter, but a true dog lover with an incredible understanding of canine behavior and needs. Their years of experience really shine through in the thoughtful care and attention they provide. What truly sets Catherine apart is the fact that they also have a dog of their own, which means they know exactly what it's like to entrust someone with a beloved pet. Their home is a warm, dog-friendly space, and my pup immediately felt at ease, but also with their sweet, well-socialized dog who made the perfect playmate. Throughout the stay, Catherine kept me updated with daily photos, videos, and little notes about how things were going. It was such a relief to know my dog was not only safe and well cared for, but genuinely happy and having a great time. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, go above and beyond with communication, and provide a safe, loving environment, Catherine is the one. I wouldn’t trust anyone else!”

Celeste G.
“Celeste watched my brother’s dog (Benji) who is terrified of even stop signs. It was incredible to witness first hand the way she helped him feel safe and confident. Whether is was sitting with him during quiet moments , going for walks, or giving him time to adjust at his own pace, she made sure he felt supported. Riley is just as laid back and respectful, which made the whole experience better. If you are looking for someone who will treat your dog like family and understands that every dog has their own personality, Celeste is your person.”

Mia V.
“It is my pleasure to refer Mia to Rover. Her knowledge and expertise on caring for all animals not just dogs and cats is expansive and inspiring. Mia is focused on the animal's specific personality and individual care needed for a comfortable time away from their people. I love the update photos and videos! She is serious about pet care, this is not a hobby. In her free time she volunteers at an animal shelter to share her love and affection with animals that are truly in need. Mia is the best fit for your pet’s needs and your piece of mind.”
