“This was my first time using Rover and I picked Nancy because of her glowing reviews and repeat customers. Our dog, Radar and I both liked her at meet and greet. We just got back from a week away and was happy to see pictures of Nancy and Radar walking and playing. She followed instructions for his care and we came home to a happy dog and clean home. We will be happy to leave our fur baby with Nancy for future trips.”


About: Hi! I’m Anne, and for over 4 years I’ve been the go-to dog sitter for my friends and their furry family members. I know how important it is to feel confident your pup is in good hands, which is why I make their comfort, safety, and happiness my top priority. The best part? I work from home full-time, so your dog will have companionship, attention, and love all day long — no long lonely hours here! Whether it’s cuddle time, walks, playtime, or just a calm presence nearby, I’ll treat your pet like my own. From energetic pups to gentle seniors, I adapt to your dog’s needs and routines to make their time away from you as stress-free as possible. Let’s make tails wag — I can’t wait to meet your best friend! 🐶❤️ Since I work from home full-time, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life. I’m home during the day for regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, and snuggles — so your dog is never left alone for long stretches. I’m also available evenings and weekends, which means I can keep your pet’s routine consistent even if you’re away for a few days. Whether it’s weekday care, a weekend getaway, or just extra attention for your furry friend, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Because my mom is allergic to pet hair, I’m unable to host pets in my own home. Instead, I provide care in your home (or in the home of a friend, when sitting for them) so your dog can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow your instructions closely — from feeding schedules and walks to playtime routines and cuddle sessions. I make sure water bowls are always fresh, food is given on time, and your pet gets plenty of attention and exercise. I also keep your home tidy, bring in mail/packages if needed, and send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and loved.

About: I started taking care of friends' and neighbors' dogs after retiring in 2024. My lifelong love for cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes is now my daily passion! As an active retiree, I don't have any pets currently, and the house is empty and waiting for my next furry friend! I've cared for everything from dachshunds to a Bernese Mountain Dog. I love cats, but I want to watch them in your home, not mine. Happy to house-sit, work overnight shifts, and care for senior dogs and puppies. Although I don't have a fenced yard, I do have miles of walking trails and parks in the community, as well as an electronic fence for any dogs that need unrestricted access to a yard. I am fully retired and spend my days caring for your pets. Rarely will your important pet be left alone, if at all. I used Rover with my senior dog, Tucker, for over 5 years and met some wonderful people. It was a relief to me when I traveled, knowing my best friend was also enjoying his time in a safe, loving home. Now I meet new animal friends every week, and it feeds my soul and theirs. Your fur baby will have a dedicated sleeping space, feeding space, and unlimited access to our yard, depending on your needs. Full access to the entire house. I encourage you to bring toys, pet beds, crates, and any other items that will make your cherished pet comfortable. We are comfortable giving medication to older dogs, working with young puppies, and customizing our days to fit your pet's regular routines (such as walks, feeding, medication, and brushing). We have access to a private dog park, but we only go there after discussing it with you in advance. Note: we have an unfenced yard but use sound/ vibration to alert your pup if s/he is trying to escape. No electricity involved, just moderate stimulation. Most dogs learn the boundaries very quickly and without any discomfort.

“Love when Christina is up for hanging with the pups. She’s the absolute best! Her care, communication, everything is the highest quality! And she makes it look easy. We love love love her!”

“I can definitely say that after being gone for eight days I was very appreciative for what I came back to. I've had my challenges with the dogs so for someone to come in a take over for a week seemed a little daunting however Yolanda came through with 5 stars... I have no doubt the dogs were well taken care of as all instructions left were meticulously followed and the dogs were definitely well cared for not to mention the house was cleaner then I left it. There's nothing better then coming back from a vacation with well taken care of dogs. Would definitely recommend for worry free dog sitting”


“Majesty was fantastic. Professional, respectful, reliable, accomodating. I felt totally relaxed and confident Jake was in good hands. Majesty sent updates and photos frequently and followed food and medication instructions perfectly. Highly recommended!!”


“Jessica was AWESOME! Typically, our pets are crying at the door when we come home because they missed us so much. But after Jessica watched them for a week, they seemed like they barely knew we were gone! She left the house in immaculate shape, the dog and cat were happy and healthy, and she was incredibly communicative throughout watching them. Will definitely ask her to watch them again- thanks Jessica!!”


About: I got my first dog when I was six, and growing up he was my best friend. I also had lizards, birds, fish, frogs, hamsters, and cats! Ever since then, I have always been passionate about helping dogs and other animals. I've taken care of many dogs and cats over the years of all sizes and ages, and now I want to make this passion my work. My favorite part about taking care of dogs is walking them. I have a Border Collie and know how to handle hyper and active dogs. I have experience taking care of disabled pets as well- I had a small dog that used a wheel chair for years and lived a happy life. All of my friends and family call me first when in need of a pet sitter because they know I'm capable and that I truly care. Whether you need walking, bathing, feeding, or someone to assist with your special needs pet, I have done it all and would love to help! I am available to walk your dog and take care of your pets any day of the week. So send me a message and I will respond quickly! First, I ask pet owners if there are any requirements or concerns to be aware of when I am entering their home to care for their pet. In addition, I always like to know what treats or activities their pets enjoy. For example, during an appointment, I will often greet pets with their favorite treat, check if they need water, take care of any potty or medical needs, and stimulate them with their favorite activity! Before leaving, I make sure I have performed all required tasks requested by the client.

About: I have always had many animals growing up, I've taken care of little dogs and big dogs, over 90 bunnies, chickens, horses, cows, alpacas, goats at once. I lived on a ranch most of my life where I had at most, 40 goats, 4 cows, 5 horses, many dogs, many cats, 30 chickens on average, 10 alpacas. Cats are my favorite animal. I have pet sit before on many occasions. Not that it helps on this app but I have gave medicine, tended to, bandaged, cut out of fences( some animals get caught in fences), and birthed animals. I am very familiar with there needs and have a hard working, loving attitude. I am open to any schedule, please message me for details. Same day scheduling is just alright with me. Scheduling in advance is much appreciated. Open to all animals. When I take care of your pets, I take care of them like my own and with attention to detail. I am loving to them and make sure to meet all of your and their needs. I am respectful to the home and leave it exactly how I entered. Additionally I pick up after them and do any in home care such as cleaning and throwing out the trash if necessary. I stay in contact and respond very quickly for a safe and trusting environment.

“Simone had great communication and was amazingly flexible with our timing needs - during a holiday weekend on top of that! Having peace of mind while away was much appreciated. She was respectful and easy going. Would definitely have her back to watch my mischievous pittie anytime!”


About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. I am 52 years old and began walking my neighbors' dogs and housesitting for friends. When I lost my soulmate Layla after 14 years, I found a big void in my life. Being around animal energy is so fulfilling for me. This is when I decided to offer my love to others fur babies. I feel an immediate connection when meeting my new friends, I look forward to meeting your loved ones! I recently moved to Lake Wildwood from Martinez where I had built up quite a clientele. I work remotely which gives me ample flexibility for play time, potty breaks, cuddles and exercise. I love having company when working. I am told I am a wonderful houseguest as I have so much respect and honor the responsibilities of being a guest in your home. I will leave your home exactly as you left it. I work in the Fitness Industry so your pup is in good hands whether they need a short stroll or a long hike!

“Carly was a more than exceptional pet sitter! She had such a calm, kind demeanor and asked great introduction questions. My three dogs are a bit anxious so it was a gift to have someone like Carly watching them when we were away. She gave us frequent updates and pictures of how the pups were doing and they looked so happy in each photo. Carly is a must for anyone who wants to be certain that their pets are being looked after with the utmost care. Would highly recommend her services and we definitely will be using them again ourselves! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


About: Ive taken care of all sorts of animals all my life. I’m comfortable with all breeds, needs, and sizes. Nothing bothers me. And I can administer any medications as needed! I am currently not working and I don’t have much going on so I have all the time in the world to take care of your fur babies! I used to work at an animal shelter and a boarding facility so I know dogs body languages very well. I can walk your dog as long or little as needed. I can administer oral, topical, and injection medications as needed!

About: I’ve had and cared for a small range of animals my entire life. We’ve always had some combination of dogs, cats and birds for as long as I can remember. I work as a teachers aide during the day but that certainly leaves me plenty of time to care for your pets needs. Any weekday I can be available after 3pm I will diligently follow any and all instructions to ensure the safety of your pet! I have an endless amount of patience and will be happy to accommodate any way that I can.

About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a kid, and even had the opportunity to volunteer at a boarding place when I was 8 where I got to play with, help train and take care of the dogs that came through. I’ve being pet sitting for about 3 years now for friends, neighbors, and strangers I’ve met through others I have previously pet sat for. I’m currently a full time college student and have been needing some extra money to help me get through, so I thought this would be a perfect fit! I have a large fenced yard with two dogs and two cats who my family and I love dearly. One of our cats was actually a pregnant stray who we brought in, and had a litter of 7 kittens!

Dylan S.
“There are people who love animals and there are people who make animals their whole world. That is Dylan. I have never known someone to be as empathetic and caring toward animals as him. He takes care of my cat, Lorelai, regularly and makes sure she is always happy and safe. I have comfort knowing nothing bad will happen to her under Dylan’s care. I am a university student with a part time job, and I have to be gone for long periods of time. Knowing that Dylan checks on her while I’m gone gives me peace of mind. He gives her fresh water, food, and plays with her! She purrs when he pets her. He has a lot of animal care experience, so if I you want someone who will make sure your fur baby is safe, cared for, and happy, then Dylan is the person to call.”

Mindy K.
“Mindy housesat and took care of my golden retriever, Chloe, while we went on a 10 day trip. I was reluctant to leave my sweet dog for that long, but as it turned out, Chloe had the time of her life. MIndy was so consicencious, taking care of all my detailed instructions, pet allergy pills, etc. She and Chloe became best buddies as Mindy took her on daily walks, played with her toys, sat and watched Dog TV with her, and even let Chloe sleep on the bed with her. I received several pictures of Chloe while we were on our trip, reassuring me that she was being taken care of and being loved. When we got home, the house was in perfect shape and Chloe was delighted to see us. MIndy keeps in touch every now and then to ask about Chloe, because they bonded so well, and she misses her. I would highly recommend Mindy for your dog and house sitting needs.”
