About: I've cared for dogs since childhood and have not been without a dog in my household for over 20 years, love playing, walking and lounging around with my four legged companions! I am currently working a hybrid schedule with some flexibility on days in office. I am home most of the time as I have a toddler and fur baby at home. All dogs in my home are treated as my own; there are toys, ample walks, park time and healthy treats for good behavior. Routines work great for my dog so I am happy to continue your routine for your pup.
“Michelle was awesome! She was very detailed and took pictures for us during her visit. She was very pleasant to talk to, followed directions to a tee, was on time and friendly! We would definitely use her services again and would recommend her to other pet owners.”
“Jennifer was a fantastic dog walker & carer for our pup who stayed home while we went away. She was open to meeting with us prior, to form a bond with our anxious dog, who warmed up to her instantly! For once, we felt at ease travelling without Kobe. Jennifer also administered his medication everyday with no hiccups and stayed in contact with us daily, which made us feel very reassured. Not only would I recommend her services — we look forward to Jennifer watching Kobe again in the future. If I could give 10 stars I would! ??”
“Tara deserves 10 stars for going above and beyond for my 5 cats - keeping everything super clean, bringing in mail when it was supposed to be on hold, and keeping the cats comfy at home. She allowed me to have a worry-free getaway.”

About: I have 5 years of hands-on experience as a veterinary assistant in an animal hospital, caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. From energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets with special needs, I’m confident handling a wide range of personalities and medical needs. I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and attentive care, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own! I currently attend college Monday-Thursday during short morning or afternoon hours; typically in class between 8am-12pm or 2pm-6pm. I also work overnights as needed on Fridays and Saturdays (3 shifts a month). When caring for pets in your home, I follow their routine exactly to keep them comfortable and stress free. I make sure they’re safe, well-fed, and get plenty of attention, playtime, and love: just like if you were there.
About: As someone who has personally cared for six dogs at once—including different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels—I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, calm, and cared for when you're away. I’m naturally organized, reliable, and attentive to routines, whether that means scheduled walks, feedings, medications, or crate time. I treat every pet with the same respect and attention I’d give my own. Whether it's a high-energy pup who needs playtime or an older dog who prefers quiet companionship, I adapt to what your dog needs most. I also keep communication clear and consistent—expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind. If you're looking for a responsible sitter who respects your home and genuinely enjoys caring for animals, I’d love to connect. I have no problem taking special instructions from owners being that some breeds need to be taken care of differently. Dogs have always been special to me and being a dog sitter/care giver is a great opportunity. I am currently unemployed so my schedule is pretty much open at the moment! I prefer the mornings over afternoons but whichever the customer prefers. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize comfort, routine, and respect—for both the pet and the space. I stick closely to your pet’s usual schedule, whether that includes feeding times, walks, crate time, or medications. I give pets plenty of attention and play, while also being mindful of their energy levels and boundaries. I always clean up after myself (and them), and make sure your home is just as you left it—or better. I check in regularly with photo updates and am available if you have any specific instructions or changes. My goal is to keep your pet feeling safe, relaxed, and loved while you're away—without disrupting their normal environment.

“Caty provided excellent care for my senior dogs during her overnight stay. Knowing my boys were not alone and well taken care of eased my mind. They took to her immediately during our meet and greet. She provided updates and pictures throughout the day. I will definitely reach out to her the next time I need a dog sitter and I would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and know how much love, patience, and attention they need. I treat every pup like family and adjust my care to match their unique personality, whether they’re full of energy like my husky Reina or a little more selective like my nephew Leo. I believe dogs deserve more than just being walked or fed. They deserve companionship, play, and positive interaction throughout the day. My daily routine with Reina includes regular park visits, practicing basic commands, structured walks, and, of course, treat-time only after earning it! I’m strict about cleanliness and always pick up after the dogs in my care. Whether your dog is shy, sassy, or spirited—I have the experience, heart, and energy to make them feel safe, loved, and entertained. Think of me as your pup’s cool auntie who’s all about hugs, structure, and fun! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I walk, play, and train with my husky Reina every day, so adding more pups feels seamless! I enjoy spending my mornings and evenings outdoors, and weekends are perfect for longer walks or park visits. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the week. Whether it’s a quick check-in or extended playtime, I make sure every pet gets the love, interaction, and attention they deserve. Caring for animals brings me joy and helps balance my day with purpose, energy, and lots of wagging tails! In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines. I keep pets calm and happy by following their usual schedules, providing plenty of exercise, cuddles, and mental stimulation. I stay in communication with pet parents, send updates and photos, and make sure their home is left just as I found it. Clean-up, poop pick-up, and proper pet hygiene are always a top priority. I aim to make every pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free.

Taina C.
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Taina to care for my 4 year old Frenchie. From the moment I contacted her, she demonstrated professionalism and a genuine love for animals that immediately put me at ease. She arrived exactly on time and asked detailed questions about my dog’s routine, preferences, and any specific needs he might have. This attention to detail reassured me that she was committed to providing the best care possible. Throughout our interactions, her kindness shone through. She spoke gently to my dog and made an effort to engage him in play right away. It was clear that she understood how important it is for dogs to feel comfortable with their caregivers. Her warm demeanor helped my dog relax quickly, which is often a challenge when introducing new people into his environment. During her time caring for my dog, I received regular updates and photos that showcased their activities together. It was heartwarming to see how much fun they were having! She took him on long walks, played tug with his favorite toys, and even worked on some basic training commands. My dog seemed genuinely happy and well-cared-for during her visits. I cannot recommend Taina enough. Her promptness, kindness, and ability to connect with my dog made all the difference during my time away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet with love and respect while ensuring their needs are met, look no further!”

Kathleen M.
“While I was away on vacation Kathleen watched my two cats Sara and Gabriel. My cat Sara was sick at the time so we were very nervous to leave her but Kathleen eased my worries and stayed at my home for a weekend. She administered medication for my cats thyroid in her ears and fed my cat Sara by hand. She gave me updates everyday on how my cats were doing! She changed the litter boxes, fed them treats, and even took out my garbage! Kathleen is the best and highly recommended her for any type of pet care services!”
Adriana D.
“As first time pet owners, coming home with a stray kitten felt dauntingly overwhelming. Adrianna was the epitome of professionalism and approachability in helping us navigate this new role. She was concise, clear and caring in helping us through the transition. Luna is a healthy and happy addition to our family and we owe that to Adrianna’s knowledge, care, and love for animals.”

“Justin is reliable, timely and very good communications during my trip always keeping me updated I will use Justin’s services again Thanks”
Haili D.
“Haili watched our two English Bulldogs for 6 nights/7 days and to say she was amazing is an understatement! My dogs are not easy to handle and she did it like a pro. My 68 lb male loves walks, he's really strong and can really pull and she had no problems handling him three times a day. Being bulldogs, they have plenty of medical issues and she literally handled all forms of meds including eye drops, ear drops, pills and even oral meds via syringe (lactulose for anyone who has a baby w/ stomach issues) and she did all this with no problem or pushback. She was very attentive and responsive when we checked in while giving us our space and not reaching out for every little thing so we can enjoy our vacation. She left the place just like we left it and cleaned up well considering my female vomits a lot and uses wee wee pads for all her bathroom breaks. She was very professional and sweet and I'd highly recommend her for any pet walking or sitting!”
Jasmin D.
“Jasmin’s love for pets goes above and beyond. She is nurturing and loving. As a very reliable and trustworthy worthy person I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter.”
Brandon S.
“Brandon is an incredible pet sitter—responsible, caring, and trustworthy. He truly goes above and beyond to make sure pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. Brandon has a natural way with animals; they warm up to him quickly, and he takes the time to understand their routines and personalities. I felt completely at ease knowing my pet was in his care, and I came home to a happy, well-looked-after companion. I highly recommend Brandon to anyone looking for someone reliable who will treat their pets like family.”
Caty F.
“Caty provided excellent care for my senior dogs during her overnight stay. Knowing my boys were not alone and well taken care of eased my mind. They took to her immediately during our meet and greet. She provided updates and pictures throughout the day.

Sara took such great care of our pets while we were away. She is kind, caring and responsible. She included several photos from each visit and her communication was excellent. I would absolutely recommend her and will be contacting her in the future for sure!!!
Michelle agreed to pets it for me with a little notice. I was nervous because I’ve only had one pet sitter before and she’s been with my animals for a while now. However, Michelle and her attention to detail completely blew me away. She was so communicative, sent so many pictures, and before and Afters of the litter boxes, and the food. I felt completely at ease and when I got home, she had even cleaned up after my pets, so I came home to a tidy apartment. I am so thankful for finding her and now she will always be my first choice for pet sitting!! Thank you, Michelle, You are the best.
Heather is an absolute life saver! Heather was able to care for my furry friend last minute and delivered professionalism, as well as comfort to my pal when I was not able to tend to him. My dog is so pleased with Heather and she is trusted in my home when I'm not around for Simba. I have rebooked with Heather and would recommend her to anyone and everyone! What a great Rover partner; thanks again!
Jose is an excellent cat sitter. I have three cats, and he was incredibly friendly with all of them. He communicates frequently and keeps you informed of any issues. Additionally, he ensures your home stays clean and just as you left it. I highly recommend his services!
Day 1 leaving our puppy home by herself was such an easy good day because of Durell. 🥰 She’s timely,‘communicative, loving, and very helpful/does anything I suggest or ask of her. Will keep using Durell & Michael again and again for our pup, Scoobie… She loves Durell, as well!
Zachary was an awesome cat sitter. He even got my persnickity princess to accept treats and pets from him. (And she's very selective about who is allowed to pet her.) He is kind, caring and communicative. I absolutely plan to use Zachary again when I need someone to watch my girl.
