“Hadija was fantastic! She took very good care of Max while we were away. She followed all of my instructions and sent frequent updates in terms of photos and videos. She showed concern when Max wouldn’t eat and even spoon fed him when necessary. I highly recommend Hadija and would certainly use her in the future.”

“Rosanna was fantastic! She watched Sadie for a week in my home and I couldn't have felt better knowing that she was there taking care of her. Sadie took to her instantly and clearly knew that she would be in good hands! Throughout the week Rosanna was in regular communication giving updates and pictures. When Sadie wasn't eating as much and having some tummy troubles Rosanna was on top of it trying some home remedies first and then taking her to the vet to make sure that Sadie was alright. She treated Sadie like she was her own. Rosanna is absolutely wonderful and I couldn't recommend her enough! Your dog will be in great hands with Rosanna!”

“Yana took the time to visit with our family before staying at our home with Charlie. He had instantly taken to her gentle manner which made us feel so comfortable. She exercised patience with his sometimes stubborn but lovable manner. We loved her daily texts with pictures outlining how the day went. I feel at ease knowing she is caring for our Charlie.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and other pets for the past 10 years. This includes my own pets as well are others, such as neighbors, family, and friend’s pets. I have a full time job as a 4th grade teacher during the weekdays. I am available after 4:00 most days and I am available all day on the weekends. I can walk your dog as well as take some time to play, feed, or crate them if need be. I love to get out and get some exercise so I would love to walk and play with your pet!
“We will continue to book Ethan again and again. He took the best care of our large dog, checked in each day, and left the house in better shape than he found it. Super professional, kind, and our dog just loved him. Highly recommend.”

About: Been around dogs my entire life and when I was in high school I got one of my own. A beautiful German Shepherd I named Rocky, who stole my heart. His energy was always high and puppy like, but he was well behaved and calm when it was time to be. He has recently passed, but he lives on in my heart. I raised him on my own from a pup through potty training, chewing, and walking on leash. He would respond to basic and advanced commands also able to walk off leash without running off. I have recent experience with senior care just having gone through caring for a sick and elderly dog. He was around 95 pounds and I was able to help him get around, I’m capable to assist any elderly dog however they might need it. Started my own personal training business, but most people are available after normal business hours. So that leaves me free with large breaks during the day which would be perfect for me to baby sit while their owner is working. My schedule is mostly flexible, allowing for long walks and supervised relaxing, but if any type of emergency were to come up, my partner works from home to administer care and constant love so don't be worried your pet will never be alone. We have a house with a fenced in yard. We can walk, play or just hangout. I like to go on a walk first to make sure your dog is comfortable with me, and I will do whatever is possible to make sure your dog is loved how you would love them. If they’re comfortable using a crate I can provide them with one and a soft bed. I have dog bowls for water and will feed them as often as you prefer. Your pet will be physically and mentally simulated making sure they don’t get bored and are always having fun.
“Brittany was amazing! She watched our three dogs overnight. They absolutely loved her and immediately accepted her as part of their family. She arranged, on her own time, to come and meet the dogs, and me, before she accepted the job to be sure it was a good fit. While we were away she kept us updated by sending us many pictures and letting us know how the dogs were doing. If she had any questions, she asked us for clarification. I would highly recommend Brittany and we will be asking her to watch our pack again I am sure.”


About: My family has had 2 dogs since I was 10 and two cats since I was 14 which I took part in caring for. Four years ago I also got a cat of my own! I have been fortunate enough to also care for pets from different friends and families while they’ve been away! So, I have a lot of experience feeding, playing, cleaning up after and caring for cats and dogs of all different breeds! I currently taking some time off of work before starting PA school over the summer. So I have a pretty open schedule to figure out what works best for you and your furry friends! I am great at following any directions from you to ensure that your pet is safe with me! You let me know what standards and precautions you follow and prefer and I will always abide by them!
“Liana was wonderful and took great care of my dogs. She communicated with me sending me pictures and updates. She followed my care instructions beautifully and my home was clean upon my return. She was also very flexible when our flights were canceled. I definitely plan on using her again in the future. She do a great job!”

“Mike was an incredible sitter for our dog! He was available for a last minute request over the holidays and went above and beyond to take care of our dog! Our dog has a bit of leash reactivity and doesn’t always take quickly to new people - when Mike came by for a meet and greet our dog instantly warmed up to him which gave us so much confidence in trusting Mike to take care of him. He was comfortable and experienced with leash reactivity and navigated walks flawlessly! Would highly recommend Mike! Thanks again.”

About: I have worked with young puppies and senior dogs. I have provided injections and oral medications. I make sure to learn about each dogs preference because like humans they are all different! I currently work a full time job. I am available in the evening hours from 6pm-10pm. On the weekends I am more flexible with my scheduling. I am available to house sit Saturdays and Sundays, just shoot me a message to schedule in advance! I can do drop in visits almost every day, it’s a little hard to make your schedule with rover - if anything please feel free to send me a message to discuss needs and scheduling :) I would hope to create a comfortable walking environment for your little one to enjoy. I stick to your normal walking routes to ease your pets into good walking sessions. At drop in visits I monitor your pet and take time to play with them as well.
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was six years old, and have had the pleasure of taking care of everything from dogs and cats to horses and chickens. I was a member of my counties 4-H for 13 years and competed nationally in events relating to pet care and knowledge. I have also been working on the side for different horse farms since I was 8 years old and have loved every minute of it! Currently I have my own cat and my family has a dog and two other lovely kitties. I’m a vegetarian who loves all animals, no matter what! I take care of every animal I encounter as if they were my own and make sure they know they are loved. On Sundays I spend a few hours volunteering at my local animal shelter as well :) I work a full time corporate office job so any opportunity to get outside is one that I look for. Since my commute from work is only 10 minutes, it makes getting around very easy. I treat my pets like people and always put their needs before my own. I pride myself on organization and cleanliness as well as my ability to retain a lot of detail
“At the risk of writing such a glowing review that Jennifer becomes so popular that she's no longer available to watch our boys, I have to say having her pet sit was an across the board excellent experience. Our prior sitter bailed on us last minute and Jennifer came through with professionalism on very short notice. She came very prepared and took notes on how we like to have things done. The photos she sent every few days of our trip made us very comfortable with the level of care our boys were receiving and made it clear how much they enjoyed her company. I think it's safe to say they are still missing her! I highly recommend hiring Jennifer, and look forward to doing so again soon!”

““Uncle Marc” is Hazel and Penny’s new favorite friend! Marc stayed with our girls while we spent the week out of the country. I was worried about leaving them for so long but Marc took great care of them and frequently updated me, sent pictures, and put my mind at ease. They’re already planning for his next visit 😉. Thanks Marc, we appreciate you!”

About: Hi! I'm Jenna :) I've had a love for animals for as long as I can remember and have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I previously lived and helped care for my sister's baby (my nephew hehe), Blu (a pit bull), and two sassy little kittens. I'm currently in college and can't wait to have a little animal family of my own someday, but for now I truly love pet sitting and would be so grateful to care for your pets like they're my own. I'm especially comfortable with big + high energy dogs, but I truly love dogs of all sizes (I regularly take care of my friend's chihuahua too!). Blu has separation anxiety and is reactive so I'm very used to being patient, attentive, and aware of triggers to keep walks and interactions safe. I also have an athletic background and am confident when handling strong dogs, even during training/high energy moments. I help reinforce basic training like leash walking, heel, and recall during walks. I love staying active with dogs and making sure they feel comfy, safe and cared for while you're away. + I'll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins!! I have a flexible schedule and can plan my days around the pets I’m caring for. I’m available for overnight stays, drop-ins, and walks, and I prioritize sticking to each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable. I just ask for at least 4 days’ notice for bookings so I can plan accordingly and give your pet the best care possible. I provide care in my client’s home and make sure to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable in their own environment. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m very attentive and experienced with high-energy, anxious, and reactive dogs, so I’m always aware of my surroundings and keep walks safe and controlled. I also have experience babysitting, so I’m very respectful of others’ homes and comfortable with light housekeeping if needed. I make sure doors, leashes, and spaces are always secure, and I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve had dogs of all different breeds my entire life and absolutely love them with my whole heart. My family has fostered puppies numerous times and is active with a local animal shelter. I love playing with pups, relaxing with pups, and taking pups on walks. I’m currently waiting to start a new job as an ER physician assistant in July. Until then, I have wide availability on almost all days. My home has a large backyard for the dogs to play but is only fenced on two sides with an electric fence on the other two. My neighborhood is a mile long circle where I take the dogs on walks. My dogs eat twice a day in the am and then at 5pm but will of course feed your dogs whenever needed. I can adjust to any style home and backyard as needed!
“Amanda was absolutely amazing. She was so kind to accept our last minute request and she went above and beyond to ensure we and our furbaby felt comfortable. She followed our long list of instructions to a T and sent us tons of photo and video updates (which as totally obsessed dog parents, we appreciated so much!!). We will absolutely be using Amanda again, and highly recommend her!”

“Jessica takes amazing care of our Shiba Inu! Our pup is usually very shy and takes a long time to warm up to new people, but she connected with Jessica right away. We’re so grateful to have found someone our dog trusts and loves!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I bring to every dog I work with. I'm very patient, detailed-oriented, and naturally nurturing, so I take the time to understand each dogs personality, routine and comfort needs. Whether it's making an anxious pup feel safe or keeping an energetic dog engaged, I adjust to them- not the other way around. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel calm, loved, and well cared for while your away. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I keep a structures and organized schedule. I'm able to plan my days around walks, feedings, and check-ins to ensure each dog gets consistent, reliable care. I provide care in my client's home so pets stay comfortable in their own space. I follow their routine and make sure they feel safe, loved and well cared for.
“Lauren took excellent care of our dog and home while we were away. On top of that our dog was not on her best behavior during Lauren's time with her, but Lauren was very kind and understanding. We were so appreciative of her, highly recommend!”

Grace stayed at our home & watched our pup for 3 nights & we were very happy with her services. She kept us informed the entire time & made sure our girl got lots of love! She took her for nice, long walks & gave her tons of attention. We would definitely recommend Grace to others!
