“Cera took such good care of Maggie! I looked forward to her updates which were both informative and full of humor. Mags is an anxious dog, but she seemed at ease with Cera, even napping on (with haha) her. I’d have her take care of Mags again in a heartbeat!”

“Stella was absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. From the very beginning, she was kind, professional, and incredibly attentive to our dog’s needs. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away!”

“Melissa was great w my pup!! This was my first time using the Rover app so I was nervous but she kept me updated w pictures which was great! Will definitely use Melissa again!”

“Toni was such a great match for the drop in services I needed for my 2 cats. She went above and beyond to stay and play with my boys and sent so many great photos and videos. I felt at ease knowing they were taken care of and given attention while I was away. I look forward to having Toni help out again!”

“Andrew came to get to know my Corgis better for an upcoming stay. He is wonderful with them! Even my timid one has warmed up quickly, and that is saying a lot about a person. He is very accommodating and easy to work with. I highly recommend him.”

About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life! I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. From puppies to seniors, and everything in between, I can care for a wide range of needs. I am a current college senior, so I have plenty of time between classes to care for your pups. I also have early mornings and evenings free for more extensive care needs. I am very careful of your dog’s boundaries, needs, and quirks! I can enforce commands and corrections if necessary (trained commands, being crated, or outside time). I also have some experience with *minor* reactivity—specifically food and resource guarding. Your dog’s safety and trust is my number one priority; I learn their body language and I do not push boundaries!
“Brittany came through for me at the last minute when I was scrambling for a sitter & I’m truly glad I had booked her. Very down to earth and open about her availability, as well as willing to work with me when I needed her to arrive at a specific time. Helen was well fed & cared for & I’m very grateful for her!”

“As always, Liceth is the best!!! We were able to relax and enjoy our weekend at the shore knowing that our sweet boy Arnold was in such great care. The pictures and videos that she shared were wonderful and made us feel close to him. He is an older boy and Liceth is so patient and sweet with him. We would recommend Liceth to anyone who is looking for top quality care for their dog!”

About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs, big & small for many years! I absolutely LOVE caring for everyone’s pets like they are my own! Feeding, walking, and even a little bit of training is something I have so much fun doing!! I am work full time (3 12-hour shifts) as a registered nurse so the days I work change every week. This gives me 4 days off a week so dog walking/drop in’s fit best in my schedule. I am able to provide multiple walks daily, can easily crate dogs if needed, and can feed pets as instructed. I do not have a fenced in yard.
About: I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, gerbils, and rabbits, giving me hands-on experience with both small pets and larger companions. My background as a veterinary technician allows me to confidently handle medication administration, monitor health and behavior changes, and respond calmly in urgent situations. My zoo keeping experiencing also aids in my ability to understand how important enrichment and cleanliness are to your pet's overall happiness. Utilizing knowledge gained from prior puppy and adolescent dog training courses, also helps me with walking, hiking, and in house behaviors. Pet care is a natural and consistent part of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, hikes, play, and individualized attention to ensure each pet’s needs are met. With a flexible work schedule, I am able to provide in-home care 3 days a week uninterrupted and with a local home location, am able to check in on days in the office as well. Whether it’s daily check-ins, walks, or extended stays, I make sure every pet receives reliable, compassionate care as part of my regular routine—not as an afterthought. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, whether in my home or in my client’s home, to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, walks or exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall health, and I keep pet parents updated with photos and messages. My home is equipped with 2 outdoor security cameras as well as a fully fenced in yard. In a client’s home, I respect the space while ensuring pets receive consistent care, enrichment, and companionship. In my home, pets are given a calm, safe environment with supervision, structured routines, and positive reinforcement. With my veterinary technician experience and animal care and dog training certifications, I’m able to administer medications, support training, care for puppies, and provide gentle, attentive care for senior pets. My goal is always to keep pets happy, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away.

“Samantha is attentive, nurturing and very trustworthy. She goes above and beyond to make sure not only your pet but your home is well taken care of. I would absolutely use her again and recommend her for anyone who is planning long or short term travel.”

“Britney has been very friendly and accommodating with setting up the schedule for weekly drop ins. Everything is going well and she's doing a great job. Kipper seems to enjoy her visits!”

About: I'm always available to sit and or walk your dog. I am very affectionate towards animals. I absolutely adore them. Every dog owner should know that their pets will be loved, provided for and taken care of. I have a lot of free time so playing with them and keeping them entertained is something I look forward to. I do send photos and videos quite frequently so you can know how your pet is doing on a daily basis. Most of my experience with pet sitting comes from taking care my friends and family members pets and from volunteering at an animal sanctuary. I have developed responsibility and learned quite a lot about dogs that way and now I'm looking forward to using that experience professionally. I’m adaptable and very flexible with my schedule perfect for those who need a last minute sitter. I’m also very willing to pet sit for longer durations if need be. I also enjoy exercising so I’m available for dog walks up to an hour or more if the owner requests that. There's a nice bike trail perfect for dog walks so no complaints here. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter. 💖 *Update* Hello, thank you for considering in me as your pet sitter. At this time I am no longer able to take in more than 3 dogs and they must be from the same owner and not different owners. I'm back in college now so I can only focus on one dog at a time.. I also have to increase my prices unfortunately. I also no longer do Meet and Greets without being booked FIRST. I don't feel comfortable giving out my address without confirmed booking, you may always cancel a week prior to the date to get a full refund. And I do not have a car so I am unable to do pickups. Thank you for your understanding. I have a fully fence yard so your fur baby can run around and enjoy the outdoors anytime as often as he/she wants. I never leave your pet unattended so you can rest assure that your pet will be in good hands. I do require crates during their stay and this is for their safety. I can't leave them unattended while I'm showering or when I'm sleeping or going out doing errands so a crate is a must.
