“My dogs were well taken care of while I was away. I appreciate her communication and updates on how the dogs were doing. Wooji was very easy to work with, appreciated as many details as possible prior to staying with the dogs, and I would recommend her to pet owners looking for overnight stays as well as daily drop in's.”

“Oceana is AMAZING. We recently moved to the area and had to jet off quickly for a family emergency. Not knowing anyone yet, we crossed our fingers that someone on Rover would work out. We feel SO lucky to have found Oceana! She sent tons of updates and most importantly, our pup ADORES her. We can’t say enough good things about her!”

“Makayla was so respectful of our home while she house sat our dog and cats. We came back to happy pets and a house as clean as we left it. She was super responsive and gave me updates and photos anytime I texted. We will definitely book with her again!”

“Julia is the BEST!!! She is so great at updating with lots of pictures and really amazing at making sure our dog gets lots of exercise! We feel 100% comfortable to leave our fur babies in her care. Highly recommend Julia’s services for whatever pet care you need!!!!”

“Samantha was fantastic! She sent us pictures when she popped in to check on our dogs. She cleaned up any messes they made and kept us updated on their general demeanor. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Avery was so amazing! She was so sweet and our dog liked her immediately. She gave us updates and pictures everyday! Super quick communication and very flexible! We felt so confident leaving our dog with her. We will definitely use her again if we go out of town😊”

“Sierra was great with our dogs, and they were very calm and content when we arrived back from our trip. She also helped out with a couple household things, that was greatly appreciated! She sent an update everyday as well.”

“Tamilyn is so wonderful! She was respectful of our home and very attentive to our Ruby. She went above and beyond making sure she was comfortable while we were away. We had great communication with picture updates. I highly recommend her to watch anyone's furbabies! We will definitely be requesting her again!”

About: I've dedicated my life to caring for various beings, whether they're furry or human. From working with fosters from Rescue Rovers to raising my own pup, Gwenny, from a tiny furball, I've immersed myself in creating a safe, playful, and loving environment. With extensive experience in dog sitting, house-dog sitting, and caring for even huge dogs and high energy levels, I've consistently earned stellar reviews. My passion extends beyond pet care; I aspire to become a service animal trainer and am actively self-educating until I can pursue formal education. Your dog's well-being is my top priority, and I'll go above and beyond to provide them with the best treatment possible. Rest assured, your furry friend(s) will be loved and cared for just like they are a part of my own family. Im currently working part time and attending online school full time. Other than that, I have a few responsibilities I need to attend to (chores, family care, etc.) just like everyone else. No matter what I have planned, your pet will be the highlight! Unfortunately, since I moved, I can no longer pet sit or board at my home. However, I still have plenty of toys, treats, and tools to ensure your friend has a good time no matter where we are. I love a good game of tug-a-war or fetch! I will also play games and practice tricks. If they have a special diet they must stick to, please let me know.
“Luckily our cats and dog still like us a bit more than Eva, though it's close! She did a great job taking care of them and it showed. Our kitty recently had spay surgery and Eva handled the meds just right. She even made us muffins!”

About: I am super flexible and able to cater to any of your dogs needs! I have experience in watching and walking dogs. I am quick to learn and good at following directions. I currently work part time as a waitress, so I am able to fit your pets around my schedule! I work 4 hours at a time at most, and am available every night to care for your dog I am comfortable walking dogs in any neighborhood and for any period of time. I can give frequent potty breaks and crate the pet if needed.

About: I have grown up with a dog my whole life. When I was very young we had a Yorkie named Rex. And for the last 11 years we have had an energetic yellow lab named penny. We trained her ourselves and now she is very well behaved. I love dogs and am great with them. I love to play them just as much as they do! I currently work part time most days of the week but have a fairly free schedule since my shifts aren’t that long. I go to sleep late and wake up early so my days are open! I live in a house with a fenced yard big enough for a dog to play fetch in. My roommates love animals too so all pets will be welcomed. I am willing to stay at anyone’s home and will be respectful of any house rules that are set.
About: I have had my dog for 4.5 years and really enjoyed raising and training her. Outside my home, I have helped friends and family with house-sitting, dog walking, and check-ins/potty breaks. I currently work part-time, so my schedule is quite open! I am available for services any time on weekends and on weekdays after 2 pm. I have a fenced back yard, and a gate at the front of my house, so your pet will be entirely secure! There is a patio and grass in the back, leaving space for zoomies. Inside is an open floor plan with space to play while being supervised and safe!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs most of my life. I’m the first person my family or friends call to come house sit for them so they don’t have to board their animals. I do some light house work, hangout with the animals, and give them lots of love while their parents are away I’m currently a single stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can do weekends or weekdays- let’s try and make it work with your schedule I’ll play with the animals outside as much as possible. Take them on a walks if they do not of great recall and in my free time in between taking care of the animals I do some light house work
“Laura was able to take this assignment at the last minute after a family friend had a change of plans and wasn’t able to stay with my dogs. She was very accommodating and did everything I asked!”

About: My parents have been pet sitting for 3 years. I've had dogs my entire life and have grown up around German Shepherds. I have experience with a variety of different temperaments in dogs. I am a college student, but I take mostly online classes, so I have an extremely flexible schedule. I am available most of the time and will not need to be away for more than a couple of hours at a time. I'm willing to do in-home house sitting and pet care. I can administer medication and provide daily exercise. I will love your pet like it's my own.
About: I’m a responsible and caring pet sitter with experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets. I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. My goal is to keep their routine, give them plenty of attention, and treat every pet like my own. i am a full time barber so my availability is based on my days off so i can have my full attention on your pets. I live near an almost always vacant baseball field i take my dog to once a week so he gets his exercise in. when im dog sitting i like to get out doors with pets, weather that’s just a walk or going on run we’ll always find our way outdoors

Tamilyn is so wonderful! She was respectful of our home and very attentive to our Ruby. She went above and beyond making sure she was comfortable while we were away. We had great communication with picture updates. I highly recommend her to watch anyone's furbabies! We will definitely be requesting her again!

Gabby did a great job of taking care of our sweet little pup and our horses and house while we were away. We messaged her after a last minute cancellation from a sitter and she was over to our home within 30 minutes ready to care for our animals. Our dog has some separation anxiety and Gabby did great at connecting and bonding with our dog and she was very responsive to any and all of her needs. We will definitely be using Gabby again. Thanks Gabby!
