2. Bryana D.
About: I love dogs I can walk them, play with them, and take really good care of them. I can take them to the park and do drop in visits when needed as well. I work from 3:30-12 so I have plenty of time to walk and care for your pets any time in the miring. I can answer any questions you may have. I know life gets busy and you might not have time to walk your pet multiple times a day especially if they are energetic. No worries that’s why I am here, your fur babies will be safe with me.


3. Tala D.

“Tala is exactly what you want to find on Rover! Responsible, respectful and communicative. Took wonderful care of my cat, my home and my peace of mind while I was away! Extremely thorough with twice daily drop in updates, including adorable pictures, but most importantly confirming that she was flawlessly executing the instructions I had left. I will rebook with her every time, and genuinely believe my cat is looking forward to me leaving so he can spend more time with his new bestie! 😻🙏🏻🤩”


4. Elyssa H.
“I’ve used Elyssa twice now to stay at my house and watch Piper when I’ve been out of town for work. I couldn’t be happier and will definitely be calling on her again! Piper has some anxiety and I was a little worried leaving her, but Elyssa handled her with patience and care: taking her for walks, giving her supplements, and making sure she felt safe. She was also very respectful of my home, keeping everything clean and even checking the mail for me when I was expecting a package. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my fur baby and home were in such great hands. I highly recommend Elyssa to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”


5. Demi O.
About: 12 year experience caring for pets of my own, as well as friends and families back in the UK. Moved to the USA in 2023. I’ve been fostering dogs for a year for a rescue that I now work for as an adoption and foster coordinator. I also have 2 golden doodles of my own, Bhodi and Gizmo! For the last 4 years I have had my own online clothing business that I run completely from home. I also work for a dog rescue remotely so most of my day is spent at home with a very flexible schedule! I will care for your pet in your home just as if it were my own! Please let me know of any specifics, quirks, likes/dislikes your four legged family member has and I will do my best to make them feel comfortable and at ease!


6. Christine L.
“If there's a description for a perfect pet sitter and dog owner, Christine would fit every characteristic. Christine has had dogs for almost all her life, and she is super knowledgeable about how to care for animals. She is the most responsible and loving pet owner I know, and I look up to her a lot! When I was adopting my very first dog, I knew I wanted her to come along to help me assess if the dog would be the right fit, help with figuring out a routine and schedule, and plan meals and a diet for the dog. I felt way more comfortable going into this new experience of pet ownership with her presence. She even gave me a comprehensive list of resources to make sure I had everything ready. I trust her with me and my dog's life!! If she lived closer to me, I'd be filling up her bookings so fast.”




7. Allyn F.

“Allyn is wonderful and caring, she made me and my two kitties feel at ease right away! Great to have pics for peace of mind while traveling too :)”


8. Anna E.

“Anna was great! We came back to a happy pupper! She was communicative, patient with our puppy!, he loved his cuddle, play sessions and walks! Every picture she sent he looked like the happiest camper! We will definitely be booking again and hope to use her as our constant sitter for Kobe! He loved her! Thank you so much Anna”

11. Arianne D.
About: Hi there, growing up I was always surrounded by pets. My family had a dog, birds, fish, hermit crabs, and a hamster. I’ve always loved taking care of pets and spending time with them- they bring me so much joy! I am free to dog walk/sit on weekends! I am able to care for pets any time after 5pm on weekdays as needed. I set aside time for pet care through exercise, playtime, and dog walking. I can provide your pets with proper nutrition and a safe environment at all times, keeping them hydrated. I will pay close attention to detail and consult with owners about the pets mood, behavior before trying to provide any comfort. I’m also very active! I will take pets on runs or walks with me depending on their exercise level as well!


12. Colleen D.
“Colleen cared for my senior cat and dog for three years as needed when I was traveling or for long work hours prior to moving out of state. She always went the extra mile and did more than I expected/required. One time my dog got into some Easter chocolate I was not aware my son hid..... His signs of distress were not excessive at first, but she was so in tune to his behavior she knew he was not acting himself when he began panting, vomiting....the vet said she saved his life. 100% recommend.”


13. Maria R.
“We are so thankful Maria is in our area and available to watch our two dogs when we're away. She is caring and considerate, professional and friendly, and takes great care of our dogs. We have used Maria's services on many occasions and she always shows up on time and follows the instructions we leave her. She hangs out and plays with our dogs or just shares space with them...whatever they need. Maria has done short check-ins, hour-long visits, feedings, walks, and on a couple of occasions has stayed with our dogs all day. We highly recommend Maria's services.”


14. Jada S.
“Every time l need a cat-sitter l know exactly who to call. My kitty, Pipis is a gentle giant and Jada loves to take care of him when l am out of town. She cleans his kitty litter and feeds him. She also helped me bottle feed him when l first adopted him off the streets as a kitten. She’s had cats of her own so she knows understands their personalities and does not push their boundaries.”


15. Theodora O.
About: I am a dog lover and enthusiast. I've owned and cared for dogs for 25+ years. I've trained a Siberian Husky to be a service animal for a friend for example and owned my own for 7 years. After his passing, I didn't get another dog for 2 years. Currently, I own a Belgian Malinois whom I am training for service-animal work, as well as having personally trained her for therapy dog work. We go around to Skilled Nursing Facilities on their designated days and provide pet therapy for those who would like. My long-term boyfriend and my kiddo born in 2012 live in the home with me. They are so wonderful and helpful with the doggo's that come around. Especially my son. He'll play fetch and tug-o-war with the doggo's all day long. -Full-time nursing student until December 2025. I love all dogs. It brings me so much joy and happiness to care for your pets. Not only do we go on plenty of walks, and play, but I can also provide obedience training. If there are specific training needs you require, please let me know and we can work on whatever you need. Prices on Rover reflect basic boarding and walking. If additional services such as training are requested, those come at a higher fee, and we can discuss those based on the individual needs of your pet! It's tough having to board your pet or not have time for a walk, and while I have the time, I'd love to be of service. First and foremost, I offer a calm, safe, and fun environment. I'm currently a full-time Nursing student. I have a son born 2012. Plenty of time to walk and care for your pets and have the skill set and training to make your pets as happy and comfortable as possible. I personally enjoy long walks as well :) A typical day for dog boarding includes 2 short walks ( about 15-20min ) and 1 long walk ( 45-90min ) The longer walk includes play time, dog park if applicable, etc. My days average between 17,000-20,000 steps. I have three levels in my home, all wood floors and furniture covers. Doggo's that come for boarding will be in a big livingroom on the main floor. We have a small fenced patio. Fenced grassy area behind the patio for play and potty breaks. I have water and food bowls already & plenty of doggie toys. Please bring your dog's bed or a blanket with your' homes smell. It helps with comfort and anxiety levels for the dogs. 🐕🐶🐩

19. Melonie G.
About: Hey there! I’m Melonie, your go-to pet sitter with over 15 years of experience hanging out with dogs. Having grown up with four family dogs, I’ve learned just how awesome and unique each pup can be! I’ve also taken care of my family members’ and neighbors’ dogs, building trust and friendships along the way. My love for pets is what motivates me. I know every dog has its own personality and needs, so I’m all about giving personalized care to make sure your furry friend feels safe and happy while you’re away. From long walks and playful fetch sessions to cozy cuddles on the couch, I’m here to shower your pet with attention and love. Creating a fun, relaxed environment for your dog is my priority, so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands. Thanks for considering me as your pet sitter! I’m excited to meet you and your furry buddy! I currently work full time, but I’m available most weekends and all day on Mondays for pet care. If you need drop-in visits during the week, I can likely accommodate those after 5PM as well. I’m happy to work with your schedule to ensure your furry friend gets the care they need! I take care of pets right in their own home, which helps them feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I make sure to stick to their usual routine, whether it’s feeding times, walks, or playtime. I’m all about creating a homey vibe, so I’ll spend quality time with them, giving them plenty of attention, cuddles, and play. I’ll also keep an eye on their needs—like making sure they have fresh water and a clean space. My goal is to keep them happy and feeling secure in their own environment!


20. Candi G.


“Hooked up with Candi on rover she did a great job taking care of my Bochi for 4 days while I was out of town. She did a meet and greet with me as well before the trip. She loves what she is doing and does it well. Sent me photos twice daily of the little fella. She has a great home and yard for taking care of the little stinkers. He (Bochi) looked good when I picked him up and was happy and I could tell he was treated by Candi. I ll use her services again in the future.”
