“Maria was great! She was really friendly and our dog enjoyed his stay playing with her pups in the backyard. She sent pictures throughout the day also and kept us updated on our dog. Would highly recommend booking with her.”

“Sharon was awesome!! I knew from the moment I stepped into her house that Dude was in good hands, she treated him like he was one of her own. She lives in a great little neighborhood close to downtown and the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame. I would highly recommend!!! Thank you Sharon!!!”

“Terrie is the best. She is very down to earth and immediately makes you and your dog feel right at home. She clearly is very experienced watching dogs and was able to accommodate mine last minute. She was also very thoughtful in how the dogs made introductions to avoid any over excitement. Her house is perfect for dogs with a nice fenced yard. Could not recommend her enough.”

“My little Inu has separation anxiety, so I was worried I'd have a hard time finding someone to look after him while I'm at work. Nicole made me feel comfortable at our meet and greet, and I was confident Inu was in good hands. Her dogs Frankie and Beans are the cutest and Inu got along well with them. She sent me daily photos of Inu while out on walks or relaxing at her place. Thanks Nicole, Frankie & Beans for letting Inu be part of your pack!”

“We really appreciate the Rover service we got. Our PAWsome sitter, Abby A. took the time to meet with us before taking care of our precious baby goldendoodle -Winnie. We also love that she is absolutely great with pets and took the time to understand the rest of our needs and requests for our fur-baby. Thank You! Will definitely request again!”

“Julie was great! She took my last minute request with no question, allowed me to come early in the morning before work, sent me pictures through the day, and kept Margo busy! We hope to use Julie again!”

About: Have lived with dogs my whole life and currently have 3 cats at home, but specifically have experience raising and training a puppy, walking a strong dog, cleaning up after dogs, cleaning and care of cats, and high energy dogs. I also have experience with senior dogs as my dachshund passed a few years ago. I currently work an 8-4 during the week, but have a lot of flexibility to leave during the day if needed for walks, potty breaks, etc. On the weekends and in the evenings I have no other commitments. I currently have 3 cats in my home so would only take other cats into my home. As for other people’s homes, I respect any rules you have when it comes to the care of your pet.
“My 6 year old blue heeler, who is normally very skeptical of strangers, took immediately to Rose and was very comfortable in her care. Banjo had only ever stayed with friends and family before, and I was anxious about how he would do in an unfamiliar environment with a new caregiver. Rose eased my mind by keeping me updated throughout the visit, and including photos of his activities and recreation time with the other dogs. He had a great time! And came home happy and tired. We’ll definitely be booking with Rose again very soon!”

About: I have two rescue dogs, Rigby (F, 5yo, German Shepard / Chao-Chao) and Cheese (F, 2yo, Beagle / Terrier), who are complete mushes and well socialized through day-care and time with multiple family dogs of all breeds and sizes. They are active dogs who love to play, but after their daily walk, they like to bask in the sun and relax. I make sure they stick to a routine to stay active. We have a fenced in back yard and a great neighborhood for walks. I have had dogs my whole life and am familiar with all their needs. My dog, Sadie, lived until 16 and had horrible cataracts that would blind her in the sun. We bought her special sunglasses that she would wear when she went outside (as referenced by the picture in my album). I am very particular about how my dogs are taken care of, so I completely understand the preferences of each and every dog parent. I am currently staying at home full time to focus on new ventures. I can afford to give complete attention and care to your pups as I do mine, with daily exercise, playtime and a comfortable environment. I have a fully fenced back yard that is perfect for play time. I live in a three bedroom house with my girlfriend and our dogs play just about everywhere. Rigby sleeps on her bed downstairs and Cheese likes to be against the window on our bed. I am happy to take care of your dog however you prefer and put its needs first.

I also provide walks and indoor playtime.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my practical experience with a diverse range of breeds and my knack for forming deep connections with each pet's individual personality. I don’t merely walk or sit; I offer love, structure, and companionship that helps every pet feel at home. Throughout my life, I have been surrounded by dogs, having raised and cared for over 11 of my own, including American Bullies, Pit Bulls, Chihuahuas, Dachshunds, German Shepherds, and various mixed breeds.

If a pet is in my home, I provide a safe, welcoming environment with lots of attention and affection.

I know what it takes to provide consistent love, attention, and patience — whether it’s potty training, playtime, cuddles, or helping pets feel comfortable in new environments.
