“If I could leave more than 5 stars I would. Kathy is super nice & easy to work with, from booking to the actual drop ins to retrieving the spare key post-trip. She goes above and beyond, and I know my little cat is in good hands whenever I'm gone.”
“It has been so great to have Michelle caring for my dog. She is responsive, reliable, and most importantly my dog loves her. She helps out with drop in visits in my home and makes sure my dog is cared for when I can’t be there. She always makes sure to send me updates and photos so I’m aware of what’s going on. She’s respectful of my space and makes certain all of my needs are met.”
“Michelle is just fantastic. She is responsive, communicative, and patient. I appreciate knowing that she can help me love my dogs when I can’t be with them.”
About: I have spent my whole life surrounded by family dogs (mainly the bigger breeds). I got my first dog on my own almost 5 years ago and my 2nd last year. I have seen and cared for dogs in all stages. I do work full time with a flexible hourly schedule and can help with care as needed. Currently I work 9-5 and I walk my boys every night and can make most scheduling needs work! I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs myself. While I’m home the dogs can all be interactive together in and outside, while also being walked. While away from home and for sleeping dogs will be crated for safety purposes (never longer than 8 hrs for work)
“Caitlin was a great communicator and took great care of my pup while I was away.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of love, patience, and attention I give to every pet in my care. Whether it’s a bouncy puppy learning the ropes or a sweet senior needing extra support, I tailor my care to fit each pet’s unique needs. I have experience with basic puppy training, including leash manners, crate comfort, and potty routines. I’m also confident caring for senior dogs—administering medication, helping with mobility, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Your pet won’t just get a sitter—they’ll get a new friend who truly cares, communicates well, and treats them like family. As a student with a very flexible school schedule, I’m able to plan my days around pet care pretty easily—as long as I have a little notice, I can make it work! I love spending time with animals, whether it's getting outside for a good walk or just hanging out at home. On weekends, you can usually find me curled up with a furry friend or two—it’s honestly my favorite way to relax. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure pets feel secure, loved, and right at home—whether that means sticking to their usual routine, keeping their environment calm, or giving them extra one-on-one attention. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and follow all instructions carefully—from feeding schedules to walk times and any special quirks your pet may have. In my home, I keep things clean, cozy, and pet-friendly, with lots of snuggle spots and safe spaces to relax. Building trust with both pets and their people is important to me, and I always aim to communicate clearly and keep you updated so you feel at ease while you're away.
“I’ve booked with Kelsey twice now within the last few months and I would book her services again in a heartbeat! She’s very thorough when she is taking care of my cats, and she provides an adorable Rover card every visit. She is fast to respond to messages, and 100% trustworthy with my cats! Kelsey is awesome! 😸😺”
“Jeremy was an amazing cat sitter! Both my cats were immediately comfortable and really grew to like Jeremy’s daily visits and play time. Super responsive and always sending lots of pics for me to check in on- it’s was such a relief to have them in Jeremy’s care. Highly recommend!!!”
“McKenna helped us out with a last minute request. She is reliable and Hazel seemed to have a great time with her!”
About: PLEASE DO NOT MESSAGE ME IF YOU HAVE PENDING REQUESTS TO OTHER SITTERS. Please understand that when you send me a request, I have to turn down other potential clients while I wait for you to confirm. Thanks in advance for being a considerate neighbor and human. I had dogs all through childhood and college, and miss having a four-legged friend around! Sadly, my own work travel schedule prevents me from having a doggo of my own right now, so I thought that it would be a good compromise to lend a hand to other frequent flyers who love their pup too much to put them in the kennel. Rest assured that your dog will not get just a 15-minute lap around the block to pee, I'll take him or her to the dog park, on a hike, or if your pup is more low-key, I'll totally snuggle on the couch. My pet ownership experience is mostly with big dogs (sheperds), so that's definitely my soft spot, but I've taken care of all breeds and sizes through volunteering as a foster with a rescue group in my former home of Washington, DC. I have a reliable car, so it's easy for me to get to your place to check in a couple of times a day. I work from home, so I am pretty flexible. I do live with a sassy cat, but we live in a big duplex where pets can be separated if needed. I will strive to stick to your pet's usual routine whether I am sitting at your home or boarding in my own home. They are already missing their humans, and maintaining their routine gives them one less thing to be anxious about.
About: Hi! I’m Kat. I have experience looking after animals of all kinds - dogs (big and small), cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, turtles, you name it. I have three cats at home who get lovingly spoiled every day, and I have experience dog walking, dog-sitting (included overnight stays), and cat-sitting for neighbors, friends, and family. I have a genuine love for all types of animals, and I put their well-being, care, and enrichment above all else. I work from home as a jewelry maker, so my schedule during the week is flexible as can be. I can easily make time for morning, midday, and evening visits. I am detail-oriented and will follow any given care instructions to the letter. My goal is to treat your pet just like you would, with the same love and attention you give them every day.
About: I've been taking care of my friends, family and neighbors dogs for as long as I can remember. Anything from daily to week long periods I have fed, walked, and cared for those animals, as well as overnight stays at either my home or theirs. Pet care fits extremely well into my routine, I am an online college student with a majority of free time and flexibility. I am typically up early and readily available most of the time. I remain especially cleanly in my own home and clients, making sure to clean/ tidy up after the pet as well as stay attentive to their needs. Another way I care for pets is by enjoying their company, talking, playing and interacting with them on walks and at home to make sure they are safe, happy and attended to.
About: Hello, I have taken care of all kinds of animals since I was very young. I have taken care of roosters, chickens, ducks, rabbits, dogs, kittens, goats. I really like playing with animals and entertaining them. I like taking them for walks and bathing them. I started working as an animal caregiver at the age of 20 with neighbors, friends, and family. I believe that animals are very intelligent and full of love. I just arrived in the country and I am looking for a job that I can do part-time and be able to study. I am also looking to do what I love and am passionate about, which is taking care of pets, being able to walk them and take care of them, giving them everything they need, which is love and care. I have a park near my house where I can play with your doggy baby. I also have many toys and ideas in my house to do with them.
About: Dogs are my kind of people, loyal, silly, soulful, and always ready for a good walk or cuddle. I bring genuine enthusiasm to every visit, whether it’s tossing a tennis ball for the fifth time or patiently encouraging a shy pup to come out of their shell. Because I truly love dogs, I pay close attention to their routines, moods, and energy levels. Whether it’s a rambunctious retriever or a slow-strolling senior, I adapt my care to what makes them happiest and healthiest. Your dog isn’t just a client they become part of my daily joy. Pet care blends seamlessly into my daily rhythm, acting as gentle checkpoints that anchor my routine. Feeding, cleaning, and playtime create consistency, while weekly tasks like grooming or toy rotation keep things fresh. These moments build a quiet connection between me and my pet and often serve as welcome pauses in a busy day. For happy, healthy pets at home, stick to consistent routines, clean litter boxes and feeding schedules for cats, daily walks and playtime for dogs. Offer cozy spaces, rotate toys, and check their health regularly. A bit of structure and love goes a long way for any furry friend.
“Stephen and Amelie are the best! They take excellent care of our babies and our home when we’re away and make us feel completely comfortable when we need to travel without the pups. Our dogs love them too!”
About: I’ve never NOT had an animal in my life, and Rover is a great way to be around pets even more! Life with pets is the best way to live ☺️ I work from home remotely full-time with a very flexible schedule, and love to fill my break time with a drive or a walk. Perfect for taking care of someone’s pet! In a client’s home, I’ll take care of their pets with any space they have available (indoor play, outdoor fenced play, etc) or walk the dog outside as needed!
“Melainie is great with Trixie! She comes to let her out while I'm at work and I love getting the updates and photos during their visits 🥰 Trixie can be shy with new people and she's taken to Melainie so, so well!”
About: Lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for pups and kitties of all kinds—raised dogs from puppy zoomies to sweet old souls, cared for sick pets with heart, and the go-to sitter for friends and neighbors. I treat every animal like the quirky little legend they are—each one with their own vibe, needs, and love language. Whether it’s snuggles, playtime, meds, or just good vibes, I’m here for it all. 🐾♊️ I currently work remote and PT so I have plenty of time to pop over to your house for a mid-day or evening potty situation. Whether in my home or yours, pets get the full VIP treatment. At our home, they're part of the family (we have 2 very friendly dogs & a fenced in yard)—cozy spots to nap, daily playtime, walks, and tons of love. In your home, I keep their routine consistent and their energy happy—feeding, snuggling, walking, and hanging out like their favorite human stand-in. I tune into each pet’s unique vibe and make sure they feel safe, seen, and totally adored

Ashley W.
“Ashley is quite the do lover. She no only loves dogs but has tons of energy for those who like to be super active. In the time I have known Ashley she has not only watched dogs I've had and done an excellent job but she is also a former foster with a local dog rescue. When fostering with an off transport rescue you rarely know what to expect and Ashley has shown that she can care for many types of dogs of varying temperaments. The most memorable was very anxious and mouthy beagle who was later put on Prozac to help with her temperament and behavior. Ashley fostered Tallulah until she was adopted to later be returned multiple times because people just couldn't deal with the challenge that Ashley was. If I had a personal dog i would not only trust Ashley with its care but not worry because I know she would do anything she could to assure it's comfort and care.”
Kat K.
“Kat is a phenomenal care giver and all around amazing human. They have cared for our cats, dogs, and guinea pigs for several years and are extremely attentive, communicative, and kind. My family has complete trust in Kat and will continue to use them to care for our pet family members forevermore.”

Estamos muy emocionados encontrar alguien con quien podemos tener 100 confianza aquí cerca de l casa. Sabemos que cuando estamos de viaje nuestro perrito está en buenos manos.”
Curtis K.
“Curt is one of those rare people who animals just get, and the feeling is mutual. He’s calm, kind, and genuinely attentive, which makes pets instantly feel at ease around him. I’ve seen him go the extra mile to make sure every tail is wagging and every whisker feels safe..Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or just respectful quiet company, Curt treats every pet like family.”

Charlotte M.
“The first time my dog met Charlotte, she refused to leave her side, especially when she discovered that Charlotte is an expert at giving ear massages. It's a testament to how wonderful Charlotte is with animals, how gentle and loving she is that they are naturally drawn to her. When I thought my dog needed surgery and someone would have to spend all day with her during recovery, I instantly thought of Charlotte as a potential caregiver, and I'd trust Charlotte absolutely in my dog's most vulnerable state. Charlotte is an incredible dog mom and your pets would be so lucky to have her care for them.”

She’s a fantastic mom to her own two pups, and an equally as wonderful auntie to my 2 kitties. Not only that, she is reliable, timely, and a very responsible person. She will care for all the fur babies as if they were her own.”
