“Abby is the best!!! If there is a Rover hall of fame, Abby should be voted in on the first ballot. Our animals love her and she takes great care of them. Left the house in immaculate conduction and even watered our flowers for us. Our return flight was delayed and Abby just rolled with the changes. If you have any apprehension about hiring a Rover sitter, select Abby. You will also provide a 5-star rating. Thank you Abby!”


“I cannot say enough good things about Alecia! One of our dogs is not always friendly to strangers and Alecia was so kind and understanding of the situation. She kept me updated on them while we were away and did everything she could to put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter…. She will give your fur babies l the love and attention they want!”


“We contacted Lilia last minute due to our sitter backing out. She was so helpful and nice. Our big pup is a special case and needs daily medication. Lilia not only gave him his meds, she worked with him on his manners. She kept us informed about our fur babies and quite has been the best sitter we’ve had for the boys! She sent us a ton of pictures! What fur parent doesn’t love that!? 5 out of 5 stars easily!”

About: I’ve taken care of puppies and other small dogs since I was 15. Neighbors and friends and family have relied on me to watch, walk and feed their fur babies. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I’ll be able to walk anytime. I try to get out in the fresh air daily as needed. So excited! I have a friendly, lovable dog that will keep you fur baby company. I also will make sure the pet is well feed. I can easily crate if needed.

About: Hi there! My name is Anna, and I’m a loving pet mom and experienced caretaker who knows just how special your fur babies are. I’m here to provide a safe, fun, and cozy space where your pet will feel right at home! Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their routine, I care for every pet like they’re my own. I have experience with small animals, dogs, and even bunnies, and I’m happy to accommodate special needs or requests. I’m also a mom and teacher, so patience and attentiveness come naturally to me! Whether you’re going on vacation or need someone reliable during the day, I’d love to help! Let’s chat to see if we’re the perfect fit. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks throughout the week and on weekends. Your pet will get lots of love, attention, and playtime while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large yard and two friendly dogs who love to make new friends, but I can also crate your pup if they need space or a quiet environment. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and any special instructions to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home.

About: I've grown up around dogs and have experience caring for a wide range of breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I've helped with everything from daily walks and feeding to playtime, bathing, and basic commands. I'm comfortable with both high-energy pups and older dogs who need a gentler touch. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, my patience, and the time I take to make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and loved-whether they're staying at my home or just out for a walk. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time around animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and weekends. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I make sure each pet gets my full attention and care as if they were my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting a client’s, safety and trust are my top priorities. I always take time to understand each dog’s needs, routines, and personality. In my home, I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space where dogs can feel comfortable and secure. I supervise all play and rest time, make sure they have fresh water, and stick closely to the owner’s instructions. When visiting a client’s home, I respect their space, follow feeding and walk schedules carefully, and keep everything as close to normal as possible for the pet’s comfort.

Current dog and cat mom. I work Monday-Friday day shift. Available for evening walks or potty sessions during the week. Available on weekends for pet sitting, walking, and potty breaks. I do not offer care in my home, but am a responsible respectful adult who can care for your babies in their home. I have a lifetime of various animal care experiences, and am equipped to keep your babies safe.

“Pat stayed at my house and took care of my baby. She kept me up to date on Axel, sent pictures and he was a very happy camper when I got home.”


“Faye was terrific!”


About: I love dogs like they are my best friend because they are the most loving, loyal creatures I’ve ever met on this planet! They make me so happy always! I have an hour lunch during the week and weekends are usually free! If I commit to watching a dog for several days in a row such as staying at their home, I make sure they are well taken care of cuz that’s really all that matters. They get all my love and attention! I have a pet friendly apartment but much rather take care of them at their own home as it’s likely more familiar/comfortable for them and convenient as well as more space lol (I live in a studio apt so not much space)

About: We have over 15 years of pet care experience. I have cared for large and small dogs as well as cats and other pets. Your pet will be loved and cared for. I work from home. Dogs will be out of the kennel unless we are out of the home. They will be allowed to roam free and play with our dogs. We have a very large fenced yard (1/4 acre) and the dogs will get tons out outside play everyday. Dogs sleep together at night in our living room. They are not kenneled unless that is what you prefer. We have two dogs (a lab and a Labradoodle) They are very loving and welcoming of other dogs. Our pets have free roam of our home and yard. We do not have a stringent schedule. We do have at least one long play sessions per day and typically two. I have two friendly dogs that have been socialized since puppies. They are not fixed so we cannot host unneutered males. I have a very large fenced backyard and we have two cats that love dogs. The cats have a separate living area if your dog does not do well with cats.

About: I grew up in a home with three cats and two dogs, and last year, I got a miniature dachshund with a big personality. I have loved every second with him and he has made me realize how much I love spending time with animals, especially dogs. I am open to caring for all sizes and dog breeds and would love meet more dogs than what my dachshund and I have already met at the dog park! I work remotely for the most part and would be able to drop in over the morning, during lunch, or in the evening on weekdays and am free anytime Saturday/Sunday! I would be providing in home visits or walking services . While ours is small, he is high energy, and loves to play fetch and tries to chase basically anything! I’m open to any level of activity! I would love the chance to meet and help care for your dog!

About: while I don't have much experience caring for other pets aside from my own, I do occasionally care for family members pets. I myself have a 4-year-old Golden Retriever and a 4-year-old German Shepherd that are very friendly and well trained by myself so as you can tell I'm not afraid of a challenge so if you're looking for someone to care for your fur babies at times you can't please reach out. I'm currently working a prn job which leaves me with plenty of time to care for my pets so with this free time I'm looking to also help others care for theirs as well. I have a fenced in yard with two very playful dogs along with lots of room inside for downtime along with a crate if needed
