“We could not recommend Bri enough to anyone needing their pets looked after while away! Bri was not only able to accommodate our last minute request when our family had to go out of town, but she was incredible with our dogs! Between daily message and photo updates of the pups, we could not have asked for anything else to feel more comfortable leaving our dogs back home. We will happily be using her again in the future!!”

“Another perfect stay on short notice. Annabelle really enjoys her time with Michelle and I have complete confidence in Annabelle's care when I am gone. Seriously, if you ever need someone to sit with your pet while you are gone Michelle is the absolute best option!”

“I had a very positive experience with Evelin. It was my first time using Rover and it couldn't have gone better. I especially loved that she sent pictures multiple times a day of the dogs and that she came in more than once during the day to check on them. She was very respectful and professional and made the experience one that I will be happy to repeat.”

“Marisa was AMAZING. We have four dogs that are a little spicy and needy. She made sure they were all looked after exactly like we asked and I’m pretty sure they were all having such a good time they didn’t notice we were even gone. Great communication as well with the perfect amount of updates and photos. She was also super accommodating to our travel schedule which was awesome. 10/10 recommend.”

“Penelope is awesome! She took great care of my fur babies while I was on vacation. She followed my notes and ensured medication was given on time. I was able to truly relax knowing they were in her care.”

About: Hello families! I grew up with the most loving Chihuahua- Yorkshire Terrier mix named Romeo, who started my love for all animals. I have been pet sitting/walking for friends and family since I was 12. I have experience with dogs, big or small, as well as cats! I care for all animals as if they were my own and I cannot wait to me yours! I am a full time college student and a part time after school care teacher so my availability is as follows: Monday-Friday: Anytime before 2pm Saturday-Sunday: Open availability! Because of my availability I am not yet able to provide overnight/boarding services but will be considering it for the future! Drop ins and walks will be my main services available. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, I would be happy to discuss! Your pets safety and happiness are paramount! I aim to create a stress free and fun experience for you and your furry friends!
“Jessica is the best! She loves on your animals like they are her own, we can tell when we talk to her and when we come back and see our dog, who is not stressed and still very happy. Her communication is consistent and informative. You will be happy if you book with her.”

“Will definitely use Michael again! I hired Michael to watch our house and our dog while we went away for the weekend. He took great care of my house and would send us updates of my dog playing and having fun! Highly recommend Michael!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and got my first dog sitting gig when I was 10. Since then I’ve taken care of all ages of pups including senior dogs treating each dog like royalty. I work from home so I am always around and have dogs of my own who I walk 3 to 4 times a day - I’m quite flexible with my schedule. I have a house in a dog friendly neighborhood and sidewalks. I can easily crate your dog or separate for feedings etc. also have a lovely back yard for some afternoon sun bathing!
“Charlotte was professional, fun, and so sweet with the dogs. She listened to our details and sent us pictures and notes so we would not worry. Our pups loved her! Highly recommend her and will ask her to sit again!!”

About: I have 5 dogs myself got each one of them when they were puppies! I am not scared of any dog out there! I am comfortable with all dogs. I can always make time for animals! I love all dogs and cats and can definitely make time for yours as well! Just as easy as taking my care of my own My dogs are very spoiled they get lots of love and lots of play time. Each one gets their own one on one time with mom as well, Same goes for every dog I’ve dog sat. Each gets the same amount of attention
About: I've had animals in my house for over 20 years. Spanninng a cockatiel, a cat, five dogs and my clown fish who are going on 18 years old. Once, I drove the bird into the Tuft's vet school in a blizzard on a weekend night. Another time I took one of the clown fish into the Tufts satellite clinic on a Sunday because he hadn't eaten for days. Both pets lived to tell their tale. Cats are great, I love how they set the rules :) But dogs are where my heart is, especially Airedales, and rescue dogs are a labor of love! My priorities start with my pet family, unless I'm taking care of yours. Then, your pets become my priority. I work from home most of the time and that allows me to have the ultimate flexibility in my schedule so that I can care for your pets as appropriate, on their time. I've raised my dog training game significantly over the past few years, attending regular sessions with my trusted trainer, Baptiste. Our work has focused on highly reactive dogs and also puppy training. Like kids, pets can do no wrong. I do not get upset with them, I just clean the mess ;)
About: I’ve cared for pets for friends, family, and neighbors for years, including high-energy dogs, shy rescues, and senior animals needing extra TLC. I’m patient, dependable, and happy to adapt to your pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether your pup loves cuddles, long walks, or just needs some TLC, I’ll treat them like family. Since I work from home and do school online, I have plenty of time to give your pup lots of love, care, walks, and attention I have a secure fenced yard and 5 friendly dogs of my own, so if your pup enjoys socializing, they’ll have playmates. If not, I can easily keep them separate and make sure they’re comfortable
“I cannot say enough about Anthony. We went away for a week and both of our dogs have severe separation anxiety. Anthony not only loved and cared for them, my Shih tzu hasn’t displayed his former bad habits (taking toilet paper off of the roll and running, chewing shoes). Anthony is THE BEST and I will use him again. Anthony thank you so much, words cannot describe how appreciative we are.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since childhood, and I have personal friends that I’ve pet/house sit for in the past. I am a recent veterinary medicine student as well I am available in the mornings until afternoons around 1pm, though as of my current job I am off Mondays and Tuesdays all hours of the day until night, hoping to make this a permanent side job! I will do my absolute best to meet your pet’s needs, whether that is playing indoors/outdoors or walking I will do my best to tend to their needs :)
About: I have had dogs since I was eight years old! When it comes to family and friends, I have had the opportunity to dog sit and care for their pets whenever they need! I have owned small dogs and big dogs and love to connect with all kinds of animals! I’m currently working a part-time job! I am available after 2:30pm everyday or earlier! I am also available on the weekends for the majority of the day! I have a fenced in backyard along with 2 large breed dogs who live with me! I live less than 10 minutes from a park that allows all breeds of dogs where I love to walk my own large breed dogs!
