Gillian and Mitch and their four pups are absolutely amazing. They were so welcoming of Biscuit, who fit right in with the pack and had a blast. Came home completely tired and ready for dinner and sleep! Gillian kept me posted if his activities throughout the day. We will definitely go back to her.

We are extremely grateful to have found Anna for our puppy. Chloe had an amazing day full of fun away from her family for the first time. We are so blessed to have found Anna and we definitely will be booking her for the future. Not only is it a fun, loving, safe place but also you can tell she is experienced and loves caring for fur pets. She gave us a report at the end, with a goodie bag and some printed pictures from our pup. She went above and beyond! ❤️🐾

Lianna was absolutely wonderful! I could tell right away how much my 5 month old pup, Snowball, liked her. Snowball seemed so happy and relaxed when I picked her up, and Lianna was so kind as well! She was also so accommodating with a last minute scheduling conflict that I had. Absolutely would recommend!

Chelsea was amazing and my pup must have known the minute he met her. It is rare that he walks right up to anyone he doesn’t know but he did with her. He seemed to have a great time and looked so happy in the pics. This really made me feel good about my choice. Thanks Chelsea. Loved the report card as well. See you next time.

Marianne answered me immediately when I was trying to last minute find a sitter for my pup Luna. She ended up watching Luna the whole week as I was desperate to find someone to help me out since I just moved here and Luna is having such a hard time adjusting to our new apartment while I’m working. Marianne has done nothing but love luna and has been so amazing with her! I finally see lunas personality coming out since adjusting because she has so much fun with Marianne :) Not to mention I have gotten some amazing advice from her in regards to helping my pup adjust! Took luna for several walks each day, played with her, constantly updated me with pics/vids and how luna was doing, and listened to my care plan. We will absolutely be consistently seeing Marianne!

About: I take pride in all thing's pets. I honestly like animals better than people ha-ha. I'm also a great trainer. I work from home as well so Im always available for cuddles. I work from home full-time so I always have time for playtime and cuddles between client appointments. My fur babies are also super sweet and playful so your fur baby is in great paws. I can provide any special attention needed. I have a yard and 4 large parks nearby for playtime. I can also easily crate your fur baby if needed. I can provide any special attention needed.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I could remember. I love them so much. Everyone calls me the dog whisperer whenever they need a helping hand with their fur babies. I do charge an additional fee for gas, due to gas prices being so high and the high intake I receive from my guests. I currently work part time but I’m available usually after 9am throughout the week. I do work weekends usually but I can be flexible with stopping in the morning and evenings times for your fur babies. I am temporarily in a transition moving right now, for the Army National Guard. I am living at Home until I receive my new orders. So I will come to you for any of your visits you need for your fur babies!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my decades of hands-on experience and deep understanding of animal care. With over 43 years caring for cats and 25+ years caring for dogs, I’ve worked with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior and ailing animals requiring patience, specialized care, and medication management. I don’t just provide basic pet sitting—I create an environment where pets feel safe, loved, and truly at home, whether they stay with me or I care for them in their own space. Beyond my personal experience, I’ve also taken dog training class whenever introducing a new pet into my home, ensuring I understand their unique behaviors, training needs, and the best ways to support them. I know that young, high-energy pets need enrichment and engagement, while older or anxious animals require gentle attention, consistency, and compassion. My work-from-home schedule allows me to supervise pets 100% of the time, and my services include everything from snuggles and playtime to feeding, medications, and regular updates with photos and videos. I prioritize individualized care, making sure every pet feels comfortable, happy, and truly part of the family. I currently work from home Saturday through Tuesday, which means those are the days I offer boarding, and I’ll be in the house 100% of the time with your fur babies. I’m available for boarding on Fridays after 6 PM, with pick-up by Tuesday at 9 PM. If you need accommodations outside of these times, exceptions may be possible—we can discuss based on both my schedule, the pet, and your needs. I offer comprehensive, personalized pet care both in my home and in my clients’ homes, ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in their own familiar space, they will receive plenty of snuggles, affection, and one-on-one attention. My services include feeding, medication administration, enrichment activities, playtime (indoor or outdoor as needed), and maintaining their daily routines to minimize stress. I also keep you connected with regular photos and videos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for. Every pet is unique, and I take the time to understand their needs—whether it’s extra cuddle time, mental stimulation, or specialized care—so they feel truly at home, no matter where they are.

About: Hi, I'm Meg and I have been caring for and working with animals almost my entire life. Growing up I would come home constantly with some sort of new animal friend asking if I could keep it. My parents always said yes of course but were very strict when it came to caring for the animal myself, so I have learned a lot over the years. I currently own a dog, two reptiles a snake and a blue tongue skink, and two parrots a Nanday Conure and a green cheek conure. What makes me different I would suppose from other sitters and walkers is I have more in-depth knowledge when it comes to dogs and other animals. I worked at PetSmart for about 6 years and learned all about nutrition, proper toys, and techniques to help dogs and owners learn. I also worked in pet care where it was my job to know proper diets and habitats for reptiles, small animals, birds and fish. I needed to know signs of illness or stress. I moved on in the company as a certified dog trainer. I worked with all kinds of breeds and all sizes. From being a dog trainer I know signs of stress and anxiety and how to help a pet dealing with that. I can help with potty training, basic commands, loose leash walking, tricks and lots of other things. I love animals and couldn't Imagine living without them so I understand what its like to have that piece of mind while away.

About: First time clients can use the promo code below for a discount on your first booking. DAWNA60239 My profile: https://www.rover.com/sit/dawna60239 I have taken care of dogs since I was in my early teens. In addition, through the years, I have also been a pet parent to a horse, guinea pigs, hermit crabs, tropical fish, goldfish, and hamsters. Family and friends routinely ask me for pet care advice since I have had pets for so many years and trained my own puppies through self teaching. I also have experience administering medications. I care for my own four dogs on a daily basis ranging in age from 3 to 17 and have raised them from puppies. We have play time and snuggle time at different times each day. There is plenty of extra time and love each day to care for your fur baby too. I have a fenced yard on just under 1/2 acre, and my four dogs love to romp and play which is part of their daily routine. They also love long walks or going for a car ride. They are all crate trained and feel that their crate is their special place, so the doors are always open for them to have their alone/rest time when they want to after play time (if they are not trying to claim a spot on the couch or in the recliner). One especially likes the couch and the others love to sleep in bed at night.

About: Grew up with cats and dogs. Always made myself available to watch friends pets. Have my own dog now. Want to spend more time with the good-est pooches and kitties. Looking for additional income to take on more pets in my own home! I work from home on my own schedule. So I’m generally open and have the ability to move other commitments, if needed. I’m excited to be taking on a few extra per tasks per day. I have a four bedroom house with securely fenced yard. Only occupied by myself and my friendly, easy-going 10yr old Labradoodle, Reddington. We have plenty of space to play or even just mellow out. I live in a quiet neighborhood with easily walkable streets for even more smells to explore.
