“Mary was amazing she knew exactly what to do for the weekend while I was away and was able to spend time with my dog Jax and Cat Scout. I will definitely use Mary again in the future”

“Sophia is absolutely wonderful and our pups love her! We booked several times with her and would definitely do so again. She took wonderful care of our pets and home.”

“Norah was amazing! My dog can be a little skeptical at times and she took the time to stay as long as she could at out meet and greet until they became comfortable with each other. She was on time, gave updates and sent pictures. 10 out of 10”


About: I’ve been around dogs all my life, and adopted a pug of my own 12 years ago, so I understand what an important part of the family pets are. I’ve watched dogs from 2 months to 14 years old, from an overweight chihuahua to an old Great Dane. Currently I have a labradoodle and French bulldog that I’ve raised since they were puppies. Currently working from home, so I have time to pop in and check on your pups, or dog sit on the weekends if you need. I will treat your pets like my own - walking them, administering medications, feeding them, whatever is needed. Happy to help take care of your pets.

“Hunter was really accommodating when we got sick while trying to schedule our meet & greet for a last minute trip. She did great with the dogs & allowed us a stress free weekend away!”


“Ashley was available to watch our dog when we made last minute changes to our plans and needed to be away for an extra night. She was wonderful with Maisie. She sent pictures and kept us updated on how Maisie was doing. Maisie was very well cared for. We'd highly recommend Ashley and have already asked her to watch Maisie again in the future.”


About: I grew up with dogs and have been walking/caring for them as soon as I was able to! Since probably around age 15 I started dog walking and cat sitting for neighbors, family and friends. I worked at a doggy daycare / boarding facility last year which I absolutely adored. I have experience working with various breeds, ages, and needs. I’m good with pets with stranger danger, dogs that pull / are anxious around other dogs, senior dogs, puppies, sick pets, clean up, and handling medication. Have basic bathing experience but not grooming. Unfortunately, I’m currently unable to have a pup of my own so I love that I’d be able to get that love on rover! Looking to do drop ins, walks, overnights - not currently boarding but open to discussing. Love hiking and would love to bring your pup too if you’d like. See my cat care details for info on cats. I’m a total crazy cat lady with 3 of my own! I’ve been fostering for many years and am good with dog/cat combos. Open to other animal care as well (fish, birds, reptiles, rodents etc.) I’m a graduate student so my schedule is pretty flexible. Looking forward to hearing from you! 😻 I’m currently a full time graduate student evening nights and weekends are typically my most free times. I am usually unavailable Monday from 10-1, Tuesday Wednesday Friday from 830-430 and Thursday from 830-11:15 and 2-4:45. I do have cats of my own so I’m not currently boarding. Open to overnights I have 3 cats of my own that I love more than anything. I’ve been fostering for years. I rescued my last cat a year ago after she was badly abused and feral. It took less than a month for her to turn around and now she’s the sweetest baby who is always seeking cuddles. I’m clean, responsible, and flexible and will always give my 100% when caring for your babies! I am a total animal lover, and if your pet loves attention, I’m all for it & if they don’t, I know to respect it. I have bathing experience as well if you’d like me to do baths. If you’d like a more challenging walk for your pup, I’m a big hiker with my own car and would love to bring them along if they have flea/tick prevention. Also good with medication. Not currently boarding but open to having conversations if you have a smaller dog or need cat boarding.


“Jessica was lovely to work with. She sent pictures of our dogs to me every day that we were away. She also cared for our chickens. She was respectful of our home and communicated what times she would be there. Will use again in the future!”


About: I can take care of any kind of common household pet (dogs, cats, guinea pigs, etc). I can also work well with any kind of dog, from pitbull to shitzu. I'm currently attending college full-time, but I only commute in to school during the week. I go in at 8:12AM and return home at 3:00 PM I have a big yard which gives pups lots of room to burn some energy. I also have a friendly dog of my own who loves to have some company!

Jeffrey M.
“I highly recommend Jeffrey as a dog sitter on Rover. He has many years of experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and his passion for animals is immediately clear to anyone who knows him. Jeffrey is currently the proud owner of a lovable Labradoodle and a playful French Bulldog, both of whom are incredibly well cared for and happy. He goes above and beyond to ensure their physical and emotional needs are met—whether that means long walks, playtime, grooming, or simply offering a calm, loving presence. In addition to being responsible and attentive, Jeffrey has a natural connection with animals. Dogs gravitate toward him, and he’s quick to notice and respond to their needs. His home is a safe, clean, and welcoming environment, and he always prioritizes the well-being of the dogs in his care. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and truly dedicated to dogs, Jeffrey would be an excellent choice.”
