4. James F.
“I wholeheartedly recommend James as a pet sitter and dog walker on Rover. James has cared for my pets on numerous occasions, and he always treats them with the same love and attention as if they were his own. His calm demeanor, patience, and natural connection with animals instantly put them at ease. Beyond being great with pets, James is a responsible, dependable, and caring individual who takes pride in delivering excellent service. I’m confident he would provide safe, loving care for any pet, and his friendly and professional attitude makes him a pleasure to work with.”


5. Alex M.

“Alex was great with our dogs. We have a German Shepherd mix who has to warm up to someone. Alex did wonderful with understanding that need and let him warm up and ask for attention & love. Our other dog is very social but doesn’t like fireworks. We really appreciated that he reached out to check on her needs for New Year’s Eve. We will definitely use Alex again for our dogs.”


6. Katy O.

“Katy was amazing during her extended stay with our dog Josie. She sent regular pictures and updates and I can tell Josie was happy with her. Cant say enough about how great it was to have Katy watching Josie in our home. Would bring her back anytime!”


7. Anisa L.
“I have had Anisa watch my dog, Dax (German Shephard) several times over last year and a half. We use her every time we go on vacation and or are away for the kid's sports. She has always taken very good care of him with no issues, even going as far as sending us good morning pics of him playing. Our neighbor has also started using her service when they are out of town instead of kenneling their two dogs. In my opinion this is much easier on the dog as they are still in their home. I would without hesitation recommend her services to anyone who doesn't want to kennel their dog.”


8. Christina P.

“Christina is very sweet, very professional, accommodating, and wonderful with our pet! I have been very grateful to know our girl is being so wonderfully cared for!”


9. Kathy L.
“Kathy has years of experience working at petsmart hotel. She also has a husky of her own. She is a animal lover since she was little. I trust her with my animals with all my heart. She also worked at a vet.”


10. Mario C.

“Mario did a really nice job caring for my little cattle dog Lucy while house sitting for me! He was communicative, kind, caring, and followed the instructions I left for my dog and my house. I’ve moved into this area recently and have not been able to find a reliable pet sitter to stay in my home when I am away for work- until now :) I will definitely reach out to Mario again as my top choice. Thank you again!”


11. Morgan T.

“Morgan is great with Benny; he gets excited when he sees her even though it means we are leaving. She sends tons of photos and even stayed with him on NYE in case fireworks scared him!”


12. Shea W.
About: When I watch any animal for the many families I already dog sit for, I promise to treat their pets like they’re my own. I have a huge love for dogs and enjoy getting to spend my days playing and taking care of them. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats of my own that I love with all my heart so I know how important it is to find someone who will love them like I do when I’m not home. I have experience staying overnight with dogs whether it be for one night or multiple nights in a row. I have worked with elderly dogs and puppies and I am happy to work with either. I have been responsible for giving medications on strict time schedules, I have not had to administer shot medication to dogs, only pills, but am willing to learn if needed. I would love to become a part of a new dog family and give your pets the love they need when you can’t, please feel free to reach out with anymore questions! I currently work full time with children with autism. Though I do work full time I have many breaks between sessions where I am able to check in on your pets and let them out. I don’t work nights or weekends where I would be able to give your pets my undivided attention! I always keep a close eye on pets in my care. While I am in your home I will be present with your pets and give them all the love and care they need.

About: Hello! My name is Maria. I have owned dogs all through out my life, all breeds and sizes, and I am the first person my family and friends call to watch their pups! I have always grown up with dogs and had family dogs since I was a kid. I have my own rescue named cooper who is an 6 year old Australian Shepard, pit bull mix. He is full of energy and sass! Experience with many breeds and sizes, elderly dogs with specific needs, separation anxiety, leash aggression etc... I have training experience with leash walking, basic training, tricks and certain behavioral training experience. Your furry friends will get lots of love and care.

14. Angela B.

17. Erika R.

“Erika did a nice job of handling Skip, who can be a handful. She was responsive to me when I reached out and sent pictures. The house was neat and tidy when I got home. I was grateful for her work and already have her scheduled for the end of the month.”


18. Chris D.
About: Dogs (and other pets) have been a part of my family since I was a child and we had our first Golden Retriever puppy, who was part of our life until he passed from age. Since having my own family, we have always had a dog in the house. I know the importance of having someone there to care for your dog overnight or just to have them cared for through the workday. Extra messes and regular messes are no problem, just a part of having a pet. Giving regular medicine and care is also an important part of providing for the needs of a pet. I have done dog training with all the dogs we have had and will learn your system as well as be a confident and caring sitter. Pet care is my current summer job, I am available most nights, and would have the availability to provide care throughout the day during the week, depending on travel distance. When caring for my pets we prioritize play and attention given to them. We have used fenced yards and long lead leashes before as well. Caring for other's pets I pay attention to their routines and preferences, what works for my dogs and pets does not always work for others so learning about their needs is key. Pets need love, routines, and consistency, and when I care for others following the instructions and needs of the family is what I will strive to carry out.


19. Ana P.
“Ana is an exceptional dog sitter who truly stands out in her care and attention to pets. She has a remarkable ability to connect with dogs. During the time she cared for my Labrador, Max, her expertise in handling his high energy and playfulness was outstanding. Ana provided regular updates with photos, ensuring peace of mind. Her professionalism, punctuality, and obvious love for animals make her an ideal choice for any pet owner. I highly recommend Ana for her trustworthy and loving care, and Max can't wait for his next stay with her!”
