“Hadija was fantastic! She took very good care of Max while we were away. She followed all of my instructions and sent frequent updates in terms of photos and videos. She showed concern when Max wouldn’t eat and even spoon fed him when necessary. I highly recommend Hadija and would certainly use her in the future.”

“I appreciate Jaden’s help petsitting. Jaden was kind and polite. Jaden respected my requests and was attentive to my dogs needs when I checked in. Jaden went above & beyond offering pictures of my dog and as well gave me a summary of care when I returned. Truly a responsible professional petsitter in my eyes. I already rebooked Jaden for another time. Thank you Jaden!”

“Liana was wonderful and took great care of my dogs. She communicated with me sending me pictures and updates. She followed my care instructions beautifully and my home was clean upon my return. She was also very flexible when our flights were canceled. I definitely plan on using her again in the future. She do a great job!”

“Brittany was amazing! She watched our three dogs overnight. They absolutely loved her and immediately accepted her as part of their family. She arranged, on her own time, to come and meet the dogs, and me, before she accepted the job to be sure it was a good fit. While we were away she kept us updated by sending us many pictures and letting us know how the dogs were doing. If she had any questions, she asked us for clarification. I would highly recommend Brittany and we will be asking her to watch our pack again I am sure.”

“Brittany is reliable, communicative, extremely conscientious and friendly. She took great care of my 2 cats and even brought my shy guy out of his shell. Highly recommend!!”

About: Hi! I'm Jenna :) I've had a love for animals for as long as I can remember and have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I previously lived and helped care for my sister's baby (my nephew hehe), Blu (a pit bull), and two sassy little kittens. I'm currently in college and can't wait to have a little animal family of my own someday, but for now I truly love pet sitting and would be so grateful to care for your pets like they're my own. I'm especially comfortable with big + high energy dogs, but I truly love dogs of all sizes (I regularly take care of my friend's chihuahua too!). Blu has separation anxiety and is reactive so I'm very used to being patient, attentive, and aware of triggers to keep walks and interactions safe. I also have an athletic background and am confident when handling strong dogs, even during training/high energy moments. I help reinforce basic training like leash walking, heel, and recall during walks. I love staying active with dogs and making sure they feel comfy, safe and cared for while you're away. + I'll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins!! I have a flexible schedule and can plan my days around the pets I’m caring for. I’m available for overnight stays, drop-ins, and walks, and I prioritize sticking to each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable. I just ask for at least 4 days’ notice for bookings so I can plan accordingly and give your pet the best care possible. I provide care in my client’s home and make sure to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable in their own environment. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m very attentive and experienced with high-energy, anxious, and reactive dogs, so I’m always aware of my surroundings and keep walks safe and controlled. I also have experience babysitting, so I’m very respectful of others’ homes and comfortable with light housekeeping if needed. I make sure doors, leashes, and spaces are always secure, and I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve been a professional pet caregiver for the last 20 years, so it’s safe to say I’ve seen it all! Whether it’s a high-energy dog walk or quality time with a picky cat, I’m all about positive reinforcement and understanding what makes each pet tick. I also have extensive experience with TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) and managing feral colonies, so I’m very comfortable with shy, nervous, or 'difficult' personalities. From adventurous pups to senior cats who just want a quiet head scratch, I’m here to make sure every animal feels safe and loved while you’re away. I take my job seriously, but my main goal is to be the best part of your pet's day! As a teacher, my schedule is mostly part-time, but I’m very flexible and always try my best to accommodate your needs! Whether you need a regular mid-day check-in or a last-minute visit, I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits perfectly for your pet. Just send me a message and we can make it work! When your dog stays with us, they’re truly part of the family! We share our home with two very friendly cats who are used to having canine visitors, and my entire household is made up of skilled animal lovers. Because we’re a family of 'pet people,' your pup will get constant attention, rounds of play, and plenty of couch cuddles. If your dogs are cat-friendly and love being around people, they’re welcome to stay with us for as long as they need—we’ll treat them just like one of our own!
“We were very happy with Madeline and felt comfortable with her in our home with Ruby. She asked all the right questions and had Ruby's best interest at heart. We appreciated Madeline's promptness in returning messages and her flexibility with Ruby's schedule. We would recommend Madeline for house or pet sitting.”

“Yana took the time to visit with our family before staying at our home with Charlie. He had instantly taken to her gentle manner which made us feel so comfortable. She exercised patience with his sometimes stubborn but lovable manner. We loved her daily texts with pictures outlining how the day went. I feel at ease knowing she is caring for our Charlie.”

About: Been around dogs my entire life and when I was in high school I got one of my own. A beautiful German Shepherd I named Rocky, who stole my heart. His energy was always high and puppy like, but he was well behaved and calm when it was time to be. He has recently passed, but he lives on in my heart. I raised him on my own from a pup through potty training, chewing, and walking on leash. He would respond to basic and advanced commands also able to walk off leash without running off. I have recent experience with senior care just having gone through caring for a sick and elderly dog. He was around 95 pounds and I was able to help him get around, I’m capable to assist any elderly dog however they might need it. Started my own personal training business, but most people are available after normal business hours. So that leaves me free with large breaks during the day which would be perfect for me to baby sit while their owner is working. My schedule is mostly flexible, allowing for long walks and supervised relaxing, but if any type of emergency were to come up, my partner works from home to administer care and constant love so don't be worried your pet will never be alone. We have a house with a fenced in yard. We can walk, play or just hangout. I like to go on a walk first to make sure your dog is comfortable with me, and I will do whatever is possible to make sure your dog is loved how you would love them. If they’re comfortable using a crate I can provide them with one and a soft bed. I have dog bowls for water and will feed them as often as you prefer. Your pet will be physically and mentally simulated making sure they don’t get bored and are always having fun.
“Wilson was awesome! Our dog isn’t the friendliest with others, but Wilson took a chance with our family and we’re so grateful that he did. We gave him very specific instructions since our dog is very particular, and he followed everything perfectly. On top of that, he made the effort to play with our dog and give him attention — and to our surprise, our dog (who usually takes a long time to warm up to anyone) was comfortable with Wilson in just two days! He truly went above and beyond. We are so grateful and thankful. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Wilson to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring person to watch their pet. Highly recommend!”

About: I have worked with young puppies and senior dogs. I have provided injections and oral medications. I make sure to learn about each dogs preference because like humans they are all different! I currently work a full time job. I am available in the evening hours from 6pm-10pm. On the weekends I am more flexible with my scheduling. I am available to house sit Saturdays and Sundays, just shoot me a message to schedule in advance! I can do drop in visits almost every day, it’s a little hard to make your schedule with rover - if anything please feel free to send me a message to discuss needs and scheduling :) I would hope to create a comfortable walking environment for your little one to enjoy. I stick to your normal walking routes to ease your pets into good walking sessions. At drop in visits I monitor your pet and take time to play with them as well.
About: Hello! I’m Irina and I love dogs! I have either owned a family dog or have taken care of pets for almost 30 years! I would love the opportunity to care for your pet! Just give me directions on walking habits, feeding habits and play time habits and your dog will have a very fun time! I’m attentive and caring and have a car to be able to take your pet to the park at any time! I prefer to take care of small dogs and medium size dogs. Your furry one will have my full attention if I get to care for them. I have references should you need them. I look forward to hearing from you. I’m currently available to care for your dogs when I am I not volunteering! Weekends I am typically in Pennsylvania but anytime during the weekday I am happy to walk or stay with your pup! I read the instructions carefully and make sure that any medication that is required is taken and love to provide them an exciting but also calming experience.
“Connie did a great job taking care of our cat, Marvel, while we were away for one week. It was the first time Marvel was pet sat without her sister, Tasha, our dog who recently passed. Through this adjustment, Marvel certainly gave Connie a run for her money, but Connie made sure she was handled with care. We appreciated Connie's communication and commitment, and we hope to work with her again in the future. Thank you, Connie!!”

About: I’ve had and taken care of cats since I was born, along with rabbits and guinea pigs. I love spending time with, cuddling up, and playing with my pets. I have also occasionally taken care of neighbors pets, which included feeding and spending time with their cats twice a day for several days. Over the past two years, I have watched my friends dog while she was away, which included walks, feeding, and spending time with him for a weekend. I work full time and do not currently own any pets of my own, giving me more time to focus on your pet and their needs. I have an open apartment with space for your pet to run around and lounge. I can have a litter box and food/water bowls set up as needed, along with toys scattered. I don’t have any unsafe furniture or devices set up that could injure your pet.
“We will continue to book Ethan again and again. He took the best care of our large dog, checked in each day, and left the house in better shape than he found it. Super professional, kind, and our dog just loved him. Highly recommend.”

“At the risk of writing such a glowing review that Jennifer becomes so popular that she's no longer available to watch our boys, I have to say having her pet sit was an across the board excellent experience. Our prior sitter bailed on us last minute and Jennifer came through with professionalism on very short notice. She came very prepared and took notes on how we like to have things done. The photos she sent every few days of our trip made us very comfortable with the level of care our boys were receiving and made it clear how much they enjoyed her company. I think it's safe to say they are still missing her! I highly recommend hiring Jennifer, and look forward to doing so again soon!”

About: I have always had animals in my life. Always. When i was 16 i began volunteering at bridgewater animal shelter, cleaning the kennels even in the cold of winter, dog.walking and exercising them with jogs and tennis balls for as long and often as i could. When I moved to california and didnt know any people there i began volunteering at a no kill shelter and learned some of the medical side of pet care. Everything from grooming to administering medications and even some of the more sensitive sides of pet care like end of life. I have a love for animals and a knack for understanding what they need. If its a slow approach as they get to know me, or rolling around in the yard while we play fetch. I do not typically like using protective gear like chain gloves as i feel it puts both animal and handler in a catious and distrusting state of mind right off the bat. I refuse to use choke or pinch collars. I have never been bitten and i believe that is partly due to body language and understanding boundaries. I am currently the proud owner of two well behaved and loving cats. My family says i somehow have always had the best pets but i believe its because i treat them with love and respect and provide them attention when they want it and space when they dont. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. I am a bigger guy so large dogs are not a problem. Dog breeds with bad reputation (pits, rotties, dobermans, shepherds) are often my favorites to work with as they have huge hearts and just want to be loved and treated well. I hope this gives you some insight into who i am and how i will respect both you, your family, and your furry friends. I am a rolling stone. I have worked years in a corporate environment with some success. I have worked almost an equal amount in construction. Everything from house framing in the dead of winter to roofing in the summers. The last 9 years i have been with the NHL as an arena technician for devils and ranger home games, but i believe i will be tapering down my time with them to pursue other interests. My schedule is entirely my own so i am nearly always available. I am not currently providing a boarding service but i have provided services to pet owners at their residences. I can provide 24hour services for your pet at your residence or just comfort and feeding for an hour or two. I am respectful, friendly, and reliable.
“Rosanna was fantastic! She watched Sadie for a week in my home and I couldn't have felt better knowing that she was there taking care of her. Sadie took to her instantly and clearly knew that she would be in good hands! Throughout the week Rosanna was in regular communication giving updates and pictures. When Sadie wasn't eating as much and having some tummy troubles Rosanna was on top of it trying some home remedies first and then taking her to the vet to make sure that Sadie was alright. She treated Sadie like she was her own. Rosanna is absolutely wonderful and I couldn't recommend her enough! Your dog will be in great hands with Rosanna!”

Alex did house sitting for Kiwi for 2 days and was absolutely wonderful with her! He took such good care of her, made sure she was fed, and took her on walks whenever needed. I really appreciate the love and attention he gave, and I’ll definitely be booking him again for Kiwi’s future needs. Highly recommend!

Chantal was absolutely fantastic with our dogs. She was able to handle their needs extremely well and left us with no worries at all. She kept us updated with regular texts and pictures and we could tell that our dogs liked her as well :) Would definitely ask her again to take care of our dogs..
