“Megan watched my dog Sander while I was away on a cruise. I was nervous at first because Sander was terminally ill but Megan was able to keep him comfortable and give his medications when he needed them. I would happily hire Megan again and can’t wait to do so with my other pets in the future!”

28. Katie S.
About: Hi, I’m Katie — a lifelong dog lover with a heart for all furry friends! Whether your pup needs a fun walk, cozy overnight care, or just some loving company while you’re away, I’m here to help. I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I know just how much they mean to your family. I offer reliable, safe, and tail-wagging good care—whether it’s a gentle stroll for a senior dog or an energetic romp for a playful pup. I’m detail-oriented, communicative, and always treat your dog like one of my own. Let me give you peace of mind while you’re away—because your dog deserves the very best! Can’t wait to meet your four-legged friend! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I’m an early riser and love starting my day with a walk, which makes morning drop-ins and walks easy to accommodate. In the evenings, I enjoy unwinding with neighborhood walks or cuddle time—perfect for overnight stays or evening check-ins. Caring for pets fits seamlessly into my lifestyle, and I genuinely enjoy spending my time with animals. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, safety and trust are my top priorities. I always take time to understand each pet’s unique needs, routine, and personality so they feel comfortable and secure. In your home, I respect your space as if it were my own—following all instructions closely, maintaining your pet’s routine, and keeping you updated with messages and photos. If I’m walking your dog, I use secure leashes, avoid unsafe areas, and keep a close eye on their behavior and surroundings. If I’m welcoming your pet into my home, they’ll have a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, play, and cozy rest areas. I never leave pets unattended and make sure they’re always safe, happy, and loved.

“Hannah is terrific with dogs! She clearly enjoys being with them. Hannah is conscientious and reliable. She has bonded well with each of my 2 dogs. My dog is always happy to see her! She communicates well. I highly recommend her for pet-sitting and dog-walking. Susan B”


30. A D.

“A.D was an excellent cat sitter for my weekend away. They asked very good questions, came consistently at the same time everyday so my cats knew when they were coming, and really made the effort to get to know my cats and their quirks. They were extremely nice and clearly cares about all pets. Would hire again. 10/10”


31. Liza N.
“I've known Liza for 6 years and thorughout that entire time it has been very apparent that she has a deep love and care towards not only her own dogs but all dogs she encounters. I've never witnessed a time that Liza has passed a dog on the road without stopping to pet and play with the animal, she is also always interested in the dog, and converses with the owner for a good while before we part ways and continue our walk. Liza has had a family dog her entire life, she is well comfortable with living with and caring for dogs. For long stretches of time she was the main caregiver for her family's dog. In college, Liza undertook the major responsibility of rescuing a puppy. Liza spent the last two years of college raising an energetic puppy while keeping on top of her studies and part-time job. Liza is more than qualified to care for, walk, and play with the lucky dog owners that receive her as a pet carer through Rover.”


32. Sue M.

“Sue is great! She is very reliable and on time! She is caring and makes sure my baby dog is safe… I would highly recommend! Thanks Sue! 🙂”


33. Anna K.

“Anna was awesome with our cat Beyoncé! She provided detailed updates and great pics while we were away so we could relax and know our kitty was in great hands. We’d definitely have Anna sit for us again!”




34. Naomi B.
“Naomi knows dogs and is incredibly responsible. She will treat your dog as though it were her own. If I were a dog I would want Naomi to be my mom.”


35. Joshua D.
“Josh is a true animal lover! Every animal I've ever seen him interact with love him and he can't help but greet every dog he passes. My cat (who historically doesn't like anyone but me) warmed right up to him and honestly I think he prefers him over me even. I would have complete trust in him to care for any of my pets!”


36. Danielle S.

“Danielle comes by twice a week to check in on my pup while I’m at work and I get such peace of mind from her frequent updates and pictures. My dog also gets so excited to see her each week! I find it difficult to trust people with my dog but Danielle is very trustworthy, reliable and knowledgeable on dogs/dog behaviors.”


37. Victoria P.
“Victoria is extremely loving, reliable, and trustworthy. She has cared for my American bully pup on multiple occasions I couldn’t recommend her more. She is exceptionally professional and responsible. 5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


38. Jillian H.

“Jillian was great! She took wonderful care of my cats while we were on vacation. She fed and played with them and sent us great pics while we were away. Book with confidence”


39. Christine T.
“Christine is an amazing pet sitter! She is trustworthy, professional, caring, reliable, and responsive. My dogs are always relaxed and happy after their stay with Christine. I know she cares for them as of they were her own. It's not easy for us to leave our pets but we never have to worry or feel guilty when they are cared for by Christine. We will always turn to Christine for all of our pet sitting needs and will continue to highly recommend her services. Edmund & Jenny Almeida”
