As a new dog mom I was hesitant to leave my puppy with a sitter. But I am happy to say that Atticia made me feel very comfortable. She responded to messages in a timely manner and kept me informed with pictures and videos throughout his stay. I will definitely use her again.

My pup has done daycare with Jason three times now and she runs up to his front door excited each time. Jason shares photos and videos each day and maps of their walks and bathroom breaks. He’s a great communicator and it’s so comforting to leave my (big) dog with him when I’m at work knowing she’s fully taken care of. Can’t recommend him enough!

Sadia was great our dog! He’s definitely on the younger / more active side and she did an amazing job handling his energy. I’ve tried lots of daycare places and it always seemed like he used to come home sad, but not after his visit with Sadia. Would recommend / rebook.

About: I’m a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds, from energetic puppies to quirky seniors. I work from home, so I’m able to offer tons of attention, exercise, and consistency throughout the day. Having lived with everything from labs to Pyrenees mixes, I understand the importance of meeting each dog’s unique needs, whether that’s structured walks, gentle senior care, or patient socialization for shy pups. I’m comfortable with big dogs and independent personalities, and my own experience training puppies and supporting older dogs means your pup is in caring, knowledgeable hands.What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for a variety of breeds—including puppies and seniors—and my work-from-home flexibility means dogs get real companionship and attention all day. I understand big, independent, and quirky personalities, and I prioritize individualized care, from puppy training to gentle support for older dogs. I take the time to get to know every dog, building trust through patience, routine, and play. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, not an afterthought. Since I work from home, I’m able to integrate walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day—whether it’s a morning stroll, afternoon games in the park, or relaxed evenings together. My routine is flexible, so dogs always get outside for fresh air and exercise and receive plenty of attention between my work sessions. On weekends, I love exploring new neighborhoods, local parks, or heading to the beach—always bringing dogs along for new adventures. Whether it’s active pups needing stimulation or seniors who prefer a calm presence, I adapt my days to make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and part of my everyday world. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and integrated into my daily routine—regular walks to nearby parks or the beach, supervised playtime, and cozy rest spots throughout my home. I keep to each dog’s familiar schedule as much as possible, including feeding times, exercise, and any training or medication routines. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely, from special diet needs to unique quirks or favorite toys, and keep in touch with updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and cared for. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, structure, and genuine affection—whether they’re here for a day, a weekend, or longer.

About: I have never owned my own dog or cat (due to brothers allergies) so I grew up determined to find ways to hang out with other peoples! I’ve watched dogs and cats of all types/ages/personalities. I hope I get the chance to meet your furry friend! I’m currently unemployed, training for a Pilates instructor certification and so I have ample time to look after, feed, and play with the pets! I keep a very clean apartment, with an extra deep clean before pets arrive to ensure nothing is stepped on or eaten, I have ample space for the pet to have their own area or hang out with me and not feel cramped.

About: Hi There, Thanks for your interest in my services. I’m currently the dog dad of a Staffy/Husky mix named Ocean. She is a very good girl- dog and human lover at heart. Ocean is a very loyal companion and friend. I have grown up with pets in my home since a child and truly love all animals. I’m very familiar with animal handling and have worked with puppies, teens and seniors of both cats and dogs. When previously house sitting and boarding for neighbors and friends for the past 8 years I’ve learned that I am a true animal lover and protector with knowledgeable traits on body interpretation and breed familiarity. Home services are so important! Pets are happier and experience less stress when they are home. Diet and exercise routines are uninterrupted. Travel trauma for both owner and pet is eliminated— plus the guaranteed comfort and safety of your family members. I take pride and joy in caring for each and every client individually. I am a full time Pet Caretaker available for daily drop ins and house sittings— with due notice I am pretty flexible and understanding. During boarding or daycare pets will be taken out every 2 hours in groups that best fit their temperament and energy level. Please review 7 day cancellation policy details. A meet and greet will be required for a proper evaluation of your pet. All pets must be up to date on all vaccinations- with proof. Mandatory questionnaire must be filled out prior to scheduled meet and greets to give an accurate evaluation as well as getting every important detail about your pet. My home has a fenced in yard. All pets will be supervised 24/7. Must be crate trained or training. No aggression what so ever, this includes resource guarding of foods, toys, anything. Safety is the number 1 concern always. Pet CPR certified and insured.

About: Im an all around animal lover from reptiles ,to aquatic animals , small animals large animals you name it. I have multiple pets in my home. But over all i love dogs and the bonds we make with them. Ive been around dogs longer than I can remember. Ive owned and raised multiple dogs multiple breeds from as small as pomeranians to as large as german sheapards. Ive sat for all kinds of animals in the past but mainly dogs. I have basic training experience, as well as experience in pack walks and boarding multiple dogs with different personalities at one time. I understand that all dogs are different require a different approach and handle. With me your dog is in great hands! I currently work from home. It would be an easy addition to my daily routine. Walks and play time can be easily scheduled in my day. I have a fenced yard. All other animals are small and caged . Spare rooms for crates if needed.. and multiple areas when i board more than one dog so they stay separated if need be. Dogs with environmental sensitivity issues can be placed alone in a separate room if needed. I live 5 min walk from Franklin Park. Where dogs are allowed to walked leashed. Dogs that I build trust with may be walked unleashed. I pretty much have something for every dog situation lol.

About: 🐶Both Noah and I (Jadeth) grew up with dogs in the home from childhood to adulthood! We both have experience with various different breeds from chihuahua, pitbulls, australian shepherds, and huskies! Each of the dogs we cared for had different levels of energy and ages from puppy to senior. 💕I love the pure love and kindness that dogs show towards people! And it is a joy to get to cuddle and hang out with them! -Jadeth 💕My favorite thing about dogs is that no matter what, when you need them they’ll be there. -Noah ⭐️We both have experience with administering medications, managing special diets, and providing care for cats as well! We are both online college students with a ton of extra time to care for your furry friend! Drop-In Visits: We offer drop-in visits every day of the week! -We recommend 60 min visits for dogs that require walks longer than 20mins so there is still time for in-home play/care, or households with several pets (more than 3)! Dog Walking: We offer dog walking every day of the week! -This includes basic meal feedings and water bowl refills as well, but majority of the time will be spent outside! House Sitting: Noah offers house sittings every day of the week! -Please let us know if you would like 24/7 care at your home or if leaving the home for meals, errands, or a quick run home is appropriate with your pet's needs! Pet Boardings: We offer boardings every day of the week! -We prefer about a 2 weeks notice for pet boardings, due to the schedule adjustments they may bring! -We have 2 cats in the home that are typically friendly with other cats or low energy small-medium dogs! -If your dog or cat is not friendly with other cats, we do have a gate that divides up the house so both parties have their own space! Doggy Daycare: We offer doggy daycare every day of the week! -Please let us know if your dog prefers to be alone rather than with other dogs, so we can schedule accordingly! We care for your pets as if they are our own! We prioritize meeting their needs and wants, and making your fur baby feel safe and loved. We follow their food, medication, and potty break routines closely! We do not smoke our the home and have only pet-safe plants around the house! And we will send check-in photos and texts during our visits, boardings, sittings, and walks!

About: What sets me apart is my genuine commitment to the well-being of every pet and my ability to adapt to their individual needs, treating them as if they were part of my own family. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs and cats. With puppies, I help reinforce basic training routines such as potty training, leash walking, and early obedience, always using patience and positive reinforcement. With senior pets, I am especially attentive to their pace, mobility, diet, and medication if needed, providing them with calm, consistent, and gentle care. In addition, I am very observant of animal behavior, which allows me to quickly notice any changes in their mood or health. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and accompanied at all times, while maintaining clear and consistent communication with their owners. More than just pet care, I offer trust, affection, and responsibility. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to caring for pets during the day. I can easily adapt to each pet’s needs, whether it’s visits, walks, or in-home care. I am mainly available on weekdays and can also plan for weekends with advance notice. When caring for pets in my home or in the owner’s home, I make sure to carefully follow all instructions. I maintain their feeding, walking, and rest routines, and provide attention, affection, and a calm environment. I am very mindful of their safety, cleanliness, and well-being, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for at all times.

About: My name is Dave, A mobile gym for the dogs, and make sure they get more than enough exercise. Generally I do group sessions with pups and have them socialize/play. Although I do 1 on 1 sessions as well! I love dogs, cats, and all animals. I grew up with a half black lab half rottweiler. I'll treat your animals as if they were my own. My availability is open during most weeks. Please contact me with any other question you may have. I’m currently working weekends and have open availability during the week between 10am-6pm. I’ll have plenty of time during the day to take animals on walks to local parks. After going over with the pet owners on their animal/s behaviors, I follow their guidelines on how to take care of the pet/s best. Going on walks, playing in parks, or just keeping the animals company in home.

Haley did a great job hosting Marzie, our 8.5 month old puppy, for her first Rover experience. We did a meet & greet a week prior so Marzie was familiar with Haley, which made her comfortable at drop off. Haley was waiting for our 6:30 am arrival and entertained Marzie for 9 hours - sunbathing, walks and playing inside. She was communicative when Marzie didn’t eat her breakfast (normal for her) and made sure she was well taken care of. We would definitely go back to Haley again and recommend her to anyone who needs doggy daycare!

She always responded so quickly and had pictures of Teddy just hanging out or on their walks. I love that she is close to a park so Teddy can walk around some green space and not always on the busy hot city sidewalks. Thanks Lauren!

Bonnie was fantastic with my pup! Rosie has so much energy and usually takes a while to get used to new environments. But with Bonnie, Rosie only took one day to settle and was so excited to go back and spend the day with her. Bonnie came up with creative ways to keep her busy during the day and always sent lots of pics and videos to reassure me that Rosie was in good hands. Rosie came home happy and exhausted every day which was great for me!
