About: Hey there – my name is Nancy, and I’ve taken care of dogs the majority of my life. Starting with my childhood dog, Bandit, a mixed Shepard. As an adult I had a pit bull/boxer mix, Vedder. I had Vedder for 12 years. After Vedder, I had a beagle/boxer mix, Killian. I currently do not have a dog of my own. This gives me plenty of time to take care of your dog I am an experienced sitter, and did walker who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times… I have yet to prove them wrong. I’m currently not working. This gives me plenty of time to spend with your pet. I’m available both days and nights to watch, walk or play with your dog. To ensure the safety and well-being of pets under my care, I would first familiarize myself with each pet’s specific needs, behaviors, and any medical conditions. This includes understanding their diet, exercise routine, allergies, or medications they may be on. During walks, I would keep them on a leash at all times. Moreover, for both walks and sitting sessions, I’d maintain regular communication with the pet owners by providing updates and promptly reporting any unusual behavior. Maintaining vigilance, open communication, and being prepared for unexpected situations are crucial aspects of ensuring the safety and well-being of pets under my care. I am not a certified dog trainer, but I did successfully train my pit bull/boxer, Vedder, and my beagle/boxer, Killian. When you board your dog with me, you can expect a quality stay. Your dog will not only be well looked after, they will go on some cool walking adventures. I’m located near three beaches, and three parks. One of the parks has a bike/walking path. I keep the owner updated with pics and text. I also use a walking app that shows where we walked, how far we walked and how long we walked. When you leave your dog in my care, you can enjoy your vacation knowing that your dog is also having fun.

About: Hi fellow dog lovers! We’re Taylor and Mark, dog sitters along with our dog Callie. We would be more than happy to help with any dog sitting or boarding needs. We can take care of small, medium, and large dogs as well as all ages. I trained Callie myself when she was a scared rescue at 5 months old with a professional dog trainer. She is a great dog that’s now more social than ever! We love and take care of her very well so you can expect the same for your dog. If you have any requirements or preferences, let us know and we’d be most likely able to abide by them. Contact us if you’re interested! I have a flexible schedule working from home 3 days a week and Mark is home when I’m not. We are available most weekends. We can take care of your dog or dogs for multiple days at a time if our schedules align. We live in a large clean apartment with a yard and plenty of space to play. We take Callie on long walks and take her out every 2-4 hours so we would do the same for your dog unless less time is needed. We live alone with Callie, so it would be just us and your dog. We adopted Callie, a labrador retriever mix, 3 years ago so we have plenty of experience taking care of her and other neighborhood dogs. If you have any requirements or preferences, let us know and we’d be most likely able to abide by them.

“Ange was amazing. She looked after my two kitties while I was traveling. Every day, she dropped by for 30 minutes, providing the kitties with wet food, handling their litter boxes, giving them company, etc. She sends amazing picture and written updates—reading her updates was one of the highlights of my day while traveling. She is super accommodating and follows instructions very accurately. I totally trusted her and will use her again and would recommend her. The only minor downside is that she sometimes had to miss the regular schedule and come a bit later. It’s not a big deal, but I feel having an exact schedule could be more comforting for the cats. But again, this is a small thing and not a big deal.”

“Dani has taken care of Gambit and Logan many times before joining rover. She has been able to give Gambit his medication when he needed it. She quickly learned their quirks and ensures they get personalized attention when she comes by (Gambit likes to sit on the patio for a few minutes and Logan loves to play). Her love for animals is strong. We will continue to usw Dani!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Katherine and would absolutely recommend her. She came twice a day for a full week, spending an hour each visit, and was incredibly attentive to our cat’s needs the entire time. She made sure everything was taken care of, spent quality time playing with our cat, and clearly built a great bond with her. Our cat really loved her. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away knowing our cat was in such caring and capable hands. We would happily book with her again!”

“Tommy was wonderful with our two cats. They were especially patient with our elderly cat who needed more time to eat. They took their time feeding and playing with the cats, made sure the doors were locked, and were kind enough to bring in any packages that were delivered when we were gone. Would definitely contact again next time we need a sitter.”

“Jadeth and Noah did a great job watching Oreo! While he is a very social cat, he is also prone to getting scared and hiding. He hasn't been coming out in recent times when people have watched him for me. I was very impressed with how confidently Jadeth and Noah approached him, and he warmed up very fast. This eased my mind, as he is young and needs a lot of socialization. Would definitely reach out to them again!”

She was able to drop by once she'd landed to meet the dogs and go over logistics. 10/10 would recommend, we got photos so quickly and my two dogs were tired and happy (and relieved lol) 😊”

About: Lifelong dog owner & runner. I have a Vizsla and understand high energy breeds exercise needs and the play/affection of all dogs! Looking forward to bonding with your 🐕 and making sure they are healthy and happy! I work 3 12hr shifts at a hospital and have the flexibility to help with morning, afternoon or evening walks on several days a week. I’m a very active person and constantly out with my own dog. It’s my happy place to be outside and I’m looking forward to helping your dog walking or drop-in visit needs while you are away or at work. Please let me know your dog’s particular needs for drop-in visits. Any food/treats or medication they may need. Any allergies. If a dog walk, please let me know if your dog is friendly with other dogs or timid (if I should cross the street to avoid another dog interaction). This way I can ensure a safe and happy walk for your dog!

Amber was fantastic! I reached out with a last minute need for someone to check in on and feed our cat Oliver while we were away for a few days, and amber responded super quickly and was even able to come over the next day to meet Oliver and get the lay of the land. She took excellent care of Oliver, sending regular pictures and updates, and it was such a relief to know he had someone looking in on him while we were gone. Thank you Amber!

Rebecca is a life saver, and exactly who you want watching your dog. My sweet pup is an anxious rescue with trauma, and this is the first time she’s had a sitter. I was so worried about how she would react to a stranger coming in and taking her for a walk, I honestly wasn’t sure if it would be possible. Not only did Rebecca get her to go out on walks, she even got her comfortable enough to snuggle! I’m so grateful to her for sharing her kind energy with the local dogs, we’re all honestly so lucky that people like her are on this app!!

Nick did a fantastic job looking after my cat. He was very responsive, followed all instructions, gave my cat his required medicine, and even changed the booking to come a day earlier when I realized that I had my scheduled mixed up. He was on time and very helpful. Highly recommend Nick's services. Thank you Nick!

We had a wonderful experience with Katherine! She took great care of Bobby and Ginny for a couple of weeks, followed our care guide carefully, and sent thoughtful daily text and picture updates. She was always communicative and responsive, even with our 7-hour time difference. We came home to two happy, healthy cats and an apartment that was much cleaner than we expected! We would absolutely recommend her and would love to have her watch Bobby and Ginny again.
