About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I turned 15! I have experience caring for my own animals, alongside those of neighbors, friends and family members. I have experience in caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets. I will ensure that your dog’s needs are met while you are gone. I am a super detailed oriented person; therefore, if your dog has special needs I am more than open to learning and following their routine. I have open availability between 06/16/26-07/12/26. I am mostly available in the mornings, mid-day/afternoon. However, I am willing to work with your schedule and pups needs in mind! :) I plan on caring for pets in one’s home depending on the clients preferences. If your pet seems to have made a small mess while I am there, I will always cleanup after them. Additionally, if clients do not allow their pets to enter a certain space within the home, I will abide by that as well. Your space, your rules :)

We recently adopted a kitten who needed human socialization. We had Dunks on a good trajectory and Dani did a great job while we were on our trip. She also helped Logan, our older cat, feel like he was still important too! We came home to two incredibly happy cats!

About: I have dog sat for various relatives and friends over the years, as well as worked at dog day cares for 3 years. Good at providing a calm environment for dogs and have picked up training techniques from my old boss at the dog daycare. Had a dog of my own for 13 years and know various locations to walk and adventure, as well as a great sense of my neighborhood. I’m trustworthy and will provide good care for your dog. I have a car and am able to drive realtively far to come to your needs. The dogs will be in safe care under my watch. I look forward to meeting and helping out dog owners. I have a flexible availability and am patient. I’m not returning to office until February 9th and have plenty of time in the meantime to care for your pets! Upon returning to work, I will be available weekday evenings & all day on weekends unless otherwise indicated. For drop in visits, I am respectful and cognizant of client’s homes. I foster a safe environment, and am patient when working with your pet(s).

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: Before you book with me, you should know why I’m a sitter on Rover! I’m a lifelong dog lover and former dog mom to a very energetic Goldendoodle who was the center of my world. My life revolved around long walks, games of fetch, park adventures, and plenty of snuggles, so I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your dog like family. I work from home 2–3 days a week, so your pup will have lots of company and won’t be left alone for long stretches. While I don’t have a yard, I believe dogs deserve more than just a quick walk around the block. Every stay includes at least one trip to a local park each day for fetch, exploring, or simply getting their energy out. I welcome small to medium-sized dogs that are friendly with young children, as I have a toddler at home. Whether your dog is full of energy or happiest curled up on the couch, they’ll get plenty of love, attention, and cuddles while they’re here. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone, and I’ll treat them as if they were my own. 🐾 Size wise, I will accept dogs that are up to 50-55 lbs. I will facilitate at least a 1 hour walk during the day, plus two other potty breaks. We will get lots of play during the day if I work from home and if not, at the end of the day. I am happy to prepare food puzzles or play tug or hang out on the couch. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I only care for small to medium sized dogs that are friendly with young children, as I have a toddler at home. I don’t have a fenced yard, but all outdoor time is supervised and on leash (off leash can be done in safe places), with plenty of walks and park visits. I’ll follow your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I only accept one dog at a time so each one gets the attention they deserve.

Sara has been absolutely amazing each time she's watched my kitties. My babies are in great capable hands, and I haven't needed to worry. Even in the 1st visit she was able to pet and pick up my most skittish cat. That in of itself is a feat. She's now my go to sitter whenever I'm outta town.

Nadia was absolutely amazing with our dog, Finn! From the moment i met her, we knew he was in great hands. She was incredibly caring, attentive, and kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Came home to Finn happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that Nadia treated him like he was her own. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, exercised, and loved. I would recommend Nadia to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Nadia, for taking such wonderful care of Finn!

We have worked with Ingrid multiple times and always have a great experience. Ingrid is kind, thoughtful, and attentive when it comes to pet care. Our typically shy kitties love seeing her. I feel 10x less anxious while away knowing my kitties are getting plenty of love and attention. Thanks Ingrid!
