“Winston comes home from Renee’s house happy and sleepy. Her home and yard are great for a lower-energy dog. She also made sure to update me on his first day, which helped my peace of mind!”


“Sean was SO GREAT with Walter. I loved that he has other dogs that Walter could play with, and he was warm and inviting and very communicative. Walter had a ball. We will use him again for sure! GREAT dog sitter!!”


“As first-time dog parents, the thought of leaving our adolescent puppy was anxiety-inducing, to say the absolute least. After several long, full daycare sessions with Josh, this process has become seamless, reassuring, and immensely positive for not only my partner and I, but most importantly, for our dog, Nato. We wholeheartedly appreciate the person Josh is, which is so clear in his care of Nato…and his (Nato’s) exuberant eagerness to always go back!”


About: Hi there! My name is Katherine, and I'm a passionate and experienced pet lover who would love to take care of your furry friends. I've been surrounded by animals my whole life, and I believe that every pet deserves love, attention, and a safe environment. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just a cozy cuddle session, I’m here to make sure your pet feels right at home. I’m comfortable with all types of dogs, cats, and small animals, and I can offer tailored services depending on your pet's needs. I’m happy to update you with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is in great hands. Let’s connect and see how I can help with your pet care needs! I currently work from home and would not be gone for periods of time greater than a couple hours. Since we're home a majority of the time and have our own pets to care for, we welcome short notice visits. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet, and I promise to provide the same care and attention that I give my own pets.

“Chris was great! Got sent multiple pictures and videos and messages throughout the visit about my dog. He was great on being flexible with us and having to adjust times. We got a happy and tired doggy at the end of the day. Would use him again in a heartbeat.”


“Lindsay is wonderful! She helped organize a meet and greet with our pups so I felt more than comfortable leaving Kirk. Her communication is above and beyond. Kirk came home tired and that is exactly what we needed :)”


“Marina was wonderful! I had a complicated schedule and she worked with me to figure out the best options for me and my dog. My dog loved her and was so excited to go back and see her!”


“Angie has been watching our puffy Rose during the week for the past couple of months, and she's been fantastic! Rosie has come home happy and well cared for everyday”

“Amazing… Michael did a fabulous job caring for my dog, Gizzy, mist the day. First they met and everything went as planned. Thank you Michael for your professionalism and kindness.”


About: I’ve house-sat for families with multiple dogs, including ones who were sick or needed medication, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of care. I used to have a dog of my own, and now I have two cats who are great with dogs. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and always try to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I am home most of the time. I have a super flexible schedule, so I’m able to give pets lots of attention and stick to whatever routine they’re used to. I’m super attentive and treat pets like family. I’ve got a safe walking area nearby, dog parks close, and I’ll send photo updates as often as you’d like.

“Megan did a great job watching our pup. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated while we were gone. Harley was EXHAUSTED when we left, which is always a great sign. Will definitely use her again.”


About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats through the years ranging from yorkies or pitbulls. Cats are fine as well for the past 8 years. I have experience with rodents and a bit of fish. I have trained many dogs how to be potty trained and occasional shakes and lie downs. ‘’Aggressive’ dogs seem to be more calm around me. A few years ago my friend and I would take on 8 dogs at once along with my cat and our 2 bunnies. I am more than happy to negotiate outside my terms and rates and will be more than happy sending how ever many updates you would like to request. I currently have my schedules freed up for now. I am willing to negotiate long term service as well as building a relationship with your furbabies. 🫶 My current dog is 7 years old hypoallergenic shih-poo. I also have an 8 year old cat who’s real chill, but like most will need time to open up. He’s used to a house full of dogs. I would prefer to be at the clients home as it will most likely suite the furbaby’s emotions better.

“Thanks a ton Brooklynn! Moe seemed really happy :)”


About: Hello ! I took a break from Rover and now I'm missing the fun. I have retired and am in want of fur babies to love and care for. I am looking for potty trained, small to medium size dogs to love and play with. I prefer 5 year old to senior ages. I live in a very walkable area. I also have become very knowledgeable of bunnies. I have cared for my daughter's bunnies, love them ! I have cared for many ages of dogs, of family and friends and clients. Also, I'm in the niche of indoor bunnies also ! Cared for three different hoppy ones. I'd love to cuddle your baby. A life time of loving pets. I am retired so I can spoil your bunny or dog all day long. I have no children at home, so they'll get my full attention. I have no pets and truly miss one to love. I can care for your dog or bunny in my home, and possibly at your home. As long as pet is potty trained no need for a cage if not desired. I am one that loves to care for people and pets.

About: I'm Amanda, 27, a yoga instructor and a full time animal lover! Growing up, my sister and I used to save strays and find them better homes, sometimes we were lucky enough to convince our parents to keep them. I’ve always had dogs and cats growing up because our family is full of nurturing individuals. I have babysat and taken care of relatives and friends animals throughout the years and know that each animal needs a different type of care considering each one has a special characteristics that define them. I make sure they use the bathroom or are taken out every two-three hours. Walks are a must, knowing animals have a lot of energy that needs to be released. I have a mini Australian Shepherd, Ezra who is a 3 years old, and love other animals and cats. Speaking of cats, I have my 6 year old cat Veda as well. I currently work part time, so I will have a ton of time to play with the pups and/or cats. I have three dogs of my own that it’s a habit by now! I have a yard (fenced) and one other fur baby to keep them company! Fed twice a day and let out four times a day with surrounding nature for some hikes and walks to get the energy out!

About: Now offering "budget" visits! Sometimes your cat just needs a litter box refresh and food/water check or medication and doesn't want to interact with a sitter. I get it--one of my cats is like that! Depending on your location, I'm happy to offer a "budget" visit where the necessities will be addressed but in a shorter timeframe. 10 min for $10 or $12 for 15 min visit. Standard cat drop-in visits are $20 for 30 min. To book a budget visit, please book visits as a "regular" visit, and depending on your location and needs, I will approve and adjust your rate accordingly. About Me I've grown up with cats and currently have two senior cats. Rover is my way of helping my kids with an entrepreneurial adventure, especially during the summer. I do some visits solo (or if you request), otherwise I usually have kids with me. They are learning a lot about customer service, pet care, and money in the process. C A T S : Able to host overnight at $35/night. I can give medications including insulin shots, brush teeth, or brush your cat daily or as needed. Litter boxes, beds/perches and water provided. Please provide food your cat thrives on best for their stay. For drop-in cat visits, I will feed whatever food you provide for your cat--wet, raw, kibble, and/or exact portions as needed. Litter boxes will get a thorough sift, and water will be changed. I will do a quick barf/hairball scan of pet zone as so you don't have to come home to unexpected messes. D O G S: Walks can be 30, 45, or 60 minute routes. D R O P - I N V I S I T S : I will let your dog get some fresh air, food, and playtime and petted/brushed. I will also check area dog is staying while you are out for any mischief and messes and clean up as necessary. B O A R D I N G : We are not boarding dogs at this time unless your dog is on our "VIP" dog list. :-) We are able to do drop-in visits and dog walks year round and potentially board based on meet and greet assessment. We can board cats year round. My kids have learned to respect animals and see them as individuals with their own preferences and personalities. For the safety of all in my keep, I only board/daycare animals from one household at a time. All guests are kept in a separate area of the house from my pets.

About: I genuinely do care for animals a lot. I love seeing their little personalities lol. I will do my best to show your pet love and friendliness. 4 repeat pet parents 100% response rate Usually responds in a few minutes 100% bookings with photo updates I'm a retired US Marine. So this is a great way to help some people and animals out. Also a way to make extra money. I will treat each pet with love and care. Your pet will be cared for as if it were my own animal. Can't wait to see you
