“You could not ask for a more kind, loving sitter/walker then Stefanie R. We will definitely ask her to stay with our pups again. She is good with people as well as dogs. She made us feel safe and relaxed to go away knowing our dogs and our house were on good hands. A++++ Greg”

About: From the moment they’re born until the moment they leave us our pets are family, they live and breathe for us, they would even give their life for us given the choice. This is how I see my fur babies and how I view my role in their lives and those of yours as well, as family. Working in hotels for many years gave me an even more unique perspective on dogs and cats. I found that I had a bond that was unique with guests furry travel companions, whether friendly, rambunctious or timid, all animals seemed to take to me. I very quickly became the ‘dog guy’ and everyone, including guests began bringing their pets to me to watch and walk, while at the front desk. I loved it and still have guests that I met years ago keep in touch to keep me updated on their pets even though I haven’t worked in hotels for some time now. I have watched and cared for puppies and kittens (premees as well) all the way to senior dogs and cats that needed medication, including but not limited to shots for diabetes - without issue. I personally make all of my dogs own food from scratch and am very protective of all pets, since they are precious and irreplaceable. Love, hugs, kisses and walks are what most pets need to be happy and healthy and with everything I’ve learned in my journeys I hope to help your pets get all of what they need amongst the busy lives we all live to keep them well stocked in toys and treats. I work part time taking care of seniors so my schedule is very open and flexible. Your fur babies will take precedence when they are in my care. They will be my top priority when they are with me. My pets are spoiled yet disciplined, I treat them as a protected class, I also specify no parties if I have to step out for a bit but I have no control over them once I lock the doors behind me. On a serious note though I make sure that dogs do not lead me on walks, for safety. I lead them to keep an eye on what they are consuming in case I have to act quickly to stop them, block other offending dogs/people or keep them safe from vehicles/traffic. In actuality, if I feel a pet is in danger I will simply scoop them up and carry them - I have been known to do this even in my previous life as a hotelier with doggos that weighed over sixty pounds to protect them.

About: I've been taking care of family and friend pets since I was around 10 years old. I have helped with taking care of puppies so if that's a concern, do not worry! My schedule is always open to help you in whatever is needed for your pet. How much time you are requesting can be talked about more through messaging but I can always make adjustments to help you. I have a small outdoor area for your dog to use the restroom. If I don't, there's a near by park and a somewhat quiet neighbor where I can take your dog on a walk and let them do their business.


7. John V.
“My dog is a handful and is really difficult to work with. He loves John and listen to him more than me it’s amazing to see them together. John is so dependable and kind. He’s been watching my dog for over 2 years when needed and I appreciate him so much. I believe he’d be an asset to the team at rover !”


8. Maria B.
“Mary is the best dog sitter my family has met. She truly has love for dogs and I feel like she cares for them as if they were her own. She is very flexible with pick up and drop off times and makes the whole process so much easier for me.”

“Sarah is dedicated to her pets, diligent in any task she performs, and has an enduring love of animals. She is a very responsible caretaker and would definitely be a benefit to the care of any animal, big or small.”


10. Arlene N.
“There are very few people we trust with our fur babies and Arlene is one of them! We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing they were being taken care of in their own home. Arlene handled our two dogs, one being super energetic and the other a big cuddler; plus, our sassy cat. She is very trustworthy, professional, and communicated updates with us every day. Our babies were completely calm and happy when we got back. We are lucky to have Arlene as a dog sitter!”


11. Ivette E.
“Absolutely amazing dog sitter! She took the time to get to know my dog’s needs and personality and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy. She's a great communicator, reliable, and truly cares about the animals in her care. My dogs absolutely loved her, and I could tell they were in great hands. On top of all that, she is incredibly clean and organized, which makes everything so easy and stress-free. I’m so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and loving. Highly recommend!”

17. Daniel P.
About: THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING TO BOOK WITH ME as this is not only something I love to do but also how I make a living. I’ve been caring for animals since I was 15, I’ve watched my neighbors, family and friends pets when ever they have gone out of town. At one point I had about 10 dogs in my home, my parents were not thrilled at the time but I was able to maintain balance and peace. I can’t stand seeing mistreated or roaming dogs, I always think there is some family out there crying over their lost pet and it drives me crazy. My wife and I have flexible schedules and mostly work from home making it possible for us to tend to your pups all day for extra attention, love, cuddles and play. We also provide updates along with pictures and videos. We aim for an environment where our pet guests feel safe and comfortable so your pet is more than welcome to roam my home freely and even allowed on furniture if permitted and house trained. I have plenty of house and yard space as well as 4 dogs of my own who love and enjoy meeting new friends.


18. Starleen R.
“I highly recommend starleen as a pet giver, she is incredibly attentive and caring, always ensuring my dog gets plenty of excerise and love. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring pet giver!”


19. Arlette R.
“Arlette is an exceptional pet sitter! She looked after my cat and dog with so much love and care while I was on vacation. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which made me feel at ease. My pets were relaxed and happy when I returned, thanks to her attentive and professional care. I highly recommend Arlette to anyone in need of a reliable pet sitter!”
