“I am repeated client with Melissa and I really trust her with my beloved cat Oakley! She truly spends time with him and gives him much needed attention while we are away! Thank you!”


“SUPER SITTER‼️ 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Daniela not only took care of my two dogs (one is nervous and reactive, the other is a senior on joint meds), she loved them. Every picture she sent me showed them exploring, walking, or smiling. She communicated with me so consistently, and let me feel at peace being away for a week. Everything was in order when I got home- she even watered my plant and took in the mail- and, most importantly, my dogs were happy and well cared for! I would highly recommend Daniela and will be asking her to come back again.”


“Jillian does a great job of looking after my dog on a daily basis in the week. She communicates great and I can tell from the pictures takes great care in Bobbi. I highly recommend Jillian.”


About: I have had dogs all of my life. I often pet sit for my parents, in-laws, and friends. I enjoy spending time with all animals. I currently work a full time job as the Operations Director for a local non-profit. I have some extra time during weekday evenings and most of the weekend. I have 2 dogs that are very different - Linus our old man, and Charlie Brown ‘Chuck’ our 4yr old puppy. I feed them twice a day. I try for at least a 20min walk 5-6 times a week, but we usually go long over the weekend. We play. We hang.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and of all ages. but I have specifically taken care of puppies and middle age dogs. Those dogs I have worked with the most with. I had a senior dog in my household that I took care of until she unfortunately passed from cancer and I had administered medication to her and such. I have also taken in 2 foster dogs one with separation anxiety and other medication issues due to being in the shelter. I would have to give her medication and baths on the regular due to her having multiple accidents in her crate. With the second dog they were a 2 month old puppy that I fostered for a weekend and took to an adoption event where they had gotten adopted. I want to make sure all animals are loved and cared for while there owners are away and so that the owner don’t have to worry and know there fur babies are okay. I take care of my pets at home already so it’s really just a built in thing for my schedule. It’s an easy thing to do during the day or to end your day with as well so it all just fits in nicely. And who doesn’t want to end their day with some snuggles. I want to treat my clients pets how I would want my pets treated. I wouldn’t mind any them to be pushed to the side or just be let out and then leave I would want my pets to be played with and have some attention and love before heading out just so they know that someone is looking out for them until their owners are back

“Bethany stopped in a couple times to take care of our cat Chip while we were out of town for a long weekend. She was extremely friendly and professional during our meet and greet and very detail oriented with all of the instructions. She sent pictures while visiting with him over the weekend. We would definitely book her again!”


About: I have a golden retriever myself who is 4 and have grown up with dogs my whole life on a farm. I work remote so I have quite a bit of availability and love animals :) Pet care fits into my routine daily I work remote 7:30-4pm and I love getting out of the house and being active. Animals take priority to me above all! I care for pets in my home by ensuring they have space, toys, and owner approved treats. I try to keep them happy and entertained at all times.

About: I regularly pet sit for friends and family. 1-3 weeks mostly; but can do just a few days as well. Private home with a fenced yard. Dog lead in yard is available. I love to walk! Short or long walks are all fine with me. I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I’ve owned 3 in my adult life. I even fostered a dog for 9 months! It was hard to give her up; but she went to a loving home. I’m honest and trustworthy and dogs just make every day better! I work a pretty flexible schedule. I’m retired so I have lots of time. If your dog likes car rides and public parks…awesome! There’s also 2-3 dog parks not far from my house I have a fenced in yard that's about 70 yards deep. I also have a 30 yard lead that is concreted in (no fear of them breaking lose. There are sidewalks all around my neighborhood for safe walks on a leash. The closest dog park is about 2 miles from my house. I live alone.

About: I grew up with dogs in the house and haven't had many times when a dog wasn't in the house. I have experience working with and caring for pups, older dogs, anxious dogs and super active dogs! I also have experience administering medication. I can’t wait to get to know your buddies! I work from home most days on a very flexible schedule. That means I have the time to give your pets the attention and exercise they need. I will give your dog gentle and loving care while offering a lot of activity when needed. I am a very active person and happy to walk your dog in your own neighborhood or take a trip to the park. I do not have a fence at my own place, but make up for that with longer walks or play time inside. I have lids on all trashcans and keep the floors clear of anything a pet could ingest. If a car ride is needed, I have a safety seat in the back for small dogs.

About: I have been a dog owner for many years. My family and friends have relied on me to watch their pets while they are out of town, both cats and dogs. I have a really flexible work schedule, which would allow me to make mid-day pop ins. I am available for dog walking, which I am most interested in! I am flexible to stay in the client’s home or my own. My dog is older and gentle, but if someone needs a no-pet home or need me to stay at their home, my dog can stay with other family nearby.

About: Hello, I'm Kristin! I've had dogs since I was born. I've been dog sitting for the past 17 years. I love to be active (and so does my Golden Retriever), so if you'd like me to take your pup with me on a walk, run, or hike I'd love to do that with them. If your dog prefers to lay around and be cuddled I can do that too. I currently work from home 3 days a week - and have a very flexible schedule otherwise. I'm here to make your dog feel at home with me, and to treat them like my own. Can't wait to meet your pup! :) It’s a part of my daily routine! I can be fairly flexible with times and days that your pup may need to be tended too. I want to make sure that every dog in the home is comfortable. I am a big advocate on doing meet and greets to make sure that your dog(s) are comfortable with mine (and vice versa). To ensure a seamless and fun time for all! If at any time anyone is feeling uncomfortable or maybe needs a moment to breath, we have the ability of separating in order to ensure safety for all!

About: Hi, I’m Karly! Choosing the right person to care for your furry family member is a big decision, and I’m here to make it easy. With years of experience fostering dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to senior companions—and caring for pets of neighbors, family, and friends, I bring a lifelong passion for animals to every pet I watch. What sets me apart? I treat every pet like family. My 2-year-old rescue pup is a bundle of energy and loves making new friends, and my privacy-fenced backyard provides a safe, fun space for playtime and exercise. I know how to tailor care to meet each pet’s unique needs, whether they need extra snuggles, long walks, or a patient hand. You’ll also stay connected with regular updates and photos, so you’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you're away. Whether it’s a quick walk, a weekend trip, or extended care, I’ll give your pet the love and attention they deserve—because that’s how I’d want someone to care for mine! I work a hybrid schedule, going into the office three days a week—Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pet! Since I work downtown, just a short distance from my home, I can easily pop back during lunch breaks to let your pet out or give them some attention. Whether you need mid-day check-ins or longer care during my off days, I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s needs and schedule! Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. In my home, your pet will enjoy a secure, pet-proofed space with a privacy-fenced backyard for safe play. My 2-year-old dog is friendly and loves making new friends! When I care for your pet in your home, I respect your space and routines to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I’ll follow your instructions closely, building trust and providing a safe, loving environment for your pet while you’re away.

“Letizia is amazing. I got a call to travel for work with short notice and was scrambling to find a sitter for my two cats. I downloaded the Rover app and looked for a sitter that had experience with cats. Letizia responded immediately and setup a meetup appointment the same day. After the meetup I was assure I made a good decision. She went above and beyond to alleviate the stress of leaving my cats. The multiple pictures and updates she sent were great. She went above and beyond what I asked of her and even let me know about a maintenance problem I had in my apartment. If you’re looking for someone dependable to look after your pets or home, I highly recommend her. Next time I’m out of town, I will be looking her up. Not only was her service very professional and detailed, the pictures she sends are some of the best shots I have of my cats.”


“Amber is incredible. We are so lucky we found her. She was super commutative, sent loads of pictures, and really went above and beyond to help us out. We even had a small emergency happen when traveling and she went back to our apartment to grab something we needed late at night. She's a great soul and really amazing with our pets. Takes great pictures too. Cannot recommend her enough.”


About: I've lived and cared for dogs all of my life. For the past 3 years I have helped my girlfriend raise her dog and cat. I work a full-time job through the weekend, so my weekdays are completely freed up. I am very passionate about dogs, and I know this would be an enjoyable experience for me. I like to go on multiple walks, have some backyard fun and go to the local park. For pets with medication or requires special care I will follow all instructions carefully to keep your pet healthy and comfortable. It's very important to me to stick to your dog's feeding schedule and dietary needs. I am comfortable with all different breeds, sizes and age of your dogs.

Brian G.
“Brian has been walking my dog Sonny for the past six months, and I truly couldn’t ask for a better dog walker. From day one, he’s been reliable, communicative, and clearly passionate about working with dogs. Sonny absolutely lights up when Brian arrives—it’s obvious they’ve built a great bond. I really appreciate the updates and photos Brian sends after each walk. It’s reassuring to know Sonny is getting exercise, attention, and care, even when I can’t be there. Brian has also been super flexible when my schedule changes and always makes sure Sonny is well taken care of. If you’re looking for someone you can fully trust with your dog, I highly recommend Brian. He’s been a game-changer for both me and Sonny!”
