“Bennie and Jennie did another wonderful job taking care of Freddie . He is happy to see me when I get home but a bit mopey because he misses them . He enjoys their care and attention. He was fed brushed and played with all the things he needs to keep my baby healthy and safe . I can’t say enough about how comfortable and secure I feel knowing they are in my house taking care of Freddie . They are respectful trust worthy and leave my house cleaner than when I left without my having to ask. It’s such a relief knowing I can plan a trip and if they are available I don’t have to worry about anything at home. Highly recommend these sweet caretakers if you need a babysitter .”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who had the joy of caring for my beloved Bichon Frise for over ten years. I raised her from adulthood through her senior years, and was by her side through several surgeries and recovery periods. She was family, and I gave her all the love and attention she deserved every single day. I’ve also looked after friends’ dogs when they traveled, and genuinely enjoy spending time walking, playing, and bonding with pups of all personalities. Dogs bring me so much happiness, and I treat every one as if they were my own. I’m currently fully available and happy to work with your schedule! Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or last-minute drop-ins, I can be flexible and adjust to your pet’s needs. Weekdays, weekends, mornings, or evenings—I’m here to help whenever you need. Let me know what works best for you and your furry friend. I’ll do my best to make it easy and stress-free! At the moment, I provide in-home pet care only, which means I’ll come to your home to walk, feed, play with, or check on your pet. I do not offer boarding or pet stays at my own place. This allows your pet to stay comfortable in their familiar environment, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays at your place, I’m happy to help and flexible with scheduling.
About: I had a dog since I was 9 who sadly passed away after 13 years. Love dogs but can’t get my own until I move out. I watch dogs for family friends on the side. I love all dogs especially high energy dogs who needs long walks. I’m currently in a masters program Monday-Friday 8-5. I nanny kids with special needs through the week on a loose schedule. I’m able to leave school during lunch. I’m great at long runs/walks cuddles my sister has been working on rover for 2 years and we have a dog at our house every day of the year!
“Tanya has become a trusted friend who has done a wonderful job taking care of our pup while we're away for multiple consecutive nights. She's responsive and does a great job handling our pup, even when he's being a picky-eater. We cannot recommend her enough!”
About: Hi! I’m Jenna! A lifelong animal lover, dependable caregiver, and the kind of person who stops to say hi to every dog on the trail. I’ve grown up with animals my whole life – from goofy labs to spunky chihuahuas and even a couple of pigs in-between. I know that pets aren’t just pets; they’re family. Whether I’m going for walks, doling out belly rubs, or just being a calming presence while you’re away, I treat every lil lady or fella in my care like they’re my own. I’m detail-oriented, communicative, and always keep your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness as my top priority. I’m happy to follow any specific routines, give meds if needed, and send lots of photo updates so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in good hands. I work a 9-5 schedule that allows me to prioritize morning walks or cozy evenings in with a furry friend. Weekends Friday after 5 to Sunday evening I'm available for whatever your pet may need. I care for clients’ pets the same way I’d care for my own - with patience, attention, and lots of love. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, going on familiar walking routes, or giving extra snuggles while they're missing you. I also make communication a priority - I’ll send regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how things are going. At the end of the day, I want you to feel confident that your pet is not just looked after, but genuinely cared for.
“Abby was amazing!! She sent daily updates with pictures and left our house spotless! We fully trust her with our pup and will definitely have her watch him again! :)”
“You can tell instantly that Kimberly is a dog lover the moment you meet her. When she met Jordan for the first time, she was very calm and caring. Jordan was very quick to warm up to Kimberly right away. We knew Jordan was in good hands. Kimberly was very personable and friendly. We felt extremely comfortable with her and will definitely call her again!”
“Alice was wonderful! She was very accommodating to my last minute booking, and took very good care of not only my dog, but my home as well. My dog takes multiple medications throughout the day for an injury to his leg, and she stayed on top of this schedule and made sure he wasn't overdoing it on walks. I am very nervous about leaving my dog with anyone, but it was easy to trust Alice! I will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: 28 year old pet lover and work-from-home professional with a flexible schedule to give your furry friend the attention they deserve. ✨I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments—from small lap dogs to large, energetic breeds like huskies. I’m comfortable with a wide variety of personalities and take pride in getting to know each dog’s unique needs. With your permission, I love taking dogs on fun adventures to local parks and even beaches for some extra stimulation and playtime. Whether your pup prefers long walks, fetch sessions, or just quiet companionship, I’m patient, observant, and always focused on making them feel safe and happy. Due to my flexible schedule, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention and walks throughout the day—whether that’s potty breaks, playtime, or even snuggles while I work. I am also an early riser (5 am), so if your dog needs an early walk, it’s no problem. At my home, I make sure the space is pet-safe, with no access to anything harmful, and I supervise closely (especially for new pets). I keep a clean environment, and I’m quick to clean up any accidents or spills. And of course, I send lots of updates so you know your pet is happy and in good hands!

We met Kelsy at the beginning of the summer and she took such amazing care of our dog this summer while we traveled. Even our fellow neighbor dog owners met and loved her on their walks. She was great with Thor always in communication with us with pictures and updates.
Ace was the perfect pet sitter for our toy poodle and tabby cat! They are incredibly friendly, sweet, and pairing to our pets! If you’re looking for someone who is experienced in taking of animals and enjoys doing it, contact Ace! I will definitely hire them again in the future!
Angelica was absolutely amazing! She took care of my two dogs and two cats over the weekend and went above and beyond. She sent regular photo updates, which gave me peace of mind, and even handled an unexpected situation by following all emergency protocols perfectly. I felt completely confident leaving my pets in her care. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter!
Holly came bright and early to take care of our little girl Luna. Holly has an excellent touch with dogs and assured us that Luna was going to have a great time while we were away for the morning. Thank you Holly for taking great care of Luna and making sure her needs were met. We will definitely book again soon!
I had such a great experience with Jessica as a dog sitter for my dog, Tuffy! She followed all of the care instructions, including wiping Tuffy's eyes, administering medication, and keeping to her specific feeding and walking schedule. I really appreciated how accommodating she was to Tuffy’s routine and her needs. Her communication was excellent — she was very responsive and asked thoughtful questions to ensure she was caring for Tuffy in the best way possible. Jessica kept me updated frequently with pictures and messages, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Tuffy looked happy, relaxed, and well taken care of when I returned — it was clear she was in good hands and liked Jessica very much. She was also incredibly trustworthy and respectful. I appreciated that she asked for permission in advance if she needed to be out for a certain period of time. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I would absolutely book her again!
Kassie watched my pup King for three nights while I was away on a work trip, and I couldn't be more grateful for her care. She was communicative throughout, sending regular updates and sweet photos that put me at ease. King was dealing with some stomach issues at the time, which required a bit of extra TLC, and Kassie handled it all with diligence and care. She was receptive to all the notes and guidance I provided and was prompt in asking thoughtful questions whenever she wasn’t sure about something. King seemed to really like her energy and trust her, which says a lot. I’d be happy to book Kassie again for both short- and long-term care!
Felicia was a fabulous Rover for our pet sitting situation, she worked with our fluid schedule throughout our stay, she'd sent pictures throughout the days and our Dog-ters Honeybear and Missy Mae took to her loving caring personality. You know immediately the energy and good vibe of a person, we felt that with Felicia.
Lauren has been sitting for us for a few months now, and our pups LOVE her! We have a 16 y/o Schnoodle with Heart Disease (along with a laundry list of healthy issues) and a 4 y/o Aussie Doodle. Lauren's vet med background and patience with the pups (especially our Senior pup) have given us so much peace of mind knowing they are with someone who genuinely cares and has the medical knowledge to keep an eye out for anything that seems out of the ordinary. She house-sat for us for about a week and was very respectful of our space, keeping it clean and tidy. We are so fortunate to have found Lauren and highly recommend her for all the services she provides!
My dog Sophie is a very particular animal with special requests and needs. Maryam took such great care of her and my dog did so well while I was gone. I didn’t have any worry at all and was able to enjoy my work trip. Thanks again Maryam. Sophie will definitely see you again!
