“Mignon and Coco are not easy clients — they expect VIP treatment only. Cheyenne delivered! My pups approved her immediately (which never happens). Thank you for such amazing treatment!!”

“Adam was a wonderful sitter for our pets and home. It was very apparent he took excellent care of our pups and they felt safe and comfortable. He was incredibly communicative with updates/pictures which was so appreciated. We will definitely book him in the future!”

“This is the second time we've booked Matt, and he once again provided exceptional care for both our dog and kitties. He is scrupulous about taking notes during the meet-and-greet (we had moved since our first booking, so he did a second M&G). He has a loving heart for animals and their needs. My daughter noticed how he scrubbed out the dog and cat bowls and left the house in better shape than he found it. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had and worked with dogs of all ages and sizes since I was little. Your babies will always be cared for like my own. I worked remote and have open availability all through out the week Monday through Friday. I have some weekends open but can work around your schedule as well. Sometimes your fur babies can be a little anxious when their owner isn’t around but with my help they will feel at ease. Enrichment is so important for happy dogs and providing a safe fun day of play or overnight care is what I am here for.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs & now have two of my own, who I’ve had since they were puppies. I also have experience taking care of dogs with medical needs & medications. I’ve walked & cared for loved ones’ pets frequently over the years. I am currently a marine bio graduate student, with a special interest in husbandry. I love all animals & will absolutely stop to admire any I come across! I’m currently in grad school but between jobs, so I have plenty of time to love on your pets! I can be very flexible so we can work something out that fits both of our lifestyles!! I will do whatever I can to make your pet feel as comfortable & happy as possible while you’re away. I know some dogs are cautious at first, so I like to let them come to me first & check things out. My dogs are my babies & I will absolutely treat your dogs the same way!
“Roni was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend her. I have 2 large dobermans and she disciplined, cared and loved on them with ease. She is brilliant! She was constantly in contact with me sending images etc and she is a wonderful person.”

“Absolutely amazing! I love that it’s a family business. Sent photos and kept us updated. Our flight got canceled and they were happy to come back out to fed and walk our dogs until we could get home. It took that stress off our shoulders. All my dogs were happy and healthy. Would recommend 10/10.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, raising them from just 8 weeks. I also fostered a Husky puppy for 2 weeks until he found his forever home. I love animals and always take care of them and love them as if they’re my own💕 I work part time during the week with my main work days always being on the weekends. My work schedule hours and days aren’t 100% consistent, but I usually have Mondays-Thursdays off with the occasional workday on one of those days. There is a big yard right outside of my apartment (not fenced) that they can play in. They will receive all the love that I can possibly give them and they will never leave my sight because they’re adorable and cute fur babies❤️

“Carrie is absolutely fabulous! She took care of our puppy in our home and did a wonderful job. Her communication is top notch and she sent several pictures as well. Thank you Carrie for providing five star service.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was old enough to do so. I have a lot of experience with puppies as well, as my family used to breed. I grew up with Great Danes, but I’ve also cared for smaller breeds! I currently walk a high energy Malinois puppy, but I’ve also cared for couch potatoes. Anything you need or want for your best friend, I will make sure to do! I work on weekdays from 8-3, however I get a 2 hour lunch break so if walks are needed during that time, I don’t mind, depending on distance. I wake up early, so morning walks are easy, as are evenings. I am always communicative with everything that is happening with your pet! I love to take all the cute pictures, ask questions if I don’t know the answer, and report anything of concern. Walks will always be longer than just letting them out to relieve themselves to ensure they get some stimulation and more time outside.
“Miss Anne was fantastic! She house sat our Cavalier pack and everything worked out perfectly. Its obvious she gave them tons of attention because I think they are mad that we came home. Thanks for all the photos and update while we were gone. I sure hope we can use Anne again.”

About: I like to update you on your pet/s every day, how they did and how they played. I also like to send pictures to you of your pet/s and videos for you to enjoy! I am currently unemployed, so I'll have plenty of time to care for, watch, and play with your pet/s while you're away! It brings me joy to be able to help out! Depends mostly on the instructions given to me. If the pet/s need to be kenneled, how often you like to walk them. If i'm not given much, I will walk them every day about 2-3 times a day, play with them, and put them to bed around the same time I'm going to bed.
About: I love dogs, cats, chickens and rabbits! If you have a last minute need in your home or mine, give me a call! Caring and compassionate lover of fur babies. I’m retired and available to assist your needs. Available 7 days a week. In your home. 24/7. Overnight care is available. Caring and compassionate! Studying veterinary assistant. Dogs are kept inside and outside in a gated area. Send the schedule for your Fur babies and I will follow it. I taught small animal care for 4H and community organizations for many years.

“Hailey was amazing. She did a meet and greet with my pup, made me feel comfortable and my dogs looked very happy and content 😊 Hailey left my house spotless. I look forward to using her in the future.”

I know how to administer medications, give baths, and give great snuggles! I have petsit for dogs of all sizes and have absolutely no preference!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I became an owner in 2014! Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets, so decided to continue to do what I love. I personally have two brothers that are Yorkie/Shitz-Tzu. I am currently a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I just take some online classes, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I I live near Tinseltown/St. John’s Town Center, so most locations are not an issue. I would be able to care for your pet(s) as much as needed. I do not have the ability to board at my home, but can accommodate most needs at your house. I do not have any breed preference! I look forward to knowing what is the typical routine for your pet(s) and anything that is out of the normal, so I can be on alert for them on our walk(s).
“Lesly did an awesome job taking care of our pups. She sent us pics so we could see them. I would absolutely recommend Lesly if you need a great dog sitter. She is very sweet and kind. ❤️❤️”

The Cape pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alex watched our dogs for over two weeks and we couldn't be happier with the care they received. She stayed with them through thunderstorms and fireworks, which was a huge relief because one of our pups has bad anxiety. She also provided us with daily updates and pictures, administered their medications, and kept our home as tidy as we left it. We are so happy we found Alex and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!
