About: Unleash the Love: Transforming Pet Care into a Tail-Wagging Adventure! I have had the pleasure of caring for a wide range of pets over the past fifteen years, including dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals. During this time, I have developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors, allowing me to provide exceptional care and create a nurturing environment for each pet. I am a highly responsible and reliable caregiver, always ensuring the safety and security of the pets under my care. I am attentive to their individual needs and provide personalized attention, ensuring they receive the love, exercise, and mental stimulation they require. Moreover, I am a strong communicator and believe in building trusting relationships with both pets and their owners. I provide regular updates, photos, and videos to keep owners informed and reassured that their beloved pets are in capable hands. I am also attentive to the specific instructions and preferences of each pet owner, ensuring that their individual needs and routines are met. I am dedicated to providing exceptional care and creating a positive and enriching experience for both pets and their owners. I’m currently working from home with a flexible schedule. I have plenty of time to ensure your pet is receiving personalized attention, food, love, exercise, and mental stimulation. I have a house with a large living room that is usually my furry friends' playroom and bedtime. There are no other pets around except my adorable and friendly cat Cher.

About: Hi I’m Kathleen! I am huge animal lover who grew around pets and I have over 4 years of experience providing patient, responsible, and dedicated care. I don't currently have any dogs or cats of my own, which means your pup gets 100% of my undivided attention, love, and care. My home is a calm, safe space where your pet can truly relax and feel right at home. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I am home most of the day. I am available all days for boarding and can easily accommodate flexible pick-up and drop-off times for owners. At my clients/my home I will provide photos, and videos of your pet and provide updates to insure you have a safe, and trusted experience!
“Doris is a very sweet and caring person. She took a great care of my Molly. She gave my girl lots of attention and took her out for walks. I’ll definitely get back to Doris for more help with my girl.”

About: I've always had animals growing up and I loved taking care of them. I have 10 years of experience taking care of my own pets. I made sure they were fed a balanced diet, they had their daily walks, they were upto date with their vaccines. I also made sure that they were well-groomed, given lots of love and attention and spoiled rotten with toys! I currently work full time but I am available anytime after 3pm to pet sit the little cuties and I am free anytime on the weekends. I do not have yard space but I am close to the beach and there are a few parks to take the dogs for a walk!
“So happy to have found Erica! We would not have been able to enjoy our month in Florida vacation without her. We are confident our dogs are in good hands and come back tired and happy!”

About: For most of my life I have cared for many dogs as a pet owner and a dog sitter for friends, family and clients alike. Currently I freelance as a media professor and my schedule fluctuates from week to week so its always best to check my calendar for availability. The dogs will receive all my love and attention. I thrive off their unconditional love and I love to see them happy. Simple as that.
“Michelle was amazing with Milo! This was our first time leaving him with someone else, so I was a little nervous, but she made the whole experience so much easier and more comfortable. She was very attentive, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs, which gave me a lot of reassurance. I really appreciated the updates and how she made sure Milo felt safe and cared for. When I picked him up, he was happy and relaxed, which means everything to me as a dog mom. It was clear he was in good hands the entire time. The pickup and drop-off process was also smooth and convenient, which I loved. Overall, I had a great experience and would absolutely trust Michelle with Milo again!”

“Lina provided exceptional care for my baby, Viper. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in good hands. She not only tended to his basic needs but also showered him with love and attention. It was evident that she genuinely cared for his well-being and treated him as if he were her own. Throughout his stay, Lina kept me updated with photos and messages, which eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing Viper was happy and content. Additionally, her knowledge and expertise in handling dogs reassured me that Viper was receiving the best care possible. I highly recommend Lina to anyone in need of a responsible and caring pet sitter.”

“Vanessa is a gem - responsive, polite, clean, caring, loving, and always available. We were looking for a pet sitter who could provide a loving and stable environment for our pup with separation anxiety, as we wanted to reduce his reliance on medication. Vanessa exceeded our expectations, providing a calm and nurturing presence that has greatly benefited our Blaze. We're grateful to have found her, and her care has given us peace of mind. If you're seeking a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter, Vanessa is an excellent choice.”

“Vivian really took care of Jayce like her own pooch. She’s very mindful and attentive to Jayce, especially with his anxiety she is very caring and really made him feel comfortable!”

“What a lovely person - I’d give her 100 stars if that were an option. To explain, I had to go into my office LAST minute and at 1230 am it was my first time using this app and I posted requests for someone to basically dog sit for the same day- she was immediately responsive even though it was a last minute request. I saw she had already gotten consistent great reviews and I was worried to leave my 7 week old shih tsu (like a baby) with anyone ) -Jameeka she handles all dog ages - she was responsive, kept me updated throughout the day. I even got stuck in traffic on the way for pick up and was late she was fine. The top 3 reasons I give Jameeka 5 stars is because 1) she is the opposite of stressful and worked with my unique needs, 2) she has great communication skills snd 3) it is clear she is an expert - my puppy was returned perfectly she gave me some updates and my puppy was happy and fell right asleep because Jameeka ensured my puppy got play time and exercise time - thank you !”

“Steven was perfect with our dog, sent amazing pictures and video, and kept us updated on how he was doing. Steven’s dogs are adorable and were the perfect playmates. We will absolutely be booking again very soon. Thank you!”

“I can tell my doggy likes to go to Rachel's to hang because she always runs inside and seems excited to be there, which makes me feel so much better. Rachel also gets Selmy out of the house for car trips and neighborhood strolls.”


About: Hi, I’m Ruth. I’m the kind of sitter who treats your dog like family. I focus on calm, steady care, clear communication, and making sure your pup feels safe, understood, and genuinely loved while you’re away. I work with all temperaments, from shy rescues to high energy pups who need structure and play. I pay close attention to body language, routines, and comfort cues so your dog settles in quickly. I offer walks, potty breaks, overnight care in your home, medication support, and gentle training reinforcement. I send real time updates with photos and notes so you always know how your dog is doing. I keep things simple and dog centered. I follow your routines closely, maintain a calm environment, and make sure your pup gets the right mix of exercise, affection, and downtime. If you want someone reliable, communicative, and genuinely invested in your dog’s wellbeing, I’m here. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I already structure my time around steady check ins, feeding schedules, enrichment, and quiet companionship. I plan my mornings and evenings with space for visits, walks, and updates, and I keep my afternoons flexible for longer stays or extra attention when a pet needs it. Caring for animals is part of the rhythm of my week, and I move through it with calm consistency so every pet feels supported. I care for pets in a way that keeps them comfortable and grounded, whether I am in my home or my client’s home. I follow routines closely, keep feeding and water schedules consistent, maintain clean litter or potty areas, and move with a calm presence so animals stay relaxed. I spend time observing their comfort cues and adjust my pace to match their needs, offering play, affection, or quiet companionship. When pets stay with me, I create a safe and cozy space that supports their habits and give them steady attention throughout the day. I send updates with photos and notes so owners always feel connected to their pet’s experience.
“Thai was great and able to step in when our sitter canceled last minute. Thai was thorough and asked great questions to make sure this was a good fit for my dog Max. Max had a great time; would def have Thai watch him again!”

“Lauren was very accommodating when I had to reschedule my appointment and I was happy we could work out alternate plans. I was kept updated throughout Albert's stay and will reach out to Lauren again.”

“Rachel was reliable and straightforward. Good communication and sent updates/pictures of my dog. I didn’t see her full set up but the little I saw (front part) was nice. Sorry it didn’t work out for my dog.”

“Our usual sitter who’s heaven sent is currently going through a personal trial and had to put a pause on dog sitting. So we turned to Rover and found Shanna. And we couldn’t be happier. She updated us throughout the day which made us feel at ease. She enjoys what’s she does and she’s such a sweetheart. We truly found another great sitter. Our dogs came home and went straight to their beds to take a nap. She played with them all day. She’s also very compassionate. She encountered an unexpected event and she updated us and actually mollified our concerns. There is something calming about someone who takes pride in what they do. And that is what Shanna was. And her mother and family are sweet. We will be booking with her again. And again……and again.”
