“Celine was great! She stayed with our pups all day, sent pictures and kept us in the loop. We’re very appreciative of her, and our pups loved her company all day. Looking forward to their next time with her!”
“Megan was amazing. This was the first time I left my dog with anyone other than family. Megan sent updates, pictures and my dog was so so well cared for. She is great at following any special instructions. I am so grateful and will be using her again soon. She is simply the best.”
“We did a meet and greet prior to leaving our girls. They loved Morgan immediately. When Morgan arrived today, the girls greeted her tails wagging '. We came home to two very happy pups. Thanks Morgan.”
“Eileen was fantastic! She was very attentive to our boys and kept in close contact with us the entire weekend. She also sent lots of photos. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Lori is excellent working with and walking my dogs. She has taken the time to get to know them both individually. She knows what helps motivate them on the walks. I truly appreciate finding her to help with dog sitting and regular dog walks.”
“Kacey was so attentive to all of the instructions I had for Kona. She gave me updates and sent pictures! She told me about my dog’s silly personality that was starting to show which is always the best sign! My dog was extremely comfortable around Kacey and very relaxed when I got home. I feel lucky to have found such a great human to care for my place and my dog while I travel! If you are considering Kacey, please book!”
About: I worked at PetSmart for approximately 5 years & have experience with basic grooming needs. I have grown up with both dogs & cats & am always the one friends/family call when they are in need of someone to watch their babies. I truly just love animals of all varieties. I work from home & am able to stay with your pets while you are out of town or at work yourself. I can check in on them during the day, take them for walks, & ensure they are fed and well loved. I am also able to stay at your home when needed. I am happy to abide by whatever guidelines you set to ensure your baby is safe & your home is well cared for as well.
“Tara was great and super accommodating. Our pup took to her right away. Usually she has a fit of separation anxiety when we leave, but not with Tara. They had a good evening together. We recommend Tara highly and would use her again.”
About: I'm a repeat dog sitter and have experience with unexpectedly taking a dog to the vet, after-surgery care, cleaning wounds, breaking up fights, multiple dog homes, getting difficult dogs to take pills, and training. I also do pet portraits! I work from home as an illustrator so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals! I'm available all weekends and weekdays! I take care of pets in their own home. I can take animals on walks, play fetch, crate them; whatever would make them most comfortable! I can stay for as long as you'd like or only check in a few times a day.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with at least 4 dogs at a time. I currently have a 7 year old & 2 year old Catahoula leopard dogs & 3 children. I have experience with all different types of dogs from big to small. I love all breeds. When I was a teenager I spent a summer helping train service dogs for people in wheelchairs. Which I loved. It was so much fun & rewarding. I'm also a certified obedience dog trainer with certifications in pet first aid & CPR training & dog walking. My availability depends on the day, so just contact me & I can usually fit your pup in. I don't mind traveling in any weather. Look forward to meeting you & your puppy. I have a great family to help support me with my dream of working with dogs. I do this full time along with training. I have a fenced in yard & friendly dogs that loves other dogs to play with. I also have a small & large kennel that we can pop up if needed. I'm doing this full-time now. I have my schedule setup to be pretty flexible with each dog's needs. With my experience at the doctor's office, I know how to manage time to better suit all my clients. I have a fenced in yard. My dogs are friendly & goes out all the time to continue with their socialization & training. I have different size kennels if needed. I like doing "meet & greets" to get to know your dog & you better & to completely understand the layout of your home. It also gives us the chance to go over things & ask any questions. I'm also fully insured in case if something ever happened.
“I moved up here about a year and a half ago (almost two years in May) to be closer to my family on Long Island, and it’s been hard not being able to get home as often as I’d like because I didn’t have someone I fully trusted with my dogs. Finding her truly changed that. My dogs are special needs and require daily medications, and one of them, Murphy, is a large dog who needs to be carried up and down a full flight of stairs to go outside. She handled all of this with patience, care, and confidence, which immediately put me at ease. Communication was excellent throughout — thoughtful updates, photos, and great questions that showed she was fully engaged and attentive. We were originally booked over Christmas, and when my trip was canceled last minute, she was incredibly flexible and understanding. She also came to meet the dogs beforehand, which meant a lot to me. She went above and beyond, and for the first time since moving here, I feel confident getting home more often knowing my dogs are in great hands. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I have been around animals my entire life, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine. I also have experience caring for senior dogs. My own dog has since passed away, but I helped care for him throughout his later years, which taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and providing extra comfort and support. Because of this experience, I am comfortable giving medications, helping pets stick to their routines, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and affection. Whether that means going on walks, playing fetch, providing activities, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply spending quality time cuddling and keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. Since I am currently a college student and school is out, I have a lot of free time and a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of attention to the pets in my care. I also work as a babysitter, but Rover is my top priority job. I make sure to schedule my time carefully so that every pet receives the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, or simply spending quality time together, I am committed to providing reliable and attentive care. Because of my flexible availability, I can easily accommodate different routines and help pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently have three cats who, despite not paying rent, are very well taken care of! Caring for them is a big part of my daily routine. I make sure they receive their daily feedings, fresh water, interactive playtime, plenty of attention, and daily litter box cleanings to keep their environment clean and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible so their pets feel safe and comfortable. This includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, administering medications if needed, and providing lots of love and companionship. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel cared for while their owners are away. My goal is always to provide dependable care, maintain a clean environment, and treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: I have been researching animals and animal care since I was able to read, I was always at the library as a kid! I worked as a dog trainer at PetSmart for two years (worked with the company for three years total!) and have met and worked with a variety of breeds. I volunteered at a dog shelter all throughout highschool as well. I have had many animals of my own and have even fostered orphaned kittens and puppies in the past! Working with animals gives me a purpose I cannot find anywhere else :) I work half remotely so I have plenty of open availability, let me know what works best with you! I'm always willing to make accommodations. When watching your pets at your home I would likely ask many questions regarding you/your pets routine so I can make things as comfortable for your pet as possible! I would never leave the pet unattended unless directed otherwise! I have experience handling large, strong breeds of dogs and have no doubt in my capabilities to keep your pet safe and comfortable.
About: I have grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. I took care of my childhood dog from a puppy through senior stages, and have dog sat a variety of pets from extra large puppies to small, 15+ year old dogs - at the same time! I am used to boarding and taking care of pets at their own homes, but I would also be able to have pets at my home! I am currently in medical school but only have class on Tuesday-Friday. Otherwise, I’m at home studying and can take breaks to care for pets! I am very flexible depending on the individual pet's preference! I live a rather active lifestyle and enjoy going on runs and hikes in my free time, and would be happy to take a pet with me, or spend time playing with pets in my yard. However, I am also happy to spend time sitting with pets who are less active inside, and still giving them the attention that they deserve. I dont mind pets on furniture or sleeping in bed with me if thats what they are comfortable with.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is , I love giving massages to my friends animals . I’m a massage therapist and even animals need to relax! My background is babysitting. I added a picture of Georgie ,a little girl that I babysit. I’m currently working for myself as a massage therapist.I’m able to set my own schedule and will have all the free time for sitting ! I would say I care of them by being very attentive. I’m an observant person . Making sure they’re well hydrated on walks and loving them !
About: I’m a huge pet lover since I was a couple years old bringing stray animals home! I have 3 pups that are my world! I promise I will treat your pets as if they were mine. I have 5 years of experience as a vet tech so you can rest assured your babies are in good hands as I’ve had training in all kinds of medical situations with all ages of cats, dogs, birds, and most reptiles! I left my job as a vet tech to stay home with my baby the past year and I’m so grateful for that. Now that he’s getting older I am excited to get back into pet care. You can be at ease knowing your pets are in good hands and safe with me. I am a stay at home mom to a one year old so my schedule is very open. Whatever your needs I have the flexibility to make it work. I will pay very close attention to all your instructions and tips to best take care of your pets. I also have a great background in caring for animals so I know what to be cautious of.
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, which strengthens my love for animals of every kind so your pups will be in great care, as I adore animals. I took Vet Nursing classes at Johnson college, where I worked hands on with both dogs and cats and I currently work part-time at a dog boarding center where i take care of 110 dogs daily. I currently work part-time at a doggy daycare/boarding center so I have all the time in the world to play with your pups! my work schedule varies, so when I can communicate my schedule for my job when it comes around, otherwise I am extremely flexible. I have a huge yard that is fenced in, so your pup will have so much room to play and get the exercise they need, and I am extremely energetic so your pup will be played with all day!

Lori was an amazing at-home sitter for our Belgian malinois, Roscoe. She took great care in sticking to his routine, gave him lots of love and special attention, gave us frequent updates and pictures, and left our house in perfect condition. We will absolutely book with Lori again in the future.
Megan was amazing. This was the first time I left my dog with anyone other than family. Megan sent updates, pictures and my dog was so so well cared for. She is great at following any special instructions. I am so grateful and will be using her again soon. She is simply the best.
My husband and I are new to the area and don’t know many people yet, so using Rover for the first time made us a little nerve wracking. Briana was absolutely AMAZING and took such incredible care of our dog. He truly loved her, which made us feel even more at ease. She went above and beyond, sending tons of pictures and frequent updates throughout the day which completely put our minds at ease. Knowing our boy was in such loving and capable hands meant everything to us, and we will 100% be using her again!
Morgan was amazing with our fur babies , went to do the check ins when asked. Stayed around to play with them too. And we loved getting lots of photos and videos each time she went for the check ins. Caint wait to use Morgan in the future. Our minds were at ease when we were away.
