“Elizabeth was amazing with my dog while I was traveling for work. She sent daily updates and many pictures. I would definitely use her services again.”

“Josh was wonderful! Our dog can be wary of new people, but Josh took the time to get to know him and let Coqui warm up to him slowly. He was respectful of our property (left our house so clean), was highly responsive, and communicative. We will definitely hire Josh again!”

“Robert housesat with our 2 dogs and was fantastic with the pups and as a houseguest. He worked so well with our pups and their personalities. Robert's communication is very helpful and reassuring. I was "at peace" during our entire trip away because he sent regular updates and stayed in touch during our travel days. Robert is very professional, communicative, and so good with animals. You can tell he really does this for the joy he gets taking care of your pets. You will not be sorry if you book Robert!”

“Mary was wonderful. It was obvious my dog, Cedar, was at ease with her and well cared for. Mary left notes about Cedar’s meal times and bathroom breaks as well as sending pictures and comments in the app. Everything went 110% smoothly and I didn’t have any concerns or worries at all while away which is a great feeling. Thank you! We hope to book again in the future.”

“Kaitlyn was great with the dogs right from the meet and greet. She handled their different personalities and medical needs perfectly. She did all that was asked and more. Thank you for allowing me the peace of mind to enjoy this week with friends!!”

“Ashley was wonderful - came all the way to us for a meet and greet and gave good vibes right away. Before our event, she came on time and provided updates and we felt very reassured. Our pup also loved her right away. Would recommend!”

Rachel M.

“Karina always shows such care for my pets. My dog and cat both have health issues that require multiple medicines and supplements. She always follows their routine closely, asks questions to make sure she’s providing good care, takes my dog on daily walks, and sends daily pictures. I also come home to a clean house. I will not hesitate to request pet/house sitting from Karina again and I highly recommend her!”

About: I have had two labradors over the last 33 years -- each of them lived over 16 years. My dear Ruby died earlier this year and I am not yet ready to adopt another dog. I have provided dog sitting to other labs, goldens, terriers, and 'background not confirmed' rescues for friends, relatives, and neighbors for over a dozen years. I can easily put you in contact with any of them if you'd like references. They are the ones that gave me the nickname Camp (or Spa) Marlene because their dogs had great stays with me. Kiddie pool in summer, trips to a lake (if the dogs have good recall) walks in morning and at night, goodies and lots of snuggles. If I'm not sharing my love with dogs, I like to read, travel, downhill ski, and play tennis. While I cannot accept cats boarding at my house, I am fine with sitting your dog's cat siblings as well while I am at your house. I work full time, so your dog will get a long walk, snuggles and breakfast before I go to work and likewise with dinner after I return home. If your dog usually goes to a dog park, I can follow that routine as well. I only take one client at a time, unless you and a friend already have established friendships between your dogs. I have a ranch house with a fenced backyard. If your dog has trouble with stairs, I have dog ramp to put on my 2 backyard steps to make going outside easy. Your dog is welcome to be free in the house while I am at work, but I have a large crate they can stay in (or bring your own) if they are more comfortable that way. If you want me to sit at your house, I'll follow whatever routine you use when you are gone.

“Edwin was a great dog sitter for Cosmo. He communicated with us very promptly and often. He sent pictures a few times a day and Cosmo always looked happy and content. Edwin left our house clean and in order. We would happily have him to take care of Cosmo again!”

Jeannette L.

“I booked Jen to sit my senior dog who is very sweet but particular, and she did a fantastic job. Super clearly asking about his needs and his schedule so I could go on a family trip with no worries about my boy. Super timely and clear updates with fantastic pictures that made me feel immediately comforted. I’m looking forward to booking with Jen again when Peanut needs some extra care.”

Marian A.

“Maricel was great with Oreo and kept me uptodate with walks and activities. She took great care of Oreo and he was a happy dog when I got home!!!”

John T.

“Ruby did a great job taking care of our two labrador puppies (9 weeks and 9 months old). The pups seemed very happy and content when we came home.”

Ben D.

“Our most trusted sitter. Our pup loves him! He gives him lots of exercise and attention. Whenever I'm out of town, Nate is the first person I think of to watch my dog. Can't recommend him enough”

Anaelys B.

“Becca does such a great job with my senior lab. She takes care of all my dog’s needs and she is always excited to see Becca. She also does a wonderful job communicating and keeping me informed about how the days are going.”

Angela S.

“Askley dog sitted at our house for the weekend. She was very responsive to initial inquiry as well as continued communication. She was professional yet very friendly and asked appropriate questions about our dogs . Our dogs are quite a handful but she developed a fast relationship with them. She sent pictures and brief update daily. So glad we found an amazing caregiver thru Rover!”

About: I have experience with all kinds of personalities—from easygoing, social dogs to those who are a little more anxious or need a slower, calmer approach. I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and help them feel comfortable. As a nurse and owner of a medically complex pup- I’m very comfortable supporting dogs who may need medications, routines or a little extra care. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone. I’ll take the time to get to know your dog and adjust to what makes them happiest—whether that’s playtime, walks, or just a calm, cozy environment. My goal is to make their time with me feel as safe, calm, and stress-free as possible. I’d love to meet you and your pup—feel free to reach out anytime with questions! I work part-time as a nurse with a rotating schedule, which means I often have full days at home during the week. My availability varies slightly week to week, but I keep my calendar updated and am happy to work with your schedule when possible. Disclosure: I've got two crazy pups of my own. Rover is an individual not a pact hobby. My dogs won't be accompanying me on these adventures! I have experience managing different temperaments and can adjust care to meet your dog’s needs, whether that’s a calm, low-stimulation environment or more active play and walks. I want to keep things consistent and familiar for them. While I don’t have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised and dogs are always kept on a secure leash. I can also incorporate trips to local parks or dog parks (if appropriate for your dog’s temperament and your preference). Additional services available upon request: • Basic bath & tidy (wash, dry, light brushing) • Vet visits & transportation • Pick-up & drop-off services • Medication or other medical cares • Customized care based on your dog’s needs I know how hard it can be to leave your pet—I’ll keep you updated so you can feel totally at ease while you’re away!

“Travis did a great job with our two dogs and cat! He was very attentive and caring to our animals, which we greatly appreciated. He sent us pictures and kept in touch with us daily too, which we asked for and loved. He was also very responsible at our home and left it in the same condition in which he found it. Highly recommend and will hire him again.”

About: I have owned 4 dogs in the past 30 years; a Chihuahua/Toy Terrier, a Chihuahua/Shitzu, a Dachshund/Corgi and I recently owned a Toy Poodle - who was elderly, anxious, blind and toothless. She recently crossed the rainbow bridge and I miss her so. She was my world! My past dog sitting experience includes overnight care for; a Keeshond, a Terrier, a medium sized mixed breed, a Japanese Chin/Poodle, a Standard Poodle, a Sheltie, and a Pomeranian. Dogs are my special interest and I enjoy loving and caring for them. My 30 years of experience with different dog breeds and temperaments has shaped my ability to have realistic expectations, intentional patience and flexibility with the individual dog personalities that I have encountered. They are all good dogs and I love them all! I am available most days and evenings. I can make home visits to let your dog/s out, walk your dog/s, and/or pet sit overnight as needed. I am flexible with how I can care for your pet. My intention is to keep your dog/s in the routine that they are familiar with so that they can be the calm, happy dog/s they are destined to be. Unfortunately, I am unavailable to have your dog/s in my home because I live in an apartment.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a child and have always had a deep love for pets. Over the years I’ve gained experience with a wide range of animals including dogs, cats, horses, and even turtles. Spending time with animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. After losing my own cat last year, caring for other people’s pets has become even more meaningful. I genuinely enjoy giving animals attention, companionship, and a sense of safety while their owners are away. I’m attentive to routines and understand how important consistency is for pets. I’m comfortable caring for animals of different ages and temperaments, including senior pets who may need extra patience and a gentler pace. I’m also happy to reinforce basic training and positive behavior with younger pets. What sets me apart is the level of care and presence I bring. I treat every animal as if they were my own and aim to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give animals the time and attention they need. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, and I make sure each pet receives unhurried, attentive care. When I’m caring for a pet, I prioritize their routine—whether that means feeding at specific times, playtime, litter box cleaning, or simply spending quiet time with them so they feel comfortable and relaxed. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while they’re away. Because I truly enjoy spending time with animals, I make sure each visit is more than just a quick check-in. My goal is for pets to feel cared for, safe, and comfortable until their owner returns. I approach pet care with a strong focus on safety, respect, and maintaining the environment pets are most comfortable in. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible—feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any specific care instructions. I’m attentive to details and always make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure so pets remain safe. I also pay close attention to each cat’s behavior and comfort level, giving them space when they need it and affection when they want it. Cleanliness and consistency are important to me. I keep feeding areas and litter boxes tidy and leave the home the way I found it. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away.
