“Christal was amazing with my hyper and strong pitty! She has some reactivity issues and I always get worried leaving her but Christal eased those anxieties with texts, pictures, and videos of their walks and play time. Highly recommend!”


“Part of me doesn’t want you to know how amazing Ann is so she’s available for me!!!! So responsive and loving towards my fur babies. I feel as though she’s a friend!”


About: I have had dogs my whole life and have pet sit for friends and family since I was 9. I love all types of pups with different personalities. I can be high energy for dogs who need it, but also am fine with chilling with low activity. Can’t wait to meet new fur babies!! I am wanting to do pet care as something to keep me busy and active, and for a second job that I will easily enjoy! My house does not have a fence around the yard, but would be taken out on a leash. There are no other pets in the house.

“Ashely was wonderful! She watched out three cats over the holidays and was very accommodating to our schedule. She sent us many pictures and updates on how our kitties were doing and we knew we had nothing to worry about while we were away. Definitely recommend Ashley for watching your fur babies!”


“Marissa was great! My dogs loved her right away. She was on time and gave me updates and pictures of the dogs. She made me feel comfortable and made it easy to trust her. I will use her again!”


About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, including my two playful Labradors who keep me on my toes daily. I’ve also provided loving care for senior dogs, making sure they get the extra patience and attention they need — whether it’s slow strolls, administering medications, or just lots of cuddles. I work remotely so I can pop by throughout the day on my breaks. Depending on location it can be several times throughout the day. I can play with your dog in the yard, take them for a walk, feed them breakfast, lunch, or dinner—whatever they need to feel happy and cared for. I can also crate them if needed.

About: I’ve pet sat since high school, rescued many dogs and had my own pets. I will keep your home clean, care deeply for your pets, send updates, and enjoy lung walks and run if needed. I am a third-year veterinary student. I can spend most weekends at your house with your pup, and during the weekdays, I will take care of them between classes and all night. I enjoy maintaining a consistent environment, providing fresh water, serving meals on time, and engaging in playtime with your pets. I send photo or video updates and always ensure that everything is left clean.

About: I have been dogsitting for +8 years for friends, family members and dear Rover clients. You will read from some testimonials that I can be trustworthy with their pet(s), so much so that they have referred me to other friends and families. I work full-time near downtown 10-6 on Tuesdays-Fridays and from home Mondays, however there is flexibility throughout the week. I have evenings and weekends generally open to care for your pet with my full attention! I usually care for pets in the comfort of their home! At this time, I, unfortunately, cannot host pets in my home - though this may change at a later time.

About: I have a soft spot for all animals big and small. I helped raise my family dog, Finn, who is now a 10 year old Morkie. Multiple friends have trusted me to walk and pet sit their animals and I have experience with small and large breeds. I have also volunteered for 2 years with 4 Paws for Ability, an organization that trains puppies to become service dogs. I am an owner of a black cat named Sesame who I adopted from a cat cafe earlier this year. I am currently a healthcare professional who just graduated school. I am waiting to start a job at the end of October, so I have some free time in the next few months I’m looking to fill with lots of walks and scratches. Safety is my number one priority for your pet and myself. I am good with communication and as a pet owner myself, I understand how much pets mean to us.

“Kelly was amazing with our puppers! She graciously came over before the first sitting job to let the dogs get comfortable/familiar with her. She is super nice and we can tell that she adores animals. Our dogs love her! We would recommend Kelly to anyone.”


About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my reliable, attentive care. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s high-energy playtime, gentle senior care, or sticking to a detailed routine, I adapt to your pet’s unique needs. I’m currently in school, but my schedule is flexible enough to give pets the attention and care they deserve. I use my free time between classes and on weekends to provide walks, playtime, and lots of love. I stick closely to your pet’s routine—mealtimes, potty breaks, walks, and play—all while keeping your space clean and respected. I make sure pets feel secure while you’re away by giving them lots of attention, snuggles, and consistency.

“I needed care for my puppy on short notice, and Jeffrey did an exceptional job! I trusted that my pup was safe and happy which is so comforting. I would recommend Jeffrey to anyone in need of pet care!”


“Repeat client here! Malorie is fantastic and I am always so happy when she is available to take care of our cat. She takes time to send pictures and updates too. I can see that he brought out his favorite toy to play with her during her visits this week which was cute!”


“Joey was polite, professional, and communicated well. He took care of both of my cats and provided valuable peace of mind while I was out of town. I would definitely book his services again.”


About: My family got our first dog when I was 5 years old (I creatively named him Bingo). Since then, my love for dogs has only grown and I've cared for all types of dogs of various breeds from yorkies to hound dogs to golden doodles. I have experience in caring for senior dogs with medical concerns (medications, incontinence, etc) as well as puppies who may need additional attention. I love to take pups for walks and make sure they get plenty of exercise and entertainment while their pet-parents are away. I have experience with dogs from hard backgrounds that may be timid, so rescues are no issue for me. I would love the opportunity to care for your dogs! I am currently a graduate student, so I am available in the evenings during the week as well as all day on the weekends. I'm available for sitting/check-ins after 4 pm during the week and all day during on the weekend. I see pet care as a treat after a long day of grad school that allows me to destress, so I would love to be able to spend time with your pet while you are away. My pets are thoroughly spoiled. I love to pick up a surprise treat or toy on the way home for my fur-babies and I always make time to play with them after a long day. I show the same care and love for my clients' pets as I do for my own and I would love to spoil yours :) I encourage communication and am very quick to respond to texts, so please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any concerns or additional tips I should know about your pet.

“Jean was the best person to watch over our puppy while we enjoyed a weekend away. She was able to pick up on short notice during a holiday weekend & took funny photos along the way. Jean truly went above and beyond for us and our puppy. I will be requesting her everytime!!! We love Jean and so does Copper!!!”
