“Allison and her family are truly caring of animals In their care and knowledgeable and conscientious about the needs of your pet. We left our corgi puppy for 11 days while on vacation and had daily updates and communication that was great. Allison is so sweet and accommodating, we had no worries at all and could leave town with ease of mind. There wasn’t any overcrowding or issues with other pets staying that would make our Sybil nervous. She practically became part of their family and was given attention and love. We will definitely use Allison for any future needs!”

“So happy we found such a wonderful sitter for our 2 babies! We were nervous the 1st night since they had never been boarded before, but Emmeline provided lots of updates that helped reassure me they were in great hands. We booked a 2nd stay as we were going out of town for a wedding, and the girls really seem to be loving it there. She kept them fed on time, lots of pets/cuddles and play time with regular walks. Thanks again Emmeline!! The girls are looking forward to seeing you again soon!”

“Alessandra was so great! I was super nervous using this app for the first time, but feel truly lucky and blessed having found Alessandra! Upon meeting her, I was super comfortable and I felt as though I was leaving my dog in the care of a good friend or trusted family member. She was very attentive and communicative, I appreciated all the updates and photos while I was away. I have nothing but good things to say, and absolutely recommend her! She will def be my go-to dog sitter! She’s the best!”

“Tracey is amazing! She and her family take such wonderful care of our babies! They absolutely love the farm and are so excited when we get there. There is so much room for them to run and play, and they come home relaxed and calm and usually go straight for a nap :). I recommend Tracey to anyone looking for awesome worry-free care for their fur babies.”

“I chose Margerita as my sitter the first time I used Rover and will always choose her. She is terrific. Even though it was last minute, she helped our family and we were able to attend a wedding out-of-town without worry. She even sent photos of him having a blast!-Camille D.”

“I am 100% satisfied with Nadine’s pet care service. My cats Curzon and Jadzia were welcomed and and enjoyed being with her house pets and got along so well with multiple cats. I was so pleased to get daily picture updates and Nadine responded timely to all my text messages. I highly recommend her for cat boarding and genuine pet care.”


“Lauren and her family looked after Scampi as their own. He was relaxed and seemed too relaxed to come home. He was not in a hurry! I will recommend Lauren and with past experiences I will give her A+! Thanks again Lauren.”

“Ana was amazing with my two pups! First time leaving my girls with someone else and also first time they’re away from home for the night. Ana made this process so easy! She was sending videos and lots of pictures. I will definitely use her in the future.”

“Mr. John took care of my first born fur baby very well! It’s nice to know I have someone reliable who can take care of my dog while I’m traveling. Will not be the first or last time booking with Mr. John 10/10!”


“I cannot recommend Steven enough! My dog is quite skittish with strangers and has a very specific routine at home, so I was nervous about boarding. Steven was incredibly understanding and listened to all my concerns, but what impressed me most was how he prioritized reading her body language over just following my instructions blindly. He understood that she might behave differently in a new environment and adapted brilliantly. Despite the challenges of a different household dynamic—managing a 'grazer' around his own dog and mirroring our busy family routine—he made her feel right at home. By the first night, she was eating, playing, and even sleeping in her crate! If you want a sitter who truly understands dog psychology and provides personalized care, Steven is the one.”

She noticed that our kitty who has feline herpes was having a stress flare up and asked if she could administer his eye drops. She gave us peace of mind while we were away. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking with her in the future.”

About: I’ve had dogs as pets since I was a baby. I have two chihuahuas that are 10 and 11 years old. I’ve had them since they were 8 weeks old and they are my babies. They are so spoiled and loved and my whole world. I’m currently taking a break from my full time job. My day depends on what I have scheduled, it’s very fluid and open. I start my day by scooping the cat litter box, letting my dogs outside to potty, taking care of and feeding my beta fish, opening windows and watering plants, and then making meals for my two cats and two dogs. I am at home majority of my day and spend a lot of time with my animals. I walk my two dogs everyday and make them meals. I brush my two cats everyday and give them enrichment activities. I spend the day cuddling with my dogs too. At my clients home, I would follow the directions provided to me as well as using my own discretion when necessary to provide the ultimate care. Your pets will be treated and loved like they are my own.

“Allison is always very friendly and accommodating around my schedule. I don’t have to worry about Mochi when I’m at work, because he is in good hands. She keeps me updated periodically throughout the day with Mochi’s best dog life schedule. 😊”

About: What makes me different is my hands on experience with animals of all ages and temperaments from playful puppies to wise senior pets.

Plus, I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about animal welfare. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities! I’m currently a college student half the day so I can have fun with your furry friends when you need me, I’m available on the weekends and most mornings on the weekdays I have a fence yard so your dog/dogs can play outside and for cats I have two cats, so friendly, I have toys for them too
“Ana is amazing! She is great with keeping me updated throughout the day with pictures and videos. My dog now jumps out of the car and runs to Ana when we arrive she gets so excited. I highly recommend Ana :)”


“My elderly dog Charlie spent the day with Steven and had a wonderful time. Steven took excellent care of Charlie, gave him treats, and made sure all of his needs were met. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my dog was in kind and caring hands. Highly recommend!”

“Alessandra took great care of my dog while I was at work today. I appreciated her flexibility when I booked on short notice. I have confidence Sansa will be well taken care of when she stays with her during our upcoming vacation.”

“Stephanie and her family were there for us when loud work in the neighborhood had us looking for a distraction for our pup. He had a great time in their home for the day and rested well when he got home. Her hospitality keeps us coming back.”

“We loved the service, and from the pictures we can tell Dexter was well taken care of and he had a great time. He’s a pup so we were worried about how he would do with the other dogs but looked like he fit right in. Thanks Jon! Definitely recommend and would trust them again with our boy.”

“It was the first time using this service both Gerald and Debbie were so welcoming! Chloe was a first time visitor and she made herself right at home. We are looking forward to another visit soon. If we could give a ten star rating we would!!! A huge hug to Baloo for being such a gentle giant with Chloe, I hope the two of them become besties over time!!!”

Most importantly, I carefully follow every detail and direction requested by the owner so their pet receives personalized care tailored to their needs.

About: I am a retiree that has always had pets in my life. I enjoy spending time with pets and have a great personality that they all love. I have been recently pet sitting for friends and family and I am now ready to venture out and help others. I have a flexible schedule and will treat your pet the way you would treat them. Being a retiree also allows me to be very flexible on drop in times to do pet visit while you are away. I am dependable and punctual. I have a small 5 pound Chihuahua named Midnite, she loves to travel with me and make new furry friends. We both like to enjoy life and have fun. She's an easy going lady like me and we are excited to start pet sitting. We look forward to meeting you.
About: I own my first pet 8 years ago. I had a mix poodle/chihuahua dog. I now have 4 big dogs that I love and care for so much and will take care of your pets as if they were my own. I also have 3 kitties that I care for. I’m currently a stay at home but I love to keep myself busy. I enjoy playing with my dogs and going on walks. I’m an outdoor person who enjoys the nature. I have 4 big energetic dogs husky, lab, border collie, and German shepherd.. I know a lot haha. But they are happy dogs who I feed , play and take care of well.

About: I've always loved taking care of animals. When I was little I had big plans of having a shelter for dogs, cats and horses. I had even planned out the cost. Two neighborhood cats took shelter in our home and garage had three litters with us, that had further sparked my young passion for pet care. Later in life I had taken care of neighbors and families pets. I also worked with and assisted a woman with a dog grooming service (and the occasional cat) which taught me a lot more about animal temperament and handling. I adore animals and would be honored to give your fuzzy friends my best care! I work part time at TJ Max I get my work schedule a week ahead and normally im scheduled for 1 to 2 days for 4 hour shifts. If I were to pet sit for you I would only need be away for 5 hours at a time if I'm shecduled (considering drive time). I am starting school this fall working toward becoming a nurse, so being able to work with animals in the meantime is a blessing. Through the week I care for my cat she is very important to me. In my experience every animal has their own routine they need to feel comfortable, and I am happy to learn and apply it to give the best care possible!
About: I’ve taken care of my family and my friends pets ever since I was little, just give me your instructions and I will follow them to the letter. Trying to make this my full time gig so I’m open 24/7 just hit me up and I will respond as soon as I can!!! From awaking in the morning to play with my own pup, engaging as I brew my morning coffee; moving in to cuddles and walks through lunchtime. Rounding out my day with more cuddles after an evening meal. Filling his bowl twice a day, once in the morning and again at night! From awaking in the morning to play with my own pup, engaging as I brew my morning coffee; moving in to cuddles and walks through lunchtime. Rounding out my day with more cuddles after an evening meal. Filling his bowl twice a day, once in the morning and again at night! But please tell me your pets needs and I will do my very best to accommodate to them!!!
About: Hello, Rover. I’ve got some extra time on my hands and I’d love to watch or walk some dogs. If you are interested do not hesitate to reach out. I look forward to any and all future prospects. I work from 8am to 3pm so anytime before or after is no problem. I am completely free Saturdays and Sundays as well as summer and winter breaks. I’m available for drop ins or longer stays. I require at least an hour notice of your return so I know exactly when it’s ok to leave. You may simply message me that you are on the way back. If you give me a key please specify if you’d like me to put it under a mat or hand it to you directly. I will honestly just cuddle and sit with your pet so I offer near constant supervision. I can easily crate your pet if needed as well. I will say I do not do well with very large very hyper dogs unless they are well trained.

“Coralie is great. My dogs look forward to their walks with her. She is caring, but also helpful in training them as well. She is good about walking according to your dog’s speed and needs. We have two energetic larger puppies and she manages to tire them out. She’s definitely a repeat in my book. She has been walking our dogs for the past month.”

About: I've always had dogs and crate trained my dogs. I know how to train basic commands but nothing really beyond that. I do love playing with dogs and also relaxing with them as well. I do work full time but I do work from home most of the week. So my schedule is pretty flexible for the most part. I have a fenced yard, and 4 friendly dogs. We do have 2 cats but they stay outside as they don't like our dogs. I make sure the the pet I babysit is comfortable and listen to instructions on the owners requests.
About: I have had pets since I can remember and I have loved every single one of them. I currently have 3 cats 2 of which are around 12 and the 3rd is around 3. As well as 2 dogs who are 8 and 4. They are my babies and I treat them with nothing but love and care. I have also fostered 4 kittens at different times, all finding loving and caring homes I am currently only working one day a week so I have plenty of time to be there for all your animals needs, I have 3 cats, 2 dogs, and a snake of my own that I take care of daily as well as past foster kittens. With my own pets I have had to administer medication and supplements so I am well aware of the responsibilities that comes with those needs. In my home my dogs are indoor and get feed 3 times a day everyday. My cats are indoor/outdoor and come in at night and are trained to do so. I know how to get a cat to come in if they are being a little stubborn as well as getting dogs to go out to use the restroom as needed.

About: I am a stay at home mom and dogs have been a part of my family since I was 9. I do have 4 children but they are older and love dogs. I have had lots of experience sitting both large and small dogs as well as kittens. I spend most of the day at home except for small errands here and there. Right now I have 1 border collie who loves to meet new dogs and gets along great with them. I can ensure that your dog will feel comfortable here as if it was their own home. Animals have always been a part of my life, especially dogs. I have taken care of a few kittens also. I am willing to accept some well-behaved large dogs, however, I will not be able to accept any aggressive, anxious or timid dogs. I also have experience taking care of rabbits, with 2 of my own. I'm a stay at home mom who has errands here and there. I'm available all weekdays. On Sunday I go to church from 4:30-7:30 and on Saturdays from 5:30-7:30. I have a big fenced backyard and all pets stay indoors and go out to socialize and play. I also feed pets separately to ensure there is no food aggression. If your pet is nervous and doesn't bond well at first, I won't take them out in the front yard or on walks for security reasons.

About: I love animals and would love to help you watch yours if you're out or take them on walks for you! I had a German-Shorthaired Pointer/Labrador mix for 11 years, he passed away recently but brought years of joy and experience with a highly-energetic dog. I recently got my first cat, and I have lived with several other dogs and cats. I do not have any professional experience grooming or dealing with animals, but I am more than willing to help out with letting dogs out, taking them on walks, etc. I definitely have plenty of experience walking dogs because of my little guy. I look forward to hearing from you soon! I currently have quite open availability, almost any day and time should work with some notice, and I will try to make it work regardless. I have a fenced-in yard where a dog can go outside/play fetch. I have 1 cat, but he can be kept in a separate area of the house if preferred.
About: I’ve cared for animals for most of my life and have always been someone friends and family trust with their pets. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I take the time to understand each animal’s personality and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and maintaining routines so pets feel safe and secure while you’re away. Whether a pet is energetic, anxious, or more independent, I adjust my approach to what works best for them. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I aim to provide dependable, gentle care every time. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day.

I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and can adjust timing as needed to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and respectful environment for every pet. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications if needed, and any specific preferences your pet has. I’m attentive to behavior and body language, especially with shy or anxious animals, and I always prioritize their comfort and safety. I also respect your home and space, keeping things clean and secure while you’re away. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands!

She and her family cared for our guy for several days/nights. They treated him like family tending to his needs and showering him with attention & fun. We look forward to the next time we turn Stephanie to support our guy's care.”
