“Morgan was absolutely amazing with our dog, Winston! From the moment we picked him up, he looked happy, healthy, and so well cared for. It was clear that Morgan and her family treated him with genuine love and kindness, and that gave us so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond by sending beautiful pictures and even thoughtful gifts home with Winston—the frame, photos, and toys were such a sweet surprise and truly meant a lot to us. You can tell Morgan is a true animal lover who cares deeply about the pets she watches. We are incredibly grateful for the attention, warmth, and exceptional care she provided. We will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Tracey took excellent care of my dog during an extended trip abroad. She provided frequent pictures and updates. I am certain that my dog enjoyed a really fun experience and I am confident that she was safe and well-cared for. I definitely plan to reach out to Tracey again!!”
“Celia was very kind, understanding and helpful she accepted my last minute request. Great person and I felt extremely safe leaving my husky with her, she made sure to attend ALL my dogs needs. She made sure my dog was safe and loved for her stay! I absolutely recommend her to anyone needing someone to take care of their pet! 10/10 service and very trustworthy.”
“Emmeline was awesome. She cared for my dog who’s a bit anxious. I received plenty of updates and pics. Was prompt and professional. Would definitely recommend Emmeline and will be using her in the future.”
“Allison gave excellent care to my dogs. It was my first time using Rover and she made me feel at ease that my pups were happy and receiving excellent attention by daily updates and pictures. I will definitely take my pups to Allison again.👍🏼😊💕”
“I was really nervous about using Rover for the first time, but Amy provided very good communication with me & sent photos about 3 times a day, so I never felt like I needed to ask her for any updates, which was great considering how busy I was with my wedding. My good boy got to play in the sun with her other dogs, ate treats, & even slept in her bed, so I know he was comfortable & well taken care of.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Our guy has some special needs requiring meds, a strict diet, etc. Stephanie heard my concerns and asked all the right questions. It was easy to trust her. 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.”
About: Pet Care is important! I can help with your pets needs as your away from home whether on vacation or at work for long hours,I can stop by to help! I add more water & food, play/entertain, take cat outside for an outdoor break, or take your dog on W-A-L-Ks. I offer drop ins / dog walks during the week and overnight stay from Fri-Mon. I provided pet care services for over 10 years and met incredible pets ranging from: your traditional pets(dogs,cats,fish), exotic pets( Asian water monitor Lizard, birds), farm animals (bunnies, chickens, etc.) As a dedicated pet sitter, my daily and weekly routine revolves around ensuring the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care. Here's an overview of how pet care fits into my schedule: Daily Routine: Morning Check-ins: I start the day by visiting each pet on time.This includes feeding, providing fresh water, and spending quality time with them for play and companionship. Midday Breaks: For clients who prefer midday check-ins, I make sure to visit again to offer bathroom breaks, playtime, and any necessary medications. Afternoon Activities: In the afternoon, I engage pets in activities suitable for their energy levels, whether it's a walk, interactive play, or simply some cuddle time. Evening Check-ins: The evening routine involves another round of feeding, ensuring their comfort, and spending time with them before bedtime. 1.Dedicated Pet Space: Pets have access to a dedicated and comfortable space in my home, ensuring they have their own area to relax, sleep, and play. This space is designed to make them feel secure and at home. Dogs in my care will also have the opportunity to go outside every hour for approximately 30 minutes, where they can enjoy the fresh air and outdoor environment. During this time, they will be closely monitored to ensure their safety and well-being. 2.Regular Exercise: Pets staying with me enjoy regular exercise routines, including walks, playtime, and access to a secure outdoor area. 3.Social Interaction: Pets are not only included in my daily activities but also have social time with the residents of the home, including my own friendly dogs. My four dogs, spanning different ages, are consistently supervised during play sessions to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment. 4.Feeding Schedule: I maintain a consistent feeding schedule based on the pet's dietary needs and preferences, following any specific instructions provided by the owner. 5.Grooming and Hygiene: Basic grooming activities such as brushing are included in the care routine. Please note that nail trimming is not offered. However, I do provide a deep clean wash and dry for an additional $15 charge, ensuring your pet receives a thorough grooming experience. 6.Health Monitoring: I pay close attention to the pet's health and behavior, promptly addressing any concerns and providing necessary medications or veterinary care.
“Nathan and family were great! Very communicative and our dog seemed right at home! Which is huge because she has high anxiety but she loved it with Nathan and crew. Will definitely be rebooking soon.”
“Stella and her family took great care of my puppy during his extended stay. He became very close with her family, made friends with her dogs, and took many leisurely walks in her backyard. He had a great time and seems like he even became more easygoing and outgoing after we came home. I would highly recommend her!!”
“An is such an amazing woman! She was so sweet kept me updated about my puppy and everything they did together with photos! I will be coming back when we do need a pup sitter! She was very accommodating, and very helpful! Thank you so much girly!”
“Margerita was very accommodating and understanding during the entire stay. I was worried about leaving my dog for the first time, but she communicated well and helped my husband and I ease our mind. My Australian shepherd is an anxious dog, but when I picked her up she seemed very happy and taken care of. I could tell that Margerita was able to handle my dog incredibly well and it made me extremely happy to have my dog socialized with Margeritas pets. I highly recommend her services, and I will definitely book through her in the future!”
About: Always had dogs. Lost my rescue dog at 19 years. Sit/board a separation anxiety prone dog. Worked at a small animal hospital for 3 years.

About: I used to cat sit and house sit for my sister constantly when I lived in North Dakota. She had two beautiful babies one boy named Biscuit and a spunky girl named Gravy. I never had cats of my own growing up because my mom was allergic but I am such an animal lover all around and bring a calm peaceful energy with me.
About: I’ve had cats as pets since I was about five years old. I’m very knowledgeable when it comes to their behaviors, mood, and needs. I’ve had kittens to senior cats in my life. Cats are very special to me, I have a Maine coon and a Bengal currently that are my babies.
About: My family has raised both cats and dogs since I was young, so I will happily take requests for either pet! I have also trained our family dog a couple of small tricks over the years. A few years ago I volunteered for a rescue organization and fostered some kittens and helped get them adopted to loving families. I'm a college student and have just completed my third year, so my schedule is currently open from Sunday to Friday, starting at 7 am. I will fulfill the standard requirements: feeding, walking, grooming, and playing. But I will also listen to any requests the client has, whether that be a medical need or a special act of affection. I find it important to hear what the client has to say as they know their pet the best.

About: I grew up in a house full of animals and have been caring for dogs and cats ever since. I understand how stressful it is to leave your pet with someone new, so I make it my priority to follow their routines and keep them comfortable. My experience includes: - Senior pets who need slower-paced care and extra attention - Puppies and younger dogs who need training reinforcement and boundaries - Shy or anxious pets who take time to warm up - Cats with specific feeding schedules, litter preferences, or medical needs - Multi-pet households where each animal has different requirements I take this work seriously because I know what your pet means to you. When you book with me, you're not getting someone who's just going through the motions. You're getting someone who will care for your dog or cat the way they deserve. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which means I'm home most of the day. That gives me time to: - Take dogs on multiple walks or play sessions throughout the day - Keep cats on their normal feeding and playtime routines - Stay present for pets who need companionship or have separation anxiety I can adjust my availability based on your needs, whether that's overnight stays, drop-in visits, or regular walking. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. In your home: - I follow your routines exactly—feeding times, walk routes, medication schedules, bedtime habits - I keep doors and gates secure, especially with escape-prone cats or anxious dogs - I send updates and photos so you know how things are going - I treat your home with respect and leave it the way I found it In my home: - Clean, pet-friendly space with secure doors and windows - Separate areas for pets who need their own space (especially important for cats) - Comfortable sleeping areas, fresh water, and plenty of playtime or downtime based on what they prefer When you trust me with your pet, I take that seriously. They get the same care, consistency, and attention I'd give my own. No exceptions.

About: I’ve owned my cat for over 10 years now. Within the last few years I’ve rescued and found homes for kittens in need. I love cats, I always have. Most people believe they don’t need much attention, although they are wildly independent I understand they still need lots of love and care. My cat Savvy is so attached to me and doesn’t like to be left alone for too long. Please allow me to help you look after your little loved ones when life gets busy!
“Lesley is a very sweet and kind person who was willing to listen to my requests of how to take care of my cat, Remy who requires extra care since she can’t walk. She has the patience and willingness to learn and care for any pet. I would definitely recommend Lesley and hire her again.”
“We had Coralie drop in on our cats while we were out of town for two weeks and she was great with them. She sent us photos and we came home to two happy cats. Our shy cat even let Coralie pet her by the end of the booking. Would love to book her again if she's available :)”
About: I have two years of hands-on experience caring for cats, including feeding, litter maintenance, and giving them the attention they need to feel comfortable.

About: My family has owned and cared for dogs as long as I can remember and my aunt was a career dog trainer and groomer. We have had a mix of breeds from chihuahuas to pitbulls to German shepard mixes. I've taken them out for walks, bathed, fed, and cared for them all over the years as well as generally cared for them and given the attention they require to maintain a healthy mood. I work Tuesday through Saturday from 8 to 4, so I can work with the pets either in the evenings of those days or any time Sundays and Mondays! I will be happy to work with the dog in whatever way is desired for your particular living environment, whether that means in a crate or fenced area inside, or roaming free outdoors.
About: I have always had cats in my life. Caring for my now past Tigger who was 22 years old, through his life he faced a lot of medical problems. I helped give him medication, IV drips, groom matted fur comfortably etc. I also grew up raising 3 litters of kittens. I now have only one cat who came with me from Ohio she is a 2 year old calico named Marciline who loves adventure. When meeting any new animal it's important to take it slow and give space to learn about them. Their comfort levels of engagement as well as needs, ensuring they feel safe, secure and respected. I especially think this is true for kitties.
“Alyssa is great and handles our Samson really well! She is on time and walks our dog for most of the drop in, letting out energy while our family is out of the house. Samson comes back happy and content.”

About: I’m Emma, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of pet sitting for friends, neighbors, family, and referrals—looking after everything from playful pups and snuggly cats to chickens, bunnies, and even someones 4-H ducks.

If your pet is an eloper I’ll make sure to keep all doors shut and be mindful when walking in and out to not let them out. I have plenty of experience with scooping dog poop and cleaning kitty litter. I have a client who gave me a key to keep for if they are ever out of town due to an emergency I can be able to get in to care for their pets that is how trust worthy I am. The client is also not a neighbor or friend.
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 4 years now. I have had dogs since I was a child, but have been fostering and caring for animals for about 4 years now. I am patient and Cat and Dog First Aid training from American Red Cross. I am currently working part-time, I have time to take on walks, stop by and play, or even feed meals if needed for the pooch. I have a fully fenced in backyard. I have 4 dogs that are all dog friendly, but have their own area of the backyard and are crate trained. My babies are all vaccinated and are on flea and tick medicine. My dogs will most likely be kept separate from your fur babies.
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'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 and my aunts dog. my kitty gets soup time nightly (wet food) and my aunts dog takes two walks a day. 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: Growing up with animals my whole life I’ve always had a fond love of my pets. I’ve watched numerous family and friends animals while they were away and loved spending time with every one of their pets. I furthered my education by obtaining a bachelors degree in animals science and working in vet medicine, it’s to safe to say it’s my passion! Can’t wait to meet your beloved pets! I currently work at an equine veterinary hospital only 4 days a week. My schedule is flexible enough to maintain your pets normal routines and schedules! Other than work my priority would be your pets! I have a strong love and passion for taking care of animals and take pride in giving the best care to your pets while you’re away! Having 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own, I understand just how important our pets are and how we love them like family. I am passionate about providing the best care for your pets as I would care for my own. I strive to ensure your pets are provided for in the best way possible that fits all your needs and provides comfort and peace of mind to you and your family.
“Alyssa is great! She responded quickly, showed up on time and was very professional. Our pup was tired out after his brisk 30 minute walk. What great service! Will definitely rebook with Alyssa.”

“Morgan was absolutely amazing with our dog, Winston! From the moment we picked him up, he looked happy, healthy, and so well cared for. It was clear that Morgan and her family treated him with genuine love and kindness, and that gave us so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond by sending beautiful pictures and even thoughtful gifts home with Winston—the frame, photos, and toys were such a sweet surprise and truly meant a lot to us. You can tell Morgan is a true animal lover who cares deeply about the pets she watches. We are incredibly grateful for the attention, warmth, and exceptional care she provided. We will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Tracey took excellent care of my dog during an extended trip abroad. She provided frequent pictures and updates. I am certain that my dog enjoyed a really fun experience and I am confident that she was safe and well-cared for. I definitely plan to reach out to Tracey again!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Our guy has some special needs requiring meds, a strict diet, etc. Stephanie heard my concerns and asked all the right questions. It was easy to trust her. 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.”
About: Pet Care is important! I can help with your pets needs as your away from home whether on vacation or at work for long hours,I can stop by to help! I add more water & food, play/entertain, take cat outside for an outdoor break, or take your dog on W-A-L-Ks. I offer drop ins / dog walks during the week and overnight stay from Fri-Mon. I provided pet care services for over 10 years and met incredible pets ranging from: your traditional pets(dogs,cats,fish), exotic pets( Asian water monitor Lizard, birds), farm animals (bunnies, chickens, etc.) As a dedicated pet sitter, my daily and weekly routine revolves around ensuring the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care. Here's an overview of how pet care fits into my schedule: Daily Routine: Morning Check-ins: I start the day by visiting each pet on time.This includes feeding, providing fresh water, and spending quality time with them for play and companionship. Midday Breaks: For clients who prefer midday check-ins, I make sure to visit again to offer bathroom breaks, playtime, and any necessary medications. Afternoon Activities: In the afternoon, I engage pets in activities suitable for their energy levels, whether it's a walk, interactive play, or simply some cuddle time. Evening Check-ins: The evening routine involves another round of feeding, ensuring their comfort, and spending time with them before bedtime. 1.Dedicated Pet Space: Pets have access to a dedicated and comfortable space in my home, ensuring they have their own area to relax, sleep, and play. This space is designed to make them feel secure and at home. Dogs in my care will also have the opportunity to go outside every hour for approximately 30 minutes, where they can enjoy the fresh air and outdoor environment. During this time, they will be closely monitored to ensure their safety and well-being. 2.Regular Exercise: Pets staying with me enjoy regular exercise routines, including walks, playtime, and access to a secure outdoor area. 3.Social Interaction: Pets are not only included in my daily activities but also have social time with the residents of the home, including my own friendly dogs. My four dogs, spanning different ages, are consistently supervised during play sessions to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment. 4.Feeding Schedule: I maintain a consistent feeding schedule based on the pet's dietary needs and preferences, following any specific instructions provided by the owner. 5.Grooming and Hygiene: Basic grooming activities such as brushing are included in the care routine. Please note that nail trimming is not offered. However, I do provide a deep clean wash and dry for an additional $15 charge, ensuring your pet receives a thorough grooming experience. 6.Health Monitoring: I pay close attention to the pet's health and behavior, promptly addressing any concerns and providing necessary medications or veterinary care.
“Nathan and family were great! Very communicative and our dog seemed right at home! Which is huge because she has high anxiety but she loved it with Nathan and crew. Will definitely be rebooking soon.”
“Stella and her family took great care of my puppy during his extended stay. He became very close with her family, made friends with her dogs, and took many leisurely walks in her backyard. He had a great time and seems like he even became more easygoing and outgoing after we came home. I would highly recommend her!!”
“An is such an amazing woman! She was so sweet kept me updated about my puppy and everything they did together with photos! I will be coming back when we do need a pup sitter! She was very accommodating, and very helpful! Thank you so much girly!”
About: I have always been a dog lover as well as a dog owner. I am outgoing, responsible, patient and affectionate. I make sure I am caring for each dog properly for their needs and wants. I am able to exercise with the dogs and take them out frequently for potty breaks. I also now have 2 large breeds of my own and it has been a mostly fun and rewarding experience. They help me with my mental health and physical health. My family and I have so much fun dog boarding and I find it fulfilling to work as a dog sitter. Maybe I'll open up a unique pet services business one day 🙏🏾🤗🫶🏾 Pet care fits into my schedule when I am not working a full-time job. As I stated, I have 2 dogs of my own and spend a lot of time training them and taking care of their physical needs. In my own home and in a clients home I will care for your pets as if they were my own and follow the guidelines and notes that are given to me. I appreciate notes and advice from owners.
“Ana was absolutely fantastic. It is obvious that she loves dogs. She was so sweet and took great care of our nervous border collie. Ana sent lots and lots of updates and videos. We boarded our dog Rosie with her for three days and I’m sure she would have happily stayed longer. Ana was incredibly flexible with arranging drop off and pick up times and her kindness allowed us to be able to focus on our trip knowing that our dog was well taken care of. If you are looking for a capable and considerate person to watch your pup, go with Ana.”
“Paovanary took amazing care of our dogs! She took them on walks and sent plenty of pictures and updates. She was very communicative and flexible with us when our schedule changed for drop-off and pick-up. I would highly recommend her!”
About: 15 years of experience with dog sitting/walking. Discount may be give to repeat customers. I speak English, Portuguese, Spanish, and some Russian in case you have limited English and feel comfortable using one of those. I have taken care of old dogs, puppies, dogs small, large, and In between too. I’m extremely responsible with ensuring your pet receives their medication as needed, if needed. I love to walk, but tailor my services to your dogs needs. Want me to have them socialize with my dog, done. Want me to keep the dogs separate, I can do that too. Message me and let me know what you need! Something that separates me from others: I understand some dogs are just vocal and not aggressive. I have experience sitting extremely vocal dogs who most people would think are aggressive, but really they just like to bark. Please disclose if your dog is not good around children when booking! Thank you and I’m looking forward to meeting you and your dog(s). I don’t discriminate based on gender, gender expression, religion, age, sexual orientation, race, or for any other reason. I welcome and respect all people and dogs I am currently working from home with a dog of my own, this allows me to adjust my daily schedule to your pets needs. I go on daily walks so your dog will fit right in. I have a fenced yard and a dog for your dog to socialize, but also have room to keep them separate if preferred. Dogs are fed as much and as often as requested by owner along with the amount of potty breaks. If the pet is house trained they are also allowed to be in the home, I have house trained dogs so can help with that too. I love to give dogs treats so they can expect treats when they are over if approved by you!
“Definitely 💯 recommend Mr. Kyle. He is awesome 👏. He paid attention to detail and everything we asked and said. He played with our Millie and took our her on walks. He treated her like she was his own. Which we loved.We will definitely use his services again and will recommend him. Thank you 😊 Kyle”
About: I have cared for animals my entire life, because I grew surrounded by them. My goal is to work with any type of animal. Currently I’m studying to become a veterinarian, having this opportunity helps me get more experience and become better at it. Besides my personal life, I’ve taken courses in college to understand better animal behavior and learn more about it! I’ll always do my best to keep your loved ones safe and happy! I’m currently studying in College, but I have plenty of time after 2pm during Monday to Thursday. During Friday and Weekends I’m free and always available for any services! I live in a house that has plenty of space and is fenced. I also have a really friendly dog that loves to play around animals. If your fur baby is more comfortable inside the house, we have plenty of space inside where they can run and play!
