“As usual, Jami & Frances were fantastic! My dog Murphy is pretty much a regular with them. They love him and treat him like family every time he stays with them. Communication is always clear and timely and I couldn't ask for a better sitter. They are simply wonderful.”
“Once again thank you so much for taking care of Teddy. I can tell he even miss you after picking him up and notice he didn't cry when we said goodbye , he feels so comfortable with you.”
“Would recommend Annie a million times over!!! We have separation anxious dog that has her quirks, but with Annie there were no whining or crying. Lots of update with pictures were the best to see, and eased our own stress lol Annie seriously went above and beyond our expectations! We could RELAX on our vacation and know Jane was also having a great time being loved!”
“Beverly was wonderful with my pups and they had so much fun staying with her. Our pups got lots of sunshine and outdoor time all in a safe and enclosed yard. We can't wait to let them hangout with her again!”
“Took great care of my dog. Was finding a sitter last minute and she was able to take my pup in thankfully. Would sent photos of my pup to make sure he was doing good and he seemed pretty. Would book again”
“Tatiana was great with Herschel. She was very thorough asking about his routines and likes/dislikes. She sent frequent updates and I think Herschel had a great time! I know he can be a handful so I appreciate her patience.”
“Emily was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of Charlotte while we were away, and even helped correct her leash pulling—which was such a pleasant surprise! Charlotte clearly had the best time, especially playing with Maple, Emily’s sweet dog. It’s clear Emily truly cares about the dogs she watches, and she treated Charlotte like her own. We came home to a happy, well-exercised pup, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a loving and attentive sitter!”
“Nick and Cora were great with our chow chow. They took him for many walks and kept him company. They were great for me too, sending many pictures and texts to let me know how he was doing. Six stars!”
“Elaine was an incredible sitter! She and her husband really know what they’re doing as they usually have a full house of dogs! My pup had so much fun playing in the yard with the other dogs, and Elaine sent me tons of picture updates!! Would use again in a heartbeat.”
“Christy and her family were so great and welcoming to our pup. He was loved, well cared for, and so happy when we picked him up that we knew he was in the perfect place. We feel lucky to have found Christy’s home and have no doubt we will use her again.”
“John always takes the best care of Piper. Unfortunately my flights were delayed during both of my stays and on both occasions John was super accommodating and flexible. Will continue to book with him in the future!”
“Finny had such a great time with Sherry! He came home happy, tired, and honestly a little heartbroken to leave his new dog friends behind. 🐾 It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was being loved and cared for like part of the family. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”
“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dog with Xenia, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Xenia was incredibly thoughtful in accommodating my dog’s schedule, ensuring a smooth and stress-free stay. Her own dogs were very friendly and welcoming, making my dog feel right at home. I highly recommend Xenia for anyone looking for a caring and considerate dog sitter.”
“Alice has taken care of our dog several times now and it is clear that she loves him like one of her own dogs. Ours is a super playful pup and always has so much fun staying with her. Thank you Alice!”
“Angela is an amazing at caring for our skittish doggie, and she is even flexible enough to accommodate drop ins for our kitties! Can't rave enough about how good she is. She takes time to get our fur babies acclimated to things, is very patient, provides daily updates and even a "Pawgress Report" for us when the booking is complete! Simply awesome! 😃”
“Our dog had a good stay with Ronald while we were on vacation. Camo was well kept and we can tell he was very comfortable in the environment. We appreciated the days we received photos and he was always very responsive when we would reach out to check on our Camo.”

About: I have taken care of cats since I was a child with my mom. Always have been having 2 cats.. I have had a dog only for fostering for 2 months but I love them too. I feed cats, clean the litter box and check their condition and brush daily.
“"I can’t recommend Leiah enough! She is professional, down-to-earth, friendly, and an excellent communicator. From our meet and greet, it was clear she truly loves dogs and knows how to engage with them. She is punctual and provides great updates (and awesome photos!) which gives me total peace of mind while I’m away. If you're looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dog like her own, Leiah’s the needle in the haystack you are looking for!"”
About: Hi there! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. From a young age, I felt a special connection with them, and that passion eventually grew into a career dedicated to their health, safety, and well-being. I currently work remotely, full-time, for a nonprofit animal protection organization and have more than eight years of professional veterinary experience. I’ve worked in both a family-owned general practice and a specialty emergency animal hospital. As a companion animal owner myself, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. My goal is to make that experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your companion. Whether we’re going for a walk, enjoying playtime, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure your companion receives the attention, safety, structure, and affection they deserve. ❤️ Because I work remotely, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Outside of occasional errands, travel, or personal commitments, I am generally available for afternoon and evening drop-in visits throughout the week. I am also available for in-home pet sitting, which allows your companion animal(s) to remain in the environment where they feel most comfortable and secure. PLEASE NOTE, for in-home pet sitting that falls on weekdays (Mon–Fri): As mentioned above, I work remotely and will need WiFi access throughout the day while caring for your companion animal(s). To help protect your network security, I recommend providing me with a temporary or guest password. Whether you’re out of town overnight or away for a few weeks, I am available to provide house and pet sitting in the comfort of your home. I believe it’s often best for companion animals to remain in their familiar environment, where they can maintain their normal routines and feel safe, secure, and comfortable. While you’re away, I will provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to your pet’s individual needs. This includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, enrichment, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection. I understand that trusting someone with both your companion animal(s) and your home is a big decision. You can expect clear communication, reliability, and regular updates, including photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your companion is safe and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve only cat sat a mutual friend cat for a little over a year at this point but I’ve also worked in an animal shelter focusing with the kittens and feral cats! So I’ve dealt with cats with many different kinds of personalities and can assure you I can provide excellent care of you baby
“Zulaiha was generous, flexible, and thorough throughout our experience! We got to enjoy our vacation with peace of mind. I’m so grateful for their efforts and would book again!”
“Aileen always does a great job with our kitties! She also had to give our one kitty liquid medicine which we are so thankful for! You can count on her to look after your furry children!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since 2024 and have built my client base through word-of-mouth referrals and repeat bookings. I grew up with dogs and have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, tortoises, betta fish, shrimp, and chameleons. Most of my experience is with overnight stays ranging from weekend trips to 1–2 week vacations. I’m detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely while keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout their trip. As a powerlifter and active person, I’m comfortable with both short and long walks and can keep up with high-energy dogs. I work in-office during weekdays but am available mornings, evenings, overnights, and weekends. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while giving you peace of mind when you’re away.
“Jackie took great care of our cat. She shared many pictures with us, was thorough in following instructions, and wrote detailed updates. Will definitely have her back!”
“Ashley was able to take care of our 3 cats last minute. She was quick to respond and super nice. She made sure the cats had everything they needed for the weekend and sent updates with pictures. We’d definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve had many pets since I was a child, from cats to chinchillas! Cared for puppies to senior doggos and love them all the same. I own a boba cafe that doesn’t require me to be there from day to day so I have time to look after your fur children. Plenty of love and attention for those that need it. If yours likes to do its own thing that’s no problem as well but will still show love!
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals, including being a proud mom to two cats, one of which has three legs, and owning dogs throughout my life. I understand the unique needs of pets, and I provide attentive, loving care as if they were my own, ensuring each one feels safe and comfortable.
About: I have always been a dog person after watching the movie Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Ever since I was little we have always owned a dog, my god parents gave me a beautiful little shitzu but unfortunately we had to rehome him but years later I bought my own little maltese poodle. I have quite the experience with dogs because I’ve always been around them whether it’s my own, my family’s or friend’s. I currently only work 3 days out of the week as a receptionist in a chiropractor’s office so I have so much free time for your pups! I will spend time with your fur babies such as taking them on long walks, perhaps even teaching them a couple new tricks, cuddle with them and bathe them if you feel comfortable with that.
“Velvet is amazing! I rescued a pup off the streets yesterday and had an important appointment this morning. I booked Velvet late in the evening the night before, and she shifted her schedule to help me last minute and was wonderful with communication. Even more importantly, Velvet made this sweet rescue boy (again, fresh off the streets) feel calm, comfortable, and she even got him to snuggle with her! If she's this much of an dog whisperer with a fearful stray boy, I can only imagine the incredible care a beloved pet would receive. Thank you so incredibly much, Velvet! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you!”
About: Cats have my whole heart. I understand that most cats need time to warm up, and I never rush it. I’m calm, patient, and attuned to their cues — whether they want playtime, cuddles, or just someone quietly keeping them company. I’ve cared for both social butterflies and the more independent, “I’ll come to you when I’m ready” types. Your cat’s routine, comfort, and quirks will always be respected.
“We can’t say enough about Elaine! She was very responsive from the very beginning and stayed on top on things 100%. She sent us daily reports and gave us updates about Pickles mood, behavior, and health. Great communication haves us peace of mind. We have a 14 yo cat. Even though she doesn’t require medical care, it need to be feed in small chucks. Elaine got the portions just right for the cat to eat without getting sick. She was very patient with Pickles, looked for her, and play with her to keep her as happy as possible. We recommend Elaine 100%.”
About: I have 4 fur babies of my own. We have had them for 10 years. Their names are Roxy, Ronnie, Nina and Susie (who we rescued). I have taken care of many pets for friends and family over the years as they know we have a huge yard for them to play in. I have boarded dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, birds and including a guinea pig! I am a SPED teacher looking for a fun weekend job opportunity and what better way than taking care of sweet fur babies! I do not have children of my own so rest assured your pet will have my full and undivided attention! I have 4 very friendly dogs of my own who love to make new friends! I have a huge GATED yard where the dogs will be able to run around and play.
“Ms. Patty was awesome! She took such great care of our kitties while we were away. She kept us up to date with pictures, and text and was very detailed oriented. We will definitely use her again next time. Thank you, Ms. Patty!”

“B’ha was cared for while meeting new furry friends. I received (and adored) pictures of her walking and playing through all her stages of arrival, hesitation, acceptance and play. I recommend Alice as a loving doggy person.”
About: Experience with older dogs and their needs, sometimes they may need extra help, For example. When my families geriatric dog No longer could climb the stairs we would have to carry her. I learned about diet changes as she got older. Since I am retired, I have time to share and spend with your pet, Snacks, Walks and playtime. They will have my full attention daily. I create a safe, Clean and Caring environment, home away from home for your pet, With access to their water, food and toys I'll make sure they're comfortable with their bedding and or cage.
About: I was a dog owner for 15 years; she passed away about 3 years ago. Her beds are so big and comfy I didn't want to throw them away. I had proclaimed this to be a forever dog home! Since then, I began dog sitting for friends from my church. I knew if a dog came over, I would want it to be comfortable. I enjoy learning each dog's personality and needs because all dogs are different. My friend's dog doesn't like to be pet but loves to sit next to me. I learned that different dogs have different needs and wants. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs through walks, companionship, and learning each dog's unique personality and needs. Some dogs love affection while others prefer quiet company, and I respect and adjust to what makes each dog most comfortable. Dog sitting allows me to provide attentive, loving care while giving dogs a calm and supportive environment. I am working but I make my own schedule. I would take care of your baby just like my own, We would go for a walk at least twice a day. Ill feed once or twice a day, depending on instructions. My mom {Frances} lives right next door, and she is my emergency contact. She loves dogs too. She is a great help if I need to step out for a minute. I do enjoy seeing the dog happy and comfortable, the rest of the day will consist of making that happen. Your pet will get a one on one experience. I will care your pet just like I would do my own. Again, a home away from home. When I wake up in the morning the first thing I do is take my fur buddy outside. Next is breakfast and play time if it's preferred. I look for direction from the owner on specific things to know and look for to make my fur buddy comfortable. Safety is #1. Every decision is made with safety first in mind. Second is satisfaction for the pet and the owner.

“This baby sitter always comes through for me. Traveling for an extended trip. Dog being a baby and doesn’t WANT to stay home alone for 10 hours. Surgery. And my puppy, now a teenager in human years(?), is always very happy to GO BACK to stay with them again. Her being healthy and happy (plus photos of her day) is the REAL TEST!!!”
About: Trained Nurse & Professional Chef Ready to Pamper Your Pup! HI there! We are Andres and Sherry, and we can’t wait to welcome your dog into our home. Andres is a trained nurse with extensive experience caring for both humans and animals. He shares a unique, natural bond with dogs—he has yet to meet a pup that doesn't love him, and he finds true peace in their presence. Sherry is a professional chef who coordinates our daily routines. Every morning begins with a slow, relaxed breakfast, a neighborhood walk, and feeding. Because of Andres’s medical background, we are highly experienced and comfortable administering any necessary medications or supplements exactly on schedule.

We always keep the water bowls fresh with the right alkaline water for dogs PH level and adhere to your dog's specific feeding and med schedules. We highly encourage pet parents to bring along anything that will make your dog’s transition easier. This includes their favorite bed, crate, bowls, food, treats, toys, and any necessary medications. Over the years, we have found that sending a piece of your clothing that smells like you makes a huge difference—it helps them feel secure and miss you less. Packing these familiar items ensures a much smoother, stress-free stay at our home!

Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just keeping them company, your pet will get tons of love, attention, and patience while they’re with me.

“We are so grateful for Xenia and her family! Skye is a bit shy at first and Xenia & Co. gave him plenty of space and time to get comfortable. Skye looks forward to going to Xenia’s place to play with Ori and Lola all the time now! From all the photos & videos, it definitely looks like he thinks of Xenia’s place as his second home. 🤣”
“This was our first time booking Elaine, this will definitely not be the last time! Elaine sent beautiful professional pictures of our beautiful Poppy. We were at ease knowing she was well taken care of. I highly recommend Elaine to any doggy parents hesitant about leaving your pup for the very first time.”
“This was his very first time at an all-day daycare, and I was honestly pretty nervous leaving him. From the start, Shardae made everything feel so easy and reassuring. She sent thoughtful updates and photos throughout the day, and every single one showed a happy, relaxed pup who was clearly being cared for and loved. Seeing him playing and comfortable truly put my mind at ease. All I ever want is for my dog to feel safe, happy, and loved, and that is exactly what Shardae provided. Total success. I would absolutely trust her again and recommend her to anyone looking.”
“My puppy Ash came back happy and tired! Jane and Jimmy are very welcoming and nice, and I really appreciated the photo updates. Definitely will use them again!”
“Our fur baby Rosie loves visiting Beverly’s place! She gets to run around their large yard all day and play with her friends. Beverly makes sure all the dogs play well with each other. Highly recommend!”
“Great communication and can tell John and Miyabi took great care of our two pups during their daycare stay! Loved the photos/video update and feedback on how they did. Will plan an overnight soon to get them acclimated for boarding with you. Thanks again!”

“Kyle was SO beyond quick to reply on a last minute dog sitting request and we are so grateful he did. He was very responsive, sweet to Mr.Man and gave us updates as needed. Highly recommend! :)”
About: There is always someone home, so even if I'm out, your dog will always have someone around. We're naturals at communicating with animals, which helps when a dog is nervous & unsure. This includes verbal communication & body language. We have decades of experience with animals, given thousands of dog walks & find dogs to be very therapeutic. We have a yard for exercise & play. If your dog(s) don't get along with my pets, there's plenty of room to keep them separate. We often have other other dogs around, such as our new housemate's dog, and those of friends and family who hang out here. Your dog will be around other dogs, and will not be bored. We require meet and greets to make sure your dog will get along, not just with our dog(s) but with any others who might come in for daycare and play dates. Dogs are our life. We're always taking care of an animal in some way. In addition to exercising & boarding, we also handle vet visits. Our home is on a quiet cul de sac with lots of trees. We have a fenced yard, extra rooms, & a large vehicle for your pet's comfort.

About: I've had a lifelong love for animals, from being a devoted mom to two energetic huskies to caring for both dogs and cats throughout my life. I also have experience looking after senior and special needs animals, so I truly understand the unique needs of pets. I’m passionate about providing attentive, loving care to every pet as if they were my own. I make time for all pets and am here to help you with any needs. Animals are my passion and I look forward to meeting your sweet furry kids. When caring for pets in their home, I ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I offer personalized care based on each pet's needs, which includes regular walks to keep them active and healthy, interactive playtime to keep them engaged, and plenty of attention to make sure they feel secure. I also follow any specific instructions from the pet owner to maintain consistency and routine. Above all, safety is my top priority, and I always ensure pets are in a secure environment, whether I’m indoors or out, and that they have plenty of fresh water, food, and comfortable resting spaces.
About: I’ve been working with animals for over 25 years, including 10 years as a veterinary technician and as a behavioral dog trainer. As a former vet tech, I’m comfortable administering medications (oral, topical, injectable), monitoring special-needs pets, and caring for both senior dogs and tiny puppies who need a little extra attention. My background in animal behavior allows me to read a dog’s body language, support anxious or high-energy pups, and create a calm, positive experience on every walk. Whether your dog needs structure, gentle reinforcement, behavior training, or just a patient friend, I’m confident, capable, and committed to their safety and comfort. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m currently not working a traditional job, which gives me plenty of time to focus on walking, caring for, and spending quality time with your fur baby. My schedule is very flexible — mornings, afternoons, evenings, and last-minute bookings all work for me. I love being outdoors, staying active, and making every walk a positive, enriching experience for the dogs I care for. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize comfort, consistency, and following your routine exactly as you outline it. I’m a detail-oriented and caring individual, so whether your pet needs medication, a specific feeding schedule, gentle reassurance, or extra playtime, I make sure everything is done just the way you prefer. My goal is to keep your pet feeling safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.
About: My experiences with animals have ranged from puppies to horses growing up. And I have previously dog sat for family friends over the last few years. I’m currently enrolled in college online.

I like to keep a regular schedule for the pets, and I always make sure I’m there for the pet parents and their furry friends.

About: I have hands-on experience working in an animal shelter, where I cared for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable providing medication and giving extra attention to pets that require special care, including senior pets or those needing additional support. I also have pets of my own — a dog and a cat — so I understand the importance of patience, routine, and making sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always aim to provide dependable, attentive care. I am home for the summer, so I have full availability from June all the way to mid-August! Have a trip, weekend getaway, or last-minute date night? I will be happy to watch your furry friend :) I’m unable to host pets in my own home since I don’t have a yard, but I’m committed to providing attentive, reliable, and high-quality care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care while following your routines and instructions to keep them comfortable and happy.
About: I don’t have a lot of experience taking care of other peoples pets but I am a fast learner. I grew up on a farm and most of my experiences are of taking care of the animals on the farm. In recent years, I have walked my son’s dog, Mochi, twice a day. I truly enjoyed it because dogs have a special way of demonstrating universal love. The dog in my profile picture was Charle. He got us thru COVID and he transitioned at the age of 15. He was the only pet that I loved who had a place in my home. I am a school teacher off for the summer. My weekends are busy with volunteer services for my church. I am available Monday - Friday for the months of June, July and August. Presently, I am offering dog walking services only. When I meet your pet at your home, I will attempt to connect with your pet to make sure we trust each other before going out for the walk.
About: I’ve spent years caring for the cats and dogs of friends and family — handling feeding routines, daily walks, drop-ins, and keeping pets happy and comfortable when their people are away. I’m calm, attentive, and treat every animal like my own. Your pet will always feel safe, loved, and right at home with me. Pet care is a priority in my routine, not an afterthought. My schedule is flexible and mostly open, which means I can show up consistently and give your pet the time and attention they actually deserve! When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Your pet stays in their own space, surrounded by everything familiar — their smells, their favorite spots, their routine. I follow your lead on feeding, walking schedules, and any specific needs your pet has. I match my energy to theirs — calm and quiet when they need to decompress, playful and engaged when they’re ready for it. Your home stays tidy, your pet stays comfortable, and you stay informed the whole time!
About: I’ve had many pets since I was a child, from cats to chinchillas! Cared for puppies to senior doggos and love them all the same. I own a boba cafe that doesn’t require me to be there from day to day so I have time to look after your fur children. Plenty of love and attention for those that need it. If yours likes to do its own thing that’s no problem as well but will still show love!
“Patricia did a great job walking Patches and spent quality time with her. We felt at ease knowing our fur baby was well taken care off. We will definitely use her again! Five stars for you!????”
“After our longtime dog walker notified us that they were moving, my husband and I scrambled to find someone trustworthy and reliable to help walk our dog. We were apprehensive initially because she does have a physical disability, but decided to reach out to Aileen after hearing positive review from another neighbor. Aileen has been wonderful with our pup! She is kind, communicative, and gives great updates of our pup and we will continue to use her services.”
About: I have a deep love for animals and enjoy capturing their adorable moments through candid photos. Friends and family have trusted me for years to care for their pets, and have encouraged me to expand my clientele of pawfect fur parents. Whether you're simply busy or on vacation, I keep owners updated and ensure your pet(s) get plenty of love and exercise every day. I'm taking time to find the right fit in my professional career, which allows for a very flexible schedule. Meanwhile, I’d love to spend more time in screen-free environments and enjoy the nice weather outside. I provide pets with my complete attention, treating them with the same love and responsibility as my own. I follow owners' instructions precisely, ensuring their pet’s safety and maintaining the home’s condition. I always keep the water bowl full, make sure potty breaks happen on time, and ensure meals, medication, or treats are given as scheduled.
About: We personally have a working dog breed with endless energy. Our pup also deals with separation anxiety, so we understand how to provide support dogs who experience the same issues . With 10+ years of dog companionship experience, you can feel comfortable knowing your family member is in good hands. Your pup will always have company and supervision in our home. I work 4 days a week and my husband wfh full time. He does travel periodically. Please see availability on the calendar for the most accurate schedule. I understand deeply how important it is treat every dog specific to their required needs. Every dog will be treated like my own family member. Please provide any quirks your pup may have.

About: Hi! I’m Kadi, warm, patient, and genuinely love connecting with animals. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family (and keep you updated every step of the way), you’re in the right place. I’ve spent my entire life around animals, 36+ years growing up with cats, dogs, bunnies, hamsters, and fish, and later fostering kittens as an adult. I currently have a 14-year-old senior kitty, Bijou, who is my absolute love. I recently said goodbye to another beloved senior cat, so I deeply understand how much love, attention, and thoughtful care pets need, especially as they get older. Because I’m not in a place to bring another pet into my home full-time, pet sitting allows me to do what I love most: care for animals while supporting other pet parents. I specialize in in-home visits, so your pet can stay comfortable in their own space and routine. I’m experienced with: -Senior pets and their unique needs -Administering medications (including injections and transdermal gels) -Kittens and multi-pet households -Shy or slower-to-warm animals My approach is calm, intuitive, and respectful. I let pets come to me at their own pace and always prefer to meet with you and your pet beforehand so we can build trust together. You can expect: -Thoughtful, attentive care tailored to your pet -Clear communication -Lots of photo and video updates (because as a pet parent, this is the thing I appreciate the most when I’m away from my girl!) -I’m organized, reliable, and able to juggle a lot, so you can feel confident your pet and your home are in good hands. I’d love to meet you and your pet 🤍 I’m currently building my own business from home and have a lot of flexibility during the day and evenings to take care of your pets! I am happy to come to your home to check in on your pets, go for walks, and or feed and play with them! Whatever works best for your pet. At this time, I do not offer boarding them at my place.
About: I've been a dog owner for 15 years and have also fostered puppies and kittens in the past 2 years. I'm happy to take your furbabies on walks, encourage them to socialize, and help reinforce training, if desired. I'm usually available for boarding on most days and weekends upon reasonable notice. I currently work a flexible hybrid schedule, which would allow me to work from home during the week on a need basis, just let me know ahead of time. We currently have an 8 month old pup at home. She’s well socialized, up to date on her shots, and lovesss to have guests over. I will treat your fur baby with the same care and attention I treat our Momo. I like to stick to meal schedules, dedicated play time, and routine walks to ensure a healthy diet and plenty of exercise time!
“I have been meaning to leave a review for Allen as he’s been our regular dog walker for a while. Allen has been very caring with our two dogs, including one somewhat hostile chihuahua and one elderly chihuahua who is blind and suffering from cognitive decline. He’s been so flexible and understanding with our elderly dog’s evolving care needs and is always so communicative.”
About: I am a loving and caring dog person who enjoys spending time with dogs of all ages and sizes. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and they always seem to feel comfortable and happy around me. I welcome every new dog with patience, kindness, and a calm presence. I have three dogs of my own, and caring for them has taught me how to understand different dog personalities and needs. I make time to play with them, keep them active, and make sure they feel safe and loved. I enjoy long walks and I can keep up with dogs who walk fast. It is great exercise for both of us and a wonderful way to enjoy the outdoors. I recently moved into a new apartment and started a new job, and I hope that dog walking will help me earn a little extra while doing something I truly enjoy. I miss my dogs when I am away from them, so meeting new dogs or walking the same dog each week sounds like a lot of fun to me. Your dog will always be treated with care, attention, and respect. I look forward to spending time with your pup and making each walk a positive and happy experience. Pet care is part of my daily routine: feeding, walking, and playing with pets morning and evening, plus taking them to dog parks in the mornings when the weather is nice I care for pets by feeding, walking, playing with them daily, and ensuring they’re comfortable and safe at home or my client’s home. I also make sure to watch them and never leave them unattended
About: I've had pets all of my life and have a true love for all animals. I believe they all have personalities just like us, and deserve to be treated like the kings or queens that they are. I've taken care of dogs, birds and fish for my family and neighbors. I also have experience training puppies how to do simple tricks like sit, stay, shake hands and jump on command. I love dog walking because I am a very active person and I can share my energy with active doggies that need a breath of fresh air. Book me if you have a dog that LOVES walks and needs to release their energy from being in the house. I am an independent musician so I have a lot of free time for morning, afternoon and evening walks. I have a very patient demeanor and understanding of accommodations. Depending on the pet and their physical capabilities, I include feeding followed with play time, pets and lots of walks for your doggo. I can also administer medication with proper instruction.
About: Most of my pets have been dogs and some of them have been older than a year or two months old, currently open to learn more. Currently looking for a part-time and love dogs. I have been taking care of dogs since I was in elementary school and currently have one. I live in a small apartment and get to walk her around the city and usually walk her two times per day during the weekends
“Tiara showed up and on time and was flexible when we asked to move the walk in earlier! Thank you so much for coming and working through the challenges of the walking a dog for the first time! Definitely would hire again for another walk”

“Would recommend Annie a million times over!!! We have separation anxious dog that has her quirks, but with Annie there were no whining or crying. Lots of update with pictures were the best to see, and eased our own stress lol Annie seriously went above and beyond our expectations! We could RELAX on our vacation and know Jane was also having a great time being loved!”
“Took great care of my dog. Was finding a sitter last minute and she was able to take my pup in thankfully. Would sent photos of my pup to make sure he was doing good and he seemed pretty. Would book again”
“Emily was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of Charlotte while we were away, and even helped correct her leash pulling—which was such a pleasant surprise! Charlotte clearly had the best time, especially playing with Maple, Emily’s sweet dog. It’s clear Emily truly cares about the dogs she watches, and she treated Charlotte like her own. We came home to a happy, well-exercised pup, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a loving and attentive sitter!”
“Elaine was an incredible sitter! She and her husband really know what they’re doing as they usually have a full house of dogs! My pup had so much fun playing in the yard with the other dogs, and Elaine sent me tons of picture updates!! Would use again in a heartbeat.”
“Christy and her family were so great and welcoming to our pup. He was loved, well cared for, and so happy when we picked him up that we knew he was in the perfect place. We feel lucky to have found Christy’s home and have no doubt we will use her again.”
“John always takes the best care of Piper. Unfortunately my flights were delayed during both of my stays and on both occasions John was super accommodating and flexible. Will continue to book with him in the future!”
“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dog with Xenia, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Xenia was incredibly thoughtful in accommodating my dog’s schedule, ensuring a smooth and stress-free stay. Her own dogs were very friendly and welcoming, making my dog feel right at home. I highly recommend Xenia for anyone looking for a caring and considerate dog sitter.”
“Our dog had a good stay with Ronald while we were on vacation. Camo was well kept and we can tell he was very comfortable in the environment. We appreciated the days we received photos and he was always very responsive when we would reach out to check on our Camo.”
“Artem was incredible! Our other Rover sitter fell through at the last minute, and he willingly took in our pup that same day, so we could catch our flight on time! He was very responsive, and it was clear that he kept a safe and structured environment for the dogs. I would highly recommend him and will definitely call on him the next time we need our dog boarded. Thank you again, Artem!”
“It's hard to know where to begin. Tyler and Patricia are so amazing! They took such GREAT care of our 9 year old Emma - they were so attentive, kind, and conscientious with her. Emma was immediately comfortable with both Tyler and Patricia. They are dog people to the max! They are great communicators - they gave us great updates and photos daily. They will customize the amount of updates you'd like to receive and they were definitely on point for us. When I picked Emma up today, she was happy to see me, but she was like, 'ahhh, good to see you, but I wouldn't mind staying a while longer!" She was more comfortable staying with Tyler and Patricia than she's ever been staying with anyone else before. They made her feel a part of their family! We are so GRATEFUL we found Tyler and Patricia and I know Emma is as well. It's so comforting to find people like these two to take care of a member of the family who means so much to you.”
About: I’ve been officially pet sitting consistently since 2024 and have built my client base through word-of-mouth referrals and repeat bookings. I grew up with dogs but through petsitting, have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, tortoises, betta fish, shrimp, and chameleons. Most of my experience is with overnight stays ranging from weekend trips to 1–2 week vacations. I’m detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely while keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout their trip. As a powerlifter and active person, I’m comfortable with both short and long walks and can keep up with high-energy & strong dogs. I work in-office during weekdays but am available mornings, evenings, overnights, and am fully flexible on weekends. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. I work in an office Monday through Friday, so I'm most flexible on weekends. For pets that are comfortable being home during the workday, I'm available for feeding, bathroom, and walks before work, in the evenings, overnight, and throughout the weekend. I am detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m flexible to either board your pet in my home, stay at your home whether for drop in visits or overnight stays, whatever you and your pet feel works best for their comfort. Prior to the stay, (my home or yours), we will go over your pet’s routine and your expectations to make sure this is a good fit before moving forward.
“Wyatt went above and beyond to ensure our pup had a pleasant experience. We are beyond grateful to have found him and will book him next time we need overnight boarding.”
“If your dogs are your children like mine are, you definitely want someone like Alexandra to watch over them. I was able to leave Leo in her care for almost 3 weeks and I never once worried that he wasn’t getting the best love and care possible. In other words, I was able to enjoy my vacation! Alexandra is great!”
“Snow I’ve had Bella in my family, if she needed to be boarded over night, I left her with Jon and his family. Recently moved to Denver and would immediately refer my friends and mainly with pets to Jon. Bella always came home happy and tired out from playing with other dogs at Jon’s house. We’ll definitely call Jon if we swing by LA in the future!”
“It was my first time using Rover and having my dogs stay at another persons home. I was definitely worried about how Nala and Autumn would be, but Bethany took great care of them. She sent me updates right away and sent pictures of them at the dog park, walking, playing fetch, relaxing. It made me happy to know they were in good hands and constantly had someone around with her daughters. Would highly recommend her!”
About: I’m a dog mom of 8 years, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Over the years I’ve helped family and friends with their pets—everything from energetic puppies and senior dogs to rabbits, cats, and even goats! I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just keeping them company, your pet will get tons of love, attention, and patience while they’re with me. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I work from home and have plenty of flexibility. I get regular breaks every two hours and a full hour for lunch, which gives me lots of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day. I also don’t go out much, so I’m home almost all day—meaning your pet will have constant company, attention, and a calm, comfortable environment. Your pet won’t ever feel lonely here! In my home, your pet will have plenty of comfort and space. I live in a spacious home with room for your pet to settle in and feel relaxed. I also have a friendly dog who loves company and gets along well with other pets. You’re welcome to bring any of your pet’s personal items—beds, toys, or a crate—and I have plenty of room to set everything up exactly the way they’re used to. My goal is to make their stay feel safe, familiar, and stress-free.
“I can not say enough great things about Gina and her care for my Gigi. Breaking this down ; I was in desperate need of a doggy sitter for a last minute wedding trip out of town. I found Rover online and gave it a shot. I came across Gina's profile and saw all her raving reviews so I knew I had to try her out . I was looking for someone who would take care of my Gigi the way I would ,and someone who would truly give Gigi lots of love and attention. Gina was that person! She was communicative from the beginning , even adjusting her availability to make my schedule work . She was nothing short of excellent in communication and transparency. The moment I dropped off Gigi, Gina gave a warm welcome and Gigi was easily taken with her. Gina sent frequent updates on Gigi making me feel totally at ease being so far away. Every correspondence was immediately replied to - loved it. It was obvious that Gina was experienced in taking care of dogs . Also, I could tell from the pictures sent that Gigi was super happy and comfortable. I recommend anyone that uses Rover to book Gina , you're dog will be in loving hands!”
