“Our dog really enjoyed her time there. We received daily updates with pictures and videos from Rachel. Our dog came back happy and well-taken care of. We will definitely book Rachel and Preston's services next time we are in need of a dog-sitter!!”
“This was my pups first time with an extended stay so I was quite hesitant in using someone I had just met. MaryAnn and her family have a great set up at their dog friendly home. It was reassuring to see Brie was comfortable with MaryAnn from the start of the meet and greet up until the time I picked her up. Pick up and drop off was easily coordinated. I also received plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. MaryAnn clearly provided a safe and loving place for Brie to stay. I could not be happier with the care she received. Brie would gladly stay with MaryAnn again!!”
“Robert and Fatima are awesome and trustworthy people. First time I met them, I can already tell that I can trust them with my dog and that they are real dog lovers. Throught my dog’s stay, Robert gave consistent updates and was able to see that my dog was happy. Will definitely book with them again.”
“Milo stayed with Basilio for more than a week and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trusted dog boarding and sitter. He communicates well and gives update to us about our dog. Milo had a little anxiety issue and he was prompt enough to help him get through it. We would definitely look for him again in the future. Thank you for making Milo feel at home and well taken care of.”
“Snowy had his first overnight stay with Laura and Brian, and they made the entire experience so easy and stress free. He had so much fun during his stay, and it was clear he felt comfortable and well cared for. Laura and Brian kept me updated with plenty of photos and maintained excellent communication throughout, which made me feel completely at ease. When I picked him up, he even seemed a little sad to leave. that says it all! I’m so grateful for the care and attention they gave him, and I would absolutely trust Laura and Brian with Snowy again.🤍”
“My senior dog was really well taken care of by Alexis and Melisa. I loved that they sent me photos several times a day and kept us updated with meals and daily activities.”
“Lizet was wonderful with bear. She gives you updates and photos/ videos on your pet which it really appreciative of. She treats your pets like they were her own. Bear felt comfortable with lizet and you can tell she enjoyed her stay with lizet. Bear found her forever sitter and new friends 😁💙”
“Maria took great care of my two dogs. She was incredibly patient and caring. Her two dogs are the most welcoming and friendliest dogs. Great communication, listened and understood my concerns/instructions. I would highly recommend and will be booking again in the future.”
“Skylar was amazing at sending photos and updating us on our Peaches. This was the first time I used Rover and first time Peaches stayed with someone who wasn’t family. Thank you, Skylar!”
“Excellent first booking with Kevin! Our pup was well loved and photos sent during our travels were much appreciated. Our dog came home very happy and exhausted from his fun stay. Communication with Kevin was very responsive and he runs a super reliable boarder! Thank you so much, Kevin! We look forward to booking with you soon!”
“I was looking for a pet sitter last minute and Susana responded to my message even it was already late and decided to accept my booking. Kashi and Kaylie had a great time and she took good care of them very well. Thank you so much! I really appreciate you..”
“They took such great care of my Daisy girl and sent lots of pictures every day! You can tell they truly love dogs. Can’t wait to book with them again!”
“Kodi loves Brenda her family, and her dog Leeloo. He's always reluctant to leave them. She's so friendly, accommodating and welcoming. I highly recommend her boarding.”
“Candy has been wonderful at taking care of my dog Arlo. From the meet and greet, he was already comfortable in her home and the friendly, safe environment she created. She gave me updates on how he was doing and sent photos as well. I felt secure knowing he was doing well and was in good hands. I would definitely book another stay with Candy again.”
“Fantastic sitter! She was so caring and thoughtful, and she kept me updated with plenty of cute pictures. I always felt my dog was in great hands. I’d happily book with her again.”
“Absolutely loving & caring! Anhdao was so friendly from the beginning. We received daily updates with photos, and Dexter seemed very happy staying there. Kingston, their dog, seemed so friendly as well. It felt like Dexter had his own vacation! Will definitely recommend.”
“My dogs loved it there so much they didn't want to leave lmao. It was like a vacation for them! Also our little dog is usually noisy and a bit of a brat but apparently gave no trouble haha. Thank you Kat and Earl! Can I give 100 stars?!”

Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: The first family pet o ever took care of was a calico cat named Keisha,. She had already been a member of he family for over a year before I was born so I guess it’s fair to say she took care of me for the first decade. That's the only time I can remember us having just one cat in my childhood. You've had all kinds of breeds and both indoor and outdoor cats alike. I have yet to own or take care of a Maine Coon and I sure would like to one day. I've always seemed to be the one that can get the cat to come out from hiding when no one else can.
“Holly was nothing short of exceptional! Between the professionalism and genuine care, we could not have been more pleased with her help. Notes were thorough and photographs were generous ! All the goodies that help keep a fur parent at peace while away. Will happily rebook when needed. Thank you for your help !”
“It was lovely to meet Janelle. She was right on time for our meet and greet, stayed long enough to get all important information, asked good questions and was gentle and kind with my senior dog. I am sorry we were not able to work together this time but I do think Janelle would be a good sitter for someone else.”
About: For the past 5 years I've pet sat for family and friends, especially during the summer. Many have suggested I venture out to pet sit on the side because they love how I care for their pets. Pets are part of the family and I understand the importance of a trusting pet sitter. Your pets safety and well being will always be my priority! Hi pet parents! 🐾 To make sure I can give your fur babies the best care possible, here is a quick update on my current availability and my upcoming schedule: Current Work Days & Late-Night Walks On the days you see blocked off on my calendar, I am working my day job from 7:00 AM to 7:30 PM. Need a late-night walk? Please still reach out! I am happy to accommodate later evening walks or drop-ins on my work days once I wrap up. Upcoming Fall Schedule (Starting August 31) I will be starting my nursing school classes, which means my weekday availability will shift a bit: Mondays & Tuesdays: Unavailable 8:00 AM – 11:35 AM Thursdays & Fridays: Unavailable 6:30 AM – 2:55 PM Note: Outside of these specific class blocks, I am highly flexible! If you need care on these days, send me a message and we can easily work around my school hours. Looking forward to seeing your pups and kitties soon! 😊 My priority is the safety and well being of your pet! I thoroughly review all the information provided of your pet and communicate any questions I may have. I make an effort to know feeding schedules, potty preferences and activity schedules before meeting your pet. My goal is make sure your pet feels at home with zero disruption to their routine.
“Lisa was great as always! We highly recommend her services. She is very communicative and took such good care of our cats while we were away - came back home to two happy cats!”
“Hector was great with Wilson and followed my instructions! During our meet and greet, Wilson immediately knew Hector to be friendly so I knew I could trust him. We will definitely be rebooking!”
About: I had a boston terrier and doberman as pets. Though I don’t have professional experience in taking care of dogs, I love taking care of people and pets. I’m open to learning, observant, communicative. I’m a nurse who works 3 days a week, studying part time and I am seeking for tasks I can do during my free time. I currently do not have pets at home right now. I have more interest in walking pets and drop-in visits. I also have the patience and strength to wall bigger dogs as I had a doberman who was 1-2 yrs old.
About: Hi! I’m Alexis. I’ve been around cats my entire life and currently have 5 of my own, so I understand all the different personalities they can have—from super cuddly lap cats to the independent ones who act like they don’t care (but secretly do). I know how important it is for cats to feel safe and comfortable, especially when their owners are away. I always take my time with them and let them come to me on their own terms. Whether your cat wants playtime, treats, gentle attention, or just someone to sit nearby and keep them company, I’m happy to match their energy. I also have experience caring for cats with medical needs and giving medications when needed, so I’m comfortable following detailed instructions and routines if your cat requires a little extra care. My goal is simple: to make sure your cat feels calm, cared for, and stress-free while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’ll treat your cat like one of my own, with patience, love, and lots of respect for their space and personality.
About: I have nearly 20 years of hands-on experience owning and caring for cats at every stage of life, from energetic kittens to senior cats needing specialized attention. Because of my lifelong background, I understand that cats aren't just "low-maintenance pets"—they have unique personalities, boundaries, and care requirements that deserve dedicated attention. I'm completely comfortable giving all kinds of medications—whether it’s pills, liquids, inhalers, or injections—so your cat's health routine won't miss a beat. I’m great at reading cat body language. If they want to play and hang out, I aim for at least 60 minutes of active playtime a day using lasers, wand toys, or whatever they love most to keep them happy and entertained. if they’re shy and just want to sleep or be left alone, I totally respect their space and let them do their thing.
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for cats. My responsibilities have included feeding, grooming, administering medication, and providing plenty of playtime and affection. I'm comfortable with cats of all ages and temperaments, from playful kittens to shy seniors, and I'm adept at recognizing and responding to their individual needs.
About: Your cat will be wrapped in love every second they’re with me! 🐾🐱 I care for every kitty like they’re part of my own family—with gentle attention, cozy cuddle sessions (if they’re into that!), playtime, and all the love their heart can hold. 💕 With over 2 years of professional experience at a pet boarding facility and more than a decade of rescuing and raising animals, I’m confident caring for cats of all ages and personalities. At home, I’m a proud cat parent to a sassy feline who keeps me on my toes as well as three needy pups! so I understand the unique needs of our independent, quirky, and sometimes particular fur babies. Whether your cat is playful, shy, senior, or needs extra TLC, they’ll be in experienced, loving hands with me.💕
About: I understand pets aren’t just animals. They’re a part of us we often make family. So I will take care & love them as such🐾🐈⬛🙏. I have free time all week as of now. That’s no problem. I work from home at night/flexible schedule that I often choose for myself. I am looking forward more to dog walking. But I respect and follow rules. Everybody cares differently for their pets, so I make sure to follow what they ask me to, I love animals so it’s no problem.
About: I’ve had my own cat for three years and have cared for cats my whole life. I’m experienced in feeding, cleaning litter boxes, providing companionship, and giving pets attention and playtime. I enjoy making sure cats feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away.
About: I have been caring for pets (dogs and cats) since I was 5 years old as both a pet owner and sitter. I understand how difficult it can be to be away from your pet family members and will send regular pics and updates to keep you informed about your pet's well-being while you're away. I have always been passionate about researching and finding effective natural solutions to support pet health and am happy to recommend helpful approaches for your pets specific needs at your request. I also have lots of senior dog care experience, and am comfortable administering most meds that don't involve needles. My beloved senior dog with special needs (lost use of hind legs among other things) recently passed away and I miss him but am so thankful for the time we had. I learned a lot about using natural remedies to support senior dog health from him and also learned to walk him with support for his hind end. I am currently able to provide drop in visits for pets in the Mountain Glen I community in Sylmar at this time. If you live in this community and need help caring for your family pet, please reach out so we can arrange a time to meet. Happy to help with dogs, cats and possibly other kinds of pets. I can board too, but only for pets I know and have worked with previously. I always look for and implement practices that will create a safe, peaceful, healthy and nurturing environment for pets in my home and only board pets from the same home at the same time. Boarding and day-care are only available for pets I know and have worked with previously.
About: I’ve fostered all kinds of animals of all ages. I’ve bottled fed both puppies and kittens. I am a foster failure I’ve adopted my last 3 fosters. I love animals they’re the best companions. I am currently a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to care and play with your pets. I can board any day any time. I have a gated yard, and friendly dogs and cats who could keep your pet company. I can also crate your pet if that is your preference.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Sylmar
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I’ve had several dogs throughout my life and will probably be getting another one or two within the next year. My main option on here is dog boarding but, depending on the dog boarding schedule, I or somebody else on my team could also be open to do drop ins, house sitting, or walks, especially for those who have already used our boarding services. Please ask about these additional services after a confirmed boarding session. I’m in the middle of taking a few years off from teaching high school because A) Who couldn’t use a break from that? and B) I am focusing on building up a short-term rental business (Airbnb mostly). As an Airbnb host I spend a lot of time at home and have found that one of my favorite things to do is play with dogs in the yard (especially, when there’s more than one of them here at the same time!) and take them on trips to the park. I love dogs and am very reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I live in a house with a fenced yard and all of the instructions you leave will be followed to keep your little buddy happy & safe! I am home most of the day and when I do leave it's usually only for an hour or two at a time. Most of what I do at home (working on a computer, household chores, yard work) I do in the presence of whatever dogs happen to be staying at that time. One limitation that I do try to stick to is to avoid scheduling drop-offs or pickups on Sundays before 10:00 am. Unfortunately, Rover doesn't give me the option to block off those times without blocking out the entire day so adding this note here is the only way to give you a heads up (hopefully, you read this before booking). I have a fenced yard and usually board 2 or 3 dogs at a time so that they have playmates. If ever I leave the house, dogs are left inside. Dogs that stay here must be up to date on shots as well as on a flea-prevention medication.
“I was looking for a daycare option for my corgi to get used to bigger dogs again after a bad experience with a loose dog. Brasilio gladly did a meet and greet with us and brought his Husky to meet Tucker. He was very laid back with Tucker and very comfortable giving him a chance to get acclimated to his dog. Tucker responded very well so I felt like he’d be in good hands w/ Brasilio. He was also very accommodating when he needed to stay overnight when I had a schedule change and wanted to just pick him up the next day. Tucker has been doing MUCH better with new dog friends thanks to Brasilio!”
“What can I say about Mary Ann that hasn’t been said before? She is absolutely wonderful and really cares for your pet. I was anxious to leave my puppy but we did a meet and greet first and that went very well. The day of actual care, I was still anxious (but that’s me being overprotective) heard my baby bark and I almost turned around but then I heard Mary Ann talking to her and I didn’t hear her bark anymore. Mary Ann really loves pets. I received regular updates and pics to let me know how she was doing. My baby had a huge smile in each pic. Even when I picked her up you could tell she was happy to see me but kept wanting to go back to Mary Ann. ? I am definitely going to use Mary Ann again. Couldn’t ask for a better person.”
“Laura is a very sweet and experienced pet caretaker. She followed all the instructions I gave and sent frequent updates and pictures. I could tell the dogs were comfortable and happy with Laura and Brian :) Thank you!!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I highly recommend Savannah! She took great care of my Yorkie and treated him like he was her own. She was reliable, caring, and made sure he was comfortable and happy while I was away. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely use her services again!”
About: I’m a true dog lover and treat every dog like part of my family. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and ages, including senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I currently have Olive, my 4-year-old Boston Terrier, and Chewy, my 14-year-old Shih Tzu, so I understand both energetic playtime and gentle senior care. My home is calm, safe, and full of love, and I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust. I provide personalized attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and photo updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Your dog will be treated like one of my own from the moment they arrive. I have a very flexible schedule and can provide lots of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I have plenty of time for potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. Your dog will stay in a loving home with a secure backyard for supervised outdoor time and play. I have two dogs of my own, Olive, my energetic and playful Boston Terrier, and Chewy, a sweet senior Shih Tzu. Because Olive loves to play and has a high-energy personality, I prefer meet-and-greets beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable and a good fit.
“Maria and her daughter as so incredibly sweet, kind and supportive. It was my first visit & they made me feel very comfortable and gave me updates. Communication was great!”
“Lauren was a fantastic sitter! She took amazing care of my shy pup and sent pictures throughout the day. I could see that my dog really took to Lauren, and that put me at ease. I would definitely recommend Lauren!”
“Alexis & Melisa were absolutely wonderful pet sitters for our elderly, blind 17-year-old Shih Tzu. They administered her daily medication and made sure she was fed, all while providing daily updates that put our minds at ease. They treated her like their own, giving her their undivided attention since she was the only pet they were caring for. It is clear they genuinely love animals. We are so grateful for their dedicated and personalized care. We would highly recommend Alexis & Melissa for anyone seeking compassionate and dedicated pet care!”

“Greatly appreciate Brenda, she cares for my Coco on the weekends. She works with my hours which is great since my job is a bit hectic during these days. Coco loves being with her and that is something I’m very grateful for. Will continue bringing her 🙂”
“Bernadette took great care of Wensley. He seemed really content when I picked him up, and I appreciated her flexibility as far as drop off time. She's a great communicator and kept me posted with pictures. I will definitely be using Bernadette again for Wensley's future doggy daycare needs. Also, he loved the extra little doggy treats Bernadette had made. Such a great little surprise.”
“Llona was wonderful. She responded very quickly to my last minute request. My dog definitely perceives the vibe of people and as soon as he met her he happily ran into her home. She sent me photos of her boys playing with our dog...he loves children and you can see they are dog lovers too. She was in good communication while caring for our dog which of course made me feel comfortable...no worry on my part. Funny enough dropping your dog off to a stranger is like dropping your child off ...you want to know they are well cared for and that they feel safe and of course have fun. I would give it an A+ day for his first visit with Llona. And we will def use her again and recommend her!”
“My pup is always happy and tired when she comes home from Lillybeth’s home! I am always comfortable knowing that my girl is being taken care of and loved. Will continue to trust Lillybeth with my dog!”
“Amazing sitter!! Shaun and her family are super sweet and everytime I’ve left Roux with them they treat him as their own! They send updates, pictures and videos throughout the day which I truly enjoy! We’ve used them twice already and will continue to use their services!!”
“She was lovely and very understanding. My dog usually has a hard time playing with other dogs or even going with other people but she had no problem and Mason looked happy.”
“Natalie and Jennifer are the BEST sitters ever! Our doggo always comes home well cared for and tired from playing with all her best friends. Natalie is flexible and is able to accommodate our often last minute schedule which is a huge plus in addition to the amazing care she gives the dogs.”
“Another awesome stay for Chili! Updates throughout the day were great and they even found a toy for Chili that she couldn't destroy! Chili is already looking to schedule her next stay. Thanks again guys!”
“Amazing! Kindness, warmth and complete kindness and super consideration! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’m so grateful. I’m a worried mom, as are others, but I was reassured and greatly respected. My puppy was so loved and cared for! I couldn’t ask for more. 100% recommendation.”

“Denise has been amazing with Stella and Milo. They have lots of energy and she has been great to adapt to their own unique personalities. Stella is 9 1/2yo and started limping one night and she let me know right away sending me videos and pictures. She always sends great updates and pictures which makes my shifts so much better!”

I take extra precautions being in the client's home, as I dont want anything to happen to any of their stuff or their furbaby.
“Janelle was SO patient and sweet with our Moo! She was always punctual on time and we loved the photo updates she would take on the walks! This was our first time using Rover, and I am so happy Moo was in such great hands with Janelle. Will definitely be reaching out to her again!!”
“My dogs love him and even get excited waiting for their walk. Very good at communicating at availability and works great with my 2 100+lb dogs. Also takes great pictures of my dogs”
About: I’m kind and patient with pets. I understand that they are not the same but do require the same type of care and love. I enjoy playing with them and giving them belly rubs and taking them for walks. I’m currently on summer breaks and would like to spend time caring for pets when their loved ones are away. It may be difficult on some families due to their schedule so I would like to make it easier on them. They way I would care for my clients pet at their home. I will check on them first and then see if they have water in their bowl. Will see if they require feeding. Lastly I will follow the instructions left my client. If they need a walk or play with them and keep them company.
About: Currently have a Terrier Mix doggy of my own. I use to have a Pitbull Mix but he passed away few years ago. I have experienced with senior dogs and can administer oral medications. My availability is very flexible on the weekends, whether it’s mornings, afternoon, or evenings. I can do check-in/ drop-in visits or pet sit for you at your convenience. Please let me know your pet’s feeding, walking, potty routine to accommodate their needs. I can provide you with photos throughout the day or evening! :)
About: I have cared for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. I was taught that the animals eat first because they can’t speak. I enjoy spending time with animals. They are great company I believe petting an animal can lower your blood pressure. Your pets need extra affection while you’re gone. I’m there for that. I am a retired mom of self-sufficient teenagers. My flexible schedule allows me to do overnights and weekends and multi night care. I look forward to these jobs. I’m experienced with crating. I love some dog walking exercise. I also really enjoy spending time in a backyard as long as it’s fenced in and secure.
About: With over five years of dedicated experience, I've cared for a wide range of furry, feathered, and scaled friends, from energetic puppies and cuddly cats to exotic birds and reptiles. I'm passionate about providing personalized attention, ensuring every pet receives their favorite treats, plenty of playtime, and comfortable routines. Owners consistently praise my reliability and the genuine bond I form with their beloved companions, always leaving them with peace of mind. As I'm currently unemployed, I have complete flexibility to dedicate ample time to your beloved pets. I'm available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and overnight stays at any time, seven days a week. Your pet will receive undivided attention and consistent care throughout the day, with plenty of opportunities for play, exercise, and companionship. I can easily accommodate last-minute bookings and extended care periods. When caring for pets in their own homes, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routines and environment. This includes adhering strictly to feeding times, administering any necessary medications, and engaging in regular walks and play sessions tailored to their energy levels. My goal is to provide a secure and loving atmosphere that minimizes any stress associated with your absence, ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and well-cared for until your return.
About: Hi! My name is Alexis, and animals have always been one of the biggest joys in my life. I absolutely love dogs, cats, and animals of all kinds. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I currently have two dogs and five cats of my own, so I understand the love, attention, and commitment that pets need every day. If you know me, you know I’m the person who gets excited every time I see a dog on a walk or a cat lounging outside. I’m always the first one asking if I can pet a dog, and I never pass by a stray animal without trying to make sure it has food, water, or a little kindness. My love for animals is genuine, and spending time with them never feels like a job to me. Over the years, I’ve also helped care for my own pets when they’ve been sick. Whenever one of my cats or dogs needed medication, special care, or extra attention, I was usually the one making sure they got what they needed. Because of this, I’m comfortable following care instructions and being patient with pets who may need a little extra support. In addition to my experience with animals, I work in healthcare, which has taught me the importance of responsibility, attentiveness, and compassion. I understand how important it is to pay attention to details, follow routines, and provide quality care—skills that I bring with me when caring for pets as well. I’m often the go-to pet sitter for family and friends whenever they need someone reliable to care for their pets. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, medication administration, or simply keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! Pet care fits really naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work night shift, which means my days are usually free and very flexible. Because of that, I have plenty of time and availability to dedicate to walking, drop-ins, and spending quality time with pets during the day. I actually love that my schedule allows me to be fully present when I’m caring for animals—I’m not rushing between work or distracted by a 9–5 schedule. I can give pets my full attention, whether that means morning walks, midday visits, feeding routines, playtime, or just keeping them company and making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. My routine also makes it easy for me to be consistent and reliable with scheduling. I’m used to balancing responsibilities and working odd hours, so I’m very organized and good at sticking to care instructions and time-sensitive routines. Overall, my flexible daytime availability makes pet care a perfect fit for my lifestyle, and I really enjoy being able to spend that time doing something I genuinely love. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my main priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and as relaxed as possible while their owners are away. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can keep things consistent and familiar for them. I approach every visit with patience and calm energy, letting pets warm up to me at their own pace. Whether it’s feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, or just spending quiet time together, I make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. I’m also very detail-oriented when it comes to following instructions. If a pet has a specific feeding schedule, medication routine, or special care needs, I make sure everything is done exactly as requested. I have experience administering medications and caring for pets with extra medical needs, so I’m comfortable handling those responsibilities with care and reliability. While I’m in the home, I also make sure everything stays clean, respectful, and as you left it. My goal is not only to care for your pet, but to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands and your home is being respected. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own—always with love, patience, and attention to their unique personality.
About: I had a boston terrier and doberman as pets. Though I don’t have professional experience in taking care of dogs, I love taking care of people and pets. I’m open to learning, observant, communicative. I’m a nurse who works 3 days a week, studying part time and I am seeking for tasks I can do during my free time. I currently do not have pets at home right now. I have more interest in walking pets and drop-in visits. I also have the patience and strength to wall bigger dogs as I had a doberman who was 1-2 yrs old.
About: I understand pets aren’t just animals. They’re a part of us we often make family. So I will take care & love them as such🐾🐈⬛🙏. I have free time all week as of now. That’s no problem. I work from home at night/flexible schedule that I often choose for myself. I am looking forward more to dog walking. But I respect and follow rules. Everybody cares differently for their pets, so I make sure to follow what they ask me to, I love animals so it’s no problem.
About: I’m a true dog lover and treat every dog like part of my family. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and ages, including senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I currently have Olive, my 4-year-old Boston Terrier, and Chewy, my 14-year-old Shih Tzu, so I understand both energetic playtime and gentle senior care. My home is calm, safe, and full of love, and I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust. I provide personalized attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and photo updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Your dog will be treated like one of my own from the moment they arrive. I have a very flexible schedule and can provide lots of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I have plenty of time for potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. Your dog will stay in a loving home with a secure backyard for supervised outdoor time and play. I have two dogs of my own, Olive, my energetic and playful Boston Terrier, and Chewy, a sweet senior Shih Tzu. Because Olive loves to play and has a high-energy personality, I prefer meet-and-greets beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable and a good fit.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and started walking them when I was 10. Three years ago, I adopted my own cat, and I currently dog-sit my aunt’s dog regularly. I have experience feeding, walking, and providing companionship for pets, and I love spending time with animals to keep them happy and safe. I am available most days and can provide pet care anytime. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am in college part-time but am free after 4 PM. Other than that, I am available anytime and flexible with short notice requests. I care for pets in their own home by following the owner’s routine closely. I feed pets on schedule, walk dogs, clean litter boxes, and provide plenty of attention and playtime. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.
About: I’m an animal rights activist, a vegan, and an environmentalist, so I’m always fighting for the animals, wild or domestic! We had all sorts of animals while I was growing up, including cats and dogs. We started with cats and two beagles, and after the beagles' passing, we adopted the sweetest schnoodle (schnauzer-poodle) on the planet! Long story short, after my sister and I moved out, my parents ended up with two more dogs and trusted only one person (other than my sister) to look after all three dogs when they (my folks) would go on trips: me. We continued to have cats and other animals during that time. My parents are down to two dogs now, but that's been one of my jobs for the last several years, in addition to looking after friends' dogs. I've also volunteered at a couple of shelters as a cat socializer and cat/kitten foster parent. During that time, I completed a "Fear Free Shelter" course and understand the signs of distressed dogs and cats and how to reduce their stress (one spoiler: classical music for dogs). I’m also certified in canine and feline first aid/CPR. Anyway, I love doing drop-in visits and dog walking and am happy to offer my home as a daycare. I love seeing animals in the comfort of their own homes and letting dogs explore my backyard. I'm currently funemployed, so I have time to do drop-in visits, dog walking, and doggy daycare most days. Dogs staying with me for the day would have access to our fenced backyard. If you need only dog-walking or drop-in sittings, then I can usually start after 10a. For doggy daycare, I’ll be sure to provide the stability and boundaries your fur baby needs. Your dog is welcome on the couch during the day, and we have a heated and air conditioned home during the hot and cold months. If I'm in your home, such as for drop-in visits, I'll use Rover Cards to let you know when I arrive, document how things went while I was there (with photos), and let you know when I head out. It would also help me tremendously if you could provide written instructions on Rover ahead of time. My goal is to provide all of the comfort your honey needs while you’re away. (I've been that anxious pet guardian myself, so I get it!)
About: I’ll care for your dog like It’s my own. I’ll match their energy so that it can be a playful and/or relaxing time. Plus I am a really patient person, so it helps when I care for my dogs when its time to brush their fur, give them a bath, walk them or train them. I work a part-time job, so I can definitely be available for a few days out of the week. With a few days in advance notice it works out perfectly with me. I love caring for my 2 dogs and making sure their needs are met, and I can assure you I can provide the same attention to your furry friends.
“Anna did an amazing job with our senior dog. She sent daily pictures and updates and It was so nice not to have to worry about anything while we were away. Thanks so much, Anna! I will be in touch for when we go out of town next. Thanks for the sweet plant and card as well. You are the best!”
About: Over the years I have cared for my own pets as I always grew up with dogs. I have also pet and house sat on a number of occasions for friends and family members, and through word-of-mouth. I also enjoy gardening and caring for plants. I make sure to plan my day around your pet’s individual needs and schedule. I have a flexible schedule and make sure to prioritize your pets well-being. I make sure pets feel comfortable and loved while sticking to their usual routines. I follow any specific instructions from the owner, whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime. I keep an eye on their health and behavior, and if they need medication or special care, I handle it carefully. Above all, I aim to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel secure while their owners are away.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 7. I love to provide videos and pics updates throughout the day for peace of mind. If you have special requests, please let me know. I'm a full time student and I have plenty of the time to play with your pets. Sitting is my way to earn college tuition fee. Thanks for your support! I walk dogs out at least three times per day and they will be gated in the living room with plenty of toys, water and food to match your speciation.

“Snowy had his first overnight stay with Laura and Brian, and they made the entire experience so easy and stress free. He had so much fun during his stay, and it was clear he felt comfortable and well cared for. Laura and Brian kept me updated with plenty of photos and maintained excellent communication throughout, which made me feel completely at ease. When I picked him up, he even seemed a little sad to leave. that says it all! I’m so grateful for the care and attention they gave him, and I would absolutely trust Laura and Brian with Snowy again.🤍”
