“Nick and his wife were excellent with my pups. We had a meet and greet, and my dogs instantly fell in love with them. They sent updates and took really good care of them. I will highly recommend them. Thanks so much!”
“Great host for our dog!! Very good communication with frequent updates and even pictures and videos. We know he had a good time. We would book with Tatiana again.”
“Ivette was vey welcoming and kind to my little Charly. She had no issues tending to Charly meal routine aswell as his exercise needs. Charly was very happy when picking him up, which is always a very good sign that he had a good stay. Thank you and would 10/10 recommend to everyone”
“AArmando was excellent and communicated effectively. He shared numerous photos of my little Leilani, which reassured me that she was enjoying herself while playing with their dog. I will certainly book again.”
“Ashley was amazing. My dog, Nipsey, had a great time at her house. After the initial meet and greet, my worries all left as I could tell she would be the perfect person for the job. She was super attentive and followed all directions. She provided medications as needed but most importantly she gave him tons of love. I highly recommend Ashley if you're looking for a trustworthy person with a great heart and love for animals.”
“Arriyanna was exceptional with my Granddog, Prince. She weened him off some crap food my son was feeding him and helped him transition to better, much healthy food I brought to her. She bathed him, nurtured him and showed him love. She gave me regular updates and sent photos. I wish she could adopt him, I think she would provide him the much needed attention he deserves. I would recommend her to anyone for their dog. She was so good with him!”
“Katie is the best!!! She would send me updates about my girls and pictures daily. She really put my mind at ease while caring for my dogs. This was my first time booking with Katie and I am most definitely re-booking her!!! I highly recommend her. I’m giving her 10 stars forget the 5 stars max on rover!!!!”
“Murphy had so much fun staying over with Alex and Fred! We could tell she was very comfortable with Alex and that she’d be in great hands right after our meet and greet. Fred also has a great temperament and was such a sweet buddy for Murph! Alex was communicative, flexible, and very trustworthy. We’re looking forward to having Murphy stay with them again!”
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Nibbles! She watched her for 9 days in her home, and I’m so happy we found her. Drop-off and pick-up were super easy, and Shannon was very thorough about asking questions beforehand so she could make sure Nibbles was comfortable and knew her routine and preferences. She took such great care of her and made sure she was happy, well-fed, comfortable, and got lots of love and attention. I could tell Nibbles was in really good hands, as I received consistent updates/pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Shannon is such a sweetheart, and I’m extremely happy with the care she gave Nibbles. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Excellent! I have an older dog, very hard of hearing and doesn't see well. He also can't hold his bladder for more than four hours, and can sometimes get confused. Jenny was so good with him! Not everyone can take on the added responsibilities of an elderly pet, including cleaning up after accidents. I am so grateful for her understanding and patience.”
“Isao & Rezairyl made me feel very comfortable while my Gigi was with them. They send photos and updates daily. Gigi is a senior dog and since they also have seniors, they knew exactly what kind of environment she needed to be in and knew exactly how to take care of her. Gigi also got an upset stomach on the first day of drop off, and they reassured me that she was ok and knew exactly how to help fix that problem. I would recommend them to anyone and would definitely book with them again.”
“Chris was absolutely wonderful! He took exceptional care of Kai, going above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable and happy. His professionalism and attention to detail were evident from the start, and I truly appreciated the frequent updates and numerous photos he provided. It gave me so much peace of mind while traveling, knowing Kai was in such great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking Chris again!”
About: I had a dog for over 10 years and after he sadly passed away, I realized that I still had a lot of love to give! I’m currently a stay at home mom who absolutely adores pets, so my schedule is completely up to what your pet needs and what their schedule is! I live in an upstairs apartment that has lots of space for play time but also has cozy spots for nap time! The apartment has a secured front balcony that can be blocked off at request.
“Laura, amazing. I trust her with my dogs as myself. She is a very caring sweet person. My 2 dogs have stayed at her house multiple times. Every morning we received updates and beautiful pictures of our dogs. Last time I forgot to bring a snack for my dogs while my dogs stayed at Laura's house for a week and she was very kind in buying my dogs a snack at no extra charge for me. I know it's a small thing, but it just shows what a nice person she is.”
“Qing always gave updates throughout the day, helping me feel peace of mind that Twix was taken care of. My dog is currently undergoing medication regimens for cancer, so I’m always nervous leaving her. But Qing made sure I knew she was getting her meds and food throughout the day. I’m very grateful! ☺️”
“Ashley had a wonderful time with Monika and her family. She was well taken cared. She was very welcomed. Monika gave us the updates/pics/vids we needed. We’ll definitely have Monika and family again. Thank you so much Monika.”
“My first time using this app, She is the best I could not have chosen a better option, very professional lot of patience with dogs and she sent a lot of great pictures of my puppy.Definitely I would choose her again And again and again.”
“I’m so grateful that Maria was able to take our dog even though I sent the request at the very last minute. Hiz was so happy to see her and even put his paws on her when they met — something he rarely does! I received wonderful photos from the park where the dogs were having a great time together. It’s such a relief to find someone you can always trust to take care of your furry family member. 🐾”
“Lauren and her husband were amazing with my 2 dogs! They asked a lot of questions at the meet and greet which shows they really care and take their job seriously. They sent pictures and updates every day. They have plenty of space for the dogs to play and run around. I will definitely contact them again.”

We received wonderful daily updates and pictures that showed our cat was completely relaxed and happy. It gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our home was left completely clean and tidy, and our fur baby was perfectly cared for. We will absolutely be booking Ivy again and highly recommend her services to any pet parent!”

I focus on calm, stress free walks in suburban and beachside South Bay areas so your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. My primary profession is legal videography, which means my schedule can vary week to week and isn’t a fixed 9–5. Because of this, I maintain flexible availability and communicate clearly in advance about openings. When I’m available, I’m fully present and committed to providing reliable, focused care. I provide calm, attentive care in your pet’s familiar home environment, following all instructions carefully to maintain routine and comfort. I prioritize safety during walks, remain mindful of surroundings, and treat every home with professionalism and respect
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was basically a kid, and yes — your dog will become obsessed with me. I’m reliable, patient, and great with pets who need extra attention, belly rubs, or a hype-woman on walks. I’m a full-time student, but my fall semester is ending, so I’ll have plenty of time for your pets. I’m available most days for walks or drop-ins. I only do in-home care, so your pet gets to stay in their own comfy space. I’m hypervigilant, gentle, and big on routines—I keep doors secure, follow instructions, and treat your home and pet with respect.

Neighbors, friends, and family trust me to feed, deep clean litter boxes, give medications, play, and provide lots of cuddles. As a cat owner myself , l understand cats need a calm, safe, and clean environment. I stick to their routine, keep their space spotless, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. You'll get daily photo and video updates so you know your kitty is happy and safe.
“Vanessa O is our cats' varorite sitter. We have hsed her several times, and trust her completely. In addition to the usual cat duties (food, water, meds, litter, etc) she takes the time to play with them, and they look forward to her visits.”
About: I’ve had dogs mainly growing up and have now been a dog dad for almost 3 years. Love my little guy and know how much fury friends mean to their parents. I’m also very weary of who I trust with my little guy so ask any and all questions you need to to feel at ease 😊 Im in the military as an instructor so my schedule changes from class to class but I generally know two weeks in advance if I’ll be available. I’m available for drop in visits and walks. I have a big yard and a little bull terrier named scrappy who is very friendly but you don’t have to worry about anything happening to your dog because I am doing in home drop ins and walks. In an emergency I am willing to help someone out though, just let me know what you need.
“Roselyn did a great job taking care of my kitten. She followed all instructions well and provided detailed check in notes with pictures. My kitten really likes her as he played with her during both check ins. She also played with him and made sure he had enough food and water before leaving.”
“We are lucky to have Donny as our go-to cat sitter! He has consistently gone above and beyond in caring for our cats, and we couldn't recommend him more highly. When one of our cats was unwell and needed complicated medical care (pills, ear drops, isolation from other animals - you name it), Donny handled everything with ease and professionalism, which was so reassuring. I would recommend him 100 times over if your pet has medical or other special needs. He’s incredibly easy to work with and our cats love him! He’s even managed to teach (one of) them tricks - it’s clear he has a special gift for connecting with animals. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like their own, Donny is the person you want.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was old enough to know how. For the past 25 years, I am the person who everyone calls first when they need their pet cared for when they get busy! I am also great with details and specific instructions.
“Perla is the best. It’s hard to leave my fur babies when I travel but knowing I have someone that takes such good care of them, makes me feel less guilty about leaving them.”
“Elaine is fantastic! She has sit our cat Pickles in four different occasions so far and we are very happy with the service. She is proactive and very responsive. Pickles is older and her food has to be portioned. Elaine figured out the portions quickly and our cat has never had a problem with it. Elaine is in tune with animals 100% 🤩”
“Heather took great care of Esme over the course of nearly 2 weeks while we were on vacation. Highly communicative, very attentive to her needs, it was a pleasure having her take care. Will definitely be booking Heather again!”
“Shardea did an excellent job with my 15 year old kitty Marilyn. Marilyn needed medication 2x a day. With being older and diagnosed with intestinal Lymphoma, I was concerned she wouldn’t do well. However, Shardea was so loving and caring. She is a cat whisperer. Marilyn quickly warmed up to Shardea. She ate well the entire time. Shardea met my niece at the airport. I picked Marilyn up and my niece and drove 3 hours. After staying with Shardea almost 3 weeks, a 5 hour flight, and 3 hour drive. Marilyn is now happy and content. Absolutely 0 decline in her health!”
“She did a wonderful job making sure my cats were comfortable, happy, and fed every day while I was away for a week. She communicated well and was attentive to all the needs of my special-needs cat and my kittens. I felt confident knowing they were in caring and capable hands!”
About: I’ve watched over many people’s cats along with my own cats at home for years. I enjoy their company and respect their needs. I would be thrilled to watch over your cat, and make it a safe space for them. I have plenty of experiences with different personalities of cats, such as calm cats, energetic, cats who may need some time to warm up to you, and those that are playful right away. However your cat may be like, I’ll be happy to get to know them! :)

Perfect for high energy dogs - Wilmington
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 always had dogs growing up and Since I was 15 I would dog sit friends and families pets when they wanted to travel or had to work. Some pets I had to also give medication to them. My schedule can vary so I may be able to get you scheduled in so I can take care of your puppy dogs. Would like an extra income please message me see if our schedules work out.. I live in a house with a fence all around and gate in the front so your puppy will have plenty of space to run around my house or go outside for a potty break or get to run around the yard.. I can also easily crate them with a fence inside my house. I do have 2 pups of my own so they can play around if possible.
“Thank you so much! She is BEST sitter for us. She sent many photos for us. So We could know how our fur baby were doing. My dog had a very relaxing stay and is very good condition the next day. We'll definitely request again next time.”
“Hi there, Pearl did a good job w our spoiled one , she is very patient and took her time! thank you so much Pearl for taking care of our Zoe, next time again pls. , Aurora /Erik”
“Elaine offered the perfect dog day care for our boy! She sent photos throughout the day of Loki meeting and playing with new friends, meal time and rest time. She sent a report card at the end of the day so we knew how the day was for him. We will definitely bring him again for those long days when we aren’t able to be home with him!”
“Armando was so awesome! Accepted our day care request last minute. A truly kind and caring person and dog lover. Was out and about with our high energy dog all day long and sent us tons of updates. She got so worn out she’s still sleeping a day later. Highly highly recommend!”
“Hiromi was the best sitter we could have chosen for our young 3 month old puppy! She gave updates/pictures as often as I wanted to make me feel comfortable. She is extremely nice and our pup was so happy to spend time with her. We booked her for two days in a row- when we dropped him off the second day, he remembered her and was excited! We will definitely take Luke again to Hiromi- she is our #1.”
“We had a fantastic experience leaving our pup with Lauren and her husband for daycare. From the start, they were thorough in explaining how they safely and calmly introduce new dogs into their home. They kept us updated with regular photos throughout both days, so we always knew Comet was having a great time. They even sent Comet home on the last day with a couple of adorable Polaroid photos! We highly recommend them!”
About: My dogs are my life, and I want to ensure your dogs are well taken care of while you’re away. I have experience taking care of multiple dogs, from puppies to senior dogs, and dogs with timely medications. I had my first dog at 9 years old for 15 amazing years. My second dog, I’ve had since she was a puppy and has crossed the rainbow at 16 years old. She was also on specific timed medication for the last 3 years. I also take care of my brothers 2 dogs. I am currently unemployed, and I’ve been working on freelance work projects from home. I have plenty of time to care for dog and I am flexible with time. I have a fenced backyard your dog can spend time in. I also have a small fenced area in my home they can stay in comfortably, and separately from the other dogs. All preferences can be catered to your pet such as if you want your dogs away from other pets or if you would like them outdoors more that inside, etc.
“Marco had a wonderful day! I really appreciated all the updates and photos throughout his stay. It was great seeing that he got a nice walk and lots of attention. He came home happy and relaxed, which is always the best sign. Thank you for taking such good care of him — I would definitely book again!”
About: Hi! I'm a dog lover of all sizes. I'll run with your dog, teach them tricks (taught our former dog how to use the clicker and various commands), throw the ball with them, take them on walks and feed them. I'm located in PV by the PV reservoir so I'm always out and about in the neighborhood on runs, etc. I grew up with a Scottish Terrier and have watched German Shepherds, Cattle Dogs, Dashunds, Shiba Inu’s and other Terrier breeds. I've got many books on how to deal with various dog behaviors and it's taught me a lot over the years. Would love to help during the week or if you need someone to assist on the weekends too, that can be arranged. Hope to meet your pooch soon! I’ll be able to balance time as I’m at home most days of the week. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and can typically make it work. I have a fenced yard and can take care of your pooch inside or outside. If your dog likes to run, I love running with em.
“First time ever using Rover for my fur baby. Felt absolutely comfortable with leaving her. I was able to go about my day knowing she was taken care of. My dog warm up to her right away. Will definitely be a returning client . Very satisfied with the overall service”
“Inta and her husband were amazing sitters. It was only 2 days but the second day Appa (puppy) was ready to jump out of the car as soon as we parked and was very happy to see them. He loved it so much he almost didn't want to leave. Will definitely book them again in the future.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for over 10 years and would love to host small to medium-sized friendly, mellow dogs. I am an artist and writer who lives in San Pedro, CA, by the waterfront. I have a fenced yard and work out of my home art studio. I can board your doggie(s) at my house for the day or for a few hours. I do not own pets right now because I have been traveling a bit. I am available M-F, and holiday/weekends if given advance notice. Only two dogs at most at any one time at my home. Contact me if you want a trusted companion for your furry friend :) I wake up very early in the morning. I usually take a walk by midmorning, and work on art or writing for the rest of the day, so I have plenty of time to play with your furry friends. I have a fenced yard to allow your doggies to get air, sun, or run around a bit supervised. I am also comfortable with dogs sitting on my furniture or bed. I have hardwood floors.
“Our little Tippi really enjoyed her daycare sessions with Ronald and his wife. They really are dog lovers, and we appreciated their flexibility regarding our schedule. We recommend them warmly!”

About: I have experience giving medications (pills, liquids, ear/eye drops) as well as experience with senior and small dogs especially. Senior care is my strength but I love dogs of all ages. I work from home part time and am home all day Friday-Monday. There are no children or pets in the home so I am able to provide my undivided attention. Your dog will be inside my home most of the day as I do not have a yard. I do however have a large park/lake across the street that I frequent that is great for walks.

Also I love sending little photos or videos of us :)
“I had a last minute request to walk and feed Tofu and Sky was able to accommodate it, which was a big relief. He arrived promptly, was very communicative throughout the process and asked questions to make sure Tofu gets the best care. Also sent me lots of photos. Great experience and definitely highly recommend Sky!”

I am also an avid runner with my own dogs and happy to take yours for a run as well if a walk isn’t enough for their energy needs. Since we can’t adopt any more dogs into our family at the moment, I joined Rover as a way to have more dogs in my life! I work full time from home but have a pretty flexible schedule to take my lunch break at any time during the day depending on when your pet needs me. While I will only be providing outside the home services, I always make sure to treat people’s homes as I would my home. I make sure to leave it better than I found it and alert the client if I noticed anything that needed their attention immediately.
About: Having a passion for animals had allowed me to be able to adapt to the needs of each pet I encounter. From ferrets to good ol' doggos, I am comfortable with all sorts of pets. I'm a Student Parent and being able to help pet parents in-between class and parenting myself is a perfect fit in my schedule. It allows me to control my schedule. Currently I am unable to keep pets in my home. My services are pet sitting or walking. Thank you for this understanding and I hope to work with you and your pet soon!
“Penny loved her first walk with Elaine! Elaine was very sweet with her and made sure she went on a great walk while still making time for pets and love at the house before and after. Thank you for taking such good care of Penny today!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for families and their furry friends! Through my nannying and house-sitting experience, I’ve regularly cared for dogs while their families were traveling, including following detailed routines, keeping up with walks and feeding schedules, and making sure they received plenty of love and attention. I’m big on communication, so I always keep families updated with regular photos and messages so they can feel at ease while they’re away. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, going on walks, playing, and giving them lots of attention. I’d be happy to give your pup the same loving, dependable care I’d want for my own! 🐾❤️ I work full time, but I’ve made it a personal goal to hit 15,000 steps a day! I’m on a health grind and what better company than some friendly doggos on my walks? I’m available in the evenings, and I also take a big long walk around 9–11 AM in Downtown Long Beach. I genuinely love walking and especially enjoy being outdoors with a good view! I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and make their safety and comfort my priority. I’m experienced with caring for dogs in clients’ homes, including overnight house sitting while families travel. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any special instructions. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your furry friend is doing. 🐾❤️

About: I’ve had my dog, Milo, since he was a puppy and I basically take him anywhere he is welcomed. As someone who was scared of dogs as a child, I made it a priority to understand my own dog. I learned plenty about dog enrichment and body language, which has helped Milo become a well-adjusted and socialized dog. My approach to dog walking is allowing the pups to obtain enrichment through walking with brief stops for quick training. All bookings will help fund my dog’s dental cleaning, so thank you! 🫶🏽 Available for walks almost any time during the week, so long as you book in advance. 🙂↕️ Will likely walk my dog along with your dog, but let me know if your dog prefers to fly solo. Milo and I take walks every 4-8 hours. All pups are welcome to make themselves at home and are allowed on the furniture. There’s a balcony if your pup wants to sunbathe with Milo. We have a crate that your dog can use, if need be.
About: I have pet sit for friends while they are on vacation. I have taken care of about 4 dogs. I have lived with a dog for about 2 years I work part time so i have around 3 free days a week while the others i work schedule i can comfortably have time to go check in on your fur babies and work ! I can make sure your dog comfortably gets the care and attention they need while you’re away. Whether that is walks or just playing with them for a bit so they aren’t lonely
“Pearl was amazing! She dropped in before our first booking to meet me and my dog, Lola. Pearl fed and walked Lola and sent photos of our happy pooch! Thank you so much for taking great care of Lola. We had peace of mind while out for the night and came home to a happy pooch!!”
About: I have been a sitter for years. It’s just something I love to do because I love animals :) Once I got a fur family of my own (Dog & Cat) I thought it would be fun to be a sitter and do something I love. I always go the extra mile and create content, if the client approves. I work as a music producer and have tons of time for my animal friends! They make my days better 🖤 I love meeting new people and caring for their animal family. It’s just something that brightens my days. I’m very caring and attentive. Always watching out for them to make sure they’re safe and happy. Knowing they’re properly cared for is my top priority.
About: I grew up with dogs since I was a child. I grew up with Shiba Inus, so I know very well about them. I currently don't have any pets as my girl passed away from old age last year and haven't gotten a new furbaby since she passed. I have been a professional dog walker/boarder/care taker for 5 years before pandemic and had many recurring clients when I was in the Bay area. I love walking them and always give 1 on 1 attention. Some of the compliments I get all the time are how detailed my updates are with many pictures and videos. I personally love to take many pictures and videos of my pets and kids, so I just take a bunch when I walk them or have them over my place. I always make sure they have water (iced water when it gets hot) before I leave with treats (unless pawrents say otherwise). I always update with their potty details too as I know as a pawrent that you want to make sure your furbaby is doing well. If I feel something is wrong, I immediately contact the pawrent. If they made a mess, I try to clean up the best I can before leaving as I know how tiring that can be unless told otherwise. Another compliment I get is how well I am with senior dogs or dogs with medical needs. The dog I grew up with was with me since he was 3mo old until he passed (15.5yrs old). He had many health complications the last 3yrs of his life that I learned how to give every medicine that you can think of including eye meds, pills, syringes, etc. I always have pill pockets, so just in case they don't want the meds in their food, I can always wrap with pill pockets instead. I am very keen, so once I get to know your furbaby, I will be able to see any changes or sense a difference and will let you know. Since my dog was very quiet, we missed a lot of signs from him although I had a doubt as a kid. I don't want that happening to anybody or any dogs. I am also certified in pet first aid and pet cpr. I take pride in as a caretaker and love to be your furbaby's new buddy to hang out with! I currently work at home, so I can be with your furbaby all the time even when my kids are home. I don't mind taking them for walks or even to the park after work as long as weather permits Dogs are free to roam in kitchen/living room area and will have access to unlimited water. Treats will depend on what permission I get from each pawrent. They will never be alone with my kids without any adult supervision as I know how rough kids can be. My kids are taught, but are still too young, so I will never leave them alone with any dogs. I never left them alone with my senior girl even when she became weak and ill with her last few months of her life.
About: I have experience caring for both my own dogs and my neighbors' dogs. I am familiar with both small and larger breeds, and I have worked with older dogs that require extra attention and care. My empathetic nature makes me well-suited to take care of your beloved pups. I am currently working part-time, so walking your pups would be more than just a job—it would be a hobby that allows me to spend time with beautiful animals. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are top priorities in my pet care approach. Whether caring for pets in my own home or at a client's residence, I ensure a secure environment by implementing measures such as regular safety checks, secure enclosures, and pet-proofing spaces. I maintain open communication with clients to understand their pets' specific needs, preferences, and any health concerns. This personalized care extends to providing a clean and stimulating environment with enriching activities tailored to each pet's temperament and energy level.
About: My pet sitting days started out when my sister’s friend needed someone to watch his new beagle puppy Charlie. My first step into this field started at 18 where I spent 4yrs working for a boarding/daycare business that offers care for all dog breeds and sizes from puppies to seniors as well as cats in private luxury kitty condos. There I completed 2 courses and became ✅Certified✅ in reading dog body language and communication. Promoted to 👩🏻✈️Shift Lead👩🏻✈️ and responsible for all food/medication prep and administration. I became well known for being able to get those who wouldn’t always eat to eat 😋 🔹Trained in administering 💊Medications After the daycare I held a ⚕️Veterinary Kennel Assistant position as well as a 🐾Professional Dog Pack Walker/Pet Care Provider position with separate companies for a brief window period before I decided working from home through Rover was a better route while my first born was still young. 🐣 Since then I’ve had a second child and spent the past 2yrs working as 🫧Bather on and off at a local grooming shop for dogs, cats, birds & bunnies 🐶🐱🦜🐰 I’ve taken a break away from working regular hours to focus on my youngest a development as well as my eldest as he’s on the spectrum 🧩 Available full-time for your Pet Sitting/Dog Walking needs! ⏰🫶🏻😊 🩵Please note that I do have young children (ages 10 & 2) they’re great with animals (: 🩵 🔻Cannot Board any aggressive pets🔻 ❇️Can Accommodate❇️ ✔️Can provide Overnights in your own home for larger breeds & those who do better in their own space 👽✨ I keep the day going with what things need doing that day and would take joy in having your pets be a part of our family. I live in a spall apt near the Stonehaven area on NextDoor. I have a vehicle and if okay’d can transfer or walk from my apt to the park to provide enrichment/exercise if needed/requested. Potty breaks are always on leash.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all kinds — dogs, cats, guinea pigs, reptiles, and more! 🐾 I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs, whether that means walks and playtime, feeding, keeping enclosures clean, or just giving your pet lots of love and attention while you’re away. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, cuddly, quirky, or a little high-maintenance, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! Currently working part time with plenty of time to care for your fur baby. There is nothing I cannot or will not do to keep your pet healthy and happy. Loads of experience and references. I love animals more than humans! I have been caring for all kinds of animals for my whole life and look forward to caring for yours, too!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 6 years, my own dog, my brother’s 2 dogs, chicken and cats. I trained my dog from just YouTube and he is perfect. I’ve started to watch my neighbors dogs this summer, going for long walk and regular care. I’m currently on summer break so I have too much free time. I spend my days at the mall or at my brothers house volunteering to watch his dogs, even when it’s just for an hour. I have a fenced area and I’m very strong and fast so I can catch any dog if somehow the leash magically disappears. At home the door stays locked.

“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Nibbles! She watched her for 9 days in her home, and I’m so happy we found her. Drop-off and pick-up were super easy, and Shannon was very thorough about asking questions beforehand so she could make sure Nibbles was comfortable and knew her routine and preferences. She took such great care of her and made sure she was happy, well-fed, comfortable, and got lots of love and attention. I could tell Nibbles was in really good hands, as I received consistent updates/pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Shannon is such a sweetheart, and I’m extremely happy with the care she gave Nibbles. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future!”

“Laura, amazing. I trust her with my dogs as myself. She is a very caring sweet person. My 2 dogs have stayed at her house multiple times. Every morning we received updates and beautiful pictures of our dogs. Last time I forgot to bring a snack for my dogs while my dogs stayed at Laura's house for a week and she was very kind in buying my dogs a snack at no extra charge for me. I know it's a small thing, but it just shows what a nice person she is.”
“Qing always gave updates throughout the day, helping me feel peace of mind that Twix was taken care of. My dog is currently undergoing medication regimens for cancer, so I’m always nervous leaving her. But Qing made sure I knew she was getting her meds and food throughout the day. I’m very grateful! ☺️”

It’s such a relief to find someone you can always trust to take care of your furry family member. 🐾”

“Can I just say wow? Bow wow? Kate is the best case scenario on Rover—confident, competent, and sends great updates. She definitely followed our instructions, and gave them lots of snuggles and attention. We picked up two very happy doggies at the end of a 4 night boarding and we couldn’t be more pleased with how it all went. We’ve had some horror stories go down with rovers in the past and this really restored our hopes that this app can be a big success if you find the right person <3 10/10 would book again. (We have 2 2yo pug-dachshunds, no meds, no health issues, 2-walks-a-day energy)”
“Gina is the best doggie mama for our little Lulu when we are away! She’s so sweet, has a beautiful backyard for Lulu to sunbathe in & gives her lots of attention & cuddles. I always know Lulu is safe & well taken care of by Gina while we are away.🥰”
“Where do I begin? Dominique is Absolutely Amazing. She took care of Paris so well went above and beyond took her own walks. Gave her extra treats and extra love. She sent me pictures and videos of Paris and what she was doing throughout the days. I am greatly appreciative of finding her and the quality of care that she gave our little fur baby. I was so thankful and ungrateful for her care that we have already rebooked twice with her for future engagements. Thank you so much, Dominique. We greatly appreciate you and Paris had a ball.”
