“Hi! Sophie's stay with Kurt and family was AWESOME! The last time I took Sophie to a sitter (someone else) she came back a totally crazed wild dog that I did not recognize.

About: I've cared for pets countless times over the years 🐶, from family to strangers to close friends! I have experience with both calm and reactive dogs, and I’m familiar with common triggers and how to keep them comfortable, happy, and safe on every walk 🦴🐾. I'm a full-time college student 🎓, but my classes are fully remote with no required live lectures, giving me a super flexible schedule! If overnight care is needed, I can easily bring my laptop and get my work done while staying with your pup 🐕💻. There are always foster dogs coming and going in my home 🏠🐾, so I’m used to adapting quickly and staying super attentive to each pup’s unique needs. I’m mindful of my habits and surroundings to make sure accidents don’t happen, even when things could be unpredictable!
“Karli was fantastic with our sweet and active kitty! She took her in for 3 days and sent me updates everyday via text (with pictures!). We definitely plan to hire Karli again to take care of our kitty. She treats all animals like her own which gave us great peace of mind :).”

“Michele was great! Our dogs loved her & we felt comfortable leaving both our pups in her hands for the day. She followed directions and provided an update. Both pups went home tired with smiles.”
“Danielle and Austin took Rocco in last minute and saved my day. He had the best time: they took him on a walk, played fetch, and spoiled him as if he were their own. If it wasnt because of them, i wouldnt have been able to succesfully complete a project i had due that day. Cheers to the McKeevers!”
“Erica and Felipe did an amazing job taking care of my pup for the day! They updated me throughout the day and sent pictures. Riley had an amazing time and didn’t want to leave when I picked him up! Thanks so much for taking care of my “cuddle monster” he had a blast!!”
“Thank goodness for Loree and Jim. Whenever I mention to Ollie "Want to go to Loree's? He jets to the door and can't wait. And even better he comes home tired and happy. What else could I want?”
“Melinda and her family took the best care of our girl. Riley came back happy and full of love. Melinda was a great communicator and made it a very easy and enjoyable experience. We are already looking forward to the next play date!”
“This was the second time our doggos went to Jim for daycare and they were super excited to be back; they love running around in the huge yard. They came home happy and relaxed. Jim is very kind and loves dogs; highly recommend.”

“Sara was great; Everything was handled professionally and with care - a plus that she had her own dog to play with mine, which was important to me when booking; She even left mine with a toy to go - needless to say, my pup left happy with Sara’s care.”
“I left my dog Russ with Lynn for one afternoon and she took great care of him. He’s not used to staying away from me and Lynn was very helpful by keeping him calm and giving me updates while I was away. I’d leave my dog at Lynn’s place again and I’d recommend Lynn to anyone looking for a pet sitter in the area.”
About: Residents in my home are myself and my 15 year-old son and my 20-year old son. They are both attentive and gentle with our dog, Luca, and love all furry friends!! As the main caregiver in my home, I am a responsible and reliable individual who has a genuine love and passion for dogs. I have over 10 years of experience working with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I am very active and able to provide plenty of exercise and playtime for your dog. I understand the importance of consistency and routine for dogs, and I will make sure to follow any specific instructions you have for their care. I am punctual and will always arrive on time for scheduled walks or visits. I will also keep you updated with your dog's activities and behavior and make sure to address any concerns you may have. I am dedicated to providing the best care for your furry friend. I currently work from home and intentionally build in time each day to take my loveable Irishdoodle for his mid-day walks, as well as ensure he has his feeding and potty breaks on time! I am a homebody and most nights I am home, given small amounts of time to run errands or take my son to practice. Luca (my Irishdoodle), and I take daily walks together and have weekly visits to the dog park so he can run and play with others. Luca is allowed on furniture and beds, and so are his friends. He gets lots of play and belly rubs, and any furry visitor will be showered with the same love and attention!
About: Hi! I have my own 2 yr old dog Ozzy. So i know what it is like to leave your pet while out of town! Communication, and following your detailed instructions are very important. Tell me what your pet loves. I work remote so I am very flexible when checking in. I make my own schedule most of the time which will allow me to check in on your pet at anytime. I make sure to take my own pup on walks early AM. But happy to adjust to your pets needs I live near dog parks, i walk 10,000 steps a day, and my pup is very friendly. If you’d like your pet to not to be around my pup this is understandable and we can discuss this.
“Lori was very friendly & had great communication. My pup Jewels had a good time playing with her two sweet dogs & had plenty space for Jewels to play. She sent me photos & videos of her having a good time. Lori was very accommodating to my dog & I would highly recommend! Thanks again Lori for taking good care of my pup. 🙂”
About: Hi everyone! My name is Maida and I have had pets since a young age and have experience with dog training. I absolutely love all animals and will truly cherish any opportunity to take care of your baby. I have two little kids (2- and 4-year-old girl and boy) and one senior dog (13-year-old husky). We would assess how your baby would do with the kiddos and my dog for overnight boarding. For daycare or potty breaks, this should not be an issue as the kids are in school during the day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. most days. I live in Oceanside in the Arrwood community and have a fully fenced-in yard and beautiful sidewalks and trails near me for adventures. My dog (Bandit) gets along with most dogs, gets along great with cats, and the kids love cats and dogs too. If this sounds good to you, I'd love an opportunity to meet your baby and see how I can be helpful to your family. I work from home so basically your baby would be my sidekick. We have a fenced in yard which they would have access to as long as you are okay with that. We can start the day with a walk and then hang out together -- if I go anywhere they can tag along with me or would be safe inside my home. I have a crate if needed, a fully fenced in backyard and because I work from home they would be under my supervision all day. If I have to step out they would either join me, I would crate them, or leave them to roam free in the home depending on what your preference is and what's best for the pet.
“Doug is great with Bruce! We did a short meet and greet before our first full day and Doug was very responsive and communicative about Bruce. Bruce has separation anxiety, so Doug was very attentive to that and Bruce seemed totally happy and comfortable with him. Sounds like they had some nice walks and Bruce loves the cozy bed in the living room so he can nap while still being near Doug lol We have already booked additional days with Doug. Definitely recommend!”
“John is very knowledgeable and you can tell he cares about the wellbeing of your pet. I feel good knowing my dog is having fun and being genuienly cared for while I'm at work.”

“Karli made my first Rover experience seamless and stress free, despite me having to book short notice when my normal gal called in sick. I was so appreciative of her flexibility to help me make it work and she was so sweet and thorough. She even made sure my cats got some attention during her visits which just shows how much she loves animals. I will definitely reach back out to Karli if I need any help in the future!”
“Megan was available to come walk my dog for me last minute as I was in a bind which was so helpful since I work 45mins away from home. She let me know how she did on the first day which relieved a lot of my dog mom anxiety as my dog is a bit anxious/shy with new people.”
“Rachel is the best!! She’s responsive and caring. Our dog loved her and had the best time on their walks together. She provided multiple photos from each walk and included notes. We will definitely be asking Rachel to walk our dog again!”
About: I grew up with many cats and adopted/foster dogs and began volunteering at my local animal shelter when I was 16. Through these experiences, I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages and levels of timidness. Three years ago, I adopted a previously-abused, very insecure Siberian husky who, with patience and love, has blossomed into a super friendly and confident dog. I am currently getting my Masters in Business online and working part time. My school schedule is very flexible and I am available for day-of bookings. I will care for your pets as if they’re my own and am dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment. I know how intimidating strangers can be for some pets and how important having patience is. I am detail-oriented and will follow any instructions to a tee and be very respectful of your home if providing drop in visits. I believe in thorough communication and provide consistent updates to ensure peace of mind.
“First time booking Adam and he was great! He walked my dog everyday for a week. Adam is professional, a great communicator and wonderful with my dog. Highly recommend his services.”
“Sara is the very best at communicating, taking care of my dogs special needs, and is very punctual. I have had her dog sit Bubba and now dog walk and she sends loads of pictures and videos and keeps you updated constantly. Your dog will be in great hands with her. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Lauren has been amazing so far! During our first meet and greet we were impressed with her confidence and knowledge with training and behavior. This is key for us since we have bullies and they really need to know who the pack leader is. Lauren is very personable and you can tell that she takes pride in what she does. She is also great with communication. While we did run into some unexpected challenges as our pups familiarize themselves with a new walker, Lauren has been committed. We highly recommend Lauren for pet services!”
“Kat is great! Bruce has been on two walks with her so far and has had a great time. Kat is extremely responsive and communicative, and we felt totally confident in sending Bruce off with her. She's good at using the app and giving updates, which we appreciate. Bruce seemed so happy when they got back, and we will definitely be booking again!”
“Bruno is phenomenal at what he does. He is professional, attentive, caring and detail oriented. Both if our dogs bonded with him quickly and it was very obvious in the photos - they had a great time!”
“Carmine has quickly gotten so comfortable with Makenna! He’s always excited to see her. She has been a great help to us as we work on introducing him to knew things and experiences”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and started helping care for family, friends, and neighbors’ pets when I was around 8 years old. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities—from shy or reactive dogs to dogs that love everyone they meet. I’ve also looked after multiple dogs at the same time and am comfortable handling different energy levels and needs. I’ve cared for cats as well, including both territorial cats and super affectionate ones. I’m comfortable giving medication to cats and dogs and am always willing to learn about the needs of other animals. I genuinely love being around animals and treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. My schedule is pretty open and flexible right now. Open to: • Quick walk • Long adventure • A drop-in visit • Overnight care I can usually accommodate a variety of schedules. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and keep their normal routine. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and lots of love while you’re away. I always take the time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and needs so I can provide care that feels safe and stress-free for them.

I'm sure he'll love to go back. From our home, she's a little out of the way, but it's more than worth it. We're grateful.”
