“Whitney was great! We were so grateful that she took such good care of our Carly! From the first moment she met our dog we knew she would be in good hands. Whitney went the extra mile to make sure Carly was safe and happy! Carly was well taken care of and Whitney sent pictures everyday! We would highly recommend Whitney to anyone that needs a caregiver for their dog!”
“Hana is amazing! She completely understood our two dogs even at the first meeting. We have a pit mix rescue who is scared of strangers and yet was so comfortable with Hana. Genuinely sweet and caring dog whisperer.”
“Jason and family were excellent hosts to Molly. He even worked with her on crow reactivity and I’ve already noticed a big difference. I will certainly tap them for needs in the future. He even gave her a parting gift🙂”
“We had the absolute pleasure of having Yuki take care of our puppy over the long holiday weekend, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This was our very first time using Rover. From the moment we dropped Coco off, Yuki showed so much kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care that immediately put us at ease. Our puppy is a 1-year-old, unspayed female and was going through her heat cycle at the time, which can be a lot to manage but Yuki handled everything with such grace and understanding. She kept us updated every single day with thoughtful messages and tons of sweet photos of Coco playing, resting, and enjoying time with her two adorable senior dogs. It was clear that Coco felt right at home and was being treated like one of the family. Yuki’s communication, warmth, and the level of care she provided went above and beyond what we could have hoped for. She was not only amazing with Coco but also incredibly kind and respectful to us throughout the whole process. We are so grateful to have found Yuki and cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and truly outstanding sitter. Thank you, Yuki, for taking such wonderful care of our girl🐾💕”
“Amalia and her family took the absolute best care of my mom’s dog, Sandy, during the Christmas holiday. They were in regular contact sharing pictures and videos of Sandy which was heartwarming and also provided relief in knowing that she was receiving good care. They were also very responsive when I contacted them and offered flexibility in the drop off and pick up times, which relieved a lot of stress for us. I highly recommend them, and will absolutely use them again when we have future boarding care needs.”
“Susan and her family are very experienced with dogs. My GSD stayed with them for a few days and I can tell she had a great time walking and playing with them and other dog and had peaceful time with cats. Susan sent me frequent updates with pictures which made me feel so much ease. I appreciate all her efforts caring my dog. I would definitely go to her next time without any hesitation. Thanks Susan!”
“Our dog Lula had a great time during his boarding stay with Shyrah! She was very communicative and provided photos and updates throughout the booking. Would recommend!”
“Linda was incredibly responsive to my request and so easy to work with. She took such good care of my Yorkie and I’m pretty sure he got all the love and snuggles he needed. She is a kind, gentle soul who gave me peace of mind on his 8 day stay. I owe her a huge THANK YOU!”
“Savanah is wonderful with Bailey! He goes right to her and settles in. We know Bailey is safe and well cared for. And we had a little change in schedule, with Savanah being flexible and easy to work with. We hope to book her again soon!”
“Very friendly and accommodating. Our dog seemed very happy and well cared for. Mayank was also very responsive and sent regular updates with pictures each day. Highly recommend!”
“Kaitlin and Verle did an amazing job of caring for our dog Punky! They were extremely proactive about getting to know Punky and her particular needs (separation anxiety, dog reactivity), and making sure we were comfortable with their apartment--which, by the way, seemed to be an ideal environment safe for a dog with easy access to a fenced patio. After picking up Punky, she has seemed happy and relaxed. Strongly recommended!”
“Eden was absolutely wonderful. She took care of my pups while I was out of town and made them feel loved and comfortable. She consistently kept me updated with photos and videos. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Highly recommended! My 12 year old Husky Zeus had a great time while I was out of town. I was updated along the way and sent pictures of him enjoying his self. Will definitely use Kylie and Anthony again in the near future!”
“I was extremely anxious about having to leave my cat for the first time, but Marwa was truly amazing! My cat is usually very shy and doesn’t warm up to people easily, but with Marwa, he was so comfortable and relaxed. She kept me updated with daily pictures and videos, which really gave me peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely loves and cares for the animals she watches. I will 100% be booking with her again anytime I need someone to take care of my baby. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
“Naira was wonderful with my Todd! I felt so safe leaving him with her, so glad I was able to find a good babysitter for my fur baby on such short notice! Thank you so much Naira!”
“Shakyra took great care of our pup and sent picture updates which were greatly appreciated! Will definitely leave our pup with Shakyra again and highly recommend”
“Cerita and her family was absolutely phenomenal watching Cyrus. We had a sudden and heartbreaking family emergency—a reunion that ended in tragedy, which required a trip to the emergency room where my cell phone was stolen, leaving me with no immediate way to communicate with Cerita, and we even got a flat tire on the way home—and Cerita was a pillar of support and kindness throughout it all. She was incredibly understanding, flexible, and communicative, which took a huge weight off our shoulders during a time of great stress and grief. She took wonderful care of Cyrus and provided constant, reassuring updates. We are so grateful for her compassion and highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and truly caring sitter. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts Cerita 🙏 ❤️ We are so grateful for you and appreciate you more then words could ever express 🌺”
“Kept my baby girl with Cameron for over 2 weeks while I was vacationing with the kids and parents in Europe. He took excellent care of her, sent regular texts, pics and videos and was very responsive. He wa also very flexible when I had to increase the pick up day by one additional day in the last minute. When I saw Basha I remarked that she seemed bigger so clearly he took good care of her. I happily recommend his services!”

About: I’ve taken care of and owned cats my whole life. My mother prides herself in being the neighborhood cat rescuer. I’ve cared for newborns to seniors. I have experience giving medications. I understand the sassy independence and the respect that our feline companions require.
About: What sets me apart is the level of detail and care I bring to every visit. I own and care for two cats myself, one senior and one adolescent, so I’m experienced with both age-specific needs, from extra patience and monitoring to keeping up with a younger cat’s energy. I don’t just cover the basics, I make sure each cat feels comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for in their own space. I’m attentive to behavior changes, experienced with administering medications when needed, and I keep things exceptionally clean (yes, that includes thoroughly maintaining litter boxes). I treat every cat like my own, giving them patience, affection, and a calm, reliable presence while you’re away.
“Susanne’s updates were very reassuring and thorough each day. She sent great pictures too. We are very grateful to be able to depend on Susanne to take excellent care of our cats when we’re away.”
About: Hi! My name is Elsy, and animals have always been a big part of my life. I truly believe that pets are family, they fill our hearts with unconditional love and joy. I had my sweet Schnauzer, Tito, for 15 beautiful years. He was my best friend and brought so much happiness to my life. Losing him was hard, but his love inspired me to keep sharing that same care and affection with other pets who deserve to feel safe, happy, and loved. I grew up in a family that always had dogs, so I’ve cared for many breeds German Shepherds, Chihuahuas, Schnauzers, and French Poodles. Each one has their own personality, and I love understanding what makes them special whether they’re playful, shy, curious, or cuddly. I’m bilingual (English & Spanish), kind, patient, and responsible. I will treat your furry friend with the same love and respect I gave to my own. I’m here to help you take care of your pet with heart, trust, and devotion. 🐶🐱 Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent attention, walks, and feeding at the times your pet is used to. I plan my day around each pet’s individual needs to ensure they receive reliable, loving, and responsible care. I speak English and Spanish, and I'm available immediately." That sounds like a wonderful and dog-friendly community! Having green areas for walks and an open patio in your apartment is great for your pet's well-being. Is a park near for play time.They'll likely enjoy the outdoor spaces and feel less confined.
About: I’ve had at least one dog in my home since I was 3 years old, so it’s the only way I know! I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone, so I prioritize communication, consistency, and creating a safe, comfortable environment. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight care, I focus on meeting each dog’s individual needs. I also have experience with puppies and basic training reinforcement, and I’m happy to support routines you’re already working on. You can expect regular updates, photos, and thoughtful care every step of the way 🤍 I work from home on a flexible schedule, so I’m available for walks anytime of the day, morning, afternoon, or evening! I’m also available for drop in care and pet sitting when needed, I have the flexibility to work from wherever so spending the day with your pet is no problem! I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. Being a dog mom myself, I know the level of care and attention I would want for my own dog, and I bring that same level of intention to every client I work with. I have plenty of experience with having pets of my own and making sure they are safe, happy, and taken care of. I also have plenty of experience walking my own dogs over the years, so I feel confident I can keep your pets safe on our walks. I’m comfortable with puppies, active dogs, and dogs who may need a little extra patience or structure. I focus on creating a calm, consistent environment so dogs feel secure and understood.
About: Where do I begin? When I was in college, I dated a woman who brought home two stunning Abyssinian Egyptian cats. They were the most beautiful babies I had ever seen, and I helped her raise them for many years. I loved them and nurtured them for years. Many years later, I was in a new relationship with a woman who had two Saudi Arabian princesses as her clients. The princesses each bought two Russian Siberian cats to take back to Saudi, but this journey would have required them to put the babies in quarantine for months. That was scary prospect for everyone so they gifted the cats to my girlfriend and I at the time. We each took one and named them Chloe and Bijou. Chloe came home with me and for the last 18 years she has been my special girl. In the beginning, I would bring her down with me to Los Angeles with me every week to visit so her and her sister could have playtime. I got Chloe comfortable traveling, walking around outside with me, taking walks, etc. I don’t think I’ve ever felt closer to another animal. Now at the later end of her life, I’m giving her fluids every other day because she has fourth stage kidney failure, but still she gets hours of cuddles and love every single day. My entire neighborhood knows her because she goes on daily walks without any harness, and we cruise around the neighborhood together so that she can smell all of the different leaves and play in the brush. When you live this long with an animal, there’s a deep bond and depth of understanding that comes from so much time connecting. I’ve always known and been told that I have a special way with animals. Most cats do gravitate towards me, as well as dogs. For me, animals are one of the most special parts of being alive, and they all deserve to be honored and loved.
“We had Le Lee stay overnight with our 2 cats and they loved her! We have one cat who’s really social, loves to play and needs to be played with a lot so he doesn’t cause trouble, Le Lee gave him all the attention he needed and played with him until he was tired. Our other cat is super skittish and mostly hides when people come over. She has been known to hide the whole time when sitters are there but she was out and playing with Le Lee within the same day (amazing because she never does that!) Le Lee sent lots of pictures and updates for us which reassured me that everything was going well, and I wasn’t worried at all. She also was available last minute and made time to come do a meet and greet with us and the cats beforehand. I would highly recommend her for your pets, and I’ll definitely be asking her to stay with our cats again next time! Thank you so much Le Lee!”
“Cristen watched my two cats while I was out of town and was great to work with! Her energy is very gentle and she immediately felt trustworthy and nurturing. One of my cats has some special medication needs and Cristen showed up exactly when she needed her meds and also handled the whole process wonderfully. She gave very comprehensive and sweet updates and it was clear she really cared about providing good care for my girls. She also has a great sense of humour and the updates made me laugh ? will definitely be working with Cristen again”

About: Hello my name is Shileen! I am a fur-baby mama to 1 dog and 1 cat!! I recently had to say goodbye to two of my dogs and one cat due to cancer.

“Caity is a wonderful cat sitter. Kind, patient communicative, and thorough, she took incredible care of our beloved cat, Kuma, over 2 days. She took the time to get to know Kuma and make him comfortable with her presence. She quickly read his moods and needs, and made Kuma's first extended stint alone as easy as possible for both him and us - going well above and beyond what we had hoped. She sent us multiple fantastic photos and a report on how he was doing each visit - very comforting for two first-time cat owners. We'd work with her again in a heartbeat and are so happy to have found Caity!”
“Hana is great with my cat! My cat knows when Hana is coming and comes running to greet her. She loves to play with Hana, and has memorized exactly when Hana is supposed the come over 😂 She loves Hana so much and Hana loves her! Hana is a wonderful cat sitter!”
“We were so glad we contacted her to take care of my cat since she was very punctual, friendly with my pet. She was in constant contact with me and sent various pictures and videos of my cat. She was overall very flexible and took great care of my cat and in the future we will definitely choose her again.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, so I’ve always been around and cared for animals. I also have experience with leash aggressive dogs — my dog at home can be reactive around other dogs, so I have learned how to handle those situations calmly and safely. I am currently a student taking online courses over the summer, so I am often available everyday of the week unless I had prior commitments/appointments. I always check in with owners about their pet’s behavior before a walk or visit, so I know what to be aware of and what works best so I can make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well taken care of.
“Audrey took very good care of our kitties when we were out of town for a couple of days. She sent some cute pictures and always responded in a very timely manner to our texts.”

“Hana is so sweet and such a professional! You can tell how much she cares for dogs and her knowledge is vast with dog training! Our dog, Brodie, used to go to daycare at a big facility but would always be too overstimulated. With Hana, his demeanor is way better! Would recommend her to anybody!”
“Mrs. Shyrah is awesome! I brought my 2 dogs - Athena (Rottweiler) and Ava (Chihuahua/Dachshund) - to her care, and despite them both being very shy of new people, I was told they did wonderfully, they were so calm and friendly to her at her home. She let both of them feel welcome and let them acclimate to the environment at their own pace. She often sent me pictures and updated me on how they were, which was so great to see. I will 100% be booking Mrs. Shyrah again in the nearby future for all daycare and overnight stays! She’s awesome and my dogs love her! 💕”
“Susanee is an excellent dog sitter! She took great care of my dog, Zhuangzhuang, and there was also another Bernese dog for them to play with, which helped Zhuangzhuang burn off a lot of energy. Plus, Susanee has a large, fenced yard, perfect for active pets. Zhuangzhuang had a fantastic day!”
“Ruby had a great time! Thank you Jason for the walks and cuddles with Ruby and all the sweet pictures! It was comforting to know she was being well taken care of while I spent the afternoon sightseeing.”
“Alyssa was fantastic! She responded promptly, she provided great care and feedback, she has a great setup, and I'm looking to book her again this week and beyond!”
About: Hi, I’m Michelle. I’m a longtime dog owner with over 16 years of experience, and I recently returned to Rover after taking a few years’ hiatus to care for our senior pup full-time. We recently said goodbye to our sweet girl, Mika, who was with us for 16.5 wonderful years. Caring for her taught us so much about patience, comfort, and the extra love senior dogs need. While we’re not quite ready to adopt again, we would truly love to share that love with your pup. My husband and I have a calm, dog-free home, which allows us to give your dog our full attention in a peaceful, low-stress environment. We have a special place in our hearts for senior dogs and those who may need gentler care, but we love pups of all ages. Your dog’s days will include two walks (adjusted for age and energy level), playtime or cozy downtime, treats with your approval, and lots of affection and belly rubs. I also provide photo updates and check-ins so you can feel confident your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. A Few Things I’d Love to Know To provide the best care possible, please let me know: • Any special needs or medical considerations • If your dog experiences separation anxiety • Feeding schedule, diet, medications, or allergies • Their daily routine and energy level • Favorite comforts, routines, or quirks Important Note Extended stay: An additional $25 day rate applies if pick-up is over the 24-hour period. Your pup will get plenty of attention. We can go for walks and have some play time. Ofcourse (if your pet is older we will go for shorter walks) They’ll get treats and belly rubs. We have a patio with grass they can go potty anytime :) I have a cozy and fenced patio. They can sit and lay out by the sun. I also have a grassy area for potty breaks anytime the want.
“Whitney is one of the most comprehensive and attentive sitters I’ve gotten. Got loads of pictures and fantastic updates! Definitely a recommend and would love to have her take care of Terry again!”
“Will never be able to say enough amazing things about Mary, Amalia and her entire family. Mary is so attentive to my boy and knows his schedule by heart. She probably knows him just as much as me, and that’s so meaningful as a dog mom. Thanks always. 🤗”
“Sarah was a great choice for watching our Shabu. She provides frequent and clear communication and was gracious when we had some schedule adjustments. Shabu had a good time with her and her pup, Coco!”
“As a mom of a toy senior fur baby who’s almost 17, it’s always worrisome when she’s not in my care with her growing list of health issues and how fragile she is. But luckily I found Eden who is amazing and has the kindest, most loving energy! Her love for dogs is apparent and shows in how she cares for both her own and mine. ❤️ She carefully asked all the appropriate questions, gave me a tour of her place (along with a separate living area perfect for small dogs; connected to a dog door and outdoor dog run) and updated me throughout the stay with pictures and quickly answered any questions I had. Thanks again Eden, you’re a lifesaver and I look forward to future bookings with you! 🐶 ❤️🫶🏻”
About: Hi there! :) I'm a 29 year old young professional using Rover in my spare time. I love dogs and cats and I have cared for my own cockapoo from when she was a puppy to fourteen unforgettable years with her everlasting puppy energy! I’ve also lived with extended family for 3 years and helped care for three dogs: two shih tzu/maltese dogs and an energetic, adorable yorkie! I have added a new puppy to my family over the last few years and now have another cockapoo, so I have extensive experience caring for little pups! From small cockapoos to big lovable retrievers, I have exceptional pet sitting experience as well as basic walking experience. I am always eager to accompany some furry friends during my free time :) I love exercising and being outdoors, so I would love to run with any dogs that also enjoy an active lifestyle! I have no allergies to any other animals, and I do have a car to get around the city. **For house sitting requests, please reach out at a minimum of 1 week in advance. I am unable to accommodate last minute requests as I always schedule meet-and-greets with you and your pets to ensure I am a good fit for you and their needs.** Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. I look forward to learning more about you and your lovely pet(s)! I work from home full time on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays with full availability to accompany your pet(s) all day. I go into the office on Wednesdays and Thursdays, typically from 9am to noon. With that said, if I am house sitting, I can still feed your pet in the mornings and take them outside to relieve themselves. I usually end my work days between 4:00-4:30pm and I am also flexible on the weekends :) For drop-in visits and dog walks: Please be as specific as possible for how you would like me to care for your pet! Include information such as where to find their food, bowls, treats, harness, leash, potty pads, cleaning supplies, etc. Please also be transparent and let me know of any external or in-home cameras. This is for my own safety and privacy.
About: Hi! My name is Kiara and I am a fully remote worker with no pets and a quiet, clean space to spend time with your baby - focusing on one dog at a time to ensure quality attention and care can be provided. I am an experienced dog owner who lost my baby, Shiloh 🐾🪽🤍, after 13 years. Since Shiloh’s passing, I haven’t felt ready to commit to owning another dog full-time. However, I have been big sister/cousin to other dogs over many years and have loved on various breeds, sizes, and personalities. I am particularly experienced in providing calm, laidback environments for furry family and friends, ensuring both pup and I feel at ease with our time together. My work grants me the ability to love on and closely monitor the dog(s) I choose to spend time with in the comfort of my home. I have the flexibility to not only give lots of TLC, but also take them for walks or play in my backyard. I have a healthy work/life balance that avails the opportunity to make time to brighten a pup’s day, giving you some free time and me some added canine joy. While your pup will have open space in my home to explore, I have a safety gate to block off stairs as needed, and a designated comfort area for smaller dogs with a playpen, bed, bowls, and toys. My fully fenced in backyard makes backyard trips convenient and safe, and my neighborhood offers many sidewalks and parks to safely walk my more active friends.
“Kylie is very responsive and communicates well, which I appreciate. My dog enjoys his days playing with their 2 dogs and others they care for. I’ll definitely continue using their services.”

About: I have had a family dog my whole life. My current pup is a 2year old mini goldendoodle that is about 25lbs. He is high energy and loves play time, long walks and going to the dog park. I work remote full time so I am home with my dog the majority of my day. Any pet in my care would get the same treatment as my own. Multiple walks, a trip to the park and of course regular feedings. My pet is free to roam my apartment, I have a balcony that he also has free access to during the day. I keep the door open for him.
“Rebecca was amazing. I requested the night before, and she made room for Pancake the next day. She had an amazing time playing with the other dogs and kiddos at the house and came home to zonk out. Thank you so much for giving her such fun days!”
About: I have a sweet 90lb golden retriever, and a rambunctious and playful rescue mutt! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have gone through puppy training courses with both of my dogs and am comfortable walking large dogs who pull. I can help with training for pulling and walking manners if needed! Whether you need someone to come over and take your pups for a walk and some play time, or you want them to come over and play with my pups, I am happy to help in anyway I can! I work as a nurse only 2 days a week so I am fully available 5 days a week for anything your pets might need! I have a fenced yard and two very friendly pups who love to play. They love having friends over for play dates! My dogs are both crate trained, and sleep in their crates at night. We go for 2 walks a day and usually go to the park nearby for fetch a few times a week! We love to be active and do training throughout the day!
“Love the updates throughout the day and especially the pictures of our pups having so much fun! We have peace of mind our dogs are safe while we’re at work all day. Thank you!”
“Had a last minute trip and Melanie was able to accommodate us. She was very informative, sent pictures and let us know how she was doing. I would love to use Melanie again when we are in town.”

“I booked Kat to walk my dog for the week while I was out of town. My dog has extremely high energy, and can sometimes too much for some people. Kat was amazing with him though, and I could tell he responded well to her. She knew when he needed to get more energy out and ran with him, handled him when he got too excited, and was patient in his moments of overwhelming excitement. I will 100% book Kat again in the future when I need someone to care for my dog.”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my depth of hands-on experience and genuine commitment to animal well-being. I have over 15 years of animal care experience, including pet and house sitting, as well as volunteering with rescues and shelters where I’ve assisted with grooming, walking, and daycare. I currently volunteer with the San Diego Humane Society on the dog team, where I handle dog walking, playtime enrichment, and essential care tasks like laundry and kennel cleaning. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs—from energetic puppies who benefit from basic training and structure, to senior dogs who require patience, gentle handling, and attentive care. My background has taught me how to read animal behavior, build trust quickly, and create a safe, calm environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel secure, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I work a hybrid job where the majority of my week I am working from home. I have a very flexible schedule and have availability to make time for your pet at any time on Sundays through Tuesdays and Fridays through Saturdays. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I follow all feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions you provide, whether that includes administering medications, reinforcing training, or accommodating special diets. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection so they don’t feel stressed or lonely. For walks, I prioritize safety, structure, and engagement. I’m experienced handling dogs with different energy levels and temperaments, and I tailor each walk to their needs. I practice good leash handling, stay aware of surroundings, and reinforce positive behaviors during walks. In addition to pet care, I respect your home by keeping things clean and tidy. My background in shelter work means I’m very comfortable with cleaning tasks, monitoring pet health and behavior, and responding calmly to unexpected situations. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so both you and your pet feel at ease.

“Susanne has done a great job with Rex and Riley. Rex always gets nervous with new people but she handled our big boy well, so calm and non threatening. We’ve booked her multiple times already and will continue to do so! 🤗”
“Hana is amazing! I have been extremely scatterbrained and she’s been very understanding and worked with me when I messed up our walking schedule. She is a true dog whisperer and I trust her with our (sometimes very angry) 13 year old husky. She is very patient with him (and me) and has been a real lifesaver for dog walking on our busy 15 hour days!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and find true happiness caring for them. I have experience working at a veterinarian office so feel confident giving medications if necessary. While working as a veterinarian technician I provided dogs walks and pet sitting. A little about me, I left the corporate world to pursue more joy. I love being outside and with four legged friends. I work part-time so my availability is very flexible. I’m currently working part-time early mornings, so I’ll have plenty of flexibility for late morning, afternoon and evening walks. I’m available Monday - Friday and weekends. I believe that safety is number one, keeping your pet family safe and happy will be my number one priority. I’m a believer that communication is key.
“Harper did so well on her outing! She's not around kids normally and with Cristen's care she was awesome. Harper adores Cristen and listens attentively to her. Dakota is always a great dog to everyone and both loved the hike and Cristen. They always feel safe with her.”
About: House with AC and heat! Blasting it all day long for these fur babies!!! I grew up with dogs! I raised my fur baby since she was 8 weeks old and she almost 6 years old now. I also have watched many of my friends and neighbors dogs while they are gone for a few nights up to a week. I fostered two puppies (separately) last year, and may foster again soon! I work from home and have the flexibility to build my day. I spend a lot of the day on the couch (in the AC or heat) to be near Cocoa. I get an hour for lunch so I tend to take Cocoa out to play if the weather permits. I also have a fenced back yard and spend a lot of time out there with the pups. I do go to the gym almost daily and sometimes go into the office to meet clients for a few hours. It’s best if your dog can be crated or left alone in a seperate room without anxiety or accidents. I have a fenced in yard as well as baby gates in the house to keep the dogs out of areas they shouldn’t including by the front door. I live in a nice community with clean grassy areas for dogs to sniff and potty.
About: With 15 years of experience in pet care, I have provided loving and reliable care for animals of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets requiring extra attention. I have hands-on experience with a variety of breeds, including energetic Huskies and affectionate Pugs, tailoring my care to meet their unique needs. My background also includes working with rescue animals, helping them adjust to new environments with patience and compassion. Whether it’s administering medications, ensuring proper exercise, or simply providing companionship, I am dedicated to keeping pets happy, healthy, and well-cared for. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule, allowing me to provide reliable and consistent service. I am available for walks, feedings, and check-ins during the early mornings before 8:30 AM, midday between 12 PM and 3 PM, and in the evenings after 6 PM. This flexibility ensures that pets receive the care they need throughout the day, whether it's a morning potty break, a midday walk, or evening companionship. I’m committed to accommodating each pet’s routine to keep them happy and comfortable. I can provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets in my home. With a spacious backyard for outdoor play, plenty of room inside—including a dedicated spare bedroom for boarding—and a welcoming living room for relaxation, pets have ample space to feel at home. Having previously cared for two dogs in my home, I understand the importance of creating a warm, stress-free environment tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether it's overnight stays, extended boarding, or just a place to relax during the day, I ensure every pet receives personalized care, attention, and plenty of playtime.
About: I am really looking forward to meeting many new pets! I grew up with cats, playing and snuggling with them everyday, with the addition of my dog about 6 years ago. It’s hard being apart from them for any length of time, so I enjoy creating new pet friendships! I’m excited to make bonds by treating your pet the same way I treat my own, with love and care. I also have experience in giving medicine to cats, such as administering shots or medicine with a syringe orally. My college courses over the Summer are online, so I can care for your pet at all times of day. It helps me get out of the house and exercise! I will update my availability for the Fall when the time comes, but both the afternoons and weekends will remain open all year round. I appreciate any notice of your pets likes and dislikes! Though I understand they can be random at times, I want to make sure there’s a mutual trust between your pet and I. I have no problem following directions, whether it’s from you or the pet!
“Tyler was incredible with our active, anxious pup, Penny! He was so patient with her and even helped with leash training along the way. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos. He was quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and even added an extra day when we extended our trip. Total peace of mind and such a great experience… we’d absolutely book with him again!”
“Audrey was such a gem! My dogs loved her, and she was super reliable and communicative. I was out of town for a work trip and it gave me such peace of mind to know my pups were in good hands. I’ll definitely use her again and would recommend her in a heartbeat!”
“Jane was wonderful with our leash-reactive dog, who always came home happy (and tired!) from her walks. Jane is reliable and her love for dogs is obvious. We will definitely be using Jane again in the future. 100% recommend!”
About: I have owned dogs since I was about 4 years old so I grew up loving animals. At the moment, I have 2 dogs and 1 cat and they are my absolute favorite things in this world. I have experience walking, feeding, playing, and giving medication to dogs! My work schedule varies but I am open and flexible around the shifts that I work. I am only part time so I have plenty of availability! I would prefer to only care for pets outside of my home as I have personal pets at my home and wouldn’t want to bring more in.

About: I've taken care of numerous family and personal dogs since I was very young. I've taken care of and raised German Shepard puppies, and I'm also experienced with small senior dog care as I've taken care of my senior chihuahua. I'm working part time and I am a college student that takes online/from home classes so I have plenty of time to hangout with your pups! I work from 5pm-12am Friday through Sunday but I am available Monday through Thursday from 12pm-12am. I have a fenced grass yard and one small dog named Nova (miniature pincher/chihuahua mix) to keep your dog company. Nova is very friendly and calm around small dogs but she gets anxious/skittish with large dogs so no large dogs please :). I don't crate my dog so no crates on site.

“Hana is amazing! She completely understood our two dogs even at the first meeting. We have a pit mix rescue who is scared of strangers and yet was so comfortable with Hana. Genuinely sweet and caring dog whisperer.”
“Jason and family were excellent hosts to Molly. He even worked with her on crow reactivity and I’ve already noticed a big difference. I will certainly tap them for needs in the future. He even gave her a parting gift🙂”
“Susan and her family are very experienced with dogs. My GSD stayed with them for a few days and I can tell she had a great time walking and playing with them and other dog and had peaceful time with cats. Susan sent me frequent updates with pictures which made me feel so much ease. I appreciate all her efforts caring my dog. I would definitely go to her next time without any hesitation. Thanks Susan!”
“Our dog Lula had a great time during his boarding stay with Shyrah! She was very communicative and provided photos and updates throughout the booking. Would recommend!”
“Savanah is wonderful with Bailey! He goes right to her and settles in. We know Bailey is safe and well cared for. And we had a little change in schedule, with Savanah being flexible and easy to work with. We hope to book her again soon!”
“Very friendly and accommodating. Our dog seemed very happy and well cared for. Mayank was also very responsive and sent regular updates with pictures each day. Highly recommend!”
“Kaitlin and Verle did an amazing job of caring for our dog Punky! They were extremely proactive about getting to know Punky and her particular needs (separation anxiety, dog reactivity), and making sure we were comfortable with their apartment--which, by the way, seemed to be an ideal environment safe for a dog with easy access to a fenced patio. After picking up Punky, she has seemed happy and relaxed. Strongly recommended!”
“Highly recommended! My 12 year old Husky Zeus had a great time while I was out of town. I was updated along the way and sent pictures of him enjoying his self. Will definitely use Kylie and Anthony again in the near future!”
“Shakyra took great care of our pup and sent picture updates which were greatly appreciated! Will definitely leave our pup with Shakyra again and highly recommend”
“Cerita and her family was absolutely phenomenal watching Cyrus. We had a sudden and heartbreaking family emergency—a reunion that ended in tragedy, which required a trip to the emergency room where my cell phone was stolen, leaving me with no immediate way to communicate with Cerita, and we even got a flat tire on the way home—and Cerita was a pillar of support and kindness throughout it all. She was incredibly understanding, flexible, and communicative, which took a huge weight off our shoulders during a time of great stress and grief. She took wonderful care of Cyrus and provided constant, reassuring updates. We are so grateful for her compassion and highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and truly caring sitter. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts Cerita 🙏 ❤️ We are so grateful for you and appreciate you more then words could ever express 🌺”
“Kept my baby girl with Cameron for over 2 weeks while I was vacationing with the kids and parents in Europe. He took excellent care of her, sent regular texts, pics and videos and was very responsive. He wa also very flexible when I had to increase the pick up day by one additional day in the last minute. When I saw Basha I remarked that she seemed bigger so clearly he took good care of her. I happily recommend his services!”
“Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!”
“Royce had a great time with Jimmy! He was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures and responded quickly. Definitely recommend him and will use him again in the future.”
“Shelby and her family were kind enough to allow my pup to spend the holidays with them. She is an energetic dog, so knowing she was being taken on walks, runs, to the dog park, etc. meant so much! If you’re looking for your pup to get lots of love and playtime, highly recommend Shelby!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Nick. He was professional, reliable, and cared about my pet's well-being. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pet came home happy, and well cared for. I highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter, and I would definitely book with them again!”
“Tinsika and Bob took absolutely amazing care of our Pomeranian, Pippa. Throughout her stay, they were great at communicating and kept us updated with lovely pictures, which gave us peace of mind. Their patience and warmth really shone through as they allowed Pippa to stay with them on the couch, making her feel right at home. Their home is perfect for pets, with a grassy patio where Pippa could run and burn off her energy. It was comforting to know that they only take care of one pet at a time, ensuring Pippa got all the attention she needed. We’re incredibly grateful for their care and hope they’ll be available the next time we have a short trip. Tinsika and Bob are truly excellent pet sitters—highly recommended! Honestly, if I could gate-keep them for myself, I would, but it would be unfair to other pet owners who need such wonderful sitters!”
“Jocy was amazing! She gave the best updates throughout the day and took such amazing care of our fur baby. We loved all the pictures and videos, and the attention to detail to meet our pups’ needs was above and beyond. We will definitely use her services again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pawfect sitter. :)”
