“This was Lulu’s first time with Kristin and I had such peace of mind knowing how well cared for and loved she was while she was there by Kristin and her family. Lulu is a high maintenance girl with needing to eat several times a day as well as needing medications throughout the day. I provided a very detailed list that Kristin followed incredibly well because Lulu had no issues while she was there and I received daily updates and pictures of how she was doing. Additionally, Kristin was incredibly accommodating when my flight was delayed and I needed to come home a day later. I highly recommend her!”
“We highly recommend Ricky for your pet-sitting needs! He took great care of our older Yorkie. He provided daily updates and feedback, along with photos. The feeding instructions and medication were followed without any issues, and our little one returned happy and healthy. Excellent stay :-)”
“Katie took exceptional care of our golden retriever. She gave updates on how he was doing throughout the stay and asked great questions about how she could make him feel right at home. Excellent communication but most importantly a great family that treated our dog like their own. 5 stars!! Highly recommend!!”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Cotton. Christle did a wonderful job and kept me in the loop throughout the day. I truly appreciate her effort and will definitely ask for her help again whenever I need coverage.”
“Betsabeth and her pup Bear are absolutely great! Freya has definitely made new friends in them and gets so excited when I drop her off for the weekend-- I know she's being cared for well. Betsabeth is very accommodating and keeps me updated with pictures while I'm away :) I highly recommend her!”
About: I have a 13 year old dog so i understand the patience it takes to care for animals. I am attentive and loves to play. My schedule is pretty flexible so I am able to check in with the animal frequently. I am able to check in throughout the day I have a dog who is friendly and playful with others. He’s good at walking with other pets. When visiting clients i want to follow their rules and treat their pets like they were my own.
“Kristin was absolutely amazing! As a first-time pet owner, I was nervous about leaving my 6-month-old puppy for three weeks, just two months after adopting her. Kristin went above and beyond, providing not only shelter, food, and affection but also invaluable training. She ensured my dog got plenty of exercise and even introduced her to swimming! Kristin sent daily updates with pictures and videos, keeping me constantly informed. When I picked her up, Kristin gave me a detailed report on everything—from her food intake (with tips on avoiding digestive issues) to her training progress. She even provided advice on making frozen treats and other ways to support her health. As a new pet owner, I was incredibly grateful for this guidance. This wasn’t just pet-sitting; it felt like a boarding school for dogs! Kristin, along with Mark and sweet Kaia, created an incredible experience for my dog. I can’t recommend her enough—she is the most knowledgeable, caring, and well-rounded dog sitter you could ever ask for.”
“Austin was fantastic about communicating both before and during our dog’s stay. He was great with her medications and making sure she was taken care of so we didn’t have to worry about her. She was one of the family while she was there. She’ll definitely be back”
“I am more than thee typical nervous dog mom. Rebecca calmed me down so fast. My pup loves her more than me. He loves to run and play with the other dogs there. She is so attentive to my pup and to me (the nervous worry wart), sending frequent pics of my dog. Being at Rebecca’s is a vacation for my pup.”
“I couldn't have asked for better people to take care of my Rosie! Alan and Luis made me feel comfortable in leaving my dog with them for a short stay and sent me picture updates daily. Thank you for treating Rosie as one of your own!”
“We have now had Jackie dog sit Tillie 3 times -this time being the longest stay (2weeks). Jackie was once again, an awesome caretaker - excellent communication, many photos and kept Tillie busy by taking her for walks, bringing her to parks to run around and playing in their home. Just seeing Tillie so excited to see Jackie at drop off and looking forward to playing with Sushi made us confident that Tillie was comfortable going to their home.”
“Elise was great at communication taking our 21 week old puppy for a few days while we were away. Our dog has separation anxiety and not crate trained which Elise was great with. At the end she gave us some tips and suggestions to help with our puppies situations and we are looking forward to using her again.”
“Kathryn & Jeremy were great! Their house was cozy and friendly. Our corgi loved playing with their kids and he was definitely tired when he got home. They were great at communication and we felt our dog was safe. Will book with them again!”
“Andrea took very good care of my baby, i was so nervous leaving him with someone new. But i am glad i found her. My baby was well taken care off and he seem very happy. He was treated like a family member he was taken on car rides and he was allowed to sleep on the bed. I definitely will be booking with her and her family again.”
“Lisa was great with our young puppy. We couldn’t leave him alone in our house and we needed to find someone who would take him overnight in their house. She was easy to communicate with and let us know how our dog was doing. When we picked him up, he was happy and worn out from playing. We were glad he was safe with her and will definitely contact her again if we need an overnight dog sitter.”
“We cannot thank Judy enough for boarding our Charlie last minute. We had an issue with our normal boarding facility and Judy was so accommodating. She sent plenty of pictures and ensured Charlie had the best time ever. This was our first time using Rover and she made us so comfortable. She even taught her a new trick that has never worked for me before when I tried. Thank you Judy and I hope Charlie will be spending future dates in your wonderful care!!”

“This is the second time Megan has watched our senior cat Max while we were away on vacation. She’s very attentive to his needs and communicates well with us. Best of all, Max loves her company. I would recommend her services and would definitely work with her again in the future.”
“Krista came exactly when we needed (on short notice too) and was awesome company for our cat! Enyo got her food on time and had a clean litterbox, plus time to play with her toys. Krista also made sure to notify us of an appliance leak and help stop it from spreading while we were away, which was very much appreciated.”
“Rachel took care of Flapjack while we were out of town and did a phenomenal job. She provided daily detailed updates and multiple pictures, which we loved. Her updates gave us reassurance that he was well cared for. Rachel went above and beyond, bringing in our mail and checking for packages for us. We appreciate the peace of mind having Rachel as a sitter brought us, and will absolutely request her again in the near future!”
“Thank you so much for being patient w our Lily, Heather! We will definitely book again. You went above and beyond with communication and we couldn’t have asked for a better visit!”

“Andrea is great! She communicated throughout the entire process. She kept me informed on how everything was going. She sent pictures showing her interaction with Snuggles. Although, she wasn’t booked to care for the cat, she notified me of his mischievous behavior. I will definitely book with Andrea again. Thank you Andrea!”
About: I’ve cared for cats throughout my life and have watched cats for family members on multiple occasions. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, and giving cats the patience and space they need to feel comfortable. Whether your cat is social and playful or more independent, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away.
“What a pleasure it was meeting Katie and working with her. On a last minute booking she was easy to work with and took care of our furbaby as if Nugget was her own. I Highly suggest you book her! You won't regret it!”
“Linda was wonderful. She was attentive to my cat’s super particular routine. And left my home cleaner than how it was before my trip. Im an anxious mom and she gave me regular updates throughout the day. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my cat.”
“Lauren is amazing! She's meticulous and joyful with my dog Madeleine. Such a relief when I am away at work to known Lauren is coming to walk my girl and that Madeleine will have such a great day with her.”
About: I have been pet sitting for over 10 years. I will make your family member very comfortable in my home as if it were my own. I can also administer medication if necessary and go for nice walks. I work during the school year and I have summers off. I am available during the week and I am available on most weekends as well. I can be flexible with my schedule. I have my own home and a very nice yard to be outside in. I have very nice neighborhoods to walk in nearby and can go for walks daily. I have 2 older sons that are here in the evening when they get home from work that love all the dogs and will also give lots of love and attention! I have comfortable dog beds and lots of toys for them to play with. I also have a crate if your dog feels comfort in being in one and wants one to retreat to.
“Maryssa is awesome and so accommodating. She is great with our cat, and he loved her right away. She made us feel so comfortable to leave him in her care. After each visit, Maryssa sent plenty of photos and updates on how he was doing. I am so happy we went with her, and I will definitely book with her again!”
“Don't bother looking any further, book Kira right now! You will not regret it. Kira is reliable, communicative, and she treats your pet like her own (adorable!) pets. I love my cat but I know she is not very lovable or cute. Kira was so sweet to her during every drop-in visit. In addition, I was not super concise with my care instructions, and Kira reached out to ask questions whenever anything was unclear. Thank you Kira!!”

“Renata took such good care of our pup. She put her at ease when she was nervous. Once our pup settled in, she kept me updated and then captured all the fun moments of playing and silliness. Our girl had the best time and was exhausted from playing so much. Such a wonderful experience!”
“Very satisfied with the care of my puppy. Rosmery is a very kind person. My puppy quickly went crazy for her when she picked her up. I loved that she sent me photos while I was away from my Luna. My puppy was very happy when I came back to get her. —————————————————————- Muy satisfecha con el cuido de mi perrita, Rosmery es una persona muy amable, mi puppy rápidamente se volvió loca con ella al cogerla, me encanto que me envío fotos mientras estaba lejos de mi Luna, mi perrita estaba muy feliz al regresar a buscarla. THANK YOU!”
“I was very unsure of leaving my new puppy with someone, but I need yo say that Ricky is the best, he took very good care of Bailey and was very responsible, always updating me with pictures and letting me know how she was doing. She will be going back this weekend and will be definitely leave her there anytime I need. 100% recommend.”
“Very friendly, caring, and knowledgeable of pets. Gave a report at time of pick up of how he did, any problems that arose, and suggestion they could help if need be. My pup is hyper so her fenced in yard was perfect. He was happy and relaxed at pick up. Would I use her again? Absolutely, yes. He felt safe with her and that is what we want when leaving out pets!”
“Blue had a wonderful time playing in Betsabeth’s amazing backyard. She truly took care of him as if he were her own, and it was such a comfort to find someone I can trust with my boy for overnight stays. I couldn’t be happier with the experience.”

“Lauren is fantastic. She’s dependable, clearly loves dogs, and takes great care of them at daycare. My pup always comes home happy and tired from a great day. Highly recommend.”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of genuine care, attentiveness, and patience I bring to every pet I work with. I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I have experience with a wide range of pets, from energetic puppies who need consistent training and structure, to senior dogs requiring gentle handling, medication, and a slower pace. I’m confident in reading animal behavior and adjusting to their needs, whether that means helping a shy pet come out of their shell or keeping a high-energy pup mentally and physically stimulated. I’m also reliable, clean, and communicative with pet parents so you always feel at ease while you’re away. I’m currently home for the summer, which means I have lots of flexibility and time to dedicate to your furry friend! I absolutely love getting my steps in—so walks, playtime, and keeping your pet active are right up my alley. Whether it’s a game of tug-of-war, fetch, or working their brain with fun puzzles, I’m all about keeping pets happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated. What sets me apart is the energy and attentiveness I bring to every visit. I don’t just “watch” pets—I engage with them, connect with them, and make sure they feel safe and loved. Whether your pup needs structured walks or your senior dog needs a little extra care and patience, I’ve got them covered. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I make it a priority to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet can thrive. In my home, I keep things clean, cozy, and pet-friendly. I stick to your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—meals, walks, playtime, and even snuggle time. I make sure they feel like part of the family, with lots of attention, enrichment, and love throughout the day.
“We’ve been looking for an alternative to commercial daycare because our dog used to come home completely exhausted. With Janelle, we picked him up happy and relaxed, and I know he’d been well cared for all day, which made such a difference! She was very communicative and friendly, and we’d happily book with her again.”
“Lisa was the best dog sitter. She was friendly, kind, and communicative. She helped us out so last minute. She took great care of our little Hunter. This was my first time using rover and I would definitely recommend Lisa to anyone. She responded to my concerned mom texts and sent pics of our pup hanging out outside. Hunter was smiling, happy, and seemed worn out after his stay with Lisa. We cannot thank her enough for all her help. Thank you so much Lisa!!!!! ?”

“Isabel is excellent! She came over to meet the dogs in advance and left me with a ton of confidence that my dogs would be well taken care of. She provided constant communication including when she arrived, if they went to the bathroom, if she gave them treats (which I gave her permission to do), and when she left. I will definitely ask her to walk the dogs again!”
“Met Josh for an interview and he took his time coming through the door to make sure my dog was comfortable, that was great. We all went for a walk and chatted about what I was expecting as an owner and what was best for my dog. I hired him for a few walks to see how it went and everything was wonderful. Very respectful, sent photos and updated me when he arrived, walked and left. We are very happy to have someone so responsible and kind when we are gone from the house. Shorty says Hire Josh :)”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for many years through both pet ownership and pet sitting. I currently have a Springer Spaniel and a Labrador Retriever, so I’m comfortable with active, high-energy dogs and understand the importance of exercise, consistency, and routine.

As a teacher, I’m dependable, organized, and attentive to details, and I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. I’m a teacher and currently work summer school from 9:00 AM–1:00 PM on weekdays, which gives me plenty of availability in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends if messaged. During the school year, I maintain a consistent schedule and am available before and after work for drop-in visits, walks, and pet care. As a pet owner myself, caring for animals is already part of my daily routine, and I enjoy making sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and currently have a Springer Spaniel and a Labrador Retriever of my own. I always follow the routines and instructions provided by owners, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and crate training if needed. Whether caring for pets in your home or mine, I provide plenty of attention, exercise, supervision, and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Since I can remember I have always been around dogs and cats in my life, mostly rescues, who needed training and caring for. I currently pet sit for my family when they are away, and walk dogs for family friends. When I was a professional cleaner I encountered all breeds and ages of cats and dogs every single day so I am very comfortable around all types of pets. I especially love and have experience with pitty breeds as well as experience with some reactive cats and know what to do to gain their trust. When not taking care or animals, I am a freelance dancer and choreographer! I take dance class some evenings and may have a weekend show or rehearsals. Other than that, I am readily available especially during the morning, afternoons, and later in the evenings/overnight for your furry friends! Before we officially book, I will make sure we have a meet and greet so that your pet can get to know me as we talk about all your needs for my visit! Along with any of your pet's special needs, I will ask you to leave me with any emergency contact information just in case anything were to happen, as well as my personal contact info. I also will send you updates for your peace of mind as well as some adorable pictures of your pet(s)!

About: Hello pet parents! I find great fulfillment in caring for and nurturing your pets. Caring for pets also gives me a wonderful outlet to indulge my intense and immense love for dogs!

I have a family member living with me who is retired and stays home full time, so there will be at least one responsible adult looking after your precious pet(s) at all times!
About: I’ve loved animals since I was young, always being known to be the person who asks “Can I pet your dog?”. Having grown up living with and partially helping to train my grandparent’s standard poodle puppy at age 9, I knew then that I wanted animals in my life forever. Through the years I’ve done fundraisers for local shelters, looked after and groomed family dogs, given pet care advice, and for the last four years have worked professionally as a kennel attendant. My job has always been a joy to me, and despite its stresses I always tell people that caring for animals is the best job I could ever ask for. I’ve been able to meet and work with pets of all different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and abilities; from blind/deaf dogs, senior dogs, aggressive dogs, puppies/kittens, diabetic dogs and cats, and so many more. Each of them provides an invaluable experiences that teaches me patience, compassion, and communication. I’m now the proud owner of a 11 month old cat, Balrog, and of a 13 year old chihuahua, Mia. Though I am a full time student and a part time kennel attendant, I am able to be more flexible with my schedule over summer break. My current availability is as follows, Monday: Unavailable Tuesday: All day Wednesday: All day Thursday: All day Friday: All day Saturday: All day Sunday: Unavailable While I do not have any space in my home to keep animals at the moment, in a clients home I am happy to play with pets, let them out or go on walks, crate if desired, clean up any possible mess, and overall act as a safe and friendly part of a pet’s environment in any way possible.
About: For the past couple of years I have been pet sitting for a colleague and friend of mine and I absolutely love it. I have experience with dealing with dogs with some special needs and I am more than welcome to learn. The youngest I have had was 4 years old and then all the way up to 15 years old. Let me take the load off your shoulders and be able to take care of your fur babies. Though I love dogs, please know that I REALLY love cats too. I am catgirl at heart so please be rest assured that I will take amazing care of them as well. I used to have a feral cat, now with my loving parents 🐈. Currently I have three, so I also do know how it can be when not everyone gets along. Almost everyone in my life owns a cat, so I hope that gives some perspective :). So yes. I’m here for your dog.. but I am also here for the cat folks too 🐾. I have a very flexible schedule due to my job. It allows for myself to create my own schedule so it not only makes my life easier but could very well make yours too. Weekends I have availability and during the week it varies! I care for the pets in my own life allowing them to roam wherever they desire. Besides some closest but they always make their way .
About: I’ve spent the last three years working professionally in animal care, managing busy doggy daycares and looking after pups of every breed. Because of my professional background, I’m attuned to dog body language and safety. I love building bonds with each individual dog and making sure they get the exact structure, playtime, and love they deserve while you’re away!

“This was Lulu’s first time with Kristin and I had such peace of mind knowing how well cared for and loved she was while she was there by Kristin and her family. Lulu is a high maintenance girl with needing to eat several times a day as well as needing medications throughout the day. I provided a very detailed list that Kristin followed incredibly well because Lulu had no issues while she was there and I received daily updates and pictures of how she was doing. Additionally, Kristin was incredibly accommodating when my flight was delayed and I needed to come home a day later. I highly recommend her!”
“We highly recommend Ricky for your pet-sitting needs! He took great care of our older Yorkie. He provided daily updates and feedback, along with photos. The feeding instructions and medication were followed without any issues, and our little one returned happy and healthy. Excellent stay :-)”
“Katie took exceptional care of our golden retriever. She gave updates on how he was doing throughout the stay and asked great questions about how she could make him feel right at home. Excellent communication but most importantly a great family that treated our dog like their own. 5 stars!! Highly recommend!!”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Cotton. Christle did a wonderful job and kept me in the loop throughout the day. I truly appreciate her effort and will definitely ask for her help again whenever I need coverage.”
“Betsabeth and her pup Bear are absolutely great! Freya has definitely made new friends in them and gets so excited when I drop her off for the weekend-- I know she's being cared for well. Betsabeth is very accommodating and keeps me updated with pictures while I'm away :) I highly recommend her!”
“Kristin was absolutely amazing! As a first-time pet owner, I was nervous about leaving my 6-month-old puppy for three weeks, just two months after adopting her. Kristin went above and beyond, providing not only shelter, food, and affection but also invaluable training. She ensured my dog got plenty of exercise and even introduced her to swimming! Kristin sent daily updates with pictures and videos, keeping me constantly informed. When I picked her up, Kristin gave me a detailed report on everything—from her food intake (with tips on avoiding digestive issues) to her training progress. She even provided advice on making frozen treats and other ways to support her health. As a new pet owner, I was incredibly grateful for this guidance. This wasn’t just pet-sitting; it felt like a boarding school for dogs! Kristin, along with Mark and sweet Kaia, created an incredible experience for my dog. I can’t recommend her enough—she is the most knowledgeable, caring, and well-rounded dog sitter you could ever ask for.”
“Austin was fantastic about communicating both before and during our dog’s stay. He was great with her medications and making sure she was taken care of so we didn’t have to worry about her. She was one of the family while she was there. She’ll definitely be back”
“I couldn't have asked for better people to take care of my Rosie! Alan and Luis made me feel comfortable in leaving my dog with them for a short stay and sent me picture updates daily. Thank you for treating Rosie as one of your own!”
“Kathryn & Jeremy were great! Their house was cozy and friendly. Our corgi loved playing with their kids and he was definitely tired when he got home. They were great at communication and we felt our dog was safe. Will book with them again!”
“Lisa was great with our young puppy. We couldn’t leave him alone in our house and we needed to find someone who would take him overnight in their house. She was easy to communicate with and let us know how our dog was doing. When we picked him up, he was happy and worn out from playing. We were glad he was safe with her and will definitely contact her again if we need an overnight dog sitter.”
“I can’t say enough positive things about Allison! She was so wonderful with our dog and communicating with us through texts and pictures. I was able to fully relax on vacation knowing that Sonny was being loved and extremely well cared for. I cannot recommend Allison enough!”
“Janelle and her family were wonderful caretakes of our puppy. She is very attentive to his needs and gave him a lot of attention and love. He is very happy there and we would highly recommend Janelle!”
“Patrick and Susan provide a 10/10 service. They took our dogs on fun walks every day. Took plenty of photos to send with comprehensive daily updates. They treated our dogs like their own and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for pet services. We would trust them again in the future without hesitation”
“Kristen was AMAZING! She was so thoughtful in caring for our precious dog Islay over a holiday weekend. She was extremely responsive and sent daily updates too. She truly gave us peace of mind so we could enjoy our trip. No doubt Islay loved spending time with Kristen’s family!! We were so blessed to have found her and will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Wonderful experience with this team. Definately would plan to work with them again. Thoughtful and sweet. My pouch enjoyed his time with them and they were very responsive. Loved getting pics of my pouch while he stayed with them.”
“First time using Rover, and I couldn’t be happier! Frannie was recently boarded at a facility for one night, and after picking her up, I honestly questioned whether I’d ever board her again—until meeting Lauren. She provided a comfy, cozy home with plenty of room to run and play. She’s very personable and truly treats your dog like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Frannie was in such great hands! Thank you again❤️”
About: Ive been a dog owner all my life and have pet sat for many family and friends. Young or old, I love dogs and am ready to take care of your furry companion like they were one of my own. I am currently pet sitting full time, so I can watch your pet throughout the week or weekends as needed. Just walks are available throughout the day too. I have a fenced in back yard, as well as a medium sized crate for crating if needed. I currently don't have any pets of my own, but plenty of toys an activities for a fun doggy day! I also live close by a few parks and dog parks that can provide a nice field trip.
