“This is the second stay that our two pups had with Bruce, and it won't be the last. We found our "go-to" dog sitter. They received excellent, loving care. All of my instructions regarding feeding, supplements, meds, etc. were followed to a T. Detailed updates and photos were sent at least twice daily. It is obvious that Bruce loves being in the company of dogs. If you need to travel for business or pleasure and want total peace of mind, book Bruce. You will not be disappointed. Prior to booking with him for the first time, I read through hundreds of his five-star reviews. Very well-deserved! We are grateful that we found him.”

“Stephanie is a fantastic sitter/ second family to Cubbie. She is always so attentive, gives frequent updates (about his sleeping, walking and play mates at her house.) My husband and I call her summer camp for Cubbie. She is a wonderful person and extremely communicative. We have had Cubbie stay with her several times and she is our go to person. We can’t recommend her enough.”

“They are AMAZING!! My little dog Mochi loved them a lot and I can tell he had good time with them. Normally Mochi is very shy with other people. But right away when Mochi sees Nadine family, they are already being friends. They knows dogs well and find out very quick what doggy needs. Friendly, sweet, treat like family. Everyday send me a comment (condition of my dog, what is plan) with good pictures. It makes me feel so much comfortable. Best people ever! I will come back with them. Thank you so much!! ☺️”

Mariana went above and beyond my expectations! I not only got one or 2 photos a day, but I got updates on what she was doing, and even several videos of her being cute.

“Davon was amazing. I outreached very impromptu and he was available for a meet and greet with Arya. ( which went well. We reviewed the basics of her care and he made sure to get a full understanding of what is needed to make Aryas stay as comfortable as possible) drop off was nice. He has spacious living accommodations. What stood out is his willingness to work with Arya being that she is a Bully. There are a many false conceptions about this breed. With his family background working with bully’s and pitbull, and his love for animals in general, I had no concerns that Arya was in good care. During her overnight visit, he provided checks up and sent pictures for reassurance. He also introduced Arya to family and friends ( which I love ) being that she is not around other dogs or people, helping her socialize. Picking Arya up was easy. All items returned and she was happy ! I previously boarded her , and when picking her up she was distant, had scratches and limped !!! All in all, 5 stars for Devon. I recommend and will use him again. 🐾💕”

“Jessica is very responsive. We had her visit with our shy cat for 1 hour a day, for 14 days while we were in japan. Despite the significant time difference, we were able to communicate effectively when anything came up. She gave daily update and pics. The house was clean when we returned home. Jessica followed all instructions left for her. Jessica provided very important food monitoring (our cat gets very depressed when we are away, and sometimes stops eating, or even pukes it up sometimes). We really appreciate her efforts and attention to detail, it was well worth the cost for the 14 day 1 hour visits for our peace of mind. Much better experience working with Jessica through Rover than any other pet sitting service we have used in the past. She even brought in our mail for us. We hope to work with her again in the future.”

Whether that means going for walks, playing outside, getting some extra exercise, or simply relaxing and giving your pet plenty of love. I’m responsible, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely to keep their day as familiar and stress-free as possible. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different energy levels and personalities, and I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need.

Whether your pet is energetic and always ready for an adventure or prefers a cozy day filled with cuddles, I’d love the opportunity to care for them like they’re my own! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have consistent availability on weekdays before 5 PM, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with pets.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong cat lover who has shared my home with cats my entire life. I understand that every cat has a unique personality—some are playful and social, while others prefer a calm environment and affection on their own terms. I'll take the time to earn your cat's trust and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. In addition to caring for my own cats, I have experience dog sitting for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I'm also comfortable caring for pets with special needs, including administering medications and following detailed care instructions. As an educator, I've cared for classroom pets throughout my career, including fish and reptiles, and I also have experience caring for pet birds. Whether your family includes cats, dogs, birds, fish, reptiles, or other small pets, I'm happy to provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each animal's needs. I'm dependable, patient, and have plenty of energy for interactive play, enrichment, and long walks with dogs. For cats, I understand that sometimes the best care means quiet companionship, playtime with their favorite toys, fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and lots of love—on their terms. As a teacher, I'm organized, responsible, and an excellent communicator. I'll follow your pet's routine carefully and send regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your pets are in caring hands. I treat every pet as if they were my own and can't wait to meet your furry, feathered, or scaly family members!

About: I've been a dog owner for the last 20 years. All my dogs have been rescues, several have been shy dogs that needed extra TLC. I have a special talent connecting with shy dogs and helping them come out of their shell. I also love working with extroverted dogs who love to play and interact. I have a full-time mostly WFH job. I'm available for after-hour drop ins and walks, weekend visits, overnights, and boarding. I know how hard it can be to find petcare (especially during off hours) and I'd like to help with that. My home is safe and secure with a small fenced in backyard away from the road. I have two dogs to keep your pets company. I can help with crating your dog as well. Our home is quiet, serene, and private.

“Julia was absolutely amazing with my dog! She was so kind, caring, and attentive, and I could tell right away that my dog was comfortable with her. She kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. It is clear that Julia genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter.”

“Jordin was wonderful with my pup for a week of doggie day care. Leia has hip dysplasia and Jordin was very mindful of keeping her day active without being too much for her. She was very communicative and seemed to bond with my pup very quickly, and my dog was excited to get to her place every day. She arranged a meet up before the scheduled days to make sure she matched with my pup and was wonderful in asking lots of questions to make sure she could care for Leia and meet all her needs. 10 out of 10 recommend 😊”

“I'm so glad that I met Mari and wish that I had met her years ago to take care of my gentle boy, Logan! Mari is a wonderful individual, the kind of person who makes you feel like your soulmate pup will be in caring hands. She was flexible with our meet and greet & also when the original date changed. Mari is a calm, kind, friendly person who cares about the well-being of your doggo. :) She doesn't take on more than 1 dog at a time, which means your pup will get the extra attention they may need. This is reassuring in case one dog isn't a fan of other dogs or plays rough. Logan is 12 years in age & has slowed down due to a previous leg injury. It was important for me to leave him in a safe, calm space with an attentive, kind person. Mari's home was truly the right place for him! During Logan's visit, Mari kept me updated on how he was doing and sent plenty of cute photos. I really appreciate Mari's kindness with Logan & taking good care of him. I know that he felt good being with her. Thank you, Mari!!”

About: I bring over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. From newborn puppies to Yorkies, German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, and Great Danes, I’ve raised, trained, and supported dogs at every stage of life. I genuinely love what I do, and I treat every dog in my care like family, providing a safe, attentive, and nurturing environment you can trust. 🐾 Pet care is a natural and consistent part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to ensure I have plenty of time for walks, feedings, playtime, and one-on-one attention throughout the day. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to be flexible with different care needs, whether that’s early walks, midday check-ins, or overnight care. I also make sure dogs are never left alone for extended periods and receive regular supervision and engagement. Because I genuinely enjoy being around dogs, I prioritize creating a routine that keeps them active, comfortable, and well cared for while fitting seamlessly into my day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm, structured environment in every home I work in, whether it’s mine or my client’s. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that feels consistent and stress-free for them. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-safe space with plenty of supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, and playtime. I’m mindful of feeding schedules, allergies, and any special instructions to ensure each dog stays healthy and comfortable. Dogs are never left unattended for long periods, and I create a relaxed environment where they can feel at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick closely to their established routines to keep their pet at ease. I also provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away. With my 30+ years of experience, I’m attentive to behavior, quick to notice changes, and always prepared to handle situations calmly and responsibly. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and secure at all times.

“My dog Fox loved his time with Michael! Michael is communicative, attentive, and so accommodating. As nerve wracking as it is to leave your pet with someone new, Michael’s dedication and attention to his own dogs eased any nerves I had. My dog got to live his best life from morning to sundown, whether it be running with Michael’s dogs endlessly in the yard or going to the beach. He essentially had the best day at ‘summer camp’. If you need someone to care for your pet, don’t think twice and book with Mark!! So glad to have found our go to friends for Fox.”

About: What sets me apart is over 10 years of hands-on experience dog sitting, along with a deep sense of responsibility and care. I truly love animals and bring that same energy to every pet I look after. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, including seniors who need gentle, attentive support. I also have experience caring for elderly people, including my own grandmother, which has taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of routines. Whether it’s administering medication, giving extra cuddles, or sticking to a strict schedule, I’m all in when it comes to compassionate care. It fits into my daily and weekly schedule because I’m a stay at home dad with a lot of time on my schedule that would enjoy the company of a fur friend around that can keep me busy!! When pets stay in my home, I treat them like part of the family. I make sure they have a cozy spot to relax, stick to their regular routine as much as possible, and give them plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I keep my space clean, safe, and calm so they can feel comfortable, whether they’re staying for a day or a whole week. My goal is to make it feel like a second home for them. Also when taking them out I have a fenced yard as well as a front gate so there’s no running away or escaping on my watch!

About: Great to meet you! I have over 14 years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals ranging from dogs to cats to snakes, bearded dragons, and even ants (yes I know)... and the list goes on! Ever since I can remember, I've always loved animals (dogs especially). To fulfill my wish to have a pet, I began volunteering at a local animal shelter and would frequently visit just to spend time with some of the animals and give them some love. There, I was able to learn how to better care for our furry friends, both elderly and young. Being able to play with them was just a bonus for me! While your dog is with me they will have access to a big fenced yard to play in and enjoy. If you'd prefer them to stay in their natural environment, that's fine too! Whatever makes them most comfortable, I'm happy to provide. Every pet's needs & wants are different, which I take the time to acknowledge when caring for them. My top priority is making sure your pets are safe, loved, and content while you're away. Feel free to message me if you have any questions and I'd be happy to help! Thanks for considering me! I love to start our mornings off with a nice hike or walk at my nearby beach, typically about 2 miles. The afternoons will do a shorter walk and have some outdoor playtime. Ultimately, our day will be reflective of what your pups specific needs are. Working from home, your pets will get plenty of time and attention in my care! While boarding, they will have access to roam and play about in a fenced in yard under my supervision. Rest assured, I will take care of your babies as if they were my own. Making sure also to give you daily updates so you know your pup is well cared for!

About: I had a dog since I was in 2nd grade, for around 15 years. I have experience in young puppy care and senior dog care. Just getting into the Rover business, but eager of learn and would love to help! So I’m currently a 3rd Resident Physician at the hospital, so I do have more time on weekends to do sit ins and walks. I miss having a dog and taking care of one so this is my way to give back! I also can do late night sit ins or walks after my shift which usually ends at 630pm. I have an apartment with a doggy park and a pet cleaning and bathing area. The doggy park is fenced with toys and water. I’m great at following instructions and will take great caution and care in others home.

About: Caring for animals has been a constant part of my life. I grew up in a home that always had two dogs at a time, and before moving out, my family had raised six wonderful dogs together. From energetic pups to older companions, I’ve experienced the full range of what it means to care for dogs through different stages of life. I currently share my home with two special-needs cats, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs. Managing medications, monitoring behavior changes, and creating a calm, safe environment are all things I take seriously. My primary goal when caring for your pet is simple: I want them to feel happy, secure, and relaxed while you’re away. I also know how important peace of mind is for owners. I’m communicative, reliable, and happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and cared for. I treat every animal with gentleness, respect, and the kind of attention I would want for my own pets. I work remotely in IT for a nonprofit organization, which gives me a very flexible weekday schedule. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy having some furry company during the week. Whether that means a midday walk to break up my workday or a fuzzy companion nearby while I’m at my desk. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to structure my schedule around walks, feeding times, medication needs, or check-ins. Your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches, and you can expect consistent updates while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your routines and instructions carefully. I follow feeding schedules, medication needs, walking routines, and house rules closely so your pet’s world feels as consistent and familiar as possible while you’re away. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident everything is going smoothly. If your pet stays in my home, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. They will have their own dedicated space in my finished basement office that is clean, hazard-free, and separate from my cats. This allows visiting pets to relax without feeling overwhelmed, and ensures everyone stays safe and stress-free. The space includes a comfortable couch just for them, plenty of room to stretch out, and a calm environment away from household noise. I’m home during the day, so they’ll receive regular supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention, balanced with quiet time to rest.

About: Hello there. I have been boarding dogs for over 10 years and have many regular customers. Before that I always had a dog. I am a dog lover that will treat your dog like my own. I have decided not to board dogs and stay at owners home from now on. Also I do dog walking. Safety is my number one priority while dog sitting and dog walking. I also take the dogs for daily walk. You can relax and go on vacation and know your dog is well taken care for. I send updates via text with pictures and videos to my customers so they can be sure their pup is having just as fun during his week as the client is. Looking for a mature, responsible house sitter, that does it all... look no further, send me a text. Look forward to hearing from you! I work another job part time so I am flexible when it comes down to scheduling walks or dog sitting overnight. I only work 20 hours a week I make sure dogs are well fed and get plenty of exercise. I spend at least a half hour with the dogs from drop in visits

As an athlete who enjoys fitness, health, and spending time outdoors, I love bringing that active lifestyle into pet care! Whether that means going for walks, playing outside, getting some extra exercise, or simply relaxing and giving your pet plenty of love. I’m responsible, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely to keep their day as familiar and stress-free as possible. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different energy levels and personalities, and I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I also understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so communication and reliability are priorities for me. Whether your pet is energetic and always ready for an adventure or prefers a cozy day filled with cuddles, I’d love the opportunity to care for them like they’re my own! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have consistent availability on weekdays before 5 PM, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with pets. I’ll provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where I can keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, exercise, medications, and any other specific needs. I’ll also make sure your home is treated with care and respect while I’m there.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. I take the time to learn their individual personality, routines, and needs rather than treating every pet the same. I’m patient, attentive, comfortable with both cats and dogs, and experienced with keeping pets on their usual feeding, play, and potty schedules. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I work part-time, typically between 10 AM and 6 PM, which gives me flexibility before and after work for pet care. I’m able to plan visits around my work schedule and provide consistency. In my home I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can relax and feel at home. For dogs, I have a fenced in backyard where they can safely play, run around, and get some fresh air. For cats, I have a cat tree, cat beds, and plenty of toys for enrichment and stimulation. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual routine and care instructions as closely as possible, making sure they feel comfortable and secure in their own space.

About: I am an experienced pet sitter who has cared after both cats and dogs over the last 8 years. Through either personal favors for loved ones in my life or paid opportunities, I give all animals the time, energy and attention they thrive off of (which sometimes can be a less-is-more situation)! I will strive to make it a stress-free experience for both you and your little one! I do request that we have a Meet & Greet before finalizing bookings to ensure your I can get all relevant information and learn about the pet I'll be looking after. If I seem like a good fit we can get a booking finalized, I will be consistent with messages and updates for you, as well as enrichment and care for the furry friend! For the time being, my schedule is largely open after September 9th. Let me know what your ideal pet sitting situation looks like and I can likely accommodate. I am happy to follow the rules and routines you have set for your pets. I don't have any of my own and would prefer to keep animals at their place of residence for their comfort. If I know an animal and they are comfortable with me, I would reconsider for future sittings after an initial experience.

Also I have family members who love dogs and will give plenty of love and attention to your pet so they feel cared for. My backyard has a huge dog cage just in case for separation if anything. Lastly I currently have no pets so no jealously will happen.

About: I can’t remember a time when a dog wasn’t in my life. I love pups and I can love yours too! Taking dogs on walks and taking care of them throughout the day, I will be able to create a bond and relationship with your pup to give them the stimulate they need throughout the day. I trained my now 7 year old mixed lab, who was not an easy puppy; but through much consistency in training she is a well behaved dog who can walk on leash very well and listen to 10+ commands. I grew up with German Shepherds as well, so plenty of experience with big dogs. In high school, I volunteered over 50 hours at our local animal shelter, finding myself walking dogs, cleaning their kennels, giving them food and doing the 24/7 care for them I’m a current student in university so in between classes throughout the days I am available to give your pooch a nice walk and breeze from the great outdoors. I go at the pace of the dog and always carry poop bags and water in need of rest. I will be sure to give plenty of snuggles and affection to your pup! I can also double leash when walking in case of emergencies if the client wishes.

About: I've had dogs and cats as long as I can remember through my childhood and adult years. They are such a joy to care for, and add so much to our lives as humans. These furry friends are important and deserve the best of care. We enjoy caring for pets - they add so much joy to our lives! There is always something fun going on around here, and the more the merrier! ☺️ I have a small fenced backyard, and two daughters who adore animals. We have a chihuahua-pug and an orange tabby cat, as well as some backyard animals - chickens and rabbits! 😊

About: I have expierence handling dogs of all sizes and breeds. I have always had a love for dogs and after receiving my first pup at the age of 5 I knew I always wanted to be around them. To me a dog is family and I treat them like so. I'm not just a sitter or a walker I'm more of a best friend your dog will always have. My goal is to build a bond with your dog so they trust me. I will treat each and every one with respect and I will bring happiness. Dogs need a reliable companion, a person who is willing to put in the time and effort to build a relationship with them and learn about the qualities that make them different. I am that reliable companion your dog needs. Hope to see your fury little friend soon. I primarily work from home and make my own schedule which gives me the availability, flexibility and opportunity to manage a weekly routine for pet care. I utilize leashes, dog parks and fenced in yard spaces. I utilize crates provided by the pet parent to ensure a safe and trustworthy environment.

About: I have had multiple dogs in my lifetime from puppyhood to their senior years, so I am familiar with care needed at every stage, including medication, diapers, or urinary wraps. Aside from my own pets, I have boarded and pet-sat many dogs with varying personalities, and I pride myself on being able to meet each one where they’re at. I work a flexible job that offers work-from-home hours, so I can shift my schedule to give your dog the care and attention it deserves! I have a backyard that is about 85% fenced, and live near several parks and hiking trails if your dog prefers an active lifestyle. I can also accommodate low-energy dogs who prefer to lay inside all day! I have a medium-sized crate in my home, but don’t mind dogs who prefer to stay out or join me on the furniture. I have my own dog, but he will not be with me for the month of July, so your dog can enjoy plenty of toys while being the center of attention :)

“This is the second stay that our two pups had with Bruce, and it won't be the last. We found our "go-to" dog sitter. They received excellent, loving care. All of my instructions regarding feeding, supplements, meds, etc. were followed to a T. Detailed updates and photos were sent at least twice daily. It is obvious that Bruce loves being in the company of dogs. If you need to travel for business or pleasure and want total peace of mind, book Bruce. You will not be disappointed. Prior to booking with him for the first time, I read through hundreds of his five-star reviews. Very well-deserved! We are grateful that we found him.”

“They are AMAZING!! My little dog Mochi loved them a lot and I can tell he had good time with them. Normally Mochi is very shy with other people. But right away when Mochi sees Nadine family, they are already being friends. They knows dogs well and find out very quick what doggy needs. Friendly, sweet, treat like family. Everyday send me a comment (condition of my dog, what is plan) with good pictures. It makes me feel so much comfortable. Best people ever! I will come back with them. Thank you so much!! ☺️”

Also they were extremely understanding and flexible when I had to pick him up a little late due to my return flight getting delayed. Will definitely be using them again!”

Mariana went above and beyond my expectations! I not only got one or 2 photos a day, but I got updates on what she was doing, and even several videos of her being cute. I cannot say enough good things about the time and attention Mariana gave my dog and me! I will absolutely board with Mariana again the next time I go out of town!”

Our bulldog is quite stubborn with several medical conditions and she administered all medications and went above and beyond so we can travel without him for the first time in 4 years. Cassandra sent us daily updates and was very quick to respond to us and helped put our minds at ease while away.”

It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for while we were away. When we picked Jax up, it was obvious he had an amazing time. He kept going back to them for hugs and affection, which spoke volumes about how comfortable and loved he felt in their care. We will definitely be using their services again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, attentive, and trustworthy pet sitters!”

“Davon was amazing. I outreached very impromptu and he was available for a meet and greet with Arya. ( which went well. We reviewed the basics of her care and he made sure to get a full understanding of what is needed to make Aryas stay as comfortable as possible) drop off was nice. He has spacious living accommodations. What stood out is his willingness to work with Arya being that she is a Bully. There are a many false conceptions about this breed. With his family background working with bully’s and pitbull, and his love for animals in general, I had no concerns that Arya was in good care. During her overnight visit, he provided checks up and sent pictures for reassurance. He also introduced Arya to family and friends ( which I love ) being that she is not around other dogs or people, helping her socialize. Picking Arya up was easy. All items returned and she was happy ! I previously boarded her , and when picking her up she was distant, had scratches and limped !!! All in all, 5 stars for Devon. I recommend and will use him again. 🐾💕”

Thank you Jieun, Matth and Ollie for treating moochie as your own for a few days ❤️so thankful 🙏🏼❤️”
