“Sylvia was great with Tazzy. She was very thorough on our initial meet and great, and had her notes ready when we brought Tazzy for her weekend getaway. We felt very comfortable leaving her in good hands.”
“Carlie was a pleasure to work with and was super communicative with me for our Goldens care...She was also flexible and understanding when an unexpected sickness arose (which was not related to her care in any way) Would recommend her and will use her again for sure!”
“I’m very happy with the care provided by Megan. She’s very much in tune with dog personalities and likes/dislikes. She has a young daughter who is also in tune with dogs and is a good playmate. Megan was flexible and responsive with communications, sending pictures. I’d be very comfortable asking for help again in the future.”
“I found Kelly in a moment of desperation when I needed a last minute sitter for my fur baby. Not only was she quick to respond but also came to meet my recent rescue before hand. I had never used a River sitter before and after meeting her in person and learning about her vet tech background I was confident she would take great care of my girl. She sent me daily pictures and updates and took excellent care of Zoya for me while I was away. I will 100% be booking her again!”
“Jessica was great. She responded very quickly on very short notice. Felt very good dropping Leif off and Leif looked great picking him up. I would use this boarder again in the future.”
“We were very pleased with Cory, he kept me informed of how teddy was doing. Even though Cory has cats and teddy was not a fan of them he handle the situation great. !!!!!”
“Mary Sue did a wonderful job watching Schatzi, as always! She even supplied us with chicken and rice because our dog ended up having some loose stool towards the end of the stay. We really appreciate her help and caring attitude. Thank you!”
“Michelle was very attentive to our dog Mickey and took him on many walks which they both enjoyed. We loved getting lots of photos of Mickey and, when we picked him up, he was brushed so nicely that he almost looked groomed.”
“Debbie (and Tim) were so welcoming to our Jackson during a family beach trip. We were in need of sitting and boarding for a week and were lucky to have found them. They were easy to communicate and coordinate with for drop-off and pick-up. We even got a great tip from them to visit a local preserve with walking trails for Jackson (and kayaking on the Bay for our kids). Most importantly, Jackson had a great time with both of them. He didn't even want to leave 😂! Thanks for making his stay so wonderful and look forward to coming back on a future trip!”
“Our experience with Colleen was truly outstanding! From the very beginning, she demonstrated a level of professionalism and care that immediately put us at ease. It was clear that her top priority was Storm's well-being and comfort. Colleen took the time to ask thoughtful, detailed questions to fully understand Storm’s needs and personality, which spoke volumes about her dedication. Her home is not only beautiful but also a calm and welcoming environment—Storm settled in with ease. We felt confident and reassured knowing our dog was in such attentive and loving hands. Colleen went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend her to anyone seeking top-notch, compassionate care for their furry family member! Thank you so much!”
“Thank you Kendra for taking such great care of Lucy for us. Kendra was amazing. She came through last minute for us and we can’t thank her enough. We could immediately tell when we meet her that Lucy was already so comfortable with her. She kept us informed each day of how things were going and was absolutely wonderful and so easy to talk and work with. We definitely plan on using her in the future.”
“Robert was fantastic with Gracie. He sent pics and updates several times a day. She came home exhausted so I know she was played with A LOT while she was with him. He truly loves dogs, I highly recommend him!”
About: Growing up in a home filled with the joyful barks of dogs and the gentle chirps of a parakeet, my love for animals started early. For over a decade, I've been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, caring for everything from playful pups and curious cats to turtles and farm animals. My passion doesn't stop at basic care—I'm an adventurer at heart and love taking dogs on outdoor escapades. Whether it's a leisurely walk through the park or a thrilling hike in the hills, I'm here to ensure your furry friend gets the exercise and excitement they crave (couch potatoes welcome too) and treat them like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work remotely with only an occasional in-office day (about once a quarter), so I’m home most of the day. I only leave briefly for the gym or occasional errands, allowing me to provide plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet like family and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. Since I work from home, dogs get plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and provide regular photo updates for owners. My friendly, fully vaccinated dog enjoys having canine visitors, and introductions are always done safely.
“Lori takes such great care of our labradoodle. She’s been a lifesaver for us when we need to go out of town and leave our furry friend at home. It’s comforting to know she’s in such good hands. Thanks Lori!!!”
“My dog was a little on edge due to the new environments at Jenna's home when I first dropped him off. But not too longer after I left, I received a photo of him lying on her lap as content as could be.”
“Kelly was very professional and communicative through the entire stay. She even took the extra step to have an additional helper as she knew this would be our puppy’s first overnight stay and wanted to make his stay as comfortable and safe as possible. We really appreciate all the photos she provided and so happy Finch had the best time! We can’t recommend her enough. Thank you!”
“Hands down one of the best sitters out there-period! Not only did Samantha agree to board my two dogs on short notice, she went above and beyond to care for one of them who unexpectedly obtained additional medical needs the night before my travel. What could have been an incredibly stressful (or non-existent) trip became one of the most stress-free trips due to Samantha’s care. I received daily updates (with photos/video) and I’ve never seen my dogs so happy away from home. She’s got a spacious fenced-in yard and a well-maintained area for the dogs to play and stay. I couldn’t be happier or more thankful for Samantha’s care. Book her now-you won’t find anyone better!”
“Michele who was recommended by a neighbor, was absolutely amazing and I had no worries at all leaving my two pups in her care. Her home was filled with toys, doggie beds and plenty of room to roam and play. I could enjoy my daughters beautiful wedding and not worry about them, which was priceless. I will definitely being using Michele's services again! Highly recommend!”

“Very nice that Julianne took our last minute need for a cat sitter. Julianne did a great job taking care of our cats while we were gone. We appreciate Julianne very much!”
“We were staying at our family beach house for the month with our two cats and needed someone to care for them while we made a quick trip home for a couple of nights. We found Kasey on Rover and couldn't have been happier. As a fellow professional pet sitter, I especially appreciated her warm, confident demeanor at our meet & greet. She immediately put both us and our cats at ease, which isn't always easy to do. She kept us updated with messages and photos during every visit, and we came home to two happy, relaxed kitties. We would definitely book Kasey again and highly recommend her!”
About: I got my first kitten when I was 12 and from the first "purrrrrrrr" I was hooked! I love cats of all shapes and sizes and would be more than happy to help you care for your furry friend when you are unable to.
“We’ve used Melanie as our kitty caregiver for several years. She is exceptional! Our kitties know that we’re leaving them when our luggage comes out. They definitely know when I have ‘the chat’ with them. That we’re leaving them for a few days or a week or two. And that Melanie, ‘their step mom’, will be coming over to take care of them each morning and evening. She also pats, talks, and plays with each one💕 But wouldn’t you think our kitties would be excited when we return home? We get a quick “I’m happy to see you!” look and then naps begin again 😆. (I know. . . they are cats🤗).”
“Exceptional Care for Two Special-Needs Cats Jennifer provided outstanding care for our two cats during a three-day trip, and we couldn’t be more grateful. One of our cats is diabetic and requires glucose monitoring along with insulin injections twice daily. Our other cat has chronic kidney disease, so careful observation of food and water intake, litter box habits, and overall behavior is extremely important. Jennifer handled every aspect of their care with professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine compassion. She kept us informed with regular updates, closely monitored both cats, and quickly noticed even subtle changes in their routines and behaviors. It was clear that she treated our pets as if they were her own. Knowing that our diabetic cat was receiving accurate glucose readings and insulin injections on schedule gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. Caring for senior cats with medical needs requires experience, reliability, and dedication, and Jennifer exceeded our expectations in every way. We returned home to two happy, healthy, and well-cared-for cats. We highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and compassionate pet sitter, especially for pets with medical conditions. We will absolutely be booking with her again. — Valerie & Family 🐾”
About: I’ve been volunteering with an animal shelter since 2018, and still work with them today. I’ve dealt with many different temperaments, breeds, and sizes. Within the shelter and outside of it at our events, I’ve gained a lot of experience and confidence when it comes to kitties.
“Neena took amazing care of our pets while we were away on a trip. We received plenty of photos and updates and it was obvious that our cats appreciated the visits. Neena is a great pet sitter and we are absolutely planning to use her services again and also recommend her to anyone that needs an extra hand to help out with their pets.”
“Jenna was very responsive. She respected my home but more importantly she took care of my 2 kitties for about 10 days. She made sure all their needs were cared for (fresh water, food and clean litter). I felt good about leaving them with Jenna.”
About: Ever since I can remember, cats have been a part of my everyday life. I grew up in a home filled with love—and 10 to 15 cats at any given time. My family and I rescue stray cats, and it’s taught me that every cat has a unique personality and story. I have worked at various shelters over the years, so have had experience with all different kinds of cats. I truly believe every cat deserves endless love, patience, and a place to feel safe.
“Sydney is fantastic! She house-sat for us for five nights, caring for our elderly cat, Frankie, while we were out of the country. Frankie has medical issues that require frequent medication every 6–8 hours, and Sydney handled it all with ease. She had no trouble administering his pills and liquid meds and kept us updated with photos and messages at least three times a day. Knowing Frankie was in such capable hands made our trip much more relaxing. We will definitely ask for Sydney’s help again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“After another sitter canceled last minute, Emily was able to come in and watch my cats on short notice (over the holiday, at that!) She always did her check-ins in a timely manner and provided detailed updates. I’m very happy and would book with her again.”
About: I believe that dogs need walks!! Not just let out to go to the bathroom, but real physical activity! Dogs need to see the world around them - this makes there temperament better equipped to handle strangers and other animals. I have a sweet yellow lab who thinks she is human -- no, really!!!! My Jags wants to play all the time. She loves other dogs - we are a dog lovin family! I believe that giving dogs proper exercise is what may set me apart from other sitters -- Im a fast walker. I am a responsible adult who cares deeply for the comfort and well being of all animals!! Fresh water is a must as well. I can't wait to meet your pup! Thanks for considering me. I’m very flexible! I work from home and that allows me to be flexible with my schedule – thank you so much! I look forward to serving you! I care for each pet as my own- I love fitness and making sure dogs and cats get the care and attention they deserve and require!

“From the moment I met Colleen, I knew she would be a great pet sitter because my dogs immediately loved her!! I have a 2 year old Bernedoodle and 5 year old Bernise Mountain dog and Colleen welcomed them into her home like they were old friends! We happened to run into her while on a walk after we met and my dogs were so excited to see her. That told me everything I needed to know! I am one of those pet parents that is hesitant to leave my dogs with other people, but I feel so blessed to have found Colleen. I know I have found a true pet lover to watch my dogs if I must be away, and that gives me true peace of mind!!”
“Great communication! Clean and appropriate environment. Despite Axe's terrible anxiety, he loved Cory and never fussed one bit. We will definitely be using Cory's daycare again!”

About: I have had several dogs in my life through their entire life span. I recently lost my soul dog. Not ready to get another but because they bring me so much joy, I would love to take care of others. I have the time because I am retired. I also know the feeling of worrying that they are in the best care! I can assure you that they will be! I am retired for the most part. I teach yoga a few hours a week but I have plenty of time. I can take your dog for several walks, AM or PM. I do not have a fenced in yard but do have a very long leash to allow freedom in the yard. I also live in a great neighborhood with lots of dogs. My dog recently passed but we used to take lots of daily walks and had lots of interactions.
“Neena responded right away and was available and gracious in regard to my last minute request! Neena was great at communicating and Daisy was happy and well cared for upon pick up! Would definitely book here again!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats so I’m very aware of the care they need and I’m very passionate about keeping my pets happy. Right now I have 2 chihuahuas and a cat who I love unconditionally. In my free time I volunteer as a dog walker at the animal shelter to help those pets who are not as fortunate to be in a loving home. I would love to help keep your pets happy and safe while you are away. I’ve learned a lot through my work at the animal shelter on how to work with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Keeping pets feeling happy and loved will always be a big goal of mine because they deserve a good life. I work from home so I have a lot of flexibility during the day to take care of your dog or cat during the week! I currently have my own cat and he is very friendly towards all other animals including dogs of all sizes and ages that’s he’s met
“Extremely calm and knowledgeable. Knew exactly how to introduce our Boston Terrier to her own dogs. Everything went smoothly. Her home was immaculate and organized. She sent pictures frequently. Our dog looked extremely relaxed and happy in her home. She came home exhausted from playing in their large fenced in yard. I felt very safe, leaving our precious pup with Meghan.”
“So glad to have found Christina to take care of our dog Lucky during our recent trip to the beach. She's warm and friendly and took care of Lucky as if he were her own. She communicated promptly and clearly. She was so flexible with our vacation schedule and sent us adorable pictures of Lucky throughout the day. I'd definitely rebook with Christina, no question.”
About: I have always had pets in life (dogs, cats, rabbit, hamsters, fish) and even adopted a dog to live with me when I was in college. The majority of my experience is with dogs and it spans all sizes and breads (from an 8-pound Maltese to a 70+ pound American Staffordshire Terrier). Over the last few years, I have worked with several animal shelters and opened my house to foster pets in need. During this time I have worked to train puppies and taken care of pets that required special attention due to illnesses. I have recently retired and now have plenty of time to live the dream of caring for and playing all day with your fur children. I live on a pet friendly street (cul-de-sac) and my house is properly secure to keep pets safe (gates, crates if needed) and happily engaged in activities.
“Jessica is amazing with Fur babies. Very accommodating and professional. My Tug love going there. Its always a great day whenever he spends his day with her. Her dog Tashi is very good with other dogs. Tug's favorite retreat is his stay at Jessica's. Highly recommended 👌”
“I cannot say enough great things about Michele! She has given me my life back! I have two little rescues that are highly reactive and do not like anyone, so consequently I have been unable to leave them. After talking with Michele and getting a sense of her experience and patience with rescue.dogs such as mine I decided to give her a try...and it went beautifully! My dogs had a great time with her and loved her...and cannot wait to go back again! Michele is truly not just very much a professional but is gifted with animals as well.”
“Jacqueline and William were great! We made a last minute reservation and they accommodated our drop off and pickup times which needed to be flexible since we were going kayaking and uncertain how long it would take. Will definitely use them again the next time we are Trap Pond.”
“Add 5 more stars! I had some reservations Bob and Susan wouldn't care for my rambunctious 4 month old puppy the way I do. Boy was I completely wrong!!! Dead. Wrong. They were very patient and even gave me some recommendations based on their astute observations as a first time dog owner. They are very good with updates too which put all my anxiety about leaving my little peanut with strangers. They certainly overexceeded my expectations. As a dog sitter myself, I have high expectations and didn't have to worry one bit! I will be a return customer as I highly recommend them.”
“Margit and Bill are the best!! They went on bike rides with my active dog and treated her so well! They are very kind and great communicators. They loved my dog so well and went above and beyond in every way. I definitely recommend them!”

“We were first time users this past weekend. Our dog Jasper proved very difficult. Jennifer went above and beyond trying to bond with Jasper. She kept us informed of the situation. We appreciate her extra efforts ❤️❤️”
“I have had the absolute pleasure of entrusting my beloved dog, Kimchi, to the care of Iuliana, and I must say, she is absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, it was clear that Iuliana possesses an extraordinary love and understanding for dogs. Kimchi instantly connected with her warm and caring demeanor. Iuliana's genuine passion for dogs radiates in every interaction. I was particularly impressed by Iuliana's incredible flexibility and understanding. Despite a last-minute change in my schedule, she graciously accommodated the time change for the walk. Her willingness to adapt to my needs without any hesitation truly speaks volumes about her dedication to the pets she cares for. The detailed updates provided after each walk were heartwarming. It was evident that Kimchi not only had a great walk but also thoroughly enjoyed spending time with Iuliana. She ensured Kimchi received the exercise, love, and attention that every dog deserves. Iuliana's reliability and professionalism are truly commendable. Knowing that Kimchi was in her capable and caring hands put my mind at ease. She exceeded all my expectations, making each walk a safe and enjoyable experience for my furry family member. If you're searching for someone who genuinely cares for your dog as if they were their own and consistently goes above and beyond, Iuliana is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional care for their furry companions. Thank you, Iuliana, for your exceptional service and for being an invaluable part of Kimchi's well-being!”

Having fostered pets for a shelter for many years, I am able to administer medications when needed. From young to senior I can handle housebroken pets of all ages with love.

I love to walk and can take your pet out for long or short walks multiple times a day.

About: I love animals and I have experience owning and caring for dogs and cats of any age! I worked at a cat cafe for a year and have a cat of my own, so I am used to being around animals all the time and taking care of them. I also have experience caring for dogs with special medical needs. I am unemployed so I am available anytime. However, please try to request my services at least a few days in advance so I can plan my schedule accordingly. I will always treat your pet with the love, care, and respect I give my own animal and ensure that they feel safe and comfortable in my care.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me! My mom is a veterinary technician, and between her experience and having five dogs of our own (plus fostering dogs!), I've had the opportunity to be around all kinds of personalities, ages, and energy levels. I've also been dog sitting for over 10 years for friends, family, neighbors, and other pet owners. As a recent college graduate with a degree in Early Childhood Education, I'm responsible, dependable, and pay close attention to details. If your dog has a specific routine, I'll make sure to follow it! Whether it's feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, or extra cuddles, I'm happy to provide the care your pup is used to.

I follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special requests. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away, while also giving you peace of mind knowing they are in reliable hands!
“Highly recommend! We used Susan for 2 straight weeks to provide an extra walk for our golden retriever while my parents were watching her (we were away on vacation). Her communication was wonderful and put us at ease. Will definitely book her again.”
“Carlie was available last minute and we couldn’t have been more grateful. She was communicative and took lots of photos of our labs. I know our girls appreciated the let out and walk while we were out. Thanks again Carlie!”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, and parakeets, and my mom bred and showed dogs, so I learned early how important patience, consistency, and attentive care are for every pet’s personality and needs. As an adult, I’ve primarily cared for cats and currently have a diabetic cat of my own. I’m very experienced with glucose testing and monitoring, administering insulin injections, recognizing and managing hypoglycemic events, and giving calm, compassionate care to pets with medical needs. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets because I’m dependable, observant, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m recently retired, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. While I do travel occasionally, my trips are planned well in advance and I keep my calendar updated. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walking, and I enjoy helping pets stay comfortable in their normal routine and environment while their owners are away. I only provide care in the client’s home because I believe many pets feel safest and least stressed in familiar surroundings. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, and comfort needs so I can provide calm, reliable care while you’re away. I’m especially experienced with cats and pets requiring medical attention, including diabetic care, glucose monitoring, insulin injections, and recognizing signs of hypoglycemia. I treat every home respectfully and communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“I needed someone to walk and feed my very energetic dog on short notice. Dave was very responsive, communicated well, and sent photos. I was worried my dog might be stressed being left alone all day, but when I returned, he seemed great! I would definitely recommend Dave and will use him again.”
About: Hi everyone! My name is Cammie and I am looking to help you with all your pet sitting needs. Whether it is a short walk during the work day or overnight care while on vacation, I am here to give as much love to your pets as you do! I currently work from home, so my workday is very flexible! Whether it’s short walks during the workday or longer visits on weekends, my schedule is highly adaptable. I follow the owner’s instructions when caring for their animals. By providing a safe and comfortable environment, pets can maintain familiarity with their surroundings and routines, just as their owners would.
About: I was a Mom of 3 dogs, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust to take care of your pets. I currently work from home so that gives me the freedom to care for your pets. I can do morning, lunchtime and evening walks. I can do overnight stays. I will do a meet and greet to see what makes you and your pet comfortable. I will learn their schedule so I can keep them on their normal routine.
About: I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience in the pet care field, with a background that goes far beyond basic sitting or walking. I am licensed, insured, bonded, and background checked, and I also own and operate my own professional pet care business, which means I approach every booking with a high level of responsibility, professionalism, and accountability. My experience includes working in animal rescue and volunteering, where I cared for animals of all species, temperaments, and medical needs. I have extensive experience with puppies, senior pets, and special-needs animals, including those requiring medications, mobility support, or extra patience and structure. Through this work, I’ve developed a strong ability to read the body language and communication cues of different species, allowing me to understand when a pet is comfortable, stressed, anxious, or unwell. I pay close attention to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and routine, which helps me recognize early signs of illness or behavioral changes and communicate concerns clearly and promptly with pet parents. My background in rescue and professional pet care has taught me the importance of calm, consistent care , especially for pets who may not thrive in boarding environments. I am confident working with pets who need extra reassurance, individualized routines, or specialized care, and I always prioritize keeping pets comfortable and secure in their own home. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care that allows pets to feel safe and understood while giving their owners complete peace of mind. Pet care is not something I fit around another job. It is my full time profession, and I have intentionally built my daily schedule around providing reliable, attentive care for my clients and their pets. Because this is my business, I am able to plan my days with flexibility and prioritize consistency, routine, and comfort for the animals in my care. I am deeply passionate about both my work and the peace of mind it provides to pet owners. Caring for other people’s pets is something I take seriously, and I treat every visit with the same level of attention and responsibility I would expect for my own animals. With advance notice, I am available 24 seven for scheduled care, including overnights, drop ins, and extended visits. I also offer emergency visits for established clients when unexpected situations arise, subject to availability. This added flexibility allows my clients to feel supported, even when plans change. My goal is to be a dependable, long term care provider that pet owners can trust to be there when they need it most. When caring for pets in their own homes, I treat each space with the same respect and responsibility I would expect from someone caring for my own. I understand that inviting a pet sitter into your home requires a high level of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am licensed, insured, bonded, and background checked, and I also come with letters of reference that speak to my professionalism, reliability, and integrity. I am mindful of home security, privacy, and routines, and I follow all client instructions carefully. This includes locking up properly, respecting personal spaces, and maintaining a clean and orderly environment during every visit. My focus is always on keeping pets comfortable and stress free in familiar surroundings while ensuring their home remains safe and well cared for. Whether I am providing drop in visits or overnight care, I aim to create a calm, dependable presence that both pets and owners can feel confident about. My goal is to provide in home pet care that is not only attentive and compassionate for your pets, but also respectful, trustworthy, and professional within your home.

“Carlie was a pleasure to work with and was super communicative with me for our Goldens care...She was also flexible and understanding when an unexpected sickness arose (which was not related to her care in any way) Would recommend her and will use her again for sure!”
“I’m very happy with the care provided by Megan. She’s very much in tune with dog personalities and likes/dislikes. She has a young daughter who is also in tune with dogs and is a good playmate. Megan was flexible and responsive with communications, sending pictures. I’d be very comfortable asking for help again in the future.”
“I found Kelly in a moment of desperation when I needed a last minute sitter for my fur baby. Not only was she quick to respond but also came to meet my recent rescue before hand. I had never used a River sitter before and after meeting her in person and learning about her vet tech background I was confident she would take great care of my girl. She sent me daily pictures and updates and took excellent care of Zoya for me while I was away. I will 100% be booking her again!”
“Jessica was great. She responded very quickly on very short notice. Felt very good dropping Leif off and Leif looked great picking him up. I would use this boarder again in the future.”
“We were very pleased with Cory, he kept me informed of how teddy was doing. Even though Cory has cats and teddy was not a fan of them he handle the situation great. !!!!!”
“Debbie (and Tim) were so welcoming to our Jackson during a family beach trip. We were in need of sitting and boarding for a week and were lucky to have found them. They were easy to communicate and coordinate with for drop-off and pick-up. We even got a great tip from them to visit a local preserve with walking trails for Jackson (and kayaking on the Bay for our kids). Most importantly, Jackson had a great time with both of them. He didn't even want to leave 😂! Thanks for making his stay so wonderful and look forward to coming back on a future trip!”
“Our experience with Colleen was truly outstanding! From the very beginning, she demonstrated a level of professionalism and care that immediately put us at ease. It was clear that her top priority was Storm's well-being and comfort. Colleen took the time to ask thoughtful, detailed questions to fully understand Storm’s needs and personality, which spoke volumes about her dedication. Her home is not only beautiful but also a calm and welcoming environment—Storm settled in with ease. We felt confident and reassured knowing our dog was in such attentive and loving hands. Colleen went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend her to anyone seeking top-notch, compassionate care for their furry family member! Thank you so much!”
“Robert was fantastic with Gracie. He sent pics and updates several times a day. She came home exhausted so I know she was played with A LOT while she was with him. He truly loves dogs, I highly recommend him!”
About: Growing up in a home filled with the joyful barks of dogs and the gentle chirps of a parakeet, my love for animals started early. For over a decade, I've been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, caring for everything from playful pups and curious cats to turtles and farm animals. My passion doesn't stop at basic care—I'm an adventurer at heart and love taking dogs on outdoor escapades. Whether it's a leisurely walk through the park or a thrilling hike in the hills, I'm here to ensure your furry friend gets the exercise and excitement they crave (couch potatoes welcome too) and treat them like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work remotely with only an occasional in-office day (about once a quarter), so I’m home most of the day. I only leave briefly for the gym or occasional errands, allowing me to provide plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet like family and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. Since I work from home, dogs get plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and provide regular photo updates for owners. My friendly, fully vaccinated dog enjoys having canine visitors, and introductions are always done safely.
“Lori takes such great care of our labradoodle. She’s been a lifesaver for us when we need to go out of town and leave our furry friend at home. It’s comforting to know she’s in such good hands. Thanks Lori!!!”
“My dog was a little on edge due to the new environments at Jenna's home when I first dropped him off. But not too longer after I left, I received a photo of him lying on her lap as content as could be.”
“Hands down one of the best sitters out there-period! Not only did Samantha agree to board my two dogs on short notice, she went above and beyond to care for one of them who unexpectedly obtained additional medical needs the night before my travel. What could have been an incredibly stressful (or non-existent) trip became one of the most stress-free trips due to Samantha’s care. I received daily updates (with photos/video) and I’ve never seen my dogs so happy away from home. She’s got a spacious fenced-in yard and a well-maintained area for the dogs to play and stay. I couldn’t be happier or more thankful for Samantha’s care. Book her now-you won’t find anyone better!”
“Michele who was recommended by a neighbor, was absolutely amazing and I had no worries at all leaving my two pups in her care. Her home was filled with toys, doggie beds and plenty of room to roam and play. I could enjoy my daughters beautiful wedding and not worry about them, which was priceless. I will definitely being using Michele's services again! Highly recommend!”
“I can't recommend Brenda highly enough for her exceptional dog sitting service. I was initially worried about leaving my dog, with someone else, as I had never left him with anyone before. He's a recent rescue from a shelter, and his well-being is incredibly important to me. However, Brenda's approach and genuine love for animals immediately put my mind at ease. She treats the dogs as if they were her own, never locking them in crates, and her friendly, kind, and compassionate nature makes working with her a delight. Brenda's professionalism and courteous approach, coupled with her attentive and reassuring demeanor, created a stress-free experience, especially for a first-time dog parent like me. Her dedication to treating the dogs like family is truly commendable, and her service is rooted in compassion and professionalism. With Brenda, it feels like I'm leaving my dog with a trusted friend, not just a dog sitter. I will definitely be using her services again and again. Thank you, Brenda!”
“Our senior dogs were well taken care of! Communication was easy and location is conveniently close to the beach. Will use again! Thank you for your wonderful care!”
“We were very happy with Bob and Susan's care of our two Golden Retrievers while we were away on vacation for a week. We had recently relocated to the area full time and were in search of an in-home dog sitting arrangement similar to the service we had used for the last 9 years in Newark, DE. I searched many Rover profiles and Bob and Susan's profile and reviews made the drive from Bethany to Lewes worth checking out. We arranged the meet and greet and felt very comfortable then leaving our beloved dogs with them for the week. As noted in other reviews, recieving regular updates and pictures really helped us enjoy our vacation. I feel fortunate to have found Bob and Susan and will certainly be booking with them again.”
“AMAZING! Lacey absolutely loved being with Marvina and the entire group of new best friends! She played so hard every day that she literally collapsed every night and slept like a rock! It's so good to have her socialize with so many different types of animals! She doesn't even get opportunities to socialize with just dogs. BEST medicine ever. Marvina is an amazing individual. I don't know how she does it with the entire group of pets she has - but she always looks like it is just another day in paradise! What a wonderful woman. She loves our dog and treats her like one of the family. I can't imagine taking Lacey anywhere else!”
“McCray was great, will definitely use him in the future to care for my girl. She’s very sensitive, she does not like being away from her home. Well, we arrive at McCrays home for the 1st time ever, Rita jumps out the car and runs to the door, like she knows where she’s going! And when we returned after our trip to collect her, so excited to see our girl, she stared out the back window of the car as we drove away and she’s been moping around the house ever since we got home! Thanks McCray!”
“Neena was responsive, flexible, and helpful at all times. We booked Neena as we were taking a trip away from home and were boarding our two dogs for the first time. We found the whole experience straightforward and she went the extra mile to make sure they were both comfortable and happy during their stay. We would absolutely recommend Neena to anyone looking for quality pet care!”
“Paige was great. She was available on short notice and was accommodating to a weird drop-off time due to bad weather. She was attentive to my animals needs and it was obvious my pup had a great time with her. She sent tons of pictures and videos and gave comprehensive daily updates. I would absolutely recommend this sitter and will be using her again in the future.”
