“Loved having Susann and her family watch over my grandpa fur baby. She is super nice and sends you pictures with updates on how your doggie is doing. I would definitely recommend her!”
“We recently left our dog, Riley, with Christy for a week, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! From the start, Christy provided excellent communication, keeping us updated on Riley's well-being throughout her stay. During the week, Riley experienced a bit of an upset stomach, and Christy promptly informed us. She also suggested helpful remedies, like adding pumpkin puree to Riley's meals, which made a significant difference. It’s clear that Christy truly cares about the dogs she looks after. Riley seemed happy and well-adjusted when we picked her up, and it was comforting to know she was in such good hands. We would absolutely use Christy again for her dog-sitting services. Highly recommend!”
“Luke did an amazing job watching our dogs, Keke and Penny, over Mother’s Day weekend! He was incredibly responsive, sent us lots of photos and updates, and took such great care of our sweet girls while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We could tell Keke and Penny were happy, comfortable, and well-loved the entire time. We will definitely be using Luke again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Sam was a new sitter for us, as our regular sitter wasn’t available, but from the moment I booked with her, I knew June would be in great hands. June felt right at home the second I dropped her off, and I received multiple pictures each day showing all the fun she was having. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Sam took wonderful care of June, and I highly recommend her as a sitter.”
“Dobby’s first ever overnight stay couldn’t have gone any better! Caroline and her family are so kind and caring. She communicated throughout his stay with pictures and updates. When we went to pick up Dobby, while he was super happy to see us, he was also calm. This shows how good the staycation was!! Thank you so much for taking care of our furbaby ❤️”
“This was my first time using Rover and I love it . Denys was so nice and kind . She kept us always with and update and makes us feel secure . Thank you so much Denys for taking care of Choco . If you ever need a pet care Denys definitely is the one . ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️”
“Millie was great! She cared for Gracie as if she was her own. She sent us pics daily and kept up with her teeth cleaning and baths, ensuring Gracie was comfortable. Knowing Gracie was being so well taken care of allowed us to have a wonderful trip and peace of mind while away. We will definitely reach out to Millie in the future for any sitting needs :)”
“Andrea was a God send! My husband and I did and 8 day roadtrip through yellowstone and Grand Teton. She and her husband kept our maltipoo Joon. Joon made friends with their 2 dogs and had the best time playing the entire time. Andrea sent updates and pictures everyday and I felt so relieved to know she was in such good hands. We will be using her in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Karen has looked after our two dogs three times, she has always taken great care of them and they are happy to stay with her. She regularly keeps me updated which is great. I would highly recommend Karen.”
“Christina was so great with Clover! She sent me pictures and/or videos each day of the week. She looked so happy to be there. I highly recommend and will definitely have Clover return.”
“Mary is a wonderful pet sitter! I boarded my three dogs for 10 days with her & they were extremely well cared for. She has a very kind, gentle and friendly demeanor, lovely home and beautiful big backyard. All three dogs were happy, healthy, and very comfortable in their setting .I would highly recommend Mary!”
“Jennifer took great care of our Ginger! Being able to have a meet and greet before we decided to book was so important and we were thankful for. She sent pictures and videos while we were gone which helped relieve our worry of how she was handling our first long trip. Jennifer will be our first choice for our next trip!”
“Rita was a attentive and affectionate dog sitter and was perfect for my dog. I felt secure and very comfortable leaving my little jewel with her. I will use her again and would highly recommend her”
“I highly recommend Carmin! She provided Peter with a home away from home while we were on vacation. She sent pictures, videos, and updates so often I never had one worry or concern. Having Carmin care for our dog in her home was such a better option than boarding. I cannot say enough about how wonderful this experience was. We will be long time customers, 10 out of 10!!!!”
“Alexandra was great with my Milo. From the moment Milo met her he was excited!! She updated me with pictures while I was away!! Definitely would recommend Alexandra to watch your fur baby!! She was awesome with mine!!”
“Tisha was an amazing sitter! She was able to watch my dog at the last minute. London and Lilly had fun together and became couch buddies. Very communicative and sent pics 😊 Will definitely be booking with you again. Thank you so much!”

“Amanda was amazing!!! Our lil guy was well taken care of and we received so many great pics of him having fun and snuggling. Would definitely recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a sitter and of course would definitely love to have her sit for our fur baby again!”
“Can’t recommend Carli enough! Super communicative and took great care of my cats. I’m the type of person who’s very anxious about leaving my cats, but Carli made it a stress free situation for me and my kitties.”
“I needed to schedule a week out of town and my usual cat sitter was not available. I signed in to Rover and found Brianna within a week she came to my house for a meet and greet. Brianna was friendly and attentive and my 14 year old cat enjoyed her company. She kept me informed while I was away and sent several photos. Thank you Brianna. I’ll be calling again soon! :)”
“Just having moved to the area, it wasn’t easy finding the right pet sitter for our cat. Jenna was the perfect fit. My kitty received excellent care and Jenna kept us informed each visit. She’s very informed about cat care and her heart is truly in it. I will be booking her again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Jackalyn is an excellent pet sitter. She took care of our cat while we spent time at the beach. Not only did she make sure our cat was fed, but she also played with her, opened and closed the window blinds for her, and even brushed her. On top of that, she fed our fish and managed the aquarium light schedule in the morning and evening. Jackalyn demonstrated a genuine love for animals and consistently went above and beyond in caring for our pets. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Victoria has great communication skills, pays attention to detail and did an amazing job taking care of our two older cats (one requires meds around the clock). We were incredibly lucky to get her and look forward to working with her again as soon as we get the chance. Thanks again, Victoria!”
“Zach did a wonderful job with my anti-social spicy cat. Usually when I have a sitter watch her she comes running to the door screaming when I get home because she had felt so lonely when we were gone. Even though she didn't want pet, she appreciated Zach hanging out with her. Zach kept us updated with photos and went above and beyond asking detailed questions about preferences through out the entire experience. 10/10 would recommend for your pet sitting needs.”
“Ava was so helpful to me while I was away! She took amazing care of my kitty boy! I gone for almost a week and she sent me so many pictures which reassured me that my boy was well taken care of and was happy😊 the next time I go on vacation, Ava would be my first choice to book!”
“Shirley is the best. Not only is she an amazing person overall, but she’s the best pet sitter I’ve ever had for my 4 kitty cats. I was shocked that my one cat, who is usually terrified of new people, let her pet him on the second day! She really has a way with animals. You can tell she loves and cares for them deeply. While I was gone I got daily updates and pictures most days. Shirley really went above and beyond to care for my cats. She went over twice a day and hung out with them, let them out on the patio (which is their favorite thing ever). She even helped take out our trash and brought our mail in, which she didn’t have to do. I’ll definitely be a returning customer!”
“Sarah took my cat, Noah, on very short notice due to an unexpected family event. She was quick to respond, great with communication and was so friendly and reassuring that we knew Noah was in the right place. I highly recommend Sarah and will utilize her services in the future!”
“Evelyn is truly a gift 💝 It’s been such peace of mind to know, not only are my boys being cared for but they are happy to visit with Evelyn! They love her! Thank you so much! 🩵🩵🩵”
About: I have grown up with dogs of all shapes and sizes my entire life! I enjoy being around animals and love to take care of them. I own two female German shorthaired pointers who have TONS of energy! And that’s what I love most about them. I know how important it is to meet all animals exactly where they’re at temperament wise. I truly enjoy being around animals…more than humans sometimes! I look forward to getting to walk or play with your fur babies! I work a hybrid job, so I am remote 2-3 times a week where I am fully home all day with my pups. On the days I go into the office, my partner comes home during lunch to let our dogs out. On weekends, I am home full time as well. I have a big fenced in backyard perfect for activities! My own pups love to run around and play fetch back there. Dogs are allowed in furniture and to sleep in the bed in my house.
About: My first experience with cats was at 12 when my sister brought home a 2 week old stray she had found on the side of the road who soon became an essential part of the family. Since then I've had a great love and respect for these cutie pies. Although I never decided to adopt one of my own, my sister often calls me to take care of her (now 4) cats and one dog when she leaves town and I LOVE when that call comes!
“Gina is such a wonderful person. She is absolutely great with my cat. Gina is so kind and caring for her. She is very reliable and Luna is always excited to see her! There is no one I would trust more with my furry baby than Gina.”
“My cats and I could not be happier. I was able to take a guilt free vacation and the cats avoided having to go to a kennel. I will definitely rebook Debbie next time I go away.”

“Irene is a rescued dog who has been with us for over a year. She’s naturally skittish and gets stressed easily, so finding the right person to care for her was very important to us especially after the loss of our beloved Sophie, who was with us for 14 years. Before choosing a sitter, my husband and I carefully reviewed several Rover profiles, and Rita’s immediately stood out. We were drawn to her empathy and experience with rescue dogs and those with medical needs. After a meet-and-greet that went very well, we felt confident giving it a try. Over the past few months, Irene has been in Rita’s care several times, and each visit has only reassured us. We can see that Irene is becoming more comfortable, which speaks volumes about Rita’s patience and compassion. She keeps us updated with pictures throughout the day and always sends a detailed report card afterward, which we truly appreciate. Rita is kind, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to the well-being of the dogs she cares for. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver for their beloved pet. 🐶”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for a wide range of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I also worked in a dog kennel where I helped manage and care for 25+ dogs, which taught me how to stay calm, attentive, and handle different energy levels and personalities. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog is playful, shy, high-energy, or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to follow their routine and give them the attention they need. I take pet care seriously and always aim to be dependable, communicative, and respectful of your home and your pet’s needs. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. My daily routine is super pet-friendly—I do all my homework from home, so your pet will have company and attention throughout the day. I also work out in my garage, which means I’m never far away and can easily take breaks for playtime, walks, or cuddles. I’m homebody at heart, so your furry friend will always have someone around to keep them happy, safe, and loved. In my home, I treat pets like family—giving them a cozy, calm space where they feel safe and loved. I keep a consistent routine with plenty of playtime, potty breaks, and snuggles, and I always follow any special instructions you provide. When I’m in your home, I care for your pet the same way I would my own—respecting your space, keeping things tidy, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s sticking to their feeding schedule, going on their favorite walking route, or giving belly rubs just the way they like them, I make sure they feel right at home.

“I made a last minute decision to have my pup go to doggy day care for the week while my other two dogs recovered from surgeries. Denys responded to my request quickly and was able to accommodate our times which I really didn't think anyone would do. She is a great person and my dog loves her and her whole family. My pup came home happy and tired every evening and she kept me updated throughout the stay. Denys did a great job keeping up with Furia's potty training, I think she may have actually gotten my pup to be better about going outside. I never worried about my dog and any time I did text I got a quick response with plenty of updates. I really enjoyed chatting with Denys, she is so sweet and I can tell she really loves what she does. I would absolutely recommend having her watch your pet, I know my pup had no shortage of attention over there and I really like that.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Mia! She is highly communicative, kept me updated throughout the day, and sent lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Mia had an incredible day and came home happy and tired—which, as every dog owner knows, means she had a great time! Sarah also went above and beyond by accepting not one, but TWO last-minute bookings for me, which I truly appreciated. It’s clear that Sarah genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and Mia was so comfortable and happy with her. We’re both very happy customers, and Mia is already excited to go back tomorrow! 🐾🐾🐾 Thank you, Sarah! We highly recommend you to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional Rover sitter.”

About: I’ve taken care of everything from Great Danes to Shih Tsu and numerous cats. Most of my clients are repeat customers. My passion for animals comes through the way I care for them I work full but my daughter 15 and son 13 after school help me with the pets with whatever it needs to be done. I’m free on the weekends to care for the pets. I live in a 3 floor townhouse. The senior pets stay in the first floor where my bedroom but they are free to go up and down the stairs as they please. The young ones in the second floor where then can run if they please. The pets can sleep on my bed, or around my bedroom or my sofa. I want them comfortable as possible.
“Kristina IS AMAZING! Stop looking and book her. Her house is very clean, her yard is big, and she is super sweet with my baby Tank. She sends pics throughout the day and contacts me immediately if she has any concerns. I love taking Tank to her and he loves to play with her beautiful dog Lucy. THANK YOU KRISTINA for being so amazing!”
“I liked everything. The dog seemed calm after I picked her up. Elyscia sent photos and responded to my requests and messages quickly. Her dog seemed very friendly.”
“Adriana is truly an angel! She was able to help me out on my daughter’s wedding weekend after the pet sitter I had booked, back home, forced me to bring my two dogs with us to the hotel. I was blown away by her kindness, organization, and empathy. And best of all my dogs were happy, calm, and safe! I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter, a friend, and as an angel to anyone! Book her without hesitation!!!”
“Carmin was a superb Doggy Day Care host. I can see why she's booked all the time! Aside from the dogs enjoying themselves, she's a great communicator—always prompt in returning messages, and sending lots of photos, as well. We hope to see her again—if she has an open date!”
About: Caring for pets has always been a part of my life! I’ve grown up with dogs at home and have looked after them with love and responsibility. Friends and family have trusted me many times to care for their pets while they’re away, whether it’s feeding, walking, or simply spending quality time playing and keeping them company. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently not working a traditional job, which allows me to have the time and flexibility to care for pets with love and attention. I’m looking for a job that brings me joy and purpose, while still giving me the freedom to be there for my family. When I care for pets in their own home, I always aim to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or any special needs they may have. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and never alone. I also like to keep pet parents updated with photos and messages, so they can feel at ease knowing their furry friend is in good hands.
About: I pet sit small to medium dogs in my home and yours if needed. I walk, exercise and play with them. Spend quality time with them. I do not cat sit in my home. I will go to your home and look after your cat. Litter change, feed and spend time with pet. As I mentioned, I do not sit cats in my house but I will visit your home and care for your cat in their environment.
“Brittany was a quick to respond to my questions and was very accommodating on my last-minute request. Once I met her, I felt relieved I had decided to bring my Chico along and leave him with her for the day while I went to an appointment. He was obviously in good hands.”
About: I have taken care of my own dog as well as watched over others pets since I was 12. I used to have my own dog walking business in my neighborhood! I am currently a graduate student who spends a lot of time studying & working from home, so my schedule is very flexible and allows for lots of puppy time! I have my own dog, a very friendly and energetic Lab mix named Winston. I also spend a lot of time with my parent’s dog, Maya the border collie. They would be happy to play with any other friends, but it’s not a requirement!
“Rolando was great ! She sent me picture and videos through out the day. My 4 month old golden retriever has a great time . He had a lot of space to run and roam . My pup had a great time! Thank you so much for letting him spend the day with you . I will definitely have him stay with her again .”
“Sadie and Bentley had an awesome time at Lisa's. They got along great with her dog Rocket and chased each other in her enormous yard. Lisa sent me videos and pictures so we could see how much fun the pups were having.”
About: Paws & Claws Pet Care of Lake Mary I am mom to an adorable 18lb pup who I raised using the positive reinforcement method. In addition, I've always had pets since I was young. On most days I am currently available for drop-in visits from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm Monday to Friday. On Saturday and Sunday I have more flexibility. In June 2026 my schedule changes to Thursday and Sunday with open flexibility and 9:30 am to 10:00 am on Monday to Wednesday and Friday to Saturday. Safety is a priority for me. For boarding, dogs must have updated vaccines, be clean, and free of fleas, worms, mites, etc. During boarding with more than one dog, I always make sure that the new dog gets along well with the other dogs before the pet parent leaves. It’s best to know your dog’s personality. If your dog shows signs that they do not respect other pets boundaries even during play then group boarding may not be the best fit. For everyone's safety, health, and happiness, if the dog does not get along then the pet parent may need to make back up arrangements. For best practices, parents should always have a back up option in case things don't work out or if there is an emergency. To prevent the risk of dogs not getting along, the pet parent can offer to buyout the sitter at their full capacity. Other best practices to consider: For pups who are sensitive to minor sounds, it may be best to book them with a sitter who lives in a house versus an apartment. For dogs who are prone to potty accidents or excessive drooling, it may be best to book them in a home that has wood floors versus full carpeting. Pups who don't like to share attention would match best with sitters who except one dog at a time. Pets who have extremely high energy may be happiest with sitters who have a fenced in yard for them to run around freely.
About: If you want your dog well cared for and worn out when you get back, you have found your pet sitter. My backyard is perfect for play time and my house is made to feel like your dog's second home. Sadie loves having friends over to play! I work from home most days of the week. Our morning starts between 6-7 with a potty break and breakfast. Normally the dogs get to play outside at least 4 times throughout the day. Dinner is normally around 5-6. Last potty break is about 9pm. Like people, all dogs have different needs and personalities. I am able to adapt to what your pup may need. ***there is an extra $5 a night fee for unneutered males that will be calculated after the terms are agreed to

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and passion for pet care. As a pet parent to 4 dogs and 2 cats, I understand that pets are family and treat every pet as if they were my own. I truly love pet sitting and providing a safe, loving, and reliable experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I play soccer, and my practices are typically from 9:30–11:30, but I'm available for visits before practice and anytime afterward. I'm flexible and happy to work with your pet's schedule to make sure they receive the care and attention they need! I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my client's home, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I also make sure to keep owners updated with messages and lots of cute photo updates. I treat every pet as if they were my own and my goal is to always create a safe, caring, and stress-free environment while their family is away.
“With last minute vacation, we found Jackalyn and we love her and Chubbs adores her. Jackalyn is reliable, professional, and genuinely loves dogs. It's comforting to know that Chubbs is cared for like one of their own. The updates, photos, and attention to his needs give us complete peace of mind. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to care for your furry family member, I highly recommend them. Chubbs absolutely adores his walks, and we are so grateful for the wonderful service”
“Addie has been great with my boy Jax. Sends pics and has been super helpful with last minute bookings😊 She even set his fan up to make sure he cooled down after his walk, which was super sweet! Thanks Addie!”
“Sarah was so great with our big 90lb fur baby! Our dog can be intimidating to some and he is particular about who he likes. Sarah was a perfect fit! It was such a peace of mind to get photo and video updates while we were away for the day. Sarah went above and beyond in her care - even brushing his fur! Highly recommend!”
“Ava was great with our puppy Sadie, she took great pictures and was a great communicator! She was on time every day for the specific times we needed and our pup enjoyed the walks and the attention she provided. We be booking again when we need to!”
“Elly was absolutely amazing with my 2 dogs. Great communication and my dogs loved her. She helped me out immensely with a barking issue I was having with one of them (just moved to a new place and 1 of the 2 was having some separation anxiety at night). She knew just what to do! I would definitely have hire her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I've taken care of a variety of pets from a very young age. My family and friends often relied in me to care for their pets in their absence, whether it be to walk, play, feed, or babysit their animals over an extended period of time. My childhood pet who I cared for, for 18 incredible years was the star of the show. I learned to be by her side through every phase of life. I hold a special place in my heart for senior dogs for this reason, but adore every stage of your pups life <3 I'm currently working from home so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes for caring for your pup. I'm available for boarding after 2pm most days and have a pretty open availability for walks/ check-ins/ ext. Just be sure to reach out with enough notice and I'll be happy to make it work for both of our schedules. I have food bowls, a dog bed, and plenty of toys to keep your pup busy. Although I don't have a yard, my complex does have a dog park & I can take your pup for as many walks as they need. It is a very safe and walkable area :)
About: I’m experienced with caring for pets of all ages and needs, including senior dogs and pets requiring extra attention. I’m patient, dependable, and always make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for like they’re my own. Pet sitting fits well into my schedule because I work from home and have the flexibility to create my own hours. This allows me to be available and give pets the time, attention, and care they need. I’m also looking to make a little extra money while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I care for pets by keeping their normal routines, providing plenty of attention, and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s home, I focus on following instructions, keeping their space clean, and giving each pet the care and love they’re used to.
About: Throughout the past few years, I've sat for several of my neighbors and friend’s dogs, from yorkies to pit bulls. This includes both walks and visits to provide food, water, and fun. Caring for my own dog, Charlotte, in recent years has given me experience in caring for senior dogs. This includes accommodating for hearing loss, blindness, low energy, and stomach problems. I am an incoming college student looking for a fun way to spend my free time. My current schedule is very flexible before I start classes. I am free most days aside from occasional family obligations and weekly senior living volunteering. Safety is my number one priority when caring for your best friend(s). When walking dogs in Florida, I have found it extremely important to monitor the weather and your pets breathing. I will always ensure they have access to enough water and food at meal time. And if they’re allowed, I love giving them the occasional treat.
“Shirley was extremely good with my furbaby. She took time to play with her and give a lot of attention. I would definitely use her dog walking services again in the future.”
About: I grew up around family pets and love them a lot. I have had cats for about 10 years now and even fostered some from the shelter. And I have helped take care of family and friends dogs, including walking some around my neighborhood. I am also Red Cross certified in dog and cat first aid. I just graduated college and work part time, so I have a very flexible schedule and am able to check in or walk dogs as needed. This also gives me a sense of purpose within my days I will treat your pets as my own! I am able to take care of your pets (cats and dogs) as they need it. I can walk dogs, give them food and water, play, cuddle, and anything else they might need while you are gone.
About: While I may not have years of experience like some, my love for animals does not fall short. I have taken care of dogs, big and small. Some with dietary restrictions and rigid feeding routines and others with a more lax regimen. I have house sat/pet sat and stayed in the owner’s home on multiple occasions. I’ve taken care of four dogs of various sizes at once, done drop-ins to feed/change water and let the puppers out for friends and family members, and I’ve also stopped by to do something as simple as a quick walk. Whatever you need, I can do it! I can assure you that I will treat your pet as my own. I currently work full time at a law firm in downtown but I live in Sanford. I have a reliable car and I don’t mind driving. I can pet sit/house sit on weekdays but I have work so it would be morning care and evening/night. I can also take a midday break if needed. I am off on the weekends so I will be able to be there full time. Depending on the owner, I have put pets into their crates when leaving the house or at night for sleeping but I have also let them roam freely, if the owner allows it.
About: I've taken care of pets my whole life, including giving meds, changing diapers for those in heat, taken care of pets is cathartic for me and I love them. I'm a retired law enforcement professional looking to help make a difference for families knowing their pets are well-cared for and loved while their parents are away. Since retired, I have all the time in the world to do something more fun! I will do whatever your pet may need and want. I'm patient and kind, and know the feeling when having to drop fur babies off at someone house. I want to make sure to earn your confidence! Whatever instructions are given, I will provide exactly. I also try to play with them, walk them, ensure they feel safe. I have a safe non-smoking home with a great lanai to look at the conservation areas, and make sure there are no impediments to their safety and happiness.
About: I care for pets like the pug I once I had. Three years since, I've cared for my friends' pets. With a selfless hand, my pet care gives our furballs the love, freedom, and discipline they need to be their best. Each pet is a chance to explore personality and build trust. My goal is to create meaningful bonds our pets depend on. Through daily routines, enrichment, and healthy habits, I make pet sitting a comfortable and enjoyable experience. AVAILABILITY I work remotely 8 AM to 5 PM, I can be flexible, but require two days notice. I'll give your furry coworker the attention and care they need throughout the day. LEVEL OF CARE With pet sitting (walks included) and meal plans, I can administer oral medication and apply topical treatments daily or as needed. MEET & GREET I require a meet and greet before booking to learn the best way I can support you and your pet. QUESTIONS OR REQUESTS Need to know more? Contact me anytime. I'm a hybrid worker with a flexible schedule during the week. We can find the right time that works best for you and your pet. I prefer to care for your pet at your home or in places they enjoy. My apartment can accommodate your pet as well. I have extra bowls, a doggy bed, and toys just for them.
About: Hi there, I have worked in a doggy daycare for 2years, volunteered for a pet clinic for 1year, dog training on my own for going on 2years now. I have 2 big dogs, and 2cats! I have experience with shy dogs, anxiety dogs, leash reactive dogs too. Hi there! I am currently a stay at home mom with a one year old. If you need walks in the morning of early afternoon he will have to come with me but will stay in a stroller at all times! Otherwise I am able to be childfree for walks and any visits after 5:30pm, or after 12pm on Fridays, all day Saturdays and Sundays! I follow your instructions on how you want you fur baby to be treated. I send lots of pictures on walks and drops if I can. I love dog cuddles and playtime!

“Loved having Susann and her family watch over my grandpa fur baby. She is super nice and sends you pictures with updates on how your doggie is doing. I would definitely recommend her!”
“We recently left our dog, Riley, with Christy for a week, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! From the start, Christy provided excellent communication, keeping us updated on Riley's well-being throughout her stay. During the week, Riley experienced a bit of an upset stomach, and Christy promptly informed us. She also suggested helpful remedies, like adding pumpkin puree to Riley's meals, which made a significant difference. It’s clear that Christy truly cares about the dogs she looks after. Riley seemed happy and well-adjusted when we picked her up, and it was comforting to know she was in such good hands. We would absolutely use Christy again for her dog-sitting services. Highly recommend!”
“Luke did an amazing job watching our dogs, Keke and Penny, over Mother’s Day weekend! He was incredibly responsive, sent us lots of photos and updates, and took such great care of our sweet girls while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We could tell Keke and Penny were happy, comfortable, and well-loved the entire time. We will definitely be using Luke again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Sam was a new sitter for us, as our regular sitter wasn’t available, but from the moment I booked with her, I knew June would be in great hands. June felt right at home the second I dropped her off, and I received multiple pictures each day showing all the fun she was having. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Sam took wonderful care of June, and I highly recommend her as a sitter.”
“Andrea was a God send! My husband and I did and 8 day roadtrip through yellowstone and Grand Teton. She and her husband kept our maltipoo Joon. Joon made friends with their 2 dogs and had the best time playing the entire time. Andrea sent updates and pictures everyday and I felt so relieved to know she was in such good hands. We will be using her in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Christina was so great with Clover! She sent me pictures and/or videos each day of the week. She looked so happy to be there. I highly recommend and will definitely have Clover return.”
“Mary is a wonderful pet sitter! I boarded my three dogs for 10 days with her & they were extremely well cared for. She has a very kind, gentle and friendly demeanor, lovely home and beautiful big backyard. All three dogs were happy, healthy, and very comfortable in their setting .I would highly recommend Mary!”
“I highly recommend Carmin! She provided Peter with a home away from home while we were on vacation. She sent pictures, videos, and updates so often I never had one worry or concern. Having Carmin care for our dog in her home was such a better option than boarding. I cannot say enough about how wonderful this experience was. We will be long time customers, 10 out of 10!!!!”
“Alexandra was great with my Milo. From the moment Milo met her he was excited!! She updated me with pictures while I was away!! Definitely would recommend Alexandra to watch your fur baby!! She was awesome with mine!!”
“This was my first time using Rover to find a dog sitter while I went out of town. Alexander was a great choice, you can really tell how much she cares about dogs and I knew my dog Ray was in great hands. I got plenty of updates photos and he was wonderful at communicating with me, I definitely will use him again!”
“Maria is a true professional! So kind, warm and attentive. My husband and I travel frequently and the one thing we never have to worry about is our pup. Maria cares for her like she’s her own and sends plenty of photos and videos. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Rolanda and her family took such wonderful care of my two pets during their long stay. Roma enjoyed the fenced yard and all the loving attention, and they were incredibly patient with Ollie, who started out shy and needed extra time to feel safe. The updates Rolanda sent during the week gave me real peace of mind, and it was clear my pets were treated like part of the family. I’m truly grateful for their care and will definitely book again!”
“Chayla was great ! Take you for the cute videos and photos of my Chloe ! She was very responsive to messages and even was able to accommodate my cat for an additional night last minute. Thank you!”
“Carla was amazing! Both my pups seemed to adore her ( even my shy girl Fergie). She was super flexible and made sure they were welcome in her home. Highly recommend and will be using her services again for my next trip if available.”
