“This was our fist time boarding with Chris and his wife and our two pups had a great time! We hope to use them again in the future! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies!”
“Christine was wonderful. She sent photos and videos each day. She made me feel like our dog was being loved and cared for when she sent me updates and let me know how he was doing. We’ll definitely rebook next time we go out of town!”
“Joshua went above and beyond while watching our French bulldog. He kept us updated throughout the stay and made sure everything was taken care of. We will definitely be coming back! Thanks Josh!”
“My dogs loved her. They came back relaxed and calm. One of my pups gets anxiety and it’s hard to find someone who makes her feel relaxed and at home. We found that with Christian. She sent daily pictures and spoiled them the week they spent with her. I would highly recommend her.”
“Kendra was amazing and I had great peace of mind knowing my dog was in wonderful hands. Communication was stellar: I got updates and multiple photos every day, and it was awesome to hear of his adventures while I was out of town. I recommend Kendra to anyone looking for a thoughtful, caring pet sitter and I for sure be back as a returning client.”
“Kenneth was awesome. He provided updates at least twice a day and always sent pictures. He always responded within a few minutes and took great care of Scooby. She loved staying with him!”
“Crystal is amazing! My dog had a wonderful time with her. Very good at keeping me updated with pictures. I would definitely recommend her and I will be requesting her again.”
“Dior loveed being with her and the family, she communicates well and takes pictures throughout the time she was there, we will be booking with her again immediately!!!”
About: I worked in the dog grooming industry for 20 years. I've bathed and walked every kind of dog! I love animals and at my age walking is all I'm up for now lol I'm retired but still need the love of a dog. The variety I had at the grooming shop has left me wanted it again. I have 2 small older dogs whom I've had since they we're puppies. But they sleep a lot and aren't up to walking anymore... So this is a happy alternative for me. I'm a strong 68 yr old woman who would take great care in walking your dog 😊
“Kristall is the absolute best!!!! I've never left any of my pets with a sitter and I was very nervous. Kristall answered all of my questions at our first meeting. I did a day care day to test things out before my trip. Otis had a great time and I no longer had any concerns with leaving him with Kristall. I was able to enjoy my vacation and received frequent updates and pictures. When I went to pick Otis up I don't think he wanted to leave. Thank you so much Kristall for spoiling my little dude!”
“Cloey took great care of my Frenchie, Stitch! She kept me updated throughout his stay, and I could tell he was happy and well cared for when I picked him up. She’s reliable, caring, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Brenda was wonderful with my senior dog who needs a bit of extra care. My little one was comfortable and safe with her - and seemed very happy as well. My dog stayed at Brenda’s home. Brenda sent photos and text updates throughout the week. I highly recommend Brenda as a dog sitter!”
“Imani was great, to say the least. Due to last minute plans, I needed a sitter for the 4th of July and I'd gone through several inquiries before reaching out to Imani. She was immediately responsive and was available to board my baby. Usually I like to do a meet & greet prior to drop off and while she does offer that, I was so last minute with my plans until time didn't allow us that opportunity. After chatting with Imani and mentioning my concerns about the fireworks with the added complexity that my dog would be in an unfamiliar place for the night, Imani assured me Jinger would be in great hands and that she was prepared to give him the care and any additional attention he may have needed. Although Jinger only stayed for the night, I feel like he now has a 2nd family. Imani sent several photos and I could tell Jinger had made himself right at home. Imani's boys were an added bonus. We have small boys at home and Jinger loves them to pieces. I could tell he took to her family just the same. The boys didn't want him to leave but I promised he'd be back. Thank you tremendously, Imani!”
“Eddie was so amazing with tyler, He made me feel safe leaving tyler with him over the night. Tyler wasn’t lonely he also made a new friend to play with was definitely a plus for us !”
“Awesome dog sitter! Wish we could have had internet service this time but even without we didn’t worry. We knew Hamish was in excellent hands! Thank you Edward!”
“Amber is great! She took care of my girl for 4 months while I was deployed. She kept me updated and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her! Thank you again!”
“Our first time using Rover. We moved our son to Jacksonville and then took a cruise for a week. Joe and his wife came up as a possible fit for our small dog. They were very accommodating for several reasons. During the trip they sent pictures and updates. Good connection.”
About: I've had dogs in my home as long as I can remember. My dogs are my best friends. I can accommodate more than 1 dog if needed. 3 dogs from the same owner. I work a full-time job. I can board dogs from Friday night to Sunday afternoon. I have dogs of my own. They have their own room. Feed them on a schedule and let them play in the backyard on nice days. I have a fenced in back yard. I have dogs. I can separate them from other dogs if needed. Just let me know of any special instructions that I may need to accommodate.
“They are the best and take great care of my pup Kona! Kona has stayed with them multiple times and I always feel good knowing she’s there. I always get updates with pictures, appreciate you guys so much ❤️”
“Bingo had a great time with Rochelle. I was worried about leaving him with someone he didn't know but she was great with him and he adjusted quickly and seemed happy and content. She sent daily pictures and videos!”

“Mia was wonderful! She was able to accommodate me at the last minute and took such great care of my cat, Mia, over the weekend. She kept me updated and even sent me pictures, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated how attentive and caring she was. I would absolutely recommend her and would happily book with her again!”
“I cannot recommend Patrick D. enough! From the moment we first connected, he was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. He took care of my dogs as if they were his own — sending regular updates, photos, and even little notes about how the day went, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Kevin and William absolutely adored HIM (which says a lot, because they're usually a bit shy with new people). When I came home, everything was spotless, my pets were happy, and their routine had been perfectly followed. Patrick went above and beyond in every way. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring, look no further. I will absolutely be booking with him again!”
“There is no one we trust MORE with our pets than Katie. This is the 3rd time we have booked and now our cat excitedly greets her and they have bonded. It's so wonderful to know our cats are in gentle and caring hands while we are away. We always look forward to the daily photos and description of the visit while we are away.”
“This is my second time using Jada and she is so fantastic with our cat Broccoli. She sends pictures and messages about how he’s doing. He definitely has taken a liking to her since the last time she watched him so I am happy to continue using her as our pet sitter because Brocc loves her!”
“I was very satisfied with Amy. She came before the stay so both my cat and I could become acquainted and review house access. She and my cat were immediate friends. She sent me pictures each day and we communicated by text and email. My house looked better when I returned than when I left. She is very kind and caring and I would recommend her without any qualms.”
“Amber was so great. She came by for a meet and greet which really helped us feel good about having her check in on our kitties. When she checked in on them she provided so many pictures of them and their food and litter boxes. Great attention to detail and you can tell she cares. Over all just a great experience. Thank you!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs most of my life and have lived with multiple cat owners as well. I feel like pets like my calm and loving demeanor 😊 I enjoy the flexibility this profession allows and I love the outdoors. If your pet wants a long walk in the sun or just needs to stretch its legs in the backyard I’m down for either! 😁 I feel as though my laid back demeanor is great for working with animals and even the pickiest cats have fallen for me. I’m great at reading the body language of animals and know when they want a belly rub or when they want me to sit six feet away.
“Liz was great with my two babies! She gave my updates every day and made sure they were being loved and cared for. She followed every specific diet instruction for the cats and communicated with me the whole time. Liz is awesome!!!”
“Amanda was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and I felt so safe and comfortable with her watching my kitties. My apartment unfortunately had a leak while I was away, and she went above and beyond to make sure that it was taken care of. She provided photos every day of my boys and spent time getting to know them and building trust by giving them treats and hanging out with them. 10/10! Thank you, Amanda!”
“Kristie is awesome! She followed all the instructions I left, took great care of my shy little cat, and even kept me updated with friendly messages. I felt super confident leaving Mia in her care and would absolutely trust her again!”
“Meredith was wonderful! We needed someone to watch our cat Ollie last minute and she was super responsive and detail oriented. Would def recommend!!”
“This turned out to be the best service ever. Erika was amazing and I hope she'll become a regular for Scout. I unintentionally became the sole responsible human to a neighbors cat. I believe she's now needing a permanent home. I hadn't planned for this as we are retired and plan to travel. Finally true empty nesters. We kept Scout inside for our first trip with no clue how she'd do, but daily visits were perfect. We have decided to keep Scout. ☺️”
“Kenneth gave my pup plenty of love, cleaned up after an unfortunate accident (Puppyhood! Gotta love it), and sent lots of cute photos to make us feel comfortable. He took great care of her during his multiple visits today and he shows great care and love for other’s animals!”
“Christian was absolutely fantastic!!! Followed our instructions for our babies perfectly. Quite the cat whisperer which is such a relief since 2 out of our 4 tend to be shy. This was our first Rover experience and it was great! We will definitely be using Christian again in the future!”

“Java started to trust Kenneth after 2 daycare visits, which is very rare. It means Kenneth did a lot of work with him. I feel very confident leaving Java with him, and I can focus on my work . Thank you 🙏🏽”
“Cannot say enough good things about Lesly and Josh! They took such special care of my Lily. They were able to work with me and be flexible when I was stuck at work and couldn’t collect her right away. You can tell they truly care about the babies in their care ♥️”
“Makenzie was willing to work with me on my short notice and responded promptly. She is a perfect babysitter and I wound recommend her services to anyone who wants a loving home for their fur baby.”
“Absolutely had to give Chyna 5 stars! Rocky was obviously very well taken care of! Chyna kept us updated with messages, pictures, and videos. Rocky got fed on time, played with, and even watched a movie while getting lots of cuddles! We are so happy with Chyna and her services and will most definitely be booking again! She is the best!”
About: I have taken care of dogs all of my life & LOVE them. I work from home in a professional job, so I have plenty of time to take care of animals during the day and I take my dog out on four walks a day. I also have a good sized, enclosed yard. I am extremely hyper vigilant, so your pet will always be taken care of with me. I treat dogs like children and My Mika is extremely spoiled. She gets along with all other dogs and cats. I currently work from home full-time, so I have plenty of time to care for animals in my home. I take my dog out on four walks a day and I have a good size enclosed yard. I have a fenced yard with sod. I don’t leave my dog out there for long - only to go to the bathroom because she prefers to be inside with me and right now it's too hot. I will accommodate whatever needs your dog has. I have a fenced front yard as well and my dog likes to be on the porch people/dog watching.
About: I've had dogs in my home as long as I can remember. My dogs are my best friends. I can accommodate more than 1 dog if needed. 3 dogs from the same owner. I work a full-time job. I can board dogs from Friday night to Sunday afternoon. I have dogs of my own. They have their own room. Feed them on a schedule and let them play in the backyard on nice days. I have a fenced in back yard. I have dogs. I can separate them from other dogs if needed. Just let me know of any special instructions that I may need to accommodate.
About: I have had dogs my entire life, and taken care of them in full for my family, friends and neighbors. I love four legged furry friends; giving them walks, playing with them and making them feel comfortable. I have always adopted rescue dogs so have a good sense of how to take care of apprehensive dogs, as well as hyperactive or dogs that need more attention and a patient trainer. I have amateur experience training dogs and have learned tips from my sister who is an experienced dog trainer and dog walker. I have chickens at home and have cared for furry, scaled and feathered friends in the past, I love them all. I am patient and loving when it comes to taking care of animals and hope you will consider me to take care of your best friend(s)! My partner and I have recently lost our best furry friend and I would love a reason to get outside more often with my favorite animal (dogs!) or any animal at all. I currently work full time but am off on Sundays/Mondays as well as evenings. My job allows me to leave midday as needed. If I can plan ahead with a care schedule, I have no issue fitting walks/care as needed. I personally have always had free range dogs, but have experience with free ranging as well as crated dogs. I am comfortable working with contained pets as well; chickens, other birds, snakes, tarantulas etc.
“We needed someone to care for our puppy while we came to town for a funeral and Beverly provided great care! She was very communicative and reassuring as this was our first time using this service!”
About: I grew up on a farm, so I have spent most of my life caring for pets. I currently own one dog named Mackey. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet and give them the attention they need. Please Note: I do not accept pets that are not crate trained and potty trained. I work from home so my schedule is flexible and I can use that opportunity to provide plenty of walks and breaks as needed for your pet. Our normal walks occur twice a day in the morning and in the evening with intermittent outside breaks throughout the day. My current dog is indoors. All pets staying at my home will be indoors with A/C and access to plenty of water, food and toys.
“Amazing dog sitter. My dog receives love and attention with Kristall and she enjoys the company of her dog also. She always has a great time. Thank you for all that you do!”
“I was looking for day care very last minute and Sheena was so kind to be available for us. My pup had a great experience and brought a nice doggy bag home. Highly recommend!!”
About: What sets me apart from many sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and my ability to genuinely connect with them quickly — especially pets who may be anxious, shy, older, highly attached to their owners, or simply used to lots of companionship and attention. Over the years, I’ve helped care for foster litters of puppies and kittens requiring around-the-clock feeding, monitoring, and weight tracking alongside my best friend, who is a veterinarian. I also have veterinary technician and shelter experience, along with hands-on experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, reinforcing basic puppy training, and supporting animals with special routines, anxieties, or medical needs. I’m currently working with one of my own dogs in service dog training, and I’m also a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) who previously worked with pre-K children with autism using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Both experiences have strengthened my understanding of behavioral reinforcement, nonverbal communication, patience, routine, trust-building, and adapting to different personalities and emotional needs. In many ways, both children and animals communicate heavily through energy, body language, consistency, and feeling emotionally safe, and I’ve found those skills help me connect especially well with animals of all temperaments. I’m also an avid walker and love spending time outdoors, taking long walks through the beautiful Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods, local parks, and nearby green spaces — especially when the weather cools down a bit. For more active dogs, I genuinely enjoy playtime, walks, fetch, and engagement throughout the day, while calmer pets usually find me just as happy to provide cuddles, companionship, and a peaceful environment. Because I operate my design company remotely and on my own schedule, I’m often able to spend extended time in the home providing companionship, supervision, structure, affection, and a calming presence throughout the day and overnight — not just quick drop-ins. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. Because I own and operate my own boutique design firm, my schedule is highly flexible and allows me to work remotely from anywhere with a reliable internet connection. I’m also involved in tween mentorship and creative consulting, both of which I manage on my own schedule, making it easy for me to prioritize the needs and routines of the pets in my care. I’m naturally both an early riser and a night owl, so I’m available for early morning feedings and walks, late-night potty breaks, overnight companionship, medication schedules, and pets who simply feel more secure having someone nearby throughout the day and evening. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy the companionship, structure, and calm presence animals bring. Whether I’m working quietly from my laptop while keeping your pet company, taking breaks for walks and playtime, or providing attentive overnight care, I’m able to give pets far more presence and consistency than many traditional sitters with rigid work schedules. Safety, trust, and creating a calm environment are extremely important to me, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have two friendly small dogs and cats of my own, so pets staying in my home should be comfortable around other animals and able to coexist peacefully. Our pets are very much part of the family and are welcome on furniture and beds, so I aim to create a relaxed, loving, home-like environment rather than a kennel atmosphere. I understand that every pet has different comfort levels, routines, and boundaries, and I take introductions, feeding, supervision, and transitions seriously to help everyone feel safe and comfortable. If a pet prefers to be crated or separated at times, I’m happy to accommodate those needs as well. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m highly respectful of routines, security, cleanliness, and household expectations. As a longtime homeowner and business owner myself, I understand the level of trust involved when someone gives access to both their beloved pets and their home. I’m conscientious about alarms, locked doors, medications, feeding schedules, potty routines, cleanliness, and communication. Because I work remotely from home in the Avondale area, I’m also able to provide a high level of flexibility, supervision, companionship, and overnight presence for pets who are used to having someone nearby throughout the day.

About: Our family has always included pets. I will be incomplete without them. I have foster and rescue many cats. And I have trained our dogs for service work. All of this has provided me with unique knowledge about grooming, behavior, breeds specific, and training for animals. I'm excited to offer your pet the same level of care than ours. I respect pets like a family member. And through this sitting I am hoping to grow our resources to keep giving back to shelters and other pets in need. I am are currently working from home. And spend my days inside. So your pet will have company 24/7. My family have a very quiet lifestyle and will accommodate to any routine necessary. I offer personalized environment for our sitting pets. Since we have the space, if you have a shy pet they can be in a quite room by themselves and be accompanied as they like. Or if is playful it can hang around playing with our kittens. We do leave them the first night in their own space to accommodate. And if you like we can transition them into the general space.
About: Dogs are also family wouldn't you say they deserve the best care from the best dog caregiver!? With me your fur baby will receive attention through play time, be given time to run and play and have the love and care to continue to thrive. The Services I do provide are feeding, walks to keep your fur baby happy and healthy, fun time to keep them stimulated, to continue to build on their social skills and so they can routinely be working on their bonding with family, new faces and other dogs. Dogs are constantly growing and learning so the proper sitter is needed. My schedule is flexible, so it’s allows me to be available for any type of service that may come up. Around Special events and holidays I have more time to play with your fur baby and be more active. Making sure your dog is secure in my home or yours is my first priority. Because dogs are just like babies they can get into things so double checking doors and Gates is a must.
“This was my second time with her! As always, she was attentive and caring. Strangely my fur baby eats well with her despite him being a picky eater. It feels really secured to have a day care where I can trust with confidence. Will continue to use her service going forward!”

“Jada is the only person I trust to watch my pup. I was very nervous to leave him home as a 13 week old puppy; but I felt so much better knowing that Jada was taking care of him. She was very responsive to all of my requests and communicated with me throughout their walk. I could not recommend more!”
About: Loving & Experienced Pet Sitter – Specialist in Large Breeds & Seniors I have a lifelong love for animals and years of experience as a dedicated pet parent. After losing my 12-year-old Mastiff/Lab mix, Honey Bear, and my 19-year-old tabby, Eli, I’ve realized I’m not quite ready for a new pet of my own—but I have so much love left to give! I am offering my services to help others who need a reliable, attentive, and deeply caring sitter. Whether it’s long walks (one of my favorite activities!) or providing gentle care for senior pets, I treat every animal as if they were my own.

“This was our fist time boarding with Chris and his wife and our two pups had a great time! We hope to use them again in the future! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies!”
“My dogs loved her. They came back relaxed and calm. One of my pups gets anxiety and it’s hard to find someone who makes her feel relaxed and at home. We found that with Christian. She sent daily pictures and spoiled them the week they spent with her. I would highly recommend her.”
“Kenneth was awesome. He provided updates at least twice a day and always sent pictures. He always responded within a few minutes and took great care of Scooby. She loved staying with him!”
“Crystal is amazing! My dog had a wonderful time with her. Very good at keeping me updated with pictures. I would definitely recommend her and I will be requesting her again.”
“Dior loveed being with her and the family, she communicates well and takes pictures throughout the time she was there, we will be booking with her again immediately!!!”
“Kristall is the absolute best!!!! I've never left any of my pets with a sitter and I was very nervous. Kristall answered all of my questions at our first meeting. I did a day care day to test things out before my trip. Otis had a great time and I no longer had any concerns with leaving him with Kristall. I was able to enjoy my vacation and received frequent updates and pictures. When I went to pick Otis up I don't think he wanted to leave. Thank you so much Kristall for spoiling my little dude!”
“Cloey took great care of my Frenchie, Stitch! She kept me updated throughout his stay, and I could tell he was happy and well cared for when I picked him up. She’s reliable, caring, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Imani was great, to say the least. Due to last minute plans, I needed a sitter for the 4th of July and I'd gone through several inquiries before reaching out to Imani. She was immediately responsive and was available to board my baby. Usually I like to do a meet & greet prior to drop off and while she does offer that, I was so last minute with my plans until time didn't allow us that opportunity. After chatting with Imani and mentioning my concerns about the fireworks with the added complexity that my dog would be in an unfamiliar place for the night, Imani assured me Jinger would be in great hands and that she was prepared to give him the care and any additional attention he may have needed. Although Jinger only stayed for the night, I feel like he now has a 2nd family. Imani sent several photos and I could tell Jinger had made himself right at home. Imani's boys were an added bonus. We have small boys at home and Jinger loves them to pieces. I could tell he took to her family just the same. The boys didn't want him to leave but I promised he'd be back. Thank you tremendously, Imani!”
“Eddie was so amazing with tyler, He made me feel safe leaving tyler with him over the night. Tyler wasn’t lonely he also made a new friend to play with was definitely a plus for us !”
“Awesome dog sitter! Wish we could have had internet service this time but even without we didn’t worry. We knew Hamish was in excellent hands! Thank you Edward!”
“Amber is great! She took care of my girl for 4 months while I was deployed. She kept me updated and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her! Thank you again!”
“Our first time using Rover. We moved our son to Jacksonville and then took a cruise for a week. Joe and his wife came up as a possible fit for our small dog. They were very accommodating for several reasons. During the trip they sent pictures and updates. Good connection.”
About: I've had dogs in my home as long as I can remember. My dogs are my best friends. I can accommodate more than 1 dog if needed. 3 dogs from the same owner. I work a full-time job. I can board dogs from Friday night to Sunday afternoon. I have dogs of my own. They have their own room. Feed them on a schedule and let them play in the backyard on nice days. I have a fenced in back yard. I have dogs. I can separate them from other dogs if needed. Just let me know of any special instructions that I may need to accommodate.
“They are the best and take great care of my pup Kona! Kona has stayed with them multiple times and I always feel good knowing she’s there. I always get updates with pictures, appreciate you guys so much ❤️”
“Gwen was so flexible and took wonderful care of my dog while I was away. She was really. great at keeping open communication. and just made me feel really at ease with leaving my dog with her. I highly recommend Gwen and my dog Trixie gives her five paws🐾🐾”
“Em was absolutely amazing! She sent many updates through photo and text. Will definitely be using her again. My sweet pup was super happy when I picked him up.”
“Adriana was amazing! My dog took to her immediately and he’s normally shy. She had a pool for my dog to swim in and a big backyard for him to run around and play. She sent me pics and videos of him everyday while I was away. She also helped me by cooking his food for him while I was away. I will definitely be rebooking with Adriana when I go on my next trip!”
“I had a 10/10 experience with Alicia this past weekend while she watched my dog, Kingston. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Alicia was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive with him. She sent daily updates and photos, which meant so much to us while we were away. I’m so thankful to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. Your baby will absolutely be in great hands with Alicia!”
