“Olga truly is the best!! Sets the bar HIGH! But more than that, our Finn loves it when he is there! We have never seen him excited for anything other than his ‘dad’ well…. We pulled up to Olga’s house and is excitement was super obvious and couldn’t be contained…. And when he comes back home, he seems better than when he left us. His breed is full of energy… and Olga still loves him and cares for him so well. THANK YOU”
“I have never left my 2 frenchies for a long period of time - so this visit was extra hard on me, especially since I was going on a cruise with limited contact. Sam was great with my babies, however! I got regular updates whenever I had service, and I could tell they were having fun and loving their time with her and her babies! Definitely will be booking her again for my next trip! 🖤”
“Diana was great taking care Dexter. Everything great. We received daily pics and videos of Dexter. He also got a grooming while there. Thank you so much for your great service.”
“Second time using Alain and he still did an amazing job. Our girl was happy to go and really enjoyed playing Max and Alain’s son in their big backyard. Thank you again for your great service!”
“Chloe had a great time, we were sent many photos of her from finding her comfy spot to videos playing & having a good time. She was well cared for & was so very comfortable.”
“Elaine was great! Her place and clean and comfy perfect for the pups! She sent great photos and updates daily. Our pups loved playing with her daughter as well! Would definitely book again!”
“Carla did an amazing job with our dog Crockett! She provided a daily update with photos which was very much appreciated! They made him part of their family which we loved!”
“Last minute heading out of town for a wedding and I am very uneasy with who I leave any of my animals with. Jessica took all that weight off my shoulders and took two of our dogs for the weekend. Her communication was always spot on and she took pictures to let us know how our baby’s were doing. I can’t say enough good things about my experience. I will use Jessica again no doubt in my mind! She was fantastic. Very clean and presentable home with a fenced yard and, best part, she’s got a pool! If you want to vacation and not worry about your pups, consider Jessica, she will make it fun and easy. Thanks so much again!!”
“Krista provided excellent care for Bailey. He enjoyed his stay immensely and was a bit sad to leave since he had so much fun. Krista provided daily updates and was very accommodating when my flight got delayed. Highly recommend her services. Thank you, Krista!”
“If I were to dream up the perfect pet sitter, it would be Yani. She truly loves to care for my dog and I felt comfortable with her immediately. Each day she sent me photos and sometimes video of my doggie during his stay with her. When our flight was delayed getting back into town, she was so accommodating and let us pick him up late. I swear my dog loves her and her family! :)) Thank you Yani!!!!”
“Jill is very good with dogs! We always rest easy when she keeps Mocha for us. Jill always sends photos which we certainly appreciate! We highly recommend Jill for your dog sitting needs.”
“Hi Randal! Thank you so much for the loving care you show Franki when he is at your home!! We never have to worry when we are away because we know how well he is being taken care of!!! And Franki does love spending time with you!! We will definitely call you again!! Wishing you and your wife a Happy Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas….which you are certainly ready for!!!! Patti and Steve”
“Claudia and her family are the most amazing doggie sitters ever! We got daily photos and has constant communication— whenever I messaged her she responded within 10 minutes. She treated savanna like her own. She even washed savanna’s bed and gave savanna a beautiful groom and bath! We cannot wait to use Claudia again!”
“Sandra and family were very nice and house was safe and clean for our Ella. I felt not only was our girl taken care of, but loved as well. Thank you for your kindness! We will definitely use Sandra again.”
“Viviana and her husband were great with our little Milo; I wasn't sure that he wanted to leave when we picked him up. Viviana sent pictures and was very communicative during Milo's stay. I highly recommend her as a sitter and will leave Milo with her again if the opportunity arises.”
“VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER! Our Dog Nova (a lab mix) stayed with Emily and Aaron for a little over a week and they treated her like family. They made sure she had plenty of play time, company and got her medicine. They were very easy to communicate with, quick to respond and sent regular updates. Honestly I hope they are always available when I go out of town. :) Thanks you guys!”
“We were so happy leaving our dogs with Arleen and Daniel. We are planning a trip in October and we wanted to try an overnight for our kids first, to see how they would do. They kept us updated with pictures, made us feel totally at ease, and even though one of our little babies had some separation anxiety, they didn’t seem bothered by it at all. They understood it was their first time away from us since we had them. We are looking forward to using them in the future. They were the perfect match for our crazy teenagers.”
“They are awesome! The home is welcoming and safe and they were very caring with my little Doxie’s first time being boarded. I now consider them the only people I will leave my dog with…I highly and confidently recommend them! 5 stars for sure”
“We are so happy with this booking! It was a last minute request, and they were so accommodating. We received multiple updates and photos throughout, which gave us such peace of mind. Ollie also had so much fun with Maui! We already have our next booking placed with them in 2 weeks. :)”

We were so nervous to leave our animals with going so far away, and Ashley made our worries melt away. She truly goes above and beyond to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our animals. And even better, she truly cares for them like they were her own. We will continue to use Ashley as our pet sitter for as long as she is available!”

I do plan to use them again..”
“Taylor was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our cats and went above and beyond in every way, communicating regularly, keeping their space clean, and making sure they were happy and well looked after. We felt way more at ease knowing they were in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with her again for all of our future vacations!”

About: CLEAN, NON SMOKING, HOME – Private Fenced Yard ~ Dog sitting is part of my business called Gail’s Personal Assistant Services. Please INCLUDE A CONTACT NUMBER IN YOUR INITIAL MESSAGE. I prefer communicating by phone or text. I have two small dogs, a Havashu and a Westie. My back yard is fenced and safe. I sit for many clients who come to the island and stay at inns that do not allow dogs. I have great references. It’s nice to know that while you are here playing, your fur-baby is also having a grand time. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all my life. I should say I am an animal lover. I've had cats in my past also. My mother had dogs in our home, so I was raised with them. About my yard It is a fenced in yard, not too large, but big enough for them to play and run around. My experience administering medication Yes. As I have two pups of my own, I have experience in doing this job. I have administered medication to my client's pups when they needed it. My Overnight Stays An overnight stay is 24 hours. If you are gone over the 24 hour period for the one stay, then there is an additional charge for a day care stay. I have loads of time to play with your pups! I'm home most of the time except for some errands. They will love it here with my two! I let my pet run free and they are allowed to sleep with me. I can also crate your pet if that is how you have trained him/her.
“Yani took care of my 5 cats for over a week while I was out of town for Christmas. This is the second time Yani has cared for my fur babies, and I cannot recommend her more! She is responsible, kind, and attentive and truly cares. I had so much comfort receiving the report cards with pictures of my kitties and knowing she was there to check in on them allowed me to enjoy my vacation! Yani is amazing!”
“Ashlee G was awesome! First, we walked the Biltmore Estate grounds with both borzoi, just for fun and so she could get to know the dogs a little bit. That turned out to be a highlight for me. Then Ashlee stayed with my dogs in my camper van while I toured Biltmore and the grounds more extensively. I felt so comfortable knowing the dogs were safe with Ashlee while I was on the tour. I can't say enough good things about this very responsible and delightful young woman. Wizard, Geisha and I, Thank you!”

“Friendly and safe spot for your pup. Attentive and communicative hosts who send pics to keep you informed. Highly recommend; we're passing thru on a winter journey and would feel comfortable sending my fur pup there again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4:4)”
“Our dog has done weekly daycare with Pamela for about two years, that’s easily 100 times- and I would recommend her 100 times over. She’s also boarded our dog and checked in on our cat when traveling. Pamela is great at communicating during a stay and always takes the best pictures of our pup. She genuinely loves her job and every dog that she works with she treats as her own. I’ve never worried about my dog with her and any issues (dogs not immediately getting along) have always been quickly and thoroughly communicated. The pack of daycare dogs she made has been amazing at socializing our dog and wearing her out. Our dog is so excited to go to Pamela’s every single time and sleeps so well that night. Pamela is truly unique in how she runs her daycare and the services she provides. Any dog that gets to spend the day with her is well loved and cared for. I can’t recommend her enough!!!”
“Our pup, Hallie, loved staying with Lauren, Chris, and their dog, Winston. They are very warm and welcoming, not to mention very flexible, responsive, and accommodating. Winston is a sweet, playful dog that Hallie had a great time becoming friends with. We hope they will watch Hallie for us many times in the future and feel very comfortable and confident that she is being well taken care of when we are away from home.”
“Our dog received excellent care! We were happy to receive pictures and videos during her first stay, and the communication was very prompt, professional and courteous. We will definitely be bringing her to Alain again!”
“This was our first time with Mike and he was amazing between his flexibility and comfort with all different types of dogs! I will definitely be using Mike as another way for Charlie to burn off some energy with Shadow!!”
“Diana was very accommodating and friendly. She listened to my needs and communicated throughout the day. She knew I was worried about to my fur babies so she always let me know how they were doing.”
“Krista was amazing! When I was dropping Oliver off at her house, he immediately went right to Krista and proceeded to go inside her home like he had known her forever! It made it so easy to leave Oliver, knowing how comfortable he felt. I would definitely recommend Krista and will reach out to her again while staying here in Cape Coral.”

“Jill graciously hosted our dog for a long day when we had a last-minute opportunity to be away. She has such a calm demeanor and was quickly able to help our lively pup connect with the other 2 dogs in her care.”
“Meltem is a fanstastic dog sitter and took great care of our teenage poodle. He is full of energy but she handled it very professionally. She is a very friendly person and her home is super clean and nice. I would recommend her anytime and we love to use her services in the future”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable, stay-at-home mom and animal lover who will treat your dog like part of the family. Because I’m home throughout most of the day, your pup will receive plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles. Dogs are rarely left alone, and I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, walking, medication, and sleeping routines. I have a sweet 9-year-old Shih Tzu and two animal-loving boys, ages 10 and 13, who have grown up around dogs and understand how to interact with them gently and respectfully. All interactions are supervised, and your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I also provide regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. As a homeschool family, we’re home often and able to provide lots of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day in a calm, cozy environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. We have a private backyard for potty breaks and outdoor time, but because the yard is not fenced, all dogs are kept safely on a leash or lead at all times while outside. Pets are always supervised during outdoor time, and I take extra care to make sure they feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for while in my home. I’m also happy to follow any specific safety instructions, routines, or preferences you have for your pet. My goal is to provide a calm, loving, and safe environment where your pet feels right at home.

I really enjoy watching, walking and playing with pets. See you soon! I'm fully retired and spend most of my time at home. I have plenty of free time and I’ve always enjoyed getting out for a dog walk in the early morning and late afternoon. I'm committed to loving care and safety for my clients' pets. I always enjoy long walks with the energetic fast pace Rovers. I'm always cautious to have them on a proper leash and collar or harness during their walks.

Tell me your dog's needs and habits and I will do my very best to make them feel right at home.

About: I have had dogs and cats for as long as I have been alive and have a great passion for animals and caring for them! Will provide tons of TLC and the best walk or playtime that they can get! You will not have to worry when they are in my care what so ever, I am very responsible and will be sure that they have the best time. I am available every day and weekends for walks or drop ins.

About: I’m currently a pet mom of 2 awesome pups and also have multiple grand pups and cats! I grew up on a farm raising every kind of animal imaginable and have continued my love for all animals throughout my adult life. One of my current pups is deaf so I have experience with special needs and my daughter works at the local vet which offers me extra perks as well. I absolutely love all animals (probably more than humans😜) and will take care of your babies like they are my own! I am self-employed and work from home so my schedule is super flexible. I can stay at your home for overnights or simply come visit your babies every couple of hours for walks, feeding and playtime. Depending on your pet (dog only), I can also bring them to my home for playtime with my pups. I am super attentive (maybe too attentive!) and very cautious when dealing with any animal. I understand they are your babies and safety is number one! If we visit my home, my dogs are super friendly sandbar dogs and I have a fenced yard for everyone to play.
About: My son has a farm and multiple dogs, me and especially my daughter have had many years of experience walking and caring for the dogs there. We have also been trusted multiple times to take care of and walk the pets of close friends for days at a time while they’re out on vacation. We’re both extremely responsible and ready to take care of your babies! I am currently unemployed with an ample amount of free time to care and be there for your pets whenever you need me too. My daughter is always available, has a license and also possesses enough experience taking care of animals to make sure your pets are safe and well cared for. I will not offer at home services most of the time. However, if I do, I have a huge backyard with more than enough space for your pets to get their energy out and have fun.
About: Dogs are my passion, and puppies definitely have a special place in my heart! Over the years I’ve cared for everything from cats and dogs to horses, cows, goats, and more, so I’m comfortable with animals of all kinds. I have years of experience training both dogs and horses, so while your pup is with me, I’ll naturally reinforce good manners, structure, and confidence in a positive way. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, an energetic adolescent, or a laid-back senior, I tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. I’ve spent many years raising and training German Shepherds, Great Danes, Dobermans, Aussies, and other large, powerful breeds, but I absolutely love small and medium-sized dogs too. My own dogs are well-mannered and social, and I take introductions seriously to ensure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and part of the pack. My goal is simple: I want your pet to feel loved, secure, and have so much fun that they adopt me as their new Aunt Ash! 😉 I work my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to put your pets first! I’m able to adjust my day around walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, playtime, and your pet’s individual routine. I do my best to keep your pet’s normal routine exactly as they know it. I follow your feeding, walking, medication, potty, and household instructions closely and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while you’re away.
“Megan went above and beyond today with our Boo and Olive. She came over in the morning and spent abundant time with them and then again in the afternoon. It was just what we needed--not having to worry about them while we were dealing with an all-day appointment. We could tell from the photos that they were relaxed and enjoyed Megan's company. (She may have lavished more attention on them than we do!) When we arrived home, they showed none of the signs of stress or anxiety they usually display when left alone for just a couple of hours. Communication was excellent and, fortunately, Megan was flexible and adjusted the times because of a change of plan. Finally, it's important to note that Megan did come over ahead for a short 'meet and greet' session. She took notes, listened carefully and asked pertinent questions. I knew then that she would be well-prepared and kind to our beloved pets.”
“The BEST! Very kind and caring. Our Lincoln loves him and gets so excited he runs to the front door at the mention of Barry’s name any time of day. So grateful we found him on Rover!”

“I have never left my 2 frenchies for a long period of time - so this visit was extra hard on me, especially since I was going on a cruise with limited contact. Sam was great with my babies, however! I got regular updates whenever I had service, and I could tell they were having fun and loving their time with her and her babies! Definitely will be booking her again for my next trip! 🖤”
“Diana was great taking care Dexter. Everything great. We received daily pics and videos of Dexter. He also got a grooming while there. Thank you so much for your great service.”
“Second time using Alain and he still did an amazing job. Our girl was happy to go and really enjoyed playing Max and Alain’s son in their big backyard. Thank you again for your great service!”
“Elaine was great! Her place and clean and comfy perfect for the pups! She sent great photos and updates daily. Our pups loved playing with her daughter as well! Would definitely book again!”
“Last minute heading out of town for a wedding and I am very uneasy with who I leave any of my animals with. Jessica took all that weight off my shoulders and took two of our dogs for the weekend. Her communication was always spot on and she took pictures to let us know how our baby’s were doing. I can’t say enough good things about my experience. I will use Jessica again no doubt in my mind! She was fantastic. Very clean and presentable home with a fenced yard and, best part, she’s got a pool! If you want to vacation and not worry about your pups, consider Jessica, she will make it fun and easy. Thanks so much again!!”
“Krista provided excellent care for Bailey. He enjoyed his stay immensely and was a bit sad to leave since he had so much fun. Krista provided daily updates and was very accommodating when my flight got delayed. Highly recommend her services. Thank you, Krista!”
“Jill is very good with dogs! We always rest easy when she keeps Mocha for us. Jill always sends photos which we certainly appreciate! We highly recommend Jill for your dog sitting needs.”
“Claudia and her family are the most amazing doggie sitters ever! We got daily photos and has constant communication— whenever I messaged her she responded within 10 minutes. She treated savanna like her own. She even washed savanna’s bed and gave savanna a beautiful groom and bath! We cannot wait to use Claudia again!”
“Sandra and family were very nice and house was safe and clean for our Ella. I felt not only was our girl taken care of, but loved as well. Thank you for your kindness! We will definitely use Sandra again.”
“We were so happy leaving our dogs with Arleen and Daniel. We are planning a trip in October and we wanted to try an overnight for our kids first, to see how they would do. They kept us updated with pictures, made us feel totally at ease, and even though one of our little babies had some separation anxiety, they didn’t seem bothered by it at all. They understood it was their first time away from us since we had them. We are looking forward to using them in the future. They were the perfect match for our crazy teenagers.”
“They are awesome! The home is welcoming and safe and they were very caring with my little Doxie’s first time being boarded. I now consider them the only people I will leave my dog with…I highly and confidently recommend them! 5 stars for sure”
“This was my first time using Rover and leaving our fur babies with someone. Mike did an amazing job with Ryder and Goose. He kept us up to date with pictures and let us know they were doing well each day. He is very knowledgeable about dogs and gave us some great advice for training and behavioral for our puppy. I was super nervous how our oldest dog would do with being away from us but he was super happy in every picture. They definitely will be staying with Mike again when we go out of town ❤️. Your dogs will be super happy here I can’t recommend him enough!!”
“Marcia was wonderful! She took good care of Brooklyn and made sure she had what she needed for Brooklyn. She sent lots of pictures so I could see she Brooke was safe, happy, and getting plenty of outdoor time. Thank you Marcia! 😊”
“I would highly recommend Mark and Fran as Dog Sitter’s They are warm and kind people My dog looked happy and content when I picked her up I will be using them again on our next trip!”
“Absolutely amazing Rover sitter. Went way above and beyond to accommodate our situation. Highly recommended if you need a trustworthy family to keep your loved ones!!!”
“Kathy (and her granddaughters) were so wonderful to Joey. They gave him lots of love and cuddles during his stay. We got the pictures to prove it! We were extremely comfortable leaving Joey and would not hesitate to do it again.”
“More than five stars if I could I would give Mrs. Carrie. She was excellent, loving and very caring with my Nala. She maintained excellent communication at all times and when I picked up my dog, she was very happy and well cared for. I am very grateful to the platform and with Mrs. Carrie. I definitely recommend her and will use Carrie's services again. ❤️🐾”
“Gulcin took amazing care of my two cats. I boarded them at her home and they could not have been more comfortable, happier, or better cared for. Would absolutely recommend this sitter.”
