They have a beautiful home that is set up perfectly for dog sitting! Our dogs loved running around their huge fenced in yard chasing Marcela on the golf cart ? they had a blast! She even tended to their medical needs as Snoopy had a mild ear infection before he arrived and needed pills and drops daily. They came home happy, clean and tired which I’m grateful for! We highly recommend them and will definitely use them again! They treated our boys like family ? ❤️”

About: I've had dogs my entire life and have always enjoyed the unique experience each one brings with them from their personalities. I have a large backyard of 2 lots fenced in together for my Doberman so that we have lots of space to play and he can really stretch his legs. He loves playing with other dogs and we are hoping to make lots of new friends, both with fur and without. I do most of my work from home, Sunday- Wednesday I am home all day, and I do have my 10 year old son after school on those days, but we go for multiple walks, and do playtime in the yard which is 1/2 acre and fenced in. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, I do work but typically only 5-6 hours outside the home. If I am going to be working longer on a day where you're booked I will communicate that ahead of time. I have 1/2 acre, my back yard is large and entirely closed in so it's safe and secure to let multiple dogs outside to roam, run, and play with no worries. I have a large run that I have completely cleared out for playing catch with my doberman so he can really stretch his legs and get going. I do let the animals in my house, and they will spend most of the time inside when it's hot, with frequent opportunities to go outside and play/ exercise. Inside if the dogs are playing together, I usually leave them to enjoy each other, otherwise I frequently engage with them with whatever toys they want to play with as the day goes on and they're not napping.
“Floyd and his wife did an absolutely wonderful job caring for our Rosy. They provided daily updates and pictures which were so appreciated. Their home is clean and has a great fenced in yard. Rosy seemed so happy there and may have been happy to stay there forever ? Highly recommend!”
“Britney is truly amazing. She’s been our go to sitter since last November. This time we had to go out of town with little advance notice. Britney responded very quickly that she would watch our dog. She eagerly took on the care of our dog despite the dog having a strain knee ligament. While Britney pampered Luna, she noted that the injury seemed more than just a strain. She contacted me and help us out by taking Luna to the vet for an x-ray. Turns out it was a tear, no a strain. I’m n order to keep Luna off the leg, she even slept on the couch and the floor with Luna! That is caring. I can’t praise her enough!”
“Jacqueline was great! She took my dog and cat on very short notice for a few days, and they had a wonderful time. She gave them lots of attention and checked in every day with pictures and updates.”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of all different kinds of breeds and have all the time of the day todo so, I truly enjoy them I currently work part time remotely, so therefore my availability and time always there to take care of the animals that I have and love I spend most of my time playing, feeding, walking and lounging around with all different dogs and cats, no matter what their ages or sizes
“Dana accepted our request within a week of the stay, so we were so thankful she could fit us in last minute. Our cat is very nervous around new people and hides the first couple days but Dana let us know that she came out to eat and sit near her which doesn’t happen everytime. We felt a good energy the moment we met Dana and felt comfortable leaving our baby there with her. She sent us photos and words each day of the stay, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out again if needed. Thank you so much Dana!!!!”
“Michelle and Dane did an awesome job watching Barley while we were on a cruise. She sent updates that we would receive when we arrived in port. He enjoyed being able to snuggle with them.”

“Denise did a great job in visiting my two cats. She played with them and spoke gently to them. I’m looking forward to Denise having more quality time with them. Thank you so much Denise for watching my kitties.”
“Montana was wonderful and perfect for our dear Katie, cat. We are so grateful that it all worked out well. We shall reserve with Montana the next time we are away, in February or March. Thank you very much, Montana!”
“Tracy is an excellent sitter. She showed genuine care for our cats, brought them fun toys, and spent time petting them and playing with them. We loved getting updates and photos from her. When we came back home, we could tell our cats had been happy and safe. We recommend Tracy without a doubt and we’ll definitely book her in the future.”
“Channing was amazing! She cared for our 4 cats over a period of one week. She sent daily updates and pictures so we knew our furbabies were taken care of very well. I definitely recommend her to anyone and everyone!!”
“Irina is so good to my cats. They love her too so it’s great. This is my third having her watch my cats and I’m always very comfortable. She takes pictures and responds quickly to texts. Thank you Irina for everything you do.”
“Amanda was absolutely fantastic and saved us in a pinch when another sitter stopped responding the day before our trip! She was so accommodating and took amazing care of our two kitties! They loved her right away and she loved them like we would have. She communicated so well and sent photos to update us and was truly pleasant to work with! So glad we found a sitter here we can trust! Will definitely be booking her next time we travel!”
“In over 30+ years of needing to use pet sitters at various times, I am thrilled to have found Eni, who is the best of the best! I couldn’t ask for a better cat sitter for my senior kitty. I highly recommend her to others and will continue to use her in the future! Her daily updates were always reassuring and she spent quality time with my kitty.”
About: I've lived with cats, raised cats, taken care of my friends cats while they're out of town, and more. I do not currently have any, but I'm no stranger to the ins and outs of cat ownership, whether you have an outdoor, or indoor cat. I'm happy to swing by, make sure they're good to go with everything, I can give medication, and can engage with them and keep them company if you have a cat that enjoys interaction!
“Gretchen is amazing! I’m so happy to have found her. My kitties were well loved and cared for. She went above and beyond what I asked for. We are so grateful and hope to have her back next time.”
“Betty is an absolute doll! She worked very hard to get our cat to come out from hiding to play and before the end of the week our cat was eating out of Betty’s hands!! She sent photos and video which is awesome! We will definitely call her again when we travel. ?”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was 5 years old. I grew up in a house with 2-3 cats at a time, have pet sat and administered medications to older and sick cats, and have bottle fed newborn kittens as well. Any cat that visits in my home will remain separated from my dogs for their own privacy and secure space
“Jennifer is amazing! Our babies were very happy, she loved them up for us while we were gone & took great care of them. Would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing someone & will surely wish to have her take care of our babies again. To note, this was very last minute as our plans changed & she provided us comfort before & during our absence knowing they were being loved up & well taken care of. Thanks Jennifer”
About: I am a dedicated pet parent to a one-eyed Shih Tzu and two cats. My experience caring for pets with different needs has taught me how to provide attentive, compassionate, and dependable care. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I will make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you're away. My schedule is flexible on weekends, allowing me to provide dedicated care and attention to your pets. During the week, I am available after 5:00 PM for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and evening care. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's routine and am committed to providing dependable, loving care when you need it most. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to feel confident when leaving your pet in someone else's care. I provide frequent updates, photos, and communication throughout each visit so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I take the time to learn your pet's routine, preferences, and any special needs to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
“Klaudia is amazing! Lots of videos and picture updates. And letting me know about small things that she is noticing that might not be normal with my cat, Pandia. Pandia seems to love her and is excited when she comes over already (and she isn’t always interested in everyone). Klaudia is also really fast at responding and is a very good communicator- is clear about what days she can for sure work and what days she can’t and asks questions to clarify things- which I really appreciate. Would definitely highly recommend her.”
“I had to stay out of town a bit longer than expected, so I was immediately worried about getting my cat check on. I chatted with Jordan in the morning, and she was over at my house caring for my cat only a few hours later. She sent me photos, and updated me every step of the time she was there. I couldn't have asked for anything more. I'll definitely have Jordon stop by from here on out when I can't be home. Thank you so much ?”
“Lisa is such a sweetheart & did such a wonderful job with Blue! Blue had a great time with her & she clearly cares about animals. She was so kind & would always send photos or videos of our Blue, it was so reassuring to see how happy she was & in good hands while we were away. We would higher her again in a heartbeat & highly recommend such an awesome woman! Oh, she also gives massages which were super awesome!”

“Koda loved his daycare with Tara. He had so much fun. Tara kept me in the loop all day with pictures and how he was doing. It is obvious she loves the fur babies and she takes very good care of them. 🥰”
“We needed a sitter on short notice to attend a funeral. Joyce responded right away that she could do a meet and greet with our pup the next day and take her for daycare the following day. Upon meeting Joyce you can tell Joyce is a dog lover and is experienced with them. She took our chocolate lab on a couple long walks and sent pictures throughout the day. Thanks Joyce!”
“Excellent. Teri is a great care giver. Easy transition going in & out. She sent us pictures and updates. Teri is a good person who has rescued 3 dogs previously to give them a loving home. Our world needs more people like her. I will definitely recommend and rebook with Teri.”
“Sophie's daycare time with Connie went perfectly. Sophie was happy on arrival and, though happy on my return to pick her up, seemed totally content to stay if she needed to. Connie's home is clean and as well-cared for as her canine clients. I'm so glad I found her on Rover and highly recommend her services.”
“Robin eagerly welcomed my best little friend into her lovely home and kept me posted on how he was doing throughout the day. She is very kind and attentive. Highly recommend!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and love taking care of them. I will treat yours like my own, and be diligent to be aware of its unique desires and needs. I am home most of the time, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your furry friend! I love getting to know all the different kinds of animals that we bring in. I provide a safe a comfortable environment for your furry one. I live in a great neighborhood that is dog walking friendly. We have a sweet lab who is welcoming to all of the pets that we sit for.
About: I've owned dogs & cats my entire life. I helped in my brother's kennel, caring for & cleaning up after pitbulls, so "scary" dog breeds don't seem scary to me. :) I have cared for senior cats & dogs. I have experience in giving both medication, orally & topically. I have 8+ years of personal experience with rats, so I am more then happy to work with rodents & other small mammals! I have plenty of experience cleaning cages. I have experience caring for senior rats, as well as giving oral & topical medications. I have experience keeping freshwater fish. I know how to do water changes, replace filter cartages, vacuum gravel, comb sand, test water parameters, ect. I do not own birds, however, I have pet sat with them before. I currently pet sit for a caique & a macaw regularly. I have experience cleaning cages. I do not have experience giving birds any medication. I have limited experience with reptiles & invertebrates, however, I do not fear any of them. I am willing to learn how to care for both. Pet care is mostly what I do! I live with 4 cats, rats, and fish - If I am not caring for my pets at home, I am caring for pets in another home! I do pet/house sitting for four dogs and two birds at least once a month. I am comfortable staying overnight in a clients house, and if the animals need around the clock care, I can stay in-home without issue. When it comes to caring for other people's pets, I like following their instructions best! I love having rules, times, ect listed out for me. Does your pooch need breakfast at 7am sharp, with a sprinkle of cheese and 30 seconds in the microwave? Does your bird like to watch a sitcom before bed? Does your kitty NEED their favorite pillow fluffed in the evening? Does your older puppy relax best with a warmed up blanket? Well, just let me know and I'll try my very hardest to make sure your best friends are comfortable while you're away. Being away from one another is hard, both on the pets and their loving owners, so I enjoy sending photos of our fuzzy friends to their people.
“Fantastic place and person to leave your pet. Marcela loves and takes special care of each of her day care pets. There is a big yard about 3 acres for your pet to run around with there fellow day care residents.”
“I found out the day before that I needed a sitter for my 8 month old, yet to be neutered, tank of a puppy, Apollo. Having previously left him with only family members, and only a handful of times, we were a little nervous. When we first got there, Apollo immediately seemed to feel comfortable, not even looking back at me. I received photos a few hours in, and when it was time to pick him up, Apollo was trying to climb into a lap (he’s 75 lbs), and was being praised as a love, cuddle bug! Overall positive, seamless experience and I would book again.”
About: My husband & I had a wonderful time with our beloved dogs over the past 16 years. Unfortunately our two seniors recently passed. Both of us grew up with dogs and can’t imagine a life without them, which means we have lots of love and time to give to your furrbabies. We just adopted a very sweet puppy. Peppa does not bark and gets along very well with other dogs. She is very gentle, and sometimes shy, but also very nosy and can’t wait to play with her new friends. We will make sure to do anything we can to make your Puppies as comfortable and happy as our Peppa during their stay with us. We only take one client at the time and up to 3 dogs max from the same household. 🐾 I am home 24/7, which means your furrbaby would never be alone and I can always make sure your pet is happy, loved and safe. We have a large, fully fenced yard that will give your puppy a lot of room to run and play in between walks. Our first priority is that your pet is safe and feels loved. We have used Rover frequently our selves in the past for our doggies, so we know how important it is to know, that your puppy is happy and safe while you are away. We will update with pictures and videos so you can relax and do not have to worry.
“Ana was amazing! We met her a couple days before and she and her dog Lex immediately connected with our pup, and then this morning when we went to drop our pup off, she happily trotted in the house to meet Lex instead of freaking out like she normally does when we leave her! She had a great day, we got a bunch of pictures, and she was clearly very happy when we picked her up. Very glad to have found Ana!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—pets have always been part of my family, not just something I “look after.” Caring for them comes naturally to me, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have hands-on experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I was trained in dog handling and basic training (including puppies), and while I’m not formally certified in the U.S., my experience comes from years of real, everyday care. I’m especially patient and calm with nervous, senior, or special-needs pets. I’m very comfortable caring for senior dogs, including giving medications and following special routines. I pay close attention to details because I know how important comfort, safety, and consistency are for pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, cats, hamsters, reptiles, fish, and more. One of my most meaningful experiences was nursing my Russian hamster, Tim, back to health after pneumonia—an experience that truly reflects how committed I am when an animal depends on me. My heart dog, Axl, was with me for 14 years and passed in Thanksgiving week of 2025. He taught me how deeply pets are part of our families, and how hard it can be to trust someone else with their care. That’s why my goal is to give pet parents peace of mind, knowing their pet is safe, respected, and genuinely loved. I communicate clearly, follow instructions carefully, and always focus on making pets feel calm, secure, and at home. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention, playtime, and companionship they need throughout the day. Since I don’t work outside the home, I’m able to be present, follow routines closely, and adjust to each pet’s needs. I’m available for boarding any day of the week and can provide consistent care, supervision, and lots of one-on-one time. In my home, pets are cared for in a safe, calm, and loving environment. I have a fully fenced yard and a screened lanai for fresh air and supervised outdoor time. Since my dog Axl passed last November, I don’t have any other pets at home, which allows me to give my full attention to your pet. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime, and rest. I also have two kids who enjoy helping with gentle playtime (always supervised), which many pets love. I make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and treated like part of the family. I provide consistent care, updates, and lots of affection—so your pet feels relaxed and at ease while you’re away.
“Nala seemed very at ease with Floyd and his wife. She is a very timid dog so I was happy to see her just walk off with them. They send pictures of her settling right into their home. I don’t just trust anyone with my baby, but I get good vibes from them.”
“We are so grateful to have found Taylor to take care of our fur baby Bowser. He has really bad separation anxiety so he can’t be left alone. Taylor made sure he received lots of play, attention, and love. He seemed very happy when we picked him up. She sent lots of photos and was very communicative. We will be calling her again next time we need a sitter 🫶”
“Jeanne was great with my big and my little kids. She really cares about dogs and spoils them with fresh cooked chicken treats! I would definately recommend Jeanne for daycare and overnight!”

“Christine loves what she does. The dogs recognize it, so do the dog owners. She is very reliable and always keeps me updated. I highly recommend her. She seems to have a natural ability with dogs.”
About: I have dachshunds at home. Sheldon is 13 and Sophie is 3. My animals are my babies. I am reliable, organized, honest and communicate daily when watching your pet. I can accommodate most last minute bookings and can follow special requests/needs for your kids. I am looking to build a good, long lasting relationship with my clients to care for your pets consistently throughout the years. I have pet experience with medical conditions such as IVDD, diabetes, cushings, asthma, etc. I am familiar with all of the poisonous plants, foods, toxins in your home and dangerous wildlife in our area. I take the safety of your baby seriously, just as if they were my own. I've been watching friends, family & neighbor's fur kids since I was in high school. work from home as a social media manager, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I rarely am ever out of town (away from my kids)- so more than likely I can look after your kids! 🐾🐶🐱 I like to treat animals as if they were my own. How would I want a sitter to be with my baby? Kind, patient, fun, and always safe. I don't mind texting check-in photos or a short summary of my visit. I am easy to communicate with and will be happy to keep a routine and do my best to follow instructions for your kids.
“Norah is truly the best! She goes above and beyond for our boys every single time. She even surprised them with their own balls for the dog park, which just shows how thoughtful and invested she is. Norah is always timely, incredibly communicative, and sends the best photos that clearly show how happy and well cared for our dogs are. We have total peace of mind knowing they’re with her. Thank you, Norah — we’re so grateful to have you!”
“This was our first time having Channing walk our dog and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! She was very communicative with us and caring toward Ollie! Highly recommend!”
“Tara has been excellent with my timid rescue Chow Chow. She figured out how to charm her and more importantly to get her to trust that she could go for walks and enjoy herself. Tara has been very helpful to get her the exercise that she needs. More than that you can tell that she cares about our dog. Tara keeps me informed on every detail about Rosie’s walk and her visit.”

“Betty took great care of our dog Henry! Very professional and communicative when we talked. She was proactive about checking if Henry was comfortable walking in the rain, clearly thinking of his best interests. We’d definitely book again!”
“We are closing out another great year with Eni. She is a wonderful walker for any pups but especially if you have a pup that needs a little extra care or patience like my little guy. She does wonders for him when he gets anxious away from me. ❤️”

About: Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom and lifelong animal lover, which means your pup will receive plenty of love, attention, and supervision throughout the day—never long hours home alone. I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time so I can provide personalized care and make every guest feel like part of the family. My home has a secure, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, sniff, and enjoy plenty of outdoor time. Inside, they’ll have a clean, comfortable environment with lots of cuddles, playtime, and opportunities to relax. I do my best to keep your dog’s routine as close to home as possible, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, administering medication, or providing extra potty breaks and exercise. I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pet behind, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is simple: for your dog to have so much fun that they’re excited to come back for their next visit. I can’t wait to welcome your furry family member into our home! My boys are now in elementary school, so I have extra time on my hands & wanted to help my husband financially. I also don’t travel much for holidays as I have a large family, so I am around for all your Holiday vacation needs! I follow good instructions, so whatever you say is whatever I do! Guaranteed! I have a big dog and a medium sized dog so I am comfortable with all types & sizes of dogs. I will also leave you a note in regards to everything that happens with your furry love.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, frogs, rats. I love all animals and grew up with just about every type of pet you can imagine! I currently have two Pitbull/Staffordshire mixes. They are great friends and the best part of my life at home:) Sometimes their friend Raven, a black German Shepherd visits, however she does not live here full time. I work night shift so I would be happy to care for your pets on my nights off or during evening hours when I am home from work I have a fully fenced in yard for potty breaks. Any walks and home watches will be done with as much attention and care for your pet as possible!
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have actually pet sat for a few of my friends before whether it’s a bunny, dog or cat I can handle it! Most of my weekly routine consists of working part-time at a movie theater, going to the gym, and attending church and adult youth group. Outside of that, I have plenty of flexibility, so pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I enjoy spending time with animals and I’ll always make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I promise to take them on walks and provide everything your pet needs no matter what it may be.
About: I have taken care of multiple different dogs all my life and then shifted to dogs and cats. I am great with multiple animals and ensuring that they are well taken care of.

My animals will be completely separated from yours per request. My animals are very loving and sweet however I totally understand the safety concern when leaving your pets with someone else. Your furry loved one will be in a large area where they can run and play or crated if requested. I have plenty of yard space for them to be able to walk and play.

About: Your Pet's Home Away From Home with a Lifetime Animal Enthusiast I'd be honored to welcome your beloved pets into my home! My life has been devoted to animals, starting on a ranch where I gained hands-on experience with everything from horses, dogs, and cats to chickens and beyond. As a retired horse trainer and long-time dog breeder, I bring a wealth of knowledge in animal health, behavior, and communication. I've personally trained service dogs for mobility, and I'm passionate about helping dogs overcome behavioral challenges. With your permission, I can address specific training needs your dog might have, such as potty training, leash manners, or breaking other bad habits, ensuring their time with me is both enjoyable and productive. Rest assured, your pets will be treated as cherished members of my family during their stay. Our home is a calm, adult-only environment, providing a peaceful and safe space for your companions. I'm available at anytime to make sure your pet is well taken care of. I have dedicated my life to animals and I love it. With many years of dedicated experience across a diverse range of animals, I offer exceptional pet care grounded in health, compassion, and understanding. My extensive background includes not only general animal well-being but also specialized expertise in handling animals with specific needs and successfully training dogs and other animals through positive methods. We do not have any small children or any children. Just adults that love animals. I'm committed to ensuring every pet under my care feels loved, safe, and comfortable. My flexible availability means I can accommodate your pets' schedules and individual requirements at any time. Pets always have fresh water and are fed as scheduled by the pet owner. We do board cats and they are kept in a seprate area of our home. We have a very large lani and pool and a small dog pool available for your pets. Your pets will never be unsupervised when they are in our pool area. I have a very large screened in lani that the dogs can run and play in. I do have a small fenced area for little dogs. I do not leave the dogs outside unattended due to risk of over heating, escaping, cane toads, poisonous snakes and fire ants. I walk the dogs as many times as they need to, to go potty. I've been told by multiple pet parents that other sitters just put their dogs out in a yard unsupervised and their dogs were attacked by other dogs. I'm always supervising your dogs.
About: I am such a happy person who LOVES all animals and the more they play they more excited I am! I am very adaptable to your dog/cat needs. If they like to play, I will wear out every toy they own! If your furry friend likes to lounge around, I am absolutely okay with being a couch potato for the day! I am able to match your dog/cat personality and daily activities and enjoy it every second of the day we spend together! I promise that if you hire me you will see how I get along with your furry family member and all your worries will be set to ease and you will be able to see first hand how well I handle all animals! I am a Nurse who has some extra time on her hands looking to play, walk, or spend quality time with your furry friend while you are away! I have a varying schedule but I am always up front about my availability! I always ask for detailed schedules or information about your pets so I know what they are used to and can keep things the same while you’re gone so it doesn’t feel like anything has changed and can keep their comfort level roughly the same
About: Hi, I’m Klaudia! I know how quickly pet-sitting costs can add up, especially when you have more than one pet! While my standard rates are comparable to others in the area, I keep my additional-pet rates lower so families with multiple animals don’t have to pay a huge amount just to make sure everyone is cared for. More pets just means more love to go around! :) I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with four dogs, both big and small, so I’m very comfortable around all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve developed a real love for both dogs and cats, and honestly, animals just bring me so much joy. I also worked in the Pet Care department at PetSmart for about a year, which gave me great experience caring for fish, reptiles, and small animals. I’m confident handling a wide variety of pets, whether they have paws, fins, or scales! I do have pets of my own, so while I can’t offer multiple consecutive overnight stays in your home, I’m happy to do an occasional one-night stay when it fits your needs. I’m also fully open to boarding your pets in my home if you’d prefer someone who can be around them more consistently or if they simply feel more comfortable having company while you’re away. I’m happy to work with you to find whatever option makes the most sense for you and keeps your pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for! 🐾 I typically work 6–7 hour shifts about five days a week, but outside of work, I’m pretty much a homebody! I don’t go out, so when I’m not working, I’m usually at home and able to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. If you give me enough advance notice, I can also request time off or adjust my schedule to accommodate your pets and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, feedings, potty breaks, and care while you’re away. :) For boarding, I have a three-bedroom home with a large, fully fenced backyard surrounded by a white privacy fence, so there’s plenty of room for your pet to feel comfortable and secure. I also have enough space inside my home to keep visiting pets separate from my own while they settle in and to do slow, proper introductions when appropriate. If you’d prefer that your pet stay completely separate from my animals for their entire stay, I’m more than happy to accommodate that as well. For house sitting, I follow whatever routine you prefer for your pets and home. I’ll care for your animals as if they were my own and do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I also always make sure to leave your home clean and tidy before I go! Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾

“The best ever!!! She was so amazing to our boy Louie I will always go to her!!! She is so easy going and so good at communicating and updates about our baby boy. Couldn’t have found a better person to watch our dog.”
“Kimber has watched my dog more than once, and every time has been wonderful! She is sure to take exceptional care of your pup, my dog has always had a good time there, he will be going back whenever we travel :-)”
“Marcela and her husband took amazing care of our energetic puppy Snoopy and our little lap dog Mochi! They sent us pictures and videos every day to keep us posted. They have a beautiful home that is set up perfectly for dog sitting! Our dogs loved running around their huge fenced in yard chasing Marcela on the golf cart ? they had a blast! She even tended to their medical needs as Snoopy had a mild ear infection before he arrived and needed pills and drops daily. They came home happy, clean and tired which I’m grateful for! We highly recommend them and will definitely use them again! They treated our boys like family ? ❤️”
“Our St. Bernard loves staying with Joyce. She loves the time with other dogs and Joyce is so good to send us pics and videos throughout her stay. Er couldn’t be happier. Thank you Joyce, for accepting our last minute needs. You always come shining through for us. Thank you!!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life and have always enjoyed the unique experience each one brings with them from their personalities. I have a large backyard of 2 lots fenced in together for my Doberman so that we have lots of space to play and he can really stretch his legs. He loves playing with other dogs and we are hoping to make lots of new friends, both with fur and without. I do most of my work from home, Sunday- Wednesday I am home all day, and I do have my 10 year old son after school on those days, but we go for multiple walks, and do playtime in the yard which is 1/2 acre and fenced in. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, I do work but typically only 5-6 hours outside the home. If I am going to be working longer on a day where you're booked I will communicate that ahead of time. I have 1/2 acre, my back yard is large and entirely closed in so it's safe and secure to let multiple dogs outside to roam, run, and play with no worries. I have a large run that I have completely cleared out for playing catch with my doberman so he can really stretch his legs and get going. I do let the animals in my house, and they will spend most of the time inside when it's hot, with frequent opportunities to go outside and play/ exercise. Inside if the dogs are playing together, I usually leave them to enjoy each other, otherwise I frequently engage with them with whatever toys they want to play with as the day goes on and they're not napping.
“Britney is truly amazing. She’s been our go to sitter since last November. This time we had to go out of town with little advance notice. Britney responded very quickly that she would watch our dog. She eagerly took on the care of our dog despite the dog having a strain knee ligament. While Britney pampered Luna, she noted that the injury seemed more than just a strain. She contacted me and help us out by taking Luna to the vet for an x-ray. Turns out it was a tear, no a strain. I’m n order to keep Luna off the leg, she even slept on the couch and the floor with Luna! That is caring. I can’t praise her enough!”
“Jacqueline was great! She took my dog and cat on very short notice for a few days, and they had a wonderful time. She gave them lots of attention and checked in every day with pictures and updates.”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of all different kinds of breeds and have all the time of the day todo so, I truly enjoy them I currently work part time remotely, so therefore my availability and time always there to take care of the animals that I have and love I spend most of my time playing, feeding, walking and lounging around with all different dogs and cats, no matter what their ages or sizes
“Dana accepted our request within a week of the stay, so we were so thankful she could fit us in last minute. Our cat is very nervous around new people and hides the first couple days but Dana let us know that she came out to eat and sit near her which doesn’t happen everytime. We felt a good energy the moment we met Dana and felt comfortable leaving our baby there with her. She sent us photos and words each day of the stay, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out again if needed. Thank you so much Dana!!!!”
“Michelle and Dane did an awesome job watching Barley while we were on a cruise. She sent updates that we would receive when we arrived in port. He enjoyed being able to snuggle with them.”
“Tammy & her family were awesome watching my French Bulldog. It was the first time I ever left her for a long period of time and they were kind enough to reassure me that she was doing well and I felt so comfortable from the moment I met them. They walked her, bathed her & sent pictures daily and were great at communicating consistently. I would definitely recommend and will be reaching out for future petsitting! Thanks again:)”
“My first time leaving Gus with Kathy and her and her husband made him feel right at home, he had a blast there. They sent pictures to keep me updated on how he was doing. I will definitely be leaving him there again.”
“Linda and her family have always taken excellent care of our dogs and we are very thankful for her help when we have to go out of town. She is excellent with senior dogs and giving medications and has even helped with grooming and bathing. She always keeps us updated and goes above and beyond to give all the dogs she cares for a happy and positive experience. We have no worries at all when we leave our pets with her and we'd highly recommend her to anyone. Thanks!”
“We always use Jennifer for planned and last minute trips. Our Koda boy gets so excited everytime we get to her house. Open communication, she updates us with any issues. We get frequent pictures! She makes us feel good about leaving our dog there!”
