“My dogs really seemed to enjoy their stay with Christina. For the first time ever at a sitters, they did not bark like crazy when I came back. They were very calm (their usual state when at home) which made me very happy. She sent me photos every day, which was very nice.”
“Muffin had such a great time with Marianne and Christopher. He made a new friend in their lovely pup Gizmo and seemed to enjoy having a big backyard to sunbath in for the weekend. Definitely plan to use these two awesome dog parents in the future!”
“Marquita was a wonderful sitter! She kept me updated on my pup and took really good care of him. So grateful for the safe and loving environment she provided my boy while we were out of town❤️”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Joan and Jerry took wonderful care of Spike while I was away. He can be a little particular—he's an older dog with dietary restrictions, doesn't care much for other animals, and takes some time to warm up to new people—but they were incredibly patient, attentive, and understanding of his needs. They kept me updated, followed all of his instructions, and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. It's never easy leaving your pet behind, especially one with a few quirks, but I felt completely comfortable with Spike in their care. I would absolutely recommend Joan and Jerry to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate pet sitters and would gladly book with them again. Thank you both for taking such great care of my boy! ❤️🐾”
“Our pups love Alli! We’ve had her sit them multiple times and already have plans for her to sit them again. She sends multiple pictures everyday and our dogs seem to have a blast there with her pup!”
“They were amazing! Super reliable, friendly, and treated our dog like family. They sent lots of photos and video updates, which gave us such peace of mind. We came home to a very happy pup. Highly recommend!”
“We had such a wonderful experience boarding our dog with Preston and his wife while we were on vacation in the area from WV! We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands and being well cared for. We received updates and could tell he was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We truly appreciate the love and attention he received and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their fur baby! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Our girls had an amazing time with Angela and Kenneth. I wasn’t sure they would want to come home ? we will definitely be in touch when need a home away from home for our girls in the future. Thank you for treating them like your own, we appreciate it so much!”
“I really appreciate Kristen being available during the holiday season. My pet fit right in with her family pets. Kristen is very friendly and her home is cozy. I hope she is available for my next booking!”
“Cathy continues to be OUR FAVORITE sitter for our senior girl Oreo. She loves Oreo so much, and Oreo is right at home there with her. When we have to travel I sleep better knowing that our pup is in great hands and comfy at her home away from home. Cathy, thanks for being the best and loving Oreo so much. We are grateful for you!”
“David was amazing! Thunder and I were so happy and felt very safe and comfortable having nrhiser staying with him! Will definitely be back. Thank you so much! Sent pictures all the time and he gave Thunder love as I do 😊”
“Norma was wonderful about sending me pictures and updates throughout the time my dog was with her and her family. I was a bit nervous since this was my first time of leaving my dog with a stranger. I don’t feel like she is a stranger anymore and I am happy I have someone I am comfortable leaving my dog with when needed.”
“Debbie was an incredible sitter for our two pups while we were on vacation. Her calm demeanor and excellent communication made the entire experience stress-free. It's clear that she genuinely cares and loves animals, as our pups were well cared for and happy during our time away. She makes your pups feel like they are at home. Debbie's warm personality creates an inviting atmosphere, making both pets and their parents feel at ease. Thanks to her, we were able to fully enjoy our vacation, knowing our pups were in fantastic hands and well loved. Highly recommend her services!”
“I was so worried Pilot would be anxious since we’ve never left him with anyone. Well Stephen was so GREAT! He sent several pictures daily and responded to my texts right away. He made me feel at ease and I could see Pilot was happy and made a new friend in sweet Bodhi ? as well! Would give him 10 stars!”
“Brittany and Stephen were so warm and welcoming to my dog Charlie. Made it so much easier to leave him with them while I was away. They were great staying in touch with daily pictures and updates that put my mind at ease. Would definitely recommend them💗”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 20. My family has had birds, fish, turtles, cats and dogs. Kimmy is the first dog I got when I moved from my parent's house and I have had her since she was a puppy, we moved to this country from Guatemala (I'm a Spanish speaker) and of course, wherever I go, she will go! We recently added (adopted) Cairo and BonBon to our family. I have volunteered in shelters as a dog walker and have fostered pets. ( currently, I’m volunteering in a shelter around the area as a Dog walker). So I have experience with different types of dogs and I can handle different personalities and needs. I have taken care of family and friends' pets for years, my experience goes from high-energy huskies and playful pitties to delicate and high-maintenance chihuahuas. Also, I can take care of fish or turtles since I have done it since I was a kid. I'm very careful with my furbabies and treat them like royalty, rest assured I’ll treat your babies like mine! Im currently working from home, and my schedule is usually free on weekends, so If you need a quick vacation I have time to take care of your pet and make them feel comfortable. Also, I like to dedicate to one family at a time, so you can have that peace of mind when you are away. I can take them for walks or just ensure they are safe and feel comfy in their own space, depending on their temper and routine. I’ll focus 100 % on them and accommodate their needs. We have a fenced patio and a dog park near by our home. They will never be unsupervised, my husband is also here almost all day, so they will never be alone. For the more shy babies, I have a crate and space to set a safe/comfy space for them. Also, if you prefer, I can set a separate space for them away and ensure they are not around my pets.
“Molly was amazing with my 12-week old puppy! Sent tons of pic/video updates, administered meds including foam when he was itching. She had her sweet Olive girl + other pups during the stay - Molly actively supervised play, had separate feedings, and ensured there was no resource guarding which put my mind at such ease. Tribe will only to Molly’s from now on!!”

“Teresa is outstanding. We are very confident when traveling that our cats are shown love and affection, and that their needs are met. It was the little things she did for them/us is why we will continue to utilize Teresa. We highly recommend her.”
“Sydney took fabulous care of my girl Louis while I was out of town. She gave regular updates and sent lots of pics, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. 10/10 would recommend/rebook”
“Gail P. was excellent, going the extra effort for my kitties. Very good communication and sent photo daily. I was able to relax and know all was under control. I definitely recommend. Thanks!”
About: I have a combination of professional pet care experience and firsthand experience caring for a cat with complex medical needs. I rescued my cat Smokey after finding him crying in a storm drain during college, and over the years I’ve managed chronic cardiac issues with him that required close monitoring, medications, routine changes, and constant attention to behavior and symptoms. This experience has made me extremely observant, patient, and detail oriented when it comes to feline care. I’m very comfortable following detailed care instructions, monitoring for subtle behavior changes, maintaining clean feeding and litter areas, and helping cats feel safe and comfortable in their normal environment. I know cats can be sensitive to change, so I focus heavily on consistency, calm energy, and respecting each cat’s boundaries and personality.
About: I’ve never owned a cat or have taken care of one at my home due to family members having allergies, but I’d certainly be available to checking in on cats at another’s house. I’m good at playing with cats and giving them attention, plus I don’t mind cleaning a litter box and switching out the clumping litter.
About: I’m a cat mom to Winston, our 14-lb, half-Maine Coon fluffy prince! His big personality keeps us entertained, but he’s also taught me that cats each have their own needs and boundaries. I’m comfortable giving cats space when they want it, attention when they ask for it, and plenty of treats along the way.
“Hailey took such great care of my cat. Though I'm not planning anymore trips right away, i will definitely rebook her. I highly recommend her! My cat is super shy with new people, but with Hailey, they were fast friends and my kitty absolutely loved her. I'm so thankful that I found her.”
About: I've done a little bit of formal cat sitting before for a family. I was sitting for 3 adult cats then. Asides, I've had up to 10 kittens that I fostered at one time. I have done bottle feeding for kittens too. I had a pet cat before too. I am familiar with cats' needs and will ensure everything runs smoothly.
About: As a cat owner myself, I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I have a 1.5-year-old cat named Muffin, so I’m experienced with daily care, playtime, feeding schedules, and giving cats the patience and attention they need. Having also cat sat for others, I know how important it is to provide reliable care and make sure both cats and their owners feel comfortable and at ease while they’re away.
“Angelina provided great care to my diabetic senior cat while I was away. She was prompt to each visit, highly communicative and detailed in her reports! I’m so happy we found Angelina, and we will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Every cat has a unique personality and comfort level. Through my own personal experience and studies in animal care, I have learned to recognize subtle changes in behavior, appetite, and activity that can indicate stress or health concerns. I respect each cat's boundaries and take the time to build trust at their pace, whether they are social and playful or more reserved. I am also comfortable administering medications when needed and ensuring cats maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. My goal is to provide a calm, safe, and enriching environment that keeps both cats and their owners comfortable and confident.
About: I’m a proud boy cat mom who rescued my sweet kitty from the streets — and it didn’t take long for me to become completely obsessed with him. From earning his trust to spoiling him with love, I’ve learned the patience, care, and attention that cats need to feel safe and happy. I understand their unique personalities and quirks, and I’ll treat your cat with the same affection and respect I give my own — making sure they feel loved, comfortable, and cared for every moment we’re together.

“Christina was wonderful with my pup Marley. She sent me many photos throughout the day of Marley and that was very nice to see that Marley was having such a good time!! Christina was wonderful!

About: Hi there! We are Jess and Chad, husband and wife, with a dashchund mix named Cooper. We both grew up with dogs in the home and started sitting on rover about 5 years ago so Cooper would have friends to play with and we all fell in love with the experience. We love having dogs over to hang out and snuggle. Cooper loves to be chased and sharing his space and then getting to go back to being an only child after the stay. We both work opposite schedules so someone is always home! We watch dogs because we all love it and for fun. This is not a job for us. We typically only watch 1-2 at a time so there is plenty of attention and 1 on 1 time for your dog! My husband and I both alternate work from home, so someone is always home to spend time with and care for your loved ones. We are pretty active, walking around the neighborhood or doing the project in the yard so the dogs will as much outdoor and walking time as they’d like. We also love a good movie or show, so nightly cuddles are encouraged! We have a spacious home with a fenced in yard. We have a nice park with walking paths nearby. Since our dog runs our home, he likes to keep the back door open and come and go into the fenced yard as he pleases, but we also are always going on walks or running around inside too.
About: I’m an athletic animal enthusiast with a lifelong love for dogs. I have 3 furry friends of my own, a dog and two cats, so I understand the joy and responsibility of caring for pets. I enjoy long walks, playtime, and learning each pet’s unique personality. I especially love training and engaging with dogs, whether they’re playful puppies or seniors, making sure every animal feels happy and safe. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I enjoy starting my day with walks, playtime, and feeding, and I can adjust my schedule to provide consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the week. I’m flexible with morning, afternoon, or evening visits and can accommodate special needs or longer care sessions when needed. I create a safe, loving environment for every pet, whether in my home or yours. I supervise all interactions, maintain clean spaces, and follow any specific instructions regarding food, medications, or routines. I build trust gradually by learning each pet’s personality, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for, and I communicate regularly with owners to keep them informed and confident in my care.
About: With 7 years of pet care experience and 20+ Rover reviews, I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and trustworthy caring for your pets while you’re away. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, personalities, and routines. I make it a priority to follow your care instructions closely, keep your pet’s normal routine consistent, and give them plenty of attention and companionship. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular photo and video updates throughout the stay. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pets, and your home, are being well cared for. I work remotely, which gives me flexibility to spend plenty of time with your pets throughout the day. I’m available for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, drop-ins, and overnight care depending on your pet’s normal routine. I always do my best to keep their schedule as close to what they’re accustomed to at home. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and trustworthy environment whether we’re at your home or mine. I’m happy to crate your dog if needed and always follow your preferences closely.
About: I WORK FROM HOME SO AM AVAILABLE ALL DAY TO HANG WITH YOUR FAVORITE!!! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and the past 6 years around the goodest boy, Brewer, who is my cat. I’m an ex-athlete and still show up 15 minutes early so you can guarantee I’ll be there for your favorite family member. I have the same amount of photos of Brewer as I do my wife so sending you lots of photos during my visits if that’s what you would like. I’m currently in my “off-season” of my job which means I work out, cook, give love to Brewer, and read every day with all other time allotted to this. I’m an only child but when people ask me if I have siblings I say, “Yes. A brother and sister named Scooby and Jelli.” have a son (pet cat named Brewer who literally looks like Garfield/Puss in Boots) who enjoys dog friends. I have a yard but not fenced in. I live right down the road from Walsingham Park which has a great dog park for small and big dogs. As a pet owner, you are literally your whole pet’s world and I get that. It sucks having to leave your favorite family member so I will do my best to make it easier while you are gone.
“Dogs were so excited and transitioned smoothly once they got over their excitement. Erica communicated and let me know how they were doing and they had a great time. They were calm and happy upon my return and have been sleeping since. :)”
“Mr James was a lifesaver today and extremely accommodating… I couldn’t ask for a most accommodating, loving plus kind person to take of my puppy today which was unexpected and in an emergency basis🤍 forever grateful!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, and have specifically been pet sitting for 10 years. I love animals and my goal is to open my own doggy daycare one day. I care for other peoples pets as well as I care for my own, and will do whatever I can to make your furry friend the most comfortable in my care.

About: I have a solid foundation in pet care, having spent time caring for my own animals over the years as well as the pets of others. My focus is on creating a safe and enjoyable experience for pets, while also offering peace of mind to pet owners. Whether it’s for daily walks, extended stays, or one-on-one care, I’m dedicated to providing pets with the attention and love they deserve. I work a standard 8-5pm shift and work remotely which gives *some* flexibility to travel if needed. Other than that, mornings, evenings and weekends are completely flexible and opened allowing me to provide you consistent and reliable service. Leaving your pets is hard enough, knowing they are in good hands makes it just a little easier! I’d like to provide your pets with the same level of care, consideration and attention just as if they were my own. I’d ensure to maintain the pet's routine such as feedings, regular exercise and offer companionship along with any other specific care instructions required. Additionally, respecting your home is also part of my job-ensuring it is secure, tidy, and that the pet’s well-being is prioritized during my time with them.

About: I have done pet sitting for years now and love it. I have 2 dogs…..Wilson is a 12 year old Labradane, and Cooper a 4 year old red lab. Wilson is a very well-behaved and well-trained service dog, so sweet, gentle and respectful to other dogs. Cooper also has a heart of gold and is service in training. I am typically home every night and love to enjoy the outdoors on the weekends. I’m a home body so you won’t have to worry about me being away while I’m watching your baby.

“Jason was able to care for our 6 month old puppy, Teddy on short notice! We are so grateful to have found him. Teddy loves him, and came home a happy tired puppy. Thank you again!”
About: Hey! I’m Jenna and I am very excited at the opportunity to work with your fur baby. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have worked as a pet sitter and walker for all types of animals. I grew up with pet pigs, birds, and lizards since my siblings were allergic to fur. As I got older I was finally able to have a dog of my own. I adore all dog breeds, however bullies have a special place in my heart. Pets are part of the family and should be treated with that in mind. There are many animals in my life, but there is always room in my heart for more! I promise to treat your little , or big, one as my own and guarantee they will be spoiled to your standards. And don’t worry, you will be getting lots of photos to assure you your baby is enjoying their time! I am available for pop ins and overnights whether that is at your home or mine, I no longer have any pets living in my home, so yours will be the only one at the house. I am a very respectful and caring person, and understand the privacy of your home. I appreciate punctuality and communication when planning to work/working together. I know sometimes life happens and schedules have to be changed, and with the right communication I can be lenient to cancellations. I will make myself available as possible to be flexible to you and your pets needs! If you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out! *Tips are never expected, but always appreciated! <3 I mostly work from home so your pup will get lots of love and attention with my flexible schedule! When I do need to pop out and leave the house it’s typically no more than 4hrs. I am very attentive and treat your pet as if it’s my own. I get sad crating dogs, but will do it if it’s needed.
“Norma was excellent! Our pup is only 5 months and it was the first time he had gone away for Doggy Day Care and he had soooo much fun!! Norma took such good care of him and we are excited to bring him back!”
“Alexis has been great with our 6 month old puppy! Her and Patrick have been wonderful at helping out for last minute requests. Our little Aussie comes home exhausted after playing all day with her two super sweet goldens, and he’s always excited to go back to daycare! Would highly recommend to anyone in the area!”
About: Being around animals is truly a passion for me. I have a special place in my heart for animals and would have more of my own if I could. I have dog sat and walked several area families. I always appreciate knowing if any dog/cat needs special attention of any kind. It is helpful for both of us. I believe animals should be a part of one's family and I treat them all as family. I have a good size grassy fenced in yard to host your dog for the day or week. My schedule is flexible which allows me to be home certain days to accommodate your pet in my home or yours. I’m open to caring for a variety of animals with proper instructions. I am capable of handling more than one dog or cat. If you need a specific routine to check on your dog or cat please just let me know and I will do my best to accommodate those needs. Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions you may have for a safe and enjoyable visit in my home or yours! My yard is spacious and safe for all dogs. Please indicate if you have a dog that you prefer to play and exercise in the yard or if you would like me to take them around the neighborhood for a nice walk for exercise.
“Our dog has really enjoyed going to Laura's and loves playing with Duff. We appreciate the pictures and updates you send. We are looking forward to bringing her more and really appreciate your help when we work long days!”
About: Hi, I'm Lexi! I've grown up alongside 2-3 dogs, which has inspired my love for any and all animals! I've pet-sat a wide variety of animals (list is below) and have 3 years of experience volunteering at animal shelters. Their happiness is my happiness :) On Tues-Thurs, I work from 8a-5p (and I’m home from 12:20p-12:40p to check on my doggos). On Fri, Sat, Sun, and Mon, I’m off work and will be right there to hang out with your fur babies all day! They can freely roam inside and outside while I’m there (we have a indoor/outdoor sunroom and a fenced-in yard), they're allowed on beds/furniture, and I won’t practice crating unless I'm instructed to. I live right by a park, so I love taking my dogs for short walks or just to go roam around in the lawn, whatever they're in the mood for :) I'm super attentive to their needs, as I currently own two senior doggos (a beagle and a dachshund) and have been able to spot even the littlest physical/emotional changes in them. On that note, I’d prefer to ONLY board dogs that are not high-energy or territorial, so as to help keep my small senior dogs safe. I love keeping owners updated with pictures/texts to make them feel like their fur babies are right there with them! Animals I've cared for: Dogs, cats, leopard geckos, hognose snakes, hedgehogs, and White's tree frogs. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I love starting the day by taking my dogs to the park that's 2 min away for a walk. If they seem bored, I’ll give them a car ride or take them to PetSmart to shop around :) I have a fenced in yard and two senior dogs to keep your fur baby company. Your puppo is more than welcome to chill on our beds and couches (we have dog beds, too). We even have a guest room in case they want space! We live right by Walter Fuller recreational park.

“Jen went out of her way with my dogs to make sure they were comfortable with her before I went out of town. I have all rescues and one was very abused prior to adopting him. He is very shy and fearful of new people. Jen agreed to come a handful of times with me home and without me home for him to build a trusting relationship. It worked out so well. I would use her without hesitation any time I need a dogsitter if she is available! Thank you so much!”
About: I have taken care of dogs (family, friends, coworkers, personal) for over 10 years. My lab-mix Cooper is extremely well behaved and loves making new friends! I am working part-time from home so I have ample time on the weekends and evenings to care. Also have opportunity for walks early in the morning, if needed. I have a large fenced in backyard, doggie door for easy access to outside and have a love for dogs. I will treat every visitor like my own.
“Good experience with a focused meet and greet that gave me confidence in her ability to handle 2 medium sized energetic dogs. Good experience with the dog walk, no problems, received an update, house was as I left it upon my return. Will schedule worth her again.”
About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was a kid, I’ve always helped my mom care for the dogs and now I have one of my own. He is a husky so he’s a bit needy and can be difficult at times, but I love him so much. He is my best friend, we go on long walks, car rides and to the park all the time. I genuinely love animals and I could never do anything to hurt them. I am very patient and good at observing dogs behavior so I know when they need something. I am looking around for jobs but if this was my only job I can do it everyday no problem. But for me and my dog I handle pet care everyday. My life revolves around my dog, the second my feet touch the floor in the morning I take him out, make sure he has food and water. Play with him if he wants to and just make sure he’s taken care of and gets his exercise. It would be the same for clients pets, I’ll make sure they have everything they need and are taken care of as well as go to the bathroom and care for them as if they are my own! I will also clean up after them with no issues.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have experience caring for dogs through my own family, family friends, and my friends’ pets. While I don’t have professional pet-sitting experience yet, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m happy to follow each pet’s routine and provide any extra care they may need, including giving medication when necessary. I love going on walks, so I’d be excited to bring your pup along for plenty of exercise and fresh air! I’m also an aquarist and care for marine life, which has taught me to be responsible, observant, and attentive to animals’ individual needs. I truly love animals of all kinds and would treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I have a part-time work schedule that gives me plenty of availability to care for pets throughout the week. I’m able to make time for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and simply keeping your pet company. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and make sure they’re getting the care and attention they’re used to while you’re away. I also enjoy being active, so getting out for a walk is something I genuinely look forward to! I care for every pet as if they were my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and any routines or preferences your pet has. I have a fenced-in backyard that can be a great option for pets who may not be comfortable going on walks or who just enjoy some extra outdoor time. I do live with other animals, but I would always keep your pet separated at first and only allow introductions if it’s appropriate and everyone is comfortable. My priority is making sure your pet has a calm, safe environment and receives the individual attention they need.

About: 2 years of Rover experience! I just moved here from NH and looking for new clients! (Please note my 1 bad review was because I canceled last minute because my mother had a heart attack) - I was hired to work every month at my clients house for a year and absolutely loved it, where I even cooked for the dogs, administered medicine, and tracked their diet. There truly is not a rover sitter as passionate as myself! - As a young, energetic, and experienced pet sitter, I bring a selfless, athletic, and truly empathetic approach to caring for your pets. - I do everything from walks, feeding, cooking, eye drops and cleaning, medicine administration, playtime, and so much more. I truly make sure your animals are selflessly well cared for like my own. - I spent 2025 working almost every month with a client caring for their elderly dogs and cats in NH from 7 am to 11pm at night on a schedule created for them which I absolutely loved. -This included cooking for the dogs, poop pickup, medicine administration, plant watering, feeding, and light cleaning. - in addition to my 2 years working on rover with all types of animals, I’ve worked with athletic puppy breeds, cared for playful kittens, and owned a poodle for 10 years, giving me firsthand experience with a range of personalities and needs. My boyfriend has a 180lb mastiff and fish that I also co parent in my free time. - My background in house sitting and babysitting has instilled a strong sense of responsibility, but my true passion is caring for animals! I’m dedicated to keeping pets happy, active, and well-loved, ensuring they feel right at home while you’re away. I truly am 100% present, and make sure your pet is entertained, healthy, and happy. - If you have animals over 100 lbs please message me and I’ll refer you to Jackson Bartlett who is phenomenal with larger breeds and great with training as well! Mostly open with flexible schedule - I am self employed l at my own Airbnb in Peterborough while studying for my real estate license for a couple hours a week so my schedule is open and flexible any day of the week! I offer a safe and engaging environment, with a decently secluded backyard that’s perfect for a fun game of fetch. Although we don't have a fence yet, the backyard is on a lower level than the street, and we will use extended leashes if need be. We also have a large deck where dogs can relax and watch birds on the river and enjoy the surrounding wildlife. Whether in your home or mine, I ensure that pets are given plenty of attention, exercise, and love. My goal is to make them feel comfortable, happy, and well-cared for at all times.
About: I’ve traveled across the United States with my dogs, exploring incredible natural wonders together. They’re more than pets—they’re family, my pride and joy, and beautifully trained. That deep connection helps me understand and care for every dog as if they were my own. Send me your days my availability is very flexible! Most days I am free and I would love to get to know you’re fur babies My dogs are kenneled while I am away and my cats are separated in their rooms. If I am away at work during a boarding session your doggy will have to be kenneled. I do not allow unkenneled dogs roaming the house while I am not watching.
About: I have always had cats in my house. When friends and family leave town for any period of time, I am the one that watches their dogs and cats while they are gone. I love every animal I come across and always treat them as if they were my own because they are all precious family members. Always willing to learn anything new regarding caring for anybody's pets. I have extensive experience caring for senior babies from helping family to my most recent late Fizgig whom was almost 19 years old when she passed. I'm usually available at the spur of the moment too in case an emergency comes up and you need someone immediately. For the longest time I have wanted to open an animal sanctuary. I would take in any rescues I possibly could, I would more focus on taking in senior pets that have been abandoned in shelters, any pets that I could take in that would be on the euthanasia lists at shelters, because no animal deserves to leave this world feeling unloved. I am on disability, so I am available any day of the week, and at any time of the day unless I have doctor's appointments! Would love these times to spend with fur babies, and to help pay my bills in the process. I am extremely meticulous about following directions, and always love it when there's notes or lists left for me to follow. I love everybody's fur babies as if they are my own. After the loss of my Yoda in 2019 from cancer, and the loss of my Fizgig in 2021 from old age, I was told that I still have so much love left to give. I originally started doing this to honor Yoda and promised I would help care for any fur babies the best I could since there was nothing I could do to save him. I would do my best to care for yours the way you specify, and would shower them with so much love!
About: I previously worked in a high volume pet care facility where I was responsible for overseeing daily operations and caring for large numbers of dogs with completely different personalities, temperaments, energy levels, and needs. I have experience handling nervous dogs, high energy dogs, senior dogs, dogs with medication schedules, and pets that simply need extra patience and structure to feel comfortable. I’m very confident handling different situations while still making pets feel safe and cared for. I pay close attention to body language, routines, behavior changes, and the small details that can easily get overlooked. I also understand how important communication, reliability, and trust are for pet parents. My goal is always to make things feel easy and stress free while providing genuinely high quality care. I currently work full time while continuing to grow my pet care career. My schedule varies throughout the week, so availability can change depending on the day, but I stay very organized and intentional with the clients I take on. Even with a busy schedule, I prioritize reliability, communication, and consistency because I know how important dependable care is when someone is trusting me with their pets. I’m extremely meticulous when caring for pets in someone’s home. Working professionally with animals taught me very quickly that consistency and attention to detail matter a lot, especially for pets who thrive on routine. I follow instructions carefully, keep feeding and potty schedules consistent, and make sure pets stay comfortable in their normal environment. I also respect every home as if it were my own and make sure everything is left exactly how I found it or better. I pay attention to cleanliness, safety, and the little details that help both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident while they’re away.
About: I have taken care of family and friends pets for many years. Between Birds, Fish, Dogs, Cats,Ferrets and Lizards. I love all different types of animals and understand how important it is to follow detailed instrutions when it comes to other peoples pets. I have a set 8-4:30 Monday to Friday Job so I am able to fit in check ins or walks before and after work. I get up early in the morning and am always ready to start the day. On weekends I always make time for my animal jobs. I have a Bull Dog/ Pit Mix and also a Cat and Breaded Dragon. My dog tends to love everyone and every thing. But one of my freinds who I dog sit and walk for her dog does not like other animals so when I walk her I have to be very aware of whats around us to keep her and everyone else safe. I also have a freind who thier dog is on a very strict Diet so I have to follow it to a T.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a teenager and have experience as both a lifelong pet owner and a sitter. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. From small, cuddly pups to high energy Australian breeds who need plenty of exercise and attention. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, cuddles, and making sure each dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I would prefer drop ins and “pet sitting” in your house most of the day if needed, but would currently not be comfortable staying overnight. I am an early riser and can be there very early however , or whatever day time routine would be most comfortable for your dog :) I am currently not working more than 10 hours a week with contract work, so my hours and schedule are very flexible. We are also new to Florida, and are looking to buy a house soon, so this will fill up my time with something I love doing while helping earn some extra income. I know how important your fur babies are to you! My husband and I have a little dog and a big fluffy cat and they are basically our children! I would treat them with just as much love and care as my own animals, and I hope I can bring my little dog with me to play when allowed!

I’m here to provide a loving and supportive environment for your pet so they are in a stress free environment & well cared for. I only work part-time so I’m at home a lot and my schedule is flexible. I’m active too, so if you’re looking for your dog to be able to run, go to the dog park or just for a long walk, I’m available. I’m looking forward to seeing you & your furry family member soon! Please let me know if you have any questions or need more information. -Alyssa

About: I have experience training dogs and love showering all puppies with love and affection. Your fur baby will have an engaging time. I've tamed the beast within the tiny bodies of Pomeranians as well as Belgium Shepards. I am available full time for sitting or training sessions. I have two active dogs and am accustomed to hiking and going on long outing trips with them so we can handle lots of energy. Your pets will enjoy the training games to help engage and exercise your dogs' senses and brain. Grooming services are available upon request. I’m currently available full time to pet sit or book training sessions for puppies learning new commands or for reactive rescues learning to trust humans. I can visit pet’s home and perform services onsite or take the pets for an excursion out in the neighborhood depending on clients’ preferences and the pets needs.

“I just wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for Jennifer once again. Her kindness and reliability have truly been a lifesaver for us, especially with the ongoing situation with my mom. For yet another extension of Luna’s stay, Jennifer was incredibly accommodating. She continues to show exceptional care and attention to Luna's needs, making sure she’s not only comfortable but also happy. Luna has been thriving in her care, and I can’t thank Jennifer enough for her dedication. It’s a great relief to know that Luna is in such capable hands. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone in need of a compassionate and trustworthy caregiver for their pets! Thank you, Jennifer, for everything you do! 🐾💖”
“I couldn't sing higher praises of Rachel! Rachel's about me is exactly who Rachel is. A respectful, humble, and down to earth person with a deep reverence for animals and their pet parents. I had to go out of town on a family emergency, and Rachel generously accommodated me into her schedule. This is the first time that I have ever left my fur child outside of family Care, so I was naturally nervous. At the meet and greet I was instantly put at ease and the environment she creates for the pets she watches is exactly the way that I would keep my house. I felt put at ease talking to Rachel and had full confidence leaving my dog with her. Rachel's neighbors even had high praises of Rachel of how kind she is, and how much she loves animals! She took great care of my fur child, and even spoiled her more than I do! Daily walks, play time, letting my dog pick her favorite spot to take her daily naps, giving her allergy medicine and a lot of love! She went absolutely above and beyond my expectations. My dog got in the car and decided Thank you so much Rachel, not only for loving my fur baby as much as I do, but also for taking a part of the stress of this trip away! You are my definite go to for watching my dog, and my dog has her new favorite friend!”
“I’m so appreciative of how communicative Ruthie was throughout our fur baby’s stay! From the initial meet-and-greet with her dog, Pete, I immediately felt comfortable and confident having Ruthie care for Luna. Our dogs got along so well, and it was reassuring knowing Luna was in such a welcoming and loving environment. Ruthie kept us updated throughout her stay, which made being away from her so much easier. I would absolutely recommend Ruthie to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring to look after their fur baby. We would happily have Luna stay with her again!”
“I simply cannot say enough good things about Pam and Darren, and their care of my 2 pups. Walking out of our meet and greet, I’ve never been less nervous to have new people take care of Petey and Archie, and I was right in that feeling. Not only was I updated with wonderful summaries morning and evening, but my pups came back to me calm, happy, and smelling fresh. I can’t say enough good things about their care and the attention to detail given to everything from medications to preferred snuggle types. Highly recommend.”
“What an amazing person! She went way beyond the average pet sitter to care for my fur baby. Picked her up from a boarding facility, took her to be seen at our veterinarian, happily dealt with unexpected curveballs and provided constant communication all while we were OUT of the country. Highly recommend. Our family is forever grateful and will use this angel as long as she’ll allow us for the future!”
About: I grew up in PA out in the country. My family cared for and raised many different kinds of dogs. We had Yorkshire Terriers, German Shorthair Pointers, and Beagles. We always had dogs and they were our closest loyal companions. It would be great to get to care for your dog. I am loving, energetic, punctual and nurturing. I am available evenings and overnight. I can also come by to take them for a walk, feed them, and let them out to go to the bathroom. Every dog is special in their own way and deserves to be taken care of! I will have the utmost respect for your pet and your property. My goal is to care for your pet the way you would.

About: I WORK FROM HOME SO AM AVAILABLE ALL DAY TO HANG WITH YOUR FAVORITE!!! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and the past 6 years around the goodest boy, Brewer, who is my cat. I’m an ex-athlete and still show up 15 minutes early so you can guarantee I’ll be there for your favorite family member. I have the same amount of photos of Brewer as I do my wife so sending you lots of photos during my visits if that’s what you would like. I’m currently in my “off-season” of my job which means I work out, cook, give love to Brewer, and read every day with all other time allotted to this. I’m an only child but when people ask me if I have siblings I say, “Yes. A brother and sister named Scooby and Jelli.” have a son (pet cat named Brewer who literally looks like Garfield/Puss in Boots) who enjoys dog friends. I have a yard but not fenced in. I live right down the road from Walsingham Park which has a great dog park for small and big dogs. As a pet owner, you are literally your whole pet’s world and I get that. It sucks having to leave your favorite family member so I will do my best to make it easier while you are gone.
“Renee was wonderful! She took great care of our dog, Spanky, and sent pictures and updates everyday. She was very attentive to detail and sweet with him. He was happy with her when we picked him up, and we’ll definitely book with Renee again. Thank you!”
“Greg was so great with our two dogs. We love that he has a special room just for the pups that stay with him and a large backyard for them to play and run off some energy. He also was very good about sending us daily updates of photos and video. We picked up our dogs and that were clean and happy and we will absolutely be having our dogs stay with Greg again in the future.”
“Brittany was great, she watched my dog for a week while I was out of town. She sent me lots of pictures and gave me updates on how my girl was doing. She was very communicative and accommodating when it came to pick up/drop off as well, highly suggest!”
“We are so glad to have found Alicia! Our Reese had a great weekend with her, and her fur babies Wilson and Tucker. Alicia sent us multiple pictures updates of Reese during her stay, and she was well cared for with plenty of blanket filled naps and a giant toy basket. We will be rebooking with her in the future, and you should too!”
“Natalia and Kyler were awesome with my dog, Mara! They were very communicative. I felt really safe and comfortable knowing she was in good hands while I was away on a trip!”
