Heidi & Steve went above and beyond even sewing up the hole in Stella’s bed. I will be planning another stay and would HIGHLY recommend them 💕”
“Sar was an exceptional caretaker for our 6 month old greyhound puppy, Tiffin. He made sure that his every need was met, and kept in constant communication with us with lovely photos and videos. Given the holidays, we were grateful that Sar made Tiffin a part of his family for the week, and even gave him his own stocking and present! We felt very safe trusting Tiffin with Sar, and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again in the future.”
“Luz was amazing! She took care of our anxious/ special needs dog for 10 days while we were on vacation. We had a bad experience when we boarded our dog at a boarding facility last year. After 7 days at this boarding facility our dog had lost a significant amount of weight and had injuries requiring vet care. Luz provided daily updates with photos and provided plenty of cuddles. We highly recommend Luz!”

“This was my first time using Rover, and I am so glad Morgan was available. She took great care of my cats and I loved all of the updates she sent! One of my cats is pretty nervous around people and he has epilepsy which can make it hard to find a sitter. Morgan worked really well with him and made sure he got his medications. I can't recommend her enough!”

About: Hi, I’m Hope! I’m a lifelong animal lover and pet owner with experience caring for cats, dogs, rodents, fish, reptiles, and pets with unique needs. I’ve pet sat on and off for many years for family friends and neighbors, and I also worked at a science museum where I assisted with the handling and care of reptiles and other animals. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, routine, and little quirks, whether that means extra playtime, patience with a shy animal, or carefully following specific feeding and care instructions. I currently have a 3-year-old tuxedo cat named Soup Du Jour, who is wonderfully spoiled and has some medical needs, including oral medication every other day, allergies, stomach issues, and dietary restrictions. Because of her, I’m very comfortable with medication routines, special diets, chronic conditions, and paying close attention to changes in behavior or health. I’ve been a cat owner since birth basically and had three cats who lived ~18 years each so I am also experienced with older cats with more complex needs. I’m also always happy to learn any specific care skills your pet may need. I love getting to know each pet’s individual personality and quirks. Whether that means playing tag for thirty minutes, repeating the one specific toy movement they’ve decided is The Best Thing Ever, or simply giving them space and patience, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I know pets can be funny, particular, and wonderfully odd, especially when their people are away, so I do my best to keep their routine familiar and their environment calm. And because I’m Gen Z and practically always have my phone nearby, you can count on plenty of updates, photos, and notes so you still get to see all the cute things they do while you’re gone. At the moment, I’m living at home while on leave from UC Berkeley, so I have a very flexible schedule and will be in the area for the foreseeable future. I’m excited to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care for pets of all kinds!

I sent her the instructions, she got it all easily and communicated very well - when she was on her way and during the visits. I got lovely photos and videos. Hannah seemed to genuinely care about animals and I’d definitely work with her again.”

About: I am a dog owner for the last 7 years (female rescue, 50lbs, lab/retriever.) Before her, I had cats my whole life. My pup is a part of my family and I would treat yours with the same care and compassion. I work from home, live in a duplex and I have a backyard that is mostly fenced (your dog would stay on a leash back there), and I live right next to Dreher Park where we could go for walks 1-2 times/day. Let's do a meet and greet! I work full time from home, and have lots of flexibility for walks and pets. In the evening, we take walks in Dreher Park right next door. Life is quiet around here. No smoking. I'll be here with them all day and can take them to the backyard or for walks in the park. I have a 50lb rescue that has been described by boarders as an alpha female, so she may get barky at first but it ends there.

I have cared for senior dogs, including my late American bulldog, Banner, and understand the specific attention they require, such as dietary accommodations, gentle exercise routines, and patience. Currently, I have two female dogs (Vers and Ares) who are both well-trained and socialized with other pets, as well as three calm and friendly cats. My cats, all grown and laid-back, are used to being around dogs and other animals, making me adept at creating a harmonious environment for mixed-species households.

About: I've taken care of all types of dogs big and small. I have some experience in senior dog care, because I had a dog from when she was a 1 years to 16 years old. Pet care is a big part of my routine since I work from home as a local artist, I am available on the weekdays and weekends. I treat every pet like a member of my family. I love taking them on walks, feeding them their meals, playing with their favorite toys, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. When pets stay in my home, I like to meet and greet them beforehand to help them feel comfortable with me and their new surroundings. Once I know they feel safe and settled, I welcome them with plenty of love, toys, cozy beds, and fresh water. If they’re staying for more than a couple of hours or overnight, I also provide food according to their owner’s instructions. I enjoy keeping pet parents updated with photos while they’re away, and I’m happy to arrange a FaceTime call so they can see and interact with their pets whenever possible. When caring for pets in their own home, I like to meet them and their family beforehand so everyone feels comfortable. During this visit, I go over feeding routines, litter box care, medications, emergency veterinary information, family or friends to contact, and any other special instructions for their beloved pets. My goal is always to create a safe, calm, and caring environment where every pet feels secure and well looked after.

Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m able to schedule in-home visits around my work schedule and prioritize reliable, consistent care with regular communication and updates. My preference is providing in-home visits at the pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I can accommodate care in my home for special circumstances when needed.
About: Growing up, I was always around animals because my grandma had lots of pets, including dogs, cats, and birds. I would always go to her house to help take care of them and play with them. I also love meeting and spending time with my neighbors’ and friends’ animals. These experiences have taught me to patient, responsible, and caring for every pet. And I hope to build a friendship with yours pet as well!💜 I am currently in college, so I have plenty of time before and after class to care for your pets. I also love working out and taking walks at the park, and it came to mind that getting steps in is even better with a furry friend. 💜 Overall, for animals, I am available when needed. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and love. I’ll also make sure they have everything they need and keep their space clean and comfortable.
About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Love to take them for walks and play time to get them out in the world. Currently not working so I wanted to get in some time helping people with their dogs. Can not think of a better way to spend my time. I am happy to play with the dogs at the owners home and take them on long walks. My place isn't set up for their care.
About: I like to call myself the dog whisper. I am 33 year old, NY Real Estate Agent, and a huge dog lover. I rescued my dog when he was just 3 1/2 months old. But who rescued who I always ask myself! I grew up with 4 boxers and that’s when I fell in love with dogs. I’ve helped my brothers raised their dogs. I love all dogs, no matter the breed! Would love to take them to the beach, on a long walk, or overnight care if needed. I am always the first called or suggested from all of my friends and family members! I have a fenced in back yard as well for them to play, hangout, and business! I love taking my dog to the dog park or beach everyday! All my friends love the attention I give their dogs when they go away on vacation because I am always active with them. Back in NY I would take them hiking! I do this full time. So I’m available for care 24/7. My partner will also be here as well! Someone will always be here with the dogs. I have a fenced in yard where they can play care free! Beautiful trees for shade. Or they can lounge on the couch inside in the air!
About: I have taken care of dogs as well as cats since I was 10 years old when I got my first pet a small dog named bandit. Since then we have welcomed two wonderful cats into our home who I took care of until I went off to college. When I started to drive I got the opportunity and trust of students and parents at my school to watch there dogs while they were out of town or on vacation. However, when I went off to college I was unable to keep at it. Until this year that is. When I was recommended by that same family to watch some other dogs that were in my area. They travel a lot for softball mostly on the weekends so it was a good fit. I am ready to now expand into new territory here on this app! I currently am a full time student at Palm beach Atlantic university. If you read this. This is your disclaimer. This is only part time and I do love it but recently people do not realize that I am only human. I have been so stressed out recently trying to please everyone but I can’t. My main job is being a student so I will not prioritize my services over my schooling. If you are booking me over a time that school is off. I may have some sort of job especially during the summer. If you want someone who will be at the house all day every day I am not the person for the job. I will be there the majority of the day but it is important to me that I spend time with my family and that I focus on my schooling too. I am going to try to build up some services in WPB this year. I will have mostly afternoon and evenings free. In the morning I have classes for the most part. It really depends on the day. I could also do the weekends. I go to college close to my home so I do travel back to my hometown Port Saint Lucy a lot. If I am going home I will block out those days in my schedule. My calendar on the app will reflect my school schedule. I look forward to meeting you! Animals are a huge part of my life at the moment. I have been house sitting , drop ins, and dog walks recently. I am going to try to be more selective on who I am dog sitting for based on my availability and if it will be too much for me to do. I am going to more focus on drop-ins and walks. If you welcome me into your house I will care for your animals like they were my own. It is important to me that your animals are well taken care of and I will try my best to make you happy with my services. Just know that your animals mean the world to me. And that every animal is important no matter how big or small. If you have things I could improve on or you had a good experience with me I would love you to leave a review. It really helps other pet parents who may need some guidance 😊
About: I only take one family’s dog (or dogs) at a time — never a mixed group, never a crowded house. That’s a deliberate choice, not a limitation: it means your pet gets my full attention the entire visit or stay, in a calm, low-stress environment instead of competing for space and attention with other people’s animals. It’s why my rates run higher than sitters who take multiple families at once — you’re booking exclusive care, not a spot in a group. Whether your dog loves long beach walks, playful adventures, or quiet companionship, I adapt to what actually makes them comfortable — not a one-size-fits-all routine. I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, medications, special diets, and pets who need extra patience. You’ll get regular photo updates and clear communication throughout. My goal is simple: you enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved — with no one else’s pet in the picture. My flexible schedule lets me provide attentive care throughout the day, not just quick in-and-out visits. Whether your pet needs frequent potty breaks, medication, exercise, companionship, or a consistent routine, I tailor my availability to fit their needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. For boarding, I welcome one dog — or one family’s dogs — at a time, so every guest gets personalized attention in a calm, uncrowded home environment. I closely follow each pet’s normal routine: feeding schedules, medications, exercise, sleep preferences, and any special instructions you provide. For house sitting, I keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible in the comfort of their own home. I treat every home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own, and I keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your trip.

I highly recommend Marcie as a dog sitter, and her house has the perfect backyard setup for a fun time with your pet.”
“simply put Valerie was amazing. She sent us amazing videos and updates of our pup everyday and was on top of everything. My wife and I were nervous about having our pup be watched by someone else for the first time while we were away and Valerie put your worries to bed. Could not recommend someone more and will 100% be working with Valerie again 12/10!!”

“My dog stayed with Caitlin in her home for almost 10 days and she did a wonderful job. I have a young Australian Shepherd who needs a lot of exercise and stimulation and he loved his stay at Camp Caitlin! She was very thorough in understanding his needs and routines in order to keep him safe and happy during his stay and keep the transition as low-stress as possible. We also did a meet and greet ahead of booking so I could see where my pup would be staying which was very comforting. She sent pictures and communicated with me everyday and truly treated my dog as her own. 10/10 would book with her again, for long stays, daycare, walks and everything in between. As a very attached dog -mom, I would always recommend!!”

“Annica and her family were incredibly sweet. She kept me updated throughout our dogs stay, and Emmet seemed completely at home. I would definitely recommend her services and plan to book again in the future.”
“Margaret and Amos are the best of the best! I am so lucky to find them so quickly. Kensie adores them and starts to squeal when I start packing her food. She bolts into their home every time with joyous squeals and wiggles. There is nothing more comforting than seeing your animal absolutely love who they will be staying with while you are away! They are so thoughtful and absolutely spoil Kensie like my parents would do when I was closer to home. Margaret and Amos are absolutely the best!”
About: have lifelong experience caring for dogs, starting with growing up alongside a yellow Labrador, where I learned daily responsibilities like feeding, walking, bathing, and exercise routines. In addition, I’ve taken care of my girlfriend’s dog many times, including walks, feeding, and overnight care. This has helped me become comfortable with different personalities and behaviors, as well as following specific owner instructions closely. While I may not have professional kennel experience, I bring real, hands-on, consistent care experience that comes from years of personal responsibility with dogs. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your dog consistent attention throughout the day. Because I live right on the intercoastal, I’m able to take frequent walks in a safe, scenic environment and easily incorporate regular outdoor time into my routine.
