“Heidi and Steve have cared for my elderly dog like he was their own, on many occasions. They are the most trustworthy, loving people you could ever imagine. I am incredibly grateful to them for the care they have given to my dog, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.”
“They were amazing sitters, their space is perfect for the doggies and our baby was so happy and well taken care of! Ten out of Ten, will use again next time I'm in the area!”

About: I have saved and cared for dogs, cats and different pets since my childhood as an assistant to my veterinarian father. I learned kindness and love it’s what they need most ! I am currently working a very unique part time allowing me plenty of time to care for your fur baby in my house or yours! I have a fence back yard in a detached home near a beautiful park for pleasant walkings. I will follow all directions and schedules the owners have for their pets.
“Our labradoodle Kipp stayed with Stephanie and Kevin for 10 days while we took a family vacation out of the country. They provided photos and updates and let us know that we had nothing to worry about. It was so nice knowing that Kipp was able to live at home with them and have plenty of company! We really appreciate them taking Kipp for us and would love to have him board with them again.”
“Thank you Morgan for boarding my baby Boss . I appreciate you for being so super flexible and understanding with scheduling. Thank you for sending pictures and videos …seems like he had a great time with you and the rest of the fur friends . Definitely will book with you again ! ☺️👌🏾”
“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!!”
“Marcie was incredible with Roger who takes a little time to warm up. She was the most patient and kind with him and sent us lots of cute pictures. This was our first time venturing out with having someone watch him in Florida and she eased our minds.”
About: I like dogs! Work from home and single so happy to have some company. Have a pool and great space to walk the dog and hang outside I work from home and like to take long walks with the dog - pool out back if the dog enjoys to swim, ill tire them out! Fenced in yard and plenty of space to play - room for crate if they require their own room, they can have that too! Excited to meet your dog!
“Great stay. lots of play pals for my boys to play with. They were very comfortable with the sitters which is good because 1 of our boys are scared of everything. they looked happy and healthy when we picked them up. he also sent us pictures and videos of our boys daily. will definitely book again”
“Mary An has a swell informed about Kinley and she is the kindest woman. I just appreciate her so much. May she have a blessed, merry Christmas and a happy new year.”
“Dee was absolutely wonderful!! This was my first time ever boarding my dogs, she truly set my mind at ease. (I didn’t even cry leaving them for the first time). She was welcoming to my dogs, took it slow with them, and allowed them to sniff around during our first introduction. My dogs were calm with her while showing us around, and she understood the needs of my senior girl Roo. My dogs boarded overnight with Dee for the first time (first time with her and first time ever boarding!) and then the same week Dee took them for daycare. My dogs knew where we were going when I dropped them off a second time - neither were bothered, they walked in and seamed to know where they were going. When I picked up my dogs they were happy (not traumatized even in the slightest bit for me having left them), both times they were tired when they got home. Dee took them for walks, sent my photos and kept me informed. In highly recommend Dee! She is a lifesaver and I plan to use here whenever I need daycare/boarding! Thanks!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Deysi cared for my puppy in her home for 4 days and 3 nights, and I had complete peace of mind the entire time. She treated him like family, kept me updated with photos and videos, and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. He came home relaxed, healthy, and clearly loved. I would absolutely trust her with my puppy again and highly recommend Deysi to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet!”
“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!!”

“Kailey was a great sitter for my two cats. Someone who’s was supposed to take care of my cats bailed out, so it was a last minute call to find a cat sitter. I remember contacting Kailey before but her schedule didn’t work for us. Thank God this time she was available and my instinct was not wrong. Kailey was sweet, responsible and kept the litter area clean. Kailey sent us the pictures daily and left daily notes. We are very happy with her and will definitely contact her in near future.”
About: I have over five years of experience caring for dogs through Rover and for family and friends. I’ve looked after all kinds of pups from playful puppies full of energy to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and comfort. I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my schedule since I work for myself and set my own hours. I’m pretty flexible and always make time for the dogs I watch. Whether it’s walks or playtime, I can adjust my day to make sure each pup gets the attention they need. I make sure every pup feels safe and loved while in my care. I follow each owner’s routine feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions so they feel right at home. I give plenty of attention and snuggles, make sure they get gentle exercise, and keep their space comfortable and cozy. My goal is for every pup to feel happy, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away.

“It was my first time using Rover and I am so glad I found Toni. She is a gem!!!! I would give her a 1000-star rating if I could!! She stayed in our house while my husband and I were on vacation for 10 days and looked after our cat Maggie. Toni took excellent care of Maggie, and followed all instructions I had given her. She sent me daily pictures and was so sweet to send me an update in the morning and one at night. She also took great care of the house. Most importantly…Maggie really liked her right away. If in need of a sitter for your fur baby, look no further! I can’t recommend Toni enough!!!”
About: While I've not had cats in my own home, I have cared for many clients' cats over the past 20+ years. Clients have trusted me come check in, feed and play with their kitties while they enjoy time out of town. I enjoy making sure they are doing well, giving them cuddles (if that's what they like) and making sure their litter boxes are clean & fresh for them. I also have a grand-cat (my sons's cat) that is a sweetheart and I get to take care of her when they are out of town.
About: I’ve grew up with animals since I can remember. I had to stop myself from brining home every animal that needed a home haha. Being around animals so often, mainly dogs and cat has taught me not only how to properly take care of them but also understand them while building a loving and trusting bond. Yolenny is the founder of a dedicated pet care service called Moos faithful hounds LLC. Her inspiration to Create this business was inspired her profound love for animals and in memory of her French bulldog, Moo Friend. She believes every animal is unique and deserves personalized care. My passion for animals and the drive to begin training blossomed as I cared for both my dogs, Nala and Moo. However, Nala my Labrador was what sparked my interest to start training. Through Nala, I learned the foundations of dog training. Over time, through formal courses and hands-on experience, I discovered a true calling: connecting with each dogs unique personality and needs, so I can help them thrive. As a military service member, my mission is to bring my love, knowledge, and experience to every pet I care for, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and understood When I provide my services, safety is always my priority. Safety protocols can be different for each pet. With that being said, I always communicate with the owner to understand and adjust safety protocols based on each pet's needs.
About: I’m the designated pet caretaker in my neighborhood! Neighbors always ask me to stay in their homes and take care of their pups, love it! I’m a full-time college student, I take in-person and online classes, whenever I’m done with classes for the day I’m able to care for your pets :) I have had three dogs and two cats in my own home, I make sure they always have food, water, get walked, change the little box when needed; I’m very comfortable taking care of any dog or cat of any size.

About: I work from home so your pet will never be without attention. I have a big fenced in back yard and salt water pool that dogs love!! I live close to parks and walking trails, so it’s like sending your pup to summer camp 🏕️ I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years, and I love getting to know each one. I spend time playing, watching, and listening, because every dog communicates differently. I’m quick to pick up on what they need. I’m loyal, consistent, and fully present. I work with puppies on basic training and pool safety, helping them build confidence early on. I also do water therapy for older dogs who need low-impact movement and have had great success helping manage and decrease their pain. Whether it’s training, playing, exercise, or just company, I focus on what’s best for each dog. My constant interaction and attentiveness toward each dogs individual needs sets me apart from others. I am willing to work with any and all requirements your dog may need. No request is too much, my goal is a sense of comfort and trust for all owners. I care for all animals as if they were my own, and I prioritize owners feeling confident that their pet is receiving the same care they would at home. Experience with senior dogs, rescue dogs, dog reactive dogs, and restricted breeds like pit bulls. I love having them all! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or additional needs/specific requirements! Working remote, I have the luxury of being home to focus on pet care. It is a part of my daily life, it's never something I squeeze in, it’s something I show up for. I plan my days around the animals I’m caring for and have no problem giving the time, attention, and consistency they need. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day play, consistent training, or quiet evening check-ins, I’m flexible and fully committed to their routine. I treat every home and every pet with care and respect. I follow the wishes of the owners and the pet’s routine closely so both you and your pet feel safe and secure, whether I’m staying in their space or welcoming them into mine. I keep environments calm, clean, and pet-proofed, and I’m adept at staying tuned to their body language and energy. I build trust by being present, consistent, and patient. Their safety and comfort come first, always.

“It's our first time to send our golden, Mochi, to daycare and I was pleased during her stay with Nathalia. Nathalia made an effort to get to know Mochi. Mochi's a puppy so Nathalia knows the energy that Mochi requires and the amount of rest that she needed after her play. Nathalia has a good amount of space where Mochi can run around too. Highly recommended and we'll definitely be availing her services again :=)”
“I had an excellent experience with Christina! She sent me photos of my baby throughout the day so I would know he was alright.

I will definitely use Christina again in the future.”

“I had Jessica walk Pookie and give her dinner. We had a meet-up before that went great and she and Pookie hit it off immediately. I felt comfortable with Jessica and she paid particular attention to details and instructions, which is very important, leaving me with peace of mind and feely confident that all would be well. I received confirmation and photos and returned home to a happy dog. I would happily recommend Jessica.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 10 years, including my own pets as well as dogs and cats for family, friends, and clients. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, refilling water, basic cleanup, giving pets attention, and following detailed instructions from owners. I try to keep pets active, calm, and cared for while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient with different personalities, whether a pet is energetic, shy, stubborn, or just needs extra reassurance. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I’m active, flexible, and already spend a lot of time walking and being outdoors. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and care visits depending on the day and time. I do my best to communicate clearly, show up on time, and make sure each visit is handled with care from start to finish. I’m happy to follow the owner’s routine so their pet feels as comfortable as possible. I take safety seriously and always follow the owner’s instructions for each pet. During walks, I stay aware of the surroundings, keep pets secure on leash, and avoid unsafe situations with other animals, traffic, or distractions. In the home, I make sure food, water, doors, gates, and any special care instructions are handled properly. I also like to send clear updates so owners know their pet was cared for, safe, and happy.

About: I have over five years of experience caring for dogs through Rover and for family and friends. I’ve looked after all kinds of pups from playful puppies full of energy to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and comfort. I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my schedule since I work for myself and set my own hours. I’m pretty flexible and always make time for the dogs I watch. Whether it’s walks or playtime, I can adjust my day to make sure each pup gets the attention they need. I make sure every pup feels safe and loved while in my care. I follow each owner’s routine feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions so they feel right at home.

About: I'm an all animal loving former veterinary technician who recently came into a lot of free time. I would love to watch/walk/play with your furry friends and keep your mind at ease when you can't! I'm currently in between jobs so I have full daily/ nightly availability. I can likely come by for whatever preference you have. Super flexible! I'm very much obsessed with animals and treat them with the utmost respect. Animals tend to love me as well. I was a former Vet Tech and I have experience with administering medicine.
About: I have saved and cared for dogs, cats and different pets since my childhood as an assistant to my veterinarian father. I learned kindness and love it’s what they need most ! I am currently working a very unique part time allowing me plenty of time to care for your fur baby in my house or yours! I have a fence back yard in a detached home near a beautiful park for pleasant walkings. I will follow all directions and schedules the owners have for their pets.
“Stefan has been the best!! He walked our two Belgian malinois multiple times daily for 6 months straight. He never called off a single time or showed up late. I can't give him a higher recommendation and I genuinely can't thank him enough for all of his help and support!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. While I listed 15 years of experience, the reality is that I grew up with dogs and have spent years caring for my own, including senior dogs with specific routines and needs. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs who need a real walk, as well as older dogs who need patience, consistency, and a slower pace. As a high school teacher and football coach, reliability, communication, and responsibility are core parts of who I am. I show up when I say I will, follow instructions carefully, and genuinely enjoy building trust with both dogs and their owners. For June and July, I’ll have flexible availability day or night and am looking forward to spending that time doing something I genuinely enjoy: getting outside, staying active, and taking great care of dogs. As a teacher and coach, I’m used to structured routines, consistency, and early mornings, and working into the evenings—so pet care fits naturally into how I already live. During June and July, I’ll have especially flexible availability, which makes it easy for me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the day and evening. I believe good pet care starts with consistency, attentiveness, and following the owner’s routine as closely as possible. Whether that means walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, medications (if clearly instructed), or simply keeping a dog company, I aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. For boarding in our home, dogs will have access to a secure fenced yard for outdoor time, as well as an individual outdoor pen if for supervised fresh air and space to relax. We also have crates available if your dog is crate-trained or prefers that routine. Our home includes senior dogs of our own, so I’m especially mindful of temperament, comfort, and introductions, but for dogs that enjoy companionship, there may also be opportunities for calm social interaction and play. I’m also a strong communicator and will keep owners updated so they always know their pet is in good hands
About: I have previous Vet Tech experience, I was in Communications at ACC, I’m always looking out for the best interest in any breed of animal! I’m currently a stay at home mother/entrepreneur. So I am very available! Short walks, long walks, hanging out and physically being with your pet to help them relax and get to know each other! I currently have 2 dogs. Large breed and small, one is crate trained, and the other is free range! I’m available for them 24/7, so I am available for your pets as well!

Over time, through formal courses and hands-on experience, I discovered a true calling: connecting with each dogs unique personality and needs, so I can help them thrive. As a military service member, my mission is to bring my love, knowledge, and experience to every pet I care for, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and understood When I provide my services, safety is always my priority. Safety protocols can be different for each pet. With that being said, I always communicate with the owner to understand and adjust safety protocols based on each pet's needs.
About: I’m the designated pet caretaker in my neighborhood! Neighbors always ask me to stay in their homes and take care of their pups, love it! I’m a full-time college student, I take in-person and online classes, whenever I’m done with classes for the day I’m able to care for your pets :) I have had three dogs and two cats in my own home, I make sure they always have food, water, get walked, change the little box when needed; I’m very comfortable taking care of any dog or cat of any size.
About: Lover of all animals! I’ve owned and operated animal maintenance since I was a young girl. Spending time volunteering in animal shelters allowed experience with a variety of friends. Also as the cliché girl in the corner of the party with a dog in it, I thought I would monetize. I know my pup would be lost without his Central Park nature walks, so I’d be happy to take your friend on a stroll! I am only working part time at the moment, so I have a ton of time to help out as needed! I’m available to walk dogs most weekdays and happy to house sit on request Your rules are my rules when it comes to house sitting! Overall making your pet as comfortable and happy in my presence is what matters most to me. Meal times are strictly followed and playtime is absolutely necessary in my book.
“Stephanie M is by far our first choice when we need a dog walker. We have used her service on several occasions. During that time, she kept my house from getting destroyed by our puppy and stayed in communication with us. Stephanie is trustworthy, and our puppy loves her. We would be happy to recommend her!”

About: I have saved and cared for dogs, cats and different pets since my childhood as an assistant to my veterinarian father. I learned kindness and love it’s what they need most ! I am currently working a very unique part time allowing me plenty of time to care for your fur baby in my house or yours! I have a fence back yard in a detached home near a beautiful park for pleasant walkings. I will follow all directions and schedules the owners have for their pets.
“Our labradoodle Kipp stayed with Stephanie and Kevin for 10 days while we took a family vacation out of the country. They provided photos and updates and let us know that we had nothing to worry about. It was so nice knowing that Kipp was able to live at home with them and have plenty of company! We really appreciate them taking Kipp for us and would love to have him board with them again.”
“Thank you Morgan for boarding my baby Boss . I appreciate you for being so super flexible and understanding with scheduling. Thank you for sending pictures and videos …seems like he had a great time with you and the rest of the fur friends . Definitely will book with you again ! ☺️👌🏾”
“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!!”
“Marcie was incredible with Roger who takes a little time to warm up. She was the most patient and kind with him and sent us lots of cute pictures. This was our first time venturing out with having someone watch him in Florida and she eased our minds.”
About: I like dogs! Work from home and single so happy to have some company. Have a pool and great space to walk the dog and hang outside I work from home and like to take long walks with the dog - pool out back if the dog enjoys to swim, ill tire them out! Fenced in yard and plenty of space to play - room for crate if they require their own room, they can have that too! Excited to meet your dog!
“Great stay. lots of play pals for my boys to play with. They were very comfortable with the sitters which is good because 1 of our boys are scared of everything. they looked happy and healthy when we picked them up. he also sent us pictures and videos of our boys daily. will definitely book again”
“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!!”
“Sarah took wonderful care of my pup! She was extremely responsive and provided photos and videos throughout the stay so I was able to see how comfortable and happy Cali was. She absolutely loved the pool and Sarah took her out to the beach so it was a vacation for her too! We would definitely have Cali stay again.”
“Anna and Irina are both incredibly sweet, responsible & caring people. I was nervous to leave my Bailey for the first time but they made it so easy and effortless. I recommend them 100%. My puppy was cared for so well, I will for sure use their services again! Thank you !!!”
“Kacy did great with our dog! Handoff and pickup were seamless. Kacy gave constant updates and sent many pictures so we knew our little girl was happy and being well cared for. We highly recommend Kacy and will be using her as our regular dogsitter moving forward!”
“Lissette was amazing with my dog! She kept me updated through the whole stay and he truly looked like he was one of her own!! I’m always nervous leaving my fur baby and upon arrival she was welcoming and just showed him love which put me at ease. I would recommend her over and over again. Thank you again!”
“Marvin was amazing per usual! I felt so much more at ease having the pups stay with him on this trip. He was super patient and flexible with some flight delays. My little boys are happy to be home - and were obviously well taken care of!”
