“Bambi and her family are excellent! They had our new dog for quite awhile due to a change in plans and were so kind. He is anxious and they treated him so well.”
“Jessica sent multiple updates on the dog's day filled with pictures and videos. Any concerns she had were brought to our attention, and she made sure to let us know how she was handling having 5 pets at once and all the activities the dogs were enjoying. Cannot recommend enough. Thank you?”
“Maria is an amazing dog sitter and a better person! We left our 4 month old rambunctious puppy with her for a whole week. We were nervous but Maria made our anxieties go away. She provided pictures of our puppy playing and being loved by Maria's family, running outside, and playing with her dogs throughout the whole week. I highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for the best care for their dog.”
“2nd time booking Shayla to watch Max and so happy she could watch him. I feel so at ease knowing he’s with someone who truly cares about our furry babies. Sent updates and pictures and Max had no issues eating so he remembered going over and immediately felt comfortable which makes me happier 😊 thank you again!”
“Sheri did an excellent job with our Giant Schnauzer whose name is Boss. She treated Boss as if he was a member of her family. And Boss got along real well with Odin, her Great Dane. I would definitely use her again for our next dog sitter request.”
“Oliver had such a great time over there. I feel like he enjoyed his Christmas vacation because of his new buddy Sadie and the warm welcome of the entire family. I really appreciated the daily updates and check in’s. Made me feel better about leaving my puppy with someone that would take care of him so well.”
“Awesome! Pet sitter . I will definitely use Simone again. She sends pictures and communicated with us mostly everyday. She took care of Kiki and Kiki was so happy. We will definitely use her again . 🥰 very satisfied.”
“Alexis was great. She is attentive and wants to make your dog feel at home and loved while you’re away. If we weren’t moving I would definitely have her watch our pup again.”
“We scheduled a trip at last minute and Cheyenne was nice enough to take in our 3pets. We ended up no going on the trip but Cheyenne was so understanding. She did send us pictures of our pets for the little time she had them. We will be booking her again.”
“This was the most amazing experience!! I have never left my fur baby with anyone other than close friends, so I was hesitant to use someone I didn’t know. Cristina was wonderful and made me feel comfortable the first time we met! I was extremely thankful for the many pictures and videos that were sent to me and to see how Chloe was being treated as if she lived there. I will definitely be using Cristina again and highly recommend her for any pet services!!!!”
“Jordan kept my puppy while I was on vacation and she did a great job with him. I had to extend the stay last minute and she was very accommodating. Overall she is a great option if you are looking for a sitter!”
“Madeline was FANTASTIC with my cat. It was our first time leaving him and using a sitter, and I felt comfortable the entire time. Rebooked her for an upcoming trip while away on the last one to make sure we could have her again!”
“I genuinely wouldn’t leave my dog Larry with anyone else. RoseAnn is amazing, so kind and understanding and is clearly so great with animals. Larry loves staying with her, she sent updates on how he was doing, and while I am always very uneasy leaving Larry when I go away on vacations, the second I got to her house to drop him, I was so at ease, because I remembered how well he was taken care of last time. Thank you so much RoseAnn, genuinely so grateful!”
“My dog seemed like he had the time of his life because he was mad when I picked him up. Renee is super reliable, caring, and communicates well and she was flexible with time & my busy schedule. Highly recommend her for someone reliable.”
“Gen was wonderful from start to finish. She is great at communication, has the perfect home and yard, sent pics and updates while we were away, and wasn't bothered by our Birdy's extreme excitement when she first got there. I would definitely love to book her again the next time we go out of town.”

“This was my first experience with Rover, and it was great. Meep can tend to be nervous and anxious when I get home after an absence, but with Melissa taking care of her, this was the calmest I have ever seen her. Meep LOVED her, and recognized, as do I, Melissa's kind heart and great love for animals. She sent me pics of Meep each day, so I could have peace of mind knowing Meep was in very good hands. I highly recommend Melissa as a pet sitter!”
“Angel was amazing! Flexible, communicative, and able to take care of all our needs! We felt very comfortable knowing that our sweet girl was taken care of and getting loved on.”
About: I am an experienced and compassionate cat caregiver who understands that every cat has their own personality, comfort level, and daily routine. I have been caring for animals since I was 13 years old, beginning with volunteer experience at animal rescues and veterinary clinics. I also have personal experience caring for my own cats, whom I consider part of my family. I am comfortable providing basic cat care, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, brushing, playtime, and giving cats plenty of attention and companionship. I also understand that some cats may be shy, anxious, or prefer their personal space, so I am patient and allow each cat to become comfortable with me at their own pace. I currently work part time and attend school full time, with much of my work completed remotely. This provides me with a flexible schedule and allows me to give your cat dependable, attentive, and loving care while you are away.
“Cheryl watched our cat while we left her alone for the first time, and she gave us peace of mind while we were away. I hope she’s available to watch her again during our next trip!”
“Heather was absolutely wonderful with our 2 dogs! She responds quickly, sent us pictures from her drop ins, and my dogs LOVED her!! We will definitely hire her next time we need care for our dogs!”
About: I love getting to know each cat at their own pace, especially those who may be shy or take some time to warm up. I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and plenty of attention while respecting each cat’s comfort level and personality.
“Highly recommend Timothy! I needed last minute help with my 2 pups (lab and great dane) and it was perfect! The boys were taken care of and happy! Great communication and on time for my appointment! I will be using him again for sure!!!!! 10 🌟!!!!!”
About: My family always joked I’d become a crazy cat lady. Joke’s on them! I love all animals, but to be fair, cats are my favorite. 🐱 I understand that every cat has their own personality, whether they’re a cuddle bug, playful menace, shy baby, or prefer to admire you from afar. I’m experienced with senior cats, specialty diets, and administering oral and topical medications. Most importantly, I’m happy to meet your cat where they are and give them the care, attention, and space they need to feel comfortable while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of all size and age cats with I was very young! Cats take a little more finesse than dogs and we are their personal waiters lol I have given insulin to kitties also have had to give thyroid medication orally so I grisly have patience with the cats!
About: I've had over 20 years of pet care experience, ranging between several different dog breeds and sizes, cats, rodents, reptiles, and even some bird-sitting. I understand each pet is different in their own way, some needing certain medications or volumes of food and water, and other pets are easier to take care of, but their owners need someone last minute to help watch and take care of their beloved pets. I also know when it comes to more than one pet in the household, some pets can get rowdy with each other and may tend to hurt one other, so I'm used to cleaning up after and treating the occasional bites or scratches they inflict. Having to give medications, give special food, and even seeing blood or recent wounds on animals doesn't stop me from providing the care they need while their owners are away at work or vacation or whatever else life has thrown their way. I've been known to be a reliable petsitter by many friends and family members over the years, and I make sure to follow all needs and specifications for each pet, regardless of their age and their size. At the moment, I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and then on Mondays and Wednesdays I am attending a class from 9:30 AM to 12:30 AM, which anytime before or afterwards I can help walk or watch over pets. While I do not currently offer petsitting at my own home due to my roommates, I understand that every owner's household and every pet is different. I make sure that each of the doors and windows are closed and locked for the pet's safety, unless otherwise specified by the owners. If there are certain rooms or parts of the house off-limits to myself or the pets, I keep us away from those areas for the owner's privacy. And if the pets do tend to make a mess or I use any of the utilities of the home to help clean and take care of the pets, I make sure that everything is turned off and cleaned up afterwards so there are no messes for the owners when they return to their home and beloved pets.
About: My cat-care experience started this past year when I cared for a friend’s cat for about three months while his travel to the UK was being arranged. That gave me hands-on experience with feeding, litter care, playtime, routines, and most importantly, learning that cats will absolutely let you know when they’re ready for attention. 😂 I’m patient and comfortable letting cats warm up to me at their own pace. Whether your cat is social and wants to follow me everywhere, prefers a little personal space, or falls somewhere in between, I’ll respect their personality and routine. I pay attention to the little things, including eating habits, litter box changes, behavior, favorite hiding spots, toys, and the way they normally interact at home. My goal is to keep them comfortable, cared for, and as stress-free as possible while you’re away, with plenty of updates and pictures for you along the way.
About: Experienced pet care professional with countless years of experience caring for pets of all types, ages, and temperaments. Particularly experienced with nervous/anxious pets and their special needs. I currently have completely open availability for all day and overnight care of your pets and your home. I am willing to stay in your home for your pets’ comfort or to visit late at night and early in the morning. I am unable to care for pets in my home because of my own dog’s anxiety. Because of my experience with him, I am well prepared to care for pets that have anxiety, aggression, and nervousness. I am prepared to provide all of the attention or distant care that they require.
“Shannon is attentive to your pet as if they are her own. She was a very sweet down to earth girl I felt comfortable leaving my fur baby with. Her visits are well documented with cute pics and detailed information about the visit. Her comfortability level with the bully breed was a huge plus! I highly recommend Shannon's services. Feel safe and confident choosing her to care for your pets.”

“I’ve used different providers for daycare for my dog in the past. Whenever I pick him up, he is always very anxious to leave. That was not the case at all this time. He was clearly very well cared and not ignored while with Simone. I would absolutely recommend her for anyone looking for someone to take care of your pet.”
About: I am a pet lover who really enjoys to engage with animals. It is a form of therapy as well as exercise for both me and your fur. I have been around animals all my life. I enjoy being a caregiver for such an important part of your family. I have experience with show dogs, grooming, and dog behavior.

Thank you for trusting me with an important part of your family
“Cheyenne is amazing! My dog, Draco, loved spending time with her and her family. He definitely used up all his energy playing and came home happy and exhausted! I will definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“As a first time Rovee customer, I am very delighted with my experience. Jordan was very welcoming not only to Frankie but myself as well. She kept me informed bout his behavior from being with the other dogs, her 1 year old and even during feeding time. She was also understanding of my lateness picking him up. I am definitely booking Jordan again in the near future.”

About: I’ve dog sat and walked dogs for over 15 years each year gaining more and more experience. Last 2 years I have worked in a training facility for dogs from shelters (so have been around every temperament). I have taken may classes on dogs (body language, training, etc.) I love all dogs and most all dogs love me! I am currently a stay at home mom and have a lot of free time to take care of other animals. I go on many walks throughout the week. I treat all animals like they are my own. I make sure they get adequate play time, food/water, cuddles, outside or walking time. I like to get to know each and every dog I take care as much as possible.
“Last time we booked Delaney, our golden was just a little pup. Months later and their reunion was so sweet! He couldn’t stop wagging his tail and bugging them for pets! Delaney and her husband are truly the sweetest dog caregivers! You will NOT regret sending your animal to their home!!”
About: I've had animal experience as long as I can remember. I've had a ton of pets growing up, from ferrets, to fish, to cats, and of course dogs. I had to take care of all of them and all of the responsibilities in taking care of a pet. Animals make me a happier and better person. One day I plan on owning and operating my own pet day care, where you can bring any animal you'd like and myself and my crew will take care of them Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I do is take care of my pet; I let my dogs out and I feed them. They go out multiple times a day and get fed twice a day. I will provide your pet with as much outside time as needed. If you have a crate and they consider their crate as their safe space, I will be more than happy to set it up in my home.

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’m especially comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs pets, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and respecting each pet’s individual boundaries. I also founded and manage an animal rescue organization in Brazil, where I have personally cared for more than 60 rescued cats. This experience has taught me how to handle animals who may be fearful, nervous, or unfamiliar with new environments, as well as pets who require extra attention, medication, or specialized care. As a pet mom to my dog Savannah and my cat Ellie, I understand that every pet is a member of the family. I provide attentive, loving care and take the time to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home. As a military spouse, I also understand how important flexibility, reliability, and trust can be for military families and their pets. I work remotely from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. My schedule gives me the flexibility to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks, while also making sure your pet receives plenty of companionship. Because I’m home most of the day, your pet will have someone around to keep them company and monitor their needs. I’m able to give each pet the individual attention, care, and affection they deserve while they are staying with me. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets can feel at home. I follow each pet’s individual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, rest, and any special instructions from their owner. Since I work remotely from home, I’m able to provide frequent supervision and plenty of attention throughout the day. I also make sure pets have a calm and comfortable space to relax when they need some quiet time. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, habits, likes, and boundaries. My goal is to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible while keeping them safe and well cared for.

About: I've had pets of a wide variety since I was 5 (30 years now). I have done pet-sitting and walking for friends and family for the past 13 years. I do my best to treat each animal as if they were my own to ensure the safety, comfort, and happiness for all. I am recently retired with plenty of time to take care of all the furry friends.

“Rachel has truly been the best to my pup. She came to visit/walk my dog almost daily for the past few weeks and she has been reliable, responsive, attentive, and kind. Every visit, she left me with lots of cute photos and a detailed update about my pup and their time together. My pup always seemed nothing short of happy, comfortable, and at complete ease. Rachel is a kind hearted and thoughtful sitter who truly treats your dog like her own. She even purchased my golden doodle some of her favorite treats when we ran out at home and made sure to ask for my permission before doing so! The only reason I have parted ways with Rachel is because I have moved out of town, and leaving her was the saddest part about moving! I wish I could continue service and proceed with the same peace of mind Rachel gave me. Like many pet parents, I have a lot of anxiety about others caring for my pup, but I never felt an ounce of that with Rachel. I always had the upmost confidence that my pup was in great hands. I highly recommend her to all!”

About: Hi! I'm Haley, and I've been caring for animals for over 11 years. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and even exotic pets such as tarantulas and scorpions. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering routine care, maintaining feeding schedules, cleaning habitats, and making sure every pet feels safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether your pet is energetic and loves playtime or prefers quiet companionship and cuddles, I'm happy to meet them where they're most comfortable. I know every animal is different, and I take the time to earn their trust with patience and positive interactions. Friends and family often tell me their pets warm up to me quickly, and I've had dogs become attached to me after only a couple of visits. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I'll care for your pets as if they were my own, keeping you updated with photos, messages, and plenty of reassurance while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your furry (or scaly!) family members! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine, so fitting your pet into my schedule comes easily! I have open availability and can accommodate a variety of schedules, whether your pet needs early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or overnight care. I care for my own pet every day, including maintaining feeding schedules, cleaning habitats, and monitoring their health and behavior. For example, my pet scorpion is fed twice a week, and I mist his enclosure twice daily to maintain proper humidity. Caring for animals has become second nature to me, and I understand the importance of consistency and attention to detail. Whether your pet has a strict routine or just needs extra love and companionship while you're away, I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive care that keeps them happy, comfortable, and safe. I believe the best pet care starts with respecting each pet's individual routine. Every animal is different, so I make it a priority to follow your feeding schedule, exercise routine, medication instructions, and any house rules exactly as you've outlined. My goal is to keep your pet's day as familiar and stress-free as possible while you're away. When caring for pets in your home, I'll treat both your pet and your home with the same respect I would my own. I'll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, enrichment, and potty breaks while also keeping food and water fresh and cleaning up after your pet. I'll send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. If I'm caring for a pet in my own home (when applicable), I'll provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where they can feel comfortable. I'll continue to follow their normal routine and make sure they receive the same level of care, affection, and supervision they would receive at home. My priority is always making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and understood, especially while their family is away. My goal is to keep routines consistent, provide lots of affection, and give you peace of mind with updates, photos, and clear communication. I work from home and I’m also a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets throughout the day.

I also know when it comes to more than one pet in the household, some pets can get rowdy with each other and may tend to hurt one other, so I'm used to cleaning up after and treating the occasional bites or scratches they inflict. Having to give medications, give special food, and even seeing blood or recent wounds on animals doesn't stop me from providing the care they need while their owners are away at work or vacation or whatever else life has thrown their way. I've been known to be a reliable petsitter by many friends and family members over the years, and I make sure to follow all needs and specifications for each pet, regardless of their age and their size. At the moment, I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and then on Mondays and Wednesdays I am attending a class from 9:30 AM to 12:30 AM, which anytime before or afterwards I can help walk or watch over pets. While I do not currently offer petsitting at my own home due to my roommates, I understand that every owner's household and every pet is different. I make sure that each of the doors and windows are closed and locked for the pet's safety, unless otherwise specified by the owners. If there are certain rooms or parts of the house off-limits to myself or the pets, I keep us away from those areas for the owner's privacy. And if the pets do tend to make a mess or I use any of the utilities of the home to help clean and take care of the pets, I make sure that everything is turned off and cleaned up afterwards so there are no messes for the owners when they return to their home and beloved pets.
About: Intrigued by “man’s best friend” since the tender age of 3; I engulfed my life with everlasting love and care for pets; for over 30 years! My experience includes: pet sitting for neighbors: cats and dogs; providing pet washing services; and volunteering at pet shelters. Playful pups are my specialty! I’ve previously sat with Yorkies, Dalmatians, German Shepards, French bulldogs, Goldendoodles, Pomeranians, and many more! I am currently available 24/7 for services. Feel free to contact me anytime with inquiries. Safety is my top priority! Pets are family! In my home, they are provided playful toys and loving interactions. Hourly walks with a harness collar; trailing into a field for wide range of motion; to soak in the sun are a must for my furry friends! For over night stays, they will be secured in an extra large crate starting at 11pm-5am with potty breaks and soothing music for pets.
About: I became a dog owner in 2020 when I got my first French Bulldog, Hank McCoy, and I’ve been hands-on with caring for and training my dogs ever since. I’ve personally trained all of my dogs at home, focusing mainly on basic obedience, household manners, and everyday routines. Some of the commands I’ve worked with include sit, stay, down, come here, stop, paw, move, up, no, go home, night-night, and go potty. I’m not a professional dog trainer, but I’m comfortable reinforcing the commands, boundaries, and routines your dog already knows. I understand that consistency matters, especially when a dog is staying somewhere unfamiliar. My experience as a dog owner has also taught me how important it is to pay attention to a dog’s body language, personality, comfort level, and individual habits. I try to be patient and let each dog settle in at their own pace while giving them plenty of attention, structure, playtime, walks, and affection. I treat the dogs in my care the same way I’d want someone to treat mine; with patience, attention, and genuine care. Pet care already fits naturally into my everyday routine since I have a pup of my own. Walks, potty breaks, playtime and plenty of lounging around are already part of the schedule over here! I’m flexible and intentional about making time for the dogs in my care, and I’ll always do my best to stick to your pup’s normal feeding, walking and bedtime routine. I want their stay to feel like a little vacation too not like they’ve been dropped off at daycare. 🐾 I want every pup in my care to feel safe, comfortable and at home. I have a small dog of my own, so I like to learn about your dog’s personality and how they do around other dogs before their stay. We spend most of our time upstairs, so the space has a cozy, apartment-style feel where I can keep everyone close and supervised. We also have a fenced backyard with a working garden. Because of that, outdoor time is supervised rather than just opening the door and letting everyone loose. Your pup will still get plenty of potty breaks, walks, fresh air, playtime and attention. I’m also happy to follow the boundaries you use at home; whether that means crating, certain sleeping arrangements, feeding separately, or keeping up with specific commands and routines. My goal is for you to leave feeling comfortable and for your dog to leave wondering when they get to come back. 😂❤️

I have plenty of room to run laps around the.backyard! We go on daily walks and sometimes we even get puppuccinos and become couch potatoes 😊
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets since I was born, ranging from large dogs to small, cats, and I share special connections with animals in general! Easily will bond with your furry friend, and ensure their happiness with our time spent together! Have experience with bathing, walking, playing with them, training mildly if they’re willing to listen, and on top of nourishing foods for them <3 I work part time Thursday-Saturdays at a chiropractor facility! If you are fine with me checking in on your furry friend before and after I am done with work, I’m happy to accommodate that! Sunday-Wednesday’s I am free and available to accommodate the needs you are seeking if it’s just a walk, check in, or even staying over in the comfort of their own home! Will notate and take in any rules, stipulations, or concerns when watching over your furry friends at your place! Give you daily updates about how they’re doing, and inform you about any thing I may notice about your pet of I recognize that I need to!

I will definitely be using Cristina again and highly recommend her for any pet services!!!!”

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’m especially comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs pets, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and respecting each pet’s individual boundaries. I also founded and manage an animal rescue organization in Brazil, where I have personally cared for more than 60 rescued cats. This experience has taught me how to handle animals who may be fearful, nervous, or unfamiliar with new environments, as well as pets who require extra attention, medication, or specialized care. As a pet mom to my dog Savannah and my cat Ellie, I understand that every pet is a member of the family. I provide attentive, loving care and take the time to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home. As a military spouse, I also understand how important flexibility, reliability, and trust can be for military families and their pets. I work remotely from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. My schedule gives me the flexibility to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks, while also making sure your pet receives plenty of companionship. Because I’m home most of the day, your pet will have someone around to keep them company and monitor their needs. I’m able to give each pet the individual attention, care, and affection they deserve while they are staying with me. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets can feel at home. I follow each pet’s individual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, rest, and any special instructions from their owner. Since I work remotely from home, I’m able to provide frequent supervision and plenty of attention throughout the day. I also make sure pets have a calm and comfortable space to relax when they need some quiet time. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, habits, likes, and boundaries. My goal is to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible while keeping them safe and well cared for.

About: I am a pet lover who really enjoys to engage with animals. It is a form of therapy as well as exercise for both me and your fur. I have been around animals all my life. I enjoy being a caregiver for such an important part of your family. I have experience with show dogs, grooming, and dog behavior. My number one concern is giving the owner piece of mind that one’s pet is safe and cared for while the owner is away. A dogs surroundings is what makes that fur most comfortable. It will be an honor to serve you and your pet. Finally, I will provide you daily updates, pictures, and videos of the care and love I provide to your pet. Thank you for trusting me with an important part of your family
“Rayna has watched my super chill Great Pyrenees twice now. She totally gets it. She has a dog friendly place, loves all dogs big and small and I really feel like she cares. Dolly can be a little bit of a turd (stubborn) but Rayna rolls with it. Thank you!”
“Brydget and her family were so wonderful with our little buddy! So much flexibility and patience with our schedule and with our little ball of energy. Ace had a great time. Would definitely recommend Brydget to care for your pup.”
