“Jamie has been wonderful with our stubborn fur baby. She took lots of pictures and checked in with me every visit which helped bring me peace of mind when I was worrying or just missing my animal. Will definitely book again.”
About: I have 4 cats on my own! I absolutely love our feline babies. I’m comfortable with the everyday responsibilities of cat care, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention when they want it. I also pay close attention to changes in their behavior, eating habits, or energy levels. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats and getting to know their individual personalities. My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away.
“This is our first time using rover and we are very happy with how easy Victoria made the experience for us. She took great care of Blizz and communicated well throughout our trip. Thanks!”
About: Ive had cats since before I could remember and am the biggest cat lover. Family and neighbors have relied on me to make sure their cat has the loving care they need (feeding, cleanliness, playing, and grooming). I am a patient and playful sitter for your sweet cat!
“I am grateful for Malia’s excellent and professional communication. She was willing to make the time and the trip over to meet me in person before i booked her. Once she was there, i love how quickly my cats warmed up to Malia! She send me excellent pictures during her visits. She was attentive to their needs and made sure my cats were take care of. I will definitely be booking her again.”
“Jessica was a great house sitter! Very friendly and communicative, sent me lots of pictures while we were away and was very flexible when we had to change the dates a couple of times. Will definitely book again!”
About: I have taken care of cats since I was 15 years old! I love watching kitties and ensuring they receive cuddles, timely feedings and alone time if they are the solitude type. A fun fact about me is I raised a kitten from 3 days old, his name is Sigmund! I also have base access so I can help military families with their furry family members as well!
“Our cat is usually a little standoffish with strangers but Ria was great with her. She sent frequent updates and pictures to us while we were away which was a relief since this was our first time using this service. We would definitely book her again!”
About: I’ve always been a responsible pet owner since I was little and have had numerous unique pets growing up. I love pet sitting, walking, and taking care of them all as if they were my own 🩷 I am currently a substitute teacher and have some extra time and days I don’t have work so I have free time for walks and cuddles. I have always prioritized safety in my different occupations doing security and corrections most of my life. I take pride in people’s trust in me in different ways.
About: Hi there I’m an active, dependable animal lover who has been caring for pets for friends and family for years. I know every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, trail adventures, beach time, or a good run, I’m happy to keep them active and engaged. If they’re more of a couch companion, I’m just as content spending the afternoon reading a book with a cat curled up beside me. My experience includes caring for dogs and cats of all ages, house sitting, looking after macaws, and owning reptiles, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals and following detailed care instructions. I also volunteered at the California Living Museum, where I gained experience working around wildlife and developed an even greater appreciation for attentive, compassionate animal care. I’m clean, respectful of your home, and committed to keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands. My goal is simple: to make your pets feel loved, safe, and as comfortable as possible until you’re home again.
About: I’ve had cats my whole life and currently have two of my own, so caring for them comes very naturally to me 🐱 I truly love cats and understand that every cat has a different personality, comfort level, and routine. Some are playful and social while others need patience and quiet space, and I always try to make them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I’ve cared for cats of all ages and personalities, including cat sitting for homes with multiple cats, even one with eleven kitties! I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, medications or supplements, playtime, and giving each cat individual attention. I also worked at a humane society in California where I gained experience caring for many different cats and learned how important patience and trust are when working with animals. I treat every cat like they are my own and know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you are away 🐾
“I have zero complaints. All the reviews about Josh are accurate and true. I found him to be kind, respectful, enthusiastic and treated my cat with the utmost of care. Check in reports were detailed with great pictures. Glad to have found him!”
“MaryAnn was a huge help and great cat sitter. She was super communicative and got back to me fast. She’s more than prepared for any situation to keep your pets safe! Thank you!!”
About: Hello, my name's Rachel and I'm a 3rd year student at Drexel University. I have had pets since I was 10 years old. I just finished working at Penn Vet Working Dog Center in assisting to train working dogs that are trained for different disciplines such as; search and rescue, explosives, narcotics and medical detection. I'm experienced with very high energy and strong dogs. I believe I can handle and provide the best care for your dog. I believe both my profession and personal experience with dogs and cats has helped me gain the skills necessary to work with almost any dog. I have some experience caring for a blind and diabetic dog and feel it would not be an issue to aid those dogs with special needs.
“Laura did an excellent job taking care of my cats while I was out of town for the weekend. Great communication during the entire weekend too. Highly recommend her service if you are in need of a pet sitter. Thanks so much Laura!!”
“Super sweet and easy to work with! Our kitties don’t take well to anyone but she makes it work and got some pets in! Also takes care of feeding and watering the tortoise.”

About: I know that your dog is more than just a pet—they’re family. That’s why I provide loving, reliable, and stress-free dog-sitting services tailored to your pup’s needs. Whether you’re away for a few hours or an extended trip, you can count on me to offer attentive care, regular exercise, and plenty of belly rubs. With a passion for animals and years of experience, I ensure your furry friend stays happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. Book with me today and give your dog the care they deserve! I’m currently a SAHM so my schedule is typically open. I do however only watch one dog at a time to provide them with a comfortable stay. They must have a bed or kennel provided with their stay. I will follow special instructions, if needed. I feed them, take them on walks, play with them, pet and cuddle them. Maybe, take them on a car ride if they like that.
“I never used Rover before and I am a helicopter dog mom but Haily made me feel comfortable. I love the video and pictures that i get throughout the day she’s with him. Milo (my puppy) absolutely loves going to doggy daycare with her.”
“Tracey and her mom were so amazing with my dog for her first ever visit with them. My dog can be such a drama queen and they were so patient with her. They sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day and also updated me at pick up. I've already booked her next stay with them!”
“Katharine and Daniel took wonderful care of my fur baby! I needed a sitter on short notice and they really helped me out! I will definitely be booking with them again.”
“Taylor is an absolute godsend! As well as her husband Kevin. She takes care of Kahlo weekly when I go to work and I am able to relax knowing Kahlo is in the best hands. I went on my first trip recently and Kahlo stayed with Taylor and Kevin for several days. Being a new dog mom, meant I had overwhelming anxiety leaving on my first trip and was so worried about leaving my dog convinced she would have serious separation anxiety. Well, I was totally wrong. LOL. I am honestly not sure that Kahlo wanted to leave. She had the best time and enjoyed all the attention she was spoiled with during her stay. Taylor was so sweet and sent me so many updates and pictures throughout her stay. She even printed a keepsake of pictures from her stay that I now have in my home. I was able to relax and enjoy my time away. It has been a true blessing finding Taylor. She is kind, communicative, and treats your dog as her own. Thank you Taylor and Kevin for being so awesome ❤️! Truly Grateful.”
“Our mini Aussie Brew loves staying with Lily and her goldens! He has a blast and doesn’t want to leave. He is always well cared for and we get videos of him playing which we love! Recommend for both boarding and doggy daycare!”
“We are so grateful for the care Cora received during daycare. She’s a 1.5-year-old Aussie with lots of energy, and our sitter was incredible about keeping us updated throughout the day with photos and messages. Daisy was also so kind and accommodating, especially knowing we had just lost our senior dog. It meant more than she probably realized during a really emotional time for us. We felt completely at ease knowing Cora was in such loving hands. Highly recommend.”
“I can not say enough great things about Luis and Christine!! They truly love animals and could not have provided a more welcoming and loving environment for my dog. Christine baked homemade,nutritional treats specific for my dog :) Luis and Christine not only took my pup on several walks throughout the day, but took her on adventures throughout the island! They really are not your average sitter, but so much more! I hope to book again as they really are amazing people.”
“Nichole was phenomenal and treated our fur babies with love and care that was above and beyond! She made us feel at ease knowing our kiddos were taken care of while we were at work, and the updates and photos really made our lives stress-free. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Thank you so much Nichole!”
“Lauren was super nice and very easy to communicate with. Their house is very dog friendly and they have a great yard and baby gates to ensure the pups stay under supervision. My dog Dolly made herself right at home with their kids and dog and had a great time at daycare. I didn't worry about her at all, and we would love to book with them again!”

“Rose is the perfect dogsitter! My husband and I both work and need someone to watch our Shiba mix or take her on two walks, and Rose was so flexible and easy to work with. Best of all she was so careful introducing our pup to other dogs walking with her, all my anxiety was for nothing :) 10/10 will be booking with Rose again!”
“Naudia was key in making our Oahu vacation a truly memorable one. We flew with our pups to Oahu to celebrate a cousin's birthday. Not only did we get to see the island with them, but we also got to do adult activities as they stayed with Naudia. She was very responsive & even gave Charlotte some pumpkin to help her upset tummy. Book with her - she will surely take care of your pups!”
“Annie is absolutely great! Pancho loved her. She has taken care of him twice so far and he had the best time with her. She ensured he remains active, and she kept us updated with pics. She is very attentive and flexible with drop-off/pick-up times. We are definitely booking her again!”
About: Our oldest dog is 5 years old, being an intelligent, high energy breed she’s taught me everything I know! I wanted to start dog sitting specifically for military families, so you can be confident your pets are in good hands for an affordable price when you need to leave the island or are working long hours! MUST have access onto Hickam military base I’m a stay at home mom so I’m always home! I have plenty of time and space to give your pets the attention they need I keep my dogs on a strict feeding/potty schedule and pay attention to their cues, I can provide the same level of care and attention to detail for your pets! I have a fenced in yard and the AC is always on!
About: I recently lost my senior babie due to old age. I'm wanting to fill that spot by helping others with their fur babies. I have no other animals at home. I'm good with large dogs. My babie was dog averse so very good with dogs who need a little extra patience on walks, etc... I've sat small and medium dogs. I've sat several cats. I can issue meds as needed. Well rounded in senior care. Looking to love and care for those that don't want to be boarded or are most comfy at home. I work full time 7-4pm. I can visits prior and after work. If you're close enough to down town, I may be able to coordinate a lunch check up. I'm free in the evenings after 430pm. I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays so there is full time care available those days as well as most Saturdays and Sundays. I am now a pet free home. I have a small yard at my apartment that has gates on either side. I have an easy walking neighborhood with lots of potty spots. I've walked large dogs, little dogs, and medium dogs. I've not walked a cat yet, but willing to try. I will care for your pet as if it is mine. My apartment has inside cameras for viewing when I'm at work. Please reach out with any questions at all.
“I highly recommend Catalina if you need someone to take care of your pet. She is dedicated, compassionate, and understanding towards animals. If you want someone who will treat your pet with love, then Catalina on Rover.com is the right person for you. I recently booked Catalina for doggy day care on Rover.com when I was in town. Even though I arranged it at the last minute, Catalina was a lifesaver for my 12-year-old Miniature American Eskimo, Nimbus, who has slight separation anxiety. Catalina was very friendly and welcoming from the beginning, which helped me and Nimbus feel at ease. Even though I forgot to bring Nimbus's toys, Catalina took care of her well during the seven hours she was with her. Catalina went above and beyond to make sure Nimbus was comfortable. Nimbus was given specific treats that I provided, brushed, and walked. It was clear that Catalina cared for Nimbus and was aware of her anxiety. Catalina was also mindful of Nimbus's behavior. Nimbus is not good with other dogs and has a tendency to chase cats. Catalina kept Nimbus in a safe and comfortable environment and made sure she was away from anything that could distress her. This shows how much Catalina tailors her care to each pet's specific needs. Catalina's ability to adapt to Nimbus's specific needs proves why I highly recommend her services on Rover.com.”
“Thank you Amy! This was Bandit’s first time being puppy sat away from home and couldn’t have been happier🥰. Amy is so sweet and has great positive vibe about her that Bandit didn't even flinched or looked back at me when Amy picked him up. She filled me in on how the day went and shared pictures. 5 ⭐️s all the way and will definitely book again soon. 🩵”

About: I've been around animals since I was young so caring for them has always come naturally for me. I genuinely take the time to understand each pet's personality, routine, and needs. I'm comfortable caring for pets of different ages and am super patience with those that might need extra bit of attention or care. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I would want someone to give my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and happy while you’re away. Friends and family usually reach out to me in regards to taking care of their pets because of how much I enjoy spending time around animals, but also the level of care, patience, and love I provide. I'm excited to hopefully do the same with you! I'm currently an active Marine, however my current schedule is very flexible. I work a typical 8-4, and I'm 100% free on the weekends! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are with me. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to follow the owner's instructions and keep their normal schedule as much as possible. Whether I am caring for a pet in my home or in a client's home, I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I also understand how important trust is when someone is allowing me to care for their pet and enter their home. I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with respect. I pay close attention to a pet's behavior and surroundings, keep doors and gates secure, maintain a clean and safe environment, and communicate with owners so they can feel comfortable knowing their pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve always had pets of my own and love to give them the best care of their needs, whether it’s love & affection to mental or physical stimulation, I’m ready to enjoy the day with them, Your pup will have so much fun with my dog (Oreo) & I. We hike daily and if your pup is active, they are more than welcome to join us on any hikes that we do! Or if they just like simple short walks that’s great too! I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible, as long as I know ahead of time, we can work out a schedule that works out! I have a fenced in yard for bathroom breaks or for play time. If your dog is crate trained during the night and you wish to continue, I have medium size crate but you are welcome to drop off their own crate with them, if they like to rest in their own crate, otherwise they are free to roam around the house and rest anywhere! Does your dog have any allergies to food/other things? or is reactive with another dog, or around food? • please let me know in advance so I can take precautions. I love updates of what my pup is doing throughout the day, when I’m not with her, so if you love getting updates of pictures of your pup throughout the day or at the end of the day just let me know!
“Joshua did an amazing job walking Otis. He took adorable pictures, gave Otis treats, and took great care of him. Otis came back happy and well-exercised. Highly recommend Joshua for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”
“Cassie is great with Zumi! Not just a walk but also indoor play. We really appreciate how communicative Cassie is and how well she takes care of Zumi :)”
About: I have been watching dogs and cats since I was 15 years old! I have experience with many ages, breeds and sizes! I love making sure each pet I work with is treated as if they were my own pet. I have base access as well so if you are military and need assistance, I am here to help with your furry family members! I am currently working part time and on summer break from college! I work mornings so I am home in the afternoon and evenings. I have my own car for transportation. I like to ensure your pet has everything they need to be comfortable. I live in a walkable neighborhood so your dog will get plenty of walks! I like to prioritize keeping your pets routine as close as possible to what it is when with you to ensure your pet is as stress free as possible!
About: Aloha! I’m Ayla, a lifetime dog and cat lover. I’ve had dogs since I was a kid and always had the responsibility of feeding, potty breaks, walking, and grooming my fur baby’s! I’d love to help look after your pets and I will always make sure your pet is properly taken care of while providing lots of cute photos. I’m currently working part time and am a student - but I make plenty of time for furry friends! I do most school work from home so your pet will always be in good company. My schedule is flexible and can accept requests on short notice! I live in an apartment, it’s a quiet, cozy environment for your furry friend.

About: I have owned dogs my entire life, and I have extensive experience in dog-walking and sitting, cat care, and home care, ever since I was a teenager. I love animals and am even a wildlife photographer. I have personal experience service training dogs for psychiatric service, as well. I am able to ensure not only premium, safe, and reliable love and care for your animals, but also your plants and the general welfare of your home while you’re away. If your animal has special needs or training curriculums, I am able to meet them, so your time away doesn’t become time off from necessary routines or specialized care. Additional services and excursions (hikes, dog parks, beach days, etc.) are available upon request. Mahalo for thinking of me for the care of your pet! I work part time in the evenings and am a member of a canoe paddling team that practices three to four times per week, so my schedule is flexible with plenty of time for your pets! Being a dog-owner myself, maintaining routines and going the extra mile for play and exercise is important to me. I am currently self-training my rescue for psychiatric service, so I am very comfortable working with dogs from a variety of backgrounds with different levels of confidence and social comfort. I have also cared for cats and am comfortable with their often varying levels of social needs, as well as their basic care. I will never use negative reinforcement with your animal, ensuring a gentle, fun, and trustworthy experience for your pet. Additional services and home care (plant care, delivery reception, maintenance/vendor monitoring, etc.) are available, as well.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals, and from a young age I learned to understand their personalities, rhythms, and unique ways of communicating. That natural sensitivity isn’t something you learn later in life—it’s something you grow up with. I’m a geographer with studies in biology and a master’s degree in territorial development, which gives me a deeper understanding of animal behavior, environment, and safety. My life has always been connected to nature. I rock climb and hike regularly, so if your pet is active, I can offer exploration, movement, and outdoor experiences. If your pet prefers calm, I provide routine, stability, and a peaceful environment. I adapt with patience to every temperament, from the most independent and reserved to the most affectionate and curious. My experience as a teacher strengthened my empathy, calm communication, and ability to create trust. I can also administer non‑injectable medications and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always feel at ease. I chose pet care because it brings me back to what’s real, simple, and full of heart. When your dog or cat stays with me, they’ll be treated with love, respect, and dedication—like part of my ʻohana. I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to whatever your pet needs. I’m available in the mornings, throughout the day, and in the evenings, including weekends. When possible, I also accept last‑minute requests. My priority is keeping your dog or cat on a stable routine, with steady company and a safe, calm environment. I only offer pet care in the client’s home and adventure walks, because I believe pets feel safer and more relaxed when they stay in their own familiar environment. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine exactly as they know it—feeding times, medication, play, rest, and any special instructions. I respect your home’s rules and adapt to your pet’s temperament, whether they’re independent, shy, or very affectionate. I also offer adventure walks, ideal for active dogs who enjoy exploring, hiking, or releasing energy in nature. Thanks to my experience with hiking and climbing, I guide them with calm attention, safety, and responsibility. In both cases, I keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. My priority is creating stability, trust, and a caring environment wherever your pet feels most at home.
About: I have always loved animals and grew up with sisters who train police dogs, service dogs, big and small dogs as well as my own dog. I love dogs and have been with them since I was a kid. I’m a student that doesn’t work during the week so I have a lot of free time that i’d love to spend with your pup! I’ll take them on frequent walks and give them the loving they need:) I’m very careful with all animals as they can’t communicate their feelings to us. I’ll make sure they are fed, walked, and feeling that they trust me.
About: Aloha! My name’s Mackenzie and I genuinely love animals. I worked at a humane society in California where I grew up, and I’ve cared for many dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I’ve lived on Oʻahu for the past three years, and I have two cats of my own. I also grew up around dogs, cats, and other animals, so being around pets has always been a huge part of my life. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medications, supplements, walks, playtime, and more complicated care schedules. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I treat every animal with patience, love, and attention like they’re my own 🐾 I work in Waikīkī, so I’m available for drop-in visits before and after work and on my days off. For boarding, I’m typically away for about 6 hours during my shift. Your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, and care before I leave and as soon as I get home. I’m happy to be flexible with drop-off and pick-up times whenever possible. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about my schedule! I follow feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter box cleaning, and any instructions carefully. I’m also very communicative and like to ask questions and be thorough so I fully understand your pet’s routine, personality, and needs. I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and in your home, so I always try to be reliable, respectful, and communicative. I currently only offer boarding for cats. Visiting cats stay in their own private room, completely separate from my two resident cats, to help everyone feel safe and comfortable. For longer stays, if both cats seem interested and ONLY if the owner is comfortable with it, I may allow short, supervised play sessions to help with enrichment and socialization.
“Shannon B. treated my boy Tuna like her own. She even took him to his favorite spot: the dog park! Her service is top notch and she is reliable as a walker or sitter. Will definitely book her again and would reccomend her to a friend.”
“Laura helped with our dogs when we were on vacation. We scheduled a time for her to meet them when we arrived, so they were familiar with her. She was awesome and took good care of our babies! It's obvious, she loves pups.”
About: Aloha! I (Ari) adopted "Dogtor" Juju on the Big Island of Hawai'i when he was just 6 weeks old. Before moving back to Orange County (where I was born and raised), Juju eventually became famous on the Big Island for his incredible ability to invite even the most aggressive dogs to feel safe -- including known "killer" dogs, antisocial dogs who hadn't made a single friend in their entire lives, and older dogs with terminal illnesses who hadn't wagged their tails in months. For this valued skill, which makes communities safer and more joyful for all beings, he earned the nickname “the Killer Whisperer.” Play is so important for dogs, and is absolutely healing when it comes to building confidence and trust. Juju helps other dogs break their aggressive or antisocial patterns, and his methods are tailored to each dog’s unique temperament. A healing session might look like him just coexisting calmly in the same space with your dog without any of the habitual tension that may typically be experienced with other dogs. I’ve been told by hundreds of owners that Juju is the first friend their antisocial or aggressive dogs have ever had. Results will carry over to how your dog will interact with other dogs in the future, as they will now have experience with non-violent dog-to-dog interactions. Dogtor Juju is great with puppies, too -- with his sensitive approach tailored to each dog's temperament (he is great at reading body language cues), he models social etiquette and harmonious co-existing with other dogs and humans. Dogtor Juju facilitates group play as well between dogs who have never met before, de-escalating tension and creating an atmosphere where all dogs feel safe to connect non-violently. I have had dogs ever since I can remember, and began cat-sitting at 10 years old. I adopted an intuitive approach in training Juju, using primarily vocal commands to teach Juju recall skills and safe off-leash play. I am also a musician and have witnessed beautiful moments of de-escalation with aggressive dogs through playing my ukulele or singing (which breaks patterns of barking and sends soothing sound waves into situations of high tension). I’ve done a bunch of dog-sitting and walking jobs in Hawaii (outside of the Rover app), and I truly love getting to know each unique being I take care of, and creating rituals of familiarity with them (through providing structure and patterns of what to expect) so they feel safe to explore and play. If you're looking for a holistic pet care experience, you can count on me & Juju to bring a sense of playful joy and trust to your furry friend. We would be honored to provide your companion a transformative care experience that will build social confidence for years to come. Ari & Juju just moved to Orange County and currently have a wide-open schedule to take on new clients. We would love to develop a regular relationship with your pet. We are particularly interested in jobs that entail dog-walking, drop-in visits (especially if you have an outdoor area for the dogs to play/co-exist together), and house/dog-sitting. My care centers around creating patterns of familiarity with your dog, facilitated by Juju’s joy and sense of trust! We would be happy to take your furry friend out to parks and trails for on-leash outings (or off-leash play if you're comfortable in secure areas -- I look forward to understanding your preferences and desires!). Juju loves to walk on-leash with another dog. I am sensitive to the bonding and trust-building process, and I prioritize creating routines and rituals with new dogs to create a sense of stability while owners are away or traveling.
About: First job ever was a dog walker. Since then I’ve then I run my own personal dog training and boarding facility here in Honolulu Hawaii It fits into my schedule well since dog training is what I do. I make my schedule around them to be flexible and available for owners I change care based of the individual animal and owners needs to also accommodate the goal at hand with the animal. I am very positive and attentive to dogs in my watch
About: I’ve always been surrounded by furry friends from my childhood pups Oreo and Cameo to my brother’s sweet pit bulls and my best friend’s energetic heeler. I’ve volunteered at shelters, fostered kittens, and cared for pets of all ages. With me, your fur baby will get plenty of aloha, belly rubs, and adventures! I work full-time during the week but am available on weekends and select weekdays. I’m organized and committed to prioritizing quality time, walks, and play with your doggie. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow your pet’s usual routines, ensure fresh food and water, give daily walks, playtime, and lots of affection, and keep you updated so you have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve always had multiple dogs growing up and once I got out of grad school, I decided to get a dog to call my own. But I tell everyone that she found me, not the other way around :) From walks, to dog parks, to hikes, and many more, I enjoy spending time with dogs and seeing them happily play with their friends (both new and old). I have experience caring for dogs who are sick or who may have some anxiety. With that, I’m big on taking photos of pets, so you’ll constantly receive updates from me. I work from home full time and am able to take fur friends out on walks throughout the day. My neighborhood is very dog friendly and there’s always a new dog on the block to make friends with. I recently lost my fur baby of 11 years. I work from home full time so I’m able to care for your pup depending on their needs and how often they need to walk/be outdoors. I still have three beds to choose from so your pup will also be able to choose from that selection.
About: I have 2 years of experience working at a dog daycare - which provided care for elderly dogs, as well as big and small dogs. I am packpro training certified, which means I have training on subjects such as dog body language, dog handling, emergency situations and CPR. I also have my own pets - two cats and a Shiba Inu. They are my family, and I'd love to treat your pet like family too! I have had various pets since I was a kid! Rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, dogs - I have even taken care of horses. Animals are my passion! Aside from my dog daycare experience, I have personally pet sit and have done dog walking for my own customers too. I am available on most days, and I will typically offer to do meet and greet before we get started. Contact me and we can work something out for you and your pet! 🐕 🐶 I will send photo and video updates to you so you can be worry free about how your pet is doing. I'm comfortable with giving medication. Your dog can have an enjoyable stroll around the neighborhood, or we can play at a park!
About: Hello, my name's Rachel and I'm a 3rd year student at Drexel University. I have had pets since I was 10 years old. I just finished working at Penn Vet Working Dog Center in assisting to train working dogs that are trained for different disciplines such as; search and rescue, explosives, narcotics and medical detection. I'm experienced with very high energy and strong dogs. I believe I can handle and provide the best care for your dog. I believe both my profession and personal experience with dogs and cats has helped me gain the skills necessary to work with almost any dog. I have some experience caring for a blind and diabetic dog and feel it would not be an issue to aid those dogs with special needs.

You could see the joy in my dogs eyes in the pictures & videos, I feel like my guy was truly able to live like he was at home. She took him for walks & played tug of war with him & kept him happy. I would definitely use her services again because she made him feel at home.”

About: I petsit frequently for family, friends and neighbors for weeks at a time in my home and their homes. I have years of experience around all kinds of different animals. I understand different personalities in pets and can work around them. I stay at home with my two kids, who love animals. My schedule is always open so I am able to follow a unique routine. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of toys, energetic kids and two cats. One cat likes to play outside while the other stays inside. I have rooms set up in my home for animals who prefer to be by themselves.
“I just got back from three weeks out of country and came home to my two cats and dog, all of which were very happy and healthy. Jessica and family treated our dog, Kona, like family and provided us updates which eased my mind while I was gone. Kona can be sensitive to new situations and Jessica took extra measures to make sure he felt comfortable. She also completed check-ins for my two cats, which went very well too. I would definitely have Jessica watch Kona and our cats again for our next trip and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter that treats your pets like her own.”
“Very accommodating. Took great care of Rudy and his dog Zephyr is a sweetheart and seemed great with our small, senior pup. I can tell he was well loved and got lots of fresh air while we were away.”
“Brody had a fantastic stay. He is one tired pup now and that can only be down to the incredible attention and playtime he got whilst with Jay and the family. They provided photos and videos frequently. Kept us up to date on anything important and gave Brody so much love and attention. I think he’s going to be missing his buddies for a while! Thank you for taking such good care of him 🐾”
“Angela was a great dog sitter. She and her boys cared for our 14-yr old black lab, Willie. Willie bonded to Angela's son and enjoyed his visit. Willie has arthritis and is still recovering from a torn knee ligament in his rear leg. Angela took great care of him, giving him his prescribed medication and keeping him comfortable. We'd definitely recommend her and we look forward to using her pet sitting services again.”
“Zuli loved her time with Lauren and her family! We felt very comfortable with her care. We got daily photos and videos as well as written updates. We will definitely book again!”
“Makayla was absolutely wonderful with Huey! From the moment I booked, her communication was exactly what every pet parent hopes for when leaving their dog in someone else’s care. She sent regular updates and photos, asked thoughtful questions whenever she needed clarification, and was proactive about sharing any concerns related to his care. I booked on very short notice and still received top-tier service. It was clear that Makayla genuinely cared about Huey’s comfort, safety, and well-being. Knowing he was in such kind and capable hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I trust Makayla completely with my fur babies and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and compassionate pet sitter!”

“Anastasia is an absolute gem! ✨ From the moment we met her, her calm and capable presence put us completely at ease. We never worried for a second because we knew Buxley was in the best hands 🐾.

I wholeheartedly recommend Anastasia and can’t wait to book with her again in the future! 🌟”
