“Joerg did a phenomenal job taking care of Cash. He sent me tons of videos and pictures of him and Lizzie playing together. Cash has also had issues going up stairs but Joerg got him to do it for the first time! Definitely didn’t expect that but Joerg absolutely exceeded expectations and I’m very grateful for that. I’d highly recommend him if you’re looking for someone to take great care of your dog.”

Marcos's home is perfectly designed to allow the dogs both inside and and outside availability. He also is quick to respond when texted should there be any changes from the boarder on the reservation. Could not be better. I've boarded my 2 small dogs with Marcos now about 4 times and will continue to request him.”
“Malik agreed to take care of our dog for 2 nights, after a last minute, same-day outreach, and I am so grateful for his help!

“Charise was amazing with our dog Zoe! Zoe came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Charise kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took Zoe on walks, car rides, and let her play in the yard with her sweet dog Navi. You could tell Zoe was getting lots of attention and love the entire time. We also really appreciated that Charise dropped Zoe off at home for us. Highly recommend Charise if you are looking for someone caring, reliable, and attentive to watch your fur baby!”

“Kristen was amazing! Super proactive about setting up a meet and greet with Penny and I, which was much appreciated. My cat was recovering from a minor surgery when I booked Kristen and she went above and beyond with tending to my pet’s needs, including administering medication, tidying up her kennel, and making sure my cat got plenty of treats and loving attention. I had full peace of mind while I was out of town, and it’s thanks to Kristen. Will definitely book her in the future!”
“Lavinia was amazing 🤩 !! She was available for a very last minute appointment. She followed all directions perfectly and was able to give medicine to one of my cats. She is also very good at communicating. I will definitely book her again!”
“Delaney was so great and super attentive, left very detailed reports of all of her visits and my cat Frank seems like he was better behaved than he usually is (either he knocked over way less things or Delaney picked them up - either way - thank you!) Will absolutely book again :)”
“Lauryn was timely and communicative while checking in on Dipper (and even cleaned up a knocked over plant - gotta love cats). I would recommend her if you're in need of someone to swing by!”
“Brooke was super quick to respond to my request and took great care of my kitty. She administered oral medication and dealt with his persnickety ways, and he was well-fed and happy when I got home. Brooke was kind, cheerful, and efficient, and I’d definitely book with her again!”
“Tabitha did a fantastic job watching our two cats while we were away for five days. She was prompt and communicative, and she shared descriptive updates with truly excellent photos—well love getting more than 1 or 2 pictures to see what the cats are up to while we are away, and Tabitha really delivered. It’s always hard to leave your pets, but we felt truly comfortable knowing that Tabitha was checking in each day. We’d 100% recommend Tabitha and will use her again!”
“Jess is amazing!! She was super flexible and easy to communicate with, she even agreed to watch them an extra day at the last minute. My cats looked SO happy and comfortable in the pictures/videos she sent which meant I wasn’t stressing my whole trip! I highly recommend Jess and will absolutely book with her again!!”
“Jessica is the best!! Our cats loved her drop in visits and she did a great job catering to each of their personalities/needs. We came home to a clean home and happy cats. Great communication, detailed updates, fun photos, and a true cat lover.”
“Claire did a great job communicating with us, playing with our little kitten and sending us pictures! Our home was cleaner than we left it when we came back and our kitten was happy!! Great experience.”
“Cori was so diligent and great taking care of my 2 cats. Even helped out with some pet-specific cleaning which was definitely not required, but super appreciated. Thank you!”
“Ashlee is a dream! Our senior (and deaf) kitty fell in love with her. Zoe rarely gets close to anyone and Ashlee was the exception. I was so reassured knowing someone so kind and attentive was watching my baby. She went the extra mile, sending us photos regularly and even washing the sheets and running the dishes before she left. I could not recommend her more… thank you Ashlee!! Xo Jenny, Joaquin and Zoe”
“Zoe was so communicative and friendly. I had her overnight sit for my two cats and she left the house clean and as if I never left! She also brought in a giant rug I had delivered while I was gone so it didn’t get wet. Overall so happy and the cats were happy :)”
“Chris did an absolutely wonderful job checking in on our kitty! She asked questions to get to know his personality and he took right to her. Chris was reliable in her check-ins and gave us detailed updates that made us feel at ease while we were away. I highly recommend Chris and would definitely use her again!”

“Megan was a great host for our pups! Very willing to accommodate our schedule and responsive before and during our trip. Our two dogs had a great time during day care at her place and come home tuckered out both days they stated there. Thanks for taking such good care of them!”
“Brad was great! He sent pics and feedback. Made me feel very comfortable that my dog was getting all the TLC possible. I will be using him for my vacation stay.”
“Mady is absolutely great! Theo loves Mady and makes us feel so much more comfortable to leave him with her while we are at work rather than at a busy dog place where they don’t really watch her. Theo is a puppy and has had some tummy problems and Mady was a champ helping him out during the day! Huge thanks to Mady and would highly recommend! - Anna”
“John & Ryan took wonderful care of my dog Newton! They sent a cute photo update and were very flexible with pick up and drop off times. Would highly recommend!”
“I found Rebecca last minute on Rover and truly couldn’t have had a better experience. She was so kind and communicative even before we met, and was willing to care for Luna with little notice. From the moment I dropped her off, she kept me updated throughout the day with the cutest pictures, which meant so much. I was pretty anxious leaving Luna with someone new, but Rebecca completely put my mind at ease. I knew Luna was in excellent hands the entire time. Highly recommend 🤍”
“Michaela was very attentive to our puppy blue. Sent us pictures and updates all day. She took our request last minute and we are very grateful. Seems like blue had a great time.”
“Stacy was a great choice for doggy daycare! She was super flexible if I was ever running late from work and took lots of adorable pictures of Chico. She took him on long runs and walks, so he always came home happy and tired. I’d highly recommend Stacy for any of your dog care needs!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for my whole life and trained both of my dogs! Throughout college I’ve taken various dog sitting jobs and will happily send my references. Love to go for long walks with dogs and spending lots of quality time together! When I am home from college, I have nothing but free time throughout the week to spend with dog(s)! I will plan for morning, afternoon, and evening walks with dog(s). I will plan multiple walks throughout the day with the dog(s) and feedings depending on the specified instruction of the owner. I also will also plan for plenty of quality time with them!
About: I grew up with a Bernese Mountain Dog and have watched/walked countless dogs throughout my 24yrs of life. From energetic to mellow, introverted to extroverted, and aggressive to gentle. I have always been able to breakthrough and bring out the sweethearts they are! I have experience working with mistreated Pit Bulls during my time in college. On top of that, I spent a summer volunteering in a dog van bathing service. Plain and simple, I have spent a lot of time with dogs! I truly love them and think they are all wonderful with the proper care and affection! Pet care is my primary focus as of now. Willing and able to work whenever possible! I recently graduated from Colorado State and will be attending Northwestern for my masters in the fall. Until then, I will be dog walking/sitting. I look forward to working with you all! I have a spacious three floor apartment with one roommate, who is also a huge dog lover and well experienced with dogs. We have an outdoor fenced in patio that is suitable for all dogs. We also have no other animals in the house. We are smoke free and all house plants are animal friendly. In terms of care, I first assure the dog feels safe and comfortable. Time is needed in order to let them become so. Secondly, I make sure simple needs are met: water, food, bathroom. It is all about being aware and open to a dog’s subtle gestures. The right environment is crucial to set the tone and mood of the dog! In my care, I hope to make every dog feel safe and loved!
“Jiyeon took expert, careful care of my dog who is almost always a sweetheart but can also be a sudden handful! Her efforts meant my dog got a lot of time to socialize, too, which is a huge bonus.”
“Bobo had a great time with Carly. I loved the pictures she sent and how happy and tired he was when I picked him up! Carly was gentle, attentive and thorough with her care. She was also very responsive so arranging drop off and pickup was very easy.”
“Meli had a wonderful time with Tara and her family. I received pictures and an update of Meli during the day. She was accommodating and flexible with my schedule. Would definitely reccomend.”
“Erick is truly the most incredible buddy Olive could ask for! He takes her everywhere with him, and she absolutely loves his company. The moment I set her down from the car, she SPRINTS to his door, ready for another adventure. Erick deserves all the praise and more—he’s a star sitter for a reason, and that’s because he’s genuinely amazing. Thank you, Erick!”
“Maddy had a wonderful time staying at Isabelle’s place for the day! She went to the beach and came home super happy and sleepy. My puppy is 5 months old and very high energy, so her care and patience was very appreciated!”

“Rich was great with our pups. Came every day at the scheduled time, was super gentle and patient with our timid dog. Took photos. Was very responsive to any inquiry I made on Rover. Made sure they were secure in their crates when he left. We felt very comfortable leaving our pups in his care.”
About: I have been caring and loving pets from a very young age. Throughout college I worked in hydrotherapy which greatly increased my knowledge of dogs. I am experienced in puppies, cats, needy, shy or older dogs. I always make sure that I can provide the animals with whatever they need, from cuddles, play time, walks and medication. From personal experience it is never fun to leave your furry friend behind so I understand how important it is for everything to be just right. I would love the opportunity to get to know any pet and provide them with love and care! I am currently working part time so my schedule is pretty flexible at the moment. If I can, I always try and help others out when it comes to pet care :) I currently don’t have any pets of my own in my apartment. When I am with my family pets they are the center of attention!
About: I have over a decade of experience caring for dogs of various breeds, including dog walking and dog-sitting. Personally, I grew up with dogs and love the joy they bring! I am a PhD student working on my dissertation, so I am relatively flexible with my time when I am not writing! Generally, I am available 7 days a week from morning to the evening. I want to ensure the most positive and safe experience for your pup, so please ask me what your needs are and we can work together to identify the best accommodation!
About: All my life, I have loved animals of every species but especially dogs and cats. I have experience caring for dogs of any size, age, or breed from the smallest ones, like Chihuahuas, to the largest, such as Newfoundlands or Great Danes. Caring for your pet is a responsibility I undertake with love, patience, and dedication. I want every dog to feel safe, calm, and loved while their family is away. I understand that every pet has its own unique personality, routines, and needs; I find it very easy to interact with any pet. I treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. Currently, my husband and I have two dogs a Chihuahua and a Border Collie so I understand that every pet receives love in its own way, What characterizes me most is that I am very patient and responsible with animals. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, thanks to my flexible schedule and strong time management skills. I am available throughout the mornings and for much of the day, which allows me to handle walks, home visits, and general care calmly and without rushing. I enjoy maintaining an active and responsible routine; as a result, I am able to dedicate quality time to each pet, ensuring they receive the attention, companionship, and care they need. My priority is to maintain their routine and ensure they feel comfortable and safe in their own space. I make sure to follow each owner's instructions, including schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, and any special care they may require. I also strive to provide them with attention, companionship, and patience so that they do not feel lonely while their owners are away. I treat each client's home with responsibility and strive to maintain a clean, tidy, and trustworthy environment for both the pets and their families.
About: I grew up babysitting from a young age, which sparked my passion for caring for others. That same love of caregiving naturally extended to animals, and I truly enjoy providing pets with the attention, patience, and affection they deserve. I work from home three days a week, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to give your pet the attention they deserve! I am available for overnight visits as well! I believe every pet is happiest when their routine is maintained, so I’ll follow your care instructions closely and treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care I would my own. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. In my client’s home, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box or potty breaks, medications if needed, and any specific preferences your pet has. I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, companionship, and affection so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away.
