“This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.”
“Mariah was amazing with our dog! The meet-and-greet was a great way for them to feel each other out, and it went perfectly. During the five days we were away, Mariah sent daily updates with photos and a diary of our dog’s activities, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed all of our care instructions perfectly and even washed the blanket in our dog’s kennel before returning her to us, such a thoughtful touch! When we got home, our dog was calm, happy, and completely herself—no uncustomary behaviors at all. We plan to book Mariah in September again. Highly recommend!”

“Ericka did a phenomenal job taking care of our pup! We were really anxious to leave her for 10 days around the Thanksgiving holiday, but Ericka’s updates, pictures, and communication quickly alleviated that. Ericka is so communicative and always makes sure to ask questions and confirm everything. Our pup was so well taken care of and treated as if she was Ericka’s! We can definitely see ourselves using her services again in the future.”
“Ana and Byron are awesome with my two frenchies. I would not take them to anyone else have been going to Ana and Byron for more than a year after going thru 3 other babysitters they are the best. I travel for work and can drop off and pick up going and coming to airport no problem.

Our Jack Russell terrier can be anxious and a bit high maintenance, but she was incredibly patient, loving, and attentive. She took great care of him, worked with him on walks, and even let him sleep with her to keep him comfortable. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup—she’s truly a phenomenal sitter!”
“I'm so grateful for Iman! My senior dog got sick the day before my trip; she was flexible with the drop-off time so that I could get him to the vet before bringing him over. I'm always anxious about leaving my dog if he's not feeling well, but Iman is so attentive and communicative I had total peace of mind while I was out of town. When I picked up my dog he was in a great mood and his appetite was coming back. Thanks so much Iman!!”
“Sheree is AMAZING! She was so good with my furbaby Abel. Her location was convenient and she had more than enough space. Sheree followed Abel’s feeding instructions to the letter and gave him plenty of fresh air outside in her fenced yard. While on vacation, I enjoyed the daily messages, pictures and videos.

About: I’m fortunate to have experience with a wide variety of animals thanks to my cousins, who have two cats, three dogs, a turtle, and a horse. I help care for their pets regularly, so I’m comfortable meeting the unique needs of animals of all kinds and treating each one like family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m currently finishing up breast cancer treatment and have intentionally chosen pet sitting as my primary work. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and being able to provide reliable, loving care while I’m in this season of life has been incredibly rewarding. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. At my home, pets have access to a securely fenced backyard for supervised play, exercise, and potty breaks, along with plenty of attention, affection, and a comfortable place to relax. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other care instructions. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.
About: Hi! I’m a Veterinary student with experience in animal behavior, dog training, pet handling, and more. I’m passionate about providing a safe, loving, and stress free environment for pets in my home. My veterinary education helps me recognize health concerns, understand animal body language, and ensure every pet receives attentive, knowledgeable care. I will care for your pets with all the love in my heart, treating them as if they were my own and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved throughout their stay. 🐾❤️ As a Veterinary student, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I am available to care for pets during both weekdays and weekends, and I can provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a secure apartment building with controlled access and a safe environment. There are several nearby parks and walking areas where your pet can enjoy regular exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time. I typically accept only one pet (or pets from the same family) at a time. I do not board pets from different households together, which helps prevent conflicts, anxiety, and unnecessary stress. This allows me to give each pet my full attention and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home during their stay.

“This was our first time using Rover. My husband and I went on a week-long trip, and we couldn't find anyone to watch our 2 kitties overnight. I was nervous because I usually like to have family watch them, as I know them. After meeting Khalia, I could tell she cared for animals, and it made me feel better. She did a great job with our little chaos gremlins, and they felt safe with her! She left everything nice and clean, respected our home, and gave us updates with pictures. The pics meant a lot! I'm a worried cat momma, so this helped with us being so far away. We'll continue to reach out to her when we need a cat sitter!”

About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets with different needs and routines. I have taken care of a 1-year-old cat along with 3 other adult cats, including a cat who required at least 30 minutes of playtime and interaction every day. I have also cared for a large dog who ate home-cooked soup mixed with his food at specific feeding times, as well as a husky who stayed in an air-conditioned dog house unit and required daily vitamins and attentive care. I am good at following direction for the desired care you and your pet need. I work remotely and any activities I plan I would plan around a schedule if at all with the pet in mind. I will plan in advance for the openings I have in my schedule to permit me to be with the pet. I typically stay in the pets home to create a less stressful environment for the pet and go about its daily routine as instructed by the pet owner. I will stay as long as required by the pet owner or stay in a guest bedroom all day depending on what makes the pet owner most comfortable with.
About: I have taken care of animals for years, I have experience as a veterinary intern and as a volunteer at a cat cafe. I also have had the pleasure of owning multiple pets, 3 dogs and a cat.

I have a full-time job that pays the bills but I am looking for ways to feed my soul. Overnights are great as well as drop ins.

About: I have Pet Sitting Insurance, WFH, & accept only one furry friend at a time! For safety reasons, please do not book me if your dog is not leash trained.

I have been pet sitting for friends and family the past five years and have experience caring for dogs with separation anxiety and senior dogs. I have experience with giving dogs eyedrops and pills via pill pockets. I can administer medication like these. I would need to know if your dog has any aggression towards receiving medication or if they like to sneakily spit pills out. I currently work from home full time, so your furry friend will be constantly supervised! I will be able to play with them when they want and provide many potty breaks throughout the day. I live in a second floor apartment where there are stairs. If your dog is not crate trained that is okay - I work from home and your dog will be constantly supervised.

I also have open availability on the weekends. Having a job that supports me working wherever allows me to provide more time to sit. Having a conversation with each owner really gives me insight into the dogs routine. I always ask what time their meals are as well as their walking schedule.

“Mariah was amazing with our dog! The meet-and-greet was a great way for them to feel each other out, and it went perfectly. During the five days we were away, Mariah sent daily updates with photos and a diary of our dog’s activities, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed all of our care instructions perfectly and even washed the blanket in our dog’s kennel before returning her to us, such a thoughtful touch! When we got home, our dog was calm, happy, and completely herself—no uncustomary behaviors at all. We plan to book Mariah in September again. Highly recommend!”

I am available to care for pets during both weekdays and weekends, and I can provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a secure apartment building with controlled access and a safe environment. There are several nearby parks and walking areas where your pet can enjoy regular exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time. I typically accept only one pet (or pets from the same family) at a time. I do not board pets from different households together, which helps prevent conflicts, anxiety, and unnecessary stress. This allows me to give each pet my full attention and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home during their stay.
“Thaaaannnkkk you Toya! She was wonderful throughout the whole process. Great communication, was able to accommodate only a few days prior of notification, and flexible with the booking! Dropoff was easy, and my dog didn't even bark when she came out (always a good sign of a dog person!). Of course he would have a small incident in her residence, Toya was informative in what happened and was still patient and kind. We would definitely consider using her again.”
“Had another wonderful experience with Ken and his family! The daily pictures and videos help you feel connected. The love and care that Roo received was outstanding! I wish we could give them 100 stars!”
“Jennifer was very professional and kept us up to date on the pups well being and what they were doing. Jennifer met us at convenient times and let us know what we needed to bring and made every attempt to please us and our pets.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am so grateful I found Juliana. I was so nervous leaving my baby in the care of anyone for the first time on an extended stay. Juliana took such good care of my Benito! Her communication was great and you can tell she truly is an animal lover. I would definitely recommend her! Thank you for caring for my Benito! 🫶🏽🐈⬛”
“I felt very comfortable leaving our dog Buddy with Michelle and her family. I could tell they were dog lovers and I know he was well taken care of the four days we left him with them!”
About: What’s better than 1 pet sitter? 2 for the price of 1! We are a husband and wife duo who both work from home. We both have decades experience with dogs of all age ranges and abilities. We are ready for lots of walks and play time. We both work from home Monday through Friday, so we can provide as many potty breaks, walks and play time that your pup desires! Weekends can get full but feel free to message us for availability We do not have kids. We have a 2 year old dog Mango who would love to have a playmate. We live on an acre to provide leash walk sniff adventures and a quiet neighborhood for plenty of walks
“Lali was awesome! Being new to the area. We had a hard time putting our trust in someone who could watch Rusty. He came home clean and happy!! Her dogs played really well with him. No issues whatsoever.”
About: I was the neighborhood baby/dog sitter for most of my teens and even now I do the occasional dog sitting for a week or so for family friends. I have taken care of dogs ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I recently started fostering kittens and have a newfound love for those little guys too! I’ve owned bunnies and hamsters, watched a snake, taken care of a bird. You name it I’m sure I’ve had some sort of experience with it! I’d be so happy to take care of your critter too <3 I work from home! Rest assured your little buddy will get lots of attention in my care. If they have a more strict letting out schedule that’s absolutely no problem! I have a small mix dog, with two friendly cats. I work from home and can spend more time than the average person with your pet. I have a non fenced in yard, but am happy to take out on walks or on their leash in my yard.
“Rachel is a lifesaver and proven to be completely flexible. She was able to board my pup on 30 min notice AND was able to keep him an extra day that wasn't planned. Will definitely book with her again!”
“I will 1000% use Meaghan again. She accepted my dog into her home and treated her like she was part of the family. From family outings, to walks, to hanging out with her and her children, my dog was always included. I love that she sends morning updates with pictures. Being able to see that she is calm and comfortable with Meaghan and her family is very reassuring. My dog is very anxious, especially when we go out of town, and tends not to eat when we are gone. Meaghan was consistent and patient with her and finally was able to get her to eat on the 2nd or 3rd day.”
“Kate took great care of my 2 golden retrievers. They were there for a weekend and became part of her family for the short time they were there! I highly recommend Kate!”
