“Nancy and Mark responded to my short notice request for booking very promptly. Nancy was also very good about sending photos daily and letting us know how our Finnick was doing. The pictures she provided showed him being snuggled in warm blankets and having fun with other dogs inside and outside. Finnick did not hesitate to go inside with her when we first arrived and he seemed to be relaxed and enjoyed his visit with them. Thanks for your care. We will be repeat customers! The Sanchez Family”
“My two dogs had such a great time with Nichole! She provided updates and pictures. I knew they were in good hands and put my mind at ease! We will definitely be using Nichole again!”
“Our dog loves coming over! She gets so excited in the car when she sees Joy. I also love getting photo updates from them, she’s always playing and well taken care of! 10/10 don’t even think twice, book now!”
“I can't imagine a better person to leave our Parker Boy with! Heather took the best care of our dog and sent pictures and videos to keep our minds at ease while we were apart from him. She made him feel like a part of the family and made sure to do whatever she could to make him comfortable. We would recommend Heather to anyone looking for a sitter for their furry friends!!”
“Najah was so great with Kash. So much so, he didn't act like he wanted to leave her. She kept me updated on his behavior and how ge was doing the entire time with texts & photos. I will definitely be boarding with Najah again.”
“I received several pictures of Moppet from Bernice. He seemed to really enjoy her big fenced-in backyard and having similarly sized canine playmates. Bernice was a gentle, welcoming dogsitter.”
“Jordan took amazing care of my dog Stella while I was away. She sent thoughtful updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind, and it was clear Stella was getting lots of attention and love. I really appreciated the extra care she gave my baby, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again!”
“Meredith did a great job with my two girls! I was a little concerned at first, not sure if she could handle my 10 month old German Shepherd, Jream, but overall, she did very well even without having a fenced yard. My girls still got a full hour of playtime in a nearby fenced area where they were able to run and play ball freely. Meredith followed all my instructions, and I would definitely use her again.”
“My pup enjoyed his stay, I was updated and notified of his well being, I highly recommend booking with her, and will be trusting her with my pup anytime I leave town. Did amazing with him all around”
“Absolutely exceptional dog sitting experience! From the moment we reached out to inquire about Barbara's services, to the very end of my dog's stay, everything was seamless and stress-free. Barbara not only provided top-notch care for dog, Gracie, but she also went above and beyond to ensure her comfort and happiness. Communication was fantastic throughout the entire process, with regular updates and photos that reassured me Gracie was in great hands. It was evident that she and her husband genuinely loves animals and know how to cater to their individual needs. The environment provided for my dog was clean and safe. I appreciated the personalized attention given to my dog, including her dietary preferences and exercise routine being carefully followed. Returning home, Gracie was happy, healthy, and clearly had a wonderful time during her stay. I cannot recommend Barbara highly enough! If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and passionate about animals, look no further. I will definitely be booking her services again in the future.”
“It’s so cute to see my Chaseypoo interact with Amia and Joshua, the kids and their pups. They adore her and she comes home happy and tired and ready for a nap.”
“Cathy is so lovely and caring. She has watched our pups in last minute situations and has been wonderfully accommodating. I think one of the dogs might break his tail from wagging it so hard with excitement when we pull into her driveway. Thank you Cathy!”
“We have FINALLY found the PERFECT fur baby sitter. Judy and her husband Bob cared for our mini schnauzer Jasper with such warmth and kindness that it was truly like he was their own. Their experience of loving their own pups in the past was evident from the get go. We can’t sing their praises loud enough. Jasper didn’t come home stressed or exhausted. He was GENUINELY happy while with Judy and Bob. We knew he was safe, comfortable and in good hands. Please don’t hesitate if considering booking a stay for your pet with such a loving, kind couple. We will definitely be rebooking again and again. Thank you Judy & Bob!”
“April is the best! I bring my dog to her instead of leaving him with family because he loves her house and dogs so much. Great communication and clearly a massive dog lover.”

With a lifetime of experience and highly flexible schedule, I ensure your cats stay happy, active, and purr-fectly on routine in the comfort of their own home.

“Ashley was wonderful taking care of my cats! She went the extra mile to ensure that they were comfortable with her and sent me updated notes and pictures each day.”
“Sydney provided drop in visits at my home for 8 cats…yes 8 cats. She was professional and attentive to details. She demonstrated effective communication skills and kept me up to date on the day to day activities of her care of my babies. Sydney is kind and compassionate and will ask for her services in the future. If you are looking for someone to care for your animals that you can trust, contact Sydney…🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“Eli cared for my boys Symba and Eli for 12 days. I was so blessed to have been able to choose him for this visit. The notes he sent daily told a beautiful little story. I found myself waiting to read the next one🥰🥰🥰. His caring spirit shows through his work. One of my boy's is named Eil!!! 🥰🐈And on that alone , I knew this was perfect. Blessings to you Eli, until next time...Carolyn”
About: I’ve owned pets my entire life, chose it as a career, and started working as a veterinary assistant. Now I work as a dog trainer! I’m excited to meet you and your pets! Right now I work part time, so I’m available most days in the afternoon/ evenings! I will have plenty of time to hangout with your fur babies! Let’s talk about the best day and time for you! The goal is to make sure your pups are happy and cared for as if you were home with them! I will always be prepared, always have treats, and always communicate with you!
“April was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Mable! We only asked her to stop by once a day, but she went above and beyond every single visit. She spent extra time with Mable, stayed to keep her company, and was so kind and attentive. She even surprised Mable with a few new toys to play with while we were away, which was such an incredibly thoughtful gesture that she absolutely didn’t have to do. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Mable was not only being cared for but genuinely loved while we were gone. We could tell April truly cares about the pets she watches, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and willing to go the extra mile. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Chyanne was amazing! She really took her time to understand our cats personalities and the things that make them unique. She kept our home clean, scooped the litter boxes, fed our cats treats, groomed them, and played with their favorite toys. We will definitely be rebooking with Chyanne and you should too!”
“Crystal is the best!!!! She watched our cat for 5 days and I was very worried leaving my cat alone for that long since she does not warm up to people quickly, but Leah loved her so much!!! So thankful for the time she spent at our house and taking care of Leah like she were her own. Highly recommend!!”
About: Hi! I have cared for dogs technically my whole life since I grew up with them. When I went to college I got a dog of my own and have had another since then. I love going on walks and playing with dogs. I am a part time nanny, but go on a walk every morning, afternoon, and evening. On top of that I do potty breaks first thing in the morning and before bed. I have a puppy proofed home since I have a pup of my own. I don’t have a fence but know how to get a dog’s energy out by playing however their style is and am good assessing what a dog needs.
About: I used to be a kennel assistant at an animal clinic, there I fed, walked, and looked after the dogs/cats that were boarding there. I am accustomed to specific feeding instructions that the owners gave. I am fine with sitting any breed of dog or any animal for that matter! I am going into animal care after high school and hope to have an animal oriented career in the future. I have a golden retriever, a shih-zhu pomeranian mix, two guinea pigs, and a Syrian hamster! I am currently completely free anytime besides Sundays! If something comes up or changes I will change this info or let anyone know as soon as I can. I take my dogs outside everyday so they can go to the bathroom. I replenish their water and give them dinner later if no one else has been home yet. I give my guinea pigs their veggies, hay, and pellets everyday and replace the dirty mats and spot clean their cage. My hamsters daily care consists of spot cleaning, cleaning her wheel, replenishing food, and replenishing water!
“She was extremely kind and patient with the dogs! Our dog had a few accidents but she was super nice and understanding and cleaned it up for us! We would recommend her!”
“We are very dedicated to ensuring our cats are well cared for, and Jasmine did a great job with drop-in visits! Frequent communication, great pictures, and open to asking for clarification when needed. Even our cat who's anxious with strangers seemed to settle into a comfortable routine. +++”
“Hannah was amazing! This was my first time hiring a sitter off Rover and naturally I was a bit nervous to do so but when I came across her profile and saw how much experience she has with all kinds of animals, I knew my kitties would be taken great care of! She was always available and dropped in every day to give me updates and pictures. I would 1000% hire her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a 5 star sitter! Your babies will get the best care in Hannah's hands! :)”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I can remember. I have previously worked at a cat hospital so I am able to give medications to pets by request. I am a big animal lover, I have had almost every type of pet imaginable so I have a wide range of experience. I have taken care of dogs, cats, large and small birds, fish, ferrets, rabbits, and rats since I was little. I am a student so I have very open availability. I look forward to talking to you about your pet care needs I work part time usually pretty consistently. However it is not long hours except on some weekends. But I am still available to work almost daily I try my best to make it look like I haven’t been there. I love sending pictures of happy pets so every time I visit I will definitely send you tons of pictures. I prefer to meet in advance just to go over your pet(s) needs and see where food, treats, and toys are located before you are away.
About: My family picked up two stray kittens from the side of the road when I was 9! My family had those cats until I was just fresh out of graduate school and they passed on after a very long life! I do enjoy cats and their quirkiness now, but my dogs would terrorize them if we had them ourselves. I’m happy to get my cat fix through others and love on someone else’s sweet baby!

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Currently, I care for two of my own—Sparky, my sweet 13-year-old Bichon Frise, and Shelby, my playful 1-year-old Miniature Goldendoodle. Having both a senior dog and a young, energetic pup has given me a wide range of hands-on experience, from managing health needs and gentle senior care to keeping up with puppy energy, training, and teething phases. In the past, I also cared for an American Pitbull Terrier for 5 years, and over the years I’ve looked after many dogs for friends, neighbors, and family members. Some of the breeds I’ve worked with include Chihuahuas, Beagles, Golden Retrievers, Pomeranians, and a variety of lovable mixes. Every dog is unique, and I truly enjoy getting to know each one’s personality and quirks. Whether they’re shy or outgoing, young or elderly, I’m patient, gentle, and always happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I’m usually available Monday through Friday, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to walk, play with, and care for your pup. Whether they need a midday stroll, some company while you’re away, or just a little extra love and attention, I’m happy to be there for them. I’m home often, so I’m able to keep a close eye on the dogs and make sure they’re always safe and cared for. While my yard is open and unfenced, I never leave dogs outside unattended—they’re always on a leash and supervised, with access to a sunny, enclosed sunroom for extra comfort. For smaller dogs, I have a crate available if preferred by the owner, and I’m also able to provide transport in case of a vet emergency. My home is stocked with cozy blankets and toys that are always available for dogs to borrow and enjoy. Located in a quiet, beautiful area, the home offers plenty of space to explore, bird- and squirrel-watching opportunities, and nearby parks for peaceful outings. The spacious living room and multiple rooms allow for safe separation if needed, ensuring every dog feels comfortable. Most of all, your pup will enjoy peace, safety, and lots of love while in my care.
About: I’m the person people rely on to baby sit. I have the love and passion to care and attend to dogs as my own. I have experience as a medical assistant which allows me to make rational decisions to maintain a safe environment for your beloved pet. Self taught cpr and other emergency procedures. I’m currently a home stay dog mom and would love to give my love and attention to other dogs and cats. I’m available and flexible to work with the parent. I have a friendly dog that loves company and would help your dog settle in for a fun baby sitting date. Safe uncluttered clean environment pet friendly. Walking paths available for the dog to enjoy for a potty break. Back yard available, spacious two floor.
“My puppy was well cared for, and was definitely very active during her visit. When she came home, she was immediately ready to lay down and relax after her eventful day. Definitely worth coming scheduling more days.”
“Very accommodating on such short notice! Sent plenty of pictures of our precious Charlie boy during his daycare stay to let us know he was doing ok! Our dog seemed really comfortable and calm in her care! We will use her again in the future!”
“Bernice was so great and accommodating to my pup. She accepted a last minute day care booking 2 days in a row while my wife got our new house together. I will definitely be using her again.”
About: I enjoy having dogs, and started using this website when I went out of town. Because of this, I know the high standard of care I expect from my sitter, and what you should expect too. I will take the time and care you would for your own dog. I'll give them snuggles, playtime, and lots of outside time depending on the crazy weather we have here of course. Myself and my doggy friends love to take walks, play tug-of-war, fetch and other games your dog enjoys or might enjoy. If your dog comes to our house we have a fully enclosed backyard. It is a great big yard enough to play fetch with a few dogs at the same time. Some just like to sun bathe and watch everyone else run around. Your dogs will have so much fun, and will be well loved while they are here. When my doggie friends come back for a visit the owners tell me the dogs are excited when they turn down my street. I have a Yorkie named Jack, and 3 mini Bernedoodles named Elenor, Dahlia, and Franklin. I am not taking unneutered or unspayed dogs at this time. I have lots of available hours to spend with your pets. My schedule is consistent usually, but fairly open. In the past, I was walking dogs. Not sure if I am going to start doing that or not. I have a fenced in yard and 4 dogs to keep your dog company. We can play in the yard or hang out in the house. I have lots of toys and balls.
“What a find! April had such a gentle nature. She and her dogs quickly won over my clingy Princess. She had a great time and came home tired from all the fun. A great experience!”
About: I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience sitting for rover. I have a lot of love and patience when caring for the animals. I offer daily walks and lots of play time both outside and inside. I have a fenced yard to offer lots of fresh air and outside playtime, weather permitting. We have plenty of toys to share. My pups are always super excited to meet new friends. I can guarantee your pet will feel right at home with us. I currently work from home full time, so I am able to give your pup all the attention requested. Lots of play time and potty breaks. I strive to make this a fun vacation for the pups and create a stress free, fun environment. You will receive daily updates and pictures of all the fun and relaxation of your furry friend.
“Jess watched my little Luna for a few days and she was great. So accommodating and sweet. Her husky Benny got along with Luna so well. I would definitely recommend her to sit for any fur baby!”
“Noel was amazing! It was our first time leaving our puppy with someone during the day. He was so excited to see her every morning. We cannot recommend Noel enough. Will be using her in the future!!!!”
“I love that I came across Jordan’s profile. She is the first person that truly understood my fur baby. She was very informative and she had a great spirit. I will be booking with her from here on out!”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Family and friends have relied on me for decades to take care of their animals. Growing up on a farm helped give me a lifelong affinity for animals. I’m a teacher who is off all summer. I have plenty of time to fill and would love to look after your animals, either in my home, as a drop in, or just a walk. I have a fenced in backyard, two amazing labs who love other dogs, and a wife and daughter who love dogs as much as I do.
About: Got a cavalier when kids left 20 years ago and have been in love with and taken care of pups for family and friends ever since! I work part time as a sub at a local school lunchroom. Consequently, I have a good deal of time to do what I enjoy most, spending time with and caring for pups!! (and on occasion, cats!) I live in a lovely neighborhood with a nice balance of open space and paths for walks. My husband (also a dog lover) and I have a fenced yard and pup bowls and leashes and toys and even a small crate (from Harley) if your pup feels better taking a nap in it! (and he fits!)
About: my wife and I work together as a team to make sure every pup gets lots of love, attention, and personalized care. One of us is always home, so your dog is never left alone and always has company. Ashley my wife does drop ins & dog walking . Whether it’s boarding, daycare, walks, or drop ins, every pup is treated like family. We’re experienced with oral meds, insulin, special diets, and specific potty break routines, so you can feel confident your dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into our daily routine. We offer flexible boarding between 7am to 7pm and dog walking/drop-ins daily from 7 AM to 9 PM, ensuring your pet always receives consistent, professional care. We put safety and comfort first for every pet, whether in our home or yours. Boarding is limited to ensure individual attention! Our home offers a large fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play, with crates used at bedtime only if requested. In clients’ homes, we follow their routines closely to keep pets happy and relaxed.
“Joy was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She provided a safe, fun, and caring environment, and it was clear how much she truly loves animals. My pup came home happy and relaxed. This was my first time using Rover and Joy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter! 🐾”
About: Your sweeties are in caring hands 💛 ✅ Experience with pets of all ages & personalities. ✅ Work from home: Attentive to strict care plan. ✅ Happy to assist with training/manners 🐾. As a pet owner of 35 years and a life-long animal lover, I’ve cared for my own puppies, kittens, and elderly pets over the years. Their quirky personalities have brought nothing but joy to our home! I’ve also cared for exotic littles such as snakes, bearded dragons, hamsters, gerbils, chameleons, ferrets, parakeets, Sun Conure Parrots and farm animals (chickens, pigs, horses, “farm sitting”)! Don’t hesitate to ask if you need additional help. We have 2 dogs of our own: One loves to socialize and play with our guests, while the other usually searches for the sunniest window in the house, to nap until the next potty/treat break. Working from home allows me to be attentive to strict potty/medication and walk/play schedules (if your pet is in need of a regimented care plan). I offer drop-in play dates, walks, back-yard potty/play dates and feeding/litter changes, based upon your instruction. I’m also able to host your pets in my home, if you need a sitter. Before booking boarding services with new clients, I request a meet & greet, so that I can get to know everyone and have a clear understanding of your pet’s personality and needs 😁!

“April is seriously a gem. She has been so kind and patient with my dogs. I was so nervous to start this process on Rover but I am so glad I found her. Not only has she been so caring, but you can just tell how much she loves what she does and goes above and beyond. Thank you so much April!!”

About: I have been around dogs since I was born! I have two of my own fur children, whom both required a lot of attention and are very spoiled! They are also extremely well mannered and I have only self-trained them with patience and proper motivation. I have pet sat for friends and family several times informally, and found it to be so fun! I myself am a very detail oriented person, loves loving on animals, and understands how comforting it is to have the right person looking after your baby! I own my own business so my hours are flexible and can be arranged as needed! I already am caring for my own pets throughout each day! My dogs are both leashed when going out to potty in our yard. I also work on patience, obedience commands, and recall with them so that they have little daily disciplines. Both of my dogs are very treat oriented so it makes keeping them up to snuff with their manners easy! They also get regularly walked through our neighborhood, have an abundance of toys, and a very consistent meal time for breakfast and dinner!
About: My family has always owned one or more dogs or many different breeds since I was born which gave me lots of experience in pet care. I want to ensure that animals are happy and well taken care of. They are a part of our families too. i do go to school and work but i’ve always been good at balancing a schedule and will always be on time. i could dog sit almost everyday and do a good job. i would take care of your pet and your home like they were my own. i believe that if you are going to do something you should do it right.

I provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care, and I'll treat your pet like they're my own. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I work as a kennel attendant at a veterinary clinic and plan my schedule to provide reliable walks, drop-in visits, and attentive care before and after work, as well as on my days off. I follow each pet's normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I provide fresh food and water, walks or playtime, potty breaks, lots of attention, and any requested medications or special care. I always keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog mom for 6 years and have experience caring for dogs through all kinds of situations — from energetic puppy stages to recovery days that require extra patience, comfort, and attention. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I’ll care for them like family. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. My days naturally revolve around walks, playtime, feeding schedules, outdoor time, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, relaxing together, or giving extra attention when they need comfort and patience. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medication instructions if needed, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort.

About: I have had animals all my life, especially dogs amongst a few small pets. I have two dogs myself and I am training all of them with basic commands. I have 5 years of experience in training American pitbulls mixes to have as pets around children and other small animals. Something that sets me apart from others is that I recognize dogs and cats behavior such as signs of discomfort. I have personal experience with raising and caring for dogs of all sizes. I want animals to be comfortable, safe, and healthy. This may be disconcerting for owners that expect their pet to have free roam. I would expect multiple walks and sleeping in their dog beds considering the pets disposition as well as updates about pet stay. For house sitting, I will be willing to adjust prices if my own dogs are allowed to accompany me (not required). I am currently doing delivery services such as Grubhub and Doordash so I set the times I work. I have a flexible schedule and do not leave my home very often. I have 2 small dogs that are playful and dog friendly. I do not have a fenced yard, but I do use the long tie out leashes and outdoor playpens. I recently made a potty area for my dogs. I clean and disinfect it multiple times a week with natural products.
About: I’m the person people rely on to baby sit. I have the love and passion to care and attend to dogs as my own. I have experience as a medical assistant which allows me to make rational decisions to maintain a safe environment for your beloved pet. Self taught cpr and other emergency procedures. I’m currently a home stay dog mom and would love to give my love and attention to other dogs and cats. I’m available and flexible to work with the parent. I have a friendly dog that loves company and would help your dog settle in for a fun baby sitting date. Safe uncluttered clean environment pet friendly. Walking paths available for the dog to enjoy for a potty break. Back yard available, spacious two floor.
About: I've had furry family members my entire life. They taught me the importance of patience, loyalty, and kindness. My family and I were lucky enough to have a variety of dogs as part of our family. A Basset Hound (Jake), a Pitbull (Roxy), an English Mastiff/Shar-pei mix (Bruno), and an American Akita/Shar-pei mix (Meesha). The most important thing about having a furry family member is knowing that they each have their own personality and they have feelings just like humans do. You're their entire world and are deserving of the love and respect that they unconditionally give out to you. And like family members, they have bad days too. Since they aren't capable of voicing their grievances, they rely on their loving family to recognize these issues with patience and caring attention. Currently I have two rescue cats named Cooper and Remy. Both have wildly different personalities, love cuddles, and enjoy playing with their toys. I work at an animal shelter part-time and I am fear free certified. I am available weekdays and weekends. I'm excited for the opportunity to help out those who need that fun night out, end up working overtime, or have fun plans for the weekend. We love our fur-babies but unfortunately, we can't bring them everywhere. I will travel to and sit at the client's home. I would rather your pets be in a comfortable environment that they are familiar with to make this experience as relaxed and happy as possible.
About: I have 15 years' experience caring for many dogs including but not limited to senior dogs, dogs that need meds, and dogs with high energy needs. I also have 8 years' experience with rescue horses, and a further 1 year of experience working with rabbits. I am available Friday afternoons through Tuesday evenings. I will make time to care for your dog and make sure that they are happy and healthy. At this time, I am not offering in-home services. I do have a 6-year-old German Shepherd. We spend lots of time on local trails and at local parks, as well as trick and obedience training.
About: I have taken care of all different kinds of dogs from sizes and breeds since I was a kid. Throughout my life I’ve had several dogs all types of different breeds and sizes, from a mastiff to a miniature poodle. So, I have lots experience in dealing with dogs in different ranges with breed,size, and age. I also have experience with cats, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I am working full time currently, I am off on the weekends unless and normally completely free these days. I work during the day most days. I usually work evenings one day out of the week,tuesdays. I am very flexible outside of my time with work! I currently have a dog and 3 cats. With my dog we feed him in the morning and evening, throughout the day I usually play with my dog let him out to go potty, and a couple walks throughout the day to keep them moving. I also feed my cats morning and night and play with them throughout the day and clean their litter box in the evening.
About: In my years of life, I’ve always had pets. I currently have eight cats of my own and help take care of my parents dog! I rescued ten of my cats throughout my life from living on the street as kittens and raised them from kitten formula to adult cat food. Full time I’m a house cleaner, so I’m surrounded by my client’s pets every single day. They are like my own and it’s the best part of my job. Due to my current unemployment, I am available seven days a week, any time of the day to care for your fur child(ren)! 🥰 please do let me know if your times are flexible.

Started out as waste pick up and branched out from there as I got older and it provided flexibility with schedules Also myself and my family have worked with ABRA, Inc Rescue to help foster 3 Dogs to help give them love and Discipline and skills to be able to be adopted out. I enjoy providing the Love, Patience, Time needed for each animal as every personality and needs are different. Also, knowing that they are a part of our families and to help soothe them in the transition as well as fur parents when they need to leave Currently I am a College student and this fits into my schedule well and I have flexibility and that's why I love it. I am now off for the Summer and even though I go back in the fall I work around my online classes. I have 2 dogs of our own and a cat. Realizing they have individual needs and they love the safe space of their own home it is important to me to provide that care that you specifically may need for them. You know this and I have so many that suffer from Anxiety or Seniors that do better in their own homes. That is what I am here for...whether they require so many walks per day or snuggles or play time

“My two dogs had such a great time with Nichole! She provided updates and pictures. I knew they were in good hands and put my mind at ease! We will definitely be using Nichole again!”
“Our dog loves coming over! She gets so excited in the car when she sees Joy. I also love getting photo updates from them, she’s always playing and well taken care of! 10/10 don’t even think twice, book now!”
“I can't imagine a better person to leave our Parker Boy with! Heather took the best care of our dog and sent pictures and videos to keep our minds at ease while we were apart from him. She made him feel like a part of the family and made sure to do whatever she could to make him comfortable. We would recommend Heather to anyone looking for a sitter for their furry friends!!”
“Jordan took amazing care of my dog Stella while I was away. She sent thoughtful updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind, and it was clear Stella was getting lots of attention and love. I really appreciated the extra care she gave my baby, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again!”
“Meredith did a great job with my two girls! I was a little concerned at first, not sure if she could handle my 10 month old German Shepherd, Jream, but overall, she did very well even without having a fenced yard. My girls still got a full hour of playtime in a nearby fenced area where they were able to run and play ball freely. Meredith followed all my instructions, and I would definitely use her again.”
“It’s so cute to see my Chaseypoo interact with Amia and Joshua, the kids and their pups. They adore her and she comes home happy and tired and ready for a nap.”
“Cathy is so lovely and caring. She has watched our pups in last minute situations and has been wonderfully accommodating. I think one of the dogs might break his tail from wagging it so hard with excitement when we pull into her driveway. Thank you Cathy!”
“April is the best! I bring my dog to her instead of leaving him with family because he loves her house and dogs so much. Great communication and clearly a massive dog lover.”
“I was in from out of town and Eleanor took wonderful care of my two dogs. They had a big, secure, fenced outdoor space. It was clear that Eleanor and her husband had a passion for pups and were very knowledgeable. I would trust them with my dogs anytime!”
“Thanks so much for scheduling the meet & greet. And most of all, taking care of my fur baby Zoe. So happy she did so well. Really excited about finding such a great fur mom!! You are so appreciated?❤️ The photos and updates were so very thoughtful and truly beautiful from such a kind soul!”
“Noel and his family were wonderful. Everyone gave Tom love and affection. I have no doubt that he felt very well looked after. Every day she didn't hesitate to respond to my messages and send photos. It reassures us a lot when we know that our pet friends are in good hands.”
“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.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have raised several from young puppies into adulthood. I currently care for my three dogs—Nala, Sage, and Willow—and have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic puppy care, and giving each dog the patience and attention they deserve. I’ll treat your pet like they’re one of my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I receive my work schedule monthly, so I keep my availability up to date and am happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit both of our schedules. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, and provide a loving, dependable environment while you’re away.
“Mary was amazing. My dog loved her instantly. She was able to take care of my diabetic dog with his special food and feeding schedule. He came home happy and relaxed instead of crazy and hoarse from battling where we used to board him:at the vet's office. I will definitely be using this service and Mary in particular again. She sent me pictures of him so i could see how conformable he was. Thanks to rover in general and great gratitude to Mary and her amazing family. ”
“Tonisa did a wonderful job taking care of my doggies. This was my first time using this site and was not disappointed. She went above my expectations and I’m a really anxious person when it comes to leaving my dogs in someone else’s care. Will definitely love for her to care for my dogs in the future. This is better than boarding facilities!”
“Juliana is amazing. She was able to accommodate on such a last minute booking. Her eager to understand your pet is beyond grateful. She cares to the needs of the your pet in every aspect including teaching and developing. We look forward to holding onto Juliana for future bookings and continuing seeing her grow with her pet care and support. Thanks for everything Juliana, we appreciate you so much.”
