About: Your pets will be in loving, reliable hands with me. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family, giving them so much attention and comfort that they won’t even notice you’re away🥰 I’m a stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available most days and can easily adjust to your pet’s needs. Whether your pet requires extra cuddles, calm companionship, or lots of playtime, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and happy. When your pet stays in my home, they become part of my family from the moment they walk through the door. I provide a clean, safe, and pet friendly environment where they can relax, explore, and feel completely comfortable. I have 1 cat. Her name is Emerald she is 2 years old and she is absolutely spoiled. She has her own wall climbing catch tree that she loves and tons of toys.
“Emily is an incredible sitter and we feel lucky to have found her. Our boy is still a puppy and she knew just how to handle him.

About: I bring a calm, reliable, and highly attentive approach to pet care—shaped not just by helping friends and neighbors, but by raising my own very happy, well-loved Goldendoodle. I understand firsthand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’m naturally detail-oriented, so I stick closely to routines, feeding schedules, and each pet’s unique personality. Whether your dog needs long walks and playtime or a more relaxed, steady presence, I adapt to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for—and you get complete peace of mind while you’re away. Not currently working so available to look after 24/7 and at home most of the time. They’ll be with me a lot of the time! My chilled goldendoodle makes even the most nervous of dogs feel comfortable. I have an unfenced yard so always take the dogs out on the lead for a quick bathroom break back there when needed and then do 2-3 walks a day depending on the dogs needs/weather. I have a very dog friendly home with lots of space to play and then in the evenings it’s cuddles watching Netflix! They’re more than welcome on the bed but can also accommodate a crate if you’d prefer. My guest bathroom is all set up for doggy baths if you’d like a clean sparkly dog on your return :)
“Ann-Marie has been watching my little guy Ollie and she has been the best. She has been allowing me to work in peace. She cares for him like her own and I would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds, from energetic puppies to quirky seniors. I work from home, so I’m able to offer tons of attention, exercise, and consistency throughout the day. Having lived with everything from labs to Pyrenees mixes, I understand the importance of meeting each dog’s unique needs, whether that’s structured walks, gentle senior care, or patient socialization for shy pups. I’m comfortable with big dogs and independent personalities, and my own experience training puppies and supporting older dogs means your pup is in caring, knowledgeable hands.What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for a variety of breeds—including puppies and seniors—and my work-from-home flexibility means dogs get real companionship and attention all day. I understand big, independent, and quirky personalities, and I prioritize individualized care, from puppy training to gentle support for older dogs. I take the time to get to know every dog, building trust through patience, routine, and play. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, not an afterthought. Since I work from home, I’m able to integrate walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day—whether it’s a morning stroll, afternoon games in the park, or relaxed evenings together. My routine is flexible, so dogs always get outside for fresh air and exercise and receive plenty of attention between my work sessions. On weekends, I love exploring new neighborhoods, local parks, or heading to the beach—always bringing dogs along for new adventures. Whether it’s active pups needing stimulation or seniors who prefer a calm presence, I adapt my days to make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and part of my everyday world. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and integrated into my daily routine—regular walks to nearby parks or the beach, supervised playtime, and cozy rest spots throughout my home. I keep to each dog’s familiar schedule as much as possible, including feeding times, exercise, and any training or medication routines. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely, from special diet needs to unique quirks or favorite toys, and keep in touch with updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and cared for. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, structure, and genuine affection—whether they’re here for a day, a weekend, or longer.
“Our dog, Penny, had a great time with Brett (and Pepper)! I loved that she got to go on several walks and have their company while I was at work. Plus Brett was very accommodating with my schedule. Would definitely book again!”
“Anh is absolutely amazing!! Our dogs have a lot of anxiety issues and codependency, so we were nervous about their first time staying with a sitter- but they loved going to Anh’s! She did an amazing job with them, sent adorable pics of them cuddling up with her and going for long walks, and it helped put our minds at ease to know they were so well cared for and comfortable with her! Anh is so sweet and her passion is evident. We will definitely be reaching out next time we’re in the area!”
“My pup has done daycare with Jason three times now and she runs up to his front door excited each time. Jason shares photos and videos each day and maps of their walks and bathroom breaks. He’s a great communicator and it’s so comforting to leave my (big) dog with him when I’m at work knowing she’s fully taken care of. Can’t recommend him enough!”
About: Hi! My name is Megan and I’m a passionate dog lover and experienced dog owner. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs because I care for one of my own every day. I provide reliable, attentive, and fun dog walking and sitting services to help keep your pup happy, healthy, and exercised. Whether your dog enjoys energetic walks, leisurely strolls, or extra time for sniffing and exploring, I tailor each walk to their comfort level and personality. As a fellow pet parent, I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, patience, and care while in my hands. I currently am working as a nurse, and work typically three days a week. The other four days I am home and able to care for your fur baby! I will never accept booking on days I work to ensure they have proper attention throughout the day. I treat each pet that comes into my home as my own! That being said I do have a dog of my own who is very friendly with other animals. I ensure that they are well stimulated throughout the day with walks, chew toys, lick mats etc. I just ask that you give me any details you can to ensure your pet has a great stay/walk!

“Angelina was great with our dogs and I was nervous at first because of our breed of the 2 dogs and the size of our bigger dog most people are afraid of pits or are not to fond of them but she handled it very well. Did everything she was supposed to plus more. She was super kind and patient and our dogs loved her instantly. She provided great communication also. I wouldn’t know what we would have done without her while we were out of town but she gave me some relief. This was my first time and experience with the app and I loved it. I would rebook Angelina if I ever need assistance with Brick and Yola again. No matter the height or weight of a dog it didn’t scare her off , nor the excessive barking at times and the fact they love to jump on people lol. She was genuine and loved every moment from my understanding.”
About: Preferred Name: Del I adore animals, and as far as I can tell the feeling is mutual. Roommates, partners, and friends are always impressed by how quickly their pets take to me and jokingly complain that I'm "stealing" them away. I've cared for pets in my family since I was 12. I'm an enthusiastic walker and I'm adamant about keeping cats and dogs stimulated with playtime. Currently between jobs so my schedule is very flexible. As such, I'm free to devote all I can to taking care of your lovely critters. I make visits and house stays as appropriate. Meticulous about following pet care instructions to a T as you know your pet better than I ever could. Will make sure that your pet is stimulated, fed, loved, and cared for so that your absence goes hopefully as unnoticed as possible.
“Morgan and Meaghan were great! They were very easy to work with. On top of that, they were very flexible with our last minute request. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good dog sitter.”
“Owen has been great! I can tell our pup looks forward to seeing him. He provides feedback on the walk and even helps reinforce the training habits we’ve been working on implementing with our dog. It’s fun to see the photo updates from the walk he provides. 5 stars.”
“Catarina is a wonderful walker, and Winslow just loves her! She’s attentive and sends photos to update us on his walks; she’s also flexible with schedule changes. We will definitely continue to use her for our sheltie’s needs. Highly recommend!”
“Claire was excellent! She kept me updated and took some cute pics of my dog before/during/and after the walk. She even sent me a picture of my cat when she saw him after walking my dog. Highly recommend!”
“Alicia did a great job doing lunch time walks for a week on short notice. She was communicative, on time, and handled our rescue pup’s needs and tricky walking style extremely well! Would definitely hire again, and enthusiastically recommend.”
“Mirabel was great walking my dog! She was able to last minute walk him while I was in a bind trying to get him a walk while I worked! Would recommend her!”
“David is awesome with handling puppies, adults and dogs who are more anxious. Our dog gets so excited to see David everytime he comes. David does a great job of tiring them out and giving them opportunities to be social and get play time with other dogs.”
About: I have a deep love and respect for non-human animals. Growing up with multiple indoor and outdoor cats and a family dog (a feisty miniature poodle!), I have developed a strong knowledge base of pet behavior. In my work as a pet caretaker, I look for and respond to behavioral cues and needs, allow space for pets to come to me and feel safe with me, adapt to pets' energy levels, encourage play, and bring a compassionate, patient, and responsible nature. I have most flexibility to take care of your pet on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Afternoons work well for me. Mornings depend on my schedule and pet parents' schedule. First, I greet the pet and check in on their overall wellbeing. If I am pet-sitting, I will take a quick look about their living environment to make sure that it is clean and safe. If I notice an accident or that the pet has gotten into something, I alert the pet parent. I take care of any in-home needs, and then I spend time connecting with the pet through play, attention, and treats (if allowed!). If I am dog-walking, I make sure to bring the pet's gear (leash, harness, poop bags, water, treats) and prepare a planned route.
“AMAZING. If you need someone reliable and that goes beyond this is your sitter. She picked up my request last minute. Ann-Marie provide detailed reviews. She took out my girl to parks and different locations. I 100% recommended Ann-Marie and I will be rebooking with her when I need someone to watch Kilala.”
About: Hello, my name is Stacy and I’m 34 years old. I joined Rover because I love spending time with pets but I’m not in a position to have my own. Since having joined Rover, I’ve worked with reactive dogs, puppies a couple of weeks old, intact dogs and dogs having undergone surgery. I’ve also either pet sat or lived with Labrador Retrievers, Pugs, Poodles, Chihuahuas, Old English Bulldogs, Shih Tzus, Schnauzers, Irish Wolfhounds, Pitbulls, German Shepherds, Great Danes and others. This is aside from the cats, reptiles and tarantulas I’ve either sat for or interacted with during a long term period. As of April 2026, my longest stay (over two weeks) has been for a dog with cancer. It’s been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. I’m available to sit, do drop-ins and walks every day of the week. I’m a small business owner in a separate industry and grateful for the flexibility. I generally require a 3 day notice for house sitting, walks and drop-ins. There are days in which I can make myself available the same day ONLY for walks and drop-ins. You will know if I am available for same day walks and drop-ins if I have appeared in your search results. You are welcome to submit a request for same day service then. I do not do walks and drop-ins for others during a house sitting if a client has indicated they are uncomfortable with this or if it conflicts with another pets walking/feeding time. I do not bring guests of any kind to client’s homes. It is fine if clients have service workers such as house cleaners entering the home, as long as I am made aware of the time of their arrival. I generally do not wear shoes in people’s houses and I always clean up after myself if staying for several hours or more. I may bring house slippers to wear inside based on the circumstances. Please indicate if you are able to provide both a towel and a washcloth. It is ok if you can only provide one of these or neither. I will bring my own if needed. I am slightly anemic so I ask that you keep your place at a reasonable temperature. You may also provide a few blankets.
About: I have been a pet sitter for a couple years! Also, I have volunteered and interned at a veterinary hospital these experiences helped me become more informed on pet care. My main priority is providing your pet with the best care!! I will clean water bowl, provide fresh food and any further needs . I currently work a full time job but typically free Monday anytime before 8am and then again after 6:30pm, Tuesday and Thursday anytime from 9-11:30am and then again after 4pm, Wednesday, and Friday anytime from 7-1:30pm. For Saturday anytime in the day works for me and for Sunday anytime before 6am and then again at 3:30pm. My main priority is comfort making sure you are comfortable with entrusting your pet in my care and making sure your pet is comfortable with me. I will do this by allowing the pet to become familiar with me so they aren’t scared and providing treats as well as playful sessions to get them comfortable.
“Great walkers :)) so friendly and accommodating. I appreciate when a walker does their best to do long distance walks in 30 minutes. In a dream world, I’d love to pay for an hour but just can’t afford it right now, so having a walker that is putting in the effort, means so much. Nothing better than a tired dog!”
About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life, and often petsit for friends and family! As the mom of a reactive cattle dog, I have experience with training and managing reactivity on walks and at home. I am local and have a car, so I'm able to travel a little farther to take excellent care of your pets! I work remotely, so as long as your home has a reliable internet connection I can spend most or all of the day with your pet! My schedule is very flexible so I can easily take pets out for frequent potty breaks if needed, and/or take frequent play breaks to keep your pet happy and entertained. As a dog and cat owner in Boston, I am always very careful and mindful of opening/closing doors and windows to prevent fur babies from getting out when they're not supposed to. As a reactive dog mom, I'm also used to keeping a close eye out for potential triggers on walks.

About: I have 2 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I’m comfortable administering medications and have experience working with anxious pets, ensuring they feel safe and at ease. I use positive reinforcement techniques and tailor my care to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Your pup will be in loving, attentive hands! I have completed the Red Cross Pet First Aid course in order to be prepared for any events that may occur. I work a flexible, remote job so I am available to tend to your babies as needed! My daily schedule starts at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 10:30 p.m., but I'm flexible to your needs! I have a large, private porch with plenty of potty spots for your baby, as well as a park within a 5 minute walk if that is what your pet needs. My dog, Juniper, will be a great companion for yours!
