“Kimberly and Brian were wonderful! They took sent lots of updates and pictures of my pup and took great care of him. With a senior dog who has to take medication morning and night, it was a relief to have him in such good friends. And he and their dog, Lola, became buds by the end of it.

“Landy had such a great time with them and he quickly settled in with them (which was amazing because he is fairly anxious). They sent me lots of pictures and stayed in contact about how he was doing throughout his stay. They were super flexible with timing which was a huge help. Overall, they have been some of the best sitters I’ve had and I feel extremely comfortable leaving Landy with them. I will absolutely work with them again the next time I need to board my dog (I just hope that they will be available as they were the best sitters!)”

She gave me daily updates with plenty of photos, which helped me feel reassured that Wolf was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely consider booking with Aislinn again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

She has great attention to detail and went above and beyond in providing updates. She even put the cat food away neater than I had left it for her. As a first time pet parent, I felt very comforted that my cat was in kind and safe hands. Beyond feeding, I mainly wanted a companion for my kitten as she is young, and Samantha played with all her favorite toys with her. I’d trust her with anyone’s pet, and I can’t wait to use her services again. Thank you Samantha!”
“Jenica was amazing and so kind!! She took such good care of my cat Goose, sent lots of pictures and updates, and I had peace of mind knowing he was in good care. 10/10 would love for her to take care of him again!”

We already have Aretha booked for our next trip and we feel great knowing she will be going to a home that she liked, too.”

“Our pets are never really happy when we are away (particularly now that they're used to us being home 24/7) but they were in excellent hands. Catherine is responsive and took good care of my little menagerie over the holiday weekend. We will definitely use her services again when we go out of town next.”
“Ainsley was absolutely amazing. She was willing to change to 2 visits a day at short notice when our cat needed to have antibiotics while we were away, and she managed to give her liquid medicine, which is no small feat! We were so impressed with her communication and professionalism, and if she'll have us, we'll definitely book with her again!”

About: My name is Dave, A mobile gym for the dogs, and make sure they get more than enough exercise. Generally I do group sessions with pups and have them socialize/play. Although I do 1 on 1 sessions as well! I love dogs, cats, and all animals. I grew up with a half black lab half rottweiler. I'll treat your animals as if they were my own. My availability is open during most weeks. Please contact me with any other question you may have. I’m currently working weekends and have open availability during the week between 10am-6pm. I’ll have plenty of time during the day to take animals on walks to local parks. After going over with the pet owners on their animal/s behaviors, I follow their guidelines on how to take care of the pet/s best. Going on walks, playing in parks, or just keeping the animals company in home.

About: Hi, I’m Sophia — a lifelong animal lover and trusted pet care partner. Growing up in a home with three (or more!) dogs at a time, I’ve always had a deep bond with animals. Friends and family used to call me Dr. Dolittle because animals naturally gravitate toward me — and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ve been the go-to sitter for years, caring for dogs big and small, energetic and elderly. I work remotely, so your pup gets constant companionship, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I’m just steps from the beach and local parks for daily walks and adventures. Being trusted with someone’s pet isn’t something I take lightly — I take real pride in being reliable, responsive, and loving. Whether it’s a weekend stay or daily drop-ins, I’m here to give your dog the same level of care and comfort they get at home. Let’s give your pup a tail-wagging good time — and give you total peace of mind! I work remotely, which means your dog gets plenty of attention, snuggles, and potty breaks throughout the day. I’m just steps from a beach and park — perfect for walks, fetch, and sniffing adventures. Can do scheduled drop ins at your house, daily walks or board in-home. I provide personalized, attentive care whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, calm environment with plenty of love and supervision. I work remotely, so they’re rarely alone, and we stick to their usual routines as closely as possible. Pets are always free to relax where they’re most comfortable — whether that’s on the couch, their bed, or my lap! In a client’s home, I aim to be a seamless extension of your routine. I follow all care instructions closely, from feeding and potty breaks to medications and playtime. I always respect your space and strive to leave your home just as I found it — or better. No matter the setting, my focus is on keeping pets safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m Victoria and I am a full time dog sitter. I have a dog of my own! She is a chihuahua-dachshund mix and her name is Lila! I have dog sat for family and friends and wanted to bring my love for animals on to Rover! Because I am always home, your dog will not be left alone for long extended periods of time. I will be able to provide consistent care and plenty of attention! I live an apartment that is extremely dog friendly! It is conveniently located 5 mins walking distance from dog parks and other green areas for your pup.
“Taylor was great! Super energetic and fun loving, perfect for my puppy. She was communicative and trustworthy right from the start. Will for sure be using her again.”

I’m currently working from home full time, so I’ll be able to give your pet lots of love, care, and attention with as many walks and treats you prefer. I live in an apartment with two other roommates who also love dogs so much. Happy to schedule meet and greets to ensure you and your pet feel safe
About: I have had pets in my house for as long as I can remember. Cats, dogs, a bunny, hamsters, geckos, fish, and guinea pigs. I even fostered multiple cats/kittens at a time. I love all the little quirks every dog has and no specific needs are off limits. I also have experience administering meds to dogs and cats. I want the animals to feel love and comfort while with me! I treat animals like family :) My calendar on Rover is always updated! I will always be home with your pet :) Doggy Daycare: 8 hour days. You can book longer than that but it will be charged as extra hours. I have no pets in my place currently. But I can give your dog walks/potty breaks at any time of the day. The pets are allowed on the couch and in bed if they wanted but if you prefer to bring their crate that’s ok too!

I’ll follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you know your fur baby is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and truly love caring for all kinds of pets. I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters of my own, and I’ve also boarded dogs and cats for friends and family. I have experience fostering kittens and understand how much patience, attention, and care animals need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet needs a long walk, some extra playtime, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with pets of all personalities and love getting to know each animal’s unique needs! My schedule is very flexible because I work remotely, so I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I’m happy to work with each pet parent’s schedule and can often be flexible with timing. I’m also available for boarding and overnight care depending on the dates and needs of your pet. I take pet safety and comfort very seriously and always make sure pets are supervised, secure, and cared for according to their owner’s instructions. I’m comfortable caring for pets in my home or a client’s home and will maintain their normal routines as closely as possible. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care.

Bandit gives a 5 PAWS rating and hopes he can visit again soon”
