“Sandra is great! Lottie clearly remembers her and is so excited to see her which says it all. She communicates well, loves dogs and has a nice fenced in yard. We will keep coming back for sure!”
“Tricia was amazing and I cannot thank her enough! We left our dog Evie with her for 4 days and she had a blast! She sent pictures and videos throughout our time away and it definitely helped ease the pain of missing our girl! When we picked her up, she was happy, excited and very well cared for and you could tell she had the best time. Tricia is the best and I will absolutely be leaving my girl with her any time we go away from now on.”
“I highly recommend this sitter! They were incredibly responsive, transparent, and communicative from the start, which gave me immediate comfort and trust. It was obvious how much they genuinely cared for Tahoe, and I knew he was in great hands. Their home was clean, safe, and welcoming, and the updates throughout his stay were greatly appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again!”
“Summer was lovely to communicate with and sent a lot of photos of Raven, which I loved ! Raven was super pooped when I picked her up so I know she had a lot of exercise too.”
“Cannot thank them enough. It was my first time using Rover and on a short notice request- no problem. I got pictures of Alfie playing and cuddling throughout his stay which set me at ease. He also came back smelling nicer and was freshly brushed, he was so happy! I 100% recommend Heather and Norman”
“Glorymar and her husband are so welcoming, friendly and polite! Billy Ray had a nice time there, and she gave a full report, so I could tell how very much she cared for our precious boy! She was also very accommodating and flexible with our plans.”
“If Arthur could write this review himself he would. He has had a few sleepovers with Amy and Mayzie. Every time he arrives he sprints to her door with tail wagging and pure joy. When he gets back home it’s KO. Snoring like he ran a marathon and had the time of his life doing it. I would trust Amy again, and again. 🐾”
“Patti ( and her family) are the best! It was my first time leaving my pup and it was a 12 day honeymoon. I was nervous but she sent pictures and updates every couple days and I’m pretty sure my little guy was actually sad to leave. I would recommend her to EVERYONE!”
“We were very nervous because Gordie had never slept away from his home. He seemed very happy and content in the photos Caitlin was kind to send. I will definitely send him to her house again.”
“Monica took care of our 12 years old golden retriever. Unfortunately our dog had a seizure during the stay and Monica did great. She called me right away and because she couldn’t reach me she called our vet right away to receive instructions. Thank you so much Monica for taking care of Nara at least for a few hours.”
“Saktah did a great job taking care of my elderly and rather unfriendly kitty, Koshka, for two weeks while I was vacationing. She was very professional, organized, and caring, kept me updated on how my kitty was adjusting, and showed genuine affection and concern for her. She's driven to get things right and wants your pet to be as comfortable as they can be while you're gone. So if you (like me) have a pet that needs extra love and care, and you'd like to relax during your vacation knowing they're in good hands, go with Saktah. She's got you covered.”
“Happy and satisfied with Lataya quick response time and positive attitude given my last minute schedule changes. She is the best doggie MOM to my puppy Charlie! We bothare happy! 😌”
“Lindsey was great. She handled changes in scheduling. She kept our dog and another visitor separate when they weren’t getting on that well, but shifted gears when another visitor was a better fit, demonstrating flexibility and good decision-making. Our dog enjoyed her yard and her family’s company. We appreciated that he was in good hands. We’ll definitely have him stay there again.”
“Austin has excellent communication, very flexible with scheduling. Immediately setup a time prior to the appointment to have a meet and greet. Walter had an absolute fabulous time with Austin! Kept us up to date with how things were going, with videos, pictures, and messaging. Highly recommended Austin! 10/10 will book again!”

“Charisma was amazing! Buck clearly loved her and was so comfortable the entire time. She kept me updated with daily photos, which I really appreciated, and her communication was great throughout. What stood out most was her ability to problem-solve—she handled small issues confidently and kept me informed without making anything stressful.”
“Alexis was an amazing cat sitter! My cat has severe asthma and requires a daily inhaler, and Alexis handled his care with ease. I was able to go out of town completely worry free because I knew my cat was in great hands. Alexis is friendly, professional, and clearly cares about animals :)”
About: All my life I’ve had a variety of different animals all including dogs, cats, birds, turtles, rabbits, etc. You name it, I have owned it. In some time spans all at the same time. I would love to take all this experience that I was fortunate enough to obtain throughout the years and bring it to your home! I am currently enrolled at the Western New England University. At the time being as I am on summer break I am looking for something to do to take up all this newly acquired time. As well as make some extra money to go towards my tuitions. Since I have a love for animals I thought this was the perfect opportunity for me. At the moment I currently have 4 dogs, 3 cats, 2 rabbits and a cocktail. As you can imagine yes they can certainly be a handful but I couldnt imagine my life without them. Each and everyone being on a schedule of their own which is always never a problem.
“I had Molly come to the house a few times during this past week and Molly was wonderful with Benny, she arrived on time, follow my directions with Benny, left me detailed messages about the visits. I had a weird schedule and she was able to accommodate us. We really appreciate it! And I also got lots of pictures, This was my first time using Rover we’re grateful for Molly, I will definitely have her services again.”
“Me and my husband hired Shayla for drop in visits while we were on our honeymoon and we cannot thank her enough for the fantastic job she did looking after our cats. She dropped in twice a day for a week and provided us with not only updates but photos of each visit, we really appreciated being able to “check in” with them during our vacation and loved watching them warm up to and become friendly with her during that time. We will 100% hire her again and highly recommend her!”
“Amazing service, I was out for a week for work and Hannah make a trip everyday to check on my cat so I don't have to worry about it much.. Really appreciative of her help. Very affordable price and, good communication, impressive service all around. Definitely will call her back for her service.”
“Ace was so amazingly flexible and helpful during a long trip away from home. We booked her originally to care for our cats while we were away for a holiday trip, but when a family emergency came up and we needed to leave early she was able to add more dates to the booking and was right there sending updates and cute photos from home-lifting our mood during a difficult time. Our cats were in great spirits when we returned, and she went above and beyond straightening up their messy litter boxes-so our home felt well cared for as well. Can’t say enough great things about Ace. She’s a treasure and truly a caring person who loves animals.”
“Alexandra was reliable and took great care in making sure the cats were taken care of as we discussed. She cleaned everything up nicely very communicative and again in a heartbeat! Thank you!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats(only a couple) since I was a kid. My friends, family, and nanny families knew they had someone they could trust to take care of and love their fur baby like it was mine. I have lived with a dog my entire life-all rescues(Golden Retriever, Pitty Mixes, King Charles Spaniel, Rotty Mix, Lab Mixes, Great Dane…) Our current fur baby Midnight is a senior Lab Pitty mix. I have experience caring for puppies to seniors. I am comfortable giving medication, feeding, bathing, walking, cleaning up after, and transporting your dog. I have less experience with cats, but have house sat several cats-making sure to follow their feeding schedule and cleaning out their litter box. I have a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. I worked with children 6 weeks to 5 years old for over 12 years. Which means I have lots of patience, love, and understanding. I have been lucky to be able to stay home with our daughter the last five years. But I am ready to make my way back into part-time work. I believes pets are our family and I will treat yours like mine. It would be a honor to help care for and love on them. I am currently a stay at home mom. My daughter is in preschool three days a week and starting kindergarten in the fall. So I have flexibility in my schedule. At the moment I am available Monday, Wednesday, & Friday 9am-12:30pm, and flexible Thursdays and weekends. I can do drop ins, hangout time, playtime, walks, and lots of snuggles and pets. At the moment I am not able to board any dogs or cats. My sweet boy was attacked in his foster home and still learning to trust other dogs again. I am comfortable come to your house to care for your pets.
“My cat seemed to really enjoy spending time with Kaitlyn and I really appreciated getting photos showing that she was getting some quality time while I was away! Arrival times were very consistent which I’m sure also helped to relieve some stress and create a sense of routine, which I appreciated.”
“Jessiana was absolutely fantastic. She took great care of my babies. I have a hermit cat that takes a long time to warm up to people. I even said not to be concerned if you never see him. He started to come out within a few days and that is huge. I always worry about my diabetic cat when I go away because he his elderly. She took absolutely fantastic care of him. I am very grateful for her care.”
“When I had my meet-up with Andrea, I sensed that she was exactly who I needed when leaving my cats for a week with a stranger for the first time. Although Max and Zoey usually hide from strangers/family/friends, Andrea sent me pictures of both of them! She also rinsed every can and pouch, and recycled them. Very tidy! Such an easy experience for me and I will utilize Andrea as often as needed if she is available.”
About: Animals enjoy my dog and I's company. Come unsure, leave longing to return. A visit will sure turn into a playdate and lots of misses and kisses. Your pets will feel right at home because the pets here aren't pets; their family. Whether they become extended cousins, or like brother and sister, your pet will feel like home away from home with us! Your pet has plenty of space to run around and if they're up for it will do so on their walks. Each of us have our own personality and here theirs can shine, grow, and learn to be in and create harmony with the world around them.

“Thank you so much for your understanding and care. She had such a great time and slept all the way home. Wish you lived closer because I know Mei would love to visit again. She is so shy and you really became friends fast. You are the best!”
“Absolutely thrilled with the exceptional care provided by James! Leaving my beloved Max in his capable hands was the best decision I could have made. His attention to detail, genuine love for animals, and reliability truly set him apart. I received regular updates and photos, which eased any worries while I was away. It's evident that James treats each pet as if they were his own, providing not just basic care, but also affection and companionship. I brought him back, I found a happy and content Max, which speaks volumes about the quality of care provided. Without hesitation, I highly recommend James to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you for going above and beyond!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Karen. She watched my 9 week old puppy and provided me with updates. Karen was also flexible. I had to change my drop-off and pick-up time during one of the days that she watched my puppy; and Karen made it work for me. I's super thankful.”
“We have loved working with Tricia! Very flexible, understanding, and affordable. She went the extra mile for our senior dog. Can’t wait to book the next visit for our dog!”
“Okay, I am sorry. Cannot find another way to leave message on Rover. FYI, there is no "3-dotted icon in the upper right corner of the upcoming tab so that I can modify a booking." As Novelette & I discussed this week, I will not need daycare on August 10, 13, 24,27, and 31, or September 3. This is a combination of her and my vacation weeks and will be a rare exception to our regular Monday & Thursday schedule. Thank you for your attention, and here is my review: "Bruce loves visiting Novelette and is making a great adjustment there. She is very warm, nurturing, and responsive to his needs. We could not be happier with how things are going so far. Thank you!"”
“Miss Megan is great! JJ loves going to visit whenever we’re in town and I feel so confident that he is safe and happy with her. She does a great job keeping him quiet and calm until I come back. Thank you, Miss Megan ♥️”
“Amazing experience! Paul was awesome with communicating and sending regular updates/pictures! She was very well taken care of while she stayed with him and his family in their home. You can tell Paul is an experienced dog professional and I felt at ease my entire vacation! He pooped my 3.5 year old girl out! When I picked her up she was excited to see me but when we got home she laid on the couch and started to snore!! Her days were filled with adventures! I wholeheartedly recommend Paul. Your dog will be in good hands :)”
About: I am an elementary physical education teacher who plays a lot of sports and loves to hang out with friends and family. I love playing and taking care of dogs. When I was younger I first started to dog sit for a few friends when they go out of town for the week/weekend, but now I enjoy giving all of my free time an attention to dogs. I love to run with dogs and play with them in the yard or at parks and see the smile on their face when they are playing with their toys! I am flexible with cancellations and any specific requests you have. Reach out if you have any questions! I would love to give your dog a mini vacation!!!! I am a very active person who likes to keep busy. I work during the week and are free in the early morning and afternoon. I am comfortable in new settings and can keep routines and rules that are had in the house. I can slowly build trust with the dog and have them find their comfort with me!
“Sylvia is an amazing dog sitter! I used her services for two days, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She and her family are incredibly kind, welcoming, and caring. They treated Luna like she was part of the family, and it truly gave me peace of mind while I was away. The best part? Luna had so much fun that she didn't even want to come home! 🥹🐾❤️ I highly recommend Sylvia to anyone looking for a loving, trustworthy, and attentive dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Sarah is very attentive to my dog! She has made her very welcome and my dog has adjusted very well. I am very glad to have a safe and comfortable place to leave my dog while I am at work. Sarah is wonderful!”
“Still the best dog sitter in Western Mass! Even though I’m moving out of the county, I’ll probably still drive to Indian Orchard to drop the dogs off . . . because Jessiana is the best dog sitter in Western Mass.”
“We left our puppy with Destanie to care for the day, so that we could celebrate a birthday. This was our puppies' first time away from home and our puppy wasn't fully accustomed to new people, new dogs, new surroundings and new routines yet, so both our puppy and we were a bit nervous about leaving him for the day. But Destanie did a fine job of addressing all our anxieties and our puppy was very well cared for. We received periodic pictures of our puppy throughout the day to reassure us that he was happy and having fun, so we could focus on just having our own fun with the birthday events. I would gladly recommend Destanie as a dog care provider and I would use her services again.”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have always cared deeply for them. I’ve had three dogs of my own, a Chihuahua, a mixed pug, and a Golden Retriever and each of them meant so much to me. Dogs bring so much happiness, loyalty, and comfort, and spending time with them has always been something I truly enjoy. Caring for dogs isn’t just a job to me, it’s something that genuinely means a lot to me. I work part-time as a Personal Care Assistant (PCA), where I help care for clients and support their daily needs. My job has a flexible schedule, which allows me to have open availability Thursday through Sunday, and sometimes even during weekdays depending on my shifts. This flexibility makes it easy for me to fit in dog walks and pet companionship throughout the week I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets in my home. I have a spacious house and a large fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of fresh air. My neighborhood is also very walkable, which makes it perfect for regular walks and exercise. I make sure every dog feels cared for, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention while they’re with me.
About: I’m a CTRS and I have trained my dogs one of which is a a therapy dog that at times I will take to work. I normally do at least 15 minutes of training with my pups! I’m off Sunday Monday and Tuesday fully, and my partner is off Saturday. My day starts off walking my dogs then letting them outside to play. Your dog would be apart of that. I have a fenced backyard and a bunch of toys. The day starts off going for a walk around the block then I let the dogs run outside in the back. After that they come inside to relax and eat breakfast. I let them play in the house and sometimes chill out with their bone always supervised. 😊
About: i’ve taken care of dogs/animals mostly all my life ,im 21 and owned a dog half my life also but sadly i had to put him down so now i would love to dog sit to still show my love , interest and care into dogs without owning my own again yet i’m home all day unless i make plans and adding pet care into my day would allow me to be more active and it just gives me something do to during the day i have a fended in yard and a good sized back yard for pets to play and roam freely , no other pets in the house hold at the moment,
“This was my first time booking with Vassu. Vassu was wonderful with my dog, Maddie. Maddie enjoyed her large fenced in yard, including discovering her dog door. Maddie was also spoiled with walks, dog toys, and the company of Vassu's dog Ninja. Vassu shared pictures with me through out Maddie's stay. Vassu was professional and made my first time experience with the Rover App a comfortable and enjoyable experience. I will definitely use Vassu in the future. Maddie and I thank Vassu, Ninja, and her family for all the love you gave her while she stayed.”
About: Hi there! I’m so glad you’re here. As a lifelong dog lover and work-from-home professional, I’ve created a cozy, peaceful space where pups can feel right at home while their humans are away. I only host one dog at a time (unlike many petsitters), so your pup will be treated like family and get my full attention (and all the belly rubs they deserve). I specialize in anxious pups who do not like being with other dogs and do not like being alone - I keep my pup clients as close as they like and give them as much attention as they prefer. My husband and I have two children, 8 and 10 years old, who are very gentle and loving with dogs. We treat our guest pups like they were are own while they’re with us! All our doggy guests are welcome to make themselves at home—on the couch, in the sunny spots, wherever they’re happiest, I do not confine them to one room/zone of the house - no pet gates here! I have a large, unfenced backyard with a dog run for zoomies and potty breaks and we love getting out for walks too. I also have experience with senior dogs and administering medications, so if your pup needs a little extra TLC, they’re in good hands. If you’re looking for a quiet, cozy home-away-from-home where your dog will be loved and spoiled, I’d love to be their sitter! Please note: unfortunately we have an allergy in our home to short-haired shedding dogs and can only accept long-haired (hypoallergenic) dogs :) I'm home all day to spend time with your pup and treat them like they were my own! My goal is to make your dog feel like they’re still at home, ensuring they experience joy and companionship until you return. I will send regular updates and photos to reassure you that your furry friend is thriving and enjoying their time. We have a large un-fenced backyard with a run hooked-up for your pup to spend lots of time outside. We also love to take walks down our street and at the local park. If your pup has some leash aggression with other dogs, we can walk them in our large private backyard to ensure they get exercise but without the stress other dogs may cause. If they’re house trained they do not need to be crated unless it’s their preference. In the house, I allow our doggy friends on furniture (unless you specify otherwise) and in all rooms of my home. They will not be separated in a different room or crated, unless you specify otherwise.
“Anna is a wonderful doggy care taker! Our two pups were very happy and she sent lots of pictures of them cuddling and hanging out just as if they were at our own home, not somewhere new! This was our first time using doggy day care for one of our dogs who we recently rescued so we were nervous but we couldn't have found a better person to make them feel at peace. Definitely recommend and will be requesting her in the future!”

“Erin has been absolutely amazing with my dog Earl. Since she has been walking him he’s more calm when I get home and behaves better for me on our walks. I would highly recommend her. Very friendly responsive and amazing with my pup!”
“Hailey was so responsible and delightful to work with,always arriving in a timely manner. In addition she is knowledgeable and aware of my dogs needs & her quirky little behaviors. Hailrys personality & education makes her well suited 4this job and much more and her empathy 4 someone with a disability is beyond her years. I would use her again for everything.”
“Shayla has walked my dog Yogi twice now, and she has been great each time! Our meet and greet went really well, and when it rained on their walk, Shayla took the time to clean Yogi's paws and dry him off. I loved seeing the photos from their walk and playtime on the Rover Card. I look forward to using her again!”
About: I have done both walking and house sitting for five years, and have worked with and am comfortable handling both large and small dogs. I grew up owning dogs, including a shitzu mix, a poodle mix, and a shelter girl of unknown exact breed but some sort of terrier mix (mom was a JRT). While all but one of the dogs I have owned were under 20 pounds, most of my history in pet sitting has been with has been with dogs in the 30-70 pound range, including labs, huskies, and a pit bull mix as my most frequent clients. I have experience with owning a fear reactive dog, but my comfort with taking care of them will be on a case by case basis. I also have experience with training young dogs for crating, potty training, and leash training I am currently exclusively self employed and have a flexible schedule with my income sources, so I am available most days and times of the week At this time I am only able to provide care in my clients home, I am unable to provide boarding due to limited space in my house I will work with owners to maintain your pets normal schedule, including feeding and walks. I am comfortable crating and using alternate feeders or feeding styles as needed Dogs will never be outside unattended, and will be kept on leash or in fenced in yards unless the owner specifically requests that I do otherwise. Cats will not be taken outside for any reason unless requested by owners. All animals will receive a significant amount of play and/or pet time during each visit, assuming the animal is comfortable with and enjoying it For drop ins, I will provide at least one update per visit including pictures. For continuous house sitting, as my standard I will provide at least three updates per day (morning, mid day, and afternoon/evening) with at least one photo per update. If you would like more or less updates, just let me know and I am fully willing to work with you to get you the amount of contact desired
About: I've been caring for a variety of animals(including dogs, cats, invertebrates, and livestock) for over a decade, since I was about 10 years old. I have experience with animal handling, animal care, dog walking, pet sitting, and animal training. I am a dog trainer, working on getting my CPDT certification and specializing in obedience and reactive dogs. But, I have also trained cats and pigs! I have worked with all breeds, sizes, and ages of dogs, and understand dog body language like it's English. This is currently my main source of income, so I have open availability to take care of your furry(or not furry) friends! I also have a car with plenty of space for animals so I can easily commute and transport pets. I don't live somewhere with an easily accessible space for exercising pets, but I can easily exercise, enrich and keep your dog safe and happy in and outside of your home!
About: All my life I’ve had a variety of different animals all including dogs, cats, birds, turtles, rabbits, etc. You name it, I have owned it. In some time spans all at the same time.

As you can imagine yes they can certainly be a handful but I couldnt imagine my life without them. Each and everyone being on a schedule of their own which is always never a problem.
About: I have taken care of and had pets my whole life. I’ve had small animals to large. I have 14 pets of my own at the moment from hermit crabs, a bird, bearded dragon, guinea pigs, cats and 3 dogs. I love animals. I currently own my own business so I have lots of flexibility in my schedule to take care of your fur baby, so timing of day will never be an issue! I will watch your pets at all time so they don’t get into mischief. I as a pet owner know they can try to run off or eat something they can’t so constant supervision is a must.
About: Hi! I’m the person my family and friends always call when they need someone to watch their pets. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and even fostered over 40 kittens 💙. I genuinely love animals, and they always seem to make themselves right at home with me. I am a full time teacher and currently have the whole summer off, so my schedule is pretty open. I am also available overnight if needed. I have a fenced yard but I also love going for walks with my dog. My cat is indoor and has his feelings on a schedule.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12! I love animals like my own children, im super loving and love to give them love and cuddles! I currently do work part time in retail! So I do have time to also care for animals and give them proper love and care. I follow instructions based on any of the animals needs and with my own animals I care for her and give her all the proper oils and things needed for her fur etc.
About: I worked in a dog daycare facility and have provided many services. I have experience feeding , giving medication, bathing and trimming nails. I have loved dogs all my life but have never had the chance to own one so I do my best to provide quality care and love to any dog I see. I am going to be doing some schooling so I will balance school work with my rover work as well as I can by leaving some days closed off so I can focus on my schoolwork. To start I am only going to be doing walks and drop ins to get used to how the river life works but will probably eventually provide all services.
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep dedication to providing personalized care tailored to each pet's needs. I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention and patience. I excel at establishing a safe, nurturing environment that helps pets feel comfortable and loved in their owners' absence. Beyond standard pet care, I bring exceptional attention to detail, ensuring pets maintain their routines, whether it's administering medication, feeding on a precise schedule, or providing stimulating activities to keep them happy and healthy. What truly makes my services unique is that I view pet care as not just a job but an opportunity to serve the community. As a mother of two teenagers, I involve my children in learning how to responsibly care for animals under my guidance. This helps them understand the value of compassion, empathy, and giving back to others by treating pets with the same love and respect we would our own family members. Together, we aim to provide peace of mind to pet owners by treating their furry family members as our own. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. As someone who juggles multiple responsibilities, I prioritize creating a structured schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care to the pets I look after. Each day, I plan my tasks around the specific needs of the pets in my care, ensuring their feeding, walks, playtime, and any special requirements—like medication or grooming—are handled on time. My flexibility and time-management skills allow me to accommodate even last-minute requests, providing peace of mind to pet owners with busy lives. Incorporating pet care into my routine has also been an invaluable way to teach my children about responsibility and compassion. They often assist me with simple tasks under my supervision, giving them a sense of community involvement while allowing me to maintain a high standard of care for each pet. This integration of pet care into my daily life isn’t just a responsibility—it’s a passion that aligns perfectly with my desire to make a positive impact on both pets and their owners. Caring for pets in their own homes is a responsibility I take very seriously. I strive to provide a seamless experience that maintains the pet’s usual routine and ensures their comfort and safety in a familiar environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I begin by thoroughly understanding their specific needs, including feeding schedules, exercise preferences, playtime activities, and any medical or behavioral requirements. I ensure that every detail is followed precisely to keep pets happy and stress-free. During each visit, I prioritize interactive care, whether that’s engaging in their favorite games, taking them for walks, or simply providing companionship. For pets requiring additional attention, such as seniors or those with special needs, I bring patience and care to ensure they remain calm and comfortable. I also treat my clients’ homes with the utmost respect. I maintain a clean and organized space, follow any provided instructions, and ensure the home is secure when I leave. My goal is to not only care for the pets but also provide peace of mind to their owners, knowing their furry family members and home are in trusted hands.
About: I've loved and cared for dogs for most of my life, and currently have a Chihuahua mix named Chico and a cat named Frankie. I'm a good-hearted and easygoing person excited to spend my free time with some lovable pooches! Chico is an 11-year-old rescue, who loves ice cream and burying himself in blankets. Frankie is a snoozy indoor cat, but loves playing with Chico occasionally. For all of my bookings, I like to provide lots of attention to each pet, and create a comfortable environment for them. I’ve had a ton of fun with the pets I've met so far, and I would love to meet some more furry friends and owners soon! I currently work from home full time in the healthcare industry. I am looking to offer sitting services in my free time, but can likely be flexible with my schedule. Safety for all pets is my biggest priority, whether they are my own or yours. I’m open to any information that would make your pets feel more comfortable, and would love to answer any questions during a meet and greet before a service.
About: Feeding, entertaining, and walking pets. Friends and family have trusted me in caring for their pets like my own when needed. I have had pets of all kinds growing up and have a passion for caring for dogs, cats and small animals such as guinea pigs. I currently work full time Monday through Thursday in the human services field as a case manager. My schedule is flexible and I am available every weekend. I currently have two cats who are my best friends. I have grown up around dogs and have dog sat for many years for friends and family. Walking and pop ins are the best part of my day.
About: I have been around animals my whole life. I believe its important to treat them well and with respect. I know how important it is for pets to be cared for while we're away Im available most mornings and evenings. I am currently available during the day as well. I take my own dog for walks every morning and evening as well. I can come and provide the animals food, fresh water and play with them if they are in the mood for that. In the case of dogs I'm happy to let them outside or go on a walk with them. I can play with them and make sure they are exercised.
About: I have owned and cared for many pets as well as working for the forest park zoo tending to animals and socializing with them, as well as working as a dog groomer and a dog kennel attendant. I am very passionate and serious about pet care, our fluffy friends deserve the best. I have plenty of experience with elderly and special needs animals, as well as experience administering medication. As someone who owns many animals of my own, a dog, a cat, a multitude of small animals and reptiles, my entire life consists of caring for animals. It’s my main passion. I am available for bookings all day Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and available for mornings every other day of the week! I am a trustworthy person able to remember the schedule of your pets and any extra care they may need. Due to working in grooming for so long, I am excellent in time management and understanding the body language of dogs. I love to take my own dogs outside and play with them with a ball or a toy to help them get enrichment. I am also incredibly interested in training and find respect and boundaries to be very important when forming a relationship with an animal.

“Sandra is great! Lottie clearly remembers her and is so excited to see her which says it all. She communicates well, loves dogs and has a nice fenced in yard. We will keep coming back for sure!”
“Tricia was amazing and I cannot thank her enough! We left our dog Evie with her for 4 days and she had a blast! She sent pictures and videos throughout our time away and it definitely helped ease the pain of missing our girl! When we picked her up, she was happy, excited and very well cared for and you could tell she had the best time. Tricia is the best and I will absolutely be leaving my girl with her any time we go away from now on.”
“I highly recommend this sitter! They were incredibly responsive, transparent, and communicative from the start, which gave me immediate comfort and trust. It was obvious how much they genuinely cared for Tahoe, and I knew he was in great hands. Their home was clean, safe, and welcoming, and the updates throughout his stay were greatly appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again!”
“Summer was lovely to communicate with and sent a lot of photos of Raven, which I loved ! Raven was super pooped when I picked her up so I know she had a lot of exercise too.”
“Cannot thank them enough. It was my first time using Rover and on a short notice request- no problem. I got pictures of Alfie playing and cuddling throughout his stay which set me at ease. He also came back smelling nicer and was freshly brushed, he was so happy! I 100% recommend Heather and Norman”
“Patti ( and her family) are the best! It was my first time leaving my pup and it was a 12 day honeymoon. I was nervous but she sent pictures and updates every couple days and I’m pretty sure my little guy was actually sad to leave. I would recommend her to EVERYONE!”
“Monica took care of our 12 years old golden retriever. Unfortunately our dog had a seizure during the stay and Monica did great. She called me right away and because she couldn’t reach me she called our vet right away to receive instructions. Thank you so much Monica for taking care of Nara at least for a few hours.”
“Lindsey was great. She handled changes in scheduling. She kept our dog and another visitor separate when they weren’t getting on that well, but shifted gears when another visitor was a better fit, demonstrating flexibility and good decision-making. Our dog enjoyed her yard and her family’s company. We appreciated that he was in good hands. We’ll definitely have him stay there again.”
“Austin has excellent communication, very flexible with scheduling. Immediately setup a time prior to the appointment to have a meet and greet. Walter had an absolute fabulous time with Austin! Kept us up to date with how things were going, with videos, pictures, and messaging. Highly recommended Austin! 10/10 will book again!”
“I booked Rachel last minute fully expecting for her to not respond or say she was available and she responded within minutes for my last second request. She and her family took excellent care of Hank and sent me several pictures and updates through out. 10/10. Very happy to have found someone trust worthy i can leave my dog with and have no worries without feeling like i am burdening friends or family.”
“Morgan was super helpful when I needed a sitter on my road trip! She was so good with Molly and helped out extra since Molly wasn’t feeling the best on my trip and eating irregularly”
“Reichel was absolutely amazing! She was absolutely amazing with Frank! From the start, they were communicative, punctual, and so kind. I really appreciated the photo updates and detailed check-ins—it gave me total peace of mind knowing my pup was happy and cared for. Frank came back relaxed and clearly well-loved and we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“My dog had a wonderful day with Manolita!! She’s so kind and caring and made us both feel comfortable! When I picked him up from his stay he was very comfortable and calm, which was a great sign! She also sent pictures and updates throughout the day, which I loved! I highly recommend her!”
“Allison is the best! I felt so comfortable leaving Stella with her and I know she had a blast! She even gave her a bath before sending her home, so amazing! Will definitely be using Allison for future travels!”
“Jan and Russ were AMAZING with my pup! They made sure to keep me updated while I was away on an extended weekend and it’s the first time I left Bowden for such a long amount of time. They really made me feel comfortable about my decision to board him for my trip! I will absolutely be using them in the future! Thank you both so much!!!”
“Lissette was wonderful and took great care of our dog Piper. We left piper with her for three days and everything went smoothly. We got photos and updates. Her daughter played with piper which was great. Would definitely bring our dog back!”
