About: Love many different types of animals and have pet sat for many people in my family over the years. From my experience every dog has liked me. I have minimal knowledge in training dogs. And can adapt my environment to fit the personality of the dog. Im currently in college, so Mondays-Thursdays are busy for me but I am almost always available Friday-Sundays. On the warmer days I like to go for a walk around the neighborhood and back. I have a fare sized fenced yard. A 8-year-old yorkie, he is very sweet and friendly with other dogs, not much of a barker. Two other reptiles locked in their tanks, the will never be a concern with them they are very small.

“I have been using for a couple of times now. She is 💯 reliable and I can always count on her to giving loving far to my cat Rin. I wanted a sitter that can give lots of cuddles and love in addition to providing care ( cleaning litter, water etc). She is the person.”

“Stephanie was amazing! Very professional, communicated well, and was overall very attentive with our boys. Our AC went out halfway through the week, and she helped us troubleshoot the problem from 3 states away. She also made sure to check on the cats and make sure the house wasn’t too hot without the AC. Overall, we had a great experience and we plan to book with her again for our next trips as well!!”
About: I’ve had many cats through all phases of my life, and they’re my favorite animal! My kitties are all old so I administer medicine daily, and keep them active everyday to help their bones and joints. Also a huge fan of kittens!
About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs as well as walking and helping care for my neighbors’ dogs. Through this, I’ve learned how to safely walk dogs, follow feeding routines, give lots of attention, and recognize when a dog may need a break or extra care. I’m comfortable with different personalities and understand how important patience and consistency are for pets. I’m available after school on weekdays and I have more flexible availability on weekends. I’m reliable, punctual, and always communicate clearly about scheduling and updates. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow instructions carefully, keep pets on leash during walks, and make sure they’re always in a safe, calm environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and respect owners’ routines, rules, and preferences.
“Mariah did a great job keeping out fur babies happy while we were away for 2 weeks. She was on time and sent photos during each visit. On her last visit, she took extra time to clean and moved trash outside. We’d definitely invite her back.”
“This is my first experience going away for vacation and using Rover. I had to find the BEST reviews in order to be okay with leaving my fur baby. Pamela had a million repeat clients and seemed to be so genuine and loving with animals (according to the reviews). So I crossed my fingers and scheduled our “meet and greet”. Pamela felt like one of the family, instantly! She wanted to know everything that my cat liked and didn’t like. She watched how we interacted with my cat and immediately had her purring and playing! My vacation was so RELAXING thanks to Pamela. She followed the notes I left her and went above and beyond with pictures and videos?. Needless to say, I’ve already booked another check-in with Pamela!”
About: I’m a mental health therapist and lifelong animal lover, so I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your pets. I grew up around animals—my mom ran her own professional pet sitting business, and I learned from her experience with the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—cats, dogs, reptiles, rodents, and more—and have been trusted with their care since I was a teen. I’m comfortable and experienced with medicating pets when needed, always following your instructions carefully. As a pet parent myself, with my cat Luna at home, I know how much your pets mean. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and sizes—young or old, big or small—and treat every pet like part of my family. Because when your pet is happy, you are happy!
“We were so lucky to have Melissa take care of our pups while we were away! She was wonderful about sending photos and detailed updates. She gave them such great attention during her drop in visits, you could tell they were so happy to see her. We would definitely recommend using Mellisa to care for your pets!”
“Thank you for taking care of Birdie. I was so excited she greeted you and you were able to visit during your drop in. I wasn’t sure what to expect as we never left her before…thank you for taking great care of her. It’s much appreciated.”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life! I got my first cat when I was 10, and had him for 19 years! Then when I moved out on my own I had two cats till they were about 16 years old. But I’ve also taken care of my sisters cats when she’s away or just can’t home in time to feed or play with them. I also will feed your cat, brush them, play with them and clean their litter box!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Emmorton

“my pup was so excited to see paris again! as soon as we turned down her street for drop off, his tail had already started wagging. i know he’s in great hands when he’s with paris!”

About: I have dog sat, dog walked, and cared for animals since I was in my teens! I have owned small dogs and big dogs and understand their different personalities and needs. I took animal science in school and foster so I am comfortable with different meds and cares. I currently have a flexible schedule as a home nurse who travels intermittently through the day! My schedule varies which makes it flexible. I also am free most weekends and evenings! My animals are well loved and cared for in their home. They are always made to feel safe and comfortable. I know how to respect boundaries and follow rules. I aim to please and only want the best for your furry children.
“Our Pup had a great time at Shanon's. He enjoyed the company of her older dogs. Her backyard is fenced, huge, and safe. Very good at communication, and we received updates with pictures. Shanon listened to us on our specific instructions and followed them. She always responded timely to our texts. Fed the pup on time and also arranged a cozy bed for him. We recommend her and would definitely book again when in the area.”
About: What sets me apart is my six years of experience caring for my rescue dog, who is sensitive and shy. This has taught me patience, gentle handling, and how to create a calm environment tailored to each dog’s unique needs. I’m especially good at working with dogs that require extra reassurance and care. Working part-time from home allows me to keep a flexible routine for the pets I care for. I’m home most of the day, so I can follow their schedule closely — from walks and feeding times to playtime and rest — making sure they always feel safe and loved. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets are always supervised, have access to fresh water, and enjoy a calm, pet-friendly environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times.
“Emma was so sweet with Puddin' - just the kind of energy that makes my nervous standard comfortable. She was also very flexible with me as I needed to drop off Puddin' way later than originally planned.”
“Tyler was great, our dog is 4 months old high energy pup who hasn’t met other dog yet. Tyler was comforted with his dogs being the first. He sent us a video of the dogs play and having a great time. We were nervous leaving him with someone for the first time but after meeting Tyler we were sure he was a perfect choice. We will definitely call on him again.”
“Kathleen was wonderful! She was quick to respond and very flexible. Well equipped with puppy gates and pee pads just in case. My senior was well taken care of. I would highly recommend Kathleen.”
“Tania was very helpful and kind and patient with my fur baby. I really appreciate her. She is a great sitter. I would recommend her to everybody. I am glad I met her. look forward to using her in the future.”
About: Certified Dog Trainer & Professional Pet Spoiler I’ve been caring for animals professionally for over 10 years—basically, I’m the Mary Poppins of pets (minus the umbrella, plus a lot more treats). I work remotely, which means I have plenty of time to shower your furry, feathery, or finned friends with attention while you’re away. I share my life with my own dog, Roux, who would need to join me for overnight house sitting—she’s well-mannered, charming, and believes she’s the CEO of the operation. Specialties include: • Raising & training puppies (basic commands, potty, & crate training) • Senior pet care • Dogs with anxiety • Administering medications • Cat care (yes, even the sassy ones) • Rodent care (mice, guinea pigs, bunnies—you name it) • Basic fish tank maintenance (I’ve never lost a guppy on my watch) I work remotely which gives me some flexibility to care for your pup. I prefer overnight stays at the clients home with the ability to come home to work during the day but may be able to bring my work to you. I care for my clients pets exactly the same as their owner and better! I love them like my own. An in home pet sitter is a great way to keep your pets routine so they are less stressed while you are away.
“Veronika took great care of our 3-month old puppy! He needs more attention and care due to his age and she was able to handle it all. Otto seemed very happy in the pictures and videos that she sent :)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of multiple kinds since I was 12. Mainly family animals but I would watch friends pets as well. I am currently a stay at home mom for the next 4-5 years, so I have more than enough free time on my hands at the moment. I have a huge fenced park right behind my apartments so they are able to play all day as needed. In addition to the park, I have a ton of space in my apartment and a friendly dog of my own who loves to play. I have a variety of dog/cat treats and toys!
“My puppy had the best time with Rachel and her kids. She come home happy and exhausted from playing all day. Thank you for giving her so much attention and sending so many pictures- we will definitely be back!”
“Sarah is great!!! One of our boys is nervous in new places and she say with him and made him feel very comfy. We felt likes the boys were in amazing hands and would recommend her to everyone!!!”
“Cali was amazing with Walter! It was his (and our) first time having an in home daycare provider and Cali could not have been better! Between the pictures and her reassuring nature, we feel so lucky that Walter got to stay with her! Thank you!”

About: I’ve been a proud dog owner for my whole life from Weimaraners, to Dobermans, and now to a Coonhound and two loving Great Pyrenees! I went to a technical highschool and graduated with a vet tech, and left with some experience in grooming! I also worked on a farm for those same four years! Absolutely adore all types of dogs! :] I am a full time student, back at home before moving, and am more then happy/excited to have to opportunity to hang out and walk with your pets! I will take care and watch over your pets as if they were my own. I can use all your products/leashes, and make sure your dog stays safe and happy. If you decide you want to board your pet in my home, while I do have other dogs in the household, the dogs would be sectioned off to a different part of the property unless you explicitly state that you’re okay with them being around each other! Your fur-baby would have full access to a big fenced in back yard, and if they like to swim we have a pool for them to enjoy in the warm weather.
About: Hi, I’m Kelly! I have 3 animals myself, 3 (very needy!) cats. I had a dog who’s recently passed, and I love all animals! I am experienced in old and young pets alike. My cat is 14 and requires daily medication which I have no problem with. Huge fan of the kittens and puppies as well!😊 Any and all pets I am happy to watch. I currently work hybrid, I recently graduated college and I am in a rotational tech program. The days I am hybrid vary, but for the most part I work from home in Bel Air Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. On the weekends I am completely free! Animals in my home won’t be possible because of all my pets, but in your home I am able to watch them! I can drive anywhere from 1 mile to 30 miles to watch your furry friend! Let me know the location and we can figure something out :)
“Jenn is awesome with our dog Roxy. She is truly a dog lover and it shows. She brought her dog to walk with our dog because our dog is a lil skittish, and it worked! Would absolutely highly recommend her. She also was available last minute for us.”

About: I have always had and been surrounded by dogs in my life. I love any breed of dog and enjoy being in company with them.

About: I have taken care of dogs of every size and breed. I love dogs and I am a huge kid at heart when I see them in public. Although I have a large dog, pugs have always had my heart. We have tons of fish at our house as well, in a 50 gallon tank. Aside from dogs, I grew up with Maine coon cats. I am very familiar with this breed as well as the needs for most breeds. I had guinea pigs and geckos when I was a child. I am comfortable around farm animals since my grandparents owned a farm and my cousin is running it now. I’m up for anything so just send me a message if I seem like a good fit :) I am a teacher who is off for the summer! I am available for multiple drop ins and overnights. Drop ins can range from early morning to very late evenings. Weekends are a little easier for overnights because I do have a 16 month old and a husband who works full time during the week. The more notice, the better. I offer services in your home. Whatever your routines and needs are, I am very detailed in my notes and what I can provide. I am trustworthy and dependable, organized and thoughtful.

I highly recommend her services for anyone looking for a caring and friendly sitter.”
