“Another successful boarding experience for our two fur babies. I can't say enough how much confidence I have in Megan and Vince looking after Harper and Elsie!”
“Working with Megan and Jacob was a pleasure! Cooper looked like he was having a wonderful time in all the pictures they sent. Dunkin’ and the other buddies were great companions while he was there, too.”
“We are very pleased with the care Pamela provides for our dog! She really takes great care to make our dog feel comfortable. She has a great fenced yard where our dog can run around and explore. Pamela also keeps us posted on our dog’s activities with daily pictures! We wholeheartedly recommend Pamela!”
“Deanna & Family were wonderful Hosts to our big energetic lab. Their home, yard & location lends itself to be the perfect home away from home for your best fur friend. Communication was on point, pictures & updates were received. Highest of recommendations to Deanna & Family.”
“I am again very pleased with the care Shiloh gets during her stay with Melanie (and her family). Photos and communication is great and allows me to enjoy my time away. If I need a sitter for puppy camp again I will definitely be rebooking with Melanie”
“Gisel and her family took great care of my girl Kola. Kola had a case of severely itchy paws pop up the day before we were set to leave town. I was able to get some meds from the vet before we left. I let Gisel know what was going on with Kola, as she was licking and chewing her paws and they were very red. I kept socks on her paws and gave her Benadryl in between the meds from the vet. Gisel also kept this up for the four days Kola stayed with her family. I was so thankful and appreciative of the extra care Gisel and her family gave Kola. Kola’s itchy paws popped up so last minute and Gisel assured me she would take great care of her and she did just that! I would definitely use Gisel again for Kola!”
“Pat & Bee are absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond any of our expectations. They send frequent updates with photos and videos. They are kind and loving and extremely prepared. We absolutely loved our experience with them and will us them for ANY future boarding needs. Thank you both so much for taking such good care of Ellie!!”
“Our dog Allie reported that she had an outstanding visit with Diane and family. Came home rested, relaxed, totally chill. Diane was a pleasure to deal with, was responsive, caring, informative. I hope we get back there.”
“Briana and Isaiah were amazing with my both Otis. They allowed me, the worried mom, to come and meet their dogs first before the stay started. I was very grateful for that. They took excellent care of him and it was really great to have him stay on a home with a dog loving family instead of a kennel. They also.made sure that I knew that they had his safety in mind at all.times. They were a true God send.”
“Randi and her family were amazing with Coco! Coco loved their dog Penny, and she loved running in the fenced in yard! Coco was so tired when she got home from the weekend from being with a playmate all weekend. Randi sent pictures often and Coco was so well taken care of. I would highly recommend Randi!”
“Would definitely book again! I was given lots of updates on my pup as well as pictures/videos. Paris took great care of my pup and I was even surprised at the end with a painting of my pup.”
“Marwa and Casey took such good care of our pup! Their communication was excellent and we enjoyed getting pictures of him throughout his stay. We are very thankful for their love, patience, and understanding of our pup as he has really bad anxiety. Marwa understood his needs and met them in perfectly. We hope he can stay again in the future!”
“Colleen Alissa and her husband provided Lemmy with excellent care while we were away. Arranged for a meet up with their pup, Bruce, before Lemmy’s stay. Definitely will continue to book with them for as long as they are on this app.”
“Angelene is a wonderful sitter! Her response times are fantastic and she always sends lots of pictures when we are away. She has made it possible for us to do a lot of necessary traveling without worrying about our such schnoodle's care. We appreciate her so much!!!”

“I can’t recommend Emily enough! She took wonderful care of my dogs, making sure they were happy, well-fed, and got plenty of attention and sent daily pictures. What really stood out was how they went above and beyond when there was an unexpected mess—she cleaned it up quickly and thoroughly without hesitation and contacted me with concerns. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my pups (and my home!) were in such capable and caring hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Emily again!”
About: Since 2014, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and pawsonalities — from shy kittens to spicy dogs, plus chickens, bunnies, and even a hermit crab. 🐶🐱🐔🐰🐟 Fostering over 200 pets has made me fluent in body language (pet edition). Whether your pet wants snuggles, space, or serious playtime, I tailor each visit to what makes them happiest. I’m comfortable giving medications* and teaching basic obedience. I also make the experience great for you! I’m a reliable communicator, send plenty of cute pics, and if your pet’s up for it, you’ll come home to a handmade surprise “from your pet.” *If medications are required to be given an additional fee will be negotiated and applied before the booking is confirmed. Pet care fits naturally into my routine — it’s something I genuinely enjoy! I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends, with a flexible schedule that allows me to adapt as needed. I am able to care for about a dozen pets per week and I only book one house-sitting family at a time to ensure each pet gets my full attention. Walks and drop-ins can easily be added into my day, especially Monday through Friday. Pet care is both relaxing and rewarding for me — I love building relationships with the pets I visit, and I think they look forward to our time together just as much as I do! I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, starting by learning their pet’s established routine to ensure they feel comfy and happy. I gather all the important info — like vet contacts, emergency numbers, and where cleaning supplies live (just in case!). I’m a tidy sitter too: I take out the trash and scoop up any yard “presents” to keep things fresh. Most importantly, I listen closely to both owner and pet to discover what makes each furry friend feel safe and loved, then tailor my care to their unique personality.
“Colleen is an exceptional sitter. Her expertise and trustworthiness make her the perfect choice. Knowing our pet and house are well cared for allows us to enjoy our time away knowing everything is in good hands. I will always book Colleen for future trips.”
About: I have handled and cared for a wide variety of pets for over 20 years. My passion, attention to detail, and tender, service-minded approach help me adapt to any pet in any situation. I specialize in handling large dog breeds as well as handling Dog Aggressive Dogs. I am highly flexible and attentive, offering a customized experience for all of my clients and their pets.
“Mason was a phenomenal pet sitter. She was able to fulfill my need for a pet sitter during a holiday weekend, given less than 2 weeks notice. Mason gave prompt reports on my cat and even fed my aquarium fish and watered my indoor plants. She was patient with my feisty indoor cat, responding mindfully to my cat’s communication cues demanding space. I highly recommend Mason! 5/5 stars”
“First time with Rachel & I came home to a happy, relaxed dogs. It’s such a relief to know my dogs were not just looked after, but truly cared for. I’ll definitely be booking with Rachel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter.”
“Danielle was very understanding and flexible! She was willing to take my two rats and bunny and was super flexible with pricing and got it to be something that I could afford. She is very friendly and didn’t mind the unconventional request :) She also let them stay an additional night for free when plans changed.”
“Aria is absolutely wonderful! I could see she was connecting with my cats every visit. Everything was is great order when I got home including food well taken care of and the litter box tidy! I will most certainly ask to use Aria again!!”
“Laura did an excellent job with our 2 cats. Being new to the area, it was great finding someone close by take care of them when we needed to be away for an extended time. She kept us updated with each visit which made being away a bit easier.”
“Stephanie was amazing. She filled in when I messaged her last minute because my original sitter canceled within 24 hours of my departure. She gave thorough updates and made me feel comfortable while missing my babies. They were well cared for in my absence.”

“Beauty and her pack are wonderful! I can’t recommend Beauty enough to any pet owner! Our dog Freya had an amazing time and Beauty was very flexible when our plan changed to a later pick up time. She even offered to let Freya stay the night if that worked better for us. I can’t thank Beauty and the pack enough for giving us peace of mind when we can’t be with Freya!”

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.

We took a little break from watching dogs through rover due to moving homes and having a new born but we are back and excited to watch your pup. Please let me know if you have any special requests!

About: My family has always had pets and I developed a huge love for them very early on! I have always had a huge passion for them and now have been fortunate enough to turn my love for animals into what I get to do for a career!

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.

About: Hi, my names Madi, I am a responsible adult with experience of taking care of dogs. I fostered pit bulls for almost three years, I previously dog sat for multiple families who relied on me for every trip they went on, and I once wanted to be a dog trainer so I learned a bit about dog behaviors and dog breeds. But above all else my love and passion for all the cute dogs in the world, I just want them all to feel loved. I can promise to take care of your fur baby, give them love and attention, and even send you some pictures for updates. I love puppers of all ages, sizes, and breeds and cannot wait to meet you and your companion. I also have my own dog, a small lab mix who is about one years old named Maverick. He is my best friend and my entire world - and maybe just a little spoiled. Currently, I work from home Mondays & Wednesdays, then Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays I am gone for about 9 hours total for work and commute. Saturdays and Sundays vary a lot. If I am dog walking - I like to be sure I know any reactions the dogs may have to certain things (if they eat all the trash, if they chase squirrels, if they jump on people, if they bark at dogs, etc) to create safety for me and the dog. If they stay with me - they MUST be dog friendly and meet my dog in a non-territorial location to be sure they are friendly.

My background in veterinary medicine should give you some peace of mind. I have several clients I have worked with through years and the majority of my pet sitting clients I met through my years in the pet industry not through this app. My love for animals is unmeasurable and your loved ones will be in good hands. I will care for them as I would want my own to be cared for. Mother/caregiver of 2 cats and 1 dog (rescues), 2 lizards and 3 ponds with a variety of aquatic and semi-aquatic life.

About: I own a dog and have taken care of dogs for several years. Neighbors, family, friends, and clients have relied on me to provide comforting and necessary care for their pet(s) when they’re away from home. I’m currently on Summer break from college. I will have open availability until late August. Schedule will be flexible to fit your pet care needs. In client’s homes I provide the necessary care for the pet(s), including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure the pet is safe, happy, and comfortable.
About: I stand out because of my lifelong experience growing up with animals of all kinds, including horses, cats, rabbits, and hamsters. I also worked at a pet hotel, where I cared for puppies and anxious dogs who missed their families, so I understand how to keep pets calm, comfortable, and happy. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with different temperaments and needs. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, giving me even more hands-on experience with a wide range of animals. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily schedule because I’m currently taking a year off before starting grad school. This gives me plenty of time and flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care. I’m available Monday through Sunday, and can accommodate visits throughout the day to fit your pet’s needs. I provide care through in-home visits, as I do not host pets in my own home due to my cat not being comfortable around new animals. In my clients’ homes, I focus on keeping pets in their familiar environment and routine to reduce stress. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, playtime, and any needed exercise. I’m also very attentive to their behavior and comfort, especially for shy or anxious pets, and always make sure they feel safe, calm, and well cared for while you’re away.

Coco was so tired when she got home from the weekend from being with a playmate all weekend. Randi sent pictures often and Coco was so well taken care of. I would highly recommend Randi!”
“Marwa and Casey took such good care of our pup! Their communication was excellent and we enjoyed getting pictures of him throughout his stay. We are very thankful for their love, patience, and understanding of our pup as he has really bad anxiety. Marwa understood his needs and met them in perfectly. We hope he can stay again in the future!”
“Colleen Alissa and her husband provided Lemmy with excellent care while we were away. Arranged for a meet up with their pup, Bruce, before Lemmy’s stay. Definitely will continue to book with them for as long as they are on this app.”
“Allison D was a great care giver for our Cricket. She played with, cuddled and entertained her and told us Cricket was well behaved and welcome to return if we needed care provided again in the future.”
“We first went to Melissa's for a meet and greet. Later I brought my dogs back to her house for a 4 night stay. They were pulling me towards her gate happy to be there. They liked the fenced yard, being able to explore freely. Melissa sent us a picture and short update everyday. I picked up very happy pups on Monday. Highly recommend Melissa.”
“Jessica was extremely accommodating and communicated regularly throughout our stay to make sure we felt comfortable and reassured. Our dog had lots of love and adventure and was tuckered out when we picked him up :)”
