“Teresa was wonderful. Kind and thoughtful to make sure our Maggie had a good time. Even a new friend in Snickers. Perfect experience. Thank you Teresa. Will reach out again.”
“Highly recommend Evan! We booked him about a week ago for a four-hour sitting job while we went out to a show. He was wonderfully communicative and kept us updated. It gave us great peace of mind, and Rocket was happy and totally content when we picked him up.”
“Always blown away by Katie’s services, and our two dogs always have the BEST time with her! She went above and beyond for this stay, where she had my two dogs during a rough winter storm, and was still able to keep the dogs active and having a blast! We love Katie and cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I have dogs of my own & have taken care of our family dogs while their parents are away as well. We can do any medications if needed. They will have a fun, relaxing time while you’re away! We are home all day and have access to a doggy door/fenced yard to run/potty as well. We have experience with sick, old, puppies, & anyone needing that extra love & attention. We are home full time and have access to play/ take walks during morning/afternoon/evening if you’d like. We have 3 smaller dogs ( 2 French bulldogs/1 miniature pinscher) who are always welcome to new friends to play with. We have a doggy door that exits out to our fenced in yard. We are home all day. Dogs are welcome to hang on our couch or any blanket/doggy bed that they’d choose. We have our own 3 smaller dogs to play with as well (2 french bull dogs/ 1 miniature pincher). We’d feed dogs according to their schedule.
“Brandon did great with Bailey! I could tell she really had fun. Met her bestyyy ZZ and was pretty bummed about going home as soon as we put her in the car😆 won’t stop whining as soon as we got home. Will definitely book brandon again! Real soon.”
“Rachel did an amazing job keeping me informed about Marty throughout the time I was gone and really made me feel comfortable being away from him. I would recommend to anyone looking for a dog-sitter!”
“Bryan gave us incredible peace of mind knowing our aging chihuahuas were in good hands. He provided daily updates and pictures and our pups did great while we were away. I would recommend Bryan to watch your pup while you are away and I would use him again if we needed it. Thanks Bryan!”
“Laronna takes great care of Pixie and sends frequent updates including pictures but the main way I know that Pixie is having a great time is when we park and Pixie pulls me up to the door with such joy in her wag.”
“Katie is amazing ! Super kind , friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. Constant updates with pictures of our pup . Quick to respond to any text or phone call and just all around amazing experience . We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our puppy is being well taken care of . I highly recommend her and will be using her any time I travel .”
“Colleen was so sweet and kind and I knew we were leaving our pups in the best hands! She sent lots of update photos and I could tell they were having a blast there. Would absolutely love to have her watch them in the future!”
“Elisa and her family took the best care of Baxter and I would highly recommend them to watch your puppies. We were nervous as we don't usually leave Baxter but Elisa ( and family & Norman) provided loving care. She sent updates and pictures, which we loved! The sweetest part of Baxter's stay was her sons drew pictures for Baxter! I can positively say, Baxter was a loved puppy! Thank you Elisa, Family, and Norman!”
About: Life is just better with animals and I love having them around! Overall, I have around 15 years of experience caring for pets through helping family, friends, and neighbors with pet sitting, check-ins, walks, feeding, and companionship in general. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is more of a passion and less like work to me. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would give my own. I also understand the stress of trying to find the perfect sitter when you’re going out of town as I, too, have gone through it many times. That’s another reason why I decided to finally get on Rover, so I could be the dependable and loving pet sitter that folks are looking for. I do have extensive experience with both younger pets and seniors (mostly dogs and cats) and of course have a special soft spot for the older fur babies who require a gentleness that I’m very used to giving. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply having someone reliable nearby, I’m happy to provide dependable and loving care you can feel confident about. Our pets have always been treated as part of our family and the second your fur baby is in my care (via a walk, sleepover, or check-in) they will be treated like family too. I work full time but have a wonderfully flexible schedule. Tuesdays and Thursdays I work from home so I get extra time to hang out with fur babies at my house and on the weekends I am also available! On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I get home from work between 4pm-5pm but can always leave earlier if need be. I love going on walks in the morning and at night (and during lunch time if I’m working from home) so if I had a pup with me and they like walks too, I’d love to add a companion to my walks!! I have a fenced in back yard and 1 indoor male cat named Pancake. My cat is very sweet (and neutered) and gets along great with other animals but we can absolutely separate if that would work best. I have no children so it’s just me, the cat, and my wonderful (animal loving) boyfriend of 9 years! We are about as stable as it gets lol. We have a couple empty bedrooms that your pet could stay in or be crated in if you prefer that they have some privacy and alone time (totally up to you but the option is there if they need quiet time). Overall though our home is pretty quiet and loving. No crazy noise - just two people and a cat who have lots of love to give other animals!
“My dogs love to go Desiree’s house. They whine when we are getting close to her house. They get so excited and that makes me happy they are so cared for they can’t wait to get there!”
“Nicole and her family took great care of Josie! Pictures every day of her in their home interacting with her children and pets were reassuring and she came home happy. What more could I ask? I wouldn’t hesitate to book again with this lovely family.”
“We have left our pup, Luna, in Angie's care on two occasions now, and both times have been a wonderful experience. She and her family are very caring, and show lots of love to our dog while we've traveled out of town. She shares photos and updates, and is very quick to respond to messages. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Linda and Dwight are absolutely amazing! Our boys loved overnighting with them. Medicine was administered properly and correctly and updates were plentiful which we were incredibly grateful for. Finding someone you trust to watch your pets is so stressful. I can assure you that if you choose Linda and Dwight, you will be delighted with how happy your pets will be.”

“Katie was wonderful with my kitties! My usually shy cat, was very social with her. She was attentive and diligent, overall. Ruggles and Oliver highly recommend her. Two 🐾🐾's up!”
“Bridget was very reliable, and gave excellent feedback after every visit to my 2 kitties. I have one cat that hides but my other one warmed up quickly and really loved her. Will call on her in the future, for sure!”
“Samantha took great care of my babies & provided photos every day along with updates! My boys and I love knowing we can rely on her when I have to go out of town. We give her 5/5 paws!”
“Rachel provides weekly care for our dog and is always punctual. She provides excellent feedback, responds quickly, and is patient with our nervous dog, giving him the space and understanding he needs.”
“"Ella was amazing! She house-sat for us during an extended trip and took wonderful care of our two cats, plus she went the extra mile to feed our birds. We loved getting her pictures and updates while we were away. We came home to a happy house and well-cared-for pets. I highly recommend Ella!"”
About: As a cat owner myself and lifelong animal lover, I know how difficult it can feel to trust someone you don’t know with your pet. Cats have such unique personalities, routines, and comfort levels, and I understand how important it is to find someone who will truly respect that and care for them the way you would yourself. That understanding is a huge part of why I joined Rover in the first place, because I know the level of care, patience, communication, and attention that I would personally want for my own pets, and I’m committed to providing that same experience for others. I’m especially mindful of creating a calm, low stress environment for cats and paying attention to the small details that you tell me are important. My goal is always to make both pets and owners feel as comfortable and reassured as possible. Our fur babies are so precious and they deserve the best. They can’t speak for themselves or do certain things on their own, especially if they are babies or seniors, and so I hope to be as calming and steady of a presence for them as I can be. ♥️
“Taylor is reliable, trustworthy, and great with animals. She is very professional and thoughtful in her care, and we’d definitely recommend her to anybody looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Growing up I had cats and dogs and was the main caretaker for my families animals. I'm currently working part-time between 2-8 pm so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays. I will keep up to date if I have work or/and a event I have to go to if it interferes with our plans. Prefer not to do my home because my 3 dogs are skittish and can intimidate your pets. For my pets safety and yours, I refuse to offer services at my home.
“Taro was amazing! This was the first time I’ve left my cat at an overnight pet sitter, and I was so nervous. However, within the first hour of dropping her off, I got an update that she started to explore a little more. Now, my cat tends to be nicer towards women since that’s who she’s used to be around, but she really liked testing the waters with Taro! I had updates about how she would rub against him and play with him! He also provided amazing updates every other day with some pictures as well! I really recommend him, especially if this is your first time booking an over night pet sitter!”
“Greta was the best pet sitter. She cared and played with our cat and she also checked the mailbox when we were out. We are so grateful and recommend her to anyone who is seeking a thoughtful person for their pet.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have a puppy and a cat of my own. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a recent college graduate currently in graduate school and a Division I football athlete. Because of football practice, I’m available any day after 11:00 AM, including evenings and weekends. I primarily offer dog walks and drop-in visits, and my athletic background allows me to keep up with dogs of any size or energy level. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, runs, or active playtime, I’m happy to match their pace and make sure they get the exercise and attention they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same respect and care I give my own.
About: Cats have been a part of my life for over 12 years, and caring for them is something I truly love. I have experience with cats in both home and veterinary clinical settings, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of personalities, ages, and needs. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and prefers a quiet approach, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your feline family member is in compassionate, capable hands.

“Was nervous cause of my first time using the app but she sent videos and pictures throughout the day giving updates what they’re doing without asking. Overall a great experience and would highly recommend.”
“Kasey has taken such wonderful care of Xena. She even provides pictures and updates throughout the day, which is so helpful for keeping tabs on how my senior girl is doing and eating. Xena loves playing with Jolene and hanging out in the backyard, and gets to come home stress-free and tired from a good day of lower energy and much safer fun than a big daycare. Thank you, Kasey!”
“Wonderful sitter - Melanie took the time to do a meet and greet ahead of time to make sure the booking was a good fit for everyone. Very attentive and kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the day. My Obi had a great time!”
About: Hi! I’m Alizée, a stay-at-home mom in St. Peters offering loving, personalized in-home dog care in a calm and safe family setting. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home most of the day, which means your dog will receive plenty of attention, companionship, supervised playtime, and regular potty breaks—no long hours alone. At the very maximum and on special occasions, I may be gone a maximum of 2h a day. I share my home with two sweet senior female Chihuahuas, so caring for dogs is already part of my daily life. Their gentle presence helps create a calm, dog-friendly environment, and I’m very attentive to comfort, routines, and each dog’s individual needs. I also bring a healthcare background to my pet care: I worked for 6 years as a nursing assistant and phlebotomist, which means I’m comfortable and experienced with special care needs, including oral medications, injections/shots, and close monitoring for senior or medically sensitive pets. What your dog will enjoy here: 🐾 A safe fenced yard for outdoor play and potty breaks - no chemicals are used in our yard and we remove dog's waste every other day. 🌳 Daily walks and outings near our local park 🏡 A cozy home environment—never a kennel 📸 Daily photo and video updates ❤️ Plenty of affection, supervision, and personalized care I intentionally keep the number of dogs I host to one at the time (or multiple from the same family) so every guest gets the attention they deserve and feels safe and comfortable. I’m happy to care for small to medium dogs, including puppies who aren't fully potty trained yet, adults, and seniors, and I always recommend a meet-and-greet before the first stay to make sure it’s the right fit for everyone. Make sure your puppy is comfortable with other small dogs, and children. I’d love to welcome your pup into our home! Feel free to ask me any questions, I love what I do and I want my clients to know their puppy will be safe and properly cared for at my house. I am a stay at home mom, so I am available all day to care for your fur baby. Rarely away more than 2h at the time, your pup will have all the attention and playtime he needs. Our family wakes up early the morning, before 6.30am so if your puppy sleeps in a kennel, he will be out of it at sunrise. If the weather permits, we go for daily walks at the park and/or in the neighborhood. I adapt my days to your animal. So if your puppy needs more or less walk, more or less yard play, or any specific care, this is not a problem. My clients usually come with their feeding instructions and a feeding schedule for their puppy, and I will be applying all the rules they see fit for their animal. I like to keep your animal on the same routine as at your house to allow less stress on them. I have a fenced yard, two elderly female chihuahuas and a child at home. Dogs are never left unattended in the yard, I am always with them. I can easily crate your puppy if needed and I am familiar with the app FI that some of my clients already use. As a healthcare professional for several years, I am comfortable caring for older or sick animals. I provide daily pictures and videos to ease your stress while you are away. We do not use any chemicals in our yard and a very limited amount inside the house. Most of our space is cleaned using steam water. We also allow our own pets on the furnitures and your pup will receive the same privilege if this is in accordance with your own rules. We practice separate feeding time/station and separate sleeping area from our own dogs. Our house is equipped with cameras, inside and outside, allowing me to always have an eye on our animal if needed. During walks I do not allow contact with other dogs, and we stay on paved trails (no wooden areas or swamps) or neighborhood sidewalks. Unless it is an emergency, I do not take the liberty to transport my client's dog in the car. *exception will be made if you ask me to do so*
About: My experience includes caring for cats and doggies, including pups, with a variety of personalities and energy levels. Super comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining feeding and medication schedules when needed, managing puppy potty breaks and exercise, and providing the same attention (and cuddles) for kitties. I prioritize safety, consistency, and positive interactions to ensure pets feel well cared for! I currently work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so there are no restraints due to my work. This allows me to do drop ins when needed as well as at home care/boarding attentively. My partner also can offer a second set of eyes in the afternoons and evenings! As part of our normal routine to stay active, my partner and I regularly like to step out for sun and take brief walks around the community area—so unless specified otherwise, we are happy to take your doggo along with us on our short walks (during boarding services). I have a two bedroom apartment where pets can roam and hang out in the common living space and guest room, as needed. Pets will not be allowed in my primary bedroom.
About: My dogs are like my children, and I treat other peoples' dogs the same way. I have had dogs growing up and currently have two. Two of our seniors have recently crossed over the rainbow bridge and we miss them dearly. In addition to clients through Rover, I have done dog-sitting for friends and neighbors with great success. I make sure dogs in my care have plenty of companionship and exercise. I believe in rewarding dogs for good behavior rather than punishing them for doing something wrong. I do work full time as a teacher but can am home in summers, and my husband works from home most days. For boarding, we have a dog door and a fenced in yard, so your pet can roam freely if you choose. We would just need to make sure our dogs all get along! I adore dogs and will shower yours with attention. Dogs in my care get very spoiled with lots of love! I’m a teacher, so I have more time in the summer but do have evening and weekend availability during the school year. If you choose to board, your pet will have 24/7 access to the yard through our dog door! My husband works from home most days with the exception of Wednesdays, so there is almost always someone home with your pet unless we are gone for activities with our kids. I have a fenced in yard, a dog door, and a friendly dog. If your dog is used to having free reign of the house when you’re gone, that will be the case at our house as well, and they will have access to the yard through the dog door. The door does have the ability to lock if escaping the yard is a concern. If your dog doesn’t learn the dog door, we will ensure they are able to get outside plenty. We will also respect any requests to crate during the day or at night.
“Our first time using Rover. Meet and greet was very nice and felt like we just made some new friends. I think Charlie was treated like a king. Will definitely be our go to when we need a sitter. 🙂”
“Kristin is such a friendly and accommodating host. She was able to take care of Lola on short notice after we had to temporarily change care. She cares for all the dogs and Lola always came back happy after her stays and play.”
About: I had a dog growing up (Hershey) and helped take care of him. And I have always enjoyed playing with friends' and family's dogs. I absolutely love walking and being outside and would love canine companions to encourage me to do it more! I've hosted one friend's dog at my place already (see pics; that's Georgia sleeping on her little doggy mat in my living room). Overall, lifelong love of dogs + good head on my shoulders = strong instinct for what they need and when. I work from home, and other than a few set calls, I set my own schedule. And I work from a treadmill desk — so when I say I love walking, I mean it! I take frequent breaks to get sunshine and exercise outdoors, so you can expect your dog to get the same! I can keep an eye on your dogs the entire time I have them! I have a fenced-in, upstairs deck (with a staircase that can be easily blocked). And a backyard that is NOT fenced, but where I could tie a leash around one of the deck supports, so your dog can be outdoors as much as they want! Inside, I have a fully hard, vinyl floor upstairs and a carpeted area downstairs, with vinyl flooring in the downstairs kitchen as well. So whichever surface your dog likes to sit on, I can accommodate!
“Stephanie was great! She took great care of Sadie for the two days she stayed at her house. She has a nice large and fenced in yard where Sadie could run and play with her dog. She took her on walks and sent me pictures and videos of Sadie’s stay. I plan on going back to her again.”
“Francie was fantastic, plenty of playtime and outside time for my little Gía with other small pups. She was flexible with pickup times and took great care of my little girl. Will definitely use her services again. Thanks, Francie!”
About: I have taken care of dogs of my own for 15 years and enjoy having other pets around to play with. Speaking from experience it’s nice to have someone you can trust to take care of your pets when you have other responsibilities. I currently work from home several days a week so am available most days. My dogs typically are in and out as much as they want. I have a fenced yard that’s larger so there is plenty of room for outside play time. I’m also available to come to your house to spend time with your pets.
“Desiree is incredible! I am a nurse, and she was open to my crazy schedule. I have a puppy and I was looking for someone to help socialize her to everything, including other dogs and kids! She did many activities with my dog and sent pictures throughout the day. The second day she watched Fiona, my pup ran as fast as she could from the car into her arms! My little Pomeranian doesn’t trust just anyone, I’m hoping she will be available to watch her every week!”
“I highly recommend Evan and his partner as a pet sitter! They took wonderful care of my two dogs for a couple of days and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. They were friendly, responsible, and flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. My dogs came home happy and well cared for, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you for taking such great care of my pups!”
About: I have had dogs in my life since I was 3 years old. I have been taking care of my pets since then. I have house sat for family members. I have taken care of puppies and senior dogs before. I currently work full time from home so I am home daily. I am able to let the dogs out and give them attention all day long. I have a fenced in yard that our dog roams and sits outside often. I give our dog multiple bathroom breaks, play with her and give her lots of love during the day.
“Lara took great care of Margot for us!! She made sure to send lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. Margot came home happy and tired which we love! Thank you Lara, I’m sure we will be back!”

About: Hi my name is Corin a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver! Ive been around pets my whole life but at age seven I did 4-H (raising goats and pigs) and has grown to include years of experience with everything from dogs and cats to chickens, ducks, and turtles. I’m a dedicated, patient, and detail-oriented caregiver who currently shares a home with my own dog and cat. I understand that your pets are family, and I’m committed to providing them with the same love, safety, and attention I give my own.😊 I currently work from home and for me there’s no better way to recharge than by spending time with animals. When I’m not at my desk I’m thrilled to be out and about giving your pets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. When caring for your pets my priority is maintaining their routine to minimize stress. I respect your space and your pet’s boundaries, ensuring they have plenty of interaction, playtime, and fresh water!
“Kayla took Luna on a lovely walk while I was gone for the day! Luna loved her walk and was definitely tired for the rest of the day. Kayla was very communicative and even arrived early after checking it was okay to do so!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love, care, and patience with every dog I look after. I focus on building trust with each pup, ensuring they feel comfortable and relaxed in a familiar routine. Whether it’s providing extra attention to senior dogs or simply offering a calm and nurturing presence, I take the time to cater to each dog’s individual personality and needs. Your dog will feel like they’re in the best hands, with plenty of love and patience every step of the way! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I prioritize flexibility and planning. With a short 10-minute commute and my work hours from 8 AM to 4:30 PM, I’m able to offer midday walks, quick play sessions, and personal check-ins during lunch breaks or right after work. I make sure to adjust my schedule to ensure your pet gets plenty of attention, whether it’s in the mornings, evenings, or weekends. My routine allows me to stay consistent with care, while giving your pet the love, attention, and exercise they need every day! In my home, pets enjoy a safe, comfortable space with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and a consistent routine. I provide individual attention to each pet, ensuring they feel relaxed and cared for. In your home, I maintain your pet’s regular schedule, offer companionship, and provide daily updates. Whether at my place or yours, I prioritize your pet’s comfort, security, and happiness, treating them like family.
“Bridget M. spent four one-hour visits with Ginger providing love and walks. I appreciated her detailed descriptions of each visit, and the many photos she provided. I highly recommend Bridget to anyone who has a pet that needs love, patience and exercise.”
“Thank you for walking Ted ! I appreciate your swift responses, the meet and greet and flexibility, and being prompt. Thanks for taking him out in the snow/cold! We really appreciate it! Highly recommend Holli!”
About: I've had dogs growing up, currently have 2 dogs back home and my roommate has a cat here in my dorm. I love both and have walked my older dog since I was a little kid. I am a full time student but am always looking for things to do between, before or after classes. I'd be sure to be avaliable weekends and any days I don't have class. I can always go visit to take care of your animal(s), while I cannot offer assistance in my residence, I will always help out by walking or making frequent visits.
About: I’ve lived in a home with three or more pets for my entire life, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior companions, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. I also worked at a 24-hour emergency animal hospital for over a year, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals in a fast-paced clinical setting. I’m currently in school to become a credentialed veterinary technician, which has expanded my knowledge of animal health, behavior, and compassionate patient care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities while they’re in my care. I am currently in-between jobs, but actively in school through Penn foster so I have a relatively open a flexible schedule with proper notification ahead of time! I currently take lewie on walks fo outdoor enrichment ant local parks or we play fetch in the house! We do monitored potty breaks in the back yard. Sadly I will not be able to bring your pet to my home as I have a very reserved shy little guy here who isn’t too kind to others and doesn’t adjust well, but I will be glad to care for your fur baby at your home!

“Highly recommend Evan! We booked him about a week ago for a four-hour sitting job while we went out to a show. He was wonderfully communicative and kept us updated. It gave us great peace of mind, and Rocket was happy and totally content when we picked him up.”
“Always blown away by Katie’s services, and our two dogs always have the BEST time with her! She went above and beyond for this stay, where she had my two dogs during a rough winter storm, and was still able to keep the dogs active and having a blast! We love Katie and cannot recommend her enough!”
“Brandon did great with Bailey! I could tell she really had fun. Met her bestyyy ZZ and was pretty bummed about going home as soon as we put her in the car😆 won’t stop whining as soon as we got home. Will definitely book brandon again! Real soon.”

We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our puppy is being well taken care of . I highly recommend her and will be using her any time I travel .”
About: Life is just better with animals and I love having them around! Overall, I have around 15 years of experience caring for pets through helping family, friends, and neighbors with pet sitting, check-ins, walks, feeding, and companionship in general. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is more of a passion and less like work to me. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would give my own. I also understand the stress of trying to find the perfect sitter when you’re going out of town as I, too, have gone through it many times. That’s another reason why I decided to finally get on Rover, so I could be the dependable and loving pet sitter that folks are looking for. I do have extensive experience with both younger pets and seniors (mostly dogs and cats) and of course have a special soft spot for the older fur babies who require a gentleness that I’m very used to giving. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply having someone reliable nearby, I’m happy to provide dependable and loving care you can feel confident about. Our pets have always been treated as part of our family and the second your fur baby is in my care (via a walk, sleepover, or check-in) they will be treated like family too. I work full time but have a wonderfully flexible schedule. Tuesdays and Thursdays I work from home so I get extra time to hang out with fur babies at my house and on the weekends I am also available! On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I get home from work between 4pm-5pm but can always leave earlier if need be. I love going on walks in the morning and at night (and during lunch time if I’m working from home) so if I had a pup with me and they like walks too, I’d love to add a companion to my walks!! I have a fenced in back yard and 1 indoor male cat named Pancake. My cat is very sweet (and neutered) and gets along great with other animals but we can absolutely separate if that would work best. I have no children so it’s just me, the cat, and my wonderful (animal loving) boyfriend of 9 years! We are about as stable as it gets lol. We have a couple empty bedrooms that your pet could stay in or be crated in if you prefer that they have some privacy and alone time (totally up to you but the option is there if they need quiet time). Overall though our home is pretty quiet and loving. No crazy noise - just two people and a cat who have lots of love to give other animals!
“My dogs love to go Desiree’s house. They whine when we are getting close to her house. They get so excited and that makes me happy they are so cared for they can’t wait to get there!”
“Nicole and her family took great care of Josie! Pictures every day of her in their home interacting with her children and pets were reassuring and she came home happy. What more could I ask? I wouldn’t hesitate to book again with this lovely family.”
“We have left our pup, Luna, in Angie's care on two occasions now, and both times have been a wonderful experience. She and her family are very caring, and show lots of love to our dog while we've traveled out of town. She shares photos and updates, and is very quick to respond to messages. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Linda and Dwight are absolutely amazing! Our boys loved overnighting with them. Medicine was administered properly and correctly and updates were plentiful which we were incredibly grateful for. Finding someone you trust to watch your pets is so stressful. I can assure you that if you choose Linda and Dwight, you will be delighted with how happy your pets will be.”
About: My experience includes caring for cats and doggies, including pups, with a variety of personalities and energy levels. Super comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining feeding and medication schedules when needed, managing puppy potty breaks and exercise, and providing the same attention (and cuddles) for kitties. I prioritize safety, consistency, and positive interactions to ensure pets feel well cared for! I currently work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so there are no restraints due to my work. This allows me to do drop ins when needed as well as at home care/boarding attentively. My partner also can offer a second set of eyes in the afternoons and evenings! As part of our normal routine to stay active, my partner and I regularly like to step out for sun and take brief walks around the community area—so unless specified otherwise, we are happy to take your doggo along with us on our short walks (during boarding services). I have a two bedroom apartment where pets can roam and hang out in the common living space and guest room, as needed. Pets will not be allowed in my primary bedroom.
“I highly recommend Sonya and her family for pet sitting! I recently left my dog, Macario, with them while I was away camping for several days, and they took excellent care of him. It was clear from the updates and photos that he was comfortable, well-loved, and treated like part of the family. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great stay. They were easy to communicate with, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure both Macario and I felt comfortable throughout the experience. As a dog mom, having peace of mind while you're away is priceless, and that's exactly what they provided. I'll definitely be using them again in the future. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Macario!”
“It was my first time dropping Benji off at someone else’s home and Stacy made me feel comfortable with doing so, she sent multiple pictures a day! Benji loved playing with the other dogs and Stacy’s big backyard! Benji will definitely be back to play!”
“Fergie was great, very communicative and sent photos. She takes her dog on two walks a day, so I’m sure my dog was excited to join. Her dog is energetic but it didn’t see too much for my older dog to handle. I would definitely book her again.”
“Brianna and her family were so awesome with our dog, Emmy. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Emmy had lots of play time, pets, and snuggles. She even came home with her own bag of home made doggie treats! I will book Brianna for future stays.”
“Raina was great with our dog. We are so glad we chose her. Our dog loved staying with her. Great service, great communication. Raina sent lots of pictures and videos so we could see how happy our dog was)))). . Highly recommend to other dog owners. We will definitely come back!!!!”
