“Annie is great with our 2 older dogs. Daily updates and photos showed us they are being taken care of with love and patience......they settled in nicely and Annie and her husband treat our dogs just as they do their own. We highly recommend Annie!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my 2-month-old puppy, Stella! She treated her like her own—giving her so much love, care, and attention. She sent me updates three times a day (with the sweetest photos and notes), kept me completely at ease while I was away, and even surprised Stella with a new toy. I could tell she genuinely cared for her and went above and beyond. I’m so thankful for the peace of mind she gave me, and I’d trust her with Stella anytime!”
“Alexandra is amazing. This is my second time leaving my dog with her and I will continue to use her because I know how much she cares and loves dogs. My dog gets back to me so happy and tired from playing so much.”
“When I returned, Zeke was his usual tail-wagging self, and it was obvious he’d been cared for like family. The peace of mind I had knowing Zeke was safe and happy is priceless.”
“Natalie is extremely attentive, kind, and helpful! She has excellent communication skills and was always quick to respond! My Zoey girl had a great time staying with her and got lots of love and attention at Natalie’s house. I loved getting daily pictures and knowing she was well taken care of. Definitely book with Natalie, she is the only sitter we will use from now on!”
“Victor's house has a great set up for pet visitors. He sent me many pics every day showing her playing or being taken for a walk. I returned home to a healthy, happy dog.”
“Carolina was a great caretaker of our pups. She was extremely responsive via messaging, welcomed our dogs like they were her own and was very flexible with drop off/pick up. She sent lots of pictures while watching the dogs and had them ready to go for pickup, even going so far as to wash and clean their dog bowls. She also sent each one of them home with a doggy goodie bag. Will definitely be calling her to watch our doggos again in the future!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The sitter I found on Rover was absolutely amazing—truly the best people to watch my dog. From the first message, they were responsive, kind, and clearly experienced.

I’ll definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommend!”

My much loved pup immediately felt Jessica’s great energy, and in no time at all was happily wiggling his tail in approval of the new friend he found. through my the stay, Jessica was always reachable, and I was kept updated on Beamer’s mini holiday :)..will surely book Beamer,s next stay with Jessica.”

“This was our first time leaving our kitties for more than a couple of days and we were very nervous! Natalie was not only kind and easy to work with, but she genuinely seemed to care for our cats! She sent us 15-20 pictures per visit and we loved getting to see her play with and feed our babies! We also missed them so much it was just nice to see their little faces!”
“Brittani did an amazing job caring for our two kittens for over a week! It’s clear she truly knows and loves animals, which made all the difference. There’s no better feeling than being away from your pets and knowing they’re in such trustworthy hands. I highly recommend her 100%!”
“Very happy with Camille's drop in on our kitties. She did everything we asked and more. Our cats felt comfortable enough to come greet her, which says a lot! Really great communication from her too. Will absolutely keep her in mind for future needs!”
About: I have been raised around cats my whole life. My first experience with a cat was while living with my grandpa. He had 2 cats who I adored so much as a kid. I even wrote a story on one of them in elementary school. I’ve had 4 cats since then. I helped rescue my mom’s cat (a stray kitten at the time) when she was found in the hood of her car. Cats are so unique and I will never skip a cat video

“Christine did an amazing job. I met with her kind of short notice and I’m glad she was able to watch my kitties. They were a handful but it was nice knowing they were being taken care of. She was also amazing taking care of other things that I asked regarding the house and odds n ends. Communication was great including pictures. Would definitely use them again.”
About: I've had experience in handling and providing care for cats of all temperaments from my own to working with boarding cats at kennels and the SPCA. I am comfortable adminstering medicine through food or using a pill pusher or pill pockets. Growing up one of my cats had issues with her kidneys and I administered her pills with a pusher as it was the only way to reliability know she received her life saving medicine every morning. I have a young cat of my own who is a bit on the spunky side but I love him reguardless of all the sass! At the SPCA I made sure all our cats in the facility were fed and had a clean kennel. I enjoyed free time providing enrichment through play or for the more shy cats sitting quietly and allowing them to come and go as they pleased.
“If you want peace of mind for your pets while you are away, Holly will give you that!! She is wonderful. We loved getting the daily updates and photos/videos. The kitties were comfortable with Holly. She made them feel loved and well taken care of. She even went out of her way to bring in our house Amazon boxes that were delivered. We love Holly and will be booking with her again each time we are away!!”

I adjust each visit based on age, health, temperament, and your household routines — meeting your dog where they are and supporting what helps them thrive. I’m especially attentive to patterns — what helps a dog feel calm, confident, and engaged. Safety and steady leadership are always my priorities.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, especially when it comes to cats. I grew up in a household that always had multiple cats. I just recently moved from my parents house where we had four, including a rescue I brought back from an overseas deployment. I also have experience caring for senior pets, including my childhood pet, a 14 year old Siamese in her final years, where I provided comfort, medication support, and close monitoring. I’ve fostered multiple litters of kittens, including bottle feeding, scheduled care, and neonatal support (including stimulation for bathroom and feeding routines), so I’m very comfortable with young or high needs animals. I also have hands on experience caring for dogs, including a family chocolate lab that I regularly walked, took on beach trips, transported safely in my vehicle, and maintained consistent feeding and exercise routines for. I’m comfortable managing leash behavior, high energy dogs, and ensuring pets get both physical activity and attention. What sets me apart is my genuine compassion and attentiveness. I treat every pet like my own and take the time to understand their personality, needs, and comfort level. Treating any animal I encounter humanely is my calling. It is humans responsibility to care for them. I’m a substitute teacher, so I’m able to plan my days around the pets I’m caring for. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, and I make sure to stay consistent with each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. I have no pets or children at home. I have a huge backyard that isn’t completely fenced, but property behind it. No smoking or people coming in/out for any reasons.
“Camille is the best with my dog Kuma! She is friendly, communicative, and reliable. I feel so safe with her taling him for walks while I am at work. She gives me peace of mind!”
“Terri had been such a great sitter!! I’ve used her multiple times now because of the great experience with her. The first time I used her she was so responsive to the booking request and was more than understanding of what I needed for my dogs. Every time she walks them I know they’re getting the right attention needed for two high energy dogs. They get to play and relieve some energy during the time Terri watches them! I highly recommend you book with her! She’s great!! Thank you Terri!!”

I am home on the weekends and can go on walks, run or just have a nice relaxing day at home with them. I have over an acre of land that your dog can roam freely on. I will let dogs roam my house when supervised if they’re potty trained and well behaved. If they are not potty trained I do have a room set up for the dogs I care for while I am away at work. They can crated or not crated. At night time they can sleep in a bed or in their crate whichever is preferred. I can provide frequent potty breaks and walks and will make sure to follow your instructions for their care.

About: I have grown up with a black lab who lived until 16, and now have both a 10 year old german shepherd and an almost 5 year old Australian shepherd. In addition to taking care of my dogs my running and walking with them, feeding them, and training them along with my husband, I have also spent time dog sitting for neighbors and friends. They would be gone anywhere from entire weekends to an entire month, and I would go over to their house and care for their dogs by playing and feeding them, as well as letting them out. The goal is to turn this side hustle into my main! I will care for your barking babies on my weekends off, and whenever I am available otherwise during the week days and weekends. Being a traveler and full-time teacher, I understand the need to find a reliable dog sitter and walker that treats our doggos like they are their own. I will love on them when you are away so you do not have to worry! Both of my dogs are inside dogs, but when they want to be outside, I have a big fenced-in back yard! I do live in a neighborhood, but it is an awesome place to walk animals and very safe.

With in-home visits, I will make sure I am doing what is being told. If they need to eat or play, I will do so. With walking, i will make sure it’s in an area you and your pet are comfortable with.
About: I have taken care of dogs and other kinds of pets since I was 14. My family and friends rely on me to come check in, walk, and play with their pets. I am available anytime during the day this summer. I do have a couple vacations already planned but I will communicate if something conflicts with the care you need for your pets! I have a fenced yard and 4 pugs that love to run around! My pets have plenty of toys they love to play with and they get fed twice a day. My cat also has plenty of toys and scratching posts, he also gets fed twice a day.
About: I’ve taken care of small and large dogs. I own an anxious queen who needs lots of special attention, and she’s taught me a lot of dog behavior and signs. I’m a teacher on summer break, so I have all day to spend exercising your pup! I take my own dog on lots of walks, but am mindful of the heat and need for hydration. I pay attention to what the dog is comfortable with and love on them like they’re my own (treats, pets, play, encouraging words, etc.). If they need space, though, I understand.
About: I've grown up caring for multiple breeds of dogs and some cats. I have adopted an older Lab Mix from a kill shelter and he is the sweetest, calm and loving dog. Large dogs are my specialty but I love smaller dogs as well. Caring for them comes natural, on top of giving them plenty of space to run and exercise. I am comfortable giving any dogs medications as I have experience giving my own the same. If there is any specification you'd like for dog boarding, I am more than positive those needs can be met. Walking dogs is an everyday activity I do to keep them mobile and active as well as myself! I just enjoy any type of companionship that comes with caring for dogs! I’m currently working from home which helps allow us to provide full time care for our animals, as well as yours! We’re able to be outside and play anytime throughout the day. We have a large fenced in back yard with lots of room to roam and play outside. With cameras in the front and back yard that helps us keep a close eye on their movement to ensure safety.
About: Have been around pet all my life. I have helped out friends. Taken care of senior dog when relatives gone to the hospital or last minute trips Retired and looking for things to do. I'm open at anytime of the day. I like to take walks a Companion. Looking forward to meeting your fur baby I will follow the directions left for me. I take care when walking your baby. I understand the obstacles out there. Will do all I can to keep everyone safe
About: My experience in pet care is extensive. From helping raise and train my own family dogs as child, to working at different animal facilities, I have experience in many different/difficult situations I may face. While I lived in New York I worked at a high end Doggy Daycare and boarding facility that prided itself in creating a certified "fear free" environment for dogs. In a daycare setting I handled and monitored up to 25 dogs in a safe and ethical way. I learned how to read different dog body language cues and how to handle small to XL size dogs. I took a lot of pride in the environment I created for my playgroups so dogs could enjoy safe, fun interactions with each other. I also worked as a kennel technician at the same facility. I did potty breaks for up to 50 dogs, cleaned kennels to propers standards and provided enrichment and feeding for all of our guests. I have experience in how to handle aggressive or stand offish dogs in a safe and manageable way. I also learned a lot about animal health and helped provide care for special needs guests who may have disabilities due to age or that were on seizure watch. Any issues or concerns I had health wise were immediately brought to my supervisors so it could be brought to the owners attention. I worked at Resorts Boarding and Play in two different times for about a year and a half total. After my time at this facility I worked at the SPCA Serving Erie County as an animal caretaker. It was here I gained more exposure to different temperaments in dogs and cats and how to work with them while also cleaning their kennels so they had a clean safe space to enjoy. I enjoyed helping all these pets in desperate need and watching them come out of their shells and experience joy more and more. It was one of the most rewarding parts of that job! When I moved to North Carolina I spent a few months working at 7 Lakes Kennels as a kennel technician again. I cleaned kennels and helped pair dogs for daycare play. I handled medicine distribution to dogs who needed it, cleaned potty yards and of course, played with many dogs! I again had previous experience in handling some tougher dogs so I was comfortable in helping others with some guests who had behavioral challenges. I also did feedings for the guests under my care for the day and took everyone out for potty walks at allotted times. Although I have only professionally been in the pet care industry for about 3 years I consider most of my life as experience from also doing all pet care for my animals growing up, including pushing pills for my childhood cat who had issues with kidney function. I fed all my childhood pets morning and night. I handled supplements for my goldendoodle who had hip and joint issues later in life. I have tons of techniques to help dogs take medicine in an enticing manner. I also made sure my dogs received 20-30 minutes of intense exercise a day to meet their large dog requirements as goldendoodles. They preferred playing ball but also enjoyed added on walks. I am sincerely passionate about providing top-notch care to pets and have shown that to many previous employers who always enjoyed my attention to detail and efforts to work with the animals regardless of any behavior issues or health concerns they faced. I am stay at home as of now so I have plenty of free time on my hands. I prefer to be at home rather than out so the only time I gone really is to run errands or be at the gym. I enjoy an active lifestyle so I do walk my dogs a bit or allow them to run around outside and play with them. I have a set feeding schedule for them. Breakfast is 8 am and dinner is 5 pm. I have done both of my dogs basic obedience myself as I'm looking to advance in the dog training field. I hope to start schooling soon to get my certifications. I have used different techniques for both of my dogs as they have different temperaments. I strive to understand my dogs thoroughly and work with them rather than force them into overwhelming situations. We always start small and build from there once they show they understand a concept or become more comfortable in a new environment. Both of my dogs are crate trained. I love them very much but I finds crates are a very helpful tool to help teach self control and give them a space they can call their own. I am happy to follow any instructions you may have for me through a text message or written out on paper. If you have any concerns I am happy to communicate with you while you are away! At one boarding facility we would send out pictures every three days of a fun activity we did with the dogs to help ease owners minds. I am more than willing to do something like that for you everyday! I totally understand the worry of being away from your best friends! I do ask if your dog boards with me that they come with their crate/kennel. I find it a bit easier for a dog to decompress in a new environment if they have something that is familiar for them. Blankets that smell like you are a plus. I am more than willing to clean toys and bedding before you come to pick up your buddy again. If you want feeding done at certain times I'm happy to do that as I have a free schedule just taking care of my home. Walks, playtime and interacting with dogs are must to keep spirits up while you are away so I am happy to provide these services as well! Of course attention and love is given regardless to any pet I am watching! I am comfortable adminstering medication according to labels or any supplements/treats you provide your pets! I ALWAYS listen to and watch dogs for body language cues. I find that respecting dogs leads to a much better relationship between caretakers and friends. I have extensive training through "The Dog Gurus" my first employer provided all employees. This taught me different play styles for breeds, how to monitor health through potty habits and what to look for in concerning poop. I learned the warning signs of seizures and how to handle them as well as what to watch for if a dog may have a parasitic infection. I was also taught signs of stress and techniques to help prevent them through providing familiar scents, toys or approach. I am aware of and use certain skills in approaching nervous dogs-become smaller and less threatening by turning your back slightly and not holding direct eye contact. I always allow a dog to approach me by offering my hand from a distance and letting them decide if they want to interact or not. For dogs who were sensitive or reactive about touch around their neck while working I used a "double slip lead" technique so I wouldn't have to get into their personal space while putting a lead on them. It also made it safer to remove a lead by never having to physically touch the dog, rather gently pull one lead attached around the other and they would both safely slip off the dog. Understanding a dogs temperament and triggers is vital for me to work safely and effectively with any dog I encounter or interact with. Please always offer all information on your dog to me during a meet and greet session. I would rather have "too much" information on your dog than feel like I'm scrambling with questions later on while you are away. I enjoy working with all different types of dogs and love learning about their personalities and things they enjoy. I feel confident in my skill level and experience to provide safe, loving, enjoyable care for all your four legged family members.
About: I've had pets my whole life and love them all. I currently have 2 dogs, a cat, 5 chickens, a lizard and a fish. I am a nurse by training and have successfully cared for sick animals at home many times. I have cared for friends dogs for many years and would be happy to love on yours! I am currently not working outside the home so I am available almost anytime. I am happy to meet yours and your pet's needs! I will be happy to follow all directions you give me for caring for your pet. I know how important that is when I leave my own pets with others!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 5 years on and off for family and friends. I love dogs and will do anything needed to make them feel safe and comfortable. Just contact me a week ahead of time let me know what you need and I will work around my clients schedule I’m free most of the time. Pet sitting is my priority. I feed, walk, and groom when needed. I make sure to clean up after any messes our little fur babies make I play with them give them lots of attention
About: My family and I have owned a wide variety of pets…cats, dogs, birds, fish, guinea pigs, turtles, chickens. They complete the family. Just leave the details and I’ll take the best care. My husband used to show and work with dogs in his younger life. So I’m well versed with maintenance and care. I can brush, bath, walk, run, play, feed, and snuggle your pets. We own our own business and make our own schedule so my availability is pretty open. I only have a few after school commitments for kiddos, but nothing that would deter from at least two visits a day. Would love to walk and provide company and play time for your pets. I cannot currently house pets in our own home because we have smaller children and one dog that we rescued.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my 2-month-old puppy, Stella! She treated her like her own—giving her so much love, care, and attention. She sent me updates three times a day (with the sweetest photos and notes), kept me completely at ease while I was away, and even surprised Stella with a new toy. I could tell she genuinely cared for her and went above and beyond. I’m so thankful for the peace of mind she gave me, and I’d trust her with Stella anytime!”
