“Hannah and Patrick took great care of my lab Junior. He is very high energy and they have a great back yard to accommodate his level of activity. A plus is they had other dogs coming for doggie daycare and Junior is very social. We will be using Hannah and Patrick on a regular basis for doggie daycare and whenever we are out of town for boarding! I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to rest assured their fur babies are in good hands!”
“Laura was absolutely amazing with our pup! 🐾 She sent us daily pictures and videos and always replied to our messages quickly, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, she truly loved on our fur baby as if he were her own. We felt completely comfortable knowing Laura was caring for him and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter.”
“Apollo had a great stay with Chantel. She made sure my fur baby was comfortable and cared for. Chantel sent pictures, updates and just spoiled him! Thanks much! Will use Chantel again.”
“A wonderful sitter! Kimberley did an excellent job keeping Yasuke. When we got home Yasuke was completely exhausted so I know she had a fantastic time with Kimberley! I would definitely recommend to others!”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of my dog! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such kind and attentive hands. I really appreciate the time, patience, and love you showed!!! I will be rebooking! Thanks again😊😊😊💕”
“Joanne is the best dog sitter we have had! Our dog has stayed with Joanne twice and we plan on using her again in the future. She is a wonderful communicator and sends us so many pictures during our dog's stay. We confidently feel like our dog is being taken care of under Joanne's watch and we find her to be very knowledgeable when it comes to all things canine!”
“Michelle takes great care of my dogs each time they stay with her. She is dependable. She replies to messages quickly and provides updates on my dogs' stay which includes photos. Thank you for always taking such great care of my dogs!!”
“Leonardo and Oriana were great with our dog. We got daily pictures and updates. Very responsive and accommodating. I will definitely recommend them and will ve using their service again in the future.”
“Mitzy was such a great dog sitter. My dog has not been away from us for a long time. She took the time to make sure Max was welcome and comfortable. I will take my Max back there again.”
“Gregorio was wonderful with our mixed German shepherd Evie. He took a great care of her making her comfortable and keeping her clean and safe. We had a great experience leaving her with him. He is a great sitter and we would used his service again if we need to. 10/10! Thank you Gregorio”
About: I work fully from home, which allows me to offer a highly attentive and flexible level of care throughout the day. Dogs in my care receive consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. I also have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and my neighborhood has sidewalks that are ideal for daily walks. I currently have two dogs of my own: Neo, a Lab mix, and Luna, a Golden Retriever. Caring for them daily gives me strong hands-on experience with different temperaments, routines, and energy levels, and I’m very comfortable adjusting care based on each dog’s personality and needs. I also foster dogs, including dogs with medical needs and behavioral challenges. This has given me experience administering medication, managing behaviors, recognizing stress signals, and reinforcing basic training techniques when needed. I am comfortable caring for dogs that require extra patience, structure, or individualized attention. Because I truly love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I treat every dog in my care with the same attention and responsibility I give my own. I intentionally provide quality, attentive care and only take bookings I can fully commit to, so each dog receives the attention they deserve. I work from home full time, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. Because I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and as many potty breaks as needed. I can easily incorporate walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication if needed, and rest time into the day while making sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. Safety is very important to me. I have a fully fenced yard with a 6-foot fence, which provides a secure space for dogs to spend time outside safely. Because I work from home full time, dogs in my care receive full attention, close supervision, and are never left alone for long periods. I make sure each dog feels comfortable, secure, and cared for while following their routine and any specific instructions provided by their owner.
“Tracy made drop-off and pick-up super easy for our Golden Retrieiver Rosie She kept her cool during the hot July days and comfortable when she got nervous about fireworks. She kept us updated with pics throughout the week. Would highly recommend!”
“For the weekend of March 20-22, we had such a good experience with Carlita watching our Lewey. You always feel a little nervous leaving your dog with someone for the first time, but she took good care of him. We so appreciated the regular updates of how he was doing. She kept us posted on his eating, playing and potty breaks so that we would know how he was doing and adjusting to a new environment. She took him on regular walks, ensured that he had playtime, and it was a plus that he had two other pups to play with. Carlita is professional, friendly and warm, and we would definitely recommend her. Thank you, Carlita, for taking time with Lewey while we were away.”
“Leaving our first-born fur baby with someone else for the first time was a big deal for us, but Pam made the entire experience so easy and reassuring. From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely cares for the dogs in her care. Throughout our girl’s stay, Pam kept us updated and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and loved. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our sweet girl was being treated like part of the family rather than just being boarded. When we picked her up, she was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. That meant the world to us. We are so grateful to Pam for her kindness, attentiveness, and the love she showed our first-born fur baby. We highly recommend Pam to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter. Thank you, Pam, for taking such wonderful care of our girl—we will definitely be back!”
“Dillon is very attentive and thoughtful of your pets needs and personality. He responded quickly and sent plenty of updates and pictures to know how Hildy was doing throughout the weekend. He's got a nice big fenced yard for the dogs to play in and took Hildy for walks with his dogs as well.”
“So happy Onyx stayed with this lovely family. Marissa was warm and inviting. She shared pictures of Onyx with us while he was there. I have no complaints and will definitely use them again! If they are available. ☺️”
“Wow! Susan was amazing with Sadie. I had a couple of appointments out of the area and needed a sitter for the day. Sadie felt very comfortable with her and immediately I got a photo with Sadie being the lap dog princess she is. When we picked her up she was very relaxed and happy. Would definitely recommend. Susan!”
“Kordula was great with our puppy it’s obvious she was well taken care of ! We enjoyed the daily update photos to know our baby girl was in good hands ! Highly recommend !!”
“Kelly and Jacob were great. They took care of my hyper 3month old Lab puppy for the weekend. My dog seemed to feel safe with them as he was cuddling up with the kids on the couch. Kelly was great about sending pictures of my puppy during his stay and made me not have to worry about if he was okay.”

“Rachel is the best! She is always extremely detailed in her post-visit notes and is very patient with our grumpy kitty and occasional tech issues. We also had one of our plants get knocked over and broken while we were gone and she cleaned it up without having to be asked. We will always book her if she is available! Thank you, Rachel!”
“Suzie was AMAZING. Her check-in summaries were very detailed, and she kept me updated on my cat. She very clearly cared for Cleo, which I really appreciate. She even watered my plants. Cleo loved her. Thank you so much!!”
“Leah was fantastic! She made time to do a meet and greet fairly short notice that helped greatly to put us at ease as first time Rover users. You can tell she genuinely cares about pets and went above and beyond spending time with our kitty while we were away! Will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
About: Hello, I’m Jess! I grew up around animals from the time I could walk until now. I’ve had dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters, fish and a horse! I’ve always felt so comfortable and at ease around all kinds of animals and have always tried to help every animal I can (even if my parents didn’t appreciate it haha). I currently moved down to North Carolina with my cat and lived with 4 other cats, 4 dogs, and 6 birds before now. I also rescued a 9week old kitten from a dumpster a couple months ago! I’m really excited to have the chance to care for your fur babies while you’re unavailable! I can ensure they will stick to any schedule they may have, have any necessary medications on time, and are happy and safe before I let them have their “me” time! I’m currently working night shifts, part time, so I’m available during the day for our pets and late at night! I typically have 3 days off per week and am able to work around my work schedule to ensure your pets have the best care possible! I like to come in and figure out what I can do to make the fur babies days a little better! Make sure they have food, water, find some treats and toys for them, and have a field day of play! I always triple check that my home and my clients homes are clean and safe when I leave so we don’t risk accidents happening and so everyone can rest easy! My primary concern is always your pets safety and well-being, as well as my own, so you can rest assured your pets will remain in a safe and happy environment while I’m there!
“High recommend! I have had to leave for 2+ weeks twice due to family issues, and Courtney has been amazing with my cat's idiosyncrasies. Can't thank her enough.”
“This is my first time using River. I needed someone to feed & check-in on my cat Max. I chose Larry M. and I chose correctly. Larry was fantastic! Sent me pictures & updates each day. I feel so much better knowing that if I need to have someone take care of him while I’m gone I’ve found the perfect person. Larry is the one I will chose….did get the opportunity to meet him before I left and even after just meeting him for a few mins I knew Max would be in great hands & he definitely was. You will make the right choice in choosing Larry for your pet sitter & I felt very comfortable with him being in my home. You can tell he loves what he does and takes it very seriously! So happy with my choice!”
“Knowing Serena is here to save the day, I feel confident my kitties are in good hands. She pays so much attention to detail, spends quality time with the fur babies, sends plenty of updates and pictures, and ensures even the most scardiest of cats is comfortable. Thank you Serena!”
“Lura provided excellent care for my rescue cat, who quickly warmed up to her. She was very understanding and adaptable when my travel dates changed, and she kept me consistently informed with numerous photos and detailed updates throughout her visits. Will book again for future trips!”
“Lillie has proven to continue to provide exceptional service. She has been flexible, accommodating, and easy to work with! I feel very comfortable entrusting Lillie with my senior pup (and my home as well).”
“Kaelyn was wonderful. She sent detailed updates and pictures daily. She spent the extra time to locate them and try to coax them out. She followed my crazy list of fur- baby instructions and for once I felt confident they were being looked after. She put my mind at ease. Would definitely rebook with her.”
“This is my third booking with Kiarra in the past couple of months due to lots of summer travel. She provided daily pictures and updates as usual. During this booking, when she was concerned about the auto-feeders not dispensing food, she let me know and adjusted the camera I use to check in on the kitties at various times to the food bowl so that I would be able to verify Smokey's food was getting dispersed at the correct time. She's been great with my cats and I will continue to use her for future bookings.”
“Heather was wonderful at taking care of our two cats!❤️ She was extremely punctual every time, leaving our kitties happy and fed. Moreover she kept our house clean from litter mess and even watered some plants so they don’t die. She provided plenty of pictures and feedback to keep us in a loop of what was going on at home. I will definitely book her service in the future!”
About: I am a dedicated momma to 2 human teenager and 1 fur baby, Oliver. I've cared for multiple pets in our home, checked on neighbor's dogs when they're out of town, and also fostered dogs in need of a safe place to stay. We're a dog family through and through. I'm in between jobs right now so I'm available for walking, drop-ins, boarding, and day care and can take on short notice gigs. I can't wait to love on your fur baby! I have a very open and flexible schedule. I prefer to offer care M-F during the hours of 9:00 am and 9:00 pm, but I'm also flexible if the need arises! I always meet a new dog with gentleness and let them feel me out - smell my hand, don't approach them, give a treat, etc. I always stick to the instructions and routine provided by their family to keep the care as stress-free as possible for the pup. My goal in pet care is to make sure the dogs feel loved and cared for while their owners are away!
“Elissa was fantastic with my two teenage kittens with oodles of energy. She updated me daily and everything went so smoothly. I can't thank her enough for allowing me to relax knowing my pets were being taken care of so well at home.”
“Skipper did an excellent job. I am so thankful he came and took such good care of my cats. The automatic feeder has a gel pack to keep out moisture broke and dispersed into the food. It was the perfect example of why even with an automatic feeder it is important to have someone check on the animals. Skipper provided excellent communication and updates.”

“Hannah & Patrick were great with our pups. We did a meet & greet the week before so our dogs could meet on a nice walk. They have a nice sized yard for the dogs to play outside & took them on lots of walks! They only spent the day with them but they got lots of love, exercise & I got a lot of pics! Can’t wait for Lily& Ellie to visit again”
“Julia took great care of Bowser and cleaned up after his puppy accidents (we are still working on going outside). We already have her booked for some upcoming drop-in visits!”
“Jackie was amazing looking after my dog! She and her family treated my dog like he was part of the family! Jackie was very easy to work with, very professional, and it’s easy to tell she has a passion for animals! I will definitely be using her services again!”
About: I grew up on a farm and took care of a variety of animals. As a young teen I spent my summers volunteering at a Vet Clinic where I fed, walked, and bathed numerous cats and dogs. As I got older, I began to pet sit while family and friends went on vacation. I am currently off for the Summer, so I am home all day to ensure your furry friends are well loved. I am available weekdays and weekends. I have an unfenced yard with several trees lining the back of the property. Your pet will be safely supervised while in the yard, whether on the leash or off. Pets can be crated as needed, but are free to roam the house and lay on the furniture. Our home is their home!

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and currently care for a GSP and German Shepherd of my own.

About: I have always loved dogs. Since, I was a child pet sitting has been one of my favorite things to do to make extra money. I currently work full-time from home. Having a pet to care for will not only help past time but also bring joy while working full-time. I have lots of free space in my home, allowing pets to run freely throughout their stay. It is very homey for both humans and pets. I will ensure your pet is safe & well taken care of.
About: I have over 900 5 Star reviews on the Wag! app for dog walking, boarding and overnight sitting. Joined a local company that I currently work for and have several private clients that prefer to work with me directly. I have pet care insurance independently from the platforms I've used. I leave every home I visit better than I found it. Checking mail, taking out trash, all manner of special touches. I am handy and have changed light bulbs and air conditioning filters at overnights where i felt the client needed help with those things. Dogs naturally love me. I've had clients joke about their dog liking me more than them. I go above and beyond to make sure your pet is safe and happy while in my care. I can leash train or correct "bad" behavior with positivity and patience. I am working on CPR certification and constantly expand my knowledge of breeds and training techniques. I care for pets full-time. Ready to do walks, dropins and overnight sittings. I am pretty full as far as midday walks go, but can adjust in certain cases I currently don't do day care at my home. I do have my own dog that often accompanies me for my visits and pet sitting.
“Maria was wonderful with my little Lexi. Lexi stayed overnight and Maria made sure she was comfortable and so did her husband. She sent me pics and made a video ..I was nervous about leaving Lexi with anyone as this was my first overnight exp.. going away on a cruise and wanted Lexi to spend the night so she knew I would be. coming back. Will be using Maria for my upcoming vacation. Highly recommend her. She is wonderful and very caring .”
“So thankful for Sarai. My husband had an extra shift today and neither of us would have been home for hours to be with our dog, Lewey. She was available to help us out, and we were so grateful. Lewey was excited when he arrived for the day, and he tried to run back inside when I picked him up. He enjoyed his time with Sarai playing and more and sleeps as soon as he comes home. This lets us know that he had fun. Will continue to request her for boarding and doggy daycare. She has such a warm and friendly spirit and we truly feel that Lewey is in good hands when he is at her home.”
“Dawn was wonderful! She was very welcoming, communicative and sweet with my 4 month old puppy. She sent updates and pictures and I knew he was in good hands the moment I dropped him off. I look forward to him visiting again.”
About: I’ve walked and boarded dogs for friends and neighbors for years and have done extensive volunteer work with animals-it’s something I’m truly passionate about. I’ve always considered myself an animal advocate and take pride in making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a senior dog who needs a gentler pace, I tailor each walk to their needs. I’m attentive, patient, and always focused on their well-being. Working part-time from home gives me the flexibility to plan my day around your pet’s needs. I can easily adjust my schedule for walks, playtime, and care. When caring for pets in my home, I follow their regular routine to keep them comfortable and relaxed. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have plenty of fresh water, and get the right amount of exercise and attention. I take time for play, walks, and companionship, always keeping their safety my top priority. I treat every pet with the same respect and care I would want for my own. My home is pet-friendly with plenty of space to play, nap, and explore.
“Today was Rocky's first day there. I know he had a awesome time with Lynn and the dogs. He had full playtime, eat time and relax time. He came home and went to sleep. I'm a happy pet owner.”

About: I have volunteered and worked with animal rescue for over 20 years. I have 10 years professional experience working in cat shelters and I have personally rescued over 30 dogs off the streets and rehabbed them (when living in Puerto Rico). I have experience caring for shy and ill rescue dogs and cats. I also have experience administering medicine and sub q fluids. We are a family of pet lovers and my daughters love having friendly animals to play with. We can take your pup out every 2 hours on leash to our unfenced yard and for walk if they are able. If you would like I can also send you daily updates on your pet. We will treat your pet like a member of the family. For high energy dogs I may need to charge an extra dog walking fee. I will include several walks in the original fee. This is only if I need to walk the dog longer than average. We can discuss this ahead of time. I am a stay at home mom and I have a flexible schedule. We take morning and evening walks plus at least one potty break mid day. Our boarding dogs are part of the family. They share our couch and our beds plus go with us to the playground if they are able.
About: We are a husband/wife with flexible WFH schedules so between the two of us, your precious pups will be well cared for! Mike has always either had a cat or dog as a pet, or lived with someone with a pet. He's always the guy who plays with the dogs at a party! Nicki is an experienced mom to both fur babies and human kids. Sometimes the human kids (ages 11 and 13) help us out as well - they are huge animal lovers! We currently work from home and have an open schedule. We have 2 dogs of our own that are spoiled with us home for so much of the time. Leaving the house to walk is not a problem, as our schedule is pretty flexible. We have a fenced in yard and two dogs that love roaming around. If your dog needs to be crated, that is fine. Just supply the crate when you drop your fur-baby off
About: I've raised our Husky from a puppy and have loved every minute of the past 11 years! I've cared for friends animals and my family enjoys loving on new pup friends! I am a stay at home mom. I homeschool my kids so I am around and available all day to meet the needs of your loved ones! I have 3 dog loving kids and a pup who likes to make new friends! We love to go in our fenced in backyard and play with the dogs. Bring a toy that’s special to your pup or choose one of ours!
About: I have been doing Rover since 2020- I have always been a dog person and a house without a dog doesn't feel the same. I have trained my dog on my own to be off leash, commands and tricks. Marley listens very well and is titled as our family's best dog. I often watch my family, friends and neighbors dogs while away as well as drop ins/walks. I currently working from home, full-time and my job is very flexible so i’m able to work with you and your schedule needs. I have plenty of time to play, walk and give attention to your pet. Our dog Marley would also love the company. I do have a large and medium crate so I can easily crate your dog if needed so you don’t have to bring yours. We have a large unfenced back yard, also a long leash in the back yard for sun bathing, playtime and a large area to go for walks! Personally, my dog will not use the bathroom in the backyard on the leash, only while on a walk so walks are very important in our caretaking! If you send a request it makes our availability for that time not available for other owners needing care, so please let me know if plans change or you no longer need the booking. Thanks!! 😊 I’m working from home and my job is flexible which gives me plenty of time to be able to drop in, take your dog on a nice walk outside or cuddle thru the night. I have lanyards in the back since our large backyard is unfenced, however Marley will be great fur company for a good tug of war or snuggles.

“Jen was excellent! She sent me pictures from the walk and was very communicative throughout the process. She’s very kind and I could tell my puppy loved her. I will be using her services again.”
About: I’ve cared for animals for many years and truly treat every pet like family. I understand how important it is to feel at peace when someone else is caring for your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I offer dependable, attentive care with a calm and nurturing presence. I’m experienced with daily routines, feeding, walks, administering basic medications, and making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pets and gentle with senior animals who need a little extra care and attention. I had my precious doggy (the yellow guy) for over 17 years and held him until his last breath. He was a larger breed and I didn’t expect him to live that long! I also brought my Persian kitty (almost quite literally) back to life after he was badly injured-likely a car accident. He was on a feeding tube for months and I cleaned and dressed his wounds, prepared his liquid food and kept him going when I was 8 years old. He eventually moved out with me to my first house and peacefully passed away on my bed ❤️🩹 As a mom, I bring a natural level of responsibility, awareness, and consistency into everything I do. You can trust that your pets—and your home—are in caring, capable hands. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can feel connected while you’re away 💛 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m intentional about being reliable and consistent. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, whether that’s morning, midday, evening, or nighttime visits. I’m flexible and do my best to accommodate last-minute requests when I’m available. Your pet’s routine and comfort always come first. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, routines, medications, and any special care needs. I’m respectful of your home, keep things clean, and ensure doors, gates, and pets are always secure. I prioritize calm, attentive care so your pet feels safe and at ease while you’re away.
About: I know how truly important it is to find someone who’s reliable, trustworthy and professional when considering pet arrangements, whether that’s just a potty break or multiple days of sitting. I have three dogs of my own at the moment and have 12 years of care experience. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, all personality types and all training levels. I typically have a very flexible schedule to accommodate most hours or need. Weekends, weekdays, holidays. I’m here to make sure this is a low stress experience for everyone. I care for my own dogs with daily walks, daily enrichment in the form of play or training time.. and of course, plenty of affection.
“Courtney is the best! She walks our dog weekly. She is super good about checking in to confirm schedules each week and always thinking ahead. Highly recommend her. Oh, and my dog loves her!”
“Larry is amazing! He quickly established a rapport with my skittish Goldendoodle, and my big dog (96 lbs) is putty in his hands. Larry even put my trash bins away, which is huge considering I'm on crutches. My animals know they can fully trust Larry, and so do I.”
About: I’ve been providing loving pet care and dog walking services since 2010, with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. My background started in childcare as a nanny, where caring for the family’s pets naturally became part of the role. Over the years, that grew into extensive pet care experience including walks, drop-in visits, in-home care, vet visits, administering medications, basic training reinforcement, and grooming support. Caring for animals is more than just a side job for me—it’s something I truly enjoy. I love building trust with both pets and their owners, and I take pride in being dependable, consistent, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship, routine care, or just a reliable person while you’re away, I’m here to help and treat them like family. I had the pleasure of being a stay-at-home mom to my 3 children for the last 12 years. I'm slowly merging back into the working world (part-time for now), but my dream would be to care for pets full-time. Currently, I'm available during the days my children are at school (8:30a.m.- 4p.m.) Monday-Friday. And 2 weekends out of the month, I'm completely available. Please let me know what you're looking for and there's a good chance I can make it happen, even outside these hours. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by adhering to their usual routines, whether that's in my home or yours. I will follow all instructions carefully--feeding schedules, medication needs, potty breaks, walks, etc. In a client's home, I'm very respectful of your space. I keep things clean, stick to agreed-upon areas, and make sure everything is left exactly how I found it. Safety and security for both you and your pet is my priority. I will monitor gates and doors, making sure they are secured as need be. When walking, I stay alert in the environment, monitoring all my surroundings. Your pet(s) will get plenty of TLC, attention, and playtime, taking note of their individual temperament and what it's calling for. Communication is very important to me. I will always send updates and photos so owners feel confident and at ease while they're away.
About: I’ve grown up my entire life with dogs and have taken care of them for as long as I can remember, they are a blessing! I currently intern twice a week, so other than that I a more than happy to help your furry friends! I take care of my dogs when I am home, so it is nothing new! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room as well as a safe neighborhood to bring and walk the dogs in, as this is the priority!
About: I am a dedicated momma to 2 human teenager and 1 fur baby, Oliver. I've cared for multiple pets in our home, checked on neighbor's dogs when they're out of town, and also fostered dogs in need of a safe place to stay. We're a dog family through and through. I'm in between jobs right now so I'm available for walking, drop-ins, boarding, and day care and can take on short notice gigs. I can't wait to love on your fur baby! I have a very open and flexible schedule. I prefer to offer care M-F during the hours of 9:00 am and 9:00 pm, but I'm also flexible if the need arises! I always meet a new dog with gentleness and let them feel me out - smell my hand, don't approach them, give a treat, etc. I always stick to the instructions and routine provided by their family to keep the care as stress-free as possible for the pup. My goal in pet care is to make sure the dogs feel loved and cared for while their owners are away!
About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes and personalities my whole life — from tiny pups to giant gentle giants. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with lots of love, attention, and care. Whether your pup is playful, shy, energetic, or laid-back, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. I’m a full-time teacher who’s home for the summer — which means your pup gets plenty of love, attention, and playtime! During the school year, we are both off on weekends, holidays, and several breaks throughout the year. I work very close by. So a quick potty break is easy to accommodate. My husband also works locally. So there’s usually someone home for extra belly rubs and company. We’re a dog-loving household ready to make your pup feel right at home! Safety is always my number one priority. I treat them like family — with lots of love and attention, and always with their well-being top of mind. At home, I have a friendly black lab mix who loves to play with new pals! She’s crate trained and well-socialized. You can trust that your furry friend will be safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way.
“Anastasiya took our girl Charlotte (5 year old Shepsky) for walks while my wife and I went out of town for 4 days. Charlotte can pull from time to time while walking, Anastasiya handled the walks like a pro. She took excellent care of our pup. She was punctual, affordable, dependable, communicated well and went above and beyond for our girl. She will be who we use anytime we go out of town! Thanks Anastasiya!”
About: I am currently a vet tech at a local animal hospital and have over 2 years of experience in that field. I have administered medication, vaccines, cared for sick animals that require extra attention, and have a vast knowledge of animal welfare. I have been a pet owner since I could walk. I have always cared for dogs from my own family, to relatives, to friends of the family. I helped my dog Lily give birth to her puppies and made sure they were always fed and safe, since Lily was only a year old herself and wasn't sure what to do. I'm able to give baths, I love cuddling and providing plenty of play time, and I will happily give treats to the best boys and girls I care for (that's all of them!) I provide a lot of pictures during my visits because I know how much trust it takes for someone to take care of your baby while you're gone, and I want to provide as much peace of mind as I can that they are being well cared for and loved. I am currently a vet tech at a local animal hospital, but have temporarily gone part-time to finish my Bachelor's in Animal Science, so I have fairly open availability to care for your baby during the week. I am very flexible and can work with you on providing times for care that work best for you and your fur baby! I have vast experience caring for animals in my own home, as I am also a foster mom for my hospital's rescue from time to time! I have cared for several people's animals in the comfort of their own homes as well! I have moved into a house, so I have a nice, unfenced yard for potty breaks and play time, or we can always go for walks at the park! I provide a lot of pictures during my visits because I know how much trust it takes for someone to take care of your baby while you're gone, and I want to provide as much peace of mind as I can that they are being well cared for and loved.

I am available weekdays and weekends. I have an unfenced yard with several trees lining the back of the property. Your pet will be safely supervised while in the yard, whether on the leash or off. Pets can be crated as needed, but are free to roam the house and lay on the furniture. Our home is their home!

“Hannah and Patrick took great care of my lab Junior. He is very high energy and they have a great back yard to accommodate his level of activity. A plus is they had other dogs coming for doggie daycare and Junior is very social. We will be using Hannah and Patrick on a regular basis for doggie daycare and whenever we are out of town for boarding! I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to rest assured their fur babies are in good hands!”
“A wonderful sitter! Kimberley did an excellent job keeping Yasuke. When we got home Yasuke was completely exhausted so I know she had a fantastic time with Kimberley! I would definitely recommend to others!”

About: I work fully from home, which allows me to offer a highly attentive and flexible level of care throughout the day. Dogs in my care receive consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. I also have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and my neighborhood has sidewalks that are ideal for daily walks. I currently have two dogs of my own: Neo, a Lab mix, and Luna, a Golden Retriever. Caring for them daily gives me strong hands-on experience with different temperaments, routines, and energy levels, and I’m very comfortable adjusting care based on each dog’s personality and needs. I also foster dogs, including dogs with medical needs and behavioral challenges. This has given me experience administering medication, managing behaviors, recognizing stress signals, and reinforcing basic training techniques when needed. I am comfortable caring for dogs that require extra patience, structure, or individualized attention. Because I truly love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I treat every dog in my care with the same attention and responsibility I give my own. I intentionally provide quality, attentive care and only take bookings I can fully commit to, so each dog receives the attention they deserve. I work from home full time, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. Because I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and as many potty breaks as needed. I can easily incorporate walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication if needed, and rest time into the day while making sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. Safety is very important to me. I have a fully fenced yard with a 6-foot fence, which provides a secure space for dogs to spend time outside safely. Because I work from home full time, dogs in my care receive full attention, close supervision, and are never left alone for long periods. I make sure each dog feels comfortable, secure, and cared for while following their routine and any specific instructions provided by their owner.
“Tracy made drop-off and pick-up super easy for our Golden Retrieiver Rosie She kept her cool during the hot July days and comfortable when she got nervous about fireworks. She kept us updated with pics throughout the week. Would highly recommend!”
“Dillon is very attentive and thoughtful of your pets needs and personality. He responded quickly and sent plenty of updates and pictures to know how Hildy was doing throughout the weekend. He's got a nice big fenced yard for the dogs to play in and took Hildy for walks with his dogs as well.”
“Wow! Susan was amazing with Sadie. I had a couple of appointments out of the area and needed a sitter for the day. Sadie felt very comfortable with her and immediately I got a photo with Sadie being the lap dog princess she is. When we picked her up she was very relaxed and happy. Would definitely recommend. Susan!”
“Kelly and Jacob were great. They took care of my hyper 3month old Lab puppy for the weekend. My dog seemed to feel safe with them as he was cuddling up with the kids on the couch. Kelly was great about sending pictures of my puppy during his stay and made me not have to worry about if he was okay.”
“During the meet and greet, our Bella roamed around the backyard and instantly connected with Sarai and her daughter. This was the first meet and greet that Bella did not appear anxious and was visibly calm and happy. Dropping Bella off for her stay was seamless as Sarai’s family excitedly welcomed her into their home. During Bella’s stay, Sarai sent regular updates and gorgeous pictures of Bella playing and “taking over” as spoiled dog number 1. Sarai and her family are phenomenal and we will definitely book again.”
“Hannah took great care of Roxy. She gave me daily updates on Roxy and pictures. Will definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”

“Luis was wonderful. He communicated every step of the way. He was kind, knowledgeable and accommodating. I made a mistake and he was more than gracious about it. This was my first experience with Rover and I was extremely nervous. However, I will definitely be looking to work with him again.”
“I had a bad experience with a previous rover sitter so I was so reluctant to leave my baby but Casey eased all of that! She was extremely attentive with our baby. To the point where she will be my go to whenever I'm in the area and she is available. She was kind, very responsive and really eased all of my concerns. Thank you again for caring for our baby especially during our time of need!”
“Boh had such a great stay with Alexandria! We loved all the updates we got during his stay and felt he was in great hands. She was very easy to communicate with and overall would highly recommend!”
“Cay was completely awesome. Truly exceeded my expectations with the updates, pictures, and videos. He was patient and took excellent care of my boy. Highly recommend Cay! If I could give him 10 stars I would!!”
“As usual, Lisa was amazing with Molly. It is such a relief when you have to leave and know your fur baby will be well taken care off. I would recommend Lisa to anyone who is looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter for your pet.”
