“Sarah and her family were the best dog care I could ask for! Sarah was super communicative and so understanding when I had to extend Henry’s stay last minute. Highly highly recommend and Henry will definitely be returning!”
“As always, Macho LOVES staying at his home away from home. One month is the longest amount of time we had to be gone from him and it made it so much easier knowing he was with Ashley, Jon and their family. We appreciate knowing he is loved and cared for when we can't be with him!”
“Diane stood out to me because of her wonderful reviews and the fact that she had multiple repeat family's that trusted her with their dogs. This was the first time anyone would be taking care of a dog of mine outside of family or friends so I was worried to find the right person and unsure about a stranger taking care of my "child" but when I met Diane I felt so comfortable that my Phoebe was in safe hands and that she understood her needs and would care for her like a member of her own family. It's clear immediately how much Diane loves / has a passion for dogs and is a very caring / welcoming person. This was also the first time I would be away from my girl so I appreciated so much the frequent updates from Diane and that Diane took the time to understand Phoebe's personality and I felt she listened to my concerns and reassured me about anything and I knew my Phoebe was in great hands and also having such a fun time. Thank you to Diane for taking such good care of my girl and welcoming her into your home for the weekend .”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She was so great with our dogs, kind, patient, and really attentive to their needs. From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. She sent us daily photo updates, which we absolutely loved. It was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and having a great time. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and that meant a lot to us. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future. Our dogs already miss her!”
“Lindsay and Micah were amazing! They consistently updated us and make sure our baby was spoiled rotten! We will definitely be using these two on our next trip to the beach! Thanks Guys!!!!”
“Danielle did an awesome job caring for my fur babies. They were right at home when i picked them up. She kept me posted daily, administered my oldest dog’s med, and allowed me to bring things from home to keep them comfy. We will definitely be returning again for her services.”
“Savannah was great! She is so sweet and good with animals. She gave my high energy Australian Shepherd puppy lots of enrichment, and he had a lot of fun. She also gave my cat a safe quiet space so she was comfortable during her stay as well. She was also very responsive and sent plenty of updates and photos, so I knew my animals were in good hands. I would highly recommend Savannah, and I would definitely book again!”
“Scottie had such a good time with Natalie. He was able to play a ton and being able to free roam definitely made him feel right at home. Natalie was also super responsive and flexible when I had to modify my booking with her.”
“This was our second stay with Jordan, and I realized I never left a review after the first one. However, I definitely should have! As a first time Rover user, in fact the first time ever leaving my 9-year old pup with a stranger, I was incredibly nervous about leaving my dog with someone new. Jordan completely exceeded my expectations. He sent thoughtful updates throughout the stay with a plethora of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind, and it was obvious that my dog was being loved and well cared for. Not only is Jordan amazing, but his family is so kind and welcoming. You can truly tell they care about the dogs they watch and treat them like part of the family. Knowing my pup was safe, happy, and surrounded by so much love made all the difference. I can't thank Jordan enough for taking such great care of my dog, Lily. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and communicative, I highly recommend booking with him. We'll definitely be back!”
“I wanted to say a big thanks to Jennifer for always taking care of my dog Josie while I’m away! She always sends great videos and pictures and you can tell is genuinely happy to care for your pet! I highly recommend her to anyone checking out her profile!”
“Kelly was amazing! She kept us up to date on our pup, Brownie! We had no issues at all and our dog had another puppy to play with during her stay which we know she loved! She sent a lot of pictures and was so kind and helpful when our flight was delayed and we had to pick our dog up later. I would definitely recommend her and I will be using her again in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m Andrew. I grew up with dogs and now care for them through Rover because I genuinely miss having one around every day. I provide a safe, clean home with a fenced yard, lots of playtime, walks, and plenty of updates while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re my own. Side note, I do have a cat but she is an outside cat. I’m currently working 5am-1pm but I will be switching to night shifts around the end of July 2026, those shifts will be 3-11, 4-12pm. I also work right down the road so I don’t mind taking a lunch and running home to take out the pup for a potty break. I have a fenced yard, an upstairs and downstairs with a doggy gate leftover from our last dog, plenty of waste bags and dog leashes and some leftover toys. It is a very comfortable clean house.
“Rebecca and Pippa were great with my pup Harlow! She felt comfortable as soon as she met both of them. Rebecca was wonderful about being flexible with our changing travel plans and was very communicative and responsive. Would definitely recommend and use again! Thanks Rebecca and Pippa! :)”
“One of the best sitters we’ve had. Our dogs really enjoyed being in her home. I received many pictures and videos of them having a blast. 100% recommend booking her”
“Christina S. and her husband took very good care of Rocket! They play with him, walk him, give frequent updates and pictures. 10/10 dog sitter and highly recommend! This was our second time using her and will be booking again! I never worry about our fur baby when I'm away.”
“Raquel took Smokey as a last minute booking and was so helpful and accommodating. Her kids were so sweet and loved Smokey and when I picked him up he was so happy. Smokey would love to stay there again!”
About: You can trust me to take excellent care of your pet! As well as owning my own pets most of my life (dogs, cats, ferret, bird, rabbits, etc.), I also have a Bachelor of Science degree in pre-veterinary medicine. I have pet-sat for several friends and clients, volunteered at shelters, worked at veterinary clinics, boarding facilities, and for a professional dog walking / cat sitting company. You can rest easy as your pet will be safe in my care. I follow directions well and get the details right! Why I love dog walking and sitting: I have been a dog lover since the day I was born. My first dog, Chief, helped raise me! Since then, I have owned a dog most of my life. Some have called me the "dog-whisperer". I have a pretty good perception of dogs and connect very easily with most. My last dog, Wendell, was a 150 lb. mastiff whom I adopted when he was 4.5 years old. He had never been socialized and was scared of most people, so in the six years we were together, I gained a lot of first-hand experience working through behavioral issues in a very large and strong breed. Our current dog is Lucy, a happy-go-lucky bull terrier who is deaf. She loves every living being! I’m also comfortable taking care of cats and other pets. My experience administering medication: I've given lots of oral meds and various ointments, eye drops, ear drops, etc. My schedule is pretty flexible. I’m typically available any day of the week and can do early mornings and late evenings if needed. Let me know your needs and I will do my best to accommodate! ONE DOG FAMILY AT A TIME Boarding and Doggie Day Care: It will only be your dog(s) and our one dog staying at our house. We have a secure, fenced yard, a doggie door, and a covered back patio with doggie beds perfect for lounging in the sun or shade. Our friendly bull terrier, Lucy, will happily keep your dog company! We can easily keep your dog in a separate room while we are away from the house if you prefer. Lucy’s dad/my significant other, Pedro, also lives here and also loves animals.
“Josephine was very accomodating for our last minute dogsitting needs Thanksgiving weekend. She took great care of Lucy who loved playing with Roxy! We appreciate her patience and love she gave our anxious dog.”
About: I have worked with all types of animals since I was a child. My friends would call me the dog whisperer because I just understand them naturally! I love training dogs and horses. I currently have 3 dogs, 2 cats and a flock of ducks! All of my dogs have been raised from puppies. I have cared for senior pets as well. I have spent hundreds of hours over the last several years educating myself on animal behavior for my own pets benefits so I am well equipped to love and care for yours as well! I have always been passionate about working with animals of all type. I will always go the extra mile to provide topnotch care and service. My husband and I travel often so I know how important it can be to find petcare that you can feel good about! I currently work from home full time with a very flexible schedule. I am able to come to your house during the day or stay nights! I can offer limited boarding as well. I love animals and I love travel. I would be committed to caring for your pets as if they were my own. I enjoy getting to know your pets as each one is so special. I am reliable and can accommodate just about any extra requests such as bathing, working on training skills, hiving medication, providing adequate excercise etc. I will ALWAYS do this with your pets safety and happiness as my top priority.

I have a very flexible schedule so I basically have the whole day to come take care of any pets! I have plenty of time to come and hang out with your furry family! I have four loving dogs that get outside all day long because I have so much time during the day and a very large fenced in backyard. We go on walks all the time!

“Amos was an excellent caregiver for Bruce, showing great responsibility and genuine affection. He was punctual, attentive, and went above and beyond in his care, keeping me updated with messages. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 5, growing up my street had so many chihuahuas. I will take care of your pets like they’re my own. Right now I’m in college so I’m doing this for a little extra money and for something to do. I would love this extra time to care and love your pets as if they are my own plus it would give me something to do. (I promise I have so much free time on my hands this would really help lol) I would keep your dog inside. We would do activities such as walking your dog at a park or around my house. You must bring your own dog/cat food.
About: I have trained all the dogs I ever had . I fostered and dog sit . I have lots of experience. I'm an animal lover I do work. But when I'm not working I'm spitting every living minute with animals. I love my dogs and help walk my senior neighbors dogs in the morning and when I come home at night . I do live in an apartment. And though that might be questionable we do have a lovely dog park and a wonderful area to walk the dogs around.

“Sarah and her family were the best dog care I could ask for! Sarah was super communicative and so understanding when I had to extend Henry’s stay last minute. Highly highly recommend and Henry will definitely be returning!”
“As always, Macho LOVES staying at his home away from home. One month is the longest amount of time we had to be gone from him and it made it so much easier knowing he was with Ashley, Jon and their family. We appreciate knowing he is loved and cared for when we can't be with him!”
“Diane stood out to me because of her wonderful reviews and the fact that she had multiple repeat family's that trusted her with their dogs. This was the first time anyone would be taking care of a dog of mine outside of family or friends so I was worried to find the right person and unsure about a stranger taking care of my "child" but when I met Diane I felt so comfortable that my Phoebe was in safe hands and that she understood her needs and would care for her like a member of her own family. It's clear immediately how much Diane loves / has a passion for dogs and is a very caring / welcoming person. This was also the first time I would be away from my girl so I appreciated so much the frequent updates from Diane and that Diane took the time to understand Phoebe's personality and I felt she listened to my concerns and reassured me about anything and I knew my Phoebe was in great hands and also having such a fun time. Thank you to Diane for taking such good care of my girl and welcoming her into your home for the weekend .”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She was so great with our dogs, kind, patient, and really attentive to their needs. From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. She sent us daily photo updates, which we absolutely loved. It was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and having a great time. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and that meant a lot to us. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future. Our dogs already miss her!”
“Lindsay and Micah were amazing! They consistently updated us and make sure our baby was spoiled rotten! We will definitely be using these two on our next trip to the beach! Thanks Guys!!!!”
“Savannah was great! She is so sweet and good with animals. She gave my high energy Australian Shepherd puppy lots of enrichment, and he had a lot of fun. She also gave my cat a safe quiet space so she was comfortable during her stay as well. She was also very responsive and sent plenty of updates and photos, so I knew my animals were in good hands. I would highly recommend Savannah, and I would definitely book again!”
“Scottie had such a good time with Natalie. He was able to play a ton and being able to free roam definitely made him feel right at home. Natalie was also super responsive and flexible when I had to modify my booking with her.”
“This was our second stay with Jordan, and I realized I never left a review after the first one. However, I definitely should have! As a first time Rover user, in fact the first time ever leaving my 9-year old pup with a stranger, I was incredibly nervous about leaving my dog with someone new. Jordan completely exceeded my expectations. He sent thoughtful updates throughout the stay with a plethora of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind, and it was obvious that my dog was being loved and well cared for. Not only is Jordan amazing, but his family is so kind and welcoming. You can truly tell they care about the dogs they watch and treat them like part of the family. Knowing my pup was safe, happy, and surrounded by so much love made all the difference. I can't thank Jordan enough for taking such great care of my dog, Lily. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and communicative, I highly recommend booking with him. We'll definitely be back!”
“I wanted to say a big thanks to Jennifer for always taking care of my dog Josie while I’m away! She always sends great videos and pictures and you can tell is genuinely happy to care for your pet! I highly recommend her to anyone checking out her profile!”
“Kelly was amazing! She kept us up to date on our pup, Brownie! We had no issues at all and our dog had another puppy to play with during her stay which we know she loved! She sent a lot of pictures and was so kind and helpful when our flight was delayed and we had to pick our dog up later. I would definitely recommend her and I will be using her again in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m Andrew. I grew up with dogs and now care for them through Rover because I genuinely miss having one around every day. I provide a safe, clean home with a fenced yard, lots of playtime, walks, and plenty of updates while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re my own. Side note, I do have a cat but she is an outside cat. I’m currently working 5am-1pm but I will be switching to night shifts around the end of July 2026, those shifts will be 3-11, 4-12pm. I also work right down the road so I don’t mind taking a lunch and running home to take out the pup for a potty break. I have a fenced yard, an upstairs and downstairs with a doggy gate leftover from our last dog, plenty of waste bags and dog leashes and some leftover toys. It is a very comfortable clean house.
“Rebecca and Pippa were great with my pup Harlow! She felt comfortable as soon as she met both of them. Rebecca was wonderful about being flexible with our changing travel plans and was very communicative and responsive. Would definitely recommend and use again! Thanks Rebecca and Pippa! :)”
“One of the best sitters we’ve had. Our dogs really enjoyed being in her home. I received many pictures and videos of them having a blast. 100% recommend booking her”
“Christina S. and her husband took very good care of Rocket! They play with him, walk him, give frequent updates and pictures. 10/10 dog sitter and highly recommend! This was our second time using her and will be booking again! I never worry about our fur baby when I'm away.”
“Raquel took Smokey as a last minute booking and was so helpful and accommodating. Her kids were so sweet and loved Smokey and when I picked him up he was so happy. Smokey would love to stay there again!”
About: You can trust me to take excellent care of your pet! As well as owning my own pets most of my life (dogs, cats, ferret, bird, rabbits, etc.), I also have a Bachelor of Science degree in pre-veterinary medicine. I have pet-sat for several friends and clients, volunteered at shelters, worked at veterinary clinics, boarding facilities, and for a professional dog walking / cat sitting company. You can rest easy as your pet will be safe in my care. I follow directions well and get the details right! Why I love dog walking and sitting: I have been a dog lover since the day I was born. My first dog, Chief, helped raise me! Since then, I have owned a dog most of my life. Some have called me the "dog-whisperer". I have a pretty good perception of dogs and connect very easily with most. My last dog, Wendell, was a 150 lb. mastiff whom I adopted when he was 4.5 years old. He had never been socialized and was scared of most people, so in the six years we were together, I gained a lot of first-hand experience working through behavioral issues in a very large and strong breed. Our current dog is Lucy, a happy-go-lucky bull terrier who is deaf. She loves every living being! I’m also comfortable taking care of cats and other pets. My experience administering medication: I've given lots of oral meds and various ointments, eye drops, ear drops, etc. My schedule is pretty flexible. I’m typically available any day of the week and can do early mornings and late evenings if needed. Let me know your needs and I will do my best to accommodate! ONE DOG FAMILY AT A TIME Boarding and Doggie Day Care: It will only be your dog(s) and our one dog staying at our house. We have a secure, fenced yard, a doggie door, and a covered back patio with doggie beds perfect for lounging in the sun or shade. Our friendly bull terrier, Lucy, will happily keep your dog company! We can easily keep your dog in a separate room while we are away from the house if you prefer. Lucy’s dad/my significant other, Pedro, also lives here and also loves animals.
“Josephine was very accomodating for our last minute dogsitting needs Thanksgiving weekend. She took great care of Lucy who loved playing with Roxy! We appreciate her patience and love she gave our anxious dog.”
About: One of my biggest strengths as a pet sitter is my high energy and fun loving personality. I genuinely enjoy being active, whether that means long walks and jogs or playing fetch for half an hour. Whether your pet wants to cuddle on the couch or burn off energy with playtime, I'm happy to match their pace and make sure they feel safe and happy while you're away. I'm out the door Monday- Friday from 0730 to approx. 1600. I could walk/run/feed your pets in the morning prior to then and anytime after I'm home from work. Saturday and Sunday I am very flexible :) I have two cats that I will keep upstairs to give your pet the privacy and space on the first floor when boarding. I live in a townhouse with a small front and backyard but would most likely be walking/ jogging around the block with your doggo if boarding.
“Was nervous to leave our 9-week-old kitten in a new place for a weekend, but he did great with Jordan! She sent us videos of him getting settled and was super quick to respond to texts before and during our kitten's stay. Definitely recommend!”
