Personalized care for your dog or cat - Anthony
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Anthony
“Karma loved her stay and I feel it is her little vacation too. Know she is taken care of and spoiled. Always love seeing the pictures of her enjoying herself and updates daily.”
“Ivy took wonderful care of my energetic, large breed, 1 year old puppy. She sent TONS of photos and updates. He was so happy there- he hardly wanted to come home 🤣 Her dog is a great playmate for other pups, too. ❤️”
“Ryan is an absolute lifesaver! He watched my elderly dog, Misty, at his home for a week over the 4th of July, which is normally the most stressful time of the year for her due to the fireworks. Misty has severe anxiety, but Ryan handled her with so much patience, love, and care. He kept her safe, calm, and treated her like family during the chaotic holiday. I received updates at least twice a day along with the most adorable pictures, which completely put my mind at ease. I was able to relax on my trip knowing she was in such capable and compassionate hands. I cannot recommend Ryan enough, especially for anyone with senior or anxious pups. We will absolutely be booking with him again!"”
“Kevin and Natalie were absolutely amazing with my dog! They gave him so much love and truly treated him like he was their own. They were very quick with responses and sent many pictures over my puppy’s stay. 10000% recommend them!”
“Jason and Brit are so sweet. They treated my Cayenne like their own. And they really seem to know all the personalities of the dogs they care for. Can’t say enough good things about them. We will use them again for sure!”
“We left Keenu with Noria for the whole day. And he loved it. She was very nice and accommodative of my timings (as it was a work day). Her loads of pics and videos about Keenu’s well being were well appreciated throughout the day. We will definitely reach out again to her for our next dog sitting need. Thank you !”
“Can’t say thank you enough to Lisa and her family. Lisa took care of our peanut with so much love. He had an awesome time and we can’t wait to book her again. She also kept in constant communication and sent lots of pictures which made us feel very comfortable and satisfied. Thank you Lisa.”
“Ana did a great job taking care of our pups! We were a little nervous because it was our first time using the service but she made it easy and kept us updated with messages and pictures!”
“Purvi is amazing with our pup. Always so flexible and responsive. Our dog always has a great time with her and you can tell he has been well cared for. Purvi is very attentive to instructions, we never have any concerns with leaving our dog in her care.”
“Kaipo loved Scotts home. He was so excited to be there. Nice big yard to run around in and other dogs to play with as well. One of the biggest changes I noticed after Kaipos' stay was that he now returns the ball to me when we play fetch. He would never do that before. Keep away was his favorite game. Took him to dog park and I was throwing the ball for him for nearly an hour. He bought it back every time, dropped it and waited for me to pick it up and throw it again. That was a nice change and I want to thank Scott for fixing that. I had fun.”
“Megan was so sweet with our dog and put us all right at ease. She made sure to send updates and photos we with updates every day. Our dog was so comfortable and spoiled at her home, got lots of snuggles and walks. I'm not sure he wanted to leave! Would definitely book with her again!”
“Trista was great! She was a great communicator and provided amazing care for my pup! He looked so happy in the photos and videos and a fenced in yard is a big win for him! Would happily send my pup back to Trista again!”
About: I have been a dog owner since I was young and a dog mom for more than ten years! Play time, walks, going to the park, and snuggles, are a day to day necessity. Along with treats, dietary needs/supplements, and any special care your best friend might need. I am here to make your baby comfortable and happy in my care while you’re away. An attempt to distract them from missing you so much ☺️ I’m available on weekends and during weekday mornings until 11:00 AM, making me a great option for morning walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or weekend boarding. I make it a priority to give each pet my full attention, follow their usual routine, and ensure they receive plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection while in my care. Water, treats, exercise and comfort are always provided. The most important thing is that your baby is happy and attended to. Extra potty time, outdoor sniffs, strolls and adventures if they’re interested, lots of pets, cuddles and attention ☺️
“Emily was amazing! She was so quick to respond from first inquiry and throughout our stay. She was also extremely flexible and transparent. She treated Lola like one of her own dogs and ensured that she fit into their family while she stayed with them. It was so reassuring to know that Lola was happy and loved the entire time we were away. We greatly appreciated Emily and Lola will definitely be back to visit her friends in the future!”
“Stan and Barbara were wonderful! Our dog felt comfortable right away and we could see how happy he was in all the pictures they sent us. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Cooper with them again. We are very grateful we found them.”
“Awesome! Jean, is excellent! We left our 7-year-old Labradoodle for the first time with Jean for an extended weekend. She treated Simba as if he was her own dog and sent us pics of their wonderful time together multiple times a day. Simba loved it and felt at home. We are so glad we found Jean as she will be our go-to person moving forward.”
“Our two large dogs had a great time with Heather and came back so well-rested and happy! We really enjoyed receiving photos during their stay, seeing how much fun they had! Thank you, Heather!”
“Angela did such a wonderful job with my dog Jessie. I was so nervous leaving my dog ith someone other than family. I asked for references and she didnt hesitate. Her set up for the dogs was beutiful. Her other dogs were so welcoming and did really well. She took my dog on a hike daily to meet with sheep from a neighboring farm. How cool. Plus she sent pictures to show how my dog was doing. I will definitely be using her again. Thanks again Angela. ”

Cat caregivers near you - Anthony
About: Although I don't have cats of my own, I have cat-sit my neighbors and friends cats on and off throughout my life. Totaling all of that into about 2 years of experience. I am good with giving cats the space that they need and making sure they are happy. I am ok with cleaning out their litter boxes when needed.
“Kristine was great and so easy to work with! She took great care of our two senior cats, one of whom needs oral meds twice daily. Definitely recommend and we will be using her again!”
About: I've had cats my entire life and have experience caring for them at every stage, from playful kittens to senior cats with medical needs. I've also cared for stray cats, helping them build trust and feel safe in a home environment. Because of this experience, I'm comfortable with a wide range of feline personalities, whether they're outgoing and playful or shy and independent. I'm experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, administering routine medications, and recognizing when a cat may need extra attention or a quieter environment. I understand that cats thrive on consistency, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, respected, and cared for while their owners are away.
“Brittney was really great taking care of our two cats while we were away. She's dependable, detail-oriented and caring. We loved getting photos each day. Definitely recommended!”
“Sarah is amazing! She is very responsive to messages, is very attentive to all of those little instructions we express about our fur babies and- most of all- they love her! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life. Mostly cats and 4 dogs and if it were up to me I would have a dog now. I love playing with dogs even if it’s just a calm walk through the park or tossing a ball for hours. I do have a part time job where the hours always change but I’d love to spend my spare time delivering scratches and reviving wet kisses. I can help administer medicine and If your dog needs a brushing I’d be happy to help. I understand they are more then pets, they are family and I would treat your fur babies just as if they were my own. I love all dogs and I’m sure your dog would love me too! I have recently moved back to the north east and currently have a very flexible schedule. Weekdays, weekends, and even some holidays! Just ask! I'd love to help the best I can Ive been around animals my whole life. I can read their body language pretty well and know when they would like to play or need some space. Every animal is different. Im comfortable with all kinds of animals and do my best to provide them with comforting environment.
“Jake did a good job checking on my cat while I was away! My cat warmed up to him after a day or so, and Jake made sure he had plenty of water, food, clean litter, and some playtime. I would definitely book Jake again.”
“Sarah was excellent with Chase. She followed his routine carefully, communicated clearly, and handled everything with confidence. Chase is a senior tripod and needs a bit of extra support, and she managed his let‑outs, feeding, medications, and mobility needs without any issues. We had an unexpected power outage during our booking, and Sarah immediately stepped in with solutions to keep Chase safe and comfortable. She was flexible, dependable, and proactive throughout the entire situation. Chase was well cared for, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was with her. We will absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend.”
“Lauren was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! She took care of Tilly our “spicy” and sometimes difficult cat with ease. She always sent us photos and was very communicative. I will definitely hire her again when needed and would highly recommend!!!”
“From the reports and Rover card photos Izzy really enjoyed Emma's company, and despite being a shy cat, he came out and let her brush him right away. She made me feel comfortable leaving Izzy in someone else's care for the first time. I will definitely book her for my next trip, if she's available.”
About: I’ve always had a pet in my house! I cared for my mother’s dog full-time during long recovery from back surgery! I have always had deep connections to animals and am patient but eager to gain their trust. I have accommodated for a wide range of furry personalities and I am excited to meet more animals over the summer. I am a college student home from campus all summer so I’m looking forward to spending some time in the sun getting some energy out with your pets! I am available Monday-Friday though weekends may vary! I can accommodate for a variety of environments. I have played with a group of dogs in a wide fenced in yard, as well as taking them to the dog park. I have a large fenced in yard with a deck to soak up the sun and get our sillies out. I also have a scenic park at the end of my cul-de-sac perfect for stimulation! I am happy to utilize whatever accessories and environments you find most suitable and comfortable for your pet! I am comfortable dressing your dogs in their harness and leash with ease and engaging in their favorite locations to explore!
“Gwen cared for my cat over a long weekend. She was extremely punctual and sent updates each visit. My cat is a major sneak/escape artist and Gwen was very mindful of my cat's whereabouts (even during the meet and greet she was extremely careful about keeping doors closed) and that helped put my mind at ease. She was responsive to any and all concerns I had and she followed all instructions.”
“Melissa is an amazing dog sitter! She was everything we could have hoped for while we were out of town and then some. She kept us updated with plenty of photos, videos, and walk updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our dogs were well cared for and received so much love and attention from Melissa. We came home to two happy doggo’s, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter.”
“Shannon is an awesome pet sitter. She always kept us informed of how our cat was doing, with daily pictures too. Her love for pets clearly shows in how she conducts herself. We will absolutely ask Shannon to watch our cat again, and look forward to a long lasting relationship!”

“I can’t give enough stars for Erica! This is the second time she has been able to stay with my cat Lily, and both times have been fantastic. Super communicative, pet-focused and I couldn’t have asked for any better situation. I know this may mean that she isn’t always available, but she really is an amazing sitter and your pet deserves the treatment!”

“Kamini was absolutely wonderful with my dog. She kept me updated every few hours with photos and videos of Biscuit having the best time with her dog, Pia. He came home happy and tired! I 100% recommend her services and will absolutely be rebooking soon!”
“I am super grateful that Porkchop was able to stay with Estefania. He had a blast! She was very sweet and sent tons of videos so I got to see my boy having a fun time. I know he was in great hands. She was in touch thru out the day and was understanding when I was a bit late for pick up. I would absolutely bring him back for another stay!”
About: Dogs are my life. I’ve grown up around dogs! I got my first dog when I was 10 years old, I taught her everything she knows and she was my best friend! I’ve been dog sitting for families for a few years now. I can’t wait to meet and get to know your dog!
“George had a wonderful time at Jillian’s home. Jillian sent me pictures and updates throughout the day which was a thoughtful addition! My George suffers from separation anxiety and upon picking him up there were not signs of that. We are so thankful that we found Jillian! Additionally, Jillian responds quick and has been a pleasure to connect with - would trust Jillian with my pup any time!”
“Kumud is an incredible dog sitter. She’s gone above and beyond to ensure that our high energy pup is cared for, exercised, and comfortable. Her yard is the ultimate playground and she always makes sure the dogs are playing nicely together. Her dog, Kai, is sweet and playful and welcomes others in. Kumud’s family is really sweet and I trust that Zoe is safe in their care. I highly recommend Kumud’s services.”
About: Hi! We’re Matt and Katherine. After 17 wonderful years with our beloved mutt, Bella, we find ourselves as "dog empty nesters" with a lot of love (and a big back yard!) to share. We know how hard it is to leave your furry family members, so we make it our mission to spoil your pups just like our own. Whether it’s long games of fetch in our massive yard or cozy snuggles on the couch, your dog will be part of the family here. I work from home full-time, which means your dog will have constant companionship and a flexible routine. I take frequent breaks throughout the day for potty runs, backyard exploration, and focused playtime, ensuring they never feel lonely and get plenty of exercise and love. Our two-acre property is unfenced, offering a wonderful sense of freedom. Depending on your dog's comfort level and recall reliability, we can enjoy off-leash play together, or I am happy to keep them on a long lead for safety. We share custody of our two elementary-aged children; they are very respectful of animals and love having "guest" pups around. We always ensure a supervised and secure environment for everyone.
“Maggie had a great time at Scott’s. We felt very comfortable leaving Maggie with Scott and when we returned to pick her up we could tell that she liked him and was comfortable there. She will definitely be visiting again.”

“Purvi is amazing!!! From the first moment of meeting her, I could see right away that she loves dogs and dogs love her. I 10/10 recommend Purvi and will definitely be rebooking her for the future!”
About: I have lots of experience with dogs and absolutely love spending time with them — playing, teaching tricks, and taking them on walks. I grew up around dogs and have a real passion for it! I only take one dog at a time, so your pup gets my full attention and focus throughout the stay. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can walk your dog in the early morning, during lunch, and in the late afternoon/evening — basically as needed throughout the day. I live in a house with my sweet two-year-old daughter, who is gentle and great with animals (no grabbing or rough play!). Because of this, I’m looking to care for friendly, calm dogs who are comfortable around kids. If your pup fits that description, I’d love to give them a fun, attentive stay full of walks, play, and maybe even a new trick or two!
“Debbie sent pictures and all I saw were 2 small dogs who did not miss their human Mom. There was play time (smiles and action), down time (cuddling and relaxing). I was always under the impression they sat in a corner and missed me with all their tiny hearts, but no - Debbie had them going the whole time! One fell asleep on the drive home due to the days action, the other needed every minute of tthe days action! Her property is amazing! Gorgeous setting only maybe two or three miles from downtown Bernardsville. So much safe space to run and play in. Exploring is at the top of Louie's requirements and he had a whole acre of fenced in yard to get all his Terrier on! Thanks so much Debbie! WE WILL BE BACK!!!!”
About: What sets us apart from other sitters in the area is our availability of time and space. We provide nurturing care for all pets, drawing from our extensive experience gained over the years caring for our own beloved animals. Our commitment ensures that your pets receive the attention and love they deserve while you're away. My pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, allowing me to dedicate time each day to tend to your pet’s needs, whether it’s playtime, walks, or feeding.

“Katie is absolutely amazing! She is communicative, thoughtful, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took such great care of Hatchi and made sure that he was comfortable and happy the entire time. We really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and little notes about how he was doing. It’s clear that Katie genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and Hatchi came back relaxed and well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive sitter. Thank you Katie!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the deep, lifelong bond I’ve had with dogs and my genuine passion for caring for them. I grew up with my beloved Maltese, who was a part of my life for many years and truly shaped my love for animals. Over the past 20 years, I’ve cared for the dogs of friends, family members, coworkers, and even my pastor—building a reputation as the reliable, loving go-to pet sitter in my community. As a teacher, I bring patience, structure, and lots of heart to everything I do—including pet care. I treat every dog like one of my students: with kindness, respect, and a deep commitment to their well-being. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a gentle senior dog, I adapt to their needs, provide consistent care, and ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As I’m currently off for summer break, I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to pet care. I’m available to welcome dogs into my home or provide in-home care at your place through September. I’m happy to give your pets lots of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away! Safety, trust, and comfort are at the core of how I care for every pet. As a lifelong animal lover and educator, I understand how important it is to create a secure, loving environment—whether your dog is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home. I live near a beautiful local reservoir with a safe walking path that I’ve used with many dogs over the years. I’m very familiar with the area and always remain alert and aware during walks to ensure your pet’s safety. I would never put your beloved pet, another animal, or anyone else in a risky situation. Their well-being comes first—always. As a teacher, safety is second nature to me. I bring that same responsibility and care into my pet-sitting—balancing structure and protection with plenty of fun, love, and tail wags along the way!
“I commend Jiyao for the great care provided to my dog, Halo, during my initial Rover experience. Jiyao's patience, enthusiastic approach, and excellent communication ensured my dog's safe and happy return. His services are also competitively priced! We will gladly utilize his services again.”

“Jessi was great with my late booking. I shared a little bit about my dogs’ quirks and she reassured me about her experience. We weren’t able to meet ahead of time but she asked good questions that made me feel confident that she would take good care of my babies. We were in the middle of a heat wave and she did so well accommodating them. Great pics of my smiling cuties even though Jessi was essentially a stranger to them.”
About: I’m the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family! I’m a proud mom to a 20-year-old cat and an aunt to many other beloved pets. I love going on long walks, so let me know if your pet would enjoy coming along! I work from home and make my own schedule so I have tons of flexibility. I like to take long walks in the evenings and would love some company! I have a 20 year old kitten named Wilbur who is the sweetest. I understand that pets are more than just pets, they’re part of the family, and deserve to be treated as a family member. I also understand the importance of being reassured your baby is loved and well taken care of in your absence and will follow all provided instructions and guidance.
About: I’m lucky enough to have an open schedule, which means your pet will get my full, undivided attention without being left alone for long stretches of time. I’ve taken care of a little bit of everything - dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs - so I’m really comfortable adapting to whatever unique routine your animal needs. My love playing with animals, chilling with them, and just watching them do what they do. One of my biggest strengths is working with pets who are on the shy or anxious side. I know how stressful it can be for them when their owners are away, so I’m incredibly patient. I know how to read their body language, give them the space they need, and just let them open up to me at their own pace until they feel completely safe. I am currently on summer break from college and take care of my own dogs at home. I make sure to give them everything they need from walks to play to just sitting around together. My main priority is keeping a constant eye on your pet and sticking as close to their normal routine as possible. Whether I'm staying at your place or visiting, your pet won't be left alone for long stretches, which really helps prevent separation anxiety. While I'm in a client's home, I will treat it with total respect and keep everything secure. I will make sure that all doors and gates are locked securely every time I leave your home, and I always keep dogs on a leash during walks. Because I have experience with everything from energetic dogs and cats to smaller pets like guinea pigs, I’m very aware of safety and choking hazards, like making sure small items or dangerous foods are out of reach.
About: I've always been an animal lover and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. I've had cats, dogs, and reptiles, varying in size and needs, all throughout my life. I've pet-sat for family, friends, and friends of friends. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone keep them company, I'm committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Outside of pet sitting, I'm currently earning my Master's in Social Work. My background has taught me the importance of being dependable, compassionate, and attentive. These are qualities I intend to bring to every pet I care for. I'm organized and communicative, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I'm currently a per diem employee and a social work intern while completing my Master's degree, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so walks, playtime, and exercise are something I genuinely look forward to. Because my schedule varies, I can often accommodate weekday, evening, and weekend visits. I prioritize reliability and communication, and I make sure every pet receives the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. Whether it's keeping up with a daily routine, providing companionship, or giving extra cuddles, I'm committed to making pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, ensure they get plenty of exercise and playtime, and give them lots of attention and affection. When caring for pets in a client's home, I also make sure their environment stays clean and secure, follow any specific instructions, administer routine medications if needed, and keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, and I tailor my care to meet their individual needs, whether they have lots of energy, prefer quiet companionship, or need a little extra patience and reassurance.
About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind from old to young since I was little. I have watched family dogs, and friends dogs both in the comfort of my own home and gone to spend the night at their houses. I’ve also trained my own dogs throughout the years, including potty training, simple commands, and crate training. I am currently working part-time at my job and stay home with my son. I am mainly home except for the weekends. And on the weekends, my husband will be home to help out. I have a fenced in yard and currently only have one dog of my own who is super friendly and very energetic so she will exercise your dog in our front yard. She loves to cuddle and she is crate trained. I also have an extra crate in case dogs need to be created for whatever reason.
About: Hi there! 🐾 My name is Marissa, and if you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets like family, I’m the perfect fit! I’ve always had a deep love for animals and treat every pet as if they were my own—whether it’s daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or just making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m responsible, attentive, and experienced with a variety of animals, from energetic pups to shy cats and everything in between. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always take the time to learn what makes them feel happiest and most comfortable. Your pet’s well-being is my #1 priority.

Whether you’re heading out for a day or taking a longer trip, you can trust that your furry friend is in caring hands. I’d love to meet your pet and see if I’m the right match!❤️ I make sure to plan my days around the needs of the pets I care for, whether that means morning walks, scheduled feedings, or playtime. I always allow enough time so that each pet gets my full attention—I’m never rushed. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do occasionally—it’s something I prioritize. Whether I’m watching a pet for a few days or stopping by for daily visits, I treat it like a serious responsibility and part of my lifestyle. Their comfort, safety, and happiness are always top of mind for me. When pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family. I keep a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I stick to their regular routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, walks, or medications—so they feel comfortable and secure. I also provide updates and photos so their owners can see how happy and well-cared-for they are!
“Jake helped us with mid-day visits for our dog while we were away. He made sure she got outside for playtime (even in the rain), had fresh water afterward, and was settled back in before leaving. He was very friendly and responsive, and our cat enjoyed a little attention from him too, which was appreciated! We were grateful to have Jake's kind care this past week.”
“Vanessa is awesome! My Sophie loved her from the first second of our meet and greet. While we were away Vanessa was on time and very thorough with every walk. The Rover app is great! No doubt when we need a dog walker again Vanessa will be out #1 choice. I highly recommend Vanessa for your pet care needs while you are away. You will be so happy knowing your best friend is in such capable and loving hands.”
“Brittney truly is the best! Extremely reliable and flexible. I've had to switch on her so many times because of my schedule and she's always so accommodating. Super plus is that the dogs love her. Any instructions I send her she follows with no hesitation. Super friendly and you can tell she loves what she does. Thanks Brittney for always keeping me at ease.”
About: Growing up I took care of my families Great Danes, walking them several times a day. I love all dogs and would love some puppy time! I have Weekend availability and weekday availability after my 9-5. Willing to work whatever works best for customers within the confines of my scheduled day job. My cats always have clean water, food, and clean litter boxes. Plenty of toys for stimulation! I treat everyone’s pet with the care like they are my own.
“Genuinely cannot give anything but the highest recommendations. We needed a dog walker unexpectedly on New Year's Eve, and Lauren not only responded to the booking request quickly, she accepted it even though she's never had us as clients or even met us. Her communication is clear, quick, helpful and even though I was a little scattered during the handoff she handled everything professionally and with flexibility. Seriously couldn't have had a better experience.”
About: I have worked at the pet shop in town for almost 5 years. I have learned a lot about nutrition and am here to help with that as well. I have always loved dogs & animals. I have 3 dogs now and use to have cats growing up. I have always helped family/ friends with their pets. My cousins would call me “ the dog whisperer” I am very patient and understanding- a dog sometimes is anxious just like us humans. I think taking time out of the day and using interactive toys is so important for stimulation and keeping them busy. I usually am off on sunday & wednesday. I typically work in the morning until 3pm. Can do walks/feed them/ check in’s on the dogs after work. I have lots of grass outside & a gate inside.I would play with them outside, make sure they have a harness and a longer line ( so they are safe)& take them for walks. I can brush the dogs as well. I do prefer to stop at the clients house. I have 2 dogs at my house - it can be a lot. In the clients house I would first make sure the dog goes outside to the bathroom upon arrival. I would take them for a walk, play with the dogs outside( depending on the gate situation) Make sure they have lots of water, food & i can brush them.
About: I have over 25 years of experience watch dogs. The last two years I have been working with the See Eye Foundation as a Puppy Sitter. I sit for puppies 8 weeks to 13 years old, for a single day to over a week. I also have a 12 year-old English Fox Hound that likes to take me on walks/runs daily I am currently retired and this leave me plenty of time to take care of your dog. I am an avid runner and cyclist, so walking or even running with your dog is not a problem I do not have a fenced yard, but I have a 3-acre property where dogs can roam and run. I do have a 120 foot leash that lets the dogs run without fear of them running away. If your dog likes to play fetch or just do a lot of exploring, the yard is ideal for them. I am also available to do multiple daily check ins and walks if the dog prefers to stay at home.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and knew I always wanted to work with them. I’ve always cared for the pets I had growing up which included dogs, cats and guinea pigs! I then started watching friends and family members dogs and cats when they were away. One of my first jobs was at a boarding facility where I cared for and walked dogs!

“Ivy took wonderful care of my energetic, large breed, 1 year old puppy. She sent TONS of photos and updates. He was so happy there- he hardly wanted to come home 🤣 Her dog is a great playmate for other pups, too. ❤️”
“Ryan is an absolute lifesaver! He watched my elderly dog, Misty, at his home for a week over the 4th of July, which is normally the most stressful time of the year for her due to the fireworks. Misty has severe anxiety, but Ryan handled her with so much patience, love, and care. He kept her safe, calm, and treated her like family during the chaotic holiday. I received updates at least twice a day along with the most adorable pictures, which completely put my mind at ease. I was able to relax on my trip knowing she was in such capable and compassionate hands. I cannot recommend Ryan enough, especially for anyone with senior or anxious pups. We will absolutely be booking with him again!"”
“Kevin and Natalie were absolutely amazing with my dog! They gave him so much love and truly treated him like he was their own. They were very quick with responses and sent many pictures over my puppy’s stay. 10000% recommend them!”
“Jason and Brit are so sweet. They treated my Cayenne like their own. And they really seem to know all the personalities of the dogs they care for. Can’t say enough good things about them. We will use them again for sure!”
“Can’t say thank you enough to Lisa and her family. Lisa took care of our peanut with so much love. He had an awesome time and we can’t wait to book her again. She also kept in constant communication and sent lots of pictures which made us feel very comfortable and satisfied. Thank you Lisa.”
“Ana did a great job taking care of our pups! We were a little nervous because it was our first time using the service but she made it easy and kept us updated with messages and pictures!”
“Kaipo loved Scotts home. He was so excited to be there. Nice big yard to run around in and other dogs to play with as well. One of the biggest changes I noticed after Kaipos' stay was that he now returns the ball to me when we play fetch. He would never do that before. Keep away was his favorite game. Took him to dog park and I was throwing the ball for him for nearly an hour. He bought it back every time, dropped it and waited for me to pick it up and throw it again. That was a nice change and I want to thank Scott for fixing that. I had fun.”
“Megan was so sweet with our dog and put us all right at ease. She made sure to send updates and photos we with updates every day. Our dog was so comfortable and spoiled at her home, got lots of snuggles and walks. I'm not sure he wanted to leave! Would definitely book with her again!”
“Trista was great! She was a great communicator and provided amazing care for my pup! He looked so happy in the photos and videos and a fenced in yard is a big win for him! Would happily send my pup back to Trista again!”

“Awesome! Jean, is excellent! We left our 7-year-old Labradoodle for the first time with Jean for an extended weekend. She treated Simba as if he was her own dog and sent us pics of their wonderful time together multiple times a day. Simba loved it and felt at home. We are so glad we found Jean as she will be our go-to person moving forward.”

“Tanvi was fantastic with our dog (as always)! We were away on a two-week vacation, and Tanvi kept us updated daily with videos and pictures. Milo had a great time playing with new friends, and we didn't worry for a second because we knew he was in the best hands.”
