“At the most opportune moment I had the good fortune to find Katherine and John to take care of Beeto, from his expression I can say that he received a lot of love and care. He certainly had a great time.”
“Sandra was absolutely wonderful. We had a last minute request and it was our first time leaving our dog with anyone else besides grandma. She sent us photo updates, putting us at ease. Teddy had a blast and was full of excitement and a wagging tail when we picked him up. We would definitely love to have her care for him again.”
“This was a great first time experience I was so nervous to leave my dog with a stranger but Tiffany made sure to reassure me that my dog would be fine, her communication skills were excellent and my Roxy had a great time. Definitely recommend to book her if you need a sitter !!!”
About: I have been a veterinary technician for 22 years. This makes me a perfect candidate if your pet needs oral medication or insulin. While working I have pet sat on the side as well as caring for my own four legged family members. I currently work full time while my husband works from home. Currently looking to change my work schedule so I will be home more as well. I have one small dog to keep your pet company. I will provide walks through the day as well as a very small contained are outside.
“My Bella a 8 pound Yorkie stayed with Nantikan for a few days, and she sent me text messages and pictures. I would recommend her for your dogs 🐕 stay. She was very nice and very caring. She has a huge fenced in yard, and dogs of her own.”
“My boys, Ruxpin and Rebel, always look forward to their stays with Eileen. She keeps good communication regarding updates on how the boys are doing. She takes extra care of them so I have peace of mind while away. She had them cleaned and groomed when I picked them up. Satisfied repeat customer. We will always pick Eileen.”
“Lori was amazing with our 6 year old basset hound. Our dog felt right at home when she stayed with her. Usually our dog gets nervous and can’t wait to leave when boarded. I will definitely use her again.”
“Marci was absolutely wonderful with my dog. I really appreciated the way that she communicated with me and also how much she cared for my dog. I would 100% use her again.”
“Andrew was absolutely perfect. He clearly has a wealth of knowledge about dogs and their care and behaviour. He checked in regularly and made us feel completely at ease with his care for our dog Hank. He truly cared for Hank as if he were a part of his family and we are so grateful that we got connected with him. I would without a doubt recommend him to anyone for the care of their animals.”
“Victoria was fantastic! Our dog had a wonderful time, as evidenced by the thoughtful photos she provided throughout his stay! Thank you for the great care that you provided, Victoria!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Robin! This was the first time Apollo had ever stayed with someone he didn’t know, so I was understandably nervous about leaving him. From the moment I met Robin, she was kind, caring, and incredibly attentive, and she went above and beyond to make sure Apollo was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Robin gave him extra walks, plenty of attention, and lots of playtime, which meant so much to me. She also provided ongoing updates and pictures throughout his stay, which gave me tremendous peace of mind and allowed me to see that Apollo was doing so well and enjoying himself. She was also extremely flexible and accommodating with my schedule, even allowing me to arrive later than we had originally discussed. Her kindness, communication, and willingness to go the extra mile truly made this experience stress-free. I would highly recommend Robin to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring to look after their pet. Apollo was in excellent hands, and I would absolutely trust Robin with him again!”
“Lisa was wonderful with Theo my cat. He responded very well to her gentle, soft spoken, and kind manner. He often slept with her and would make bread while sitting on her lap. She has plenty of space for him to run and play. The thing I'm most grateful for is the fact she doesn't have carpeting. One very unique and creative thing she did was using a small canvas she'd take the colors from his coat and applied them to the canvas and put the canvas in a zip lock bag. Than using Theo's paws would let him create a special piece of artwork. Which she gave to me when I picked him up. She is truly Amazing and I wouldn't hesitate to leave my fur babies with her again.”
“As always, Tim and Lisa are amazing with your furry child. Bailey always enjoys her stays and we highly recommend bring your furry child to them. Their family will treat them as their own.”
“It was our first time booking this sitter and she was absolutely amazing. She sent me lots of pictures of my dog 🐶 and updates on how she’s doing. She was very quick in responding to my messages and very kind. My girl 🐕 came home the happiest. She had her best time there. I have rebooked this sitter for next month and will 💯 book her again in the near future. Can’t wait for my girl 🐕 go on another staycation at this sitter’s place. Cannot recommend enough. ❤️”
“Jeffrey had such a great time with Pat, we were afraid he might not want to come home! Pat kept us updated with pictures of Jeffrey making himself at home! We were able to leave for two days and one night without one second of worry! Just a wonderful experience for Jeffrey and us!”
“Samona is absolutely wonderful! We were nervous about leaving our dog for 3.5 weeks but she made it so easy! Our dog took a while to warm up to the other dogs so she made sure she was watching them closely when they were together, while also allowing him to have his own outdoor time. Our dog loved the huge yard and all the toys they had (including the drone)! Plus, we got numerous updates (more than I have ever gotten from any other Rover) which made us so happy. I cannot wait to drop my pup back with Samona!”

“Katrina is so loving and conscientious, she made me feel so comfortable being away! I knew my cat was being loved and cared for! I very highly recommend her for your pet for just a drop in or something else! She is kind, caring and her level of communication is exactly what any pet owner would want! 😌”
“James was wonderful with Midnight—even applying ear medication! He had a much easier time doing so than myself, apparently! I received lots of pictures, and I can tell he genuinely enjoyed my animals and treated them with love and respect. I would definitely nook with James again.”
“Cassie was absolutely so great with my cats Pib & Poe while I was away for the weekend! After a lot of commotion of my home being renovated and then having a trip away my cats were definitely confused as to what was going on lol! Cassie was so communicative and helpful and really put my mind at ease completely while I was gone. Cassie was super prompt, easy to talk to, and honestly fun to communicate with about the silly habits cats have lol!! I will definitely be booking with Cassie again during my next trip away. Thank you so much for taking care of my girls😊”
“Jazmin did a great job! She seemed to genuinely care for our cat, Cleo, even though it was her first time watching her. She did Cleo’s routine, played with her, and gave her attention. Cleo can be a picky and talkative senior cat, and Jazmin was dedicated to providing good care.”
About: I've had cats my whole life! I currently have 3, Dash (18), Dory (12), and Nemo (9 months). They are all strays/rescues found by me or family members. They are the loves of my life and it's a joy to be their momma. I have previously worked in animal welfare for 5 years. I love spending time with other people's pets too!
“Katelyn did a great job keeping our cat company and also keeping an eye on our two chickens. She also watered my daughter’s plants. Our cat was way less stressed than when we have boarded her during trips. We would hire her again.”
“It was my first time booking through the app and I'm so glad I did! Kristin was great. We needed a short notice sitter and she even made time to meet my dogs beforehand! She sent me text updates throughout the weekend with each time she dropped by and sent me pictures of my dogs and what they were up to! Can't wait to book with her again!”
“Alyssa was always on time for the schedule I set and prompt with her report cards and photo's. She was very kind/courteous with my dogs during the Mee/Greet and made me feel very comfortable entrusting their care to her. I will definitely utilize her services again and highly recommend her!”
About: I had cats as a child and love sitting with my sisters cat anytime I visit. I feel oddly chosen when a cat deems me worthy of pets. I even had a stray cat find me in a medieval town in Europe.
“Andrew cared for our 7 cats for 8 days, two visits daily, and did a great job. He had to clean five litter boxes, change five water bowls and a fountain, feed different diets and even give medication twice daily for one of the cats. He sent us photos, communicated as needed and kept up with keeping the boxes refilled and sweeping up excess litter. He brought in mail and packages too! Will definitely book with Andrew again!”

About: I am a person dedicated to animal welfare and I specialize in the care of adult dogs, although I also have experience with puppies.

I offer a complete and personalized care that includes: Daily walks with attention to your pace and needs Food according to their schedules and special diets Medication administration (if needed) Baths and basic hygiene care Much love, patience and company Your dog will be in good hands, with someone who really loves what he does. Pet care is the heart of my daily routine. From early in the morning until the end of the day, I organize my time according to the needs of each dog under my care. Each walk, meal, game or moment of rest is part of a routine designed with love and responsibility. I make sure to maintain consistent schedules, adapt activities according to the dog's age and energy, and always be attentive to its physical and emotional well-being. More than a task, taking care of dogs is an essential part of my day to day and something I deeply enjoy. 1. Professional organization of space I have a clean, safe and adapted area according to the size and personality of each pet. I use beds, toys, and differentiated areas for rest, play and food. 2. Structured but flexible routine I plan the day with fixed schedules for walks, meals, baths, and rest time. I adapt to the specific needs of each pet (medication, diet, energy level). 3. Communication with the owners I maintain constant contact with the owners through messages, photos or videos. I inform you about how your pet is, if he eats well, if he plays, or if I notice something unusual. 4. Hygiene and well-being guaranteed I clean the spaces and utensils daily. If required, I give baths or perform basic hygiene care. 5. Security and responsibility I never leave pets alone or in a cage I know basic first aid for animals 6. Love, attention and respect I treat each pet as if it were mine. I strive to make them feel comfortable, calm and loved, like in their own home.
“Erin is amazing! I have an indoor outdoor cat that won’t use a box and she was kind enough to take the job and deal with my anxiety! She let Edgar out in the morning and in in the evening! Put out the food and water also. She gave my other two attention and treats as well! My shy one even came out for love!! Highly recommend if you want peace of mind!!”

About: Hello! My name is Amanda, and I am 36 years old. On top of being an animal lover of all kinds my entire life, I have worked in pet stores, and Dog Kennels where I would distribute meds (oral and injection) as necessary and was a Dog Groomer for a family-owned shop for 15 years. We are lucky enough to have a very spacious fenced in yard where your babies can play and stay safe. Unfortunately, I am currently not taking any bigger breeds at the moment. This will not be a forever thing, it's just what works for our family right now. Thank you for understanding! Sadly, we lost our family dog not too long ago, but we have a hairless cat who is the most patient, lover girl you’d ever meet. Drop offs and pick-ups can be anywhere between 8am to 8pm. I have two small children, and I try to keep a nighttime routine. We can always make other arrangements; I am very easy to work with. If you would like your dog to be bathed right before picking up, we can arrange that as well! Dogs *MUST* be good with children and cats. I promise to love your animals and give them a happy & safe environment until you return! I cannot wait to meet you! I am currently a stay-at-home Mom! It will be easy to fit into your dog's schedule and cater to them as often as they need! I have huge 6ft privacy fenced in yard for play time and walks. We also have a beach and lake right across the street if that is something they would like!
About: I have taken care of pets my entire life. I’ve had dogs, cats and fish. I’ve cared for lizards and small furry friends as well. I will always stop to pet a dog and I’ve had animals come up to me out in the wild on multiple occasions. Although I currently do not have a pet, I love sitting for my friends. I’ve cared for all size and age of dog from a few months to 16 years. I believe pets are family and should be treated as such. Im currently off for the summer but teaching summer school for the month of July. My schedule is pretty open and much if what I do have scheduled is flexible. Although I live in an apartment, my complex is extremely pet friendly with 4 dog parks and a full walking loop with poop bags around the entire property.
About: I am sometimes referred to as the crazy dog lady, and I proudly accept that title :) I have experience with caring for a pack of 6 of my own, while caring for others. Doing it in a way that each one of the dogs needs was met. With that many pups, I have a great deal of experience caring for pups who may have dog aggression, anxiety, excessive energy, and/or medical needs. Through experiencing some of these issues with my own dogs, I am confident that I can give you ease of mind by helping your pup with any of the above while theyre in my care. I have completed a dog behavior course and am a certified Level 1 Reiki practitioner. Meaning, while your pup is in my care I am able to recognize signals on how they are feeling, and am able to respond in ways that will help them to calm, and feel safe. I will ensure that your fur child will get a great amount of exercise, play, and love. Currently, I am working under a professional dog trainer to better learn how to care appropriately for your pups. I’m happy to help with some positive training as well, or follow the commands you’ve been using to make sure they have consistency. We’ll have a grand time. I look forward to meeting you and loving on your pup! Health & Happines! Brittany

“Donna is such an amazing dog sitter. This is my first time leaving my dog with a dog sitter, so I was a bit nervous but Donna is very thorough and knowledgeable about dog needs. She knows what is normal and abnormal so I felt comfortable leaving him with her. She also has a strategy to minimize stress for the dog during hand off and plays calming music when he first went in the house. I will definitely use her again if I need. She also sends pics which makes me feel reassured.”
“Kateri was wonderful with our 5 month old lab puppy! You can tell she really cares about dogs and is very experienced, kind, and professional. We would definitely have her take care of Wally again!!”

About: My husband Tim and I both grew up in households where our cats and dogs were treated as part of the family. Our neighbors, friends, and family members trust that we are a phone call away to either go to their homes to feed and take their dogs on walks or to have them stay with us overnight. We have experience with training puppies, caring for older dogs with special needs, and taking care of animals with allergies and special dietary needs. We want to extend our home and hearts to your beloved pets and use our personal experience to ensure they feel secure and loved in your absence. We can provide daily exercise, administer medication, and even help with potty training. We are always available to receive calls and texts when you are away, and we will update you as often as you would like so you can see what your pet is up to throughout the day and enjoy your time away from your furbaby without worrying that they aren't receiving the attention and love they deserve. We are home full-time (Lisa works from home and Tim is retired) and are available for all your pet's wants and needs. We live in a clean, stress-free, spacious home in a quiet neighborhood with our two teenage kids, dog Griffin, and cat Monk.
About: I have taken care of animals all my life. I grew up with small pocket pets (rabbits) and birds. As an adult I have dogs, cats, chickens, horses, and alpacas - all of which live with me on my small farm. I have experience with giant breed dogs and higher energy dogs. I also know how and am comfortable giving medications. I have worked in the animal industry for the last 10 years. Ranging from boarding facilities for dogs and cats to veterinary offices. I also am currently volunteering with my therapy dog and we visit hospitals and schools. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom so my pets are with me all day. I take the dogs out for daily walks as well as other activities. I also have a large fenced in backyard for them to play in. I have a 1-acre fenced in yard for my babies (and yours!) to play in. All of my dogs are friendly and love to play with new friends. I also have cats (strictly indoor), horses, alpacas, and chickens on the property. New friends must be good with all animals as well as children if they are staying in the house. Children and other pets will never be left unsupervised with your fur baby. If I come to your home for care for your fur baby they will be spoiled with lots of attention and love

About: I have experience with cats with health issues and giving medications. My 18 yr old has CKD and a few other issues he gets supplements for that keep him going. I have volunteered with cats at an animal shelter and helped with dog adoption events as a dog handler. My schedule is very open at the moment so I'm available for whatever is needed.

My cats are indoor only but I take my 18 year old out on a leash on walks around the yard, but he mostly prefers to be carried. I'm happy to take other cats on walks if they are harness trained, or just play with them indoors. Dogs I will walk of course and play with as needed.

“Samantha has been an absolute lifesaver! She walks my dog Cooper once a day during the week while I’m at work, and I couldn’t ask for someone more reliable. She is always consistent and right on time, which gives me total peace of mind. What really stands out is how attentive she is—she always lets me know if anything seems off with Cooper and keeps me updated after each walk. She’s also very responsive whenever I reach out, which I really appreciate. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with.

“At the most opportune moment I had the good fortune to find Katherine and John to take care of Beeto, from his expression I can say that he received a lot of love and care. He certainly had a great time.”
“Sandra was absolutely wonderful. We had a last minute request and it was our first time leaving our dog with anyone else besides grandma. She sent us photo updates, putting us at ease. Teddy had a blast and was full of excitement and a wagging tail when we picked him up. We would definitely love to have her care for him again.”
“This was a great first time experience I was so nervous to leave my dog with a stranger but Tiffany made sure to reassure me that my dog would be fine, her communication skills were excellent and my Roxy had a great time. Definitely recommend to book her if you need a sitter !!!”
“My Bella a 8 pound Yorkie stayed with Nantikan for a few days, and she sent me text messages and pictures. I would recommend her for your dogs 🐕 stay. She was very nice and very caring. She has a huge fenced in yard, and dogs of her own.”
“Lori was amazing with our 6 year old basset hound. Our dog felt right at home when she stayed with her. Usually our dog gets nervous and can’t wait to leave when boarded. I will definitely use her again.”
“Andrew was absolutely perfect. He clearly has a wealth of knowledge about dogs and their care and behaviour. He checked in regularly and made us feel completely at ease with his care for our dog Hank. He truly cared for Hank as if he were a part of his family and we are so grateful that we got connected with him. I would without a doubt recommend him to anyone for the care of their animals.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Robin! This was the first time Apollo had ever stayed with someone he didn’t know, so I was understandably nervous about leaving him. From the moment I met Robin, she was kind, caring, and incredibly attentive, and she went above and beyond to make sure Apollo was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Robin gave him extra walks, plenty of attention, and lots of playtime, which meant so much to me. She also provided ongoing updates and pictures throughout his stay, which gave me tremendous peace of mind and allowed me to see that Apollo was doing so well and enjoying himself. She was also extremely flexible and accommodating with my schedule, even allowing me to arrive later than we had originally discussed. Her kindness, communication, and willingness to go the extra mile truly made this experience stress-free. I would highly recommend Robin to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring to look after their pet. Apollo was in excellent hands, and I would absolutely trust Robin with him again!”
“Lisa was wonderful with Theo my cat. He responded very well to her gentle, soft spoken, and kind manner. He often slept with her and would make bread while sitting on her lap. She has plenty of space for him to run and play. The thing I'm most grateful for is the fact she doesn't have carpeting. One very unique and creative thing she did was using a small canvas she'd take the colors from his coat and applied them to the canvas and put the canvas in a zip lock bag. Than using Theo's paws would let him create a special piece of artwork. Which she gave to me when I picked him up. She is truly Amazing and I wouldn't hesitate to leave my fur babies with her again.”
“As always, Tim and Lisa are amazing with your furry child. Bailey always enjoys her stays and we highly recommend bring your furry child to them. Their family will treat them as their own.”
“It was our first time booking this sitter and she was absolutely amazing. She sent me lots of pictures of my dog 🐶 and updates on how she’s doing. She was very quick in responding to my messages and very kind. My girl 🐕 came home the happiest. She had her best time there. I have rebooked this sitter for next month and will 💯 book her again in the near future. Can’t wait for my girl 🐕 go on another staycation at this sitter’s place. Cannot recommend enough. ❤️”
“Jeffrey had such a great time with Pat, we were afraid he might not want to come home! Pat kept us updated with pictures of Jeffrey making himself at home! We were able to leave for two days and one night without one second of worry! Just a wonderful experience for Jeffrey and us!”
“Samona is absolutely wonderful! We were nervous about leaving our dog for 3.5 weeks but she made it so easy! Our dog took a while to warm up to the other dogs so she made sure she was watching them closely when they were together, while also allowing him to have his own outdoor time. Our dog loved the huge yard and all the toys they had (including the drone)! Plus, we got numerous updates (more than I have ever gotten from any other Rover) which made us so happy. I cannot wait to drop my pup back with Samona!”
“It was obvious during the meet and greet when I introduced my 3 dogs to Rebecca that they were going to be in good hands! Rebecca loves dogs and it shows. My dogs took to her right away, and I know I will book with her again! I’m extremely grateful to Rebecca for the peace of mind she gave me, and for providing me with updates and pictures during their stay with her.”
“A great family atmosphere She was treated like one of their own their own Annabelle came back not having lost weight , not anxious or skittish - she got right back into our routine Would definitely use Denise’s services again”
“Outstanding!!, Patricia and her husband were very kind and welcoming to our fur baby, she sent updates with pictures and that was much appreciated. We will definitely use them again”
“Cecily was our first dog sitter, and she exceeded our expectations with our 4 month old lab. She sent pix and was in constant communication about his updates. Adonis loved her and had a pleasant first time interaction with her other dogs as well. He didn't want to leave when it was time to go! Cecily is now my dog sitting go to!”
