“Bob and his wife took very good care of our fur babies. When we picked them up post our trip both seemed content and happy. Desi was lounging on the sofa and Hunter seemed to be happy roaming around his vacation environment. We will definitely use Bob for future Dog Vacations.”
“Lorrie watched my two pups for 4 days the second week of April. It was apparent from our initial meeting in March that she really loves animals and that she knows her stuff. Lorrie indicated that her previous career was a veterinary technician for many years, which put my mind at ease. Her home is set up perfectly to attend to the needs of the dogs in her care. The home features a large, fenced in yard which allows dogs to get their outdoor time several times a day. She sent me daily text updates which included photos of my dogs. Being 600 miles away, the daily updates were very much appreciated. When I picked up my pups they were happy, healthy and they both gave her farewell kisses. Nice! I highly recommend Lorrie to anyone considering a pet sitter while you are out of town.”
“Billy was wonderful with my girl April. She had friends to play with, plenty of cuddle time and walks. Would definitely board her with him in the future. Daily pics helped to see how happy she was.”
“What a relief to find Vincent who was able to board our German Shepherd mix while we went away for almost a week. He sent us updates and we were happy our pet wasn’t alone. He was safe and got along with their beautiful lab mix-Scarlett. Thank you Vincent!”
“Second time leaving our 1 year old golden with them. Definitely trust Paul, very accommodating and alleviated our anxiety of leaving our dog for a few nights. Will definitely use again.”
“Michelle and her family are awesome taking care of our beagle. Communication with her is fast and easy. We recommend her and would board our beagle with her again in the future!”
“Sarah is a godsend. We had out-of-town guests coming for a visit and our plans were solidified; our usual sitter had an unexpected engagement, leaving us scrambling to find someone to watch our rescue beagle, Sherlock. Our poor pup had a very rough start and has severe separation anxiety, and since we summer in our condo in Highlands, he cannot be left alone, or he will howl incessantly with his unnerving high shriek of terror (poor boy). We searched on Rover for days, and then we found Sarah. She responded quickly to our inquiry. Yay! Now, I’ve been a customer on Rover for years (with our previous beagle), and Sarah had to be the utmost diligent. She requested proof of shots, she provided a detailed questionnaire for us to fill out before meeting Sherlock and we had a lengthy phone conversation about his needs/habits/schedule, etc. Thorough indeed, which I wholeheartedly appreciate because my pet is one of my favorite family members! Once at Sarah’s house, she was kind, loving, provided Sherlock with toys, a safe space to relax, and sent several updates and photos. She followed my instructions for feeding and bathroom/walking outings. We felt sooooo at ease that we could actually peacefully enjoy time with our guests. I am already planning our next extended outing, due to the diligence, care, professionalism and security Sarah provided. And, unlike some other sitters we’ve experienced, she promptly responds and is a clear communicator. Do not hesitate to leave your beloved pet with Sarah.”
“Erick was absolutely amazing with my two dogs! I have a fairly lazy dog, and a very high energy lab who just over a year old and she can be a handful! Erick sent me pictures and videos regularly, assuring me that my babies were fine. The resident dogs were super friendly, even snuggling with my two. When I picked them up they seemed like they had made themselves right at home. Erick is fabulous and wonderful people to work with! We will definitely be back.”
“I highly recommend Shelly! She was so amazing with the boys and incredibly accommodating when we had an unexpected change to our plans . We were sent lots of pictures and videos of their stay everyday. My dogs looked so happy and relaxed at her home ! Plus my dogs smelled amazing when I picked them up ! I am so happy we found her !”
“Kate was an absolutely wonderful host to my 2.5 year old golden retriever. Throughout the weekend I received many written and picture updates, which were so very appreciated. I returned to pick my dog up and found her very happy, very well taken care of, and very tired from a weekend playing at the beach! I highly recommend Kate!”
“Leaving our beagle Maxine with Stephanie was a great decision for us.. We picked her up a little later than end of day, and Stephanie was flexible enough to accommodate us . Will definitely keep using Stephanie for future dog sitting needs”
“Let me start by saying that my dogs have never been away from home, so I left two of them with Michael as a short-term test. (2 nights) Lucy, who weighs about 5 lbs, was just fine—she rolls with the punches. Mac, who weighs about 20 lbs, on the other hand, was more of a challenge. Michael took wonderful care of both, giving Mac the extra attention he needed. Michael handled him with patience and care. I’d trust him with them anytime! I would gladly trust them with Michael again—if he’ll have them!”
“Nervana and her family were wonderful with our 2 dogs. We used her for a full week while we went away on vacation. She was super communicative, giving us updates with pictures and videos daily. Our dogs were very happy and it was obvious she provided a caring and loving environment for them. Would 100% recommend Nervana.... :)”
“We wanted to find a sitter in our neighborhood for when we are away. Jane was amazing and took in Siuy as though she was hers. I received constant communications and photos and loved how Siuy and Fancy zoomied with each other. My hope is that Jane would be willing to look after Siuy the next time we are away. I don’t think I can trust another sitter!”
“Willian was amazing with my dog, Frisco! He gave him so much care and attention, and I could tell Frisco was happy and comfortable the whole time. I really appreciated the updates and photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. Frisco came home relaxed and well taken care of. I’ll definitely be booking with Willian again — highly recommend!”

I have a big fenced yard where your pup is able to run around freely, and a cute little cute friendly Yorkie to keep your pup company.
“Dawn is warm, communicative, reliable, and thorough. I immediately knew my boys were in good and safe hands. Love the updates and pictures, and effort to meet my boys’ very particular dietary needs. She goes above and beyond to take good care and ease our minds while we’re away from home, and travel is now a lot less stressful for us.”
“Oh my gosh…Alex is absolutely the best!! We were gone for almost 3 weeks and leaving our shelter cat for the first time. Alex made us feel so at ease and provided the best care. Communicate was A+++. I truly think Olivia is going to miss her visits!!”

“Do not hesitate is hire Kathy! She is reliable, TRUSTWORTHY and my Poptart's new friend for life! Kathy stayed at our house for few nights while we were out of town hosting our daughter's wedding and Kathy took the greatest care of my furry buddy. I am currently planning my next trip and Kathy will be the one I call to stay and care for our beloved Poptart!”
About: I’m on Rover to help you out with any / all your pets needs while you’re away! I work full time as a behaviorist in a public school. I have experience with senior cats requiring medication as well. I know how important it is that cats get individualized time and snacks, they require just as much attention as dogs. When I leave my cats with someone, it’s nerve wracking that they might not spend time with them. I’d love it if you let me love your pets as if they are my own too! Thank you for reading this.
“Lisa is first and foremost an amazing friendly and professional pet sitter! When my cats and I met her to go over instructions during our meet and greet, I knew my cats were going to be in great and caring hands. Lisa took an interest in my cats likes and dislikes, took notes on the particularity of their feeding and routines, and asked pertinent questions to better understand their needs. The visit updates and photos were great and made me feel at ease being away from them, and I came home to happy cats that were well cared for and would not hesitate to ask Lisa to watch over them again!”
“Kelly has been helping me with my two small dogs, Gigi and Roxie. She is very loving towards them while handling feeding, pee pad cleanup, and whatever else they may need while I am out of town.”
About: I’ve always had dogs throughout my whole life. And I also spent 3 years working at a doggy daycare working with all kinds of breeds, ages, and sizes! I am a full time student who’s off for the summer and also looking to fill in the gaps between classes during the semester for some extra money. I have very open availability throughout the entire week! I am very experienced with reactive dogs, friendly dogs, along with dog body language and behavior.

About: With over six years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve worked for three pet sitting companies, the MCSPCA, and at the same kennel twice. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and countless other animals—big and small—with love, patience, and reliability. Growing up surrounded by animals shaped my deep passion for their well-being, and I’m committed to treating every pet like family. 💞🐾 Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine, as I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule. That means I have plenty of time and energy to dedicate to your pet. I'm available for dog walking and drop-in visits during the week and weekends, and I’m happy to help with holiday or last-minute bookings. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely love, so this never feels like “work” to me—it’s something I look forward to every day!! :) I grew up with dogs and have been surrounded by animals for most of my life, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. While I don’t offer in-home boarding, I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. I always follow instructions carefully, prioritize safety, and strive to make every visit calm, fun, and stress-free. Whether it’s a big, energetic pup or a shy senior cat, I have experience with pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities ♥︎
About: Friends and family had trust their furry member to me for 5 years.

Cats: give them food, water, clean litter box, play with cat fishing pole to excersise them and have fun. Also lots of hugs, if they like it.
About: I've always loved spending time with cats and enjoy playing with them whenever I visit friends and family who have them. While I haven't owned a cat myself, I'm patient, gentle, and committed to following your cat's routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. As a special education teacher, I'm attentive to individual needs and understand that every pet has their own personality. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, quiet companionship, or simply having someone check in while you're away, I'll make sure they receive plenty of care, affection (on their terms!), and regular updates so you can have peace of mind.
“Iwona dropped by to feed our baby while we were out of town for several days and was prompt each day with her reports. She also came by for a pre-visit to get our key and meet the kitty :)”
About: I am a college student and have experience with little and big dogs. I have been a pet owner for a majority of my life. I have watched dogs for my friends, family members, and neighbors, while they are away for a short period or extended time periods . I have assisted owners with potty training and continue with the same commands and rules of their home with their fur baby. I am very trust worthy and responsible. I love all dogs and have the knowledge to take care of your babies while you are away. I have 2 fur babies of my own at home so I spend a lot of time in my daily life with them. All of my friends, family, and neighbors have dogs so I am constantly around or taking care of them. I have a fenced in yard and two pups of my own. I also have a crate easily accessible if need be. I have lots of doggy toys. I prefer not to have other dogs at my house since I do have a puppy and another very old dog. I maintain a clean dog safe environment to ensure the safety of all pups and avoid situations.

“Alley took amazing care of our dog Libby. She was communicative and thoughtful. She gave Libby puzzle toys and lick mats for some stimulation while it was too cold to play outside. Would highly recommend”
About: Hi there! Although I only recently reactivated this app, caring for dogs is nothing new to me. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up with herding breeds. I raised my beloved Border Collie, Zoey (see Gallery), from puppyhood through adulthood. She has since crossed the 🌈 bridge, but during her life I taught her fun commands like “take a bow” and “play dead.” My goal is to provide dogs of all ages with a fun, safe, clean, and secure environment that is free from hazards—while giving their owners complete peace of mind. ⸻ Today, I own a longhaired male Dachshund named Moose. He loves other dogs, is up to date on his core vaccines, and is currently unneutered. Because of him, I have firsthand experience with the unique care that long-bodied breeds require, including proper handling techniques and back protection. I’ve also cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am American Red Cross Certified in Dog First Aid 🐾 and have experience caring for medical dogs who require a little extra attention. My prior Border Collie, Zoey, was dog-reactive and medically disabled (she was completely blind in one eye), so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and adapting care to a dog’s individual needs. ⸻ I am home throughout the day and will provide plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship for your pup. The house sits on a fairly quiet street in close proximity to the Belford Ferry, making it especially convenient for NYC commuters. *********** For clients interested in doggy daycare or boarding, dogs will enjoy a securely fenced backyard for supervised potty breaks and outdoor play, as well as an indoor doggy playpen located on the main living level of the home (see Gallery). The playpen is stocked with a rotating assortment of toys and enrichment activities for your pup to enjoy, and dogs also have access to the adjacent hardwood-floor living area. *********** To help keep all of our furry friends healthy and safe, proof of core vaccinations is required (except for young puppies), and all dogs must be on a flea and tick preventative. Clients are welcome to bring a crate, favorite bed, blanket, or other comfort items from home. Baby gates are installed on the stairs for added safety, and walks may be added to daycare or boarding services for an additional fee. *********** At this time, I accept one client (which can include multiple dogs) at a time, though multiple same-day clients can work if all parties are in agreement. This allows me to provide individualized attention, maintain a calm, low-stress environment, and tailor my care to each dog’s unique needs. I closely supervise all dog interactions and also have partitioned rooms, to easily keep dogs separated when needed (Moose also has a separate space for meals, naps, etc.). At night, your pup will have the playpen all to themselves for a peaceful night’s sleep (or a crate if you prefer). The playpen is also monitored with a baby monitor for an extra layer of safety. ⸻ My goal is to make drop-off as simple and stress-free as possible. If you’d prefer to simply drop off your pup, I’ve got the essentials covered! Of course, you’re always welcome to bring your dog’s own food, crate, favorite blanket, toys, or any comfort items if you’d like. *********** What’s Included with Daycare & Boarding: • Premium name-brand kibble, served with filtered water and dog-friendly bone broth • Quality limited-ingredient treats and chews such as turkey tendons, fish skins, bully sticks, etc. • Supervised outdoor potty breaks and playtime in a securely fenced yard • Indoor enrichment activities, including frozen lick mats and puzzle toys • Access to a variety of toys, blankets, and beds • Daily photo updates for peace of mind 😊 ⸻ I am home during the day; during our initial consult meeting, I will coordinate with you to find pickup and drop-off times that work. 🐾 We can go over any quirks and routines that you like to do for your pup to ease separation anxiety (such as leaving the TV on 😊) to ensure your fur baby feels safe and loved while in my care🐾
“Christina was awesome! It was my first time using a sitter from the rove app and she couldn’t have made the experience any better. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup there all day! She truly was amazing, she sent photos, videos, and updates throughout the day which made me believe my pup was in great hands and indeed she was. When I got to Christina’s house to pick up my dog she did not want to leave haha, will definitely be back!”
“Dawn is the best! Benny is our first ever pup as a family, so we were very nervous leaving him for the first time overnight, but Dawn took care of our dog with exceptional care and love. Communication was great from the start. She is responsive, provides regular updates, sends adorable photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away from him, and even gave our puppy a bone to play with that helped with his teething problem. It’s clear that she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals, especially ours ☺️ and we will definitely be using her services again in the future. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Bella had a great time at Jamie's, running in her nice grassy backyard. I really appreciate that Jamie was able to watch Bella while we went to the beach, and was very flexible about the drop off and pickup. And cute photos and videos are great!”
“Michael was absolutely great with my 2 month old lab. He was accommodating to my last minute day care need, and Beaver definitely enjoyed his time with him as he came home and went right for a nice nap. I will definitely be using him again for my little guy.”
“jennifer was amazing ! she was super nice and responsive from the minute i first messaged her. she made me feel really comfortable and updated me all throughout the day. jack seemed to have a really good time playing with other pups and came home tired but happy. will definitely be booking again (:”
“Kevin was fantastic to work with! He was communicative, respectful, conscientious of my needs, accommodating, and frankly such a caring individual. He helped me plan an out of state visit, was flexible concerning the timing, and best of all tired out my dog by the end of the trip. I would absolutely book with Kevin again!”
About: I've been an animal lover my whole life and treat every pet as if they were my own. I had the time of my life with my sweet girl, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge last year. She filled my life with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories, and caring for her was one of the greatest privileges of my life. As a special education teacher, I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet's unique personality and needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or relaxing with company, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I'll follow their routine closely and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in caring hands. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits very well into my routine, especially since I’m currently off for the summer. This gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with pets. During the school year, I have a structured schedule as a special education teacher, which still allows me to be available in the mornings, afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. I’m organized and reliable, and I make sure each pet gets consistent care, attention, and time without feeling rushed. I care for every pet like they’re my own and always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine so they feel secure in their familiar environment. I pay close attention to details like feeding instructions, walks, medications, and any special needs. Safety is always my top priority, I make sure doors are secure, pets are properly leashed outside, and they’re never left unattended during visits. I also treat your home with respect and care, leaving everything clean and just as I found it. My goal is to build trust through reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. 🐾
“Nervana was quick to respond and very accommodating. Apollo was tired when he got home (exactly what I wanted) - she took him on a nice walk! Thank you Nervana. I highly recommend her and I would absolutely drop Apollo off again”
About: Hi! I have loved dogs my entire life and grew up around them. For the past three years, I have been raising my own dog and have gained valuable experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I am home for most of the day, which allows me to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention. All pet care, including feeding, walking, potty breaks, and monitoring, is personally handled by me. I have experience caring for puppies and understand that every dog is unique. Some dogs may be energetic, shy, anxious, or still learning good habits. I am patient and willing to work with each dog’s individual personality and routine. I currently have a friendly and playful Shiba Inu puppy who enjoys meeting other dogs. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your dog feels at home while you’re away. Please let me know about your dog’s routines, preferences, medical needs, or anything that helps them feel comfortable. I will do my best to make their stay enjoyable and stress-free. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m home for most of the day, so I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention and supervision. I have a fenced backyard and a playful shiba inu to keep your fur baby company. Because I already care for my own dog, feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping a clean environment are all built into my schedule.

However, if your pet prefers their own space or needs a quiet nap, I have a dedicated separate room where they can rest, recharge, and enjoy some peaceful time away from the pack. - Constant Supervision: Because this is my full-time focus, your pet receives dedicated, watchful supervision, plenty of companionship, and immediate attention to their emotional and physical needs. ------ The Bottom Line on Trust I am fully committed to open communication. You will receive regular, detailed updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I manage safety with a professional eye and deliver care with a mother's heart.
About: Hi, I’m Lauren! I was a proud dog mom to two amazing girl dogs until recently, and I truly miss the joy of caring for a dog. While my family isn’t ready to have another of our own just yet, I’d love to help others by spending time with their furry family members. When I was young, I worked as a Seeing Eye Dog trainer, which gave me years of experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with everything from playful puppies to older companions who just want a calm walk and a cuddle. Whether you need drop-ins, walks, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pup feels loved, safe, and right at home while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule. Typcailly I work from home on Wednesdays and always Fridays. On the work from home days, I don't start until 10AM so I am free in the mornings and will take my lunch for the afternoon walks. In our home, we have an enclosed deck. Gate if needed to avoid the stairs. Nothing on the ground to chew. Pet free home. In other homes, I am always wondering where the pup is. I ensure to keep a close eye if they tend to be a trouble maker.
“We had such anxiety leaving all 4 fur babies home while traveling in Germany for 12 days. Dawn took amazing care of everyone. She played with them, showed affection, was reliable and timely. We received updates with photos daily and felt very confident Stella, Luna, Munchkin and Tink were in good hands. Trust me not everyone could have handled our dogs. Stella (2 1/2 yrs old) and Luna (9 months) are a handful. Endless energy. We highly recommend Dawn to care for your fur babies too.”
“Leigh was able to help us at the last minute. She took such good care of our dog Sadie. We were able to communicate with her while we were away. And she sent us pictures. So grateful for her!”

About: For the past 5 years, I’ve had a yellow labrador retriever named Hazel who is very energetic and playful. She’s my best friend! I’ve done house drop ins for friends and family for both dogs and cats to check in and take care of them. 💗 I currently work as a part-time before/aftercare teacher at a couple different elementary schools. I work Monday-Friday but have availability from 9:30am-2:30pm and after 6 pm. My weekends are free! I help my family feed our dog and provide her with water.

She’s a cuddler when she’s tired so we snuggle on the couch or play tug of war inside 😊

I specialize in creating a calm, loving environment, especially for dogs and cats who get a little nervous or anxious. Whether it's a leisurely walk or a cozy day of companionship, your pet will feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I treat every animal like my own, because that's the only way I know how I currently do not work and I would like to use this time to bond with pets and make lasting connections. I enjoy this type of activity and should be open most days of the week. I am meticulous and always follow all directions. I have gotten some pretty thorough briefings on pets before and then glowing reviews afterward. Pets feel safe and comfortable with me and I’m happy to provide extra reassurances to the pet parents as well.
“Michael is amazing! Contacted him about walking our pups. He responded within an hour and set up a meet and greet. When walking our pups he provided many details about the walk as well as pictures. We will definitely have him walk our pups again. Great experience”

I have very open availability throughout the entire week! I am very experienced with reactive dogs, friendly dogs, along with dog body language and behavior. I will be able to keep your dog safe throughout their walks/visits/sleepovers using these skills and the information provided about them!
“We just started using Samantha after moving to Shrewsbury from the city and she has been great! We are so relieved we have someone we can count on to take care of our dog while we are in NYC for work! She makes it so easy and we know our Tosh is in great hands.”
“Iwona was excellent with Ein, my dog, and also a great communicator. She was able to do a last minute walk and really got me out of a jam, and was super fast at responding to my inquiry. My dog was happy! I'd happily book her again!”

About: I am a college student and have experience with little and big dogs. I have been a pet owner for a majority of my life. I have watched dogs for my friends, family members, and neighbors, while they are away for a short period or extended time periods . I have assisted owners with potty training and continue with the same commands and rules of their home with their fur baby. I am very trust worthy and responsible. I love all dogs and have the knowledge to take care of your babies while you are away. I have 2 fur babies of my own at home so I spend a lot of time in my daily life with them. All of my friends, family, and neighbors have dogs so I am constantly around or taking care of them. I have a fenced in yard and two pups of my own. I also have a crate easily accessible if need be. I have lots of doggy toys. I prefer not to have other dogs at my house since I do have a puppy and another very old dog. I maintain a clean dog safe environment to ensure the safety of all pups and avoid situations.
“Christina has been absolutely fabulous. She is super responsive and extremely responsible but more than anything she’s great with my fur baby. It’s incredible that she is able to sense my dogs energy from just interacting with him. Overall Christina has been just so helpful and provides us with a peace of mind when we’re not home.”

“Lorrie watched my two pups for 4 days the second week of April. It was apparent from our initial meeting in March that she really loves animals and that she knows her stuff. Lorrie indicated that her previous career was a veterinary technician for many years, which put my mind at ease. Her home is set up perfectly to attend to the needs of the dogs in her care. The home features a large, fenced in yard which allows dogs to get their outdoor time several times a day. She sent me daily text updates which included photos of my dogs. Being 600 miles away, the daily updates were very much appreciated. When I picked up my pups they were happy, healthy and they both gave her farewell kisses. Nice! I highly recommend Lorrie to anyone considering a pet sitter while you are out of town.”
“Billy was wonderful with my girl April. She had friends to play with, plenty of cuddle time and walks. Would definitely board her with him in the future. Daily pics helped to see how happy she was.”
“What a relief to find Vincent who was able to board our German Shepherd mix while we went away for almost a week. He sent us updates and we were happy our pet wasn’t alone. He was safe and got along with their beautiful lab mix-Scarlett. Thank you Vincent!”
“Second time leaving our 1 year old golden with them. Definitely trust Paul, very accommodating and alleviated our anxiety of leaving our dog for a few nights. Will definitely use again.”
“Erick was absolutely amazing with my two dogs! I have a fairly lazy dog, and a very high energy lab who just over a year old and she can be a handful! Erick sent me pictures and videos regularly, assuring me that my babies were fine. The resident dogs were super friendly, even snuggling with my two. When I picked them up they seemed like they had made themselves right at home. Erick is fabulous and wonderful people to work with! We will definitely be back.”
“I highly recommend Shelly! She was so amazing with the boys and incredibly accommodating when we had an unexpected change to our plans . We were sent lots of pictures and videos of their stay everyday. My dogs looked so happy and relaxed at her home ! Plus my dogs smelled amazing when I picked them up ! I am so happy we found her !”
“Kate was an absolutely wonderful host to my 2.5 year old golden retriever. Throughout the weekend I received many written and picture updates, which were so very appreciated. I returned to pick my dog up and found her very happy, very well taken care of, and very tired from a weekend playing at the beach! I highly recommend Kate!”
“Leaving our beagle Maxine with Stephanie was a great decision for us.. We picked her up a little later than end of day, and Stephanie was flexible enough to accommodate us . Will definitely keep using Stephanie for future dog sitting needs”
“Nervana and her family were wonderful with our 2 dogs. We used her for a full week while we went away on vacation. She was super communicative, giving us updates with pictures and videos daily. Our dogs were very happy and it was obvious she provided a caring and loving environment for them. Would 100% recommend Nervana.... :)”
“Willian was amazing with my dog, Frisco! He gave him so much care and attention, and I could tell Frisco was happy and comfortable the whole time. I really appreciated the updates and photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. Frisco came home relaxed and well taken care of. I’ll definitely be booking with Willian again — highly recommend!”
“So grateful for Dawn! She kept our energetic 1 yr old golden very happy and safe during our 10 day vacation. It was so fun to get daily check in videos and see what he was up to. Highly recommend her”
“Deena was so great with our Ludlow! She sent lots of photos and updates, and was very thorough with everything. I knew Ludlow was in great hands and seemed to have a lot of fun playing with Deena’s sweet dog also. Would certainly book again!”
About: In 2025 I decided to go full time and start my own pet care business. I am fully bonded & insured! I love all animals but the anxious ones are really where I shine. I will meet your pet where they’re at. I’m Canine + Feline CPR & first aid certified, I have previous experience from working in a grooming salon (not a groomer though!) and am serious about continuing education— I’ve pursued additional certifications as well as a dog training apprenticeship and continue to do so. Additionally, I run an in-home daycare for small dogs. I have an employee who helps me with this and is trained to the same standards. Please reach out with any questions. Since making the full-time pivot to pet care, my schedule now has the flexibility fit around the needs of your pets. For walks, our walk doesn't officially "START" until your dogs paws hit the pavement! Your dog gets the full 30 minutes with no corners cut. This is true for all of my services. I will care for them like they are my own dogs— their safety is my top priority, and I know how difficult the transition can be for pups when their parents are gone and will do everything in my power to make that easier for them.

“Loves dogs. Did great with Eddie. We were on vacation and booked a night of boarding so we could go into the city. Figured out what he liked. Great updates throughout the day. Very clean home. I’d board him with her again. Wish she lived closer to us in Ohio.”
“I needed a last minute sitter and decided to go with Cherish. She was super accommodating and took amazing care of my baby. I received updates, pictures and videos of my guy. I will be booking again with her. Thank you so much!”
