I will definitely be a return customer.”
“Hedra was an awesome sitter for our cat Haru! He followed all of the instructions we left behind, he loved playing with and spending time with Haru, and he regularly sent us updates about what our cat was up to. Haru also got on especially well with his cat Gabby, as another fellow chill cat.”
About: I have cared for puppies, as well as adult dogs and aging dogs. I love them all and they all sense it when I meet them. I am retired, so I have a lot of time and a very flexible schedule. Also, I am up very early in the morning, and like getting an early start. I have a partially fenced yard, so would be more comfortable with your dog n a leash or inside the house if at my home.

“Thomas was a wonderful sitter and treated Zoey like she was her owner. We felt very comfortable leaving her there over the weekend. So sad he can’t watch her for our next trip.”
“Carol watched our Hansel for 3 days/2 nights. We were impressed from our initial meet & greet at Carol's neat, organized home. Her demeanor and experience indicated that she would provide excellent care for our pet. We received daily updates including photos that all was well, and Hansel was being his usual sweet self. At pick-up we found our boy happy, and ready to go home - we are confident he had an excellent experience with Carol. We are happy to have Carol as a resource for our future pet sitting needs.”
“Jessica was very friendly and caring. Our Winnie seemed to settle in quickly and take to Jessica quite easily which was great to see. She kept us updated with a nice post & picture regularly.”

Remi would love to keep your pup company! I have the room to have your dog set up however they need. If your pup is crate trained, I have a spare one to set up for them with all the comfy things needed to put in it. I have lots of treats and toys for pups to play with and a safe, dog-friendly neighborhood to walk them in.
“Cara is very caring and an excellent communicator. She has a neat, clean home & a very friendly small dog who readily accepted our 24lb cockapoo. When we returned to her home after the Meet & Greet, our pooch was happily whining & immediately laid on the floor & stretched wagging his tail. He was thoroughly happy when we retrieved him several days later, Cara even cleaned his ears when she saw he had ear discomfort, Highly recommend her.”
“We were nervous about leaving Sammie with someone we didn’t know, but when we did the meet and greet with Tina we knew she was the right person to watch Sammie. She answered all our questions, asked good questions, and she genuinely wanted to make sure Sammie would have the best stay while in her care. We received updates on Sammie’s walks, cuddle time, and if she was eating her food. We also received pictures of Sammie which put a smile on our faces. We were reassured that we had made the right choice. We would absolutely work with Tina again. 😊”

“Shoshana was excellent taking care of my cat for a month. When I arrived my cat was healthy and happy. She provided me constant updates and pictures and was always easy to connect.”
“We were in a bind when our regular cat sitter had to cancel last minute due to illness, and Kerri stepped in immediately. She was incredibly responsive, reliable, and took full responsibility from the start, which gave us such peace of mind. Her communication was excellent throughout, and she handled everything seamlessly on short notice. Most impressively, our two very timid cats actually came out to greet her — something that almost never happens! We’re so grateful to have found Kerri and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again. Highly recommend!”
About: As a retired professional, I bring reliability, patience, and a calm presence to every walk. I’ve been a dog owner of two large breeds and one small breed. I have hands-on experience with doodle breeds and their unique personalities. I understand the importance of safety and health. I’ve cared for dogs with medical needs, so I’m comfortable with monitoring, medications, and giving extra attention when needed. Whether your dog loves a brisk walk, a gentle stroll, or some extra cuddles along the way, I treat every pup like family because that’s what they are. As a recently retired police officer, I currently work part-time so my hours are flexible and will have plenty of time for your fur babies. I will treat your home as if it were my own. I will safely walk your dog on leash, and can easily crate your dog, if need be.
“When we had our initial meet & greet I knew Rachel would be the ideal person to watch our cats! Her enthusiasm & love of animals was clearly evident! We would not hesitate to have Rachel watch our cats again, nor recommend her service to anyone else! Thanks again!”
About: I have some experience with cats from assisting with daily care in a group home setting, including feeding and basic care. While I am still building my experience with cats, I am comfortable learning each cat’s routine and following instructions closely to ensure they are safe and well cared for.
“As always Madison was amazing and took wonderful care of my cat. She is always on time and sends me the cutest shots of him. I HIGHLY recommend her!! Thank you again!!”
About: Believe it or not, I'm actually a cat person, despite my connection with my two current dogs, Puppy (yes, her name is Puppy) and Dante. But I've also had cats all my life. First was Tiana, who was old, but never slow, and she liked the peace and quiet. She also needed medicine daily and I helped administer it to her, of course. Maya and Luna were next. Luna came from an abandoned home and we took her in after visiting her constantly and building trust with her before she hopped in the car to finally come home. Maya was a calico, possiblr the sweetest breed, and she used to sit on my homework to make me pet her, even though she was no short of receiving love! Tommy (the cat in the photo) and Winter were next. Uncle and nephew, respectively, they sometimes fought but learned to tolerate each other through slow introductions, a watchful eye, and at times separation when necessary. They were very loving, though, under all those spikey hairs. I remember taking them in as kittens, and sitting with them as they meowed throughout the first nights while they got used to the big house. Both acted the exact same, ironically. Truly family, no? Cats may not need as much attention as others but I will be watchful and mindful of yours at all times, administer medicine properly and as instructed when needed, and always feed on time as well as clean up after them! I never punish a cat for the mess it makes as well. No one should! All it takes is patience to simply clean up and move on.
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and truly love their unique personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their cats while away, from playful kittens to shy senior cats. As a nurse, I’m naturally attentive, patient, and detail-oriented, and I’ll always make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.
About: I have worked in the animal care field for the past 14 years. I have worked with exotic, domestic, and laboratory animals through my career as a zookeeper and animal care technician. I love dogs and even work part time at a doggy daycare and boarding facility - making sure your furry best friend is well taken care and feels safe and loved is something I’m very passionate about. I've had multiple dogs, cats, and small mammals as pets since I was born. I am an experienced animal trainer and have experience giving animals oral and subcutaneous medications. Currently I have two Siberian Huskies who are very well trained and socialized. I love to take them hiking and to doggy daycare where I work so they can play. They are part of my family and I promise to care for your dog like it's my own! We just moved to the area so I am looking to add in some part time work while my kids are at school or other times throughout the week. I have a large fenced in yard with 2 sweet senior huskies and 2 boys that love dogs! If I need to care for your pet at your home, I promise to leave it as I found it and clean up after your fur baby. They will be safe and loved with me.
“I am so thankful and appreciative for the care Mary and Ginny provided to my two cats. This was the first time we needed to find care for them and I couldn’t have been happier with finding Mary and Ginny. They made me feel completely at ease with leaving them behind and I know that they loved them the same way we do. One of our cats needs medicine and it felt like such an inconvenience to ask someone to take on that responsibility, but Ginny and Mary made me feel so much better about the situation and I am so thankful to them for that. Thank you again Ginny and Mary. It meant the world to me to know they were okay while we were gone 💕”
“Alexis was amazing! My cat Precious had no issues and I was glad to receive daily update photos on her status. She was great at handling her food and made sure Precious received adequate attention. Alexis definitely came through for a long week of drop-ins while my partner and I were away. Highly recommend!”
“Rodney took great care of our dogs while we were away on only a few hours notice after our original sitter had to cancel. He took the time to call us beforehand to ask about how to care for our dogs and kept us updated throughout our trip. We’ll definitely be giving him a call next time we are away!”

About: I’ve had multiple pets throughout my life whom I loved and took care of well through all stages of their lives.

“Timothy is hands down the best dog walker Ollie has had. He takes him on actual walks, gives him so much care and attention, and Ollie absolutely loves him. He gets excited every time he hears Timothy is coming! The trust piece is huge for me, and I fully trust Timothy with Ollie. Highly recommend.”
“Lisa was great! She sent daily pictures and updates of each visit making sure that Jebu was fed, watered, comfortable and given snacks/treats. Lisa treated Jebu like he was her own. Lisa let me know that she was bringing my delivered packages inside - she was there for the pooch but also took care of me. I felt so comfortable knowing that every was running smoothly back at home while I was out of town. I will definitely be booking Lisa again in the near future.”

“I can’t express in words the amazing job Shoshana did. I never heard of Rover before and wanted to try it out. Shoshana came out early just to meet my dog so they could know each other. Shoshana came to walk her for the booking and treated my dog like she was her own. Her love and affection for an animal that is not hers is unbelievable. I only wish I knew about Shoshana sooner. I look forward to the next time I can use her service because I know my dog is in good hands with her.”

About: I've had pets all my life and been incredibly responsible about them since I was small. Dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles 🐶🐈⬛️🦎 are all in my pet sitting repetoire from personal experience growing up! Currently I have two dogs, one small shih-tzu 🤍terrier and one large German Shepherd 🐕 that get along great. As you can see in-home boarding at my house will be unavailable because of this. I am open to very quick notice sits as long as they do not conflict with my primary job, which is as a restaurant server in a pizza place! 🍕 I will always feed on time 🥣, take pets out to go safely and on a leash or in a fenced area, administer medicine 💊 properly, as instructed and when needed, and accomodate for any other methods of care your pet is used to in order to make them feel comfortable and build a bond! I'm taking care of them, after all -- they deserve someone they'll get to know! If you need someone reliable, intelligent and passionate about animals then look no further. You've found your pet sitter for life! I'm working part-time as a restaurant server as I mentioned before. My schedule is posted monthly so I will have plenty of time in advance to know whether or not your pet can receive my care! And I have not much else going on otherwise in terms of availability. In your home I would be respectful of all assets and living spaces, as well as supervise the pets to make sure they don't cause trouble. If they do I have open communication at all times and would of course clean up after them as well! I feed and take them out or clean up after them regularly, and of course every animal is different so we will discuss what times every animal is used to and fit them in to the boarding schedule! For walks, feeds, or medication through drop-ins we would discuss a schedule as well, be it weekly, daily, or whatever you need.

About: My name is Cassie and I’m a veterinary student and previous vet tech. I work with animals on a daily basis so I have experience with all sorts of animals, but especially dog and horses. I have worked as a vet tech since undergrad, interned at the Six Flags Great Adventure Safari with the veterinarian, and have been a horseback riding instructor/trainer for the last 8 years. I always put the animal first and am willing to provide extra care to make them the most comfortable, healthy, and happy they can be. I’m currently in school but live only 10 minutes away from campus so I can easily make it back for breaks and walks during the day as I normally do with my own dog. I also have two horses who are dog friendly so if you would like, your dog would be able to come to the yard and come for hacks with Whisky and my horses! I have a fenced in garden and am close to the Pentlands so I can provide hikes, but also regularly go to the beach with my puppy so I would also be happy to take them there. I am able to provide grooming services including baths and nail trims for an additional cost. As for house sitting, I am very tidy and take care of other's houses as if they were my own. I will also happily clean if needed, etc.

“Jenn provided the best care for our recently adopted french bulldog, Dr. Pepper. She kept intouch with me all weekend and sent lots of pictures. He seemed to really enjoy his stay with Jenn and her family. I would highly recommend her and we will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Corrine was great with both of our dogs when we went away on vacation. She always sent pictures everyday and told us how they were doing. She really helped us out and took our Cavapoo last minute when we had someone back out on us. We found our forever pet sitter.”
“Christine was absolutely wonderful with Lilly during her 3-night stay! She was so diligent about sending regular updates and pictures, which gave me total peace of mind. She treated her as her own and Lilly looked so happy in every photo and came home calm and relaxed. Christine genuinely cares for pets, and I highly recommend her! I will definitely be a return customer.”
“Hedra was an awesome sitter for our cat Haru! He followed all of the instructions we left behind, he loved playing with and spending time with Haru, and he regularly sent us updates about what our cat was up to. Haru also got on especially well with his cat Gabby, as another fellow chill cat.”
About: I have cared for puppies, as well as adult dogs and aging dogs. I love them all and they all sense it when I meet them. I am retired, so I have a lot of time and a very flexible schedule. Also, I am up very early in the morning, and like getting an early start. I have a partially fenced yard, so would be more comfortable with your dog n a leash or inside the house if at my home.

“Thomas was a wonderful sitter and treated Zoey like she was her owner. We felt very comfortable leaving her there over the weekend. So sad he can’t watch her for our next trip.”
“Jessica was very friendly and caring. Our Winnie seemed to settle in quickly and take to Jessica quite easily which was great to see. She kept us updated with a nice post & picture regularly.”
“Had a great experience with MJ! She asked lots of questions to get to know my dog for a first time stay and sent lots of updates. I think my dog had a great time with her and would like to stay again!”
“Kali was a great choice, she took great care of our dog( who can be challenging at times) She was a pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.”
“We were nervous about leaving Sammie with someone we didn’t know, but when we did the meet and greet with Tina we knew she was the right person to watch Sammie. She answered all our questions, asked good questions, and she genuinely wanted to make sure Sammie would have the best stay while in her care. We received updates on Sammie’s walks, cuddle time, and if she was eating her food. We also received pictures of Sammie which put a smile on our faces. We were reassured that we had made the right choice. We would absolutely work with Tina again. 😊”
About: Hi! I’m Sarah 🐾 I’ve loved working with dogs for as long as I can remember and have experience with dog walking, hiking, daycare, and basic training support. I’m especially great with high-energy breeds and love making sure every dog gets the exercise, attention, and care they need. Whether your pup loves long walks, outdoor adventures, or just some extra company during the day, I treat every dog like family and focus on creating a safe, fun, and positive experience. 🐶💛 I stoped working as an electrician so that I can work with kids and animals, animals are my passion. I loved working at a farm and my favorite is group hikes Safety is my top priority so I treat every pet like my own and keep the space clean and secure. Sticking to their routine is really important to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free.

“Nicole took such amazing care of our dog Dakota while we were away! We’ve used her twice now, and both times Dakota came home sooo happy. You can really tell Nicole genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. She even recommended a great groomer for Dakota, which we really appreciated. She has a nice backyard, and her kids and dogs are super friendly, so Dakota had plenty of fun and social time while staying there. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Dakota was in such good hands. We highly recommend Nicole — definitely a 5-star experience!”
