We would absolutely recommend M to anyone looking for a wonderful and dependable dog sitter!”
“Anna is such an amazing doggy host. Theo was so adorable and friendly. Her backyard is absolutely perfect. It's huge, wide open, totally fenced in, so much flat grass and even a patio for Reggie to cool off on. Reggie didn't want to leave when we picked him up and when we got home Reggie fell asleep so quick. It was such a relief to find such an amazing host who treated my dog like her own. 5 ⭐️'s all around!!!”

I recommend if you’re looking for a dog sitter or walker! I look forward to using her in the near future.”

“Chelsea took excellent care of our fur baby, so much so that she was a bit sad for a few days missing Poppy and all the extra attention. We felt like she was in vacation while we took ours so we were able to relax knowing she was well taken care of by a family similar to ours. Really appreciated the updates as well. Overall, very happy with our first Rover experience!”

“We had the absolute best experience boarding Buddy with Natasha! From the moment we dropped him off, Natasha made us feel completely comfortable and reassured us that Buddy was going to be well taken care of. It’s not always easy leaving your dog somewhere, but Natasha was so kind, caring, and attentive, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Buddy had such a great time and was treated like part of the family! We could tell he was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention. Natasha was also great with communication, and knowing that Buddy was in such good hands made our trip so much more enjoyable. We are so grateful for the wonderful care she gave Buddy and for treating him with so much love. He was clearly very happy during his stay! We will absolutely be booking with Natasha again in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and responsible to care for their fur baby. Thank you so much, Natasha, for taking such great care of our Buddy! We truly appreciate you!”

I’m happy to fit within your kitty’s routines in order to make them feel the most comfortable while you are away.
“Kim was so amazing and followed instructions well. She watched my cat who I never left with any sitter before and she made me feel extremely comforted leaving my cat lychee with her. She provided detailed rover cards and so many pictures which helps when your away. She was always easy to contact and even came for a meet and greet prior to me leaving lychee with her which was so nice. I would definitely rebook with Kim again she was a perfect pet sitter!”
“Jonathan took care of my 10 cats for a few days while we were on a trip. He did a great job and was able to administer injections to my diabetic cat which was wonderful.

I provide consistent feeding, litter maintenance, enrichment, and gentle companionship tailored to each cat. My calm, patient approach helps even shy or anxious cats build trust and settle in comfortably.
About: I grew up with tons of cats in a farm-like setting. We had a few at home along with some at my family’s business (golf course). It felt like we always had kittens around and were helping them find homes. I was truly blessed always having kitties around. When I was 8, one of our golf course cats tragically got hit by a car so we bottle fed her six newborn kittens. We ended up keeping two as our personal cats who lived until they were about 17. They were well trained indoor/outdoor kitties and even liked hiking with me. I miss them dearly. Cats are truly magical creatures.
“Joanne was great with my kitties. She took care of them for a week. Excellent communication and kind with my cats. I highly recommend her and would definitely book her again! Thank you Joanne for being amazing!💕”

About: Hi! I’m Lindsey, a lifelong animal lover and trained dog care professional based in Madison, NJ 🐾 I am willing to help all over North Jersey! I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently care for my 14-year-old Wheaten Terrier, Dexter, who I’ve had for his entire life! :) I’ve also worked in a professional dog daycare and provided dog walking and pet sitting for multiple families, and I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities! Whether it’s playtime, a walk, helping with meds, or just keeping your pet company, I bring calm, reliable, loving energy to every visit. I’m trained in safe animal handling and committed to keeping your pet happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I also make sure keep pet parents updated with lots of photos and messages for peace of mind. 😊 Can’t wait to meet your fur baby!! I’m a college student at school for my last year! I have a pretty open and available schedule, and I’m available to help you and your furry friend/friends most any time and any day with anything you need :) My profile will have my availability!! I always make sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. When caring for dogs in their home, I’m respectful of the space and always leave it even better than I found it!
“We found Jessica P. when we were in town visiting family and needed to board our pup for the day. Jessica was great — very communicative and easy to work with! She sent plenty of pics to show us that our dog was relaxed and engaged and having a good visit. We would not hesitate to leave our pup with Jessica again for daycare.”
“Max’s stay at Jessica’s was absolutely amazing! His adjustment (well, really our adjustment lol) was so smooth, and we felt very comforted with the updates and seeing our boy so happy and loved. We feel fortunate to have found such a sweet and caring dog sitter, and can’t wait for him to have many more great experiences!”
About: I may not have a professional certification in animal behavior, but what I do have is a deep love for dogs, years of experience caring for my own dog, and a commitment to keeping your pet safe, happy, and loved. I pride myself on being patient, attentive, and dependable. I can implement strict feeding schedules and medications, navigate long walks/hikes, or simply recognize when a dog just needs some quiet companionship. I will treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. You can count on me for regular photo/video updates and the peace of mind that your pet is being treated like family. I am an early riser and have the ability to be very flexible. I had dedicated the past 14 years of my life to caring for my late rescue, and am capable to continue doing so for many more. I live in a two-story, single bedroom condo within an HOA community. I do not have a fenced yard, but I will be able to keep your dog active with many walks and interactions with other dogs. My home is spacious and orderly. I am clean and respectful of other's spaces; I treat it as my own. I am well educated and willing to lend a hand when others are in need of help.
“Doug was great with Molly! She had such a fun time and was totally tired out from her day. He was very friendly and provided updates throughout. He was very flexible with timing as well. We would definitely use him again in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m Hannah, your biggest “animal lover”! I’m a full-time student who works two part-time jobs, one at a doggy daycare that I love every second of! I have hands-on experience supervising dogs of all sizes and energy levels, ensuring they stay safe, happy, and well cared for.

Your baby will be treated like my own — spoiled with attention, responsibly cared for, and given lots of love! 🐾 My availability is the following: • Weekdays — after 3pm! • Weekends — after 2pm! I am a full-time student, so availability during weekdays may differ so please ask any questions beforehand! My work schedules may fluctuate, so please consider booking and contacting me ahead of time! Thank you for understanding :) Walks, playtime, you name it! You and your pups’ well-being is my top priority. I have a friendly pomeranian, Kiwi, at home who has resided with 14+ foster dogs in the past. He, and his pals, are taken on walks throughout the day when needed and are constantly attended to and played with at home. My home has an open yard, so it is essential I keep your pup leashed up for mini potty breaks to prevent any incidents :) I own a crate if needed, extra bedding, and plenty of toys and snacks to keep your puppy happy! 🐶
About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats since I was born, and animals have always been a major part of my life. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to making sure your pet feels comfortable and well-cared-for in your absence. I take the time to follow routines, respect training preferences, and provide a calm, loving environment. I’m also comfortable caring for reptiles and fish, I have a genuine appreciation for animals of all kinds. I am very tidy and maintain a clean and safe space in my home for your pets to thrive in.

“Isabella is absolutely amazing. We have worked with several dog sitters and Isabella is easily the best. She cared for Bambi, played with him and patiently trained him. She sent us a lot of amazing photos and videos. What a wonderful lady! My wife and I are so happy and lucky to find Isabella! Highly recommended!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them and have owned and cared for dogs throughout my entire adult life, so welcoming another pup into my home feels very natural to me. Over the years, I’ve learned that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m comfortable reading their body language, helping nervous or shy dogs settle in, and giving more energetic pups the attention, exercise, and play they need. Most importantly, I treat every dog in my care like I’d want someone to treat my own. I have a dog-friendly home with a large, fully fenced yard, giving your pup plenty of room to safely play, explore, and get some fresh air. I also have my own dog at home, so your pup will be joining an experienced, dog-loving household where caring for dogs is already part of everyday life. Whether your dog loves to play, lounge around the house, follow you everywhere, or do a little bit of everything, my goal is simple: make them feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to be present and attentive throughout the day. Dogs in my care aren’t left alone for long stretches and can enjoy regular potty breaks, time outside in my large fenced yard, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, I can easily adjust my routine around your dog’s normal schedule and needs. Whether they’re happiest relaxing nearby while I work, getting outside frequently, or looking for a little extra play and attention, they’ll have plenty of companionship and won’t just be waiting all day for someone to come home. I want every dog staying with me to feel like they’re part of the family, not just a guest. I do my best to follow their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and of course plenty of attention and affection. My home has a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside throughout the day to play, explore, and burn off some energy. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and comfort level, whether they want lots of activity and interaction or simply a comfortable place to relax. Safety is always a priority, especially when introducing dogs to a new environment and to my own dog. I supervise interactions, give dogs the time and space they need to settle in, and make sure their stay is safe, comfortable, and as stress-free as possible.
About: Hi, I’m Corrine! 🐾 Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always brought me so much joy. I grew up with dogs and even had one by my side all throughout my college years, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pup. I have plenty of experience with both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs, and I always make sure to adapt to their unique needs—whether that means lots of playtime, patient training reinforcement, or slow strolls. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and stayovers, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pup! 🐶 Fits very well, I work completely remote and find myself have a lot of extra time on my hands. So it is easy for me to take a pause and walk your pup or work remote while doing a stay over or day care. In my client’s home, I make sure to follow their specific routines and instructions so pets feel comfortable and secure in their own space. I always prioritize their safety by keeping a close eye on their environment, making sure food, water, and any medications are given on schedule, and sticking to their normal feeding and walking times. I also give plenty of love, attention, and playtime to keep them happy and engaged. If I’m staying over, I treat the home with the same respect I would my own, keeping everything tidy and making sure your pet feels calm and cared for throughout the day and night. My goal is always to give pets the consistency they need so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.
“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!”
“Julissa has been amazing with our little lucy. My wife and I work in the City so finding someone trusting to look after our Cav while we're away was very important to us. Our job can sometimes be demanding as well with odd hours but Julissa has been very accomodating to us. What I love about Julissa is she keeps us posted with photos and updates throughout the day. It always brings a smile to our face knowing that our lucy is having fun and being well taken care of. Would high recommend Julissa for day care needs! Our pup thrives more around humans than other dogs, and Julissa and her family always give Lucy the affection she loves.”
About: I’m a caring, patient, and reliable pet sitter who treats every pet like they’re my own. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, and I’m happy to provide plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and attention. I’m also responsible and communicative, so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away! 🐾 I’m in college Monday–Thursday during the day, but I’m available in the early mornings before 7am, afternoons after 1pm, and on weekends for pet care. I have a flexible schedule outside of classes and can work with your pet’s routine and needs! I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. I follow their normal routine for feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, walks, and anything else they need. I also give them plenty of attention and keep their space clean and comfortable while their owners are away!
“David was great to work with and great with Pearl. He has a great setup for hosting dogs went out of his way to make sure Pearl had a fun and active day. We would/will go out of our way to leave Pearl with David in the future.”
“This was Oreo’s second day here and it was just as amazing as the first. He is almost 12, very particular about people, and not the easiest dog to win over — so the fact that he was excited to go back says everything. As chaotic as our day was, it was such a huge relief knowing he was happy, comfortable, and in such good hands. Jackie’s flexibility, kindness, and obvious love for dogs really stood out. It is not easy to find someone you fully trust with your dog, especially one with a picky personality, but this truly feels like a safe, loving, and comfortable home for him. We are so grateful to have found Jackie and will absolutely continue to book again (already have) 😉”
“Five Stars! They watched our new rescue puppy during his first few work days with us and were a pleasure to deal with in all respects. They also have a lovely dog, Walnut—we're hoping our new pup picked up some good manners from him! Thank you.”
“Loved getting updates on Mochi! I often worry/think about him when I'm out so it was really nice to see that he was enjoying himself. Very happy with the booking, thank you SO much for taking care of him!!”
“First time with Rover. I was quite nervous. Then we had a greet and meet. She is very nice. The dog seems fine after daycare time, didn't eat too much probably because of being nervous. Good reporting card. May rebook with Vafa again. Thanks”

“Anne was great with my dog when we needed a dog walker last minute! She was responsive, friendly, and great at dealing with our little energetic pup. I enjoyed the cute pictures she sent each day as well! Would definitely trust her for future walks.”
“So glad it went so well! She’s always happy after you’ve been here. I’ll be vacationing here and there over the next couple of weeks, not much walking needed. But very like the 21st and/or the 22nd depending on how my grandson’s games go. Are you available on those dates?🤞”
“Madison has been walking Jake, our very active, 60lb collie/heeler mix, for a few weeks now and we are delighted we found her on Rover. She is very dependable and obviously experienced with energetic dogs. Jake loves her, he watches out the window at walk time and charges to the door as soon as he sees Madison coming! We would definitely recommend Madison.”
About: Hi, I'm Xiomara and currently live in the Chatham, NJ area. I'm a huge lover of pets and have had many growing up and continuing over the years into adulthood. I currently have one cat at home, who is almost 14 years old and at times help take care of my family's Shih Tzu. Our previous family dog had diabetes, so I have experience administering medication should that be necessary. I love dogs and cats, whether they are young or old equally, and you can trust your pet will get the best treatment from me. I work from home with a pretty flexible schedule, so I'll have time to play with your fur babies and am available any day you may need. My home is smoke free, one level and has just enough space for your pet to run around safely. My cat will also be around to keep them company.
About: My name is Emma R. and I am currently a senior at Fairleigh Dickinson University - Florham. I have been housitting and pet sitting since I was in middle school and would love to help you out! I have worked with animals of all size, age, and even some with medical conditions. I am experienced at giving medication and work well wih animals, as I grew up with a cat and dogs. I am able to care for multiple pets at once, and have a car on campus so I am able to take any job. I am a college student with avalability sporadically so please reach out about specific days and times that you would need care. I am happy to take pets on walks or just sit with them and give them attention in addition to feeding. If staying the night, I am happy to have your pet sleep with me or crate them, whatever they will be the most comfortable with.
“Kat has been wonderful! She has been incredibly thoughtful and asked great questions about Gizmo. She has been timely, communicative and you can tell that she loves dogs. Cannot wait to schedule with her again soon.”
About: I have taken care of different kinds of cats and dogs since I was 8 years old! I have a dog of my own and he is my favorite ever!! I am currently working part time at a restaurant so i have plenty of time to care and play with some pets!! I am rarely unavailable! I will make sure they have enough food and water at all times and I will make sure that they feel loved and cared for!
“Nicole arrived promptly to give Sophia a walk. Sophia liked her immediately. Nicole was friendly, gave her lots of pets and because it was a rainy day, she wiped her paws when she returned. I will use her again as need be”
“Donna took care of my dog Luna while we were on vacation this summer. She did an amazing job!! Luna loved her, and enjoyed her walk with Donna twice a day! Donna was punctual, kind, and put in the extra effort to care for Luna while we were gone. Will definitely be reaching out again next year. Highly recommend!!”
“Jenna has been amazing! Our pup Betty absolutely loves her, and Jenna is always sure to take some pictures and let us know of anything important. Before starting our regularly scheduled walks, Jenna was kind enough to come for a drop in and meet Betty ahead of their first walk together. She was so kind and understanding, especially as we just moved in to our new place so recently. Jenna is a natural! We’re so happy we found her, and look forward to many more good walks for our Betty! ❤️”
About: I’ve grown up in a house filled with dogs and cats my whole life. In the last year, I have turned taking care of animals into a part time gig and am looking to do more of it! I currently work some nights in the evening but usually fill my days with walks and drop ins and am looking to increase the amount of families I help. I promise to be very respectful of your home and take care of your pets the way I would hope someone would take care of mine.
About: I grew up with dogs throughout my youth, and have been pet sitting dogs throughout my adult life for several years. I love caring for dogs. I take dog sitting seriously and aim to give your dog a maximally healthy and happy experience while they are with me. I'm a very responsible and dependable person who values good and open communication and care to learn what works best for you and your dog! I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to adjust to your dog's normal routine. Most days I work from home and have many opportunities to step outside for breaks and walks. I like to take the dogs out every few hours, alternating between quick potty breaks and longer walks. I am currently only dog sitting in the owner's (e.g. your) home. I find that dogs are often the most comfortable in their own home.
“I can’t say enough good things! I reached out last minute—literally the night before—after my original dog walker had to cancel due to a family emergency. Travian came through bright and early at 6:30 AM with zero hesitation. Total lifesaver.”
“We have booked Carlee on multiple occasions from dog sitting to dog walking and we've never had a problem. Carlee is friendly, respectful, communicative, responsible and great with our two dogs Sophie and Wendy, and we're happy that we've found her! We love seeing all the photos she takes of them whenever she's with them. Would definitely recommend!!”
“I knew I had an upcoming week where I would be so busy that I would joy we time to walk my active senior dog. I arranged for a meet and greet with Davud, and Clive who is generally aloof took to him like a duck to water. The bonus is I really like him too! David was a life saver and Clive enjoyed the time they spent together. David is kind, clearly has an affinity for dogs, and flexible. I would ask him to walk Clive again in a heartbeat!”
About: Hi! I'm Jordan, a professional women's soccer player! While soccer keeps me busy, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by pets and currently have two dogs back home—a German Shorthaired Pointer named Grace and a Yellow Lab named Earl—as well as my 15-year-old black cat, Pigpen. Being away from them during the season has only made me appreciate how important it is to know they're in good hands, and that's exactly the kind of care I want to provide for your pets. I've spent years dog sitting, cat sitting, providing dog walks, and giving cats the attention and enrichment they need while their families are away. I also volunteer with local animal shelters and have training in cat enrichment, so I'm comfortable working with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company and stick to their routine, I'm happy to meet them where they're at. I know every pet is different, and I treat every animal I care for like they're my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind that they're in good hands! As a professional soccer player, having structure and consistency is a big part of my daily life. My training schedule is planned well in advance, which allows me to dedicate focused time to the pets I care for. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I make sure each pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I know how important it is for pets to stay comfortable in their own environment, so I do everything I can to keep their routine as normal as possible. I'll follow your instructions carefully, whether that's feeding schedules, medications, favorite walking routes, playtime, or bedtime routines. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. For dogs, every walk is tailored to their age, energy level, and personality. Some dogs enjoy a long, active walk with plenty of opportunities to explore, while others are happiest with a slower pace and extra sniffing time. Safety is always my top priority, and I'll make sure your dog gets both the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need. For cats, I understand that every personality is different. Some cats love interactive play and attention, while others prefer a calm presence and a familiar routine. With my background in feline enrichment, I enjoy providing activities that keep cats engaged while always respecting their comfort level. I'll also treat your home with the same care and respect that I would my own. You can expect regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets—and your home—are in good hands.
About: I've had dogs all my life (even though I also love cats & other pets). I've also taken care of friend's & neighbor's pets as well - from tiny Shih Tzus to Pit bulls, everything in between. Some experience with cats as well. I currently work remotelt full-time on weekdays, so I'm flexible during weekdays. My weekends will also be pretty open. Willing to adjust those hours as much as possible to fit in whatever works for the pet owners. I live in a pet-friendly home with plenty of space for dog-walking and some pet parks around me as well. Indoor or outdoor, your pet will have the care you prefer.
“Brilliant! My dog Cola had a great stay over the weekend. Kevin was able to accommodate us last minute and Cola came back home very happy and well cared for. Kevin has a large fenced in yard and played with Cola with his other pups, they had lots of fun together. Will definitely book again in the future.”
About: Hello there! My name is Angelica and I am located in North Jersey. I enjoy working with all kinds of animals. Throughout my life I have had the pleasure of taking care of a variety of different pets. Most of my friends and family trust me to take care of their pets while they’re out of town. I prioritize the well-being of all pets. While your fur baby is in my care I will make sure that they are kept in a safe loving and comfortable environment. Throughout their stay with me I will send you as many pictures and updates as possible. I will do my best to adhere to any special instructions you may leave. I am currently working but my schedule is flexible enough for me to make time to take care of your pet(s). I’ll dedicate as much time with your pets as possible. In order to ensure that your pet is in a safe environment I will follow any instructions you may leave. I will play with them as much as possible and I will always provide them with a clean and comfortable space that will meet all their needs.

“I had a great experience with John. I booked on short notice and he was very flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. He took excellent care of Carl while I was away and gave me real peace of mind the entire time. Communication was solid, and I received updates throughout Carl’s stay — it was clear he was being very well looked after. When I picked him up, he was calm, healthy, and completely himself, which tells you everything you need to know about the level of care he provides. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with John again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”
“I will never bring my dogs anywhere else - “Mr. Jonathan” (as my kids call him), gives me peace of mind that my pups are feeling at home and well taken care of while we are away.”
“After a few not so great experiences with dog sitters, we’ve grown quite picky and Ethan was truly amazing with our dog. We honestly couldn’t have asked for more. He was super responsive whenever we reached out, sent regular updates with photos and videos, was flexible with timing, and his home is beautiful, tidy, and spacious, even for our larger dog (a mastiff/shepherd mix). We feel like we’ve found our dog sitter for life. Highly recommend!”
“Amrit was amazing with Pepper. He was so sweet and attentive to her and sent me updates and pictures daily. It didn’t seem like a job for him- he genuinely enjoyed taking care of her. His house was clean and safe. I highly recommend him!!”
“Hi! I just want to give a huge thank you to Tiara for being absolutely amazing and going above and beyond for my two kittens. Knowing they were under her care brought me so much peace and happiness. She even took personal responsibility to take one of my sick cats to the vet without hesitation. Her dedication, care, and knowledge are truly exceptional—she's perfect! I can’t imagine any better pet sitter and will definitely be calling her again.”
“This was our first experience leaving Benny with a pet sitter and leaving him with someone new was not easy for me but Bhawani made it easier. The whole process from meet and greet to boarding was seamless. She did a thorough job vetting him to make sure he’d be a good fit and made sure she has all the details about our dog. The best part was getting updates with pictures and videos of his daily activities and responding to all our messages. She’s also been helping him in socialising with other dogs. Highly recommended Bhawani for anyone looking for a great home away from home for their fur baby!!”
“Dalton & Leia were great! Our dog was anxious staying somewhere new and they did a great job making him feel comfortable. Provided updates and videos. Definitely recommend!!”
“We left our 3-year old female cockapoo for 5 days with Katie and she seemed to have had a great time while we were away. The host family was nice, attentive and caring. We got daily pictures and updates about our dog, which was very nice. We would highly recommend this dog sitter to anyone. Thx”
“Heather and her family were so sweet with my Buzz! I’ve had the same dog sitter for years, so I was nervous when I suddenly needed to find someone new. From the start, they were incredibly kind, caring, and attentive with him, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to truly enjoy my trip. They also have an amazing backyard where Buzz could run around, play, and make himself at home. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend Heather and will absolutely be using her again!”
About: Hi, I’m Corrine! 🐾 Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always brought me so much joy. I grew up with dogs and even had one by my side all throughout my college years, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pup. I have plenty of experience with both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs, and I always make sure to adapt to their unique needs—whether that means lots of playtime, patient training reinforcement, or slow strolls. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and stayovers, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pup! 🐶 Fits very well, I work completely remote and find myself have a lot of extra time on my hands. So it is easy for me to take a pause and walk your pup or work remote while doing a stay over or day care. In my client’s home, I make sure to follow their specific routines and instructions so pets feel comfortable and secure in their own space. I always prioritize their safety by keeping a close eye on their environment, making sure food, water, and any medications are given on schedule, and sticking to their normal feeding and walking times. I also give plenty of love, attention, and playtime to keep them happy and engaged. If I’m staying over, I treat the home with the same respect I would my own, keeping everything tidy and making sure your pet feels calm and cared for throughout the day and night. My goal is always to give pets the consistency they need so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.
“Nicole was amazing with Zora and is officially our permanent dog sitter! She is super responsive, sends lots of pictures and is a very kind soul. Zora played with Nicole’s dog and apparently had a huge blast with lots of cuddles, treats and walks. Thank you thank you thank you Nicole!”
“Diana was absolutely amazing with Meeko! She took great care of our guy. She always shared updates, pictures and was responsive when we were checking in and even offered valuable advice being first time pup parents. Thank you so much for being so loving to him! We will definitely be going back 😊”
“Caitlin was amazing, her and Georgia took such great care of our pup. Super communicative and flexible. Nice long walks and plenty of attention our dog came back a happy camper.”
“My first time leaving my dog with someone and he fell in love with Tammy and her family from the beginning(dogs know good people)! Updates and pictures of the dog made it all much easier. Coming home and seeing how calm and happy he was, was enough to know he had a great time! Definitely will be our “go to” person!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of Napoleon! Being available during an emergency and being able to care for Napoleon during an extended stay was so kind. Napoleon will certainly be back soon, he already misses his bestie <3”
“My dog hasn't stayed with anyone outside my family in several years and can be a bit anxious, but Alexa took great care of him. I will definitely book with her again in the future.”
