“Priscilla was an exceptional dog sitter for our pup, Cairo. From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear that he was in capable and caring hands. She was incredibly attentive to his needs, ensuring he was comfortable and well taken care of. Throughout our time away, she kept us updated with regular communication, sending photos and updates, which really helped us relax and enjoy our vacation knowing he was doing well. Her home was clean, safe, and welcoming, providing Cairo with a comfortable environment to settle into. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we’ll definitely be trusting Priscilla with Cairo again in the future!”
“Ann was amazing with my dog, Mocha, during an overnight stay! She took such great care of her and made me feel completely at ease. Her communication was outstanding — I received updates and knew Mocha was in great hands the whole time. It’s clear Ann truly cares about the dogs she watches. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Melissa did such an amazing job taking care of my dog Melo. I went away for the weekend and was able to book with her a week before. She introduced my dog to her other animals for the first time and I think he was so happy to have other furry friends for the weekend. Melissa was super clear and communicative throughout. I loved seeing the photos and videos every few hours so I always felt like melo was in good hands. She also had a print out award and treat for Melo after his stay which was so sweet. Thanks again Melissa for watching Melo :)”
“The experience with Kathy was great! She was always responsive and gave us a daily update so that we didn't need to worry about how my dog was doing. Strongly recommended!”
“Monica & Kelvin are incredible! I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my puppy somewhere (and I’m very picky). Instantly just conversing with Monica she put my mind at ease by giving so much reassurance that my Banjo would be okay with her. She provided so many cute pics/vids along with day to day updates about my boy 🥹. This family really loves what they do and it shows by how amazing they were to my puppy and treated him as their own. I 100% will be booking again with them!!! ❤️”
“Demetra was amazing!! We loved their family and our pug was so happy! He had such a great time with them and they took such good care of him! I am looking forward to bringing him over again!”
“Amazing host! They offered a meet and greet before boarding. During boarding, they shared many photos and updates such as what they’ve played and their appetite. I felt very comfortable having them watch over my dog.”
“Sunny was a fantastic dog sitter and we would 100% book with her again! She was extremely communicative throughout Ruby’s stay and genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with her. Sunny was also incredibly accommodating when our flight was delayed and we were late picking Ruby up. Most importantly, Ruby was a very happy dog when we picked her up! Highly recommend Sunny.”
“Lucky has stayed with Ken and Irene several times now. She gets very excited when she sees their house, and comes home happy and tired. We could not ask for more! We highly recommend Ken and Irene!! ”
“WOW. This is my first time with Brittany. Brittany is amazing. Brittany devoted so much time to Drew. Although Brittany has a fenced in yard, she took our dog on two walks each day. They went to the park. They had movie night together. Brittany is a rare find. When I picked my dog up, you could see how much HE enjoyed staying with Brittany—his tail was wagging, he was smiling (yes, my dog smiles) and he was licking Brittany affectionately as we were saying goodbye. I’ve had a number of other dog sitters, but Brittany just goes the extra mile. Again, she’s incredible and puts all our other sitters to shame. We are definitely spoiled and will use Brittany again anytime we need a sitter.”
“Sridevi is a great host for my kitten, Mochi! He stayed with them over the holidays. She made him feel at home with lots of care and toys and activities. She provided frequent videos and photos and kept me updated. She also provided video call. Highly recommended!”
“Lola enjoyed another stay with Aeli while we had to be out of town. The drop off and pick up is always smooth. Aeli provides us with daily photos of Lola enjoying her walks, play and relax time at her house. We have been so very happy with the experience and know that Lola has an amazing place to stay when we need to be out of town. We will definitely book again when we need. Thank you Aeli!!!!”
“Donna was amazing with my dog Taz! She was able to watch Taz for a few days on very short notice. Donna was so accommodating and loving to Taz. 100% recommend Donna and family Your pet will be in great and loving hands.”
“We have a high energy pup! As soon as we handed the leash over to Maureen and saw them briskly walking down the street together, we were confident that our girl was in very good hands! Good communications, really took the time to listen to everything we shared with her about our pup. We highly recommend Maureen and will use her again!”
“Lisa was very kind and caring with my Junie. She sent me texts and pictures and I was put at ease immediately. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to using her services again.”
“Rokiea took very good care of Nala and kept us well updated throughout her stay. Nala loved spending time in the yard and seemed to be calm in their mellow neighborhood. I would definitely contact Rokiea again for future stays.”

“This was our first time using Kellianne to take care of our cat, Ollie. We were so pleased! Kellianne was reliable, prompt, thorough and extremely caring!

If I could give her 10 stars, I would!!!”

“Lauren watched our dog twice. She was fantastic both times. Our dog, Rylee, likes all people but she really took to Lauren. And for good reason -- Lauren is a true dog lover. She walked Rylee each time and sent us pics during the day. Finally, Lauren went above and beyond. Our car broke down in Moss Landing and had to be towed back to Pacific Grove. Lauren kept Rylee into the evening and brought her to us. We recommend her highly.”
“Andrea did a great job with Lola! She took her on walks and allowed lots of playtime. Fed Lola timely and stayed with her the whole day. Definitely recommend Andrea for Rover any day!”
“Our dog always has the best time with Aeli and her dogs! She sends so many pictures and was able to watch her on Thanksgiving which was so helpful. Ruby can’t wait to go back!”
About: Our pets always feel safe and loved, so will yours! We have 2 small dogs (yorkies) who are friendly and happy to accommodate more friends. Our family LOVES animals (especially small dogs) and we will make yours feel part of our pack! I work full time but close by for potty breaks and feedings. I can offer a regimen if needed. Play, food, rest and everything in between! Weekends are more relaxed and laid back and the pooches enjoy more of our attention on those days! I have a fenced in yard with lots of space to run, frolic and play. Dogs can also relax on our furniture and sleep comfortably. Our house is quiet for the most part and we have storm doors that act as another layer of protection for those little runners!
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. Working with animals has been a rewarding and positive experience. I look forward to continuing caring for pets as if they were my own. I value how important it is to feel safe and comfortable with the person who is nurturing and caring for your pet(s). Pets truly are a member of any family! My schedule is extremely flexible and I am here to work with you to meet the needs of your pet. I am available weekdays and weekends, days and nights. I am very attentive in needs for your pet. I do not have a fenced in yard. Playing and walking outdoors will be done with a leash. The inside of my home is spacious for dogs to run around and play.
“Monica and Kelvin are great! We’ve been using Rover for years and they are the BEST! They took awesome care of our pup and sent us photos throughout the day. Highly highly recommend!”
“Travis and Roberta were critical in helping us get our dog settled the first week we had him! They were so kind and patient with him. He loved going over to their house when we couldn’t be home! Their dog was older than ours and was also patient and gentle with him, so it was great socialization for our pup! We will definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“Our new Boston Terrier puppy, Frankie, had his first stay with Hope, and we couldn’t have been happier! Hope is a pleasure to deal with, is clearly an avid dog lover and pretty much something of a “dog whisperers.” You could tell from the moment we dropped Frankie off until we picked him up that he would be in great hands. She creates a completely stress-free, comfortable environment and has a wonderful large fenced-in yard in which Frankie had plenty of room to play or just “hang out.” Hope’s attention to every detail of Frankie’s care inside her welcoming home put us completely at ease with leaving our puppy with her. Frankie wants to know when he’s going back....Well, he was happy to hear that we re-booked Hope for multiple future stays! Thanks so much, Hope! A unique, caring and extremely friendly environment. Can’t say enough about the total experience. Highly, highly recommend!”
About: What sets us apart is how much we genuinely love dogs. We are dog parents ourselves, so we understand how much trust it takes — and how worrying it can feel — to leave your dog in someone else’s care. For us, dog sitting is more than just feeding and walking. We love spending time with them, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Because we know how much owners miss and worry about their dogs, we always try to send photo updates in the morning and evening so you can see how your pup is doing and feel at ease. We have hands-on experience caring for different breeds, including Samoyeds, Weimaraners, Shetland Sheepdogs, and Golden Retrievers. Since we have friendly and social dogs of our own, we carefully supervise all interactions and focus on creating a safe and positive environment for every dog. We follow each dog’s routine closely and give them the attention, care, and love they deserve. On days I accept bookings, I’m home all day to give dogs my full attention, provide close supervision, and make sure they get plenty of walks and care. I provide a calm, safe, and dog-friendly environment in my home. All dogs are closely supervised, especially during playtime and interactions with other dogs. I carefully follow each dog’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and rest time. Because I am a dog owner myself, I understand how important safety and trust are. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, secure, and cared for like a member of our family.

Additionally, I’ve spent over five years as a veterinary assistant and surgical nurse at a pet hospital, specializing in the care of cats and dogs. I’m proficient in administering oral medications and subcutaneous or intramuscular injections. I also have experience with chemotherapy medications, having cared for my dog, who has had a bladder tumor for nearly three years.

I may step out briefly for errands or other chores but will ensure your pet's needs are fully met and they get plenty of company and care. Our home is on one acre with a fenced in yard and great area for walking with lots of trees in a peaceful setting. I have a senior dog (17 yo) that loves company. We also have cats which are friendly and curious.
About: Hello! My name is Danny, I’m a college student at the university of Pittsburgh. I care for all pets and can follow any task or instruction as needed. I’ve always liked dogs and don’t mind being around other pets. I have a dog named Toby and he’s the best. I’m a college student studying communication at the university of Pittsburgh. I work for the Pitt football team on their film and video crew, and plan to go into a career in the sports field. I always treat pets the best, my dog Toby can vouch for me. I’ve never had an issue with dogs, and I’m available for looong or short, whatever’s needed.
About: I have watched pets most of my life of friends, and family. I take the time to get to know their personalities, routines, and special needs, because I believe every pet deserves personalized care and attention. I have a traditional 9–5 job Monday to Thursday and work from home on Fridays. Morning would feed and walk. Lunch would be midday walk, which my job is about 10 minute from home. Evening would be walk, spending play time and evening feeding. Weekends I’m home spending time with pet. I have plenty of room to accommodate your pets space. I can also crate if you want. I also have a large front yard for play time. There are sidewalks all through town, which is close to my home for walks.
“Julianna was great! Would definitely recommend. She is very kind and professional. She updated me after the walk on how Bella did and checked to make sure Bella had enough water in her bowl.”
About: I have experience working in an animal care setting. I’ve worked in multiple animal hospitals as a Veterinary Assistant/Technician and/or Kennel/Boarding Attendant. I am planning on returning back to school to become a Veterinary Technician due to my love for caring for animals. I have dog and cat sat for family, friends, and neighbors on multiple occasions. Your pets will be in good hands under my care! I promise to love your pets like my own pets! The best part about working in an animal hospital with a boarding facility is I can bring my dogs and cats to work with me! They will have a fun and playful experience with other dogs while being properly supervised. I have a mini golden doodle. He is very well behaved. I will apply all the instructions my clients gave me to make sure their pet is happy and comfortable.

“Priscilla was an exceptional dog sitter for our pup, Cairo. From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear that he was in capable and caring hands. She was incredibly attentive to his needs, ensuring he was comfortable and well taken care of. Throughout our time away, she kept us updated with regular communication, sending photos and updates, which really helped us relax and enjoy our vacation knowing he was doing well. Her home was clean, safe, and welcoming, providing Cairo with a comfortable environment to settle into. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we’ll definitely be trusting Priscilla with Cairo again in the future!”
“Monica & Kelvin are incredible! I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my puppy somewhere (and I’m very picky). Instantly just conversing with Monica she put my mind at ease by giving so much reassurance that my Banjo would be okay with her. She provided so many cute pics/vids along with day to day updates about my boy 🥹. This family really loves what they do and it shows by how amazing they were to my puppy and treated him as their own. I 100% will be booking again with them!!! ❤️”
“Amazing host! They offered a meet and greet before boarding. During boarding, they shared many photos and updates such as what they’ve played and their appetite. I felt very comfortable having them watch over my dog.”
“Lucky has stayed with Ken and Irene several times now. She gets very excited when she sees their house, and comes home happy and tired. We could not ask for more! We highly recommend Ken and Irene!! ”
“WOW. This is my first time with Brittany. Brittany is amazing. Brittany devoted so much time to Drew. Although Brittany has a fenced in yard, she took our dog on two walks each day. They went to the park. They had movie night together. Brittany is a rare find. When I picked my dog up, you could see how much HE enjoyed staying with Brittany—his tail was wagging, he was smiling (yes, my dog smiles) and he was licking Brittany affectionately as we were saying goodbye. I’ve had a number of other dog sitters, but Brittany just goes the extra mile. Again, she’s incredible and puts all our other sitters to shame. We are definitely spoiled and will use Brittany again anytime we need a sitter.”
“Sridevi is a great host for my kitten, Mochi! He stayed with them over the holidays. She made him feel at home with lots of care and toys and activities. She provided frequent videos and photos and kept me updated. She also provided video call. Highly recommended!”
“Lisa was very kind and caring with my Junie. She sent me texts and pictures and I was put at ease immediately. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to using her services again.”
“Rokiea took very good care of Nala and kept us well updated throughout her stay. Nala loved spending time in the yard and seemed to be calm in their mellow neighborhood. I would definitely contact Rokiea again for future stays.”
“Mickey was great! His entire household was very welcoming and he understood our senior dog’s needs. He was great at keeping us up to date with pictures and texts and made sure Duke was comfortable. Highly recommend!!”
“I got a good first impression of Robyn when I met her - she’s really warm and friendly. My dog has separation anxiety and gets really nervous when she’s away from our family, but she was relaxed and happy when we picked her up. Robyn is a wonderful pet sitter who took excellent care of my dog! We’ll definitely have her sit again next time we’re in town.”
“Elizabeth and Oleg were great! They provided updates of our dog Zion and were flexible when our pickup plans changed due to travel. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Lauryn is amazing. I had an emergency out of town and had to book her last minute. Not only was she welcoming to my two pooches, she treated them like her own. I wasn't sure of my return date and had to keep extended her services. She was understanding and gracious, also putting other fears at ease with staying well communicated and sending me updates with pics of my dogs. She truly understands they are like family. I highly recommend her!”
“Christina was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond while watching Kyrie! She sent tons of pictures, kept us updated throughout the day, and made us feel completely at ease the whole time. We trusted her right away, and she really came through for us when our flights were delayed and we needed a last-minute extension. Communication was clear, quick, and super helpful. We’d ask her again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much, Christina!”
“Kira had such a great time at Maureen’s for her 2 night stay! Maureen gave Kira lots of attention which we appreciated since Kira can be a bit anxious. Maureen also watches Kira on a regular basis for doggy day care and is always great with her! We would not hesitate to have Kira over for a future stay!”
“Lieb’s son took personal care of our Blondie. She came back tired and exhausted from all the fun fetch and swim play she had. If your dog loves playing in the pool this is definitely a great option. The owner’s dog Jaguar is well trained and has such calm temperament that even surprised me. Lieb took us in a last minute situation which was great all around.”
“This was the first time our 2 girls Juniper and Honey have ever stayed overnight anywhere since we rescued them 5 years ago. We felt confident having Carolina watching our girls. Prior to their stay we did a meet and greet. Carolina has a very calm demeanor, and we were very confident that the girls would be comfortable in her home. She sent us pictures and gave us updates of how they were doing, which was nice. When we picked them up they were very happy, so we'll definitely be using her services again.”
“Henry and Kyungwon did an excellent job watching Coco. They made sure her medicine was given on time and sent regular updates. Coco was calm and content when we returned. We plan to use Henry and Kyungwon again.”
“Jocelyn was great- she was able to accommodate our last minute request, even on a very rainy Saturday! She made sure our pup felt comfortable and happy with the other dogs, and sent me pics/videos regularly.”
