“This was my first time leaving my giant baby teddy bear of a pupper Milo for a couple of days while my family and I were traveling. Vanessa was truly an angel and took care of my pup perfectly and sent me pictures and updates throughout the day everyday I was away. I didn’t have to worry one bit while my pupper was with Vanessa. I wouldn’t hesitate to bring Milo over whenever we do need her help. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience, and I haven’t even mentioned how sweet and caring she is. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! :)”
“Amy was fantastic with our Goldendoodle. She was extremely responsive, provided reassuring daily updates/ pics and was so compassionate with our older pup. I am SO very grateful to have found her! I recommend her highly to anyone looking for someone that will, no doubt, make your pet feel right at home. I will definitely use her again in the future. Thanks, Amy!”
“Stacie was amazing took great care of my sweet Mila. Stacie was accommodating and understanding of the hectic holiday travel. She was attentive sending pictures and updates daily. Would definitely book again.”
About: Currently available as needed. Would provide play time, multiple potty breaks, and walks with my own dogs! Have large yard and tons of toys. I previously worked in a vet office, so giving medication is not a hassle. Dogs can do as they please while supervised. Working in a vet office has provided knowledge of basic cpr, how to help/ prevent a choking incident and how to orally give medication as well as administering vaccines and or insulin. I own many types of pets and would only trust the best for my kiddos, and I know im not alone! All animals deserve great care and love, and I would love to help provide that. Any other questions about me are always welcome:) I am currently home and available at all times! I pick up my kiddos from school at 3 and we are ready to help your furry friends with any of their needs! I have two friendly dogs who love company and two kids to help get their energy out we live on 5.5 acres and love to go for leashed walks along the property!
“Vickie and Heath were wonderful, and our pup had a great time! They sent plenty of pics and updates to let us know how he was doing, and we know he enjoyed himself because he came home pooped! Can’t wait to book our next stay with Vickie, Heath and their awesome fur family.”
“Tom was an amazing sitter for my dog Charlie. He sent videos everyday and that really put my mind at ease. I could tell she was loving every minuet of being on the farm and getting to spend time with his dogs. I could tell that Charlie was treated as one of his own and that he cared about her. I would recommend Tom to anyone and if I need to leave my dog again I know she would in good hands with him. 10/10”
“Nantikan were very prompt in communications and took excellent care of our two dogs while we were out of town for a long weekend. She sent us photos and kept us up to date. Much appreciated!”
“Chase second stay with Kristen and family for a week. He was loved and quite comfortable!! Thanks for taking care of the old man doggo... I know he'll be happy to stay with you in the future!”
“He was beyond friendly, wonderful wife, kind. This is a peaceful, quiet neighborhood, beautiful home. I really liked that there were other dogs present to keep my dog occupied. Send photos of my dog which I obviously appreciated. I did not have to worry about my dog at all once I saw his home/yard. I will be asking Jose to watch my dog the next time I take a trip also. My dog was sad to be back home. This is someone with patience who clearly has respect for animals, and these are great people. It can be strange leaving your dog with someone you do not know, but know that these people treat them like family and keep them comfortable. Thank you so much to your family Jose and thanks for your patience with my dog.”
“Chas did a great job taking care of my dog Abbey while I went on vacation. I don’t travel often but my dog couldn’t come with me this time. It was my first time using Rover, but Chas made me feel at ease and comfortable by communicating with me and sending pics during Abbey’s stay. I appreciate her confident demeanor and friendly personality. Abbey was safe with Chas and had a great time hanging out with the other pups. I will use Chas again when needed! Thank you very much.”
“Wanda and her family were kind and accommodating while watching my dog Banjo. She ensured he was cared for throughout his stay and made him comfortable while he was anxious during thunderstorms and 4th of July fireworks. I would highly recommend Wanda for any and all pet-related needs.”
“I can't say enough good things about Rachel! Leaving my fur baby, Lucy, was one of the hardest things I've ever done, but Rachel made it so much easier. She sent daily updates and pictures, so I could see Lucy’s sweet face and know she was in good hands. Rachel was incredibly attentive and caring, and it's clear she loves animals just as much as I do. When I picked Lucy up, she was beaming with joy and looked like she'd been well taken care of. I was so impressed with how Rachel had followed her routine and given her all the snuggles and love she needed. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Rachel, for making my trip so much less stressful and for being an amazing caregiver to my little girl!”
“Buster loved his stay with Stephanie! Throughout his stay she was very communicative and sent so many detailed updates about how he was doing and sent so many cute pics to keep me updated. Definitely will be staying with Stephanie again in the future!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Emaunal and Jennifer were amazing! Frost had a blast and came home tired and happy. Emaunal and Jennifer sent adorable updates and pics, and even gave Frost his dinner and 🐾👍. Would definitely recommend! 🐶💕 Looking forward to sending Frost there more in the future. Thank you”
“Our senior dog had a very nice stay with Angela. Angela sent me several photos throughout our dog's stay and I could see that he was happy. There is a nice enclosed grass backyard that allowed our dog to romp and I think he enjoyed that.”
“Davina and her family were so good to Arnie I was afraid he may not come home! Very proactive and responsive communication and pictures so you know your fur baby is happy! She even made homemade doggy treats and personalized each dog’s initial! Beyond exemplary!”
“This was my first time getting a cat sitter through Rover and it was an experience that I would highly recommend. I was so happy that I chose Anwar to care for my older cat for 10 days. My cat requires daily meds and some extra care and Anwar tended to all of his needs in professional and caring manner. I will definitely book with Anwar in the future.”
“My dog’s stay with Teresa and her family went perfectly. I was nervous dropping him off due to him having a medical issue a few days prior to drop off. Teresa was well informed about his condition and did everything to keep me at ease by providing regular updates and photos. He came home a very happy, healthy and tired pup. I can’t recommend Teresa highly enough.”
“Anish was absolutely amazing with our dog Max. Having being a long term dog owner, he knew all about how to handle our dog Max . I felt at ease from the time Max was dropped off till the time we picked Max up. Anish took the extra effort to make sure Max was taken for walks even in the pouring rain, and give him plenty of exercise and company. Max returned home happy, rested & well exercised. I highly recommend Anish to take care of your pet, its their home away from home.”

I’ve cat sat for 2 different families for long periods of time, and I’ve always been asked back. I truly do love cats!
“Lauren was consistent with our twice a day drop-ins even after getting a huge amount of snow on day 2 of checking in on my 2 kitties! She took time to make sure their litter was clean, they were fed, and played with them. The report card photos were a treat we looked forward to after every visit! Will definitely book her again in the future.”
“Natalie took great care of Sriracha when she has been at our house! Sriracha is a very shy cat but came right out during our meet and greet and seemed to like her very much. Natalie even brought in our mail and watered our plants! When we had a scheduleing mix up she was gracious and understanding and we were so grateful to have her taking care of our kitty.”
About: I have cared for family cats since I was a child and I currently have two cats of my own. One of my cats is a rescue and it took many years to build trust but one thing I’ve learned about cats is they have boundaries and have their own unique way of communicating! Whether it’s a cuddle companion or just someone to fill up the food bowl and clean the litter box or someone to play with I am happy to help!
About: I have taken care of my friends pets for a few years now, either going over to their house to check on them, let them out and play with them or even taking them on walks. I currently have 3 dogs at home, and I have been taking care of them since they were puppies as well as the dogs I have had previously as well. I know how to handle small dogs and medium/large dogs, whether it comes to walks or just checking in to play with them, or let them out for the bathroom. I am currently working a part-time job, so I have all the time during the day to walk dogs and care for them. I am free anytime after 9 am. I currently have three dogs of my own at home. I play with them a lot inside the house when it gets too hot, and every few hours I let them out for the bathroom and play and tire them out, when outside, depending on how hot it is. I walk around outside with them to get some walking in up and down our driveway.
About: I have taken care of both adult cats and kittens for over a decade. Both of my cats at home are fully vaccinated and fixed males. I am experienced in feeding, litter box cleaning, administering medication, and have many toys for them to play with.
About: I have over 11 years of experience caring for cats and previously worked as a cat sitter from 2015–2019. I also volunteer with Catsbury Park cat rescue and have experience with shy, anxious, rescue, and senior cats. I currently own 6 cats myself, so I understand how important routine, patience, and trust are when caring for someone’s pets. I genuinely love animals and always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.
“Vanessa is amazing there should be 10 stars on here! She has excellent communication very professional took fantastic care of my pets played with them cared for them. She made me feel at ease leaving them with her. If you’re looking for a top-notch sitter, Vanessa is the person you want to work with!”
About: I am a happy owner of 2 cats and a yellow lab. I've had pets (cats, dogs, rabbits, lizards, fish, you name it) all my life. I am a huge animal lover and if I was to start my career all over again I might have become a veterinarian! But instead I have chosen the business path and became an accountant. I am very interested in pet sitting as this will give me the best of both worlds! I look forward to taking care of your pet as I would my own spoiled rotten pets at home :) I have watched friends and families cats/dogs over the years, mostly by visiting their house and feeding the pets/going for walks, etc. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my whole life. I have had dogs since the time I was born. My experience administering medication Yes, as long as the dog is used to taking the medication and reacts well to it.
About: Hi! I’ve owned, cared for, groomed, trained, and boarded dogs of all breeds for over 20 years. Whether it's a playful puppy or a senior snuggler, I treat every fur baby like they’re my own family. In addition to dog sitting and boarding, I also offer daily dog walks and runs—perfect for pups who need a bathroom break, exercise, or just some fresh air and love while you're at work or away. I’m available for midday walks, morning strolls, evening outings, or energetic runs, and I tailor each outing to your dog’s energy level and needs. I’m familiar with handling all kinds of dogs—from leash pullers to laid-back seniors—and I’m happy to accommodate special requests. Whether your pup loves the park, a quiet neighborhood stroll, or a brisk jog, I’ve got you covered. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate ample time to caring for pets throughout the day. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply giving your dog plenty of attention and companionship, I’m available to make sure their needs are met consistently. My routine revolves around providing a calm, loving environment where each pet feels comfortable and well cared for. You can rest easy knowing your dog will be treated like family—with the utmost love, attention, and care—whether we’re snuggled up at home or out on an adventure together. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. Tail wags and happy paws guaranteed!
About: Since as long as I can remember I have owned and been around dogs. I even taught my own dogs how to swim! I currently work at a pet resort where I interact with all different breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs. I value showing dogs love and comfort. I’d love to do the same for your pets! Pet care can fit into my schedule around my college classes that leave me with hours worth of breaks and weekend availability. Currently my work schedule is very slow so I’m not getting crazy amount of hours. I’d love to use my free time for a good cause! I have a fenced in play area that is perfect for running or just strolling around. My doggies love to even take naps under the trees when it’s warmer outside. Additionally for in client home I am able to crate any pets if needed. I can play with them/walk them etc. I am able to feed dogs, give medicine, whatever is needed I can do!
“I’ve used Sara twice now for drop in feedings for my two cats while away. Once for a long weekend and another time for a full week. She’s excellent and I’d highly recommend her. Everything went so well - I couldn’t have asked for more. My two shy cats loved her too which made me so happy. Thanks again Sara!”
About: Good Morning! I am Janiya and I’m excited to introduce myself! As an animal science graduate student, my journey with dogs began at a young age. I have been caring for my own dogs since I was just 10 years old, which has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior and needs. My academic background in animal science has equipped me with a solid foundation in animal care, health, and behavior. Through my coursework, I have gained insights into various aspects of veterinary medicine, nutrition, and training techniques. This knowledge allows me to provide not only basic care but also specialized attention tailored to each dog's unique requirements. In addition to my studies, I actively engage in clinical hours at a local veterinary clinic under the guidance of a certified veterinarian and vet tech. This hands on experience is invaluable. It has allowed me to observe and participate in real-world scenarios involving pet health care. From administering medications to understanding common health issues, this practical exposure enhances my ability to recognize signs of distress or illness in dogs while I am sitting or walking them. I’m currently working during the week so I’m available currently on the weekends anytime and will update my hours if need be due to obtaining a set schedule for clinical hours. I believe establishing a consistent daily routine is crucial for both dogs. This includes regular feeding times, exercise, and bathroom breaks. For my husky, who is energetic and playful, I ensure she gets at least an hour of vigorous exercise each day. This includes walks, runs, or playtime in the yard. My cockapoo also enjoys playtime but requires slightly less intense activity due to his smaller size and older age. I ensure that my home environment is safe for both dogs by removing hazardous items such as toxic plants or small objects they could swallow inside and outside. Additionally, I use baby gates if necessary to restrict access to certain areas of the house where they might get into trouble. I have learned by following these steps consistently in caring for my husky and cockapoo at home, and applying similar principles when caring for clients' pets, I’ll create a nurturing environment that supports their health and happiness.

“First time ever leaving our puppy with a sitter and we felt so comfortable with Vanessa. She sent pics and videos and our Maximus had a great time. Definitely recommend and will be using her again very soon. Thank you Vanessa!”
“Tom's place is awesome!! I work at the nearby military instillation and I was using Tom's daycare services. He was open to a meet and greet the day before I was supposed to drop off my pet which was from 7am-5pm, and he met Ollie and then showed us around a bit which made me feel much better knowing my dog was going to be kept in such clean and organized conditions. You can clearly tell how well Tom takes care of his own dogs. Everyday I used his service I could tell my dog had a great time and got to experience what walking in a pack was like. He came home exhausted each day and Tom sent great pictures and videos which made me feel better. As Tom states in his bio, if your dog is crate trained, good with other dogs and has a daily routine this is the place for you! Your dogs will love their experience at Tom's Place!”
“Trusting anyone with your pet, especially a young puppy, is always nerve wrecking. From the moment that I first spoke with Vickie I felt completely reassured that Denali was in good hands. Vickie and Heath are such kind, compassionate people and it shows in how they interact with the pets in their care. Denali is always SO EXCITED to get out of the car when she sees that we’re at their house, and comes home happy and exhausted from having so much fun. They are flexible, reliable, honest and even gave helpful tips when they noticed Denali starting to eat grass. I cannot recommend them enough for daycare/boarding!”

“Davina really should be the #1 dog sitter in this area! She is amazing with my Jack. He loves going to her house, he runs right up to the door. I usually worry about Jack when I'm not with him, but I don't worry at all when he is with Davina. Contact Davina for the best dog sitting around!”
About: We own two large dogs- an Australian cattle dog/Anatolian shepherd/Hound mix, and a yellow Labrador retriever. They are very high energy and unique with lively personalities. We love to take them on bicycle rides/walks through the woods and neighborhood. We both have experience with dogs- John dog-sat as a child and has had family dogs as well, and I grew up on a farm with 10-15 inside/outside dogs all my life as well as many other animals. We have a big back yard that is fenced in, we also live next to a big state park that is loads of fun for any animal! Our entire family and our friends also have dogs, so when we all get together we usually have about 12-14 dogs all together at once running around playing and having fun! We would love to be able to help others who own dogs and have a busy schedule live life while knowing their beloved pet is well taken care of!
“Ashley did an amazing job watching our fur babies! She was very responsive and communicated the entire time. Stanley and Lola loved spending the day cuddling with her. Thanks so much Ashley!”
About: I have been around dogs and cats my whole life. Up until recently, I have raised 2 dogs for the past 15 years and cats prior to/during part of that time. I am a stay-at-home mom with 2 young adults away at college so I have flexibility to visit homes with dogs or cats throughout the day. My innate ability to connect with animals has inspired me to seek out work where I may spend more time caring for them. I understand the care and concern pet owners have for their pets, especially when they are not able to be home for them. My experience being the primary caregiver for my own pets has nurtured my love for animals and provided me with knowledge of basic training techniques. It is my goal to provide peace of mind that I will care for your pet the same as I would for my own furry loved one. I look forward to visiting with new furry friends! I am currently home all days of the week except midday Tuesdays. Therefore, I have flexibility to visit pets throughout the day on most days. I am currently living in a neighborhood with ample space for walks. In addition, I have reliable transportation for visits to clients’ homes as necessary.
“Gerry is so sweet and takes great care of my pup! My dog comes home very happy after her time with Gerry. I am so thankful for the love and care she gives to my girl!”
“Stephanie was great! She was very warm and welcoming. She sent lots of pictures and updates to let me know how Ollie was doing! I would definitely reach out to her again!”
About: I have many years of experience with dogs. I have babysat and cared for friends dogs and also for my own dog. I recently adopted a cat so I also have a little over a year of experience with looking over cats. I have lots of free time to be able to play and care for your pets. I don’t have many distractions during the day meaning my full attention will be caring for your fur babies. I have a fenced in yard and a pretty spacious home. There is lots of room for my cat to roam around. He even has his own room and his own bathroom. There isn’t a lot of traffic around my neighborhood so I like to let my cat outside on a leash so he can feel the sun on his face.
“Angela took care of my dog for the day and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She responded to my questions quickly before booking, was great communicating and sent me photos throughout the day. Which was amazing! Angela has fenced in backward which me and my pup loved. I recommend Angela for anyone who’s looking for reliable care for their animals.”
“Roseanne’s home was calm and peaceful - exactly what my little old man needed. She and her boys gave him lots of snuggles and hugs, but best of all - he got his first ever time swimming in the pool - he loved it!! (And I loved the video). What a wonderful day he had.”
“We are beyond grateful to have found Kristen to care for our beagle, Annie! She had an incredible week filled with fun, and absolutely loved playing with Piper all week. We can’t recommend Kristen highly enough!”
“We used Tara as our dog sitter while visiting Sesame Place today. She was absolutely fantastic. We spoke back and forth via text the week before and even several times the day before the visit. She is so accommodating and even let me change our date to the following day at the very last minute. My children were VERY nervous and crying about leaving our pups with a stranger and she assured them she would take great care of them and even sent us several pictures during the visit with messages for the kids. It made the trip to Sesame so much easier! As a mama, that meant the most!! I will definitely use here again next time we come to Pa to visit family. And my pups were clean and happy when I picked them up. Thanks Tara.”
“Corrine agreed to take us on with short notice and was very communicative, kind, and responsive. She was great with our dog who enjoyed his play date with other dogs. We’re so grateful. Highly recommend!!”

About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets since 2014. I currently have five dogs and three cats that take care of each day. They are my babies. I am a teacher on my summer break so my schedule is quite open apart from taking care of my own 5 pups and 3 cats. I offer drop in visits where I can spend time playing with your pup or cat, I can feed them, give them fresh water, and I also offer walking services.
About: I have worked in various different ways with animals throughout the past 6 years. I have pet sat for family friends and used to work in a kennel where we board both cats and dogs.

About: I have cared for dogs at every stage of life since I was a child. I am particularly adept at managing litters, having successfully trained multiple puppies at once to encourage good behavior and social confidence. My professional background in restorative practices makes me an exceptionally observant sitter, perfect for pets with anxiety or those needing strict medical recovery protocols. From the specialized needs of a senior to the round-the-clock energy of a new litter, I provide reliable, high-quality care that honors your pet's unique personality. I have three dogs and two cats of my own. I am working a flexible part time job so I have plenty of free time to spend with animals and take care of their needs. I have a fenced in yard and a park nearby that had a fenced in dog area and lots of walking trails. I personally home cook my dogs food so if there are special diet restrictions I have experience. I love spending time bonding with my animals and would put that time into someone else’s pets to make them feel loved and safe whether that’s cuddling, wrestling, playing ball or dog walking.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for many years, both in my own home and in clients’ homes. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’m also experienced with cats and understand that every pet has their own unique routine and comfort level. I believe pets deserve to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone stick to their normal routine, I’m happy to provide personalized care that fits their needs. I’m reliable, responsible, and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel like they’re with family. During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days for pet care. Throughout the school year, I work as an elementary school counselor, so I’m typically available after school on weekdays, as well as evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I’m very easy to communicate with and happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. Whether you need regular care or last-minute help, I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and lots of affection. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, administer basic medications if needed, and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to create a safe, calm, and loving environment.
About: As an Air Force veteran with over 6 years of service, I bring reliability, responsibility, and attention to detail into every pet care experience. I’ve had dogs my entire life and also have experience caring for cats, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I regularly dog and cat sit for my spouse’s coworkers, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for a dog with seizures, including administering medication twice a day, so I’m comfortable following special care instructions and keeping a close eye on pets who may need extra attention or medical support. I am a full-time online student, which means I’ll be home throughout the day and able to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and supervision. I have a fenced-in yard for supervised playtime and exercise, along with two friendly dogs who enjoy the company of other pups. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the pets and the home with respect and care.

About: First there were up to five rescues who became my lifetime companions. Then we added two beautiful horses. We walked to and through parks, to the reservoir, up hills across streams, and at the marina. Oftentimes we shared the road with grazing cattle and communed with ducks and geese. We moved with the horses where we gave care and love to the horses and even shared property with llamas for a while. "Peachie" the cat has helped to strengthen my feline muscles through love and understanding his understated gifts as compared to the dogs. I am through, loving, caring, and pay attention to detail. I know how to meet each companion where he or she is; and I possess excellent communication skills. Animals and children love me and I them!

From growing up with cats and dogs, to saving injured birds, I have seen a lot and done a lot for the betterment of all animals. I will treat every animal as if they were my own. I am currently a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to spend with any fur baby that comes my way. The fenced in yard will be an amazing place for any pups to run around in and I do enjoy walking so having a companion would always be welcomed. My yard is over 8,000 square feet, fenced in, and I have a little pup now that would enjoy extra company. I have plenty of space indoors in case of any crating needs. I have nursed sick and injured animals back to health as my love for animals runs deep.

About: I’ve always been very comfortable around animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I previously worked as a pet sitter caring for a home with 7 cats and understand how important routine, cleanliness, patience, and attention are for pets while their owners are away. I also volunteer with Catsbury Park cat rescue and currently care for 6 cats of my own, so I have experience with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine since I already care for multiple cats of my own every day. I’m currently available Wednesday evenings, Thursdays, and Fridays for drop-in visits and pet sitting. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and always make sure pets are fed, comfortable, and given attention while their owners are away. I always prioritize creating a calm, safe, and clean environment for every pet I care for. I understand how important routines are for animals, especially cats, and I carefully follow feeding instructions, litter box cleaning, medications if needed, and any special care requests. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and focus on making pets feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while their owners are away.
About: Since as long as I can remember I have owned and been around dogs. I even taught my own dogs how to swim! I currently work at a pet resort where I interact with all different breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs. I value showing dogs love and comfort. I’d love to do the same for your pets! Pet care can fit into my schedule around my college classes that leave me with hours worth of breaks and weekend availability. Currently my work schedule is very slow so I’m not getting crazy amount of hours. I’d love to use my free time for a good cause! I have a fenced in play area that is perfect for running or just strolling around. My doggies love to even take naps under the trees when it’s warmer outside. Additionally for in client home I am able to crate any pets if needed. I can play with them/walk them etc. I am able to feed dogs, give medicine, whatever is needed I can do!
About: As a pet owner, I understand the importance of proper care. I will take care of your fur baby as if it were my own, including feeding, walking, playtime, and snacks, and I will follow any required care regime. Unfortunately, I only service New Jersey. I will not be able to accommodate request in Pennsylvania. I am a business owner, so my schedule is flexible for pop-in visits. I'm always out and about, which means stopping by to care for your pet is no problem. I do not offer overnight in-home services, but I would be more than happy to greet them in the morning and tuck them in at bedtime.
About: I’ve had multiple pets throughout my life whom I loved and took care of well through all stages of their lives. I’ve worked with dogs on basic commands and cared for my dog that passed from years of cancer. Most of my care was toward my own pets, but I love all animals! I am currently home for the summer, and I have a pretty open schedule to walk, check in on, and pet sit! My schedule is very flexible to work with whatever time I’m needed. I have a fenced in yard with grass, as well as a pool in the backyard. I no longer have any pets of my own, but many toys!
About: Good Morning! I am Janiya and I’m excited to introduce myself! As an animal science graduate student, my journey with dogs began at a young age. I have been caring for my own dogs since I was just 10 years old, which has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior and needs. My academic background in animal science has equipped me with a solid foundation in animal care, health, and behavior. Through my coursework, I have gained insights into various aspects of veterinary medicine, nutrition, and training techniques. This knowledge allows me to provide not only basic care but also specialized attention tailored to each dog's unique requirements. In addition to my studies, I actively engage in clinical hours at a local veterinary clinic under the guidance of a certified veterinarian and vet tech. This hands on experience is invaluable. It has allowed me to observe and participate in real-world scenarios involving pet health care. From administering medications to understanding common health issues, this practical exposure enhances my ability to recognize signs of distress or illness in dogs while I am sitting or walking them. I’m currently working during the week so I’m available currently on the weekends anytime and will update my hours if need be due to obtaining a set schedule for clinical hours. I believe establishing a consistent daily routine is crucial for both dogs. This includes regular feeding times, exercise, and bathroom breaks. For my husky, who is energetic and playful, I ensure she gets at least an hour of vigorous exercise each day. This includes walks, runs, or playtime in the yard. My cockapoo also enjoys playtime but requires slightly less intense activity due to his smaller size and older age. I ensure that my home environment is safe for both dogs by removing hazardous items such as toxic plants or small objects they could swallow inside and outside. Additionally, I use baby gates if necessary to restrict access to certain areas of the house where they might get into trouble. I have learned by following these steps consistently in caring for my husky and cockapoo at home, and applying similar principles when caring for clients' pets, I’ll create a nurturing environment that supports their health and happiness.
About: I am a happy owner of 2 cats and a yellow lab. I've had pets (cats, dogs, rabbits, lizards, fish, you name it) all my life. I am a huge animal lover and if I was to start my career all over again I might have become a veterinarian! But instead I have chosen the business path and became an accountant. I am very interested in pet sitting as this will give me the best of both worlds! I look forward to taking care of your pet as I would my own spoiled rotten pets at home :) I have watched friends and families cats/dogs over the years, mostly by visiting their house and feeding the pets/going for walks, etc. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my whole life. I have had dogs since the time I was born. My experience administering medication Yes, as long as the dog is used to taking the medication and reacts well to it.

“Amy was fantastic with our Goldendoodle. She was extremely responsive, provided reassuring daily updates/ pics and was so compassionate with our older pup. I am SO very grateful to have found her! I recommend her highly to anyone looking for someone that will, no doubt, make your pet feel right at home. I will definitely use her again in the future. Thanks, Amy!”
“Stacie was amazing took great care of my sweet Mila. Stacie was accommodating and understanding of the hectic holiday travel. She was attentive sending pictures and updates daily. Would definitely book again.”
“Vickie and Heath were wonderful, and our pup had a great time! They sent plenty of pics and updates to let us know how he was doing, and we know he enjoyed himself because he came home pooped! Can’t wait to book our next stay with Vickie, Heath and their awesome fur family.”
“Tom was an amazing sitter for my dog Charlie. He sent videos everyday and that really put my mind at ease. I could tell she was loving every minuet of being on the farm and getting to spend time with his dogs. I could tell that Charlie was treated as one of his own and that he cared about her. I would recommend Tom to anyone and if I need to leave my dog again I know she would in good hands with him. 10/10”
“Nantikan were very prompt in communications and took excellent care of our two dogs while we were out of town for a long weekend. She sent us photos and kept us up to date. Much appreciated!”
“Chase second stay with Kristen and family for a week. He was loved and quite comfortable!! Thanks for taking care of the old man doggo... I know he'll be happy to stay with you in the future!”
“He was beyond friendly, wonderful wife, kind. This is a peaceful, quiet neighborhood, beautiful home. I really liked that there were other dogs present to keep my dog occupied. Send photos of my dog which I obviously appreciated. I did not have to worry about my dog at all once I saw his home/yard. I will be asking Jose to watch my dog the next time I take a trip also. My dog was sad to be back home. This is someone with patience who clearly has respect for animals, and these are great people. It can be strange leaving your dog with someone you do not know, but know that these people treat them like family and keep them comfortable. Thank you so much to your family Jose and thanks for your patience with my dog.”
“Chas did a great job taking care of my dog Abbey while I went on vacation. I don’t travel often but my dog couldn’t come with me this time. It was my first time using Rover, but Chas made me feel at ease and comfortable by communicating with me and sending pics during Abbey’s stay. I appreciate her confident demeanor and friendly personality. Abbey was safe with Chas and had a great time hanging out with the other pups. I will use Chas again when needed! Thank you very much.”
“Davina and her family were so good to Arnie I was afraid he may not come home! Very proactive and responsive communication and pictures so you know your fur baby is happy! She even made homemade doggy treats and personalized each dog’s initial! Beyond exemplary!”
“This was my first time getting a cat sitter through Rover and it was an experience that I would highly recommend. I was so happy that I chose Anwar to care for my older cat for 10 days. My cat requires daily meds and some extra care and Anwar tended to all of his needs in professional and caring manner. I will definitely book with Anwar in the future.”
“My dog’s stay with Teresa and her family went perfectly. I was nervous dropping him off due to him having a medical issue a few days prior to drop off. Teresa was well informed about his condition and did everything to keep me at ease by providing regular updates and photos. He came home a very happy, healthy and tired pup. I can’t recommend Teresa highly enough.”
“Anish was absolutely amazing with our dog Max. Having being a long term dog owner, he knew all about how to handle our dog Max . I felt at ease from the time Max was dropped off till the time we picked Max up. Anish took the extra effort to make sure Max was taken for walks even in the pouring rain, and give him plenty of exercise and company. Max returned home happy, rested & well exercised. I highly recommend Anish to take care of your pet, its their home away from home.”
“Corrine took great care of Sadie. She sent us pictures every day, which we appreciated. It looked like Sadie made a lot of new friends. We would not hesitate to leave Sadie with Corrine and her family in the future.”

“John & Nicole were terrific. From the meet & greet to the communication leading up to, during and even after Cora's stay with them, made us feel 100% confident our dog was not only in safe hands, but being cared for with love. Highly recommended!”
“My hubby is working in the area. I flew in from GA to visit him, so that we could drive to Canada to celebrate our 10th anniversary. He travels with our dog and we needed a safe home away from home while we travel. Ivelisse was great with our fur baby! Love had just been diagnosed with a UTI and she was very attentive, even giving us helpful recommendations on how to prevent further ones. She sent regular updates and we could tell that Love enjoyed the stay as well. We are thankful that Ivelisse was able to accommodate us on such short notice. Thanks for treating our dog like family! We definitely recommend her and would use her again!”
“Becky and Travis were perfect. It was our first time having someone “board” Etta. We only had a couple days to find someone, and they were willing to squeeze in a meet and greet to help ease our minds. It was evident through photos and texts that Etta was having an amazing time with Becky, Travis, and their pups- and being treated with care and love. She was even sent home with a handmade bandana! We’re so thankful!”
“We had never left Jake with a sitter so we were a little bit nervous. But at the moment we met Lauren and saw all her effort to make Jake feel welcome, we felt confident that he was in good hands. She kept me posted and sent pictures of him and he was very happy to be with Lauren. 100% recommended!!! I’m happy we found Lauren!”
