“Ryan did a great job with Spenser. Daily outings, regular updates, and plenty of photos, we always knew our dog was in good hands. When our trip ran four days longer than planned, Ryan didn't skip a beat. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog. Would recommend him to any dog owner without hesitation.”
“My wife and I so greatly appreciate Lupe's exceptional care of my 2 year old dog, Roopert (Roo) during my first Rover experience, which was an entire week! We are accustomed to leaving Roo with close family or friends, so I was initially apprehensive about Rover. However, Lupe's outstanding communication and daily updates, including plenty of photos and videos eased our worries. With Roopert weighing almost 70 lbs and bursting with energy, I truly appreciated Lupe's dedication to spending quality time playing with him, including fetch in his spacious, fully fenced yard, and just his overall competence as it pertained to dog behavior, and the needs associated. When I picked up Roopert this morning, he looked fantastic – clean, content, and absolutely joyful. Lupe's top-notch service and genuine care for our boy are so greatly appreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend Lupe to anyone seeking trustworthy and loving care for their furry friend. Thanks, Lupe!”
“Excellent care! Jacquelyn and Bryan were super attentive and loving to my Ollie girl. They sent pictures and updates throughout and I felt comfortable for the entirety of the stay that she was in good hands. Highly recommend :)”
“I have a 12 yr cockapoo who requires daily medication. Noria has been our overnight sitter since April 2024. She only takes one dog in addition to her own sweet Milo. Noria is incredibly kind, smart, professional, loves dogs and has a gentle/loving way in interacting with my Kobe. She has been truly a blessing to find! My family and I are assured that when we leave Kobe for an overnight with Noria that he is being cared for as if he is part of her family. Kobe can be an anxious dog and slow to warm up to people. She has a patient and playful disposition. From the first time he met her he was happy, calm and it was evident that he felt secure in her care. The medication and feeding instructions have always been followed and understood. We appreciate the photos she sends and the updates as to how he is doing. Noria is a genuine individual who has been a complete joy for our family to work with. We are so happy that she has been caring for Kobe. When we go away we know he looks forward to his time with Noria and Milo!”
“Fantastic Dog Sitting Experience! I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Ahmad! Ahmad was incredibly responsive, keeping me updated throughout my dog Leo's week-long stay. I truly appreciated the regular pictures and updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing Leo was happy and well cared for. It was clear that Leo was in great hands, and I’m so grateful for the love and attention they provided. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter! 🐶✨ Thank you, Ahmad!”
“I had a wonderful experience with this dog sitter! Communication was excellent throughout my trip, and I received daily updates and pictures, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear from the photos and updates that my dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Knowing my dog was in such good hands made it much easier to relax while I was away. I will definitely be booking with them again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter”
“Stephanie is a wonderful sitter. She is so sweet and caring. She is very accommodating and flexible. She will truly love your pet as her own and make them feel at home! My dog Apollo had a great time with Stephanie, and it’s great to know that my dog was in good hands. I would definitely book Stephanie over and over again!”
“Lisa is an absolute gem!! I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her and her family. Lisa asked so many questions to get to know Maddie and ensure she was comfortable. She provided so many pictures and updated me through your the night. I’m so grateful to have found Lisa and will definitely be booking again!”
“This is my second time boarding my dog with Grace and she is AMAZING! She takes such amazing care of my baby and always sends pictures and communicates. Grace is flexible and considerate. Could not recommend her more to anyone looking for quality pet boarding. Thanks Grace!”
“Honey was very comfortable with Jaimie during his almost 2 week stay. This was his second or third visit here. Jaimie is very responsive and sends regular updates on his food and activities. Honey looked happy making new friends and enjoying his time. I will definitely recommend Jaimie for her dog sitting services.”
“Michael and Whitney have a wonderful family with lots of dogs and kids. This was perfect for my dog who is very social and seemed to love his time there. The family is very kind-hearted and decent, I could tell Raja really enjoyed himself there. I would highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using Karina and her family to watch our little guy so I was a little apprehensive but I needn't have been. During our meet & greet they just gushed over him. Karina and especially her daughter took such great care of Teddy when we were away. Though he was happy to see us when we returned I don't think he wanted to leave them! I received lots of pictures and updates and I knew he was in good hands. They're great, truly love dogs and I highly recommend them!”
“Stephanie took amazing care of my cat, Milo! She gave him so much love and attention, and it was clear he was happy and comfortable while I was away. She sent me lots of pictures every day, which made me feel so much better. She even made a daily chart of everything Milo did, including how he was eating and playing. I could tell she really cared about him, and I would definitely trust her to watch Milo again. I highly recommend Stephanie!”
“10-out-of-10 WILL RECOMMEND! Did a introduction a few weeks prior to the date and on sight my babies ran to Margarita! Like these little Cavapoos dragged me with the strength of pits trying to get to her! Her smile and laughter is so infectious, I could see why they were drawn to her! On their drop-off, from the moment they got out of the car, I was a nobody! I didn't know weather to be hurt or relived. I decided to choose relief! I watched my babies walk into Margarita's home as if they lived there! I received updates on their sleep time and on pick-up, they were very happy to have made a amazing friend in her and her entire family! I will use her again and again and am very grateful for the care and love she showed my babies!”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family was always surrounded by pets. Dogs, turtles, bunnies and even the neighborhood squirrels and deer seemed to know our house was a safe place to visit! I truly believe every living thing deserves love and care, and that's a value that was instilled in me early on. We were never able to have a dog of our own growing up since we lived in a rental, but now that I have my own home, I'm so excited to finally be able to care for dogs the way I've always wanted to. I have hands-on experience. I’ve stayed overnight for two weeks to care for a friend’s dog, handling feeding, walks, and all-around care. My relatives also have dogs of all different sizes and breeds, so I'm very comfortable and confident around dogs of any type. I’ve also cat sat for my close teacher for about a month several times as well. Even when a dog isn't mine, I make it a point to visit, bring treats, and make them feel special and I bring that same love and attention to every dog I care for. Your pup will get lots of playtime, cuddles, and kisses, and I'll make sure they feel completely comfortable and at ease with me from day one! I am currently working and taking classes remotely and so I’ll have plenty of time to spend time and take care of the dogs. In my home, your dog gets a comfortable space, regular walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles, just like part of the family. In your home, I follow your dog's normal routine closely, from feeding times to walks, so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Either way, my goal is the same: your dog feels loved and cared for like their own
“Bonnie was available for a first time, last minute boarding request and the whole experience from a quick meet and greet onwards was great. Very reassuring to have Luke stay at her home. He was comfortable for sure. Thank you!”
“Thana and Subanga are true dog lovers, they took great care of Elliot and their communication whilst we were away was « off the charts » Highly recommended”

“Mariia was wonderful! So kind and our cat adored her! She was very communicative and kept us very updated on our cat as we were away. We will definitely book her again!”
“Last minute call! Kaitlyn was available and cheerful about it she also called to make sure she had the right food and she had to go into hiding place in the garage for the key because I was not prepared to be away.”
“Hadija was so wonderful to my cat Beau! I asked for lots of updates and she delivered- I never had to wonder what he was up to or if he was doing okay! She clearly really cares for animals deeply and was so sweet and loving to him. She also left my apartment cleaner than when I left it!”
“Madeleine was wonderful! Our cat immediately took to her and she was prompt and caring in spending time with her and making sure she was fed and had a clean litter box. I will 100% be booking her again next time and recommend her. Thank you so much, Madeleine!”
About: I have stayed over and taken care of both family members cars and friends of family members for the last 10 years. I’ve cleaned litter boxes, spent lots of time playing with their furry friends, fed them, offered fresh water and made sure they stayed safe, loved, and happy.
“As always, Cristina is amazing. She’s flexible, communicative, and has a sharp eye for the exact type of small thing you’d want a pet sitter to notice, like things laying around the cats could get into or something abnormal about their appearance or actions. She always does everything that’s needed to be done. We’ve been using her for over a year now and love her!”
“Wilson was a great pet sitter. He sent pictures of my pets everyday and documented everything through the app. He spent time with them a swell which i really appreciated. I will definitely rebook with him in the future.”
“Hiral is amazing! She was so easy to get in contact with and she was able to work last minute. She dropped in on our cat and went above and beyond what I was expecting her to do. She fed, refilled the water, and emptied out our cat's litter box. Hiral is extremely sweet and I would highly recommend booking her for any furry friend!”
“Heather took care of our boys very well. They were anxious at a new place and Heather gave them save and eased them in. She kept us updated on their status and photos. Very easy to coordinate and plan drop and pickup timings.”
“Lori went above and beyond during her visits to take care of my cat Minnie, it is just so obvious how much she cares about the animals and their comfort. She also provided great communication throughout the visits. Highly recommended.”
“This was our first time booking through Rover, as well as our first time hiring someone that we do not know to take care of our pets… She was great, and I feel really gave the cats a nice level of comfort while we were a lot away for so long… I strongly recommend her and will be looking forward to booking her for our next trip”
“I can't recommend Cindy enough! She went above and beyond while caring for my cat. From regular updates to making sure every detail was taken care of, she made being away so much less stressful. It's clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. My cat was relaxed, happy, and well looked after when I returned. Thank you, Cindy!”
About: What sets me apart is that I truly understand cats — their quirks, their routines, and their need for both independence and affection. As a cat mom to two, I’m experienced with everything from daily playtime and feeding routines to administering medications and keeping litter boxes clean and fresh (yes, I actually don’t mind it!). I’m patient with shy or senior cats and always take time to build trust. Your cat’s comfort and well-being are my top priorities, and I treat every pet like they’re my own.
“Anoti was amazing!!!! She came to visit and took care of Onyx while I went to my sister wedding. onyx looked happy when Anoti sent photos and she even heated up onyx food for dinner time. I would definitely use Anoti again!”
“Genesis, now formally known to both Sunny and I as Auntie G, took care of Sunny like he was her own. She came to the rescue when I needed a sitter last minute for ten days!!! and gained my trust throughout. Genesis reached out before I could while on vacation and sent constant check ins to let me know the status of Sunny. Genesis is trustworthy and genuinely cares so much for my Sunny boy. She even gifted us a toy that Sunny grew fond of. I will absolutely no doubt book with her again. Thank you again!!”

“Wonderful experience. He is super attentive and really wants to know your pet's needs. His place is beautiful and with so much space any pet would be happy and comfortable. Would def recommend.”
“I was refereed by a friend to Rover app, for my emotional support dog. Hercules was my deceased sons bestfriend who has been with us as a family for 7 yrs, but my emotional support for 4 yrs. I am so thankful to have found Ahmad through the app. He excepted my dog in such short notice yesterday. Ahmad sent photos and gave updates of the care throughout the day. He opened his home to my fur baby. This was my first time ever using the app and Ahmad is my first choice care for Hercules”
“Our pup loved his day at camp! We got pix showing him happily playing with other dogs, running and enjoying his day. He loved being there and we were happy to know that he was in good hands!”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for a variety of breeds and sizes, from two Shih Tzus at the same time to a 90-pound Boxer, and now my lovable English Bulldog. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I'm comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I understand the importance of providing pets with patience, attention, exercise, and lots of affection while their owners are away. I work from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, and I'm available for early morning and evening walks, daytime boarding for pets with light activity needs, and boarding on weekends. I'm also available for weekday care and boarding after 5 PM. Because I'm home most of the day, pets can enjoy regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection in a calm, comfortable environment. Pets in my care are treated like family. I have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and a friendly English Bulldog who gets along well with other pets. I typically accept dogs under 50 lbs but am happy to care for other pets as well. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and pets with special needs, including administering medications when needed. For boarding, pets are rarely left alone for more than an hour, and I do my best to maintain their normal routines so they feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free while you're away.
About: Experience helping raise puppy/younger dogs and training, also have experience with adult/senior foster dogs. Includes walking, bathing, trips to the dog park, feeding, training, treat/crate training I also looooove brushing dogs, the fluffier the better! I like to stay home on weekends with my senior dog Sapphire. Shes a rescue and very calm (she doesn’t bark) and absolutely loves other dogs! We love to take walks and play on the patio outside. I am pretty much free from Wednesday evenings-Saturday nights! Although I live in an apartment, I keep my living room and general space wide and accessible which is easier and less stressful for the dogs. I have a back patio we can play on (not black so the heat won’t hurt their paws), and have a park and yard across the street! I will give your pup lots of love and cuddles and they will definitely be a little spoiled! I also will feed them in a separate area from my dog but bring them back together to play :)
About: I have loved and cared for animals for most of my life. Growing up, I raised and cared for dogs and many other household pets, which taught me responsibility, patience, and attentiveness from a young age. One of my earliest experiences was helping care for a mother dog and her newborn puppies. Since moving to the United States 15 years ago, I have regularly helped friends and neighbors care for their pets while they were away. In my professional life, I have been an elementary school teacher for the past ten years. My experience working with children has strengthened my ability to be patient, observant, dependable, and responsive to individual needs. I treat every pet with the same level of care and attention that I would give to a member of my own family. I am a full-time elementary school teacher during the school year. During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day to provide care, supervision, companionship, and exercise for dogs. Because I am home for most of the day during summer break, I can accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I am committed to maintaining your pet’s routine and ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for while you are away. I live in an end-unit townhouse in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood with nearby walking paths, parks, and green spaces. My home provides a calm and comfortable environment where pets can relax and feel secure. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and daily routines. I supervise pets closely, keep them on leash during walks unless otherwise directed in a secure area, and make safety my top priority at all times. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I strive to provide individualized care that helps them feel at home.
About: I grew up caring for my family's black labs my entire life. I currently own two beautiful baby Shih Tzus, Tony & Guiness with my beautiful fiancé. They add so much joy to our lives and are a big part of our growing family. I invest a lot of time and effort into training them daily, to build trust and give them the best lives possible. Taking care of the animals in my life is a passion of mine, and I treat every pet like it's my own. I'm currently making pet care my full time job. After years of training athletes, I'm opting for a career that is rewarding in different ways. I'm available any time Monday through Friday and occasionally a weekend if I'm around and if it's a good fit. My apartment complex has many areas to walk outside, with sidewalks and open grass areas where I walk my boys. There is also a spacious indoor dog park in the basement of my complex where I take them to play, especially on rainy days. We do training both indoors and on walks outside, individually and as a family. I also expose my dogs to as many experiences as possible, bringing them to community events, outdoor dining, and social gatherings. Our family does not believe in leaving pets home alone all day every day, and want to give them as much stimulation and social interaction as possible.
“Josephine’s first stay with Pardeep was seamless. Pardeep was very accommodating with my schedule and provided a safe, calm, enjoyable day for Jo. He kept me up to date on her as the day went on and that is always reassuring. His dogs were friendly and respectful which I greatly appreciate due to Josephine being a senior. I would gladly recommend him and will seek his care for Josephine again soon.”
“Esther took amazing care of Enzo! This was one of his first daycare experiences, and she made us feel completely at ease. She kept us updated with photos and a detailed summary of his day, which we really appreciated. I highly recommend Esther to anyone looking for someone who is caring, attentive, and trustworthy. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Esther, for taking such great care of Enzo!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs since age 12, worked alongside a professional trainer, and raised my own Pitbull and I am now raising a Havanese. Experienced with multiple breeds, puppies through seniors, I bring patience, structure, and genuine love. If you are new to Rover, use my code https://www.rover.com/sit/charlv18304, to get $40 OFF your first booking. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I maintain a flexible schedule while job searching, allowing me to provide reliable walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and attentive companionship throughout the week. I create a calm, secure environment by following each pet’s routine, monitoring behavior closely, and maintaining clean, pet-safe spaces. I communicate regularly with owners and prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I have fenced in yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. If needed I also have crates if your baby feels more comfortable in their own safe space.
“Kosby had another awesome stay and we think that Skye and Sicily are becoming his best friends! He enjoys the whole family so much, rode back home perfectly and was super tired, which means he really had a great time! Kosby was cared for amazingly and will 100% be back the next time we need doggy daycare for him!”

“Ginnette is Wonderful!!! I am very cautious when it comes to the proper care of my 2 Boys (having some extra physical needs and diet requests.) We started with a meet & greet, and then a day care. Ginnette is everything I am looking for in a pet sitter–providing a calm, secure, safe and loving environment…she gained my trust very quickly. While worried they would be nervous in a new home, within an hour she sent me a picture of them super relaxed sleeping on her sofa. I sincerely appreciated the pics / updates I received during their stay…I know she took extra time to really get to know them. They were happy when I picked them up and Fozzie actually cried for Ginnette when she walked out of the room! I agree with another review that called her a “Dog Whisperer”! I am thrilled to have Ginnette care for the Boys for future stays!”
“Isbath and her family welcomed my puppy Koltrane with open arms. I was grateful that they were able to accommodate me at the very last minute and provide daycare services for 4 days straight. They provided a safe backyard for play and potty breaks, and enrichment time. My puppy tried to run back into the yard the 1st day when I picked him, and was always excited to return and play. They were understanding of all Koltranes excitable energy which made me comfortable with bringing him back. Highly recommended.”
About: I have my own dog (9 years old). I take excellent care of her. I walk with her more than 2 hours every day. I like playing and talking to her, bringing her to dog park. She is my sweetheart fur baby. I wash her food and water bowls every day and give her shower per month in summer and 2 months in winter. We go hiking together and I wish she keeps her nature. I had a problem to find someone to take care of my dog when I was traveling. That’s why I would like to help take care of your pets. Please let me know if there are any specific needs you’d like me to know about your pets beforehand. Example: did you pet take all shots? Your dog will bite or bark to other dogs or some people? Will she/he likes to chase animals? I’m currently semi-retired so I have ample time and flexibility to meet schedule needs. I can provide multiple visits during the day if needed and give you daily update. I’m reliable and offer company and care for your loved ones that cater to each family’s needs. I can also offer the daily update, to ensure your loved ones are always looked after. I have the fenced backyard where they can play with my dog together.
“Rylee absolutely enjoyed her stay. Kumud is so good and caring, and she sure takes care of dogs like her own. I was shared continuous updates about Rylee and how she was doing. Thank you Kumud, I was able to focus on my day peacefully knowing you were taking so good care of my furry baby Rylee.”
About: Animals have always been my passion, so I recently traded in my corporate desk for a life full of wagging tails and happy paws! As a proud pet parent to a rescued English Setter and a mischievous Tabby cat, I understand the love, care, and patience our furry friends need. Beyond pet care, I’m actively involved in rescue work, helping dogs find loving homes despite tough circumstances. Whether it’s a long walk, a cuddle session, or some playtime, I’m here to treat your pet like my own! Pet care is my current full time job. After making the switch from corporate, my focus has been rescue work and providing quality care for pets. Based on the needs of the client, I make sure I deliver the service I would like to receive if I were away. I make sure to let the clients know of anything that might of grabbed my attention during my time with your pet, as I try to pay close attention to detail.
“This was not only my first time with Julissa but my first time using Rover. Wow did she make an amazing impression! My puppy Luna loves her! She was very response and immediately replied to any questions I had, or If I was just checking in. She was timely having everything ready for drop off and pick up. She followed my instructions for a puppy that has stomach problems. Not to mention she sent pictures of my puppy throughout the day which was so thoughtful. I picked up a tired happy pup! Will definitely be using Julissa in the near future!”
“Buster has come to Alice’s house MANY times and he always has a good time! Communication with Alice is always smooth and I am really thankful she and her family takes great care of Buster!”
About: What sets my sister and me apart is the personal care and communication we provide. We understand that every pet has their own personality, habits, and needs, so we carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, sleeping arrangements, and any special preferences. We have a spacious yard for supervised outdoor time and aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel at home while their family is away. We treat every pet as if they were part of our own family and give them individualized attention. We also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents. During every stay, we provide regular photos and videos and keep communication open so you can see how your pet is doing. Our goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, confident, and stress-free from drop-off to pickup. My sister and I work together to provide reliable and attentive care for every pet we welcome. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be present throughout the day for walks, meals, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection.

About: Animals have always been at the center of my life. I share my home with four cats (three traveled with me from Ukraine and one rescued from Houston) and a Bernese Mountain Dog who’s training to become a certified therapy dog. I work remotely, so I’m home all day and able to give pets constant attention. Before moving to the U.S., I co-founded an adoption center in Ukraine dedicated to rescuing and rehoming critically ill stray cats. I’ve completed multiple courses in animal behavior and publish freelance articles about the latest research in pet care. My dog has completed four manners courses and holds all his certificates, and I create human-grade treats in a professional dehydrator (and planning to start a business), so my furry guests are welcome to sample them if they have no allergies. We have a spacious home with a fenced yard, two guest rooms to separate our furry guests if needed, and a pool for supervised dog play. I work remotely only a few hours a day, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I’m also very physically active, ensuring your furry friend will never be bored. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment and keep routines consistent to reduce stress. In my home or yours, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, maintain secure doors and gates, and use positive reinforcement for safe play. I keep food, water, and litter areas clean and monitor pets closely during walks or outdoor time.
“Wilson was wonderful. We are a big order given we have one anxious dog AND my 80yr old FIL likes to walk with his dogs. Wilson was gentle, kind, and patient with both the pups and Dad.”
“Excellent, professional and very loving and caring. Very trustworthy. She’s takes awesome care of my lively 5 year old and my blind and deaf old man. She’s wonderful! Very highly recommend”
“Ken was great for our pug puppy's first walk! He was accommodating and super communicative, which made planning easy — a nice change from other local walkers who can be slow to respond. He was responsible with our pup, and she clearly had a great time. Highly recommend!”
“Cindy is wonderful with my Senior Dog and caters to his needs on every walk and feeding. She takes her time and has patience with him. She makes sure he’s comfortable and always gives updates and communicates after every walk.”
About: With 6 years of hands-on dog ownership and experience caring for friends’ pups, I treat every pet like my own. Reliable, loving care guaranteed! Your pet will feel at home with me. With a hybrid work schedule and a 5-minute commute, I’m perfectly set up to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. On work-from-home days, your pet has my company all day. On office days, I’m close enough to pop home during breaks to check in and care for them. Whether I’m welcoming your pet into my home or visiting theirs, I prioritize their comfort and well-being above everything. I follow their existing routine to keep them settled, provide regular feeding, fresh water, walks, and plenty of playtime. I also send updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and in safe hands.
“Very pleasant and reliable. Can’t say enough about Yana. When it’s time for Zeus’s walk he sit by the dog waiting eagerly. She is great with my Zeus. Yana is great. I would highly recommend her”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I grew up in a home with Rottweilers, which taught me early on the importance of proper care, structure, and lots of love. Over the years, I’ve lived with rescue dogs and have also fostered dogs in the past, gaining experience helping dogs adjust to new environments and routines. Currently, I live in a home with a rescue St. Bernard and a Bernese Mountain Dog. While they aren’t my own dogs, I spend a large amount of my time caring for them, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I’m very comfortable with large breeds as well as dogs who may need extra patience and understanding. I’ve worked with many breeds and mixes, including Rottweilers, Bernese Mountain Dogs, French Bulldogs, St. Bernard, Labs, Doodle mixes, Pomeranians, Boxers, and a Rhodesian Ridgeback. I understand that every dog is unique, and I always aim to provide care that meets each dog’s individual needs while making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. I work part time as a yoga teacher and 3 days a week in a hospital setting. This allows me to have a flexible schedule on Mondays, Wednesdays, and weekend (when I am not at the hospital) for daytime visits to take your pets out on walks, stop in for potty breaks or afternoon lunch/snacks. I currently do not have any pets of my own which makes overnight stays to care for your pets easy. I will come to your home for to care for your pet and offer them the services you wish to have for them. Whether that be overnight stays, daytime dog walks, offering meals, or even just some outdoor playtime in your backyard.
“Shirali was wonderful and my boys instantly got along with her. Very communicative, and I could tell she truly enjoyed my pups. I will definitely be using her in the future if she is available!”
“Hiral has walked our dog Hank a few times now and Hank always has a great time with her. She sends pictures and updates throughout her visit, even feeds him if needed. She is our go to!”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family was always surrounded by pets. Dogs, turtles, bunnies and even the neighborhood squirrels and deer seemed to know our house was a safe place to visit! I truly believe every living thing deserves love and care, and that's a value that was instilled in me early on. We were never able to have a dog of our own growing up since we lived in a rental, but now that I have my own home, I'm so excited to finally be able to care for dogs the way I've always wanted to. I have hands-on experience. I’ve stayed overnight for two weeks to care for a friend’s dog, handling feeding, walks, and all-around care. My relatives also have dogs of all different sizes and breeds, so I'm very comfortable and confident around dogs of any type. I’ve also cat sat for my close teacher for about a month several times as well. Even when a dog isn't mine, I make it a point to visit, bring treats, and make them feel special and I bring that same love and attention to every dog I care for. Your pup will get lots of playtime, cuddles, and kisses, and I'll make sure they feel completely comfortable and at ease with me from day one! I am currently working and taking classes remotely and so I’ll have plenty of time to spend time and take care of the dogs. In my home, your dog gets a comfortable space, regular walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles, just like part of the family. In your home, I follow your dog's normal routine closely, from feeding times to walks, so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Either way, my goal is the same: your dog feels loved and cared for like their own

About: I’ve had a dog ever since I could remember. Friends and family have left me in charge of their pet when they left for vacation I am free most weekend, mornings and afternoons, and would love to do something productive with my time like taking cute dogs for a walk My dog does not sleep in a crate he is able to go wherever he wants. However, I can do whatever the family is used to for their animals.
“If you're looking for a dedicated and compassionate dog walker, Abby is the perfect choice! She has done an incredible job taking care of our three fur babies. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she truly loves animals. Abby is not only attentive and reliable but also exceptionally skilled at understanding our dogs' needs and personalities. Her communication with us has been excellent; she keeps us updated with photos and messages, which gives us peace of mind. It's evident that she goes above and beyond to ensure our dogs are happy and well-cared for. We couldn't be more grateful for her services. I highly recommend Abby to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring dog walker. Your pets will be in great hands! 🐾”
About: I have loved and cared for animals for most of my life. Growing up, I raised and cared for dogs and many other household pets, which taught me responsibility, patience, and attentiveness from a young age. One of my earliest experiences was helping care for a mother dog and her newborn puppies. Since moving to the United States 15 years ago, I have regularly helped friends and neighbors care for their pets while they were away. In my professional life, I have been an elementary school teacher for the past ten years. My experience working with children has strengthened my ability to be patient, observant, dependable, and responsive to individual needs. I treat every pet with the same level of care and attention that I would give to a member of my own family. I am a full-time elementary school teacher during the school year. During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day to provide care, supervision, companionship, and exercise for dogs. Because I am home for most of the day during summer break, I can accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I am committed to maintaining your pet’s routine and ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for while you are away. I live in an end-unit townhouse in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood with nearby walking paths, parks, and green spaces. My home provides a calm and comfortable environment where pets can relax and feel secure. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and daily routines. I supervise pets closely, keep them on leash during walks unless otherwise directed in a secure area, and make safety my top priority at all times. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I strive to provide individualized care that helps them feel at home.

“Ryan did a great job with Spenser. Daily outings, regular updates, and plenty of photos, we always knew our dog was in good hands. When our trip ran four days longer than planned, Ryan didn't skip a beat. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog. Would recommend him to any dog owner without hesitation.”
“My wife and I so greatly appreciate Lupe's exceptional care of my 2 year old dog, Roopert (Roo) during my first Rover experience, which was an entire week! We are accustomed to leaving Roo with close family or friends, so I was initially apprehensive about Rover. However, Lupe's outstanding communication and daily updates, including plenty of photos and videos eased our worries. With Roopert weighing almost 70 lbs and bursting with energy, I truly appreciated Lupe's dedication to spending quality time playing with him, including fetch in his spacious, fully fenced yard, and just his overall competence as it pertained to dog behavior, and the needs associated. When I picked up Roopert this morning, he looked fantastic – clean, content, and absolutely joyful. Lupe's top-notch service and genuine care for our boy are so greatly appreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend Lupe to anyone seeking trustworthy and loving care for their furry friend. Thanks, Lupe!”

“Lisa is an absolute gem!! I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her and her family. Lisa asked so many questions to get to know Maddie and ensure she was comfortable.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for a variety of breeds and sizes, from two Shih Tzus at the same time to a 90-pound Boxer, and now my lovable English Bulldog. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I'm comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I understand the importance of providing pets with patience, attention, exercise, and lots of affection while their owners are away. I work from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, and I'm available for early morning and evening walks, daytime boarding for pets with light activity needs, and boarding on weekends. I'm also available for weekday care and boarding after 5 PM. Because I'm home most of the day, pets can enjoy regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection in a calm, comfortable environment. Pets in my care are treated like family. I have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and a friendly English Bulldog who gets along well with other pets. I typically accept dogs under 50 lbs but am happy to care for other pets as well. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and pets with special needs, including administering medications when needed. For boarding, pets are rarely left alone for more than an hour, and I do my best to maintain their normal routines so they feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free while you're away.
“Charlene was absolutely amazing! Her home and backyard is a perfect set up to host pets. Charlene loved and cared for my girls as though they were her own. Will definitely be using her again soon!”
“I can't say enough good things about Bhavani. From the moment we walked in, I felt completely at ease. Bhavani took the time to learn about my dog's routine and preferences, which gave me real peace of mind. Her house was spacious, and full of toys for the furry babies and her kids were so friendly and played with Astro. I loved getting daily photo and video updates and seeing my baby happy and being well-cared-for. When I picked him up, he was calm and happy. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dog now. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a safe and loving experience.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and reliable pet caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Before fostering cats, I fostered dogs and I even had two “foster fails!” My two sweet pitties stole my heart and became permanent members of my family. Over the years, I’ve fostered numerous dogs and cats, including seniors, young babies, and shy cats. Fostering has taught me that every pet is unique, and I love taking the time to build trust, help them feel safe, and provide care that fits their individual personality and needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and patience. I’m also comfortable giving basic medications when needed, but my greatest strength is creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets can relax and be themselves. My professional background has strengthened my patience, reliability, and attention to detail, and I bring those qualities to every visit. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll always treat them like they’re part of my own family. You can also count on regular photo and video updates, so you’ll always know your furry baby is happy and well cared for! I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to provide dependable, attentive care while keeping your pet’s schedule consistent. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn their routine, respect their personality, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Whether in my home or yours, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh food and water, and lots of love. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they know their furry family member is happy and well cared for.
“Dilan was the best dog sitter I have ever hired. My dog was well taken care of. She exercised her twice a day and sent me videos and pictures while I was away. My dog appeared to be very happy…which made me very happy. I couldn’t be more pleased with the level of care Dilan provided for my baby! Thank you!”
“Raj is an excellent dog sitter. Raj easy going, paying attention to detail and accommodating. Raj kept sending pictures and updates throughout the stay. Will book again, no doubt.”
“I can't say enough good things about Anoti! She and her family welcomed Dante with open arms and really made him feel at home. Dante is very high-energy, and Anoti accommodated nicely with plenty of long walks. I could see from the photos how much fun Dante was having and how much love he was getting. I would definitely seek out Anoti for our future boarding needs!”
