“She is truly amazing. She instantly made me feel at ease leaving our baby. Very communicative, daily updates with photos and videos. She goes above and beyond. Our baby suffers from allergies, and she was great with keeping up medications and updates on symptoms. It was his first birthday not at home with us, and she went out of her way to ensure his day was special and got him special birthday treats. She made him feel comfortable, very loving and truly caring. I can tell she has a big heart, and really has a love for animals, I saw she really cared. It was so nice to see, she eased my mind, especially as I tend to over worry about him, and he was very happy with her as so were we. We would DEFINITELY rebook. I cannot thank her enough for her care, love, attentiveness she had for our baby Guinness.”
“What can I say? They were absolutely amazing with Trig. Sandra sent pictures and kept me updated during his stay there. She evn gave him a squeaky toy before he left and those are his absolute favorite toys. He loved it there! I highly recommend leaving your pet with Sandra.”

This was my first time using a dog sitter and I am very pleased with the entire experience. Thank you again Kim for everything. I would use her again if I need a sitter.”
“Wow. Jessica came through with flying colors during a family emergency! I think she did an incredible job! She picked the dog up from the apartment, took care of an aging dog on meds, offered to feed him human food because he ran out of prescription food, and dealt with the accidents from a traumatized 18 year old pup. I would recommend Jessica in a heartbeat. Thank you, Jessica!”

She even made them special treats to come home with.”
“This was at least the 10th time we have used Cristina to sit for our middle-aged fur baby, Susie. When we arrived at Cristina’s, Susie ran up to her to greet her, so I know she feels comfortable. When I picked her up, Susie’s things were ready to go and she had obviously been well taken care of. Thank you, Cristina!”

“Madelyn was wonderful and took great care of my fur baby even when my driveway was covered in snow and also helped us out over Christmas! Our cat is a needy boy and usually complains a lot when we leave but he didn’t seem to mind this time. Would definitely recommend!”
“Kim was a great sitter for my special needs cat. She gave him the care and attention he needed and made sure I was updated on whether he’d gone to the bathroom. I also appreciate her willingness to care for him over the holidays - it was a huge help since we could not be home with him!”
“Lillie was outstanding while watching our cat while we were away. We received many picture updates and descriptions of each visit. You can tell she is a true animal lover and provided lots of TLC during her visits. This was our first time using River and we could not be happier with Lillie as our pet sitter. 10/10 would recommend and would rebook her in a heartbeat.”
“Tammie was an absolute lifesaver while I was on vacation! She came three times a day to care for my cat, including administering oral medication, which can be a challenge—but she handled it with total professionalism and care. She was always on time, incredibly communicative, and sent regular updates that really helped me relax while I was away. When our flight was unexpectedly delayed, she didn’t hesitate to make additional last-minute visits to make sure my cat was safe and comfortable. Her flexibility and dedication truly went above and beyond. It’s such a relief to know my pet is in such capable and compassionate hands. I will 100% be booking with Tammie again and can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“My first time ever leaving my to 2 cats with someone besides family to go away on vacation for 2 weeks. She took very good care of my girls and sent me photos along the way. I appreciate everything you did and hope I am still taken on as a client someday despite my very late pick up as I had advised her before I left. Late flights coming from city are the worst, ugh.”

“Kristina did an amazing job with our cat Maxie! Although he is very shy and skittish, he warmed up to Kristina almost immediately. She followed our instructions perfectly and actually went above and beyond to make Maxie feel comfortable. The proof is in the pictures she took of herself and Maxie together. He looks completely relaxed and happy. We would not hesitate to ask Kristina back again! She’s amazing.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Forestburgh
“Kelly Was absolutely wonderful with my dog Freya! I came up from the city to visit the art museum there, and Kelly graciously hosted my little dog with her lovely older dog for the day. It was really a wonderful experience and Kelly took such great care of my dog.”
“Dawn is very personable and down to earth! She kept me updated with my puppy’s experience throughout the day and he’s always so excited every time he sees her! I will always come back to her while I’m in the area!”

I’m a stay at home mom so i have all the time to take care of your pups. I have 3 friendly pups to keep your pups company at all times. They can play in the back yard as well with me supervising.
“I loved the daycare for our dog (LOVE). Sandra and her husband took very good care of her and treated her like their own and made her feel like home the whole entire time there. I was at ease knowing she was in good hands and loved that they have been in touch the whole time sending photos and videos of her at all times. She looked so happy and not crying like she usually does away from us, I would 100% recommend them both. I truly say they both are to trust and are great dog people to all because of how they were with mine. I will definitely be booking with them again for sure ! thank you again for everything 😌 very satisfied !”
“Jayne was an exceptional puppy sitter. She treated and loved Daisy as if she were her own. She sent photos to help pass the time and was overly accommodating. I will most definitely bring Daisy back for another visit soon. Thank you!”
About: My first pet ever was a bunny named Einstein. I then had a parakeet, Guinea pigs, cats, more bunnies and of course a few dogs throughout the course of my life. I quite literally squeal every time I see a cute dog. My friend recommended this to me because she recognized my love for dogs. I am currently working full time and on my days off I’m hustling by doing DoorDash, or providing Content Day services to other creators in the neighborhood. On a day where I close at 1:30pm I can fit in a dog walk for a few hours in the morning. If I open I have time after work to pick up more work. I treat my pets as an extension of my heart. Providing love, attention and affection to dogs really warms my heart. Fulfilling their lovely doggo needs is a privilege.
About: As a doctor, I’ve spent years caring for people of all ages and I bring that same compassion, patience, and attention to detail to the pets I look after. What sets me apart is my medical background and calm, caring approach to both routine and unexpected situations. I’m comfortable helping with pets who need a bit of extra attention, like seniors, those on medication, or anxious animals, always ensuring they feel safe and cared for. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old, when I started helping my neighbors with their pets while they were away. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments — from playful puppies who need consistency and training, to older dogs who require gentler care and medication on schedule. In the past, I’ve also trained many dogs, focusing on consistency, positive reinforcement, and gentle play to help them learn and have fun. Whether your pet needs structured walks, quiet companionship, or a steady hand during medication time, I’ll treat them like one of my own family members. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m an early riser and make time every day for walks, play, and check-ins. My work schedule is flexible, allowing me to plan visits around each pet’s needs—whether it’s morning exercise, midday drop-ins, or evening companionship. Caring for animals is a relaxing and rewarding part of my week. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I give my own. I follow your instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, and keep pets safe with close supervision indoors and secure leashes outdoors. I focus on helping pets feel comfortable and calm, especially when their families are away, so they always feel cared for and at ease.
“Absolutely wonderful person and my pup LOVES her! He is a fairly big dog (German Shepard) and she was great with him. He has a very nice space to run around and play, and I can tell by his excitement and body language that he feels comfortable there. 10/10 would book again!”
“I highly Recommend Alexis for your doggy daycare or boarding needs. My puppy Finneas absolutely loves going To Alexis’s home. When I come to pick him up he never wants to leave. He gets so much attention and exercise while with her. And I love the fact that he is getting to hang out with Other dogs. She genuinely loves to see Finneas and it is obvious she truly loves what she does.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog for boarding and using the Rover app.Jonathon went above and beyond to take care of my dog I even ran out of food and he offered to run to the store to grab some more. Throughout the stay he updated me and sent pictures easing some of my anxiety. I now know I have someone that I can rely on and my dog will be taking good care of and I will be using.Jonathon for my future boarding needs! I’ve also recommended him to my friends as well.”
“This was my first time using Rover and actually my first time leaving my dog with anyone for more than an hour (besides the vet). We were traveling and staying at an Airbnb so we could do a day at Legoland. I was nervous, but everything went great! Bailey immediately took to Amy's assistant who came out to greet us and happily went with her, which is not something he would do with most people. She sent a video and some photos while we were at the park, which was a huge relief to know he was doing okay. I would definitely recommend Amy and am much more at ease using Rover again.”
“My pup Farrah is in her glory when staying with Hannelie. She has room to roam and two great pups to play with. Hannelie prioritizes safety and fun, leaving me with nothing but confidence that Farrah has the best care.”

I usually keep dogs indoors for comfort and safety, but I also have a giant crate available if you’d like your dog to be crated.

“Michelle is the best! I needed a sitter last minute and she responded immediately. When I met her I could see she truly loved animals and my pets would be in good hands. Our dog Mocha and Michelle became best buddies right away, and even made friends with our wary cat. Michelle was prompt and kept me up to date with daily pictures. I would definitely recommend her to sit for your fur babies.”
“Madelyn has been very communicative and supportive while working with Dio! I greatly appreciate her patience and kindness when working with Dio who is nervous around new people. I will definitely be working with her again!”
About: I grew up with lots of animals in my house my whole entire life. Everything from birds, reptiles, fish to basic ones such as cats and dogs. In summer I was on farm with horses, cows, pigs, chickens and much more. I have been watching dogs for as long as I remember. Both in my house as well as other homes. I do rescues for a company that specializes in pit bulls. I love to spend time, play, teach and get to know the four legged friends. Life without cats, dogs and other furry animals would be really boring. It is an honor to be there to take care of your pet when you are in need. I'm happy to help with last minute emergencies.
About: Life long animal lover here. Living on a few acres with all different kinds of pets. I have cared for everything from dogs to cats, chickens, rabbits, and even goats.

About: I've loved them all. From guinea pigs to rabbits, hamsters and ferrets, parrots and fish, cats and dogs. I have experience with dogs of many breeds, from German shepherds to Chihuahuas, newfoundlands and jack russells. I try and understand every dog breed to understand their unique needs. No dog is the same! But they all love unconditionally, so I try and give them the same. I have some training in puppies and have experience with puppies as well as elders. I've house sat in the pets homes where I know they are comfortable and can have their routines and environments. I just want to give each pet whatever it is they need. I have had pets since I was born, my first dog being a boxer. Almost never without a dog, but certainly never without a pet. Currently I have a german shepherd/collie mix named Blue. Even at six years old, he has the energy of a puppy! We run every day in a field nearby, sometimes visit the dog park, and have frequent visits with his dog friends. Making sure he is happy and healthy is a daily priority in my life. In the clients home, I get in depth information on their pets routines, food schedules and preparations, walking and play time, and whether they are crated or not. I will follow your instructions to a T.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—whether it’s been my own pets, helping out friends, or rescuing strays in need. Both of my cats were rescued by me, and I’ve always had a natural connection with animals. They’re drawn to me, and I love giving them the same trust and affection they show me. I grew up with big dogs, including two pit bulls and a boxer, so I’m confident and comfortable handling larger breeds. Over the years, I’ve potty trained dogs, taught tricks, and cared for pets with all kinds of temperaments. My experience goes beyond cats and dogs—I’ve also cared for frogs, snakes, turtles, and even had the incredible opportunity to volunteer with elephants in Thailand.

“Alexis was amazing! She came and took my dog out for a walk at the exact time and sent me the sweetest picture of him on his walk! She was super nice and easy to communicate with, I would recommend her to anyone and I would definitely book her again in a heart beat!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes, I have volunteered countless hours in a shelter and have lived with dogs for the last 10 years. I have experience with both pure breed and rescues. I am an active person so your dog will always have someone to play with! I currently work nights so late night or early morning visits are never an issue! I love to stay active and four legged friends the attention they deserve, so if you want your animal to not only be acted for but loved then please reach out to me. Depending on the services provided and your dogs actively level I would love to take them for a long walk or chase each other in the backyard. I am currently a nursing student so I enjoy having an outlet of pet therapy to distract from the stress of school work.
“Natisha is a very rare find. If you’re wondering whether to book her or not do yourself and your fur babies a favor and just do it. We are two medical professionals and our schedules suddenly overlapped in a way that our bully girl needed someone to take care of her twice a week in the middle of the day. Natisha to the rescue! So responsive, so responsible, so punctual, so loving and caring to our girl! Now we’ve permanently retained her twice a week. Five stars isn’t enough stars for Natisha’s service.”

About: Hi there.. I have always owned a dog in my life. I have worked at an animal shelter for 2 1/2 years taking care of the dogs. I have been around most breeds and personality types. I am calm and patient around dogs and know how to read their body language. But I also love to be goofy and playful with them when the environment is right. I believe every dog is an individual and what might work for one dog won’t always work for another. I have some dog training under my belt from working with other trainers and taking classes but I’m not certified yet. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out! I am currently working part time at an animal shelter so I have plenty of time to dedicate to working with your pups! I currently only offer dog walking and stop ins but will eventually start boarding. I currently don’t offer boarding but I will eventually! At a client’s home I’ll make to gather all the details from the owner to ensure an easy transition for both them and their animals. The last thing I want is an owner to worry while they’re away! I’ll treat your animals like they’re my own.
About: I’ve been certified as a Vet Assistant, I am also currently in school for my license as a Vet Technician. I’m very confident that I will be a safe environment for your furry friends! I’m currently a student so weekends will be more manageable for me, In case of any emergencies of course I can make accommodations during weekdays. I’ve had more than 11 animals my whole life growing up (5 dogs) (4 cats) (2 two fish) I would say I’m extremely experienced in caring for animals. Professionally my experience would be under a year as I am still in school, I live on 67 acres and a large yard which will give your dog enough room to run with the wind and enjoy the fresh air.

“She is truly amazing. She instantly made me feel at ease leaving our baby. Very communicative, daily updates with photos and videos. She goes above and beyond. Our baby suffers from allergies, and she was great with keeping up medications and updates on symptoms. It was his first birthday not at home with us, and she went out of her way to ensure his day was special and got him special birthday treats. She made him feel comfortable, very loving and truly caring. I can tell she has a big heart, and really has a love for animals, I saw she really cared. It was so nice to see, she eased my mind, especially as I tend to over worry about him, and he was very happy with her as so were we. We would DEFINITELY rebook. I cannot thank her enough for her care, love, attentiveness she had for our baby Guinness.”

“Chester was absolutely fabulous when we had him watch Rocco, our 100lb Catahoula Leopard Dog. My father passed way in a different state so we were trying to find someone to watch Rocco either in our home or theirs so we could attend services. He was a rescue a year ago and didn’t want to put him in a kennel or place where he would think he was being abandoned. After reading that Chester not only boards dogs in his home, but has a large property for long walks and a fenced in area for play, I felt confident contacting him. Chester was able to accommodate our last minute request and had a meet and greet that same day. Rocco met the other dog he was boarding at the time and being Rocco loves other dogs, he was excited to be there which made me feel even better. Having access to other rooms, I one this was the place for him. While away, Chester sent us pictures, videos, and a brief summary every day to let us know how Rocco was doing. We saw Rocco getting walks, playing with the other dogs, getting treats, playing with toys, and just relaxing. That put us at ease knowing Chester treated him like his own. I would definitely recommend Chester and we will definitely have Rocco there again one day.”
“I highly recommend Alexis! She kept us updated with photos and reassured us the dogs were doing well. The dogs got plenty of exercise each day with her dogs. There is plenty of space for the dogs to run around in her fenced in yard. I would board my dogs with Alexis in the future!!”
“Jake and Mischa were our last-minute life savers! When our plans fell through for our dog sitters for our wedding, they stepped in! What an AMAZING pair they are. They daily pictures throughout the day of River and Maverick and made sure we were at ease. They were in amazing hands! Even better—they offered a drop off and pick up service. Id rate them One million stars if I could! Repeat customers for sure!”
“Francesca and John were wonderful! Buddy did very well during his stay. This was his first time ever boarding and I was nervous about how he would do since he is an older dog. They kept me updated all the time and assured me he was relaxed and not anxious. So glad we found them!”

“I left my pup in Sheila's care for almost a week. It was the first time that I left my dog that I had peace of mind. Sheila was so great about keeping me updated, sending me videos and pictures. Dixie had such a great time there, so much fun playing with all the other dogs. I'm sure she can't wait to go back and I can't wait for our next trip!”
