“Rachel and Henrik (and their two wonderful kids!) watched our two Goldendoodles for the weekend, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. From the start, it was clear this was a perfect fit—we did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and instantly felt comfortable. Their home is beautiful, clean, and has a great backyard where our dogs had plenty of space to run and play. More importantly, our dogs were treated like part of the family—they got tons of attention, snuggles, and care all weekend. We also really appreciated the frequent updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. When we dropped them off, our dogs were so excited they ran right in without hesitation—that says everything. You can truly tell how much Rachel and Henrik love dogs and care for them as their own. One of the nicest families we’ve met, and we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were so well cared for. We will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional dog care.”
“Kerri was great! She was able to accommodate a last minute booking for my dog Remy which I was very thankful for. My girl is extremely nervous and Kerri was great with giving her space to get comfortable. Remy loved playing with her dogs as well! She sent lots of pictures and kept me informed on how my pup was doing throughout the entire stay. Would definitely recommend!”
“Jen was great with our dog. She sent tons of pictures and updates. My dog came back healthy and happy. We will for sure use her again for sitting. Thank you Jen for taking such good care of Winston.”
“John was great! He kept me updated on how Darby was doing & sent pictures each day! I felt completely comfortable leaving g our boy with him & I look forward to another visit!! ❤️”
About: Dogs have surrounded me since childhood, and many of them were rescues, giving me experience with a wide variety of breeds, personalities, and needs. Caring for dogs has always been a passion of mine, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. You can have complete peace of mind knowing your beloved furry family member will be safe, loved, and exceptionally well cared for, so you can travel or enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved four-legged family member is safe, happy, loved, and receiving the same level of care I would give my own pets. I live and work from my private home. Your pup will find I have plenty of time and room to take care of them. Your VIP dog will receive loving care and boarding. Rest assuredly when you’re in need of doggie care! I have a home with a private fenced in yard and have two friendly pups of my own and a large separate area for your pets if required. Since I work from home they will not be alone, which is very nice to know.
“well, like all of us, we love our dogs. I am so fortunate to find Vanessa. I felt she treated my pup like it was her own. Every time I saw a video it made me smile. When I came to pick her up, I didn't think she was going to want to come home. I felt like she was at a wonderful sleep weekend camp”
About: I was raised with dogs from the time I was born, and our home was always full of animals — be it bunnies, turtles, hamsters or parrots! I’m now a proud pet mom to two cats, Tortellini and Simone, and one pup, Frankie. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and attentive to care for your pets while you’re away. My pup, Frankie, is always happy to make new furry friends, and I love making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet needs feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, medication reminders, or just extra love and companionship, I’ll treat them like part of my own family. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I’m a researcher who works from home, so my schedule is flexible throughout the week. I’m available for weekday care, weekends, drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays. Since I spend a lot of time at home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and consistency. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently offer care in my client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I’m very respectful of each home and each pet’s routine, and I’m happy to follow detailed instructions for feeding, walks, litter box care, playtime, medications, and any special needs. I’m also comfortable managing different household setups, including keeping pets separated when needed, handling multi-pet homes, monitoring doors/gates carefully, and making sure each pet feels safe, calm, and cared for.
About: I have 2.5 years of experience working as a veterinarian assistant for a family-owned and operated animal hospital. Aspects of my job include restraining, handling, medicating, feeding, grooming, bathing, and caring for any pets who may board with us at the hospital. I have comfortably handled dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, needs, and temperaments, and I am confident in my ability to care for dogs of all life stages. My schedule is extremely flexible and I am never away from home for more than four hours any day of the week, which means plenty of time for potty breaks, playtime, and feedings. I have a fully enclosed, insulated, temperature controlled, spacious gazebo on my property surrounded by a pet-proof fenced-in playpen. The inside is divided into four sections, so I can board up to four dogs no bigger than 40lbs at one time, and each pet will have his or her own space indoors for eating and sleeping. Outside, the pets will be able to interact and play, and they will always be supervised.
“Great experience with Kristen! My pup really liked her and her home. My dog is often anxious but she was very relaxed and happy when I came to pick her up after the stay! I really liked Kristen too—very nice person. Highly recommend!!”
“We couldn't be happier with having our dog, Chance, stay with Gabby. She sent me daily updates of how he was doing and was really understanding and accommodating to his needs and his anxiety/timidness during the first few days of his stay. I could tell by the pictures that he defintiely enjoyed his time there. We would love to keep using Gabby for any future trips we go on. We are more than pleased with her!”
“I’d give 100 stars if I could. I’d never used Rover.com before and we were in a last minute bind with our new puppy, scheduled to go on vacation, when our sitter fell through. Samantha is exactly who you want to care for your pet. She’s so knowledgeable, loving, and kind with a true passion for caring for animals. She was so great with communication, sending us updates, pics, and videos and following our pup’s routine. I’m so at ease to know we now have someone like Samantha in our life to help us with our guy! She was truly heaven sent. Highly recommend. Thank you Sam!”
“Kathy was an amazing pet sitter. My dog stayed for three nights and had the best time playing with her sweet dog Ollie. Kathy was incredibly attentive and kind. My dog had hurt her leg prior to going over there and she even took the time to gently massage her leg ( after checking with me) It really meant a lot knowing my dog was so cared for uncomfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kathy again and highly recommend her!”
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful with my Roman. I was able to feel relaxed and confident that my pup was getting the right care he needed. She sent me photos everyday of him and kept me updated on how he was doing. I will definitely be rebooking again and will be sure to recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Catherine was amazing! Her and her husband were very sweet and knowledgeable! They took the time to do a proper meet and greet which helped my dog get to know them and made my experience so comforting to know exactly where my dog would be as well as get to know who my dog would be staying with. They sent updates throughout the entire time. My dog was so happy, well cared for, and felt at home. Highly recommended booking Catherine!”
“Marla is so sweet and was such a great host for our fur babies! She was super easy to communicate with and even sent us video updates while we were away! Will definitely book again when I need a sitter!”
“We had Jennifer watch our older GSD Dolly for the first time this week. Jennifer and her husband took very good care of our girl, were very attentive to her needs. She sent pictures of a happy, smiling dog to us, which we appreciated. Looking forward to using Jennifer for a much longer stay in the near future. They are definitely dog people.”
About: In this past year I’ve been caring for a friends 3 legged dog. She needs extra loving, patience and care that I’m fully able to provide to her and others. My weekends are always open. I’m able to accept last minute requests as well. I’ll work around your schedule. Please reach out to me with any questions! I don’t have any pets, so I’m able to give yours my full attention. I do have a teenager that might come along for a walk, just a heads up.

About: I love cats (but cannot have one due to spouse's allergies)! For the last 5 years, friends have trusted me to watch their cats, feed them and play with them. I've even taken care of a blind cat. As with dogs, I know all cats are different, and I follow all rules provided to me.
“Gianna has sitted for my babies multiple times. I trust her completely. She’s gone out of her way to help me with the dogs and things at my home while I was away. So glad I found her!”

“Jennifer is amazing!! It’s my first time using Rover for my puppy and she put all my nerves at ease. She sent daily pictures and updates which I really appreciated. Noodle can’t wait to go back! Thank you again Jennifer!”
“From the moment we dropped Nessa off until the time we picked her up, we were pleasantly surprised by how completely at home she felt with Marla. Normally, Nessa is very apprehensive when meeting new people, new animals, or even visiting a new place. But from the moment Marla opened the door, our normally shy and hesitant little girl ran right into the house to greet Marla and all of her pets. To say my husband and I were shocked would be an understatement! Watching Nessa happily run off to play filled this mom and dad with so much joy. While we were attending our niece’s wedding, we kept checking our phones, fully expecting a call or text saying Nessa was crying or looking for us. That message never came—because she was apparently having the time of her life! When we returned to pick her up, Nessa was excited to show us all of her new friends. It was obvious she had been well cared for and truly enjoyed her stay. We could tell that Marla treated Nessa as if she were one of her own, and there is no greater compliment we could give. We only wish Marla lived in Connecticut instead of New York. Finding someone who genuinely loves and cares for your pet as though they were part of their own family is incredibly rare, and we would trust her with Nessa again in a heartbeat.”
“We used rover for the first time and Donna made us feel quite at ease. She explained everything to us and we knew that our dog was in good hands. Will definitely use her again.”
“John was wonderful with Bo….he was falling asleep on the way home from all the fun and exercise he had !!! We will definitely use John to take care of our energetic Bo !!! It takes a lot to wear him out ! Thank you for a great afternoon..”

“Sarah was amazing with my Dexter! He has anxiety from a dog attack and is skittish - she handled him beautifully and he had an absolute blast! She took great care with grouping dogs together to make sure they played appropriately and also ensured he had downtime to relax. I will absolutely use Sarah again for daycare and walks!”
“Jeanmarie did an amazing job taking care of my very needy husky Skye for the day. She kept me updated with plenty of great photos, responded quickly to all my messages, took Skye on multiple walks, and made sure she was well-fed and given lots of attention. Skye came home happily exhausted! Holly was also incredibly sweet and welcoming, and the rest of her family clearly showed Skye so much love while she was there. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with them and would absolutely book again. Highly recommend!”
“Great communication, clean and safe environment, and most importantly, Cody had a good time 🙂. Thank you so much for taking such a good care of my furbaby.”
“Theresa was a great dog sitter very attentive and caring. She sent updates, which I really appreciated, and my pup was clearly happy and well taken care of.She didn’t even want to leave when I picked her up! I would definitely use her again.”
“Alana and family were great hosts for our little Xena. They treated her like family and took care of her without any issue. They have an adorable doggy area, went on walks and cuddled a bunch! Xena was very happy :) thank you and can’t wait for our next stay!”
“Amber was amazing—truly a lifesaver for a last-minute daycare! She took great care of Miller and kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I 100% recommend her, and Miller can’t wait to go back for more fun!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs. I currently own four dogs: two adult Belgian Malinois, a German Shepherd puppy, and a senior Shih Tzu mix. I have crate trained and potty trained multiple puppies and am familiar with the time, patience, and consistency required for successful training. Through caring for both high-energy working breeds and senior dogs, I have experience managing different exercise needs, routines, temperaments, and levels of care. I am committed to providing a safe, structured, and positive environment for every dog in my care. I am home most of the time and provide full-time care for the dogs in my home. Because I am available throughout the day, dogs receive regular supervision. I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely go outside for potty breaks and exercise. I am comfortable reinforcing crate training when needed and believe crates are a valuable tool for safety and routine. My own dogs are crate trained and are crated when they cannot be directly supervised to ensure their safety and prevent unwanted behaviors. I provide a structured, safe, and supervised environment while making sure each dog receives plenty of attention, care, and opportunities to play and relax.
About: What sets me apart is my professional experience as a dog trainer specializing in behavior modification and working with challenging dogs, including reactive, fearful, and aggressive cases. I understand canine body language, behavior, and communication, allowing me to safely manage situations that many sitters may not be comfortable handling. I provide a structured, calm environment with clear boundaries, enrichment, and individualized care tailored to each dog’s needs. Whether caring for puppies, adult dogs, or seniors, my focus is on building confidence, reinforcing good behavior, and ensuring every dog feels safe, secure, and understood while in my care. Pet care is my full-time career. As a professional dog trainer and pet sitter, caring for dogs is a daily part of my routine. I work closely with both pets and their owners to provide training, exercise, structure, and companionship. My goal is to help create happier, well-balanced dogs while making life easier and more enjoyable for their families. I prioritize safety, structure, and trust in every interaction. I follow each pet’s routine, provide appropriate exercise and enrichment, maintain a secure environment, and communicate regularly with owners. As a professional dog trainer and sitter, I focus on creating a positive experience that keeps pets happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: Animals are here to heal our souls therefore I want to do the same for them and give them the best attention and fun time! I am currently home all day and would love some furry company. I can coordinate my time to fit your pets needs and wants. I am determined to provide whatever care needed for our furry friends. I try to listen and understand them watch them and play with them at all times. They have all my attention the whole time they’re with me.
About: I am a professional dog walker and pet sitter with over twenty years of hands on experience caring for animals. I recently moved to Suffolk County, New York from the Upper West Side of Manhattan after closing my small business in the city. Long Island has been an amazing change for us and we truly love being here. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and have shaped my career for more than two decades. Now that I work from home, I find myself really missing the daily connection with pets. I am certified in pet grooming and have experience in animal behavior as well as light training. I love teaching dogs fun tricks like giving kisses and building trust with them through patience and consistency. I also have experience working as a veterinary technician and receptionist, which has given me a strong understanding of animal health and communication with pet owners. I still maintain several wonderful clients from my time in Manhattan and I am excited to grow my services here in Suffolk County and meet new dogs and their families. About This Sitter Animals have always been my passion for as long as I can remember. I never imagined how far this path would take me, but I truly cannot picture myself doing anything else. Caring for pets feels natural and rewarding to me, and I am grateful every day to be part of their lives. Why I Love Dog Sitting I have loved dogs since the first time I was able to have one of my own. The more I learn about different breeds and personalities, the more my appreciation grows. Every dog has its own temperament and charm, and getting to know them is one of my favorite parts of this work. Meet My Pets In loving memory of Miah. Jenna is currently my active little companion. They are two beautiful Chihuahuas who have filled my life with joy and laughter. About My Home We live in a small four bedroom house in Coram with a backyard that offers space for fresh air and outdoor time. My Experience Administering Medication Yes. I am comfortable giving oral medications only. Pet care fits into my routine very naturally because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available most weekdays and weekends, especially afternoons and evenings. Since I am home often, I can provide consistent attention, walks, feeding schedules, and check ins without rushing. I live in a small four bedroom home in Coram with a backyard where dogs can safely get fresh air and supervised outdoor time. Inside the home, pets are never left unattended for long periods and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I have over twenty years of experience working with animals, including veterinary office experience, so I am very observant of behavior changes and health concerns. I also have one senior toothless small house dog who is gentle and used to other pets, but I always introduce animals slowly and respectfully based on their comfort level.
About: Hi! I'm a reliable and caring dog lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all ages. I have two golden doodles and they are my four legged kids. They are always happy to make new furry friends. I was raised with dogs and other animals and they were always part of the family. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or relaxing with company, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and give them lots of love while you're away. I will treat your fur baby like my own. I understand that every dog has their own routine, and I'm happy to follow your instructions for feeding, medication, exercise, and bedtime to help them feel at home. I'm responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I'm committed to providing dependable care, keeping you updated with photos, and making sure your dog feels loved and comfortable while you're away. I am currently at home. I can provide walks, playtime, feedings and lots of love. I have flexible weekday availability, also available on weekends and holidays. I have a fenced yard and two friendly fur babies to keep your pup happy. Your pet is welcomed to have access to our whole home and lounge wherever they are comfortable.
“Marcia took amazing care of our Golden Retriever Kennedy! Highly recommend and would love for her to watch Kennedy again. Kennedy had so much fun playing in their lovely yard and came home happy and tired!”
About: I've always had a special connection with dogs. Ever since primary school, I volunteered to walk all my neighbors' dogs and would stay to play with them for hours—tug-of-war and frisbee were our favorites. I've walked dogs of all sizes, sometimes up to three at a time. Getting my own puppy was the best thing in the world for me, and I naturally have endless patience for animals. Throughout college, I walked and sat for my piano professor's dog for years—around the neighborhood, and I also drove him to dog parks and beaches. On top of that, I've volunteered at an animal shelter, cleaning dog and cat rooms and socializing with the animals. I currently can't have a dog of my own because I fly in and out for work. That's why I'm doing this part-time — it's never an assembly line for me. Each dog gets my full, individual attention, and I truly make friends with every one of them. I'm a sound designer and composer working on contract-based stage productions, which gives me a flexible schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine — I walk dogs at least three times a day, feed them as many times as requested, and make sure they get plenty of playtime outside of my work hours. Since I'm not working a rigid 9-to-5, I can easily adjust my day around each dog's needs, whether that means extra cuddles, a longer walk, or a spontaneous trip to the dog park. Plus, because I fly in and out for work and can't have my own dog right now, caring for other people's dogs is something I genuinely look forward to and prioritize every single day. I live in a first-floor condo apartment in a neighborhood with lots of green areas — perfect for dogs who love quick potty breaks and longer sniffing walks. I let dogs free roam throughout my home and they're absolutely allowed on furniture. I treat every dog as if they were my own, which means lots of freedom, comfort, and attention. Since I do this part-time, I never have more than two unfamiliar dogs at once, so each dog gets a calm, focused environment. I'm extremely respectful of their space and routines — I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions to the letter, and I always leave things cleaner than I found them.
“This was our first time leaving Coco with starngers so we were little nervous. But Melissa kept us posted through pics and seemed Coco had so much fun with other dogs and Melissa. He made lits of new friends. I would definitely book Melissa again for coco. Thanks again Melissa for taking care of coco.”
“Daniel was amazing, and it was so clear our dogs were in great hands. They came home happily exhausted, which tells me they had the best time at daycare. We truly appreciate the great care. ❤️”

About: I’ve always possessed a deep love for animals and have grown up around pets my entire life. I have several years of hands-on experience working at a grooming salon, where I assisted with bathing, feeding, and caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I’ve also volunteered at local animal shelters, which helped me better understand dog behavior, body language, and each pet’s unique emotional needs. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I would be honored to care for your furry family member like they’re my own! 🐾 I recently graduated and am taking a gap year, pursuing additional courses as an aspiring physician assistant and working part-time in healthcare.

I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Emma has been brilliant with communication, flexibility with times and days for walking my dog, she has been a dream dog walker from start to finish. I would highly recommend her services as she really did give my dog the best afternoon out and the photos she took looked like he had a brilliant time! Thank you Emma.”
“Nicole was amazing. Harper can be shy with new people but took an instant liking to Nicole. She was extremely prompt and reliable and was very conscientious with submitting notes after each walk. I highly recommend and would hire her again to take care of our pups.”
“Jordan has been so incredibly helpful for our family! We feel great knowing that our Maverick is getting exercise while we are at work and Maverick LOVES Jordan! Jordan currently walks our pup 2x/week for us. Highly recommend Jordan!”
“Pluto and myself had a great experience with Magdalena. She picked up my pup and took him for a walk with her dog Frankie. I was a bit anxious as Pluto is sometimes afraid of dogs larger than him but Frankie is such a lovely pup — they got along very well. I also saw them running around and playing in Magdalena’s backyard when I picked up Pluto. Overall — great experience and will be using Magdalena’s services in the future.”

“Yeji is great! She's reliable, flexible, and communicative. My dog took a liking to her immediately. He's not the easiest dog to walk, and she picked up on how to handle him quickly. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been around dogs for most of my life. I have also volunteered at one of the largest assistance dog organizations for more than 13 years. I typically handle between 20-30 dogs of multiple breeds every week. My responsibilities include socialization, light grooming, and free run with playtime. I'm currently training in transportation and first aid I will provide a safe, fun, and playful environment for you Cherished Canine. My horrendous personal experience with pet sitting has alerted me to the pitfalls of in-home pet care.
About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life and have over 15 years of personal experience owning and caring for pets. As a lifelong cat owner who has raised four cats, I know exactly what it takes to keep felines happy, healthy, and comfortable. In addition to my own pets, I have years of experience pet-sitting for neighbors, handling everything from daily walks and feeding schedules to playtime and basic cleanup for dogs of various breeds and sizes. I treat every animal with the same level of love and responsibility as my own. My schedule allows me plenty of flexibility to dedicate high-quality time to your pets. I am available for weekend boarding and house sitting, and my weekdays are wide open for afternoon and evening visits, walks, or check-ins. Because I can manage my time effectively, your pet will never have to wait long for a bathroom break, a fresh meal, or some energetic playtime. Safety is my absolute highest priority when watching a pet. I maintain a highly organized, safe, and clean living space where animals can relax without stress. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow all security protocols, ensure doors and gates are fully secured, and strictly adhere to your specific rules regarding crating, feeding, and leash safety during walks. You can expect regular photo updates so you always know your fur baby is safe and thriving.
About: Hi! I'm Bri ☺️ I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I've lived with animals since before I could talk, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely enjoy. Over the years I've had the opportunity to care for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I love getting to know what makes each of them unique. 🐶🐰 I'm currently offering walking and drop in visits. I know every fur baby is different. Some want to play the entire visit, while others are happiest taking a slow, sniffy walk or getting belly rubs on the couch. I'm happy to meet them where they're comfortable and give them the kind of care that helps them feel relaxed and happy. 🐾 As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your fur baby. I treat each and every one as if they were my own and always make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and patience. I'll also send lots of photos and updates during every visit so you can relax knowing your baby is happy and in good hands. 📸 I'm comfortable caring for baby, adult, and senior pets and I can administer oral medications if needed. My goal is to make every visit a positive experience for both you and your fur baby. I can't wait to meet you guys! 🩷 I work from home, which gives me some flexibility throughout the week. My availability can vary depending on my work schedule, so let me know what you're looking for and I'll do my best to make it work! 😊 Your baby's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I'll follow your care instructions closely, whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medication, playing with a specific toy, or reinforcing your training routines. I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own and make sure your fur baby gets plenty of love, attention, and care while you're away. 🩷
About: All my life I have taken care of animals big and small. Special care or simple care they will be loved and safe with me. I work a hybrid job, from home Monday and Friday office tues-Thurs. all fur babies baby will love the attention and affection they will get. In my home they will have a safe room to sleep or stay in if they want quiet or they can mingle around the house. In your home I would follow your instructions as to where they are allowed to be. At my home our yard is only fenced on 3 sides while it is a large space they would be on a lead at all times.
About: Your dog will become part of our family while staying in our home. Playing in our large fenced yard, snuggles on the sofa, trips to the beach or local Avalon Park trails for long walks! When your dog comes to my house, he/she will become part of our family during their stay. I will follow your instructions, schedule, and routine for your dog while they are with us. Your dog will receive lots of exercise, attention and love. My husband and I are both home full time so your dog will never be alone for more than a couple hours. I have a huge fenced yard for playing. We are located in the beautiful Historic Village of Stony Brook and love walking the dogs to the beach and also Avalon Park trails. We do have an indoor/outdoor cat so your dog must be able to coexist with the cat but they can easily be kept separate. I have many excellent references to share with you, including clients from the Guide Dog Foundation and rescue organizations that I have fostered for. You can set up a free meet and greet at my house. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I am home full time so your pup will have constant attention! Your pup will have lots of exercise, play time and of course lots of snuggles. I have a fenced yard and supervise your pup at all times. I have plenty of time to play with and care for your pup! If I am not home, my husband or one of my teenage sons will be home so your dog will rarely be left alone. I have a large fenced yard for playing and we will walk in our beautiful neighborhood if that’s part of your dog’s routine. Your dog will be supervised at all times and will have lots of attention!
About: Hi! I’m Mia, and I’m a 23 year old new mom with a huge love for animals. I’ve been dog sitting for about 3-4 years and I truly enjoy being able to do something I love while bringing my son along with me! Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. As a new mom I spend most of my time at home or doing activities that are pet friendly, which allow me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day I currently have two dogs, a cat, and a bunny at home, so you can trust that your pets will be in great hands with me. I truly love dogs and can’t wait to spend time with yours!

“Rachel and Henrik (and their two wonderful kids!) watched our two Goldendoodles for the weekend, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. From the start, it was clear this was a perfect fit—we did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and instantly felt comfortable. Their home is beautiful, clean, and has a great backyard where our dogs had plenty of space to run and play. More importantly, our dogs were treated like part of the family—they got tons of attention, snuggles, and care all weekend. We also really appreciated the frequent updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. When we dropped them off, our dogs were so excited they ran right in without hesitation—that says everything. You can truly tell how much Rachel and Henrik love dogs and care for them as their own. One of the nicest families we’ve met, and we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were so well cared for. We will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional dog care.”
“Kerri was great! She was able to accommodate a last minute booking for my dog Remy which I was very thankful for. My girl is extremely nervous and Kerri was great with giving her space to get comfortable. Remy loved playing with her dogs as well! She sent lots of pictures and kept me informed on how my pup was doing throughout the entire stay. Would definitely recommend!”
“Jen was great with our dog. She sent tons of pictures and updates. My dog came back healthy and happy. We will for sure use her again for sitting. Thank you Jen for taking such good care of Winston.”
“John was great! He kept me updated on how Darby was doing & sent pictures each day! I felt completely comfortable leaving g our boy with him & I look forward to another visit!! ❤️”
About: Dogs have surrounded me since childhood, and many of them were rescues, giving me experience with a wide variety of breeds, personalities, and needs. Caring for dogs has always been a passion of mine, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. You can have complete peace of mind knowing your beloved furry family member will be safe, loved, and exceptionally well cared for, so you can travel or enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved four-legged family member is safe, happy, loved, and receiving the same level of care I would give my own pets. I live and work from my private home. Your pup will find I have plenty of time and room to take care of them. Your VIP dog will receive loving care and boarding. Rest assuredly when you’re in need of doggie care! I have a home with a private fenced in yard and have two friendly pups of my own and a large separate area for your pets if required. Since I work from home they will not be alone, which is very nice to know.
“well, like all of us, we love our dogs. I am so fortunate to find Vanessa. I felt she treated my pup like it was her own. Every time I saw a video it made me smile. When I came to pick her up, I didn't think she was going to want to come home. I felt like she was at a wonderful sleep weekend camp”
About: I was raised with dogs from the time I was born, and our home was always full of animals — be it bunnies, turtles, hamsters or parrots! I’m now a proud pet mom to two cats, Tortellini and Simone, and one pup, Frankie. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and attentive to care for your pets while you’re away. My pup, Frankie, is always happy to make new furry friends, and I love making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet needs feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, medication reminders, or just extra love and companionship, I’ll treat them like part of my own family. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I’m a researcher who works from home, so my schedule is flexible throughout the week. I’m available for weekday care, weekends, drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays. Since I spend a lot of time at home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and consistency. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently offer care in my client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I’m very respectful of each home and each pet’s routine, and I’m happy to follow detailed instructions for feeding, walks, litter box care, playtime, medications, and any special needs. I’m also comfortable managing different household setups, including keeping pets separated when needed, handling multi-pet homes, monitoring doors/gates carefully, and making sure each pet feels safe, calm, and cared for.
“Great experience with Kristen! My pup really liked her and her home. My dog is often anxious but she was very relaxed and happy when I came to pick her up after the stay! I really liked Kristen too—very nice person. Highly recommend!!”
“I’d give 100 stars if I could. I’d never used Rover.com before and we were in a last minute bind with our new puppy, scheduled to go on vacation, when our sitter fell through. Samantha is exactly who you want to care for your pet. She’s so knowledgeable, loving, and kind with a true passion for caring for animals. She was so great with communication, sending us updates, pics, and videos and following our pup’s routine. I’m so at ease to know we now have someone like Samantha in our life to help us with our guy! She was truly heaven sent. Highly recommend. Thank you Sam!”
“Kathy was an amazing pet sitter. My dog stayed for three nights and had the best time playing with her sweet dog Ollie. Kathy was incredibly attentive and kind. My dog had hurt her leg prior to going over there and she even took the time to gently massage her leg ( after checking with me) It really meant a lot knowing my dog was so cared for uncomfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kathy again and highly recommend her!”
“Marla is so sweet and was such a great host for our fur babies! She was super easy to communicate with and even sent us video updates while we were away! Will definitely book again when I need a sitter!”
“We had Jennifer watch our older GSD Dolly for the first time this week. Jennifer and her husband took very good care of our girl, were very attentive to her needs. She sent pictures of a happy, smiling dog to us, which we appreciated. Looking forward to using Jennifer for a much longer stay in the near future. They are definitely dog people.”
“I was very impressed with Jinay's responsiveness and attentiveness. She understood that I didn't want to constantly ask for updates about my baby because I was on vacation but wanted the peace of mind that she was ok, so she reassured me every day with voluntary quick message updates and even pictures. My sweet girl has a disability, and Jinay gave me peace of mind during our separation. Jinay was so sweet and caring, even hand-feeding my girl when she struggled to eat. She truly went above and beyond to ensure my baby was well taken care of. I am incredibly grateful for her exceptional care.”
“What a lovely family. They took such wonderful care of my Blossom. Diana sent me photos throughout Blossom’s stay that left me feeling like I made a good decision leaving her with them. Thank you so much. I know who to call for my next vacation.”
“Trisha was great, she kept us in the loop with pictures and texts the whole evening. It was the first time we left our dog Jax who’s 1-1/2 old boxer with tons of energy. Thank you Trisha and we will definitely leave Jax with again and again.”
“Alejandro & his fiancée were wonderful with my Cody. They gave him plenty of attention & love. I could tell he was very happy staying with them & enjoyed playing with their dog. Sent plenty of pictures & videos. Will definitely be using them again!”
“Our dog Blanche had a great stay with Theresa and her family! We were given at least two updates a day with pictures. We will definitely book again for a future stay.”
“We were definitely happy with our dog’s stay with Veronique and her family. We got lots of pictures and videos while we were away, and she was very responsive if we had any questions.”
