“The best dog sitter I have met. Daisy was so happy with them. They were so attentive to her and always sending me pictures of all the fun and activities they had with daisy. I will gladly have her as my dog sitter for daisy whenever I need and would definitely recommend to anybody who needs a dog sitter. Thank you so much Veronique you are the best. ☺️😬”
“Amber took a last minute booking for my elderly 15 yo beagle this past weekend. My dog is not the easiest with dementia, urinary incontinence, hard of hearing and paces a lot. Despite all of those things, Amber took my dog in and cared for her with ease and so mooch compassion and patience. I am so grateful for the care and would definitely recommend her and use her again in the future!”
“Sandy was great with Ella! She sent us a few pictures during the stay, which was so nice to see, and she has a beautiful backyard that Ella loved playing in. Everything went smoothly and we’d happily book again.”
“Sherlock's enjoyed his stay! Glad he got along well with Oakley and Archer right off the bat. Kerri was so kind and was awesome with providing with pictures and updates every day.”
“Freedom was a huge help when we had to book at the last minute due to a family emergency. They were very nice to Cleo and accommodated her food needs and energy level. They also made a very cute portrait of Cleo and gifted her a bandana, which she is still wearing and loving. I highly recommend Freedom to others looking for a sitter.”
“Jillian is excellent, caring, thoughtful, and understanding!! Our pets truly loved being part of her family, and came home just as they left, and in good spirits!! We're very grateful to have found someone like Jillian for our furbabies!!”
“Gerald watched our dog in his home for 10 days, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Our dog can get anxious when he's away from home, but he was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for throughout his stay. Gerald took him on walks in the nearby park and provided excellent care. He was also a fantastic communicator, sending regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Gerald to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“We left our family Dog, Luna, with Alex for 9 nights and he did a great job! Alex sent a short video and photo every morning to keep us assured that Luna was having a great time and was doing well! I would highly recommend Alex and wouldn't hesitate to use him again!”
“Brenda was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease. She constantly kept me updated with messages, pictures, and videos, which meant so much and really helped me relax while I was away. It was so clear that my dog was being well cared for. Brenda was always taking her on walks and spending time playing with her. When I picked her up, of course my baby missed me, but I could truly tell she had formed such a loving bond with Brenda. It was obvious that my dog adored her, and that Brenda genuinely loved her right back. Finding someone you trust with your dog isn’t easy, but Brenda exceeded every expectation. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and loving sitter!”
“Once again picked up Ollie healthy and happy. Very grateful that Denise is reliable and available! Ollie was recovering from some dental work and Denise was able to accommodate some more challenging feeding and medicine needs. Thank you!!”
“Delmy and her family took wonderful care of my 2 dogs. They were walked every day, played with, and came home clean and happy. We could not be happier with their stay.”
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.
“Jennifer was great watching our Max! I'm always nervous about leaving him somewhere new but he settled in pretty quickly with her family. She sent over 100 pictures while we were away for 6 days which I truly appreciated! I will be recommending her to anyone and everyone I meet.”
“This is our third time using Gabby! Our dog Chance is a shy and nervous dog but he warms up to gabby and being with her so quickly! She sends us daily pictures and he always looks so happy with her! We will continue to use Gabby’s services whenever we go away. Thank you again!”
“Wonderful first experience! Very easy and professional process. Loved the texts/videos as peace of mind knowing Leia was doing well. She warmed up to them, and had a great time. Would definitely recommend Dan and Denise, and will be using them again next time I need a dog sitter.”
“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”

“Steff was a wonderful cat sitter!! She and Maddy got along super well, and she was always super thorough and communicative throughout the time I was away. She even made sure Maddy was taken care of when the lock on my door broke!”
“Sandy was amazing! We had never used Rover before and had a great first experience. She met with us (and our cat) beforehand to discuss our needs. She gave us daily updates and was very responsive. Our cat had a great time with her! Can’t recommend enough.”
“Amber was absolutely amazing with both of my cats while I was out of the country for a wedding. She went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for and loved. She kept me updated with pictures and had great communication the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind being away. I could tell my cats were happy and comfortable in her care. I’ll definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Ericka was wonderful! Our cat got sick during the visit and she kept us updated with such care and concern, even offering to take him to the vet if needed. We appreciate her and will request her again!”
“Jamey visited my newly adopted senior cat three times a day for three days. She fed her, gave her medications, cleaned her litter box and kept her company. It’s so comforting to know that I can enjoy my little vacations while my cat is well cared for back at home.”
About: I shared my life with a black cat named Velvet for 19 wonderful years. She was a constant companion and taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and understanding an animal’s unique personality and needs. Caring for Velvet through every stage of her life—from playful early years to her senior chapter—gave me firsthand experience with long-term pet care, aging pets, and the deep bond that grows with consistent love and commitment.
“I could not be happier with how Marianna took care of my cat. Kunkcles was well taken care of while I was away. Marianna did everything I asked. I will definitely return to her in the future if she is available.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 5 years old. That includes dogs, cats, lizards, snakes. I love them all.

“Kaileigh is the BEST pet sitter! She took good care of Miaui and handled unexpected situations with grace and kindness! I highly recommend her and hooe to be able to use her again. Thank you, Kaileigh, from me and Miaui! ❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old and I love taking them for walks and playing with them I will walk them when ever I get a chance. I work part time so I have plenty of time to come over and help take care for your animals when ever you need help. I have a fenced heard I will make sure they are safe and played with and watched no matter what when they are in the back .
“We needed a dog sitter for our two golden retrievers while our daughter was getting married. We chose Jess. Jess listened to all our requirements and assured us that Gracie and Remy would be cared for, played with and would be exhausted that day. She was right. We loved the pictures she sent us of them having a good time. In fact, although I came home early from the wedding, Jess pulled in right after me and the dogs went to her. We will definitely use Jess next time.”
“Great as usual but went above and beyond in particular this time. I really appreciated her cleaning up after the kitties who had a little accident. I can easily say that I trust her with my two cat kids!”
“Hannah was fantastic! She came three times a day, was always reliable and trustworthy, and showed up even in bad weather. We have a large dog (over 100 lbs) and felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. We’ve used Hannah multiple times and never worry when we’re away. Highly recommend!”
About: For 15 years, I have loved and cared for my animals. I was lucky enough to receive excellent training for my shepherd/husky and incorporate the methods during interactions with other animals as well as my new puppy. I completely understand needing reliable care when away. Patience, exercise and attention work wonders!! I'm currently working remote on Thursdays and am able to fit walks in throughout the day as well as during weekends. A varied schedule is fine!! Ensuring the animal's environment is the same when I leave as when I arrive is necessary to prevent injury or any accident. My yard is completely fenced in and equipped to play and run!
“Nikki did an awesome time with our pets and we've already booked her for our next trip! They were well cared for and it's easy to tell Nikki is an animal lover. She went above and beyond!”
About: I have had dogs in my family since the day I was born. I am 24 years old, and I am currently raising a two-year-old and a three-year-old black lab. I have a love for animals like no other, and in the last two years, my family has had two puppies, along with our nine-year-old black lab. I am a licensed real estate agent and therefore have a flexible schedule in order to care for your pets during the week and possible weekends. I have a fenced and gated yard at my house. Along with that, I have collars and leashes that can be used for a walk or exercise in general. We also have a two-story house which gives lots of room for exploring and comfort.

“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!”
About: I am a retired elementary school teacher and have taught children for the past 32 years. I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs, and am eager to care for them when they are alone. I am available throughout the day and for planned vacations. I’m retired and am available to go to your home and care for your dog. I don’t have a dog of my own anymore and am eager to play, care and walk your dog. I’m available to feed, walk and play with your dog. I’m happy to go to your home but also have a fenced in yard where your dog can run and play with me.
“This was my fiancé's and I first time traveling since we got our puppy, Nilla, and we were super anxious about it. After checking out other options we decided to give rover a try and found Daniel. From the moment we met Daniel and Denise we felt a lot better, it was immediately clear that they love dogs and they love what they do, and they even gave us traveling advice! Dan is very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs and their behavior, I liked that because I knew that our pup would be in good hands. In order to get Nilla used to the place we decided do one day of doggy day care with them before her 7 day stay there and I am so glad we did, Denise sent me updates throughout the day and it was fun to see how happy Nilla was playing with other dogs, that made me feel 10x better about her 7 day stay there and I knew that she would be happy and most importantly safe. They day we dropped her off she immediately recognized the house, jumped out of the car and ran straight to Daniel, she didn't even look back when I said goodbye to her! During our vacation they sent us daily updates along with pictures and videos putting us at such ease knowing our pup was having fun and in good hands. Thanks to them we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pup! If you're looking for someone who will treat your fur baby as their own then your search ends here! I highly recommend Dan, this is coming from someone who cried when we booked the tickets to Amsterdam at the thought of leaving our pup with someone else.”
About: Hi, I'm Jill! I'm a stay-at-home mom, Marine veteran, and lifelong dog lover. Dogs have been a part of my world for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is second nature to me. I am also a certified dog groomer, so I understand what it takes to keep pups looking and feeling their best. When your dog stays with me, they will be treated like one of my dachshunds who are friendly, playful, and used to having company. My goal is for every dog to feel like they are spending time with family- safe, happy, and loved. I am home most of the day and have a flexible schedule for drop-offs, pick-ups, or day care. Since I am around often, your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision. I have a nice-sized fenced yard that is perfect for running around and playing fetch. There is a dog door for easy access to the yar throughout the day, so pups can stretch their legs whenever they like. Inside, dogs are part of the family- they can nap on comfy beds, lounge with me, and sleep in bed unless you prefer otherwise. My home is calm, cozy, and full of love.
About: I’m a retired professional with a calm, patient nature and a genuine love for animals. My sister has two dogs, one of whom is a super senior with special needs, so I’m very comfortable providing extra attention, patience, and thoughtful care. With a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to one-on-one care, I enjoy creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for dogs and cats. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, medication routines, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own—offering reliable care and true peace of mind to pet parents. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As a retired professional, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around a pet’s needs rather than the other way around. I’m home for most of the day, which means plenty of time for walks, play, feeding, medication schedules, and quiet companionship. I enjoy building consistent routines that help pets feel secure and comfortable, and I’m able to give them my full attention without feeling rushed. This flexibility also allows me to adapt easily to senior pets or those with special needs who may require extra time, patience, or monitoring. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs—whether in my home or in a client’s home. I follow all feeding schedules carefully, provide fresh water, regular walks or playtime, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’m especially attentive to senior and special-needs pets, including administering medications as directed and keeping a calm, consistent environment. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and space, making sure pets feel secure and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I also keep pet parents updated with check-ins and notes so they can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.
“Amber did very good care for our golden retriever Daisy. She updated us with details and pictures about Daisy’s stay. Also Amber replied on any of our requests very promptly. We will be booking more services with her for our dog soon.”
“My dog spent the whole day with Eliana yesterday and we couldn’t have been happier with the car he received. She sent pictures, kept me updated on how he’s doing, and gave him so much love. Will definitely use her again in the future!!”

“Barney had a good day with Jodie and played with her other dogs. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day and was given a goody bag when he left. Would highly recommend Jodie ..”
“So incredibly pleased with Laurie’s services! She watched my 10-month old bulldog, Augie, for the day and he had a blast! I know this because Laurie was kind enough to send me pictures throughout the day of Augie playing with the other dogs she was watching! Laurie is incredibly accommodating and very quick in responding to messages. When I went to her home to pick Augie up in the evening, he was ready to go with a special “doggy” bag of treats! Very sweet gesture! We will definitely be using her services again for doggy day care and also boarding needs! Thank you Laurie and Cliff for all the extra love and attention you gave to Augie!! Sincerely, The Drago Family”
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.
“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.”
“My dog is so comfortable with Cynthia! Although there are big dogs at her house, she has gating throughout the house and yard to ensure that a little dog is always feeling safe!”
“Pamela is a true animal lover which makes me very comfortable leaving my dog with her. She kept us updated all day. Have used Pamela a few times and will definitely be using her again.”
About: I love spending time with dogs, I prioritize going above and beyond to ensure your fur baby feels comfortable and loved while you’re away. I provide frequent updates with photos and videos throughout the day to keep you informed about your pet’s activities and well-being. I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding and/or for just a fun day care at anytime. I maintain a flexible schedule to maintain your pet’s needs. With a fenced in yard, I can provide regular exercise to help your pet stay fit, strong and keep those tails wagging. In my home your pet will have a safe and cozy place to stay.

Here are some fun activities I can do with the dogs I watch: Walking is a great way to provide dogs with exercise and mental stimulation. I Choose different routes and places to walk, such as a local park, beach, or hiking trail. Most dogs love playing fetch. I can take your dog or dogs with your permission to a fenced dog's park and play a game of fetch with a ball or frisbee. Dogs love to play with toys, such as squeaky toys or tug ropes.

About: I love all animals, but I have a special place in my heart for dogs! I grew up with a family dog and have cared for many of my friends’ and family members’ pets over the past 10 years. I’ve also trained my own dog and love learning new tips and techniques to help pets thrive. Whether it’s a quick walk around the block or a long hike on the trails, I truly enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs. I’m also hoping that by dog sitting and walking, I’ll finally convince my husband that it’s time for us to adopt our own pup soon! 🐶❤️ I currently work Tues-Thurs full time in NYC office and available most weekends. My husband and I enjoy filling our free time walking and caring for dogs. He and I both will care for your beloved furry baby like it is our own.

It has allowed me to take care of dogs around my neighborhood, doing things like drop in visits or walks while people have been on vacation!

I am going to be home from college all summer, and am looking to do something along with my other part time jobs!

About: I've had the pleasure of caring for dogs since I was 13. I've had my own dogs, as well as caring for and watching many friends' and neighbors' dogs overnight.

I will try to know as much as possible to provide the best service to you and your pet. I have a lot of personal experience with dogs in my own personal life and would love to share that experience with all :)
About: We’ve been loving dog parents for over 25 years, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of our lives. After losing our beloved boy earlier this year, we’ve found ourselves missing the daily joy, snuggles, and companionship that come with having a pet. We’d love to share that love with your furry family member—giving them all the attention, affection, and care they deserve. Think of us as your pet’s extra set of grandparents: all the love, cuddles, and spoiling, with a calm, caring presence you can trust. I’m currently working but am winding down a 30+ year career as an educator. I’m available weekends and over the summer right now. My husband is semi-retired and is available Tuesdays and Thursdays all day. One or both of us are also available after 3 pm Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. We have a fenced yard and sadly no pets for your baby to play with. We have no children in the house either so your dog will be the only guest and will receive our undivided attention. We will only sit for 1 family at a time to ensure you the highest quality care.
About: Animals have always been part of my life, from dogs and cats to fish and small rodents. I began pet sitting at 14 and have built years of experience providing reliable, attentive care for pets of all kinds. I recently graduated college and my schedule is super flexible so I have a lot of time to myself and I hope to spend some of that time helping people care for their pets ! I take care of pets in clients' homes by following their usual routines for feeding, walks, and playtime. I keep their environment safe and provide toys to keep them entertained. I also keep the space clean and share updates with the client about their pet's behavior. My main goal is to make sure their pets feel happy and comfortable while they're away.
About: I have taken care of a variety of dog breeds and pets for years. I have been entrusted by neighbors, family, and friends to care for their pets' specific needs and wants. No request is too big or small to provide for the joy returned to me whether it's my own fur babies or yours. I have time at the moment to help as many pets as possible. I can try my best to accommodate whatever time you may need. I am unable to host pets in my apartment. So while I miss my own pets back home, I can help some busy owners give some attention and enrichment to their pets.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my family for 10 years and helped my grandmother care for her three litters of puppies. I’m patient, caring, and love being around dogs. Since I enjoy staying active, I’m also a great fit for pets that need plenty of walks and exercise. I currently work part time and in grad school, so I have flexibility to accommodate most schedules to give your dog the care and attention it needs. I can walk your dog, check in on them, or stay overnight in your home, making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

I will gladly have her as my dog sitter for daisy whenever I need and would definitely recommend to anybody who needs a dog sitter. Thank you so much Veronique you are the best. ☺️😬”
“Amber took a last minute booking for my elderly 15 yo beagle this past weekend. My dog is not the easiest with dementia, urinary incontinence, hard of hearing and paces a lot. Despite all of those things, Amber took my dog in and cared for her with ease and so mooch compassion and patience. I am so grateful for the care and would definitely recommend her and use her again in the future!”
“Sherlock's enjoyed his stay! Glad he got along well with Oakley and Archer right off the bat. Kerri was so kind and was awesome with providing with pictures and updates every day.”
“Jillian is excellent, caring, thoughtful, and understanding!! Our pets truly loved being part of her family, and came home just as they left, and in good spirits!! We're very grateful to have found someone like Jillian for our furbabies!!”
“Gerald watched our dog in his home for 10 days, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Our dog can get anxious when he's away from home, but he was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for throughout his stay. Gerald took him on walks in the nearby park and provided excellent care. He was also a fantastic communicator, sending regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Gerald to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“We left our family Dog, Luna, with Alex for 9 nights and he did a great job! Alex sent a short video and photo every morning to keep us assured that Luna was having a great time and was doing well! I would highly recommend Alex and wouldn't hesitate to use him again!”
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.
“Jennifer was great watching our Max! I'm always nervous about leaving him somewhere new but he settled in pretty quickly with her family. She sent over 100 pictures while we were away for 6 days which I truly appreciated! I will be recommending her to anyone and everyone I meet.”
“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”
“Eliana was an amazing sitter , I had to attend an event while passing through New York and looked for a sitter at the last minute needed someone to take two dogs one big and one small . Lulu and sofie loved her and her family , she sent plenty pictures and communi”
About: I have always had dogs growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more.I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals.My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family and friends.I have experience with giving medication to senior dogs. I am responsible and trustworthy and I will go above and beyond for your dog to be comfortable in my care. I currently work full-time during the year. I am available all summer long to give your pet the extra attention he or she needs while you go on vacation or away for the day.I am flexible with my schedule. I enjoy long walks and playtime together! If you decide to board with me, I have a large fenced in backyard with shade to keep them cool. I never leave them alone they are always by my side or being watched in my care. I had a 12 year old Lab/mix senior dog that passed away in 2025 that always received a lot of attention from me and would like to do the same for your pet too.

About: I’ve cared for family dogs my whole life and I’m usually the person family and friends call when they need a reliable pet sitter. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all personalities and also have experience administering medication to my own dog, Milo, so I understand the importance of consistency, routines, and paying close attention to a pet’s needs. With Milo, I handle everything from bathing and daily care to teaching basic tricks and maintaining a structured routine. I truly enjoy building trust with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I give my own. What makes me stand out from other sitters is the amount of time and attention I can dedicate to your pet. Starting in June, I’ll be home full-time during the weekdays and available for drop-ins and house sitting, allowing me to provide flexible scheduling, frequent potty breaks, companionship, and attentive care throughout the day. For walks, I focus on making them both fun and mentally stimulating — not just a quick walk around the block. Depending on your dog’s personality and energy level, walks can include sniff breaks, exploring new routes, light training reinforcement, and engaging activities to keep them mentally enriched as well as physically active. My drop-in visits can include: * Potty breaks * Feeding and fresh water * Playtime and exercise * Snuggles and companionship * Basic routine care and attention For house sitting, I provide overnight stays along with attentive daytime care every 0–2 hours depending on your dog’s needs. This includes potty time, walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, medication if needed, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for in their own home environment. Pet care is already a huge part of my daily routine, so caring for animals comes very naturally to me. My own dog, Milo, has a structured schedule that includes walks, playtime, feeding, grooming, training reinforcement, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m very used to planning my routine around a dog’s needs and making sure they feel comfortable, stimulated, and cared for consistently. Starting in June, I’ll be home full-time during the weekdays, which allows me to give pets much more attention and companionship than sitters who may be balancing another full-time job. Because of this, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, consistent supervision, and flexible scheduling for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. I especially love building routines that help dogs feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I don’t believe pet care should feel rushed or transactional. I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals and paying attention to their individual personalities and comfort levels. Some dogs want long walks and active play, while others prefer slower walks, cuddles, or calm companionship. I adjust my care to fit each pet specifically. Mental stimulation is also something I prioritize because I know it’s just as important as physical exercise. During walks and visits, I like incorporating sniff time, interactive play, and enrichment activities to help keep dogs mentally engaged and happy. For puppies, I’m patient with routines, potty training consistency, and energy management, and for senior dogs, I understand the importance of slower pacing, medication schedules, comfort, and gentle care. One thing that makes me stand out is the level of attention and presence I provide. I’m not someone who simply stops in for the minimum amount of time and leaves. I truly enjoy bonding with pets and making sure they feel loved and comfortable while their owners are away. I also know how important communication is for pet parents, so I make an effort to send updates, photos, and details about how their pet is doing so they can feel reassured and connected. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in, or overnight care, I aim to make pets feel like they’re spending time with someone they know and trust rather than just being “checked on.” I currently do not host pets in my own home, but I’m happy to care for them in the comfort of your home where they feel safest and most comfortable. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible while giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and care. For drop-ins, I provide potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, walks if needed, playtime, mental stimulation, and lots of cuddles and attention. For house sitting, I stay overnight with your pet and provide attentive daytime care including potty breaks every 0–2 hours depending on their needs, walks, feeding, medication administration if needed, playtime, and companionship. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and administering medication to my own dog, Milo, so I’m comfortable adjusting care to fit each pet’s personality and needs. Starting in June, I’ll be home full-time on weekdays, allowing me to provide flexible scheduling, frequent check-ins, and more quality time with your pet than many sitters are able to offer.
