“Bear was very comfortable with Yi and his family, which, puts me at ease. I will definitely recommend Yi AND I have every intention on using him again when my family head out of town.”
“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!”
“As usual Max was well cared for by Patrick and Karyn. They treated him with kindness and gave him so many extra holiday treats. They are dedicated, thoughtful “pet parents” who obviously love what they do. We couldn’t be more pleased!”
“Kathy was very friendly and responsive to my inquiries. She made sure to learn all of Rosie's health information, dietary needs, veterinarian information, etc. When I picked up Rosie, I could tell she was treated like a member of their household and was well-taken care of!”
“Thank you both for watching our baby Ocean, & letting her live her best life at your home. She came back happy & exhausted from playing. Melissa updated us with photos & video daily. Ocean had her own vacation while mommy & daddy were away! We will definitely drop her off again to be watched.”
“Giana took such good care of my dog - he's currently passed out and snoring, which I feel he will be doing all week! He loved her dogs and played so well with them. She also sent a ton of pictures and even did a cute photo shoot!! I am so happy we found her!”
“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.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She treated Bailey like her own and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Jeannemarie sent pictures and updates every day, which I really appreciated and looked forward to. It was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. I would absolutely trust her with my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter! ❤️🐾”
About: I’ve had a dog in my life since I was 7. I’ve always had a great relationship with them. Any new environment I go to I get to know the dogs first. My friends always point out the special relationship I have with them. I’ve taken care of friends dogs throught the years too. About 3 years ago I found a puppy on the street and raised him to be the good boy you see on my profile picture. I am very comfortable with dogs and understand them very well. I hope you trust me with your little friend. I am currently away from home for a few months so for now none. Usually everyday. I take my dog most places I go with me and make sure to let him run around and let out the crazy high amounts of energy he has haha I’m living with my mother here. She loves animals and is excited of the prospect of furry friends coming over. We have a fenced yard with a pool. I’ll also be taking them for walks regularly. At the house we’ll just be hanging out together!
“Marla is fantastic with dogs. I could not have asked for better dogsitter. Cubbie came back calm and happy, and that’s unusual when there are other dogs and new people around him as he is generally a a nervous, timid rescue pup. Highly recommend.”
“I had the best experience with Amber boarding my pup. From the start, she made me feel completely comfortable. She sent me daily updates with pictures and videos, and it was so reassuring to see how happy and well cared for Chase was. You can truly tell she loves what she does. I’m beyond grateful for the care she gave my pup and will definitely be returning. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and reliable! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Will was wonderful with our dog Ace! He sent us photos played with him and we ended up booking a second night! This allowed us to do stuff that we needed to do - knowing ace was in such good hands! I would highly recommend Will and we will definitely be using him again!”
“Kerri has been the best sitter for our Tiller! With photos everyday while we were gone and easing my nerves along the way that he was having the BEST time with her dogs in the snow and also playing inside, We would definitely use her again!”
“Korin was such an attentive and AMAZING 5 star sitter for our Roise!! We went away on vacation for a week out of the country and she made sure to contact us every single day with updates as well as sending us lots of photos and videos in which we greatly appreciated! She did very good with our Rosie! 10/10 highly recommend to be used!! We will be using Korin again for the near future any time we are going away for sure!! Thank you Korin for everything!!”
“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.”
“Thank you Jennifer for taking such good care of Dolly. She obviously felt safe and content in your home with loving attention by both you and your husband Jim. This was the longest time she has ever been away from us and we felt assured she was in good hands. Looking forward to having you take care of Dolly in the future.”
“Carlos is such a wonderful dog sitter! He really cares about your pet while they are with him. We are returning clients and will absolutely continue to schedule with him. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Ruby!”
“I am so happy we found Apryl! She treated my fur babies (3Poodles) while we were away with such great care. She was able to take my dogs with last minutes notice. Apryl sent daily pictures, videos and responded to our texts quickly. This made me able to truly relax on my vacation. I highly recommend Apryl and we will definitely be using her again. My dogs loved her too. Our boys got along great with her dog as well.”

“Janelle was absolutely amazing with my two cats! They're on strict feeding/med schedules and she followed all of my instructions perfectly. She played with the boys and sent some adorable pictures. I just moved to the area and I think I found my new pet sitter!!”
“Catherine was great! She took excellent care of our 2 shy cats and worked to get them comfortable with her. She was reliable and I felt very comfortable. I’m glad we found her on Rover!”
“Gerri took very good care of my cats during the week we were traveling. She is very friendly and love animals and my 2 cats liked her, too. I'll ask her again next time. Thank you for your support. And see you later. Thank you again!”
“Jordan was very professional and took very good care of our timid, difficult cat. We felt very comfortable leaving her in Jordan’s care. Jordan went above our expectations.”
“Amanda was great with our kitties while we were away on vacation! She sent lots of updates with photos/videos and was very respectful of our space. Amanda went above and beyond during meal times as our kitties need to be separated and can be picky eaters. I would highly recommend Amanda for any of your pet care needs!”
“We are happy to say that Julia took care of our pet in the best possible way. Our cat is quite shy with new people and Julia managed to make him feel comfortable around her. Amazing care, we are very grateful.”
“Emma & Trent took great care of my 2 kitties while my family and I were away. They followed all care instructions & even brought in any packages that were left outside the house & in the mailbox. Would definitely recommend them for your fur babies!!”
“Giana was fantastic! This was my first time using Rover and it was a last minute request, but she made the whole process smooth and easy. She even offered a meet and greet, and Malvin took to her immediately. Giana was incredibly attentive to Malvin, sent regular picture updates, and responded to my messages quickly. I highly recommend her to watch your fur baby and will definitely reach out to her again the next time I go away!”
“Really appreciate Kimberly's dedication, going above and beyond to care for our cat. Much to our surprise they made our cat, who is normally very shy around people, so comfortable he was snuggled up next to her and even requested belly rubs!”
“Patrick and Karyn were fantastic with our two dogs, Riley and Zeus! They gave them so much love and attention, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. Great communication and updates, and we came home to two very happy pups. Highly recommend!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kathy is truly amazing, and we feel so lucky to have found her! We have four dogs, which is definitely a lot to take on, but Kathy handles them all with so much patience, care, and love. From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable trusting her with not only our dogs, but our home as well. She consistently goes above and beyond what we could ever expect from a pet sitter. She is incredibly reliable, attentive, and genuinely cares about each of our dogs like they are her own. Having four dogs means four different personalities and needs, and Kathy takes the time to make sure every one of them is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. One of the best parts is the peace of mind she gives us when we’re away. We never have to worry about whether the dogs are okay or being taken care of — we know they are in wonderful hands with Kathy. That kind of trust is priceless when it comes to your pets. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, caring, trustworthy, and willing to go the extra mile, Kathy is absolutely the person you want. We cannot recommend her enough! ❤️🐾”
“Paige was a fantastic sitter, was able to do everything we asked, so gracious and patient when I completely forgot to leave instructions for administering medication. We got plenty of photos so we knew our babies were happy and cared for. 10/10 stars will book again!”
About: I am passionate about having happy pets and Pet Parents. I would treat each dog as if they were my own. My two fur babies include two ShihZu/terrior mixes Rugby and Veuve. Having my own dogs helps me understand on a personal level the type of care each pet parent would want for their family member. In my experience I have dog sat for a puppy Doodle for a family friend named Allison , an older Doodle named Bryland owned by my friend Ryan also for a puppy named Molly who needed supervision after a medical procedure . All would attest that their dogs were very well taken care of.I also have experience with walking dogs at a local animal shelter Save A Pet. I also helped care for cats there as well.

“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Our first time leaving our fur-daughter with Carlos Andrés and Natalia and I think we have found her second family. They sent pics throughout the day of Natalia walking her, and pics of her taking a nap on Carlos Andrés. They seem to be awesome caretakers and we will be hiring them as often as we can. Thank you!”
About: Hi! I'm Cat, and it is my literal pleasure to care for your dog, cat, lizard, bunny, or parrot! What you can expect from me: -Fast, clear, and concise executive-level communication. -Deep breed-specific knowledge of behavior underpinned by my time as a vet receptionist -High quality photos -Easy, flexible scheduling -Complete focus and attention to detail -Genuine joy and enthusiasm to care for your pet In my previous life, I was a design program manager within corporate tech (Meta, Comcast, Pinterest), and I'm thrilled and privileged to pivot into pet care. I have cared for dogs of every size, flavor, and temperament. I have extensive experience training dogs, and quite frankly, I've watched a whole lot of Westminster dog show. In particular, I have specialized experience with shy or nervous dogs and will provide them the space and understanding needed to relax and feel comfortable. I am happy to walk or jog to help burn canine energy. Not afraid to get down in the dirt and play! I have been deeply involved in cat rescue since 2020, when I began working remotely. I have fostered dozens of cats over the years. This includes kittens with complex medical issues. I am very capable at medicating cats and kittens as well as identifying when a cat may be feeling unwell. When you board with me, your pet will not be left alone for more than 1 hour. I only board pets from one household at a time and provide dedicated personal care. When your baby is at my house, they are family. Feel free to reach out with any additional questions. I'm currently working remotely doing project-based contract work, so I have plenty of availability and scheduling flexibility. If boarding or house-sitting, I will be fully available and no pet will be left alone longer than an hour. I have a friendly chihuahua mix (8 lbs) and 2 cats, but if needed, I have plenty of room to give everyone their own space. I have an unfenced backyard with plenty of room to romp. Dogs will always be leashed or tethered in yard.
“Clinton felt very happy soon as he entered Alyssa’s home and went around wagging his tail meeting Alyssa and inspecting her very clean home. Alyssa treated him like her own pet and lavished attention on him. She walked him in the evening and I could tell Clinton enjoyed very good care and love.”
About: I have hands-on experience working with animals through both therapy dog work and my previous experience as an assistant to a veterinary technician. This has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and how to handle pets with care, patience, and confidence. I’m comfortable supporting pets with different needs and always focus on making them feel safe, calm, and well cared for. Working from home allows me to be a consistent, calming presence for your pet throughout the day whether at my home or yours. I truly enjoy spending that time with them—whether it’s going on walks, giving them attention, or just being nearby so they don’t feel alone. I know every pet is different, so I follow their lead and make sure they feel comfortable and secure, whether they’re full of energy or prefer a more relaxed, quiet routine. I keep your pet’s routine consistent while providing attentive care, companionship, and a calm presence. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet time, I adapt to their needs and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I am also a photographer which could lead to getting some great photos while you are away!
“My Ginger enjoyed her doggie day care with Sarah! Sarah kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos of Ginger and her new friends. She was a sleepy girl when she got home too! Sarah was caring for Gingers timidness on a walk too. Highly recommend and will use Sarah as a dog sitter in the future!”
“Melissa did a superb job of taking care of my little Bailey. She updated me and sent me pictures periodically throughout the day. She also updated me and how many times Bailey was eating and using the bathroom. They had a big fenced in backyard which gave Bailey all the opportunity in the world to explore, sniff, and tire herself out before snoozing on their couch all night. Melissa will be my go to when traveling from now on!”
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.
“Gen was great! Super responsive, awesome fenced in back yard and really sweet dogs that Casey had a blast with. Will definitely use Gen again when we need someone to watch Casey. Thanks!!”
“Kimberline was the best! I think the true testament is that when I brought Liam back the second day in a row.. he ran into her house!!! She was so agreeable and kind about my arrival and departure times!!! Highly recommend!”
“As always, Bo had a fun afternoon at John’s! To be honest, John is the only sitter I feel safe and comfortable leaving Bo . He KNOWS Bo, he KNOWS dogs , no matter what type or the personality of your dog , he knows how to handle them ! Bo is high energy, wants a lot of attention, loves to play …..and John figured him out after day one ! Not everyone can handle that combination…John 100% does . He is definitely a true dog whisperer and Bo adores him …”
“We had to get work done to our house and or dog couldn't be home during the day. I looked at other options and they just didn't fit what we needed. We'd have to take off some hours from work as the construction was done on our house. I hopped onto Rover and quickly found Ashley. The rates were affordable and her profile really stood out as someone who cares about pets. We consider our dog, Amber, one of our children. Ashley was amazing with pick up and drop off. Always on time which was great because we wanted Amber to be picked up before the workers got there. When we got home from work Ashley would drop her off. My dog gets anxious easily and that, in turn, made me anxious about her being with someone she didn't know in a place she had never been. But Ashley was reassuring and great with her, even in the car ride which Amber usually despises. Ashley sent pictures and updates of Amber relaxing and being happy each day. Highly recommended. If we need a dog sitter she will be the first one to call.”
About: I've have grown up with and taken care of pets in my household for all of my life. I've cared for small dogs, big dogs, and cats! I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to look after and bring joy to your lovely pets! My schedule is very flexible, so I'm available on both weekends and weekdays including most typical work day hours! I live within walking distance from some great dog parks and I have fun pet toys for your bestie! Also, I will be sure to maintain organized schedules and checklists to stay consistent with your pet's care routine. With me, all of your fur friend's needs will be met and more! :)
“Had an initial mixup at drop off of no answer at the house, but problem was resolved after texts and a call to Rover, who was quick to help resolve the problem. But the day worked out great, and Leo seemed to have had a great time playing with Cynthia’s dog. He came home a happy and tired dog. We would use Cynthia again.Thank you, Cynthia”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs (and other animals!) for many years. Family, friends, and co-workers have relied on me to watch and care for their pets whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, even taking them to the vet. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages, from senior bull mastiffs to pugs under a year old. There is no dog too big or too small because they’re all perfect to me. I’ve also found lost dogs and helped them return to their owners! I have experience caring for anxious dogs, blind dogs, deaf dogs, dogs with mobility issues, and dogs that require medication. Other animals I’ve taken care of include: cats, parrots, guinea pigs, fish, rabbits, and hamsters. Pets are so precious, they’re such an important source of joy in their family’s lives so it’s such a privilege to be trusted with their care!! :) Pet sitting is currently my full time job, so I have lots of time to give your animals the special care and attention they deserve! I have a fenced in yard which is perfect for dogs to run around in. I also have a car so I’m able to take dogs to the dog park or dog beaches nearby (if that’s something they would enjoy). At a client’s house I still follow any guidance/schedule given to me. In between I typically take the dog’s lead. I’m at their house so it’s important to me that I respect their space (and the clients above all)! I like to take their cues to make sure that their sense of routine isn’t disrupted.

“Wow! Amazing couple… very professional and thorough. They did everything by the book and went beyond the call of duty. Seriously, they’re wonderful. Plan on using their services again. Thank you!”
About: I’ve owned and cared for four dogs of my own, giving each one consistent love, structure, and attention. I regularly take shelter dogs out for walks, playtime, toys, and treats to brighten their day. I’ve been a dog-lover since I was young, and I often dogsit for friends and family, giving every pup the same patient, reliable care I give my own. I work full time, but I’m consistently available every day between 4pm and 7pm. That window fits perfectly into my routine, and I’m always ready for walks, drop-ins, or evening care during those hours. Safety and trust are always my first priorities. During drop-ins and walks, I follow your pet’s routine exactly as you prefer; feeding, water, meds, or crate needs included. I keep a close eye on gates, doors, and leashes, and I make sure every walk is calm, controlled, and enjoyable. I always send updates, photos, and notes so you feel fully informed and confident while you’re away. Your pet gets my full attention, patience, and care every visit.
“Unfortunately with my job they’ve been making me work 12 hour days… I am so thankful for the help that you have given me! Lola is my baby and has been by my side for nine years! Thank you for making this process so much easier!!!”
“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!”
About: I've had ample experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. My experience includes working as a vet assistant at a clinic for cats. I also have experience giving medication to pets (one of my own cats requires daily shots). I am in school part time, so I have lots of availability. I can watch your pets overnight on weekends, and at flexible times during the week. I am not able to board any animals at my home, but I can and will make sure that your home environment is a safe and loving place while your pets are in my care.
About: I’m the person that family and friends go to when they want advice on how to teach dogs fun tricks. Also, I’m really good at telling dogs breeds apart which is fun when I’m out. I work part time on weekends and have classes early in the morning. So the rest of my time can be spent with your babies aka your pets. I have a big backyard that’s fenced in and all three of my dogs don't care for other dogs. As my two newest are shelter dogs I wont accept pets at my home for the time being. Im very patient with animals as I’m the one that cares for my dogs. I treat animals almost similarly to children as thats how I see my own.
About: I am passionate about having happy pets and Pet Parents. I would treat each dog as if they were my own. My two fur babies include two ShihZu/terrior mixes Rugby and Veuve. Having my own dogs helps me understand on a personal level the type of care each pet parent would want for their family member.

About: I’ve previously worked for another pet service where I took dogs on walks and did drop-in visits. I also have some experience with cats, but I have a 5-year old dog myself. I have experience taking care of elderly dogs as I dog sat for a family friend for a few months and stayed the night at their house once a week. I would take the dog for walks, spend time with him and give him any medication he needed. I love animals and it doesn’t feel like work to take care of them for me. I am a teacher, so I am free during school breaks and on weekends. When I am not working full-time at school, pet care will be my first priority. I will listen to any requests made by the pet owner for what they want me to do, such as letting them out in a fenced backyard or keeping them on a leash. I also have experience crate training my dog and find that can be a safe place for dogs too.
About: I have grown up with different dogs my entire life. My best friend was a Rottweiler named Sampson and I had him from a pup. I create trained him as well as click trained him to become a good citizen. I have experience with large breeds as well as small. I have cared my many fur babies in this own homes, keeping them happy with conversation, brushing, play time and long walks. I feel that all breeds deserve love regardless of the negativity they may get from others who don't understand the breed. I have owned pitbulls and have found them to be loyal and loving and don't judge any animal. I have experience training my own dogs as well as freinds and family. I'm currently working PT as a home health aid and have flexibility and free time Tuesday through Saturday to walk and hangout with your beloved fur baby. I would come to your home and watch your dog, take them for a walk, snuggle, feed, play, brush and engage them with conversation and provide them love and support.
“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.”
“My dog Leo loves Sarah! She provided his twice a day walks when I was working long shifts and sent great pictures of my fur baby. It’s clear she loves animals and they love her! It was a relief to find someone with clear communication who is super reliable.”

Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet time, I adapt to their needs and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I am also a photographer which could lead to getting some great photos while you are away!
About: When it comes to your pets, I understand how important their comfort, safety, and happiness are. I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have experience with dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve fostered pets, helped them find loving homes, and have taken care of everything from energetic puppies to seniors who need a little extra attention. I’m also big on communication—you’ll always stay updated. I send frequent messages, photos, and videos so you can feel connected and know exactly how your pet is doing. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or needs special care, I’ll treat them like family and make sure they feel loved and well cared for every step of the way. All I need to do is boxing. Monday to Friday for about an hour either in the morning or night. Saturday is boxing in the morning. In my home and my clients’ homes, I focus on giving pets a safe, comfortable, and calm environment where they can relax and feel at ease. I pay close attention to their routines, personality, and any special needs so they always feel cared for and understood. I keep a clean space, make sure doors and gates are secure, and always supervise play—especially with high-energy dogs. Whether your pet is shy, playful, or needs extra support, I adjust to their pace so they feel confident and comfortable. I’m also very communication-focused. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel connected while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and give you complete peace of mind.
“We booked a trip before we knew about the snowstorm and needed care for our Eli. Alison didn’t miss any walks and made sure Eli had playtime too. She’s awesome and we were able to enjoy our trip because of her.”
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: For the majority of my life, I have always had a dog in my possession! So I have always known how far my love and care for animals goes. I have watched my family’s dogs when they went on vacation and I’ve also walked a couple of dogs in my neighborhood. Now, my love and care for animals goes beyond measure. They are family, and should be treated as such! Which is why I plan on making sure I would treat your pets the same way you would if you were there! I will always plan to go above and beyond for your pets. I am not someone who does the bare minimum when it comes to taking care of animals. I love what I do and I have the passion for it. So I plan to do whatever I can to make sure that your pets are treated with the amount of love and care they deserve. I currently have 2 jobs, so I would just have to work with my schedule on what I can do! But it is something I am more than happy to do! Due to my living situation, I am unable to dog sit at my house. However, I would be able to find ways of travel to your home. I would make sure I was there with them for as long as you need, if not more! Plus I wouldn’t mind help getting a couple house things done while there if you needed. Just give me a list of what you want done and how you want it done and I know I’ll be able to help! I also can walk dogs if needed.

I would absolutely trust her with my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter! ❤️🐾”
About: I’ve had a dog in my life since I was 7. I’ve always had a great relationship with them. Any new environment I go to I get to know the dogs first. My friends always point out the special relationship I have with them. I’ve taken care of friends dogs throught the years too. About 3 years ago I found a puppy on the street and raised him to be the good boy you see on my profile picture. I am very comfortable with dogs and understand them very well. I hope you trust me with your little friend. I am currently away from home for a few months so for now none. Usually everyday. I take my dog most places I go with me and make sure to let him run around and let out the crazy high amounts of energy he has haha I’m living with my mother here. She loves animals and is excited of the prospect of furry friends coming over. We have a fenced yard with a pool. I’ll also be taking them for walks regularly. At the house we’ll just be hanging out together!
“Marla is fantastic with dogs. I could not have asked for better dogsitter. Cubbie came back calm and happy, and that’s unusual when there are other dogs and new people around him as he is generally a a nervous, timid rescue pup. Highly recommend.”
“I had the best experience with Amber boarding my pup. From the start, she made me feel completely comfortable. She sent me daily updates with pictures and videos, and it was so reassuring to see how happy and well cared for Chase was. You can truly tell she loves what she does. I’m beyond grateful for the care she gave my pup and will definitely be returning. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and reliable! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Will was wonderful with our dog Ace! He sent us photos played with him and we ended up booking a second night! This allowed us to do stuff that we needed to do - knowing ace was in such good hands! I would highly recommend Will and we will definitely be using him again!”
“Kerri has been the best sitter for our Tiller! With photos everyday while we were gone and easing my nerves along the way that he was having the BEST time with her dogs in the snow and also playing inside, We would definitely use her again!”
“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.”
“Thank you Jennifer for taking such good care of Dolly. She obviously felt safe and content in your home with loving attention by both you and your husband Jim.

“I am so happy we found Apryl! She treated my fur babies (3Poodles) while we were away with such great care. She was able to take my dogs with last minutes notice. Apryl sent daily pictures, videos and responded to our texts quickly. This made me able to truly relax on my vacation. I highly recommend Apryl and we will definitely be using her again. My dogs loved her too. Our boys got along great with her dog as well.”
“This was our first time leaving our girl for an extended length of time and I was beyond nervous, but Toni was absolutely amazing! She kept me updated with texts and photos that I not only felt that my dog was in good hands, but I saw that she was having the time of her life while staying at Toni’s! I will not only be recommending her in the future but I will definitely be boarding with Toni in the future!”
“John had our Rosie for 5 days over an holiday weekend and she had a great time!! She was well cared for, got her exercise in and made a furry bestie too!! John followed through on all of our feeding and sleeping instructions. I loved that he was in constant contact with me keeping me abreast of how she was eating and sleeping. I received adorable pictures of her draped in a Fourth of July scarf with her new bestie!! We highly recommend John for your pooch!! We promise, you will NOT be disappointed!!!!”
