“If you’re looking for someone to watch your dog - look no further! Jose is an amazing dog whisperer who took the best care of our 11 year old Aussie while we were away for a few weeks. Communication was quick and easy, our pup came home happy and tired - highly recommend!”
“I can't recommend Anthony and Jayson highly enough! Corin had an absolute blast. He loved spending time in the yard and came home happy. What really stood out was how responsive the rover was throughout the stay; I never had to wonder how things were going. I would absolutely book again the next time I travel. Five stars without hesitation!”
“I enjoyed to see the pictures and videos that she send me update daily. My dog enjoyed to stay her place. She did great communicate. Many thanks for care my dog. That is my first experience to send my dog to Rover app. I am glad I did. That’s worth it.”
“Cara and Dan were wonderful to work with. Sadie is a rescue and can be very skittish so I was delighted that she was so comfortable at their house. She warmed up to Cara more than Dan but I really liked both of them very much and would book again! Thanks Cara and Dan for providing a safe and caring environment for Miss Sadie🐶”
“Thank you so much Nicole for accommodating my almost 13 year old dog who is set in his ways. I am glad that he got along well and learned to socialize with the resident pets in your house.”
“Our Puppy seemed to do well , first time he was in the company of large dogs and when we picked him up he seemed just fine with us being gone for a day/.night. communication was good with Tyler and Melissa.”
“Thomas was wonderful with our airedale terrier. He sent pictures and updates about their adventures. Our dog has food allergies and Thomas was able to make sure he did not come into contact with them. We will look forward to hiring him in the future.”
“rochelle was the perfect fit for my dog, maddie! she is very kind, accomodating and professional. maddie enjoyed her fenced in yard and her lovely home. i would highly recommned rochelle!”
“David was everything we could ask for in a sitter, from initial contact all the way through to pick-up. We especially appreciate how communicative he was, quickly responding to our initial request, arranging a meet-and-greet, and then providing steady updates throughout Teddy's (9yo Pomeranian) stay. Upon meeting, David gave us the confidence that our small dog's safety and comfort was a priority, patiently listening to our lengthy and exhaustive introduction while Teddy made himself right at home. When we returned, Teddy settled right in and all of the pictures and videos during his stay were of a happy, contented creature in excellent hands. We look forward to future visits, and think Teddy will be just as glad to return!”
“Marie was AMAZING with my fur baby, truly interested, warm and welcoming. Marie also communicated with me and sent photos all week long. She has great energy and my pup loved her. They went for long walks every day, practiced his training and played. Marie even bought extra food when my food ran out. Super attentive dog care and highly recommend 110%”
“Ada and Micheli took great care of our dog while we were out of town for a week. Our dog, who has seizures every few months, is on a bunch of oral medications that she takes at specific times. Though our dog did not have any seizures while we were away, I was nervous finding someone who is attentive to those specific needs. Ada and Micheli provided daily pictures and updates during her stay, including an occasional photo of giving our dog her medications. It provided a peace of mind. Our dog looked to be very satisfied to stay with them. Thank you again, Ada, and Micheli!”
“Amber was a fantastic sitter! She took amazing care of our sweet girl and provided us with great updates while we were away. You can tell she knows how to take care of dogs and I truly felt our fur baby was safe with her. We will definitely be using Amber again!!”
“Jenn and her family were exceptional hosts for my Harlow's stay. Harlow was loved on and cared for as much as she is in her own home here with us. We don't often board Harlow, but will not hesitate to rebook with this lovely family.”
“We left our two small dogs with Alex for a three day weekend. This is the first time our dogs have not been with us and without any exaggeration, we could not have hoped for a better experience! One of our dogs has separation anxiety issues. Within a short time of being left there Alex had him relaxed and having fun playing and feeling comfortable in his unknown surroundings. We did leave both of them with Alex for a short three hour dog sitting session a few days before so it wasn’t totally unknown, this may have helped a bit. But Alex is a bit of a dog whisperer himself, and is very in tune to the dogs condition and needs. They gave us wonderful updates with videos and photos, as well as texts, keeping us up-to-date on what activities the dogs were involved with at the time. Which was very reassuring. They provide a wonderful environment for the animals.”
“Alicia was professional, friendly and sent daily updates with photos and videos of my dog. Any extra updates I requested were provided quickly. My dog has a lot of anxiety and she was very patient with him and provided him with the attention (and snuggles) he needed. He was clearly very well cared for. I will be using her again in the future!”
“Melissa did a fantastic job with my dog Marley. Marley is usually nervous around strangers but took to Melissa right away. She watched her over a long weekend and sent regular updates/photos and did everything to make Marley’s stay comfortable. It was great to know she was loved and cared for while I was away.”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life, and my love for them runs deep. I have two of my own who mean the world to me- I care for them just like I would any other member of my family, because to me, they are family. I work a full‑time job Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., but I do stop home during my hour‑long lunch break for a potty break and some playtime. Once I’m off at 5 p.m., it’s playtime again. I’m also off on weekends. While my yard isn’t fenced at the moment, your pup will enjoy daily walks alongside my two playful dogs who love having extra company. I kindly ask that a crate be provided for times when I need to step out, as I prefer not to leave pets unattended in the home. My own dogs are also crated whenever I’m away.
“We were absolutely blown away by Beth and Doug and how they cared for Fritz. She provided daily feedback about how he was doing and this reinforced how perfect the match was for Fritz and us. Their house is setup for dogs and they are both laid back and do not get flustered. I truly believe that they treated Fritz as well as we do at our home and couldn't be happier to have met them. I would give them the highest recommendation possible if anyone I looking for a short or longer term dog sitting.”

“This was our second time booking with Nicole and we are so happy with how she cares for our cat, Lulu. Nicole is reliable, communicative, and took great care of our cat both times we booked. We came home to a happy cat and really appreciated the updates and photos while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“We are so happy we found Rico. Our cat gets so stressed out when we leave her overnight. Rico took such good care of her. She acted like we had just come back from the grocery store after being gone for four nights. She was so relaxed and happy! On top of that the house so clean one could not even tell anyone had been there! Thank you Rico for taking such exceptional care of our Maxine! Best pet sitter EVER !”
“Rebecca took care of my cat while we were away for two weeks. She was very caring and kept me updated of everything with Chico. I’d definetly recommend her and use her services again.”
“Ona was great with our two kittens!! She did such an amazing job caring for them and took the best photos. We enjoyed her updates and was very reliable. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend!”
“Alexandra is reliable, clearly loved animals, and is able to consistently provide our elderly cat special care with meds. We fully trust her in our house and always come home to a happy cat. Her photos aren't bad either!”
About: I’ve had cats from the time I was born our house always had at least 3 cats! From hyper playful cats to lazy just want to be loved on cats! My friend currently has 2 cats and when she vacations I cat sit for her. I’m not a cat person I’m an animal person 🤗
“Lauren is a fantastic sitter that was flexible, prompt, and professional. She made sure my cat was checked in on and played with daily - even in a winter storm and on Christmas! I will absolutely be using her services again and would recommend her to anyone needing pet care”
“Jess was wonderful with our cat. She made sure our girl had enough food and fresh water, cleaned the litter box, and made sure she was ok (even though our cat is skittish and hid). She was super nice and kept us updated via text. We will definitely hire her again when we go out of town.”
About: Hello there ! My name is Grace and I am 25 years old living in Rochester NY and love all animals! I worked for Lollipop farm for about a year as an adoption counselor but decided to part ways with the career as I’ve found other hobbies. But since then I’ve always found my way back with fostering and animal sitting for friends and family. I’d love to extend the love to your furry friend too! I can’t wait to meet your animals and give them all the love! So I work full time right now but the hours aren’t the same each week but I’m always free before 9AM and the latest 9PM. So it all depends on the animals needs. I try to have them get use to my scent first, give them attention, and make sure to ask the owner as many questions as needed to make the situation easier for the animal. Since I would be someone new.
“Jessica did a good job feeding my cat and giving her meds and her infusion. I hired Hessica to house sit my cat with overnight. She she said couldn’t do the overnight, I let it go, then she said that she couldn’t stay the whole day with my cat, she will be in and out all day, I let it go. I paid her a premium to house sit, what could I do? I had an auto accident and didn’t feel well so I let it go again. My cat will cry if she is left alone, I have a very elderly and frail husband that was at home and kept my cat company otherwise I would cancelled my trip and stayed at home. If I hire someone to house sit it’s at one price, to come in and out the whole day it’s at another price. In the future I will not repeat this kind of arrangement again.”
“John is easygoing and passionate about pet care. Based on our initial meeting I had no reservations about his ability to manage drop-in visits with my cat. While I was away, he provided detailed reports on each visits with photos to document their activities together. John clearly made the effort to bond with my cat and show him the affection he desperately craves while I’m away. I will certainly invite John to return in the future.”
About: My name is Alex Johnson and I am 29 years old and would love to dog/cat sit for you! I recently graduated from Rider University and looking for a friendly companion to look after in doing something I love. I am very responsible with dogs and give them all the attention they need! I am able to give your dog any treatments as needed. I will be 100% dedicated to your dog and will abide by any necessary requirements your dog needs. I always make sure that I have time for pet care and that the animals I take care of are comfortable and happy to be with me! I take care of my 7 year old cat and 3 year old dog by responding to them in an attentive manner. They always get the best treatment!
“Anais did a phenomenal job watching out puppies while we were on vacation. She worked with our wants/needs and handled our crazy pups like a pro. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for someone to walk or sit their dogs.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Duran Eastman Park
“Omgosh what a great experience! Short notice meet and greet and then next day stay. Such obvious dog lovers and a welcoming home. Jackson’s big big and fills up a room and they let him. This was a situation where we needed help in a pinch but we will definitely be booking again. This was such a great first time Rover experience - thank you!!”
“I really am so happy with the care my dog received here. She was happy and would have probably been happy to stay and play with these wonderful humans! It feels great to know that she is being loved a LOT! Highly recommend.”
About: I have over 4 years of dedicated pet care experience, looking after dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I treat every animal in my care with the same love, respect, and attention I would give my own, ensuring they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m currently working part time with flexible hours. Im available during weekdays and most weekends so i’m ready to care for your furry friends when needed! When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining their normal routine to minimize any stress. I double-check that all doors and gates are securely locked before letting dogs out, and I always keep them on a secure leash during walks. I am highly respectful of your property, strictly follow all house rules, and make sure hazards like human food or loose items are kept safely out of reach. You can count on receiving regular photo updates so you know everything is running smoothly and safely!
“We are new to the area and didn't know anyone who could watch our dogs for the day while we moved from our rental into our new house, so using Rover was an obvious choice. We needed someone to pick up our two dogs early at the rental and drop them off late at the new house and Adriana agreed to both. Even when I contacted her to ask if she could keep them a little longer since the move wasn't complete, she agreed to do so without any additional fees. She didn't even complain when one of the dogs threw up in her car and defecated in her home. (Sorry about that!) I would definitely call on Adriana again if the need arises.”
About: Hi, I'm Jackie! I have had pets for over 20 years and am a huge animal lover. I have three cats and a dog - who are all incredibly spoiled. I also have experience with fish, reptiles, small pets, and birds as well. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds :) I work from home and enjoy talking my dog on walks or out into the backyard during breaks or after work. We spend as much time as we can outside. I care about any animal’s health and safety first. In my own home, I try to let the dog I’m sitting be as comfortable as possible - whether that’s being my shadow, hanging out on the couch, or supervising the neighborhood through the window. My dog, Banner, is 7 years old, 85lbs, and he loves other dogs - he’s very gentle with older or small dogs, too. While he likes to play in little bursts, he does not have puppy energy like he used to and my home wouldn’t be the best for a dog who needs a ton of playtime.
“Quinn took AMAZING care of Jose!! He loved being outside in her yard and playing with the other dogs. I received photos/videos every hour as well as updates on how he was adapting. I will definitely be taking him there again! Thanks Quinn!! 😊”
About: Hello! Thank you for trusting me with your pet’s care and comfort. 🐾😊 I’m a licensed veterinary technician and professional dog trainer with a lifelong passion for animal care. With both medical and behavioral experience, I’m comfortable handling everything from shy or anxious pups to seniors and those with special needs. Your dog isn’t just being watched, they’re being truly understood and cared for. I conduct meet-and-greets in your home so your pup can feel comfortable in their own environment while we get to know each other. I’ve found this sets everyone up for success because, just like kids, dogs often behave better when their parents are away. Instead of overwhelming them with a new space and new dogs all at once, I take the first few days to carefully introduce them to my home and pack. This thoughtful approach creates a calmer, safer transition and helps prevent stress or conflict. Safety is always my top priority. I take pride in creating a structured, low-stress environment where every dog feels secure and respected. At this time, I primarily accept dogs 40 lbs and under. Larger dogs are welcome to inquire and may be accepted depending on temperament, ease of care, and compatibility with my household. I share my home with well-balanced dogs, one younger Border Collie, Hopper, a rescue chihuahua Skipper, a rescue Collie mix, Jake and my rescue Shiba Inu, Renji. 🐕 I also have some dog-savvy cats who are very accustomed to canine guests. 🐱 My home is designed with comfort in mind, whether your pup loves to play or prefers a quiet place to relax. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, cozy lounging areas, and easy access for senior dogs who may need to avoid stairs. To ensure the highest level of care and attention, I typically host one guest dog at a time. I’m happy to accommodate multiple dogs from the same family. As an added bonus, I can provide basic grooming services during your dog’s stay, including nail trims, ear cleaning, bathing, and anal gland expression if needed for an additional fee. Feel free to inquire. I look forward to your fur baby’s stay! Thank you and have a ✨ Pawsitive ✨ day! Kimberley G, LVT, CDT I work from home so daily pet care is easy and your pets are never left alone for more than a couple hours. When I do have to leave, I have cameras to help keep an eye on them and make sure they are safe as well. 👀 I care for guests the same way I care for my own pets. I appreciate how scary it can be leaving your fur baby in someone else’s hands, so I send pictures and updates as frequently as you’d like. Safety is my number one priority. I will always do my best to ensure a safe and enjoyable stay for your pup. My motto? “They’ll be relaxed, so you can relax.” 🐾☺️
“Alicia took great care of my Lucy. Lucy has special needs and Alicia made sure she was well-cared for. I appreciate the kindness and patience she has and her willingness to watch an anxious, fearful dog. I am grateful for the availability, when given a short notice, to watch Lucy. She has always been available. I also appreciate her response time when I try to reach her. I feel Lucy is in great hands.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats ever since I was 17-18 years old. I have watched friends cats and I have watched family’s dogs. I am a quick learner if there is something special you need me to do for your pet. While I have not babysat dogs that often, I am very good with them and have taken care of them before I am currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to walk, play with and take care of your furry little friends/family. I have a cat of my own as well as ferrets that I take care of everyday and play with and I’d be happy to do it for you. As I live in an apartment, they do not allow me to dog sit here. So I am more than willing to come watch your furry little friends and do whatever you need to be done for your pet while they are in my care.
“Very satisfied with Barbara’s care of our senior Yorkie. Barbara was quick to respond to messages and she followed some pretty detailed instructions to the letter. And she sent several pictures during the day.”
About: I have never been without at least one dog and my home is their home too. I have a plaque above my french door to the back deck and yard and it says "Agenda for the day; dog in, dog out,etc) I have a ramp down into yard as well. Your dog will be cared and loved and supported the whole time; lots of toys here and beds; pup and human. I am retired and have the time to devote to your animals needs and wants.I make sure each of my dog's get their needs met. I have a fenced in yard with the forever wild behind me so lots for you dog to see. Your dog will be with my 7 year old rescue and sometimes my boyfriend's 13 year old border collie...both sweet and accepting of other dogs and humans.
About: I've have grown up always having dogs and learned early on how to be responsible for them. I know it is hard to leave your pets when you leave for a trip or vacation, they will get plenty of love at my home. My dogs always get complements for being well mannered and well groomed. I currently have a 2 year old Sheltie who would love to play with your little one. I work from home and all of my breaks I spend with my dog. I provide four 15 minute walks a day and play fetch, soccer, and wiffle ball with him too. I have a fenced yard and a pet friendly home since I have my own fur baby. I will be more than happy to make your pup feel comfortable and welcomed. I will only crate if that is what you prefer. I enjoy having dogs around the house and enjoying socializing with the other dogs. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup!

“Rico is amazing with our two Irish Red & White Setters. As he learned today, Truvy is very adept at scaling fences. Rico was on top of the situation and thwarted her planned escape.”
About: I've had dogs my whole life, and I am hoping I can help with yours. I have a dog who is 11 who needs daily medication, so if that's you, I have you covered. I can help most while my big is at school, but I can flex if you need a specific time. I am happy to offer to walking, checkins, feeding and medication I am a SAHM for a 20 month old, so I can drop by most times, just let me know what you need from me. As I mentioned, I am no steanger to medication, not averse to the yuck stuff, I have my own kids. I have walked all kinds of dogs for years, both as a volunteer and at home.
“John was excellent with my dog. He was polite and dependable. I knew I could count on him and that my dog was safe in his hands!! I recommend him!!! I'll be using John's services as long as I'm living in Rochester.”
About: I have had two dogs in my life, both with completely different personalities. I also don’t scare easily, and am good at reading an animal’s body language. PLEASE READ: I currently working a full time job Monday-Friday 2:00 pm to 10:30 pm, and I am looking for a part time side hustle. Unless I am out of town, I can take care of your beloved fur babies. Can’t wait to meet them😁❤️ They are always fed by a specific time, and I always make sure they have some sort of play/walk time along with mental stimulation if possible.
About: Hi, I'm Tom! I've spent over four decades living with and loving animals, and I've never lost that "avid" spark for a day spent with a dog. I'm an active person who genuinely enjoys being outdoors, so if your dog has energy to burn, they've met their match! I truly enjoy working with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. Whether it's a slow, gentle stroll for a senior pup, a playful walk for a growing puppy, or a high-energy trek for a large breed, I adapt my pace to meet your dog's specific needs. While I love the little guys, I am also more than capable of handling "gentle giants" and strong pullers with confidence and care. I'm well-versed in using various walking gear, from standard leashes to front-clip harnesses, ensuring every dog stays safe and controlled regardless of their size. Whether it's a brisk neighborhood power-walk or exploring local trails like Durand Eastman or Lucien Morin Park (two of my dog's favorites), I tailor every outing to your dog's fitness level. I'm not just there to "do the job"—I'm there to make sure your pup gets the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need to be happy and tired by the time they get home. In my personal life, I am also a primary caregiver for my mother, who manages daily medical conditions. Because of this, staying on a strict schedule, managing precise routines, and being deeply observant is second nature to me. I bring that exact same level of patience, compassion, and structure to every animal under my supervision. I'm available every day from 11 am - 3 pm Dog walking: 30 or 60 minute neighborhood strolls. Drop in visits: Short check-ins for feeding, potty breaks, or playtime in client's home. Pet Taxi: Adventure Excursions: for trips to the groomer, vet, and daycare. Doggy Shuttle: Solo or group hikes and adventures at some of our fine local parks Senior and Medical Care: Medication administration (pills or injections) and gentle strolls with backup wagon assist if needed. Puppy specialized care: Frequent short visits tailored for training and socialization needs of dogs under one year old. No extra charge for basic feeding or oral medication administration... Safety is my top priority, and I take a proactive approach to ensure every pet in my care is secure and comfortable. With over 40 yrs experience, I've learned that anticipation is key especially with large breeds. I am always vigilant about my surroundings and focused entirely on your dog. Gear check: I perform a thorough check of all leashes, collars, and harnesses before every walk to ensure they are in perfect working order. On-leash Only: For maximum safety, I keep all dogs on leash during our outings, even in off-leash areas, unless we are in a 100% secure, fenced in yard. Environmental awareness: I avoid interactions with unfamiliar dogs or people on walks to prevent any unpredictable situations. I am also highly mindful of the weather, ensuring paws are protected from hot pavement and that pups stay hydrated. Home Security: When entering and exiting your home, I use extra caution to prevent "door dashing." I treat your home with the same respect and care I give my own. After our visit or walk, i take a moment to send you a detailed "Report Card." You'll get a summary of our route, their behavior, and-of course- at least 2-3 great action shots from our time together. I treat every schedule with the same reliability I'd want for my own pets. Rochester weather can be unpredictable! For the safety of your pet, I may shorten walks during extreme heat (90+) or dangerous wind chills. In these cases, we will spend the remaining time playing indoors or doing mental enrichment challenges, so they still get their energy out. Depending on your specific dog's tolerances and needs...
“Jess is great with our dogs! We have two VERY nervous dogs, that take time to adjust to new people. Jess was willing to come over and meet our dogs multiple times so they were comfortable with her entering our home when we weren't there. She takes great care of them. I feel at ease while at work, knowing she's coming over to love them up and take them for a walk.”
About: 18 years of dog/cat sitting experience who has a deep love for all animals. We treat every pet like they are our own. Guaranteed they leave happy every time! We take every dog we watch for at least one long walk daily (If they are able), and can adjust as needed based on your preferences. We have a very open and accommodating schedule. Your pet will never be left alone all day! Melissa and I make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. We have fenced in yard with a good amount of space for dogs to run and have a 4 year old yellow lab who loves to play and will help get energy out. She has the awareness to pull back if other dogs don’t want to play with her. We have a 7 year old cat who will typically hide upstairs in her room while new animals are over. Luna is friendly when she comes around. I have a long time girlfriend Melissa, who lives with me and will be helping out.
About: People have called me the "dog-whisperer", but I have an affinity with animals of all kinds. I have had several happy and sometimes spoiled dogs and cats of my own throughout my life, I am also the only person I know who never lost their hamster as a child. I love going on long walks and hikes, I even once had a cat who liked to go on walks with me. Dogs I have cared for in the past, have been known to miss me after they went home and were excited to see me again the next time. I am almost always available, very punctual, quite active, and I love having a furry four legged companion on a walk or a nice long hike. I am a full time student. My availability is generally open in the afternoon and evenings during the week, with full availability on the weekend. I like to follow instructions so a list is handy, I can take your pets on walks or hikes, and im very good at keepimg animals company and entertained.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and I love and care for them all. My own dog is my whole world and I treat all dogs like they are my own. I am a college student on summer break looking for dog walking and dog sitting opportunities. I have lots of free time and can do drop in visits as well. I will respect everything in my clients house and listen to all of the instructions they give me. I will care for the dog and make sure all it’s needs are met.
About: Certainly a lover of all animals, but I'm mostly definitely a dog person!! I have cared for my own jack russell for the past several years, but had to leave her with my parents since my original apartment did not allow pets. Now, however, I’m in a pet friendly area and have my own pit mix named Buddy! He is a rescue so new introductions need to move slowly, but once he gets to know you he will love you unconditionally! We are looking for a walker to come between 11:30-1 on weekdays to walk him for a half hour. I’m happy to do a run through walk with you to make sure you’re comfortable and ready to take on The Bud Man. Let me know if you’re interested! I work full time as a teacher but am available mid-late afternoons, weekends and holidays. For summer I am looking for full time dog care jobs! I typically don’t have my dog around other dogs for safety precautions. Depending on the clients preferences, I can frequently let your pets out for potty breaks, take them out on leashes during potty breaks, feed them, administer medical care as needed, and give them lots of loving.
“Barbara has been a blessing to me and my golden retriever. My mom passed away about a month ago and she watched over the dog while I was at work so I was in a situation where if I couldn’t create a life for my dog during the hours I’m away from home I would have to think of giving her up and that would have been devastating. Barbara agreed to come out twice a day to take care of Cassidy and she has been the most dependable, caring, and compassionate person to my beloved dog. She was so patient with Cassidy, she was going through a big adjustment with the loss of my mom. Barbara truly spent a lot of time establishing a bond with her and slowly they have developed a nice routine of playing in the backyard. They relax in the sun, play ball and with all her toys. I am very thankful to Barbara for the dependability, her caring nature and the smile on my dog each day I come home let’s me know I chose the right service and the perfect person to care after my dog. Thank you Barbara!”

About: Hi! My name is Alicia, I'm 30 years old and from Rochester. I mostly model for a living, but I miss having something to do during the weekdays, hence the new second job. I have always been an animal lover. I've had dogs all my life, and I'm very experienced with animals. I have not only helped trained my dog when she was a puppy, I also have been dog walking and house sitting in a professional setting for a couple years now. I have experience with small dogs, medium and large. My dog is my world and I don't think I could be anymore of an animal lover. I would love to become your dogs next best friend :) I am always up to the task of caring for animals, no matter how high energy they are. I love connecting with new animals and learning their routines. I am always on high alert with everyone, especially if I am the main care taker of an animal, so I always have their best interest in mind
About: I am a retired Police Officer and a Red Cross Volunteer looking for something to do that I enjoy. I have been a pet owner for 40 plus years, mostly dogs but also have had a few cats.

I am an avid exerciser so I love to get out and walk and would love to have your pets join me. My days are pretty much open so my availability is very flexible. So if you are looking for trustworthiness, reliability and someone to put your mind at ease I believe you have found that person. Look forward to hearing from you.

“If you’re looking for someone to watch your dog - look no further! Jose is an amazing dog whisperer who took the best care of our 11 year old Aussie while we were away for a few weeks. Communication was quick and easy, our pup came home happy and tired - highly recommend!”
“I can't recommend Anthony and Jayson highly enough! Corin had an absolute blast. He loved spending time in the yard and came home happy. What really stood out was how responsive the rover was throughout the stay; I never had to wonder how things were going. I would absolutely book again the next time I travel. Five stars without hesitation!”
“Chelsea was absolutely amazing as always and so accommodating on short notice. Always have peace of mind being away knowing that our boy is happy and safe with her!”
“Cara and Dan were wonderful to work with. Sadie is a rescue and can be very skittish so I was delighted that she was so comfortable at their house. She warmed up to Cara more than Dan but I really liked both of them very much and would book again! Thanks Cara and Dan for providing a safe and caring environment for Miss Sadie🐶”
“Elliot and Dominque were absolutely wonderful. I was nervous to leave my dog for 2 weeks- the longest I’ve ever been away from him!, but they eased my worries with frequent updates and pictures. I felt confident that he was in good hands, which helped me enjoy my trip that much more. Thank you!!”
“Thank you so much Nicole for accommodating my almost 13 year old dog who is set in his ways. I am glad that he got along well and learned to socialize with the resident pets in your house.”
“Our Puppy seemed to do well , first time he was in the company of large dogs and when we picked him up he seemed just fine with us being gone for a day/.night. communication was good with Tyler and Melissa.”
“Thomas was wonderful with our airedale terrier. He sent pictures and updates about their adventures. Our dog has food allergies and Thomas was able to make sure he did not come into contact with them. We will look forward to hiring him in the future.”
“David was everything we could ask for in a sitter, from initial contact all the way through to pick-up. We especially appreciate how communicative he was, quickly responding to our initial request, arranging a meet-and-greet, and then providing steady updates throughout Teddy's (9yo Pomeranian) stay. Upon meeting, David gave us the confidence that our small dog's safety and comfort was a priority, patiently listening to our lengthy and exhaustive introduction while Teddy made himself right at home. When we returned, Teddy settled right in and all of the pictures and videos during his stay were of a happy, contented creature in excellent hands. We look forward to future visits, and think Teddy will be just as glad to return!”
“I had an amazing experience with Rick! He took exceptional care of my dog and treated him like his own. He was reliable, communicated regularly with updates and photos, and made sure all his needs were met.”
“Shelby was very nice, she was wonderful with my dog, Waylon. She was also gracious when I asked to change the pick up time. Waylon loved playing with her dog, Copper. I will be taking Waylon back to see Shelby and Copper again.”
“Alyssa was amazing with Lucy. It was her first time being away from her owner and in a new place and from all the pictures I received I could tell she was well taken care of and she enjoyed herself. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Amber was a fantastic sitter! She took amazing care of our sweet girl and provided us with great updates while we were away. You can tell she knows how to take care of dogs and I truly felt our fur baby was safe with her. We will definitely be using Amber again!!”
“Kim was fantastic, and my dog was so happy at her house. Kim sent lots of photos, and communicated well. I am so happy with Kim’s services, and will be returning again soon. Thank you!”
“We left our two small dogs with Alex for a three day weekend. This is the first time our dogs have not been with us and without any exaggeration, we could not have hoped for a better experience! One of our dogs has separation anxiety issues. Within a short time of being left there Alex had him relaxed and having fun playing and feeling comfortable in his unknown surroundings. We did leave both of them with Alex for a short three hour dog sitting session a few days before so it wasn’t totally unknown, this may have helped a bit. But Alex is a bit of a dog whisperer himself, and is very in tune to the dogs condition and needs. They gave us wonderful updates with videos and photos, as well as texts, keeping us up-to-date on what activities the dogs were involved with at the time. Which was very reassuring. They provide a wonderful environment for the animals.”
“Hannah was amazing.! I could tell that Ben was cared for properly and treated like apart of her family. Great environment for my dog and I will definitely be using her services more often.”
“Alicia was professional, friendly and sent daily updates with photos and videos of my dog. Any extra updates I requested were provided quickly. My dog has a lot of anxiety and she was very patient with him and provided him with the attention (and snuggles) he needed. He was clearly very well cared for. I will be using her again in the future!”
“Melissa did a fantastic job with my dog Marley. Marley is usually nervous around strangers but took to Melissa right away. She watched her over a long weekend and sent regular updates/photos and did everything to make Marley’s stay comfortable. It was great to know she was loved and cared for while I was away.”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life, and my love for them runs deep. I have two of my own who mean the world to me- I care for them just like I would any other member of my family, because to me, they are family. I work a full‑time job Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., but I do stop home during my hour‑long lunch break for a potty break and some playtime. Once I’m off at 5 p.m., it’s playtime again. I’m also off on weekends. While my yard isn’t fenced at the moment, your pup will enjoy daily walks alongside my two playful dogs who love having extra company. I kindly ask that a crate be provided for times when I need to step out, as I prefer not to leave pets unattended in the home. My own dogs are also crated whenever I’m away.
