We hadn't used a pet sitter in awhile and were nervous to try someone new, but Amber answered all of my questions right away, took the time to do a meet and greet first, and provided excellent communication throughout the stay. I felt very reassured that my dog was getting lots of attention and care, and we greatly appreciated all the updates and pictures.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and understand that pets are family. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I’m patient, dependable, attentive to routines, and skilled at recognizing behavioral changes and individual needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, providing companionship, administering basic medications when instructed, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I have experience providing both in-home pet sitting and boarding dogs in my own home. Before transitioning into the corporate world, I partnered with a friend who owned a successful dog-sitting business, where I cared for pets for approximately six years. During that time, I gained experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and care needs. I’m now excited to return to pet care because it’s something I truly enjoy. I enjoy spending quality time with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone reliable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, and plenty of affection. I’ll communicate with you throughout each visit by sending updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll provide patient, loving, and attentive care while respecting your home and your pet’s boundaries. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure your furry family member feels comfortable, secure, and loved every step of the way.
“Beth was great! She did a wonderful job taking care of Annie! Annie loved the backyard playtime she doesn’t normally get at our house and came home exhausted! Beth did a great job keeping us up to date on how Annie was doing and sending us pictures. She took great care of our puppy. Highly recommended.”
“Alice was excellent to work with, very accommodating. They took great care of our dog, and sent us pictures, videos and updates regularly. When we need to travel, I'll be connecting with Alice again, our dog loved it there.”
“Thanks so much Dawn and Robert for a great stay and experience. They were so helpful and flexible throughout the process and Frank had a great time. Thanks again!”
“Alexandria is the best. She took care of Star as her own. She even went to the vet to pick up some medications that were needed during the stay. I would go with Alexandria again anytime over anyone else! I cannot say enough good things about her. She clearly loves dogs and goes above and beyond expectations!”
“First time using the app in an emergency. Continued to provided updates during a timely manner with pics. Dog seemed happy and at peace . He had a great lil nap after pick up”
“This was our first time using Rover. We selected Ellen because she had many positive reviews as well as multiple returning clients. We made the right choice selecting Ellen to watch our fur babies. She is extremely accommodating and understanding. Our 2 pups have a number of quirks, but Ellen worked with them and gave them a home away from home. She sent multiple pictures a day and some videos, along with an update of the daily activities. We will absolutely be using Ellen if we go away and need a sitter. I cannot speak any higher of Ellen. Highly recommend! Thanks again Ellen for putting our minds at ease.”
“Yet again, Dawn has been just wonderful with our blind, senior dog. We’ve never had any issues over the several times we’ve booked Dawn, and will always recommend her! See you soon, Dawn!”
“Allison is an excellent dogsitter! She is experienced with older dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs who need medication and extra reassurance. She put my mind at ease with her excellent care of my senior pup who is usually very nervous in new places but felt right at home in Allison’s quiet, cozy, clean house. Allison sent lots of photos and updates so I knew my dog was doing well. I’ll definitely book with Allison again.”
“Lauren was great! Libby felt right at home and settled in really quickly. The huge fenced in back yard was definitely a plus and libby loved hanging out back there. We really appreciated how communicative and responsive Lauren was and we will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Maolin was a great caretaker for Nash. We were away on vacation for 10 days and she sent daily photos and videos as well as took Nash to the local dog park to play around. She really seemed to care a great deal for Nash as like she was her own. Would definitely use again and refer her to others!”

“Justin was amazing! I’m so grateful he took such great care of my baby Nittany. She’s on multiple seizure medications, so I needed someone truly reliable to give them on time, and Justin absolutely delivered. He even kept a close eye on her sneaky ways of trying to avoid them (not surprised, lol)! I would 100% book with Justin again and recommend him to everyone on this app. Thank you, Justin!”

“Courteney has dropped in multiple times and for multiple days to care for our elderly cat as we have traveled far and wide. We have never worried about our kitty while we were away and Courteney was on duty. She is extremely dependable, trustworthy, stays in contact regularly, and is sensitive to animals' temperament and moods. I highly recommend her without reservation!”
“Madigan did a wonderful job checking in on our kitties while we were out of town! She was comfortable with giving my elderly cat her insulin injections and oral medications and did a great job giving them to her. She wrote detailed notes about each visit, took lots of great pictures, and showed our kitties lots of love. Would recommend Madigan- she will do an awesome job taking care of your pets!”
“Vanessa was fantastic at taking care of my two cats over a period of 10 days. She was very punctual, communicative and attentive, I will for sure trust her with my kitties in a future outing. Thanks Vanessa!”
“Kara was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my Fox Fox while I was away, providing regular updates and ensuring everything was in perfect order. It’s clear she truly loves animals—my pet was happy, well-fed, and even got extra playtime with their favorite toys! Kara’s attention to detail and kindness gave me complete peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!!”

About: I’ve always loved cats and truly enjoy spending time with them. I understand that every cat has a different personality—some are social and playful, while others prefer a quieter approach—and I always let them set the pace. I have experience caring for cats of different ages and temperaments, including feeding, refreshing water, scooping litter boxes, playing with them, giving lots of attention (if they want it!), and administering oral medications when needed. My priority is making sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’ll care for your cat as if they were my own and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone.

“Nicole is a GEM! We feel so lucky to have found her! My wife and I needed someone to let out our two dogs for a potty break and walk our 6 month old Pittie Mix, Theo, at lunch time while we were at work. Right when I met Nicole, I could tell she was warm, kind, genuine, and would take great care of our pups. It can be difficult to find reliable and dependable people, but we could always count on Nicole. She showed up within the timeframe that we asked and kept us updated on how the walks went! I HIGHLY recommend using Nicole!”

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals since I could remember. Been around Great Danes to yorkies and love them all. I also have a cat and dog of my own both I’ve rescue and adore. I’ve also trained my dog, I’ve had her going on 3 years now. I train with positive attitude and treats. I was relied on by family and friends to watch, walk and feed their pets. Occasionally would do some basic training to help keep up and of course cuddles. I currently work full time but it’s from 7-2pm about 4 days a week. I will have time after work and on my off days to spend the rest of the day caring for pets. My pets are friendly with other animals, my dog gets excited when she gets to meet new friends and then goes about her business. I also have a crate for my dog if anything. I try to give the visiting pup a chance to sniff around first and get warmed up before I let my dog meet her. Allows both dogs to calm down and be relax by then.
About: Currently not employed anywhere else so your pet will receive my full time and attention. I love being outside so if walks for your pooch are required, rest easy knowing they will be plenty exercised while you’re away. I’ve had experience with big dogs and small, senior dogs and puppies, adult cats and kittens. I have experience clipping nails and claws and have no problem giving baths if needed. Currently unemployed so my routine is wide open to add a few furry clients. I also have a helper so if more assistance is needed for the animals, I’m capable of handling it Willing to be in the home the entire booked stay. Will follow the feeding and exercise schedule left for me by the owners. Keep pets comfortable and at ease

“We are so grateful for Kathryn! 💕 She has always been so patient with our flight delays and is always willing to take care of Minnie, even at the last minute. She treats Minnie with so much love and kindness, and we can tell our pup feels completely comfortable and happy with her. Communication is always smooth, and she goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. Knowing Minnie is in her care gives us so much peace of mind. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter—she truly feels like part of the family! 🥰”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and understand that pets are family. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I’m patient, dependable, attentive to routines, and skilled at recognizing behavioral changes and individual needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, providing companionship, administering basic medications when instructed, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I have experience providing both in-home pet sitting and boarding dogs in my own home. Before transitioning into the corporate world, I partnered with a friend who owned a successful dog-sitting business, where I cared for pets for approximately six years. During that time, I gained experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and care needs. I’m now excited to return to pet care because it’s something I truly enjoy. I enjoy spending quality time with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone reliable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, and plenty of affection. I’ll communicate with you throughout each visit by sending updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll provide patient, loving, and attentive care while respecting your home and your pet’s boundaries. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure your furry family member feels comfortable, secure, and loved every step of the way.
“Beth was great! She did a wonderful job taking care of Annie! Annie loved the backyard playtime she doesn’t normally get at our house and came home exhausted! Beth did a great job keeping us up to date on how Annie was doing and sending us pictures. She took great care of our puppy. Highly recommended.”
“Thanks so much Dawn and Robert for a great stay and experience. They were so helpful and flexible throughout the process and Frank had a great time. Thanks again!”
“Alexandria is the best. She took care of Star as her own. She even went to the vet to pick up some medications that were needed during the stay. I would go with Alexandria again anytime over anyone else! I cannot say enough good things about her. She clearly loves dogs and goes above and beyond expectations!”
“This was our first time using Rover. We selected Ellen because she had many positive reviews as well as multiple returning clients. We made the right choice selecting Ellen to watch our fur babies. She is extremely accommodating and understanding. Our 2 pups have a number of quirks, but Ellen worked with them and gave them a home away from home. She sent multiple pictures a day and some videos, along with an update of the daily activities. We will absolutely be using Ellen if we go away and need a sitter. I cannot speak any higher of Ellen. Highly recommend! Thanks again Ellen for putting our minds at ease.”
“Maolin was a great caretaker for Nash. We were away on vacation for 10 days and she sent daily photos and videos as well as took Nash to the local dog park to play around. She really seemed to care a great deal for Nash as like she was her own. Would definitely use again and refer her to others!”
“Mary was very friendly and loves all animals. She sent daily updates and included pictures. Thanks for taking such great care of our dog!! Would definitely recommend!”
“Bo is always comfortable and calm with Waffles’ family. Never a shortage of cute photos of the two of them having adventures! They’re our go-to!”
“Our normal dog sitter was going on vacation when we had to leave town. We have a very hard time leaving our pets with just anybody. Both of them are big hunters so we always worry they’re going to get out of the yard or jet out the door. After meeting Sasha and visiting her home, we felt completely safe leaving the dogs with her. She has a fenced in backyard, agility course, and several parks nearby. She treated our dogs just like part of the family! Every single day Sasha sent us pictures of the dogs having a great time playing. Anytime I contacted her she got back with me right away. They even got Pup cups from starbucks. (Sasha texted me ahead of time to make sure it was ok for them to eat them.) When we picked up the girls she left us a lovely note, a picture of each dog, and two cupcakes for dogs. We highly recommend Sasha and are so happy our girls had a good time with her family.”
“Emily was amazing with our Goose! Not only was she able to take him on such a short notice, she was excited about having him stay with her. She sent me daily pictures and updates of Goose playing with her pups and having a fantastic time. Emily’s communication was fantastic and helped ease any anxiety I had about not being able to bring Goose with us on a road trip. I cannot say how thankful I am that Emily was able to watch and care for our dog on such a short notice and during the Thanksgiving week. We definitely will be recommending Emily and booking with her for any future needs. Absolutely amazing, I cannot say it enough.”
“Chad and Cara took great care of my dog! They were flexible to drop-off/pick-up times and quick with communication. They sent a few pictures a day, which always puts a smile on your face. I would definitely use them again.”
“I felt comfortable with Cameo right away and knew my pup was in good hands. I received updates and good reports on how things were going for the week. I would definitely use Cameo again in the future!”
“Kelsey has watched my dog twice now for a week at a time each and has been so great with him! Great communication, daily pics and videos of him and his shenanigans, and just a great experience overall. Thank you!!!”
“Ksenia was wonderful with my dog Scarlet! I was so grateful she was as able to help me out when searching for a dog sitter last minute! Ksenia was a great communicator and sent many updates and photos throughout the weekend. I would highly recommend her & we will certainly be using her again!”
