“I can’t say enough about Kimberly. She is amazing. We did a meet and greet prior to taking Gracie and she was so welcoming, so organized and her house was so dog friendly. Gracie is 15 years old and has never stayed with anyone else. As soon as we met Kimberly we knew she would be in good hands! We got updates and pictures everyday letting us know how Gracie was doing. We will definitely use her again. If you are looking for someone to love your baby as much as you do, Kimberly is the one!”
“Ronald watched my puppy over a busy holiday weekend - not a small feat! He was responsive and sent updates throughout the weekend. Highly appreciated and would definitely recommend Ronald!”
“Archie absolutely loves going to Alycia! He’s always so well taken care of and loved while he’s with her. He felt completely at home—It gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands whenever we go out of town.””
“We love Rebecca! Sent lots of updates and treat our pup with so much love! We had a last minute change in plans and she helped us out so much! He loves the car and she took him out with her and I know he loved it! 100% will use her again!”
“Tricia was great with Edie. She was also very flexible and went above and beyond when our flight got delayed and we had to figure out additional care on the fly. Would recommend!”
“Lauren and Wynn were great! It was our first time for our 13 year old Havanese, who is a little princess. She was well taken care of. I received pics and updates which were great! She was a very happy girl!”
“Nancy has been great with ou senior dog. She makes sure he feels comfortable and safe. Nancy takes him potty often especially because he's a senior dog. She is super flexible and has great communication. Both of her pupps do a great job with Domi as well. We will continue using her as long as she keeps Rovering.”
“Great Communication with Megan & David for my 1st time leaving Jackson with a new Rover sitter. I was even welcomed to do a meet and greet that went well. It left me very comfortable leaving Jackson for 5 nights. I received pictures and updates on how he was adjusting. I have already set up some more stays for some trips I have planned. I highly recommend Megan & David for the care of your dog.”
“Katie was a perfect sitter for Nash! She gave him the attention and love he wanted, a great house to feel comfortable in and he almost didn’t want to leave!”
“Thank you Lisa and John for taking such great care of Buddy! The pictures you shared were priceless showing what a wonderful time he had with your boys and his furry friends! We appreciate you opening your home and providing a loving environment for him. Thank you!”
“Paige, Stephen and family cared for our dog, Duncan, so well! He became part of their family while we were gone and I could tell that Duncan was thriving while with them. He especially loved playing with their kids which helped keep his sense of normalcy compared to our home! Would definitely recommend this family to anyone :)”
“I was very pleased with Roxie’s stay! Stephanie and her family were awesome. They were very considerate and made me feel at ease leaving Roxie in their care. We received lots of communication and photos during our trip. Roxie seemed to have a great time and enjoyed the attention she was given. I would highly recommend Stephanie and hope Roxie can stay again next year when we go on vacation!”
“Katie and her family did an amazing job with my little buddy while I was away on a trip! She was my first ever Rover booking and made it very easy on me leaving my best friend! We will definitely be back :)”

“We are so happy Erin was able to accommodate us for a last minute weekend booking. She sent lots of updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind that our dog was well cared for and happy.”
“Elisheba and her family took Ember in and were very kind. Thank you for the hospitality and the great care at a last minute notice. Ember loved the yard and enjoyed having extra people to play with her, it takes a village!”
“Our dog Rosie hadn’t stayed with a sitter in a couple years and we were apprehensive leaving her for an entire week. Fortunately we found Ryan (and his friendly pup Ellie) who was wonderful and welcoming. Ryan sent us reassuring messages and pictures every day which made us quickly become comfortable leaving Rosie with him. We highly recommend Ryan and plan to call on him again in the future. Thank you Ryan!”

“Christine was super helpful and lovely to work with. Biscuit really loved her and sent lots of pictures while i was away making my first time away with her as pleasant as it could be. thank you!!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Mengshu and Thomas. They took phenomenal care of our cat Gravy while we were out of town. They came by every day and in addition to the usual things like feeding him and changing his litter box, they also spent significant amounts of time with him so he wouldn’t feel lonely and got to play. They sent loads of wonderful pictures that we saved because they were so good! I would also note that they are both just really lovely, kind people. I trust them completely and would recommend anyone hire them to care for the pets!”
“Sara was very sweet and she sent us photos of our babies every day while we were out of town for Thanksgiving. She played with them and kept them company, and kept us up to date every day. Thank you Sara!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Michele made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. She was incredibly helpful, communicated clearly, and sent updates every time she stopped by for a drop-in visit. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our cat was well cared for while we were away. We would absolutely book with Michele again in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Devynne was wonderful taking care of my Jameson. I was so nervous leaving my baby for the first time but she sent lots of videos which helped so much! Would absolutely recommend her.”
“Margo was fantastic! She went above and beyond to make sure my 3 cats were taken care of and that i was able to enjoy my vacation with the peace of mind that everything was being taken care of. She was great with communication and flexible with any changes. I highly recommend her to anyone!”
“This is the second time we have used Stephanie and she always does a great job! I can leave my beloved cat alone for a bit while travelling and know she will be well cared for! Love the report cards and photos so I know she's ok! M”
“I can’t recommend Michelle enough! From our very first interaction, she was professional, communicative, and clearly a true animal lover. She took the time to understand my cat’s routine, quirks, and needs—and it showed. While I was away, Michelle provided detailed updates every visit, complete with photos and sweet little notes about how my cat was doing. It was such a relief to see Bella looking so happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Michelle even went above and beyond by watering my plants and making sure Bella gets fresh air daily. Most importantly, Bella—who is usually shy with new people—became best friends with Michelle. That says everything! I came home to a calm, content kitty and a spotless home. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly caring, look no further than Michelle. I will 100% be booking with her again. Thank you so much!!”
“Andrea did an outstanding job taking care of our cat during our vacation. She communicated regularly and provided frequent updates and pictures too! I know our kitty was well cared for and given lots of love and attention. We highly recommend Andrea!”
“After our first round with Lauren and Wynn, it was the first time in years our elder cat didn’t have a UTI after a sitter. Pictures always show how much our cats enjoy this duo but us not coming home to a sick cat really tells the story. Happy to have this duo caring for our kitties!”
About: I have taken care of dogs on and off all my life different sizes, ages, and personalities. I provide walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and lots of attention to help pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I understand the importance of following each pet’s routine and keeping owners updated. My goal is to give every pet the same care, patience, and affection that I would give my own. I work part time as well as side jobs as I am home from college for the summer. Lots of free time during the day. In clients’ homes, I respect their space while ensuring pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, and care. My goal is to help pets feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while their owners are away.
“Monica is so professional, responsive and trustworthy! We love having her take care of Gadget and Calvin and are so happy with the attention and care she has provided to our sweet pets!”
“Thanks to Julie for taking such good care of our cats! She was able to get our shy cat to come out and play and cuddle. Consistent and above and beyond care for our kitties. Thanks!”
About: While I’m more experienced with dogs than cats, I still have just as big a place in my heart for our feline companions. I’ve had 2 cats in my life, and love a cats more calm, gentle nature as compared to dogs. Their love is more difficult to earn, and some may say that makes it more valuable. Either way, cat parents know there’s a special difference in the way a cat loves us, and it’s something that requires patience and a calm demeanor which is where I thrive as a cat-sitter. Whether you have an energetic and playful kitten, a laid back sunbather, or a nervous scaredy cat who spends most of their time under the bed, I bring intuitive care into your cats space and know how to meet them where they’re at.
About: I have 3 dogs of my own who I love to take care of! I can feed, walk, bathe and most importantly give lots of love!! My schedule is super flexible, so I have lots of time in the mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m working part time this summer so I can spend real time with your pets and give them lots of love instead of rushing :) I have grown up around pets and I genuinely love being around animals. I’m super comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I like getting to know each pet’s personality!! whether they’re playful and energetic or more calm and cuddly. I’m patient, responsible, and I always try my hardest to follow instructions exactly how they’re given.

“Rebecca and her husband were wonderful! I immediately felt comfortable in there home! Jackz our dog is blind and Rebecca was not only willing but happy to help us and Jackz out!”
About: We have watched many pets over the years and are finally bringing our love to the masses. :) We truly love all animals (every where we have lived animals indoor/outdoor just flock to us it seems ha). We give them the care they deserve and treat every last one as if it were our own personal pet. We have also had several pets through the years that needed medical attention daily (generally giving medication) and understand the importance of maintaining medicine/medical care in a very timely manner. If you are looking for the best care for your pet, look no further this family of pet lovers is where its at. We took a little time off to focus on some other things but we are back at it and ready to love and care for your pet better than anyone on this app 😀♥️ (we might be biased). I work from home full time so I am here almost 24 hrs/day to care for your lovely pet. On the weekends we come and go for short periods of time but generally we are home 80% of the weekend at least. We welcome long and short term pet stays, we just love pets. I have kids who "LOVE" to entertain/give attention to pets and try to teach them new tricks. I have several nearby dog parks, and 1 dog of my own. I have a Black Lab/Great Dane mix about 5 yrs old. He loves having other pets around after he get his sniffs in :)
About: Hi! I’m Margo — a lifelong animal lover who’s been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. I grew up with two poodles and two labradors, and I’ve learned how to care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I currently have a cat and even a donkey, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of animals — big, small, furry, or hooved! Friends and family have always relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets when they’re away. I’m responsible, patient, and love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel loved and cared for like my own. I’m a lifelong animal lover and part-time social worker who often works from home. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets the time, care, and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in their home, I treat the space with the same respect I would want for my own. I follow all instructions carefully, keep things tidy, and make sure pets feel safe and loved. I take time to earn their trust with gentle attention, routine, and comfort.
“This will be the third week in a row that my Roxxie will be attending doggy day care with her two new dog friends in Nancy’s home. It’s so amazing that I can go to work and not have to worry at all if my dogs being well cared for. Nancy is the best!”
“Ryan was wonderful with my two dachshunds. Boarded them during the day while we had workers installing new carpet. Sent pics and videos so I had no worries. They came home tired and happy. Would hire Ryan again.”
“We enjoyed meeting Jonathan! We left Scotty with him while we attended a concert. He is quick to respond to texts and we appreciated his flexibility around not knowing exactly when we could get back. We would happily use Jonathan again to care for our dogs!”
“Dottie goes to Emma’s all day, 3 days a week and just loves it! She gets so excited as soon as we pull in the driveway! Emma is responsive, helpful, kind, gentle and great with my little dog!”
“Lisa and John were great! It was a very last-minute booking and they were incredibly accommodating. I felt very comfortable from the jump leaving Lola with them. They helped her get adjusted and she came home absolutely wiped! I will definitely be booking again.”
“Jen & Rob took such great care of my dog for day care weekly. He always came home happy, healthy, and exhausted (thank god, he is a high energy Aussie and needed to expel that energy!). Thank you, Jen & Rob for being a safe place for me to bring my dog!”
“Jenny and her family were amazing!! They took care of my dog like he was their own. He had so much fun and didn’t want to leave. Jenny also sent me awesome pictures of all the fun he was having. Thank you so much!”
About: What sets us apart is the genuine care and experience we bring to every dog we welcome into our home. My husband and I both grew up with dogs, and before having our daughter, we fostered dogs, which gave us experience with a wide range of personalities, temperaments, and needs. We currently have a friendly 2-year-old lab mix, so we’re very familiar with maintaining routines, exercise needs, and positive reinforcement. One of our biggest strengths is working with anxious or shy dogs—we’re patient, attentive, and take the time to build trust at each dog’s pace so they feel safe and comfortable. We treat every dog like part of our family and strive to create a calm, loving environment where they can relax and be themselves. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I work from home Monday–Friday. Your dog will have consistent companionship throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long periods. During the day, dogs are free to relax, play, and interact with our friendly 2-year-old lab mix. We also incorporate daily walks and outdoor playtime (weather permitting), along with plenty of attention, affection, and structured routine. Because I’m home, I’m able to closely monitor each dog’s needs and adjust care to ensure they feel comfortable, engaged, and right at home. Then when my husband and daughter are not in work or school they will help care for your dogs and play with them. In our home, we strive to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every dog in our care. We have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play, explore, and get plenty of exercise in a secure space. Inside, dogs are treated like part of the family—free to relax, play, and enjoy a calm, structured routine. We can accommodate crate training if your dog is used to it or needs a safe space while we’re briefly away from home. We pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s extra playtime, a quieter environment, or a consistent routine, so they feel secure and at home during their stay.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities for family, friends, and anyone who needed a helping hand. In addition to pet sitting, I’ve also fostered dogs, which has taught me patience, flexibility, and how to help pups adjust to new environments. Every dog deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood, and I’ll care for your pet the same way I would my own I have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to adjust to their routine. My partner and I are both very active, so if you have a high-energy dog, we’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and love while you’re away. We are also currently a pet free home which guarantees your pup will come first, and reduce any fear of conflict. While we live in an apartment, it’s a very dog-friendly community with lots of green space, walking trails, and nature nearby, making it a great place for daily walks and outdoor time. I always prioritize your dog’s safety by following their routine, keeping a close eye on them, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure. I’m happy to accommodate crates, medications, special feeding schedules, or any other care your pup needs. My goal is to make them feel right at home and give you peace of mind while you’re away.
“My puppy enjoyed the day playing with Brandon and his friendly pets. Brandon was reliable, responsive, worked well with my puppy’s energy level, and sent me a lot of updates during the day. We will be back.”
About: I am a huge animal lover! I currently have an 12 year old Goldendoodle named Stella. I have had dogs my whole life and can’t imagine ever being without one! I love taking Stella to dog parks, going for walks, or hanging out around town. I would love to do the same with any dog that I would be watching! Stella also loves to be around other dogs and has never been aggressive in any way. I would be happy to accommodate any special needs your fur baby may have! I do have my 3 year old son and 5 month old daughter in the home as well, so the pups will need to be kid friendly! We now live in the Eastgate area, so if you have been a previous client, the address has changed! I am happy to answer any questions you may have! I am currently working from home 2 days a week and in office three days. I am completely free on weekends as well and most holidays. I have a fully fenced in yard and lots of fun toys! Stella loves to play with other dogs. She is 12, but still has her puppy spirit!
About: My wife and I grew up with dogs for pets and we had dogs for years when we were first married. We have plenty of experience and are familiar with what is required to care for dogs. Someone is always home. My wife stays home with the kids so we are available for boarding your hound(s)! We can be available for one night or long term. Our family is always around. We have 6 dog-loving kids. A big yard and lots of nearby sidewalk for long family walks. We have one sweet, little pup of our own. She is a Lhasa Apso who loves to have company; human or canine.
About: Ever since I was a child, my family has shared a deep love for dogs. I cared for my energetic Cocker Spaniel until I was 19 years old. In his later years, he developed heart disease and required daily medication, extra attention, and lots of patience. Caring for him taught me how important consistency, compassion, and attentiveness are when looking after a pet. After I moved out, my husband and I chose a spacious apartment with a beautiful lake view and welcomed two wonderful pets, Lucy and Jax, into our family. They are friendly, social, and love meeting other dogs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Pets are always supervised or safely separated when needed, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love and attention I give my own. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll care for yours as if they were my own. I’m currently working from home full-time and have plenty of daytime to be attentive to your fur babies. Plenty of time for walks. Fenced in dog park with large and small dog areas very close- small and empty. Also very large back yard and property on lake for plenty of walking space and long trails.
“Susan was very helpful with both our meet and greet and the daycare. We were able to meet the house dog gang and see that Mandy was able to socialize and play. She came home happy and tired.”
“Jihting was excellent. Met her & family, including Cupcake, beforehand & she was very understanding of our needs, ensured we knew who would be around, that there would be water, playtime, etc. Would recommend & will use again for Ollie's daycare needs.”

“Christine is absolutely wonderful. She has helped me so much with my German Shepherd, Frank! She walks him everyday. She has even made herself available last minute when I have been stuck at work and couldn’t get home to my boy, life saver! I highly recommend if you want someone caring and trustworthy to take care of your fur babies!”
“I haven’t used Rover in probably 10 years. I was hesitant to go back to it because you never know who’s going to be taking care of your dogs. I just finished my first week having Andrea walk the dogs and I can’t begin to explain how highly I would recommend her. From the pictures and updates she’s sending, to going above and beyond making sure I know that she’s walking the dogs the full-time. I’m just hoping she doesn’t stop doing this anytime soon because she is amazing!”
About: I have 3 dogs of my own who I love to take care of! I can feed, walk, bathe and most importantly give lots of love!! My schedule is super flexible, so I have lots of time in the mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends.

“We have been working with Michelle for a couple of months. She is super reliable, always on time, and communicates super well. My dog Otto leaves a 5 paw review for her as well, saying she is super friendly attentive, and always gives him treats post walk. If you want someone to treat your pet like family would definitely recommend working with Michelle!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with cats, and now I have a dog who’s truly part of my family. Since I was 10 years old, I’ve also been the go-to pet sitter for my neighbors whenever they go out of town, making sure their dogs are walked, fed, and, most importantly, loved while they’re away. Being around animals has always brought me so much joy, and I take pride in treating every pet like they’re my own, giving them the care, comfort, and attention they deserve. I will be nannying over the summer on some Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays until around 4 pm so on the days that I am nannying I will be free any time after 4. But on other days I will be free all day long. Whether it’s taking your dog for a walk, letting them out for a potty break, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I’d be happy to help keep them happy while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I treat them like part of my own family. I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and happy by sticking to their usual routine, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, or just some extra snuggles. I know how important it is for pets to feel secure in their own space, so I always give them plenty of love and attention while keeping your home just the way you left it.
“Our family, and especially Maverick and Goose appreciate your attention to weather conditions and everything else you consider for their well being when you take care of them. Thank you!”
“Margo was amazing walking our 3 dogs. Very friendly and communicative. I really appreciated the pictures and proactive communication. We will absolutely use Margo again!”
About: I have had 7 cats over the past 15 years, including one that was blind. I currently have 3 cats that are all spoiled rotten. I have a lot of flexibility on the weekends and could check in multiple times during the day. Weekday evenings are best, normally 5pm and after. Since I have 3 cats, I would not be able to watch other pets in my home. I will happily travel to your home and spend time with your pet.

About: I worked as a Veterinary Assistant for over 20 years and just recently decided to stay home with my kids full time. Pet sitting has always been something I’ve done on the side for family and friends, but now that I have more time available, I’m very excited to be able to love and care for your fur babies just like they were my own! I am currently available for daily walks and 2 potty breaks per day, and of course PLAY TIME! I also offer drop in services if you do not feel your pet needs a walk or additional exercise. I am available for any and all of your pet care needs, and with 20 yrs of previous veterinary experience, I am also comfortable giving both oral medications and injectables for diabetic patients. I love being around all animals because they provide a great sense of calm and familiarity for me. I always treat a client’s pet just as I would my own and they will receive endless love & attention while in my care. I do work part time during the week and have two young boys at home- while we are a very active family, I can usually carve out time even on work days for drop in visits or walks.
About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I currently pet sit for 6–7 different families, with dogs ranging from 8-week-old puppies to 14-year-old seniors. I also regularly help care for my sister’s dogs and have a German Shepherd of my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently on summer break from the University of Cincinnati, so I have a very flexible schedule. I also work a part-time remote job, which allows me to be home throughout the day and gives me plenty of availability for pet care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, feeding, playtime, or overnight stays, I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine and make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and bedtime so pets feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise, and I keep the home clean and tidy. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pets and their owners.
About: I've had pets as long as I can remember. I have 2 Great Danes..a bully mix and two cats at the moment. My most recent job was at a local dog boarding/daycare facility. I also foster through Cincinnati Animal Care. I'm currently a stay at home mom with pretty much an open availability. I can make myself available morning..noon and night. Almost any day of the week I would be available as well. I provide your pet with lots of attention and pets if that's what they're into. Whether it's staying at home and relaxing...going for walks or tug of war with the rope in the back yard..I'll make sure they're happy!
About: I've had household pets my whole life and began to own and care for my own pets when I was around 10. I've loved and cared for fish, hamsters, and frogs over the years. Currently I care for a leopard gecko, a bearded dragon, and several hermit crabs, in addition to helping my family care for our dog and cat! I have experience pet-sitting guinea pigs and walking neighbors' dogs, and have also volunteered in an animal shelter for cats and small mammals where I cleaned cages, groomed, and socialized the animals. I'm a college student (majoring in bio!) who's home over the summer with a part-time job. My availability is variable but flexible, so please reach out with what dates and times you need a service and I'll respond quickly! When it comes taking care of / walking your pet(s), I'll adhere to your directions / all the information I'll receive from you before beginning the job, and remain communicative with you over the course the service.
About: I am a very passionate, attentive, and empathetic person when it comes to any and all animals! For many years I have taken sole care of both dogs and cats of all different breeds, and am well experienced in all general pet care to include special needs pets. All of the dogs I ever had as a kid were trained as puppies almost solely by myself and my brothers. My mom used to make me read books and do online research about the breed of dog we had, different training techniques, K9 first-aid, and so much more. Being as passionate as I am about animals, those studies were well retained, and while I don't have professional experience, the knowledge gained from doing it on my own with 9 different dogs over my lifetime have graced me with at the very least, an in depth knowledge of all different stages of dog ownership. This knowledge was also accentuated professionally as I worked alongside military police K9 handlers during my time in the Air Force. Not to worry though, I mix structure, routine, and discipline with plenty of tender loving care, and know how to tune my approach to dogs of all temperaments. In regards to puppies: I have experience potty training, leash training, crate training, and what I would call experienced but moderate obedience training skills. I know how to deal with things like food aggression, how to properly establish the "hierarchy" or "pack mentality" and other conditioning behaviors. As well as handling young puppies, I've even assisted a momma in giving birth to a new litter, and taking special care of a brand new litter of 7 pups! So my experience with all dogs truly does begin at birth and goes all the way to end of life care. For the old timers: The couch potatoes in our lives need just as much, and sometimes even more care than their energetic and young counterparts. I have experience with things like giving medication and shots, managing specialty diets, and a number of other age specific needs. I'm very patient and am willing to take the time to get to know your pet and what they need. Every animal has a different personality and needs attention in different ways, and I'm very attentive to that! I will always treat your pet as if they were my own, and will to the best of my ability make sure that your pet is well taken care of at all times. I'm a full-time nomad and side gigs are my primary source of income. Pet care IS my weekly routine. I'm available and more than happy to abide by the normal 9-5 schedule for daytime pet care, but I can also easily adjust to fit any alternate schedule; whether you need overnight pet care, or any other odd schedule constraints met, I am available. I have lived with my own dog in a variety of different conditions. From being on our own in both houses and apartments, to having a full house of dogs and cats. I am well versed in any additional responsibilities and special care based on living situations, and have no trouble go up and down a few flights of stairs for potty breaks/walks, etc.
“Lauren and Wynn are the best. Great communication, with lots of pics, friendly, and knowledgeable. Flexible and accommodating. Will definitely ask them to care for our pupper again!”

About: I've cared for dogs, cats, fish, and small animals for 20 years. I am also a reptile owner and comfortable caring for some reptiles and amphibians. I am currently available full time for pet care, regarding pet sitting or daily walks. I am also able to care for and feed some reptiles and most amphibians. I much prefer to care for animals in their own home. I feel it is less stress on the animal and more comfortable for them.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities for family, friends, and anyone who needed a helping hand. In addition to pet sitting, I’ve also fostered dogs, which has taught me patience, flexibility, and how to help pups adjust to new environments. Every dog deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood, and I’ll care for your pet the same way I would my own I have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to adjust to their routine. My partner and I are both very active, so if you have a high-energy dog, we’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and love while you’re away. We are also currently a pet free home which guarantees your pup will come first, and reduce any fear of conflict. While we live in an apartment, it’s a very dog-friendly community with lots of green space, walking trails, and nature nearby, making it a great place for daily walks and outdoor time. I always prioritize your dog’s safety by following their routine, keeping a close eye on them, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure. I’m happy to accommodate crates, medications, special feeding schedules, or any other care your pup needs. My goal is to make them feel right at home and give you peace of mind while you’re away.
“Excellent stay with Jennifer and Robert! Very friendly, easy to communicate with, and felt comfortable leaving Willow with them. I will definitely be using them again.”
“Finn left Holly’s worn out and with a new best friend! Getting pictures of Finn and Millie together made us feel so happy knowing he was having a good time while we were away. We will definitely be using Holly again!”
“Jenny is great! My dog had a blast with her and her family over thanksgiving and I love all the adorable photo updates. She is knocked out asleep from all the fun she had. Will book again!”
