Personalized care for your dog or cat - Bairdford
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Bairdford
“Laura and her husband's love for dogs shines through in everything they do. They truly treated my dog as if it was their own. My pup had a minor medical issue (nothing to do with their care) and they made sure he got prompt care and expertly administered his medication. I loved the frequent photo and video updates. They rival some of the professional photos I've had taken! Will use again!”
“Couldn’t be more complementary about Lindsay and her family other than to say that they made Rusty feel like another part of their family. They welcomed him with open arms knowing he had counter surfing issues and separation anxiety. From the photos she sent, it is evident that Rusty enjoyed his stay.”
“We were so comfortable leaving Chimay with Erin. I hope Bob didn’t hover too much at drop off, he is less experienced at that and can get protective. We hope all went well while she was there, it looked like she fit in from the pictures.”
“I am so glad I found a great sitter, Stacey through Rover. My German Shepherd, Xavier had a good time at her house. Very professional, a lot of dog experiences especially large breed dogs. My dog enjoyed walking off leash with her at her huge property. We booked again already for our vacation next month. Thank you so much and see you soon!”
“Bree is great! She took wonderful care of our two dogs, kept us updated with photos and messages, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
“Alex is a fantastic sitter. She sent me lots of photos of Hank during my trip, and when circumstances held me up for an extra day, she was willing to extend the booking. I can feel confident leaving Hank with her, knowing that he will be in good hands, and I highly recommend Alex to any pet parent.”
“Cheryl provided loving, thorough care to our spoiled 4 year old shishon! She sent pictures and videos and was very easy to coordinate with throughout the process. It definitely gave us peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our time away knowing he was in a safe, cuddly environment!”
“Coralee and her family took great care of Bear. Her dogs are very playful and friendly. It was so nice getting updates everyday and seeing how happy he was playing with them all day. I will definitely be calling Coralee next time we go out of town. I’m sure Bear will be very excited to go back!”
“Mary and her family were great! We had absolutely no worries leaving our dog with them for the weekend. Mary sent updates and pictures throughout the weekend, keeping us posted on how great it was going! Definitely going to rebook!”
“Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.”
“Colette and her family are super dependable and our dog (who hates traveling in my wife's car, associated with long family trips and vet visits) actually loves going to their house for a stay (this trip is almost always in my car). So thankful for getting to know this family and for their care for Faith.”
“Emily and Patrick were great sitters for Nola while we were away attending a wedding. They sent multiple pictures and video updates for us, and Nola had a great time playing with Eli! Thank you so much 😊”
“Thank you to Sharon for taking good care of our Jack Russell terrier! Our pup came home tired, so I know she had been well-exercised and entertained. We appreciated the thoughtful photos and updates throughout our trip.”
About: Although we’re new to Rover, we’ve owned dogs our whole lives and understand that every dog is different. Some want to play nonstop, others just want someone nearby while they nap. Our family (including our two daughters) are all dog lovers, so visiting dogs become part of the family while they’re here. We’re happy to adjust to whatever helps your dog feel comfortable and stick to the routine they’re used to. I (Keith) work from home several days each week, so pet care fits naturally into my schedule. Morning walks, yard time, potty breaks, meals, and playtime are already part of my day with my own dog, so adding another four-legged friend feels pretty normal. My wife (Leigh) is home in the evenings and on the weekends so we both get to give our dog and visiting dogs a lot of attention and love. We keep our availability realistic so every dog gets the time and attention they deserve. We have a fully fenced backyard and live in a quiet neighborhood that’s great for walks. Our own dog is friendly, but we don’t assume every dog wants an instant playmate, so introductions are always slow and supervised. If your dog needs their own space, that’s not a problem. We’ll follow your feeding schedule, medications, and any instructions you leave so their stay is as close to home as possible.
“Regina did an amazing job. Wheezie is high energy with separation anxiety. She sent me lots of pictures and when I picked her up I could tell she was happy and well taken care of. I have health problems and she was able to take her last minute and showed her the care I am very happy with. I need not look anywhere else from now on any time I need to board her we will go straight to Regina!”
“Annette was lovely and caring to both Gustavo and me. Delays in flights meant I was 7 hours late in getting to Gus. Annette graciously dealt with this inconvenience. She was always quick to respond to communications. Most importantly, Gus clearly felt at home and welcomed from the minute she greeted him. When I picked him up, he was clearly comfortable with Annette. Thank you.”
“I feel so fortunate to have found Tyler to care for my very active and rambunctious 9- month old golden retriever. Tyler is very dog savvy and understood the challenges he had. He walked my dog several times a day meeting new people and dogs. Just the kind of socialization a young dog needs. I loved the daily updates and pictures Tyler sent. My dog seemed to be having such a good time, I doubt he missed me at all.”

Cat caregivers near you - Bairdford
“This is the second time Jennifer has watched my cats and she is just the best! She brought in our mail, took out the trash without even being asked, feeds the fish, and spends time with the cats rather than ducking out early. We appreciate her!”
“This is my second time having Joanna look after our cats while we were away. I love how she sent pictures and gave updates every time she visited. It helped us feel at ease knowing she was checking in on them. Would definitely use her again!”
“Jada did an amazing job taking care of my two cats. I loved knowing that they had a reliable person stopping by everyday to not only feed them,but also play with them. I really appreciated getting the daily pictures and updates. I would recommend her to others.”
“We hired Kelsey to care for our elderly cat who requires medicine 2x a day while going out of town. Our cat is very shy but took to Kelsey very quickly. She was punctual, meticulous, and went above and beyond to provide outstanding care for our sweet guy. She played with him, took outstanding notes, followed up with updates and pics, and ensured he got everything he needed. We would hire her again with no question. Highly recommend her.”
“Kate was wonderful! Very communicative, flexible, and went above and beyond in sending me a picture of a travel document I’d forgotten before my trip. My cat, Phil, seems to really like her (and he’s a picky dude). Thanks, Kate!”
“Stephanie is absolutely wonderful with our cat Cocoa! She was willing to work with our hectic schedule and and is so nice and accommodating. She also sends pictures and updates throughout her visit with our cat. I would recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for pet care. She’s the best!!”
About: As a cat owner myself, I understand that cats thrive on routine and trust. Some cats want constant attention, while others prefer quiet companionship and space. I take the time to learn each cat’s personality and provide care that helps them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for cats of all ages and temperaments, including administering medications, maintaining litter boxes, monitoring eating and drinking habits, and recognizing subtle behavioral changes that may indicate stress or illness. I even rescued 4 feral kittens last year! One of my own cats underwent an intense operation this year in which I was in charge of rehabbing. My veterinary experience has taught me the importance of paying attention to details that others may overlook. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and independent, they’ll receive attentive care, patience, and plenty of updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.
“Meagan was great! We were flexible about times, but she always came when she said she was going to and gave detailed summaries after each visit. We could see her playing with Louie on the outdoor camera, and he looked like he really enjoyed her company. She took great care of our buddy while we were out of town and we couldn’t be happier!”
“Abigail is great! Our young Chihuahua (also named Abigail) is very leery of new people. Abigail took the time to get to know her and build trust. To us that is priceless. Our dog also has Addison's disease, and it is comforting to know Abigail is a nurse and comfortable giving her needed daily meds. We highly recommend her even if it means sharing her with others. You won't regret choosing her to care for your beloved pets.”
“Brian is very responsive, kind and reliable. Having cats of his own, I felt very comfortable with him taking good care of ours. It makes traveling less stressful having to not worry about our pets.”
“Megan was amazing.... she fed my cats while we were away in Florida. She even brought in our mail for us. We loved the picture she sent us and knowing that our cats were fed & happy.”
“I’ve used Kelly a few times now and couldn’t be more happy. It’s nice to know someone takes care of your pets just like you would, when you’re not able to be with them. I feel much better knowing they are well taken care of. My cats have some medical needs and Kelly has handled them with ease. Kelly is incredibly responsive, gives great updates and answers any questions I have. My cats enjoy all the love and attention they get from Kelly and her girls and are well taken care of every time I come home! I will definitely use her again.”
“Lindsay did an awesome job checking in on my cat while I was away on vacation. She sent great pictures and videos and helped ensure my cat was well taken care of in my absence. Highly recommend her for your pet care needs!”
About: I have experience caring for cats of different ages and personalities. I’m comfortable feeding them, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playing with them, administering basic care, and recognizing signs that they may be stressed or unwell.
“I booked Sarah through Rover to check in on my pets while I was on vacation, and she was amazing! She visited daily, walked Yogi three times a day, and made sure Luna was happy and cared for. I loved getting picture updates, and she contacted me right away with any concerns. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were well cared for, which let me really enjoy my trip. Highly recommend!”
About: I've had animals since I was a teenager, always responsible for taking care of them... I'm that person at a party that would rather hang out with the pet rather than the people. I currently stay home and help take care of my 90 year old father in law. I've got plenty of time during my day to get out and care for some critters! Depending on what the client wants, I will adhere to their preferences... Letting them run around a fenced in yard, throwing toys, walking on a leash is all fine with me. It's whatever the client prefers.
About: From a young age, I’ve had a deep love for dogs, and as an adult pet parent, I truly understand how stressful it can be to leave your companion in someone else’s care. It’s natural to feel anxious about whether your pet will be safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. My goal is to exceed your expectations by providing attentive, dependable, and loving care tailored to your pet’s unique needs. I’m an avid hiker who loves being outdoors—whether that means long walks, neighborhood strolls, or playtime with your pup. I have experience with home stays for senior dogs, caring for cats, and training and supporting young puppies, including reinforcing routines and basic training. Please note: due to a cat allergy, I am only able to accept cats for drop-in visits. I’m passionate, professional, and genuinely excited to meet you and your dog. I look forward to providing care you can feel confident about. I am home full time so I am able to give your pup all the attention it needs! I have my own dog who gets cuddled, played with, and walked daily. I would provide for your dog whether it is a drop- in visit, walk, or house sitting. I promise he/she will get the attention it deserves. I am used to letting dogs out every2-4 hours if needed. I also love making trips to the local dog park should you feel comfortable with that! Let me know all of your pets favorite things and preferences! Do they prefer a walk where they can sniff to their heart's content, or a hike on the trail ? Do they love playing tug or belly rubs, or both ? I truly provide tailored care to your pet.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Bairdford
“I have a senior and a Chihuahua and I have never left them with anyone: Tony and Maria put me at ease immediately at our first meeting as they are very gentle people who clearly care. I love that they “get” Chihuahuas and that they have so much experience. Our first visit was fun for my dogs as was evident in the pictures Maria sent! I am so grateful to have found them and look forward to having them take care of my dogs when I am away.”
“Laura is incredible. My dog is fairly obsessed with both Laura and her husband and I have full confidence she is well loved and cared for when she's at Laura's. All the stars!”
“Millie stayed with Greg a few time days now. Some were full days some were half days! He was great about sending pics and taking care of Millie. They did 2 walks every time. He was very accommodating with my hours of need. I would highly recommend him.”
“Adrienne is awesome and straight up THE BEST! She is super dedicated, very professional, and easy/very reliable regarding communication. I can’t recommend her highly enough, and I have zero hesitation leaving my Lily with her.”
“Melissa was amazing. Jake and I received an amazingly warm welcome when dropping off. My dog has anxiety issues and Melissa and her crew were wonderful. They took Jake on walks, took him to the park and he was so happy. Truly one of the best experiences Jake and I have had. So incredibly wonderful.”
“Such a lovely woman. Sami and Bleu must have had a wonderful time. They had lots of playmates….wore them out. They have been sleeping since we left. I will definitely get in touch again. Thank you so much Regina.”
“Val is an absolutely incredible dog sitter and we are so lucky to have found her. She is very flexible and communicative with us on dates and times. And most importantly, she is so so amazing with our dog Wilson. He is so excited to go over there every time and she sends so many pictures and videos which are our favorite part! They do so many different activities and Wilson loves her son so much! Cannot rave enough, thank you and see you soon!!”
“This was my dog's first day at dog day care and it was only for a couple hours just to try it out. But everything went very well. Chang updated me with pictures shortly after dropping my dog off to assure me he was doing well. When I picked him up he was happy to see me but also seemed like he would have followed Chang back to her house if she wanted him to. So that was very comforting to see that he liked her. I will be a repeat customer.”
“Dana was fantastic! She and her pups were great with our dog, making sure our Ziggy got plenty of playtime. Oh, and she was able take Ziggy on Thanksgiving Day, which was a huge plus. Will contact next time we're in town. Highly recommend! ”
About: I’ve owned, trained, and taken care of dogs for 26 years. I’ve had a Dachshund, Beagles, Rottweiler, and have fostered - and trained - a German Shepard, two Pit bulls, Husky, and currently a Penkingese. The German Shepard came to me from a friend who was rescuing him but couldn’t train him properly so I spent almost 2 months with him - trained him how to walk properly on a leash, stop nipping, and to become a follower rather then a pack leader. I then returned him to my friend (who I can give contact info so you can ask directly) who still has him to this day. My Rottweiler was the first dog that I had living on my own and within a month she was potty and crate trained, I trained her to walk properly OFF the leash, and even trained her to only sit in one specific spot in the car (passenger side backseat). She unfortunately passed away before my kids were born and it wasn’t fair to adopt dogs with the zero free time babies give you. My kids are now older and since I work from home, I’m excited to have dogs back around. Everyone (including dogs) that enters my home is treated like family. I’m a very hands on parent and that translates to all levels of care - whether it’s a pet or kid. I personally walk twice a day (typically by myself) so your dogs will be engaged and exercised. If you have any questions, feel free to ask - I’m very big on transparency. I work full time from home but own my own business. Due to this, I don’t have a fixed schedule or designated breaks or lunches, I can start and stop whenever I want or need to. Your dogs will never be interrupting or waiting on me for whatever they might need. I have a home with a good sized yard. Since I’m home 99.9% of the time, there really is no need to crate (unless for whatever reason you require that for sleeping or some other situation). They can sleep with me and sit on furniture (again unless you don’t want that due to the rules in your home and those rules will be followed and respected here). I’m home throughout the entire day as I work from home. He/she will be engaged & never alone while here. We also have a young dog who is sweet with all. We have long leashes and a fairly private yard, are frequently outside and would never leave them unattended. We treat all those who enter just as family.
About: I have been dog sitting for friends for 15years. I have experience with all types of dogs from French Bulldogs to German Shepherds to King Charles Cavaliers. I treat each dog like they were my own and give them the best care possible while their owners are away. I also have experience dealing with smaller dogs that are aggressive with other dogs I work full time from home so I am able to give the dog any attention it needs and will be able to take them outside frequently. I will treat your pet like it is my own whlie they are with me. I have no issues with the dog sitting on furniture or sleeping on the bed. I will request that you provide a crate for when I have to leave the home
About: I’ve taken care of pets for friends and family since I was a kid. I love all animals, especially dogs and cats. I can’t walk past a dog on the street without asking politely to pet them! Two years ago I rescued my dog, Stanley, who is a 24 lb terrier mix. He was abused and took a very long time to warm up, but after a lot of patience and love he’s now thriving and the best boy. I learned a lot with Stanley and feel equipped to work with shyer dogs. Stanley also likes hanging out with other dogs and would enjoy some company around the house! BOARDING NOTE: for the safety of my dog, your dog, and my home, I only accept boarding requests for dogs that are crate trained. Thank you for understanding! I currently work from home full time, so my availability is flexible. Stanley and I would be happy to have you hang out with us at my place (I’d recommend a meet and greet first). I live close to a nature trail that I take Stanley on daily, and we’re very familiar with the neighborhood. I can take frequent walk breaks and crate your pet.
“Evan and Courtney took great care of our dog when she was with them for a day. Our dog spent the day running around with Murphy and came home tired and ready to nap 😃 we highly recommend them for anyone seeking pet care services!”
“Mimo had such an amazing time with Liz and her family! Upon meeting, I immediately felt relieved leaving Mimo with her. Liz is very experienced with all types of dogs and was very attentive to Mimo when interacting with other dogs at daycare. She asked about Mimo’s quirks and dislikes upon booking which showed her understanding in the different personalities in dogs. Mimo loved them and can’t wait to see them again. Thank you Liz!”

“Jada is so accommodating with my mini bernedoodle! She takes him for walks weekly and he always comes back happy! She even took care of him and stayed with him a little longer when he wasn’t feeling good. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Briauna has been such a blessing to me and my pup! She has gone above and beyond to help me with not only walks but taking time to walk to my apartments management to get her own key working and being so easy going with a couple changes as I just moved to a new residence. It is the biggest relief for me to feel I have someone extremely kind and caring showing up daily to help my pup get his walks and potty while I am working and unable to give him as much time outside as I would like. I am very picky about who cares for him and enters the house and I can tell you I am very grateful to have Briauna to help us! Couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: I’ve had hands on experience with animals my whole life, I have experienced feeding, walking, grooming, exercise. Monitoring their health in a safe loving environment. Dog walking fits well into my schedule because I work part-time, which gives me flexibility to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend walks. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure I arrive on time and can give each dog the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. If I have any scheduling conflicts, I communicate with owners in advance. I understand that trust is essential when caring for someone’s pet and home. I treat every home with respect and follow care instructions exactly as provided. I make safety my top priority by keeping doors and gates secure, supervising pets, avoiding unsafe situations during dog walks and ensuring they always have fresh food, water and a clean environment.
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. I have looked after dogs of all sizes. I thoroughly enjoy the presence of puppies and have had the pleasure of training puppies, caring for elder dogs, and everything in between I am a recent graduate looking to keep busy by fulfilling a passion of mine. I am currently in the process of a gap year as I plan on pursuing a graduate degree in the future. Therefore, I have pretty open availability at the moment. I cannot offer a stay at my current residence, but I am open house sitting, daily check ins, walks, or anything else to make fulfill your pets needs.
About: I am a 19-year-old animal lover with over 6 years of pet-sitting experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. My passion for animals started at a young age, and beginning at 13, I regularly walked dogs for several neighbors. Through pet sitting, I have gained experience with animals of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to horses and farm animals. I am dedicated to providing reliable, attentive care and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. 🐾 I currently work part-time at my family’s coffee shop, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I am often available for early morning visits before work, midday visits after my morning shift (typically around noon), and evening care as needed. I am reliable, responsible, and happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that meets their pets’ needs. I also have a friendly bulldog who loves meeting new people and dogs. If your dog enjoys socializing and you’re comfortable with it, I can bring her along for company during visits. Of course, your pet’s comfort and preferences always come first, and I will only do this with your permission.
About: I grew up in a home full of animals, including dogs, cats, and birds, so caring for pets has been a big part of my life from an early age. Over the years I’ve developed a calm, patient l approach to training and have successfully worked on manners and basic cues with every pet I’ve owned. I recently finished my master’s degree at Carnegie Mellon University and now work in the entertainment industry, which gives me a flexible, creative schedule and a strong sense of responsibility and communication. I share my life with a 3‑year‑old beagle named Patti LuPup, and we love spending time in nature together exploring trails and parks. Because I’m so used to reading different animal personalities, I’m comfortable with shy, energetic, or quirky pets and always focus on making them feel safe, engaged, and loved. Whether it’s a leisurely walk, active playtime, or quiet company, I’ll treat your pet like part of my own family. I am currently in between work after finishing my masters program, so my availability is flexible as I am working freelance at the moment. I am very happy to coordinate to best service you! I have a calm beagle of my own, and we have a large fenced in yard. Many parks are close by with trails and dog parks.
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover who has been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with a yellow lab, so I’m very familiar with the daily routines, energy, and love that dogs need. Since then, I’ve also spent a lot of time around friends’ and family members’ dogs, helping out with walks, playtime, feeding, and giving them attention. I work full-time as a nurse, but my schedule is only three days a week, which gives me four full days during the week and weekends to dedicate to pet care. On my days off, I have the time and flexibility to provide reliable walks, drop-ins, playtime, and lots of attention to make sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a townhome complex, so I believe the best setup is caring for dogs in their own familiar environment through drop-in visits or picking them up for walks throughout the day. This allows your dog to stay in their normal routine while getting safe, attentive, and loving care.
About: I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals and have experience with everything from dogs and cats to horses, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small animals. Animals have always been a central part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. Professionally, I worked at Hagyard Equine Medical Institute, one of the nation’s leading veterinary hospitals, where I gained hands-on experience supporting animal health and recognizing changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, and overall wellness. I also helped train dogs through Wildcat Service Dogs, which taught me how to work with dogs of different temperaments, reinforce training, and build trust through consistency and positive interactions. In addition to my animal experience, my healthcare background has made me highly dependable, detail-oriented, and attentive to safety. Whether your pet needs a long walk, medication, extra exercise, specialized care, or simply companionship while you’re away, I tailor my approach to their individual needs. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. My schedule allows me the flexibility to provide reliable care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays when available. Animal care is already part of my everyday life. I currently care for dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and other animals, so maintaining feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication administration, and daily enrichment is second nature to me. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I make every effort to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, medical needs, and any special instructions before care begins. Pets staying with me enjoy access to 30 fully fenced acres in Gibsonia, providing plenty of room for exercise, enrichment, sniffing, and play in a secure environment. All outdoor time is supervised, and activities are tailored to each dog’s energy level, age, and comfort. With experience in veterinary medicine, service dog training, and caring for a wide variety of animals, I am comfortable administering medications, monitoring for signs of illness or distress, and handling pets with unique behavioral or medical needs. I provide frequent updates and photos so owners can enjoy peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I have shared my life with many dogs, cats, and horses. I’ve have never not had a dog in my home. I understand personally the cherished place pets occupy in the hearts of their families. It would be my pleasure to provide you with peace of mind about your pet’s welfare while you are at work or enjoying your vacation. I drive school bus in the morning and afternoon. I can drop in between bus runs to take your dog for a walk and perform a welfare check for your cats or large animals. I am available to stay with your pets while you’re on vacation, or we can arrange for me to stop in throughout the day instead. I can stay in your home to care for your pets while you’re on vacation. I can check on them, or walk them between my school bus runs Monday through Friday, and I have weekends off to be with them full time.
About: As a compassionate animal enthusiast with over 25 years of experience, I am dedicated to providing exceptional care for your pets. Drawing from my diverse background as a mother, military veteran, and preschool teacher, I have built strong caregiving skills. In addition, in the past I have worked professionally as a veterinary technician for three years. Throughout my life, I have had the pleasure of owning various pets, including cats, dogs, chinchillas, hedgehogs, fish, pygmy goats, guinea pigs, turtles, and leopard geckos. Currently, I care for an English bulldog, a cat, and three guinea pigs. Having relocated to the Pittsburgh area in June 2024, I am excited to offer customized care solutions for your pet. As a preschool teacher with summers off, I am well-suited to provide your pets with the love, attention, and care they require, treating them with the same kindness I show my own pets. My availability during the school year is limited to nights, weekend, and holiday breaks. I am currently working as a preschool teacher. This gives me the whole summer off which allows me to be very flexible to care for your pets when you can't. I am committed to keeping your pet on the schedule you and your family want for them. All while keeping them safe and loving them.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. I grew up with cats and because we were never allowed to have a dog, I would take care of dogs in the neighborhood. I would dog sit, walk them constantly, and would even bathe them. When I was little, I wanted to be a veterinarian. However the thought of having to put an animal to sleep, kept me from fulfilling that lifelong dream. With two Golden Retrievers of my own Duke 7 years old and Enzo 7 months old who I adore more than life itself, and a cat my life is full. Looking forward to adding more fluffy friends to my life, and maybe even adding some excitement to my dogs life by adding new friends. I currently work full-time, but the majority of my days at work are spent working from home, so my schedule is flexible. The more dogs the merrier ! I will do whatever is necessary to provide the best care when someone else’s baby is in my care. I know what I would want for my dog, so I would treat each animal that is in my care the same way I would treat my own dog with lots of love, treats, walks and playtime!
“Ava is amazing! She was so good with our puppy and quick to respond. She is reliable, thorough, and ensures your pets are well taken care of. She also provided updates and photos as well, which we really appreciated! 10/10! 🌟🐾”
About: Ive always had a pet my whole life every single one of them has been my best friends! I currently have to animals of my own and they are my babies! I love staying active and being on the move so your furr babies wont get bored! I usually get off work around 12-2 it varies every day! I start work at 7:30 am. I have my whole day so filling in the time with my favorite thing sounds amazing! I have a fenced in yard, I have 2 kitties but they will be put away if another pet is in my home just to keep the stress down for all animals! In your home I will respect every rule you have and make sure your fur baby has company!

Let me know all of your pets favorite things and preferences! Do they prefer a walk where they can sniff to their heart's content, or a hike on the trail ? Do they love playing tug or belly rubs, or both ? I truly provide tailored care to your pet.

“Laura and her husband's love for dogs shines through in everything they do. They truly treated my dog as if it was their own. My pup had a minor medical issue (nothing to do with their care) and they made sure he got prompt care and expertly administered his medication. I loved the frequent photo and video updates. They rival some of the professional photos I've had taken! Will use again!”
“Couldn’t be more complementary about Lindsay and her family other than to say that they made Rusty feel like another part of their family. They welcomed him with open arms knowing he had counter surfing issues and separation anxiety. From the photos she sent, it is evident that Rusty enjoyed his stay.”
“We were so comfortable leaving Chimay with Erin. I hope Bob didn’t hover too much at drop off, he is less experienced at that and can get protective. We hope all went well while she was there, it looked like she fit in from the pictures.”
“I am so glad I found a great sitter, Stacey through Rover. My German Shepherd, Xavier had a good time at her house. Very professional, a lot of dog experiences especially large breed dogs. My dog enjoyed walking off leash with her at her huge property. We booked again already for our vacation next month. Thank you so much and see you soon!”
“Bree is great! She took wonderful care of our two dogs, kept us updated with photos and messages, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
“Alex is a fantastic sitter. She sent me lots of photos of Hank during my trip, and when circumstances held me up for an extra day, she was willing to extend the booking. I can feel confident leaving Hank with her, knowing that he will be in good hands, and I highly recommend Alex to any pet parent.”
“Coralee and her family took great care of Bear. Her dogs are very playful and friendly. It was so nice getting updates everyday and seeing how happy he was playing with them all day. I will definitely be calling Coralee next time we go out of town. I’m sure Bear will be very excited to go back!”
“Mary and her family were great! We had absolutely no worries leaving our dog with them for the weekend. Mary sent updates and pictures throughout the weekend, keeping us posted on how great it was going! Definitely going to rebook!”
“Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.”
“Emily and Patrick were great sitters for Nola while we were away attending a wedding. They sent multiple pictures and video updates for us, and Nola had a great time playing with Eli! Thank you so much 😊”
“Thank you to Sharon for taking good care of our Jack Russell terrier! Our pup came home tired, so I know she had been well-exercised and entertained. We appreciated the thoughtful photos and updates throughout our trip.”
About: Although we’re new to Rover, we’ve owned dogs our whole lives and understand that every dog is different. Some want to play nonstop, others just want someone nearby while they nap. Our family (including our two daughters) are all dog lovers, so visiting dogs become part of the family while they’re here. We’re happy to adjust to whatever helps your dog feel comfortable and stick to the routine they’re used to. I (Keith) work from home several days each week, so pet care fits naturally into my schedule. Morning walks, yard time, potty breaks, meals, and playtime are already part of my day with my own dog, so adding another four-legged friend feels pretty normal. My wife (Leigh) is home in the evenings and on the weekends so we both get to give our dog and visiting dogs a lot of attention and love. We keep our availability realistic so every dog gets the time and attention they deserve. We have a fully fenced backyard and live in a quiet neighborhood that’s great for walks. Our own dog is friendly, but we don’t assume every dog wants an instant playmate, so introductions are always slow and supervised. If your dog needs their own space, that’s not a problem. We’ll follow your feeding schedule, medications, and any instructions you leave so their stay is as close to home as possible.
“Regina did an amazing job. Wheezie is high energy with separation anxiety. She sent me lots of pictures and when I picked her up I could tell she was happy and well taken care of. I have health problems and she was able to take her last minute and showed her the care I am very happy with. I need not look anywhere else from now on any time I need to board her we will go straight to Regina!”
“Annette was lovely and caring to both Gustavo and me. Delays in flights meant I was 7 hours late in getting to Gus. Annette graciously dealt with this inconvenience. She was always quick to respond to communications. Most importantly, Gus clearly felt at home and welcomed from the minute she greeted him. When I picked him up, he was clearly comfortable with Annette. Thank you.”
“I feel so fortunate to have found Tyler to care for my very active and rambunctious 9- month old golden retriever. Tyler is very dog savvy and understood the challenges he had. He walked my dog several times a day meeting new people and dogs. Just the kind of socialization a young dog needs. I loved the daily updates and pictures Tyler sent. My dog seemed to be having such a good time, I doubt he missed me at all.”
“Adrienne is a loving, flexible dog sitter. Her apartment is perfect for dogs. She really puts you at ease with contact while you are on the road. A+”
“Michelle and Sami were amazing!! They took great care of our very active Weimeraner puppy and it was obvious that he was showered with affection by their family. They're very experienced in training/caring for different breeds, and their Goldens were great pals to our dog. We are so grateful for their help and care!”
