“Donte was great with our 1.5yo Great Dane! We felt comfortable leaving him for a week and we were even able to add on some training to work on his leash skills while we were away.”
“Rudy had a wonderful first stay! We were kept in the loop the whole time with frequent updates and lots of photos. While there, Rudy was dealing with some allergy issues, and they were fantastic about relaying information proactively and making sure his treatment was incorporated into the day without any issues. Such a seamless experience. We’d absolutely recommend and book again!”
“Dave provided outstanding care for my French Bulldog. His frequent updates gave me complete peace of mind, and it’s clear he treats every pet with genuine love and attention. I’ll definitely book with him again without hesitation!”
“Tamikia did an amazing job taking care of my pup while I was gone! She provided lots of pictures/updates and made me feel at ease. I would definitely book with her again :)”
“Khaing took such good care of our beloved cat! As a first time Rover user, she was so helpful regarding processes on the booking itself, and of course how she would care for our Kitty. From her regular updates and photos, I can tell he had an absolutely delightful stay - and it was a vacation for him! Her set up is absolutely wonderful for a cat, with multiple cat trees and lots of engaging toys. Khaing is an excellent communicator, and a fantastic cat sitter with a big heart.”
“Bryce was great with Alfie! It took Alfie some time to settle in which made me a bit nervous but Bryce ensured me that he had things under control and Alfie would be okay. He was even patient with me because I was worried! Bryce was also very accommodating when I had the dates incorrect due to the time zone. He quickly responded and modified the date. He was great! Thank you Bryce!”
“Carly was communicative and accommodating with pick up and drop off times, and she very graciously kept Luka for longer when I encountered travel mishap. Getting a few photos from his week with Carly made the separation easier!”
“I can’t recommend Alexandra enough! She has been taking care of my dog, Milo, for quite some time now, and I always have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in her care. She and family truly treat Milo like he’s their own. He’s always so well cared for, loved, and honestly spoiled in the best way possible. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she watches, and it shows in everything she does. She’s reliable, kind, attentive, and always keeps me updated, which means so much. Milo is always happy to see her, and that says it all. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, she’s the one. I wholeheartedly recommend her!”
“Juliana is a wonderful sitter! Meek got so excited when being dropped off for his 2nd visit at her house. She is loving and takes great care of Meek. Constant updated the care of Meek”
“Patty was extremely thoughtful and sweet to my senior dog for a week stay. I didn't have to worry at all, and he came back nice and tired and happy. He even made a doggie friend during his stay! Plus, she sent me some really great photos of him.”
“Our dog regularly stays with Brian when we travel and every visit has been wonderful. Brian keeps us updated with information and pictures and our dog comes home well taken care of and very happy. Brian is a terrific sitter and I highly recommend him.”

“Megan is amazing! I got lots of updates and pictures throughout Bella’s stay with her. But mostly, she was so patient and understanding with my weather related delays in picking her up. I was very fortunate that Megan communicated so well because I was able to keep her updated, and Bella was in great hands while I was away.”

“Amy was fantastic - we instantly felt comfortable with her husband and her (and, more importantly, so did the dog!). She was very detail oriented, sent pictures throughout Champ's short stay and made sure Champ got plenty of exercise. I also appreciated her policy not to take multiple dogs at once. We will definitely be repeating with Amy - the whole experience was great!”
“Amazing as always - watched Marshall over the Christmas holiday and treated him like his own pup! Lavished him with toys, cuddles, and hugs! Marshall is a demanding dog - does not play well with other dogs and doesn’t like to be left alone and he just absolutely thrives with Chris. Thank you!”
“Mygan was absolutely wonderful and tool such great care of Fluff! She’s a proactive communicator and was very thoughtful about sending photos, checking in, and making sure Fluff was comfortable and cared for. Would absolutely recommend her and would trust her with my pup any time!”

“Breanna is GREAT! She was very communicative and understanding of my pets different needs. My cat who doesn’t come from under the couch for anyone was comfortable enough to play and even get a few pets.”
“Barbara and Austin were fantastic with our cats, Baylor and Bentley. I take my cats' care very seriously, and this was the first time I had ever hired a petsitter outside of family. They came by a few weeks ahead of time to meet us, and more specifically, our cat Baylor, who is diabetic and on a strict care routine. By the end of our meeting, I was confident that my boys would be in good hands. And they were! During their visit, Baylor safely received his glucose check, feeding, and medicine. What impressed me even more was that they managed to win over Bentley, who is extremely shy and almost never comes out for strangers. The fact that he felt comfortable enough to come out for them speaks volumes. I was genuinely surprised. Bentley is usually afraid of his own shadow. Barbara was very responsive to all of my messages, and also sent an update with photos after their visit. She and Austin are reliable, patient, and kind. Most importantly, Baylor and Bentley were comfortable, too! They will certainly be our first choice the next time we need a reliable caregiver for our boys.”
“Jada is excellent. Quick and painless with watching my beloved babies. Toward the end of the visit my VERY standoffish girl that usually stays away from people offered some cuddles which was pretty much a stamp of approval. Attentive, quick, and made sure to come on time to feed my babies. Will be booking again.”
“Kristin provided great care for our cat while we were on vacation. She sent detailed updates and daily photos. Besides feeding and cleaning his litter, Kristin showed him great affection which was very comforting. I would not hesitate to have her care for our cat again in the future.”
“Rachel is a great sitter. We booked her for 2 drop-in visit to our cats. She has done a great job taking care of them, and sent us cute photos of them as she knew we miss them.”
“Paz is so great! During our meet & greet she was super thorough, took great notes, and asked great questions. I knew my diabetic cat was in good hands with her. Will be booking her again!”
“Linda is wonderful! Her communication is perfect, we love the photos and videos she provides us of our sweet little cat. She is very diligent with her care and provides great ideas on how to keep Catboy happy.”
“Sarah was amazing with my special needs kitty, little baby No No Pants. He's a one eyed, limited vision in the remaining eye, hearing impaired little gremlin who was recovering from dental surgery when she met us for a meet a greet and ultimately cared for him while I was away for the first time over the Easter holiday. She handled all of his special needs along with his quirks with care and patience. She allowed him to get acquainted on his terms, which meant becoming his personal jungle gym to investigate her head to toe. She followed all of his care instructions wonderfully, sent adorable pictures to keep me posted on how he was doing, and totally put my worries and anxiety at ease while I was away. I came home to a happy well cared for little guy. She's officially No No approved with two paws up for sure!”
“Marci F was fantastic with Whinny. I felt very comfortable. She sent pictures everyday. I can tell she really enjoys taking care of animals. I would highly recommend her to family and friends.”
“Tamikia did a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were away. She came at the scheduled time and did all that was asked of her and more. She made us feel very comfortable leaving our cat in her care. We enjoyed receiving the daily updates and photos while we were away. We would definitely hire her again!”
“Olivia is absolutely a gem! Mabel was sooo happy to see, play and walk with her everyday! Olivia was so helpful even with curbing my baby back to using her litter box again #rovermagic !!! Definitely a permanent sitter in my books!!!”
About: Hi, I’m Naomi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a special place in my heart for cats. I have my own rescue cat Pepper, whom I found abandoned in my backyard (cat distribution system!) I understand feline routines, personalities, and the patience cats need to feel comfortable. From feeding and litter care to playtime and quiet companionship, I always respect each cat’s space and treat them like family. You can trust me to give your cat calm, loving care while you’re away.
About: My three years of experience have taught me that every dog possesses a unique personality and set of needs. I prioritize your pet's comfort and happiness by treating them as if they were my own. My approach centers on maintaining a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine, whether that involves strict adherence to dietary schedules or managing high-energy play. I hold certifications in Experience with senior pets and Experience with special needs pets. I remain calm during emergencies, prioritizing quick, responsible decision-making while keeping you fully informed. I am punctual, kind, and empathetic, and I truly enjoy helping shy dogs come out of their shells. With my own reliable transportation, I am ready to provide your dog with the dedicated care they deserve. I look forward to treating your beloved companion with the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walks throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to provide reliable, consistent walks and plenty of exercise, attention, and care. Animals have always been a part of my family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. My childhood dog lived to be 15 years old, and I was there to help care for him throughout his life, especially in his senior years when he needed extra support. He was truly my best friend and taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and attentive care. Today, I care for my own dog and cat every day by feeding them, giving them attention, and making sure they are happy and healthy. I walk my dog before and after work and throughout the day as needed, and I enjoy spending quality time playing with both my dog and cat. I have a genuine love for animals, but dog walking is something I especially enjoy. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities, and I will treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets.
About: Not currently but in the past I've always had at least one cat. And multiple times a year I would pet sit a family member with five cats, two rabbits, two turtles, & a iguana. But currently I do not own any animals and very much miss the company of finicky felines & doting dogs.
“Christina is wonderful. I recommend her without hesitation. She took care of my cats and my home when was gone. Great communication. I have a cat that needs meds everyday and she took care of that. I'll gladly book her again.”
About: Experienced and compassionate, I am a dedicated animal sitter with a passion for providing exceptional care for pets. What sets me apart from other sitters is my specialized skill set, including training puppies and expertise in senior pet care. I excel in establishing a strong foundation for good behavior through puppy training techniques and providing gentle and attentive care for senior animals, managing medications and addressing mobility issues. With a personalized approach, I tailor care routines to meet the unique needs of each animal, ensuring their well-being and happiness. Additionally, I am skilled in understanding and interpreting animal behavior, enabling effective communication and building trust. With training in pet first aid and CPR, I am prepared to handle emergencies and prioritize the safety of all animals under my care. I still have school, so it honestly just depends on after 4. After 4 I’m free for the rest if the day, and i need something to do with the rest of my time, and given i have not much better to do i’d prefer to take care and watch over animals! When caring for pets, whether in my own home or at a client's residence, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for them. In my home, I provide a designated space where pets can relax and feel at ease. I ensure that this area is clean, secure, and equipped with the necessary essentials such as bedding, toys, and food/water bowls. Additionally, I maintain a regular feeding schedule to meet their dietary needs. Exercise and playtime are also integral parts of my care routine, as I engage pets in stimulating activities tailored to their energy levels and preferences. If caring for pets in a client's home, I ensure to follow any specific instructions provided, replicating their familiar environment as closely as possible. I make it a point to provide ample affection, attention, and companionship to keep pets happy and emotionally fulfilled during my care sessions. Overall, my approach to pet care revolves around providing a nurturing and loving environment that meets the individual needs of each furry friend.

“My Dog Scottie just loves Donte. This week Scottie got so excited after the first day with Donte. Every time I pulled out Scottie’s leash he knew he was going with Donte and get so excited rushing to the door. Donte is my new dog sitter anytime I need one for sure. Thank you soooo much”
“It was a smooth experience leaving my dog with Cartier and she was really nice and easy to work will, wil definably leave my pet with her in future whenever possible and recommend her services to others as well”
“Julianna is so sweet! She lives my Paulie and I adore seeing Cooper and Betty Boop and meeting the other pups Juliana is caring for! The comfort of having Juliana care my pup the way she cares for her own is awesome!!”
“Michell was great! He paid attention to concerns I had about my dog’s needs and made me feel confident leaving him. Their house has a great set up for dogs to have what they need on their day away from home. I recommend and will return with our pup. Thanks Michell.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Saya and David while they cared for my miniature dachshund, Astro, for 3 days of daycare. Even before meeting him, they took the time to ask thoughtful questions to make sure they understood his routine, personality, and needs. Throughout his stay, they were incredibly communicative, sending photos and videos that gave me peace of mind and showed just how much fun he was having. It was clear that Astro received plenty of attention, affection, and excellent care (by the second morning, he ran right into their house because he was so excited to see them again)! They were also very flexible and accommodating with drop-off and pick-up times, which made everything convenient around my work schedule. I truly felt that Astro was treated like part of their family. I highly recommend Saya and David to anyone looking for caring and reliable dog sitters, and I will absolutely be booking with them again!”
“Autumn is awesome with Sesame! She took her to the dog park and took such good care of her! She was also very flexible with me when I got off work late and had to pick Sesame up later. I would definitely let Autumn watch Sesame again!”
About: A lover of animals of all sorts, I've rescued and cared for cats of my own for over 40 years. My family had dogs including a Beagle and a Lhasa Poo while I was growing up, and I'm the one who always says, "Can I say hi?!" when I see someone out walking their dog. I volunteered at Main Line Animal Rescue, Providence Animal Rescue, and pet store based cat rescues and have received dog handling and walking training. I am equipped and eager to provide your pets with quality time and care. I have groomed cats, walked the big dogs, and cleaned bunny litter. Clients, friends, and co-workers have been happy with my services and I enjoy connecting my work with one of my passions. If you scroll my photos, I admit I haven't cared for alpacas. But I'd love to learn how! I'd be happy to make your getaways, vacations, or travel for work less stressful for you by caring for your pets and home. I give plenty of updates and photos,with regular reports on food and treats, litter or potty time, and general behavior. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to book well in advance or to jump in for last minte bookings. Just let me know your needs and I'll do my best to make it work. Book ahead for your fall and winter travel plans! Taking care of your pets in your home is a responsibility and a privilege, allowing your pets to have their safe spaces and comforts while you're away. If house-sitting or dropping in for care or walks, I'll follow your suggestions and directions to deliver the best possible care. I am mature, responsible, and experienced, so you can feel confident in my reliability. Note: I do not provide care for wild animals outside clients' homes, including squirrels, raccoons, foxes, possums, or other rodents. I am happy to fill bird feeders and take care of fish or other indoor pets.
“We were able to spontaneously book daycare for our two dogs with Patricia while visiting Philly for the day. Patricia provided us with photos & took our dogs on several walks. Our dogs came back happy. We will definitely book with Patricia again when we are back in the area.”
“I found Christopher when I was new to rover and didn’t bother to look any further! He has been super accommodating, takes amazing care of my puppy, and has been a pleasure to work with through rover. Highly, highly, highly recommend!”
“Both my dogs had such a great time with Olga!! They both came home and went straight to sleep. She quickly responded to my request (even late at night) and sent me updates through the day so I knew my pups were safe. I highly recommend her for dog daycare/ sitting. Thanks again!”
About: Hello! Meet a terrier trapped in a human body. I am an absolute lover of all dogs from the cutest little teacup to the biggest mastiff. I have always had a dog throughout my adult life. My past dogs have been adopted as puppies and as adult rescues, each of which requires a unique set of skills and responsiveness. You can trust that whether you have an energetic bundle of playfullness or a reserved, quiet couch buddy, they will receive an abundance of love and care from me. I match animals where they are and respond to what they need from me. Over my lifetime, I have cared for all kinds of animals, from cats, dogs, birds, fish and backyard chickens, to more exotic animals like chameleons, red-eared slider turtles, guinea pigs and other rodents, and even sheep, goats, and horses. I am currently a pet parent to two foster cats turned adopted felines, two guinea pigs, and two turtles. Being around animals brings me a deep sense of joy, peace, and fulfillment, and it is my utmost goal to return that same feeling to the animals in my life. I work part-time from home in Swarthmore, PA. As an animal lover who just can't get enough, I want to add pet-stting and dog-walking to my schedule to fill that well of animal love I already have. In rare instances, I will not be able to accept same-day requests, but otherwise, I should be able to meet your needs. Currently, I am taking drop in or occasional visits only. I am unable to add weekly walks or visits, but I can definitely fill in while you find the right sitter or help when your regular sitter is unavailable. As the owner of many types of animals with many different needs, I understand that caring for your pet in exactly the way you ask me to is of utmost importance. I will enter you home, approach your animal/s, provide care, and exit in the exact way you ask me to. As someone who has had many pet-sitters over my adulthood, I know how important it is to trust that your pet-sitter is doing exactly what you've asked them to do. You will not have to worry with me. Knowing that you can relax and enjoy your day or your vacation brings me joy because this is exactly what I want when I leave my pets in another's care.
About: I’m very experienced with puppies/kittens. I’ve rescued several kittens over the years, and fostered them as well. I have volunteered at no kill shelters in the past. I’m currently working from home so pet care fits into my schedule very well. I am an early riser so i am available early mornings as well as evenings. I care for pets in my home by showing them unconditional love, and attention, along with making sure they are always comfortable. Making them feel at home is my number one priority!
“Deena was very accommodating and good with my dog. This was my first time using Rover and she made the experience great! She took care of my little guy!!! Thank you”
About: I’ve been a pet owner of over 20 years, worked as a vet assistant at a local well-renowned animal hospital for several years (up until 2024), and have been an animal lover for my entire life. I have experience with puppies/kittens, BIG dogs, elderly dogs & cats, as well as those with special medical & behavioral needs. In addition, I have expertise regarding small animals such as birds, bunnies, fish, & reptiles. I’m well versed in the care of various species and can administer IV fluids, medication, as well as anything your pet may need while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone who can love your furry friend like family, all while catering to their specific needs, and treating you & your home with the utmost respect; then I am the girl for you! Please check out my reviews and feel free to message me with any questions or more details on what services I can provide for you & your loved one(s) 🐾 **please message me if your total before booking seems higher than what my rates are. Rover mistakenly overcharges a lot of the time, so pricing may not be initially accurate** I’m extremely flexible & am home all day. I’m an early-riser & often go to bed late, a perfect arrangement for all pets, especially those with anxiety & special needs. Also very convenient for those early morning and late night airport departures/arrivals. I will accommodate to the best of my ability! So your dog needs to be taken out at 5am? I’m your girl! Your cat needs medication at midnight? No problem there ☺️ You have a 6am flight in the morning? I gotcha! I also have a pet care assistant, Robert, who is available to assist with supervision, feedings, walkings, and even grooming so your pet always gets the best and most extensive care possible. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I have a lot of land with local dog parks nearby. I have several cats in my home but am able to keep them confined to a different section of the house in case any of my clients are not cat friendly. I’m very well trained with walking all types of sizes and breeds of dogs, I have experience with administering medicine and IV fluids, and know generally about most animal species & care.
About: I’ve had two of my own dogs and fostered 4 puppies. I’m definitely a hands off kind of sitter, i let the dog come to me on their own terms. I have had high and low energy dogs and enjoy both. I adore dogs and need them in my life but i don’t want to my own right now. Your dog helps me keep my day moving. I have a door to the patio outside of my office/bedroom. The only issue would be dogs who can’t do stairs. We have a pee spot in the patio if it’s really bad weather.
About: Just over a year ago I've had the experience and joy to care of my friends dog. I was able to take her home for a month and make sure she well loved. We walked, played, did some tricks and got to enjoy each other company. Ever since then I've always been fascinated about dogs especially huskies they are my favorite! Don't get me wrong I love other dogs as well, especially the ones who waggles their tail in excitement! One day I will have a dog of my own and be able to nourish and care for it the same way I'm able to do with other dogs today. But until then I will continue to play and love each dog equally. I’m home 24/7 so your dog will have my undivided attention. I also can give your dog a bath if need and take good care of them. I have a fenced backyard that is properly fenced for a dog scroll around. I typically enjoy walking so I don't mind taking walks with your pups rather than letting them hangout in the back yard.
“Diana did a great job with my dog Tigger. Very communicative and helpful with scheduling pick up and drop off. Tigger can get anxious but Diana did a good job making sure he was comfortable and happy.”
About: I’ve been a pet owner/parent since I was a child. I’ve owned Pugs, Frenchies, Rotties, Great Danes and even mixed breeds from puppies to seniors. This has given me the knowledge to understand that all pups are different and may need different attention depending on their stage of life, but rest assured all pups will receive safe, reliable and loving care. At this time caring for your pet is my only job so I’ll have plenty of time to play with and care for your pups! I’m available for boarding with a drop off window between 9:30am and 7:30pm weekdays, with the exception of 5:30-6pm which is typically when I like to feed the pups unless instructed otherwise. I like to allow about an hour and a half of rest after eating for proper digestion before any playtime. Checkout should be no later than 10:00am, or you will be charged the daycare fee for that day and your pet must be picked up by 6pm.. On weekends drop off times are after 2pm but there may be an opportunity for some flexibility that can be discussed if an earlier time is needed. Daycare hours will run 8:30am to 6pm Monday to Friday. “PLEASE NOTE” that all pets must be up to date with shots and flea and tick meds for daycare and boarding. Proof will be required. Your pets safety is very important to me which is why I require dog friendly pets only and no puppies under 5 months. If you are unsure of how your pet will handle boarding I suggest trying a couple days of daycare to get them adjusted. At no time will your pet ever be left alone in the yard or unattended in my home. If something comes up and I need to run an errand, your pet will be crated/pen for safety. I have central air to keep the pets cool and if your pup feels a bit overwhelmed at first while boarding by my resident dogs, I can offer separation if needed.

“Bree has been great with Mochi! She is on time, communicative, and patient- learning to use Mochi's e-collar and dominant dog collar. She is also understanding of my anxiety around Mo's selective aggression in our extremely dog-friendly apartment complex. She is super vigilant about other dogs, and attentive to environmental risks on walks. Her attentiveness puts me at ease, and I would recommend her without reservation.”
“Destinee is everything you could want in a dog walker! Thorough, communicative, enthusiastic, and always right on time. As this was our first time working together, she asked great questions to ensure she was providing the best possible care for my dog. It is clear she takes her job seriously, and she immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my dog’s care in her hands. I look forward to utilizing her services again in the future! Her future in the veterinary field is bright.”
About: Of course I love animals, but what matters more to me is noticing who your pet actually is. Are they the kind of dog who needs to sniff the same corner for five minutes before moving on? Are they a little shy at first and pretending not to care? Do they get excited easily and need someone calm around them? Are they a cat who wants company, but absolutely not too much company? I really enjoy figuring out those little things. I’m gentle, patient, and very respectful of each pet’s routine. I don’t believe in rushing them or treating every animal the same. Some pets need play and attention, some need slow walks and quiet reassurance, and some just need someone kind nearby so the house does not feel empty. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that still feels familiar to them. I’m also very careful with instructions. Feeding routines, medications, walk preferences, favorite toys, things that scare them, how they like to be greeted, whether they are allowed on the couch. I want to know all of it. I know these details are not “extra.” They are usually the things that make a pet feel secure. I’ll also send updates and photos, not just to say everything is fine, but so you can actually feel connected to them while you are away. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, may also help me sometimes, and you may see her in some of my photos. She has had pets since childhood and fostered animals for several years, so she is very used to different personalities, nervous pets, affectionate pets, and animals who need a little extra patience. She is calm, loving, and very responsible, and I trust her completely with animals. Between the two of us, your pet will be cared for by people who genuinely like being around animals, but who also understand that trust matters. I’ll treat your pet with warmth, patience, and care, and I’ll treat your home and instructions with respect. This year, much of my work is remote, which gives me real flexibility in my schedule. That means I’m able to spend unrushed, attentive time with pets, not just quick check-ins, but actual companionship, care, and presence. I can shape my day around walks, visits, feeding times, play, and quiet company, depending on what each pet needs. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, who is included in the pictures, also helps me out with my Rover schedules. My home is my cat Lilo’s safe little kingdom, so I can’t host other pets here. But I’m very happy to come to your home, meet outside for walks, or figure out a setup that feels easy and comfortable for you and your pet.
About: Hello, My name Twanakay T., and I am 32 years old. While I don't currently have any pets of my own besides my fish tank, I grew up in a household with cats and dogs, so I have plenty of experience caring for animals. I had a cat named Jenny who lived with me from childhood until I was 18, and my father has a dog named Kingston.

About: I have taken care of pets (dogs and cats) since the age of ten. I have been working in animal shelters for the past 13 years and have experience caring for dogs and cat with age ranges from a few weeks old to over 16+ years old. I cater each job to fit the needs of the client and pet(s) in the home! I’ll treat your pets as my own and show them all of the love and care they deserve while you’re away! I adapt to whatever schedule and routine you have for your furry family member(s)! From walks, to play & cuddle time, to decompression time, I can handle it all and will follow whatever routine you have set in place. Whatever makes you and your pet(s) happy makes me happy!
About: My three years of experience have taught me that every dog possesses a unique personality and set of needs. I prioritize your pet's comfort and happiness by treating them as if they were my own. My approach centers on maintaining a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine, whether that involves strict adherence to dietary schedules or managing high-energy play. I hold certifications in Experience with senior pets and Experience with special needs pets. I remain calm during emergencies, prioritizing quick, responsible decision-making while keeping you fully informed. I am punctual, kind, and empathetic, and I truly enjoy helping shy dogs come out of their shells. With my own reliable transportation, I am ready to provide your dog with the dedicated care they deserve. I look forward to treating your beloved companion with the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walks throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to provide reliable, consistent walks and plenty of exercise, attention, and care. Animals have always been a part of my family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. My childhood dog lived to be 15 years old, and I was there to help care for him throughout his life, especially in his senior years when he needed extra support. He was truly my best friend and taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and attentive care. Today, I care for my own dog and cat every day by feeding them, giving them attention, and making sure they are happy and healthy. I walk my dog before and after work and throughout the day as needed, and I enjoy spending quality time playing with both my dog and cat. I have a genuine love for animals, but dog walking is something I especially enjoy. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities, and I will treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets.
About: I’ve had two of my own dogs and fostered 4 puppies. I’m definitely a hands off kind of sitter, i let the dog come to me on their own terms. I have had high and low energy dogs and enjoy both. I adore dogs and need them in my life but i don’t want to my own right now. Your dog helps me keep my day moving. I have a door to the patio outside of my office/bedroom. The only issue would be dogs who can’t do stairs. We have a pee spot in the patio if it’s really bad weather.
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life I've had to attend dog behavioral training classes with multiple dogs over the years of owning them with family. As an adult I've never had the privilege of owning my own dog only cats. But I've always been the one to help family members when they go away walks & pet siting. I work in the elder care system but trying to find a balance of Harmony. With my active lifestyle and fond affection for The Great outdoors I miss the company of dogs I don't have the means or time to own my own I would like an opportunity to be able to explore new areas of my local neighborhood and getting exercise. I do care for a cat though, she is not my own. But she is welcomed in my apartment she owns this house. And I only just pay the rent.
About: Hi there! 🐾 My partner and I both grew up around dogs, have had our own dogs, and are foster dog parents. We'd love the opportunity to cuddle and take the very best care of your pup. Think of us as your dog's godparents! We know how hard it can be to leave your fur babies. We would love to ease that worry for you and send photos/videos and keep you updated throughout the stay! We both work from home so we will stay with your pet. With our flexible schedule, we'll be able to keep to your dog's normal routine and schedule with walks, potty, meal time, and play time! We have crates, beds, and plenty of treats and toys. We also have a huge fenced-in yard where we can play fetch and run around. I believe dogs need to be stimulated mentally and physically. In addition to getting good exercise through daily walks, I also have lots of toys and balls, sniff mats, lick mats, and food puzzles. I also enjoy training dogs so your dog may come home having learned a new trick!
“Andrea is doing wonderfully with our dog Bear. Bears a little shy around new people but she took right to Andrea and is excited every time she comes to our home. Andrea is also incredibly flexible and a joy to work with. Highly recommend.”
“Olivia is absolutely a gem! Mabel was sooo happy to see, play and walk with her everyday! Olivia was so helpful even with curbing my baby back to using her litter box again #rovermagic !!! Definitely a permanent sitter in my books!!!”
“Kim was awesome I needed a last minute dog walker and she responded right away. She was very thoughtful and considerate asking questions about my dog. She kept me notified and sent pictures and she gad a great disposition and personality!! I never met her before and trusted her in my home with my dog and she made me feel reassured and confident I highly recommend her!”
“We are so happy Nate agreed to walk our 3 big dogs! He was on time every day. They were always excited to see him and the pups responded very well to him. By the end of the week they were walking better for Nate than they do for us! Nate will definitely be our first choice the next time we need someone to walk our dogs.”

About: What sets me apart is my calm and gentle demeanor, especially beneficial for anxious or shy pets. I create a peaceful and reassuring environment, helping them feel safe and comfortable. I'm skilled at reading their body language and adapting my approach to their individual needs. I'm also very patient and understanding, giving them the time they need to adjust. I'm experienced in creating a safe and comfortable space, and I am very good at slow introductions. Pet care is a top priority in my daily and weekly routine. I believe in providing consistent care, so I establish regular feeding and walk schedules. I'm also flexible and adapt to each pet's unique needs. Throughout the day, I monitor their behavior and ensure they have fresh water and playtime. I genuinely love spending time with animals and providing them with the best possible care. My approach to pet care is built on providing a safe, happy, and healthy environment for every animal. Here's what that looks like: * Routine and Consistency: I understand the importance of routine, so I strictly follow feeding schedules and exercise plans provided by owners. * Personalized Attention: Every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to their individual needs. Some dogs love fetch, while others prefer gentle cuddles. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality and preferences. For example, with shy cats, I use slow, gentle movements and let them approach me on their own terms.

“Donte was great with our 1.5yo Great Dane! We felt comfortable leaving him for a week and we were even able to add on some training to work on his leash skills while we were away.”
“Rudy had a wonderful first stay! We were kept in the loop the whole time with frequent updates and lots of photos. While there, Rudy was dealing with some allergy issues, and they were fantastic about relaying information proactively and making sure his treatment was incorporated into the day without any issues. Such a seamless experience. We’d absolutely recommend and book again!”
“Dave provided outstanding care for my French Bulldog. His frequent updates gave me complete peace of mind, and it’s clear he treats every pet with genuine love and attention. I’ll definitely book with him again without hesitation!”

“Bryce was great with Alfie! It took Alfie some time to settle in which made me a bit nervous but Bryce ensured me that he had things under control and Alfie would be okay. He was even patient with me because I was worried! Bryce was also very accommodating when I had the dates incorrect due to the time zone. He quickly responded and modified the date. He was great! Thank you Bryce!”
“Carly was communicative and accommodating with pick up and drop off times, and she very graciously kept Luka for longer when I encountered travel mishap. Getting a few photos from his week with Carly made the separation easier!”
“Our dog regularly stays with Brian when we travel and every visit has been wonderful. Brian keeps us updated with information and pictures and our dog comes home well taken care of and very happy. Brian is a terrific sitter and I highly recommend him.”
“We will definitely be checking for Rebecca’s availability next time we need a dog sitter she was so great with our pup. She sent a lot of updates and pictures and treated Jackie like her own. Thanks again Rebecca!”
“Olivia was absolutely amazing with our senior pups, Luna (our Husky) and Kiwi (our Pug). It’s not always easy finding someone who understands the needs of older dogs, but Olivia was incredibly patient and kind. She kept us updated throughout their stay with sweet photos and check-ins that made us feel completely at ease. Kiwi still has bursts of playful energy, while Luna enjoys a slower, calmer pace — and Olivia balanced their different needs beautifully. We came home to two happy pups and that says everything. We’re so grateful to have found her and would absolutely book with Olivia again in a heartbeat.”
“Aubrey offered fantastic service and provided a wonderful space for our dog, Whiskey. She was professional, communicative, and knows how to handle and interact with all types of dogs. I highly recommend using Aubrey if you’re in the area!”
“George was fabulous with Cannoli! He was super responsive and sent me adorable photos of my baby throughout the stay. Cannoli enjoyed playing with George’s dogs who are also sweet and lovable! Would definitely book with George again!”

“Megan is amazing! I got lots of updates and pictures throughout Bella’s stay with her. But mostly, she was so patient and understanding with my weather related delays in picking her up. I was very fortunate that Megan communicated so well because I was able to keep her updated, and Bella was in great hands while I was away.”
“Robert took such good care of Ivy. I could tell she was so comfortable and happy through the updates and photos he sent. The photos were such amazing quality and they made me smile when i was missing my pup!”
“Amazing as always - watched Marshall over the Christmas holiday and treated him like his own pup! Lavished him with toys, cuddles, and hugs! Marshall is a demanding dog - does not play well with other dogs and doesn’t like to be left alone and he just absolutely thrives with Chris. Thank you!”
“We had such a great experience! Pumpkin was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. We received lots of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was great from start to finish, and it was obvious they treated Pumpkin like one of their own. We would absolutely trust them with her again and highly recommend them! ♥️”
