“Nelia and her precious family take dog sitting to a very high level! Always will be my first choice for future bookings! Hershey was treated like part of her family with lots of love, attention and exercise. Nelia sent frequent updates with great photos of him with her children, outside in the backyard, and on neighborhood walks. It was my longest time away from him. It was hard for me, but Nelia made it so much easier knowing how well he was being cared for. Nelia followed my instructions exactly and was very flexible with last minute changes with my work schedule and needing to drop him off a day earlier. Flexible with drop off time also. She invited me to stop over for a meet and greet before the first drop off after our first phone call. You learn a lot from meet and greets and I highly recommend them for everyone! Meet Nelia and her family and you will agree that she is a great choice!”
“I’m so glad to have found Courtney. She has been absolutely wonderful with my 2 dogs and they are always happy to see her. She takes such good care of them and keeps me posted with pictures and information on what they are up to. I’m very happy and know they are in good hands with Courtney. I can go away and not worry cause I know she is there with them. Thank you Courtney!”
“Raeann was amazing! From the initial meet and greet it was clear that Hudson would be well cared for. During his stay, she shared pictures/updates of their time together. She opened up her home to him. I will absolutely consider Raeann again to take care of Hudson while I travel!”
“Julia was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Poppy, over the holiday weekend. Poppy has a special diet and can’t have any human food, and Julia was very careful to follow all of her instructions. Poppy also gets a little anxious when left alone, especially during fireworks, and Julia was incredibly patient and comforting with her throughout the weekend. Julia kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Poppy and knew exactly how to make her feel safe and comfortable. From the moment they met, Julia put Poppy at ease. it was obvious she’s a true dog person. Julia is mature, responsible, and an excellent communicator. We felt completely comfortable leaving Poppy in her care and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. We highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!”
“Wonderful experience with Jeremy and his wife! We were so grateful to find them on short notice, and they took wonderful care of our pup. I think she was almost sad to leave she had so much fun! We will be calling them again 💗”
“Tia and her family are so sweet with my pup, and were so accommodating when it was unclear if my flight would return on time / whether my heat would be working upon my return. Tia is our go-to Rover sitter because of how communicative and kind she is!”
“Amazing with my little void! Everyday pics and video and my little baby looked so happy to be there! Went above and beyond and made little toys for her!”
“Great peace of mind leaving my two dogs with Samantha when a family emergency mandated I leave town suddenly. She was quick to respond and and very flexible with pick-up days/times, which I really appreciated. When I picked my pups up, they were happy and calm from all the playtime they got in Samantha's large, shady backyard. Will definitely book again with Samantha in the future!”
“This was our first experience with Rover and we could not have dreamed of a better experience! Sara was so sweet and knowledgeable, and sent lots of wonderful photos. The next time we will absolutely go to her first!!”
“Gemma loved my baby like her own! My pup was so stinking spoiled. I got multiple videos and pictures daily and she replied so quickly. Would 100% rebook with Gemma.”
“Amanda and Jack were absolutely amazing! My girl, Onyx, had an issue with her elbow, and they handled the situation with incredible care, compassion, and professionalism. They kept me updated with photos throughout her stay, which gave me tremendous peace of mind, and they even took her on a nature hike so she could enjoy some time outdoors. It's clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. I highly recommend Amanda's services and wouldn't hesitate to trust them with Onyx again!”
“Christine is a super-duper sitter. Winnie is always happy and healthy when I pick her up. C is great at communicating both happy pictures and concerns as well as flexible timing. Thanks Christine!”
“We were leaving on an extended vacation and needed someone to take care of our dog Remy, and Sebastian was amazing! He gave us frequent updates and sent us pictures throughout our trip which helped ease our anxiety about being separated from our girl for so long! Communication was fantastic and most importantly Remy was happy - cannot recommend Sebastian enough!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Jacqueline took such great care of our mini Goldendoodle, Lolo, while we were away on vacation. From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in good hands. We got daily updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind. Our doggo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can trust—this was truly above and beyond. Highly recommend and will absolutely book again!”
“Tamara was an excellent sitter for my little dog! I will definitely book her in the future! I'm not sure my dog even wanted to come home. She was comfortable there from the get go! Tamara also went above and beyond when my dog grabbed a chicken bone thrown in the grass.”

“Jacqueline was so fantastic watching our dog over a holiday weekend! She was so detailed summarizing each visit that it helped us relax and enjoy our time away without having to worry about our pup!! 10/10 recommend her for anything you may need for your pets, she’s amazing!!”
“Mandie was so great watching my cats. She left detailed and funny notes, highlighting each of my girls’ personalities. She arrived on time and was easy to communicate with! Highly recommend!”
“Abriana was wonderful with Suki. She arrived on time, was very personable, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving Suki in her care. She uploaded photos, kept me updated, and handled everything perfectly. I’m so grateful and would definitely book with her again.”
About: With 3 fur babies of my own, being a cat caretaker for friends and family, and previous experience working alongside my college town cat rescue, I've learned and gained a wealth of knowledge over the past 5+ years. I personally keep my babies on a feeding schedule, including bedtime and treats. Their litter boxes are cleaned once a day and their personal room is vacuumed two to three times a week. I do my best to dedicate 30-40 minutes of play time a day with them, if they are willing to engage. Sometimes, they prefer to snuggle and that's never something I'll turn down. I take pride in the fact that I am well educated in animal behavior and recognizing body language signals, which I heavily take into account when caring for a new friend. I am always more than happy to set aside time to personally meet your pet, take a bit of time to get to know them, and understand their boundaries and personality before entering their space. I also like to provide regular and frequent updates, with photos included, when caring for your pet. This allows me to be as communicative as possible while providing you the peace of mind to know that your fur baby is safe and happy. :)
“Abigail was awesome and I’m so happy my kitties loved her as much as she loved them. My shy one even came out to play which is a big deal!! Very responsive when I had random things come up and was very personable as well. Will definitely be using again!”
“Cailynn kept us so informed after her visits with Simon! I’ve only had him for a year and Simon is my first cat ever so I was nervous about leaving him. The updates and pictures gave me peace of mind that he was comfortable and taken care of. I will definitely be asking Cailynn to help me again!”
“Cori did a great job taking care of Mofli and Baboo. They seemed happy to see her, and Mofli is really shy. There is a bad windstorm when we were gone, and she took the initiative to check our house for any damages. Communication was excellent. We strongly recommend her!”
“Elise took great care of our 2 cats while we were away for a week! I mentioned we may not have cell service on our trip, and without asking she went out of her way to send shorter updates (in addition to the rover card) that I was able to receive with limited cell service. It’s obvious she really cares about what she does, and I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Sarah is by far my first choice when I need a pet sitter. I have used her services on several occasions. During that time, she stayed in communication with me, sent photos, kept my pet areas clean at home, and eliminated the stress of being away without my pet. Above all, Sarah is trustworthy and my pets love her. I would be happy to provide personal references upon request!”
“Laura treated our cats like family. She sent photos daily and the cats looked happy and comfortable around Laura. Her detailed daily notes gave me peace of mind and I especially appreciated her kindness and adaptability with my back and forth last minute change of plans. I hope she will come to my home again and watch our cats!”
“Disha was a great sitter for our two cats while we were out of town! Both of our girls warmed up to her quickly, even our shy cat. Would trust her with the care of our girls again next time we travel.”
“Lindsey lives up to her five star rating. She was prompt, took incredible care of our cat, and kept us updated on how he was doing. We can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“Krista did a wonderful job in taking care of our cat, Mr. Man, while we were on vacation!!! When we returned, Mr. Man was happy and healthy!!! Krista provided us with detailed Rover notes and great photos!!! It's so nice to have such reliable care for our cat when we are gone--it makes being away a bit less stressful. Krista also took care of our plants and checked on the house while we were away. A million thanks for everything, Krista!!!”

“Sara was available last minute for our dog which we really appreciated. She was great with him and sent us plenty of updates and photos. She was flexible with our schedule too. I highly recommend her!”
“Tia was a great puppy sitter for our Monty! She updated us throughout the day with videos. Monty was playful and happy. She took great care of our fur baby! Would definitely recommend her.”
“We had a great experience with Gretchen! We were in town for a wedding and looking for someone to come to our rental house and sit with our dog there. Even though this is not a standard dog-sitting situation, she was willing to accommodate us. Our pup was calm and content when we returned and everything worked out great.”
“Christy is great! She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and double checked instructions on care for my dog. My dog came back so happy and tired after her day with Christy. Would definitely recommend!”

About: Hi there! I work from home my two available days a week, which means your dog gets 24/7 companionship, frequent backyard potty breaks, and mid-day snuggles on the couch. I grew up with dogs, and I have experience with everything from puppies to seniors. I am experienced with medication administration, limited mobility, and managing separation anxiety. I also have experience with reactive and dog-selective dogs and keeping them safe and happy. I live right by Bird Park and in a very walkable neighborhood, and can accommodate 2-3 walks a day - but if your dog is happier cuddling/sleeping inside, that’s okay too! I’d like to match your dogs normal routine as much as possible and make sure they get as much play and rest time as they need. Your dog will be safe and happy with me! I currently work from home two days a week (Monday and Friday) so I will be available 24/7 on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I request that you give me your dogs normal schedule, and I will follow it exactly to make sure that they are comfortable and happy. I am available after 3pm Tuesdays through Thursdays. Your dog will be the only pet in my home, and my top priority! I require a meet and greet before boarding to ensure we are the right fit. I will keep you updated with daily pics of your pup. I have a large crate in case your dog is crate-trained, but as I work from home they will just be hanging with me on the couch or dog bed - wherever they are more comfortable. My home is clean and free from any hazards to your pup, and I will follow your exact household rules regarding feeding and anything else. My previous dog who has now crossed the rainbow bridge was reactive and dog-selective, so I am very experienced on keeping your dog safe while on walks and reading their body language. They will never be off-leash in an un-fenced area, and I will happily avoid any triggers that you make me aware of - just let me know!
“Alexis was very responsive during our "interview" stage and very pleasant upon arrival. Although prince was anxious to leave he seemed to be comfortable and safe and that's all that mattered. Thank you for being available.”
“Deanna could not have been better with my two dogs. My Malamute was getting jealous of any attention Deanna got from any other dog, including my Pomsky, and she handled it wonderfully. She, very obviously, loves dogs and knows how to handle them. Also, her dogs were wonderful.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have loved animals my entire life. I have been a pet sitter for many friends and neighbors over the years and had my own canine companion for 10 years. She passed away in November of 2023. Animals deserve to be loved and treated like family. I promise that your dogs will be treated very well and that they will truly enjoy their “vacation” at my home. It’s difficult to leave your “loved ones” in the care of others and I know that feeling. Rest assured that they will be cared for and spoiled to the best of my ability! I am a behavioral therapist who works with children and families. I have a hybrid job which means that I work from home doing Telehealth services and I also see clients in person at times. I am home for most of the day and this worked perfectly when I cared for my late dog, Arwen. I do not have any pets currently. I have an elevated deck that is only accessible from the house. It is surrounded and my dog loved to spend time out there basking in the sun. I have a yard but it is not fenced in. My neighborhood is quiet and very dog friendly.
“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of small animals since I was a kid. I was always the student who volunteered to take the class pet home for extended breaks from school. Some of the animals I cared for included leopard geckos, hamsters, and Guinea pigs! I have loved animals ever since 😊 Besides class pets, I grew up babysitting my Aunt’s dog, Oscar, whenever she went on vacation or needed some extra help. I got my first dog when I was 12 and he’s still living with us today. I am offering all services for small to medium sized dogs. I am relatively free for dog care through Rover as I work a part time job in my spare time. I also used to have a job at a doggy daycare so I have plenty of experience with dog behavior :) I can assure you that daily walks and cuddles with your pup fit into my schedule <3 We have one small dog named Gizmo who is a 9 year old Shih-tzu mix. He is super friendly as he loves both people and dogs! We do not have a fenced yard but we regularly take trips to the local dog park. Additionally, we have a fenced deck where the dogs can get some fresh air. I know it can be intimidating to leave your pet with a stranger. As such, I try to make everyone feel welcome. I assure you that I am dedicated to your pet’s safety and well-being and promise to care for your pet as if they were my own. They will become a part of the furry family for the duration of their stay ♥️
“Charlie took great care of my puppy during a daycare visit. She was very communicative, sent a really cute picture update, and was very sweet about him. I would definitely use Charlie's services again!”
“Maria is amazing at being a trustworthy, reliable, kind pet sitter! Her communication from the beginning has been stellar. She suggested we have a meet and greet, which went very well. Her dogs are so sweet and well trained and warmly welcomed my dog. Her son is so kind and loving and he also made my dog Bailey feel cherished. I was nervous about how my Bailey would do in a new environment since she and I are pretty attached to each other but she had a terrific fun day and Maria sent me several pictures and even a video which completely put me at ease. There’s no doubt the next time. I have a need that Maria will be who I contact!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and honestly just love being around them. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or staying with them while you’re away, I love making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved. Every dog has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know each one and treating them like they’re my own. 🐾🤍 🐾 Monday–Friday: Flexible availability throughout the day since I work remotely and can adjust my schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. 🐾 Weekends: Limited availability due to other work commitments, but feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate when possible. I know pets are family, so I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I follow their normal routine, give them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles, and make sure they’re happy in their own environment. I’ll also send updates and pictures because I know I’d want them too! 🐶🐾
“Laura and her son Jesse were the best with my puppy. She sent me pictures throughout the day to keep me updated and I could tell that they both gave him lots of love and attention. I felt very much at ease leaving my puppy with them while I worked. 1000 percent recommend!”
“Janet is an amazing dog care provider!! She genuinely love my dog like her own, and is very affectionate and attentive to him. She has been very flexible and accommodating when my schedule changes, and always has a positive disposition. She has proven 100% reliable and I am so grateful my dog and I have had the pleasure of getting to know her and her family.”
About: I have a lot of experience in caring for animals, because since childhood I had animals at home, I dreamed of being a veterinarian, but chose a different profession. I have two dogs and a cat. I treat animals like children, or better) Your pet will be happy with the time spent with me! I work from home and can take care of your baby in the evenings or on weekends. If within walking distance of my home, up to 3 times a day. I can coach base teams if desired, or just play, whatever you prefer and your dog likes, just tell and I will figure out ;)

“Wallis was very considerate to come and meet Murphy before our scheduled walk and visit. She was very dependable and came right on time to take Murphy out. I would definitely have her again”
“I’ve never had someone check on my dog in my home before. I am so glad I found Ashley and that she agreed to check in and walk my dog Kenya. I needed help last minute, and she agreed to walk my dog so quickly. She sent pictures and great updates about their walk and how Kenya did. I had peace of mind at work knowing that Kenya was getting her exercise and some affection. I will definitely continue to book with Ashley!!”
About: As someone who is always trying to live vicariously through dog owners, I have been a reliable and eager puppy and cat sitter since I was young - for friends, coworkers, neighbors, and extended family. I have experience and am comfortable feeding and exercising large and small dogs, puppies and seniors. I have always had cats, and have plenty of experience with administering oral medicines and asthma treatment. I am comfortable with cleaning messes, longterm stays, overnights, and honestly whatever else is needed during your time away. I would love to send pictures and updates of your pets as much as you would like them - your pets become main characters in my life within minutes of meeting them! I am your introverted, nurturing childless millennial that treats every animal with endless attention and love. As a speech-language pathologist, I also think that understanding animal communication and respecting boundaries are key. If your pet is showing me they need space, I will listen to them and make sure they are well fed, their needs are met and a soft presence is near. If they are showing me that they need more love and attention, I will stay and give them more love and attention! I can’t wait to meet your furry family. Right now, my schedule is wonderfully flexible. I’m a teacher on summer break and transitioning into a teletherapy position, so I have plenty of availability to care for your pets throughout the day. I believe pets are happiest when their routines stay as consistent as possible, so I make it a priority to learn each pet’s normal schedule, preferences, personality, and needs before their owner leaves. In a client’s home, I carefully follow feeding schedules, refresh water, clean litter boxes and outdoor areas as needed, administer medications when required, and make sure pets receive the exercise, enrichment, affection, and companionship they have when you’re home. I pay close attention to body language, behavior changes, appetite, energy levels, and overall well-being. As a speech-language pathologist, communication is a big part of my professional life, and I bring that same attentiveness to the animals in my care. I believe good pet care means respecting boundaries, recognizing needs, and responding appropriately to what an animal is communicating. I also love sending photos and updates, because I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is always to provide a safe, calm, loving environment and to care for your pets the same way I would hope someone would care for my own.
About: I've had cats for over 20 years, all of my adult life. I'm an expert at giving medications. I've also owned small and medium sized dogs. I subscribe to positive reinforcement training. I am independently bonded and insured. Please request more info if needed. I live in the heart of Dormont. Have experience with cats and small/medium dogs. I drive so no issues with transportation. My availability is open! I prefer to watch your pet(s) in your home. If you leave me a schedule, including food, treats, play, and walk times, I will stick to that precisely. I feel that pets not only need a routine, but they do much better in their own environment. If there's an emergency, I will be able to bring them to my home. Obviously communication will be key, and this is only for extenuating circumstances (if I feel they are unsafe due to unforeseen situations). My goal is to continue their established routine, so when you come home, there will be a smooth transition.
“It was our first time using Rover and Lindsey was an excellent companion and dog walker for our pit bull mix! Her report after each visit was thorough and usually included an extra anecdote about their time together and great pictures! Lindsey very concerned and asked for our advice when our dog wasn't eating much food when we initially left. We appreciated her initiative. When there was a big rain storm and they couldn't walk outside, Lindsey spent the time playing with our dog inside and gave him the attention and exercise that he needed. Overall a great experience and highly recommend Lindsey!”
“Jagger had a nice first walk/stroll with Lara. She communicated well and followed the tips we discussed at the meet and greet. He looks forward to their next walk. Thanks!”
About: I am a current kennel attendant at Camp Bow Wow and a volunteer at Kitty Queen Cat Rescue for many years! I have plenty of experience with all ages and breeds of animals! I am completely available outside of my doggie daycare schedule! It does change weekly, but I don’t mind squeezing your pets into my schedule! I am very well educated on the love and care that our furbabies need to thrive! I pride myself in my commitment to building a trust filled relationship with every animal I come across!
“Elise has walked our dog, Rocky, a few times now. We are so lucky to have found her! She is so caring and you can tell how much she loves animals. I can’t recommend her enough!!”
About: I am a young professional violinist based in Pittsburgh, and I have spent many breaks home from school dog-sitting around my neighborhood. Whether it‘s walks or giving pets, being around animals brings me so much joy and I would love to keep dog-sitting while I build my career as a musician. As a gigging musician, I have a flexible schedule based around performances, lessons, and auditions. My schedule can vary week to week, but I am almost always squeeze in walks and drop-ins according to my daily availability. My experience with sitting has included home-stays, dropping in multiple times a day, and just going for walks; I am comfortable with all of these options and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with dogs!
About: I’m not just someone who “likes dogs”. I grew up with a Golden Retriever, and I’ve taken care of many other breeds. I understand firsthand the daily care, attention, and love dogs truly need. From puppy energy to senior comfort, I’ve been around it all. I’ve also cared for larger, strong-willed breeds like a Rhodesian Ridgebacks and cane corsos…so I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and personalities. Whether your dog needs structure, patience, or just someone who can match their energy, I adapt to what they need. I treat every dog like they’re my own. I pay attention to routines, behavior changes, and making sure they feel safe, calm, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I have been a nurses aide and dog sitter for a few years. Needless to say, caretaking comes second nature to me. I work night shifts at my full time job and I need proper, timely booking requests to ensure I can dedicate time during the day to give your pets the care they need. With house-sitting, I will leave your home the way you left it. I will ensure that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well-fed. I will observe your pets closely. If I notice anything “off” about your pets, you will be notified immediately so that appropriate action is taken if needed.
“Kristin is a gem of a find. From the moment she walked into my house to have the meet and greet with my pup, she proved she is a pure dog lover. My pitbull mix loved her instantly and I know he’s in good, caring hands. I’d recommend Kristin 10 times out of 10 ✋🏻🤚🏻👉🏻”
About: I limit the number of pets so they get personalized love and attention. From shy senior cats to high-energy puppies, I have had and worked with all ages and needs. I provide frequent updates catered to the owner’s request. I like to build trust through consistence and long-term relationships so your pet sees a familiar face and is happy. I am retiring from teaching and will have a part time work-from-home job and will have plenty of time for love and cuddles with your pets. I walk several times a day so your dog (or walking cat), gets plenty of exercise. I have a fenced in covered patio so they get plenty of fresh air! Again, I walk several times a day, have a park at the end of my road, I have a fenced in patio and there is a dog park within walking distance of my home. If they ride well in a car, I will take them to a big park for walks and dog park socialization. I have had dogs since I was born and cats all of my adult life. I have watched many animals for friends, families, neighbors, etc. I have had rabbits, turtles, fish, iguanas as well. I have a special place in my heart for animals.

About: I have had a dog since I was 5 years old! I have taken care of my own dogs and others. I recently have taken care of cats, thanks to my friends who have them! I can walk, feed, take them outside and, if they get dirty, I can bath them! I have an extremely flexible schedule during the week and weekends to accommodate your busy schedule. Please allow me to work with you on a time that works best for us both! Rest assured that your furry baby is in capable hands and will be treated like family. I will ensure that your dog's well-being is my top priority. I'll create a safe and comfortable environment for your dog to thrive.
About: My childhood dog, Daisy, a Yorkie mix that I had for 17 years, was my best friend. As a child, I trained her, and as an adult, I had to make adjustments to her environment when her mobility, sight, and hearing became limited. That relationship instilled in me a lifelong love of dogs. I work full-time in development with a local nonprofit, but I have a flexible schedule that includes 2 remote days a week and free weekend availability. ***Please see my availability below before sending a booking request! Not seeing a date on my calendar or location range that works for you? Feel free to reach out, as I can update my calendar and travel distance if needed! Availability: Sunday - All day Monday - All day Tuesday - 6pm-10pm Wednesday 6pm-10pm Thursday - All day Friday 6pm-10pm Saturday - All day As a lifelong Pittsburgh resident and a Mt. Lebanon local for 7 years, I have extensive knowledge of dog-friendly areas and walking trails to support active dogs. As for senior dogs, I can also cater to their needs with less strenuous activities and one-on-one socialization at their own pace and comfort level. I also have personal pet sitter’s insurance, so you can book my services knowing that your pet will be in good hands.
“Elise has been very responsive and reliable. She arranged to come meet myself and my dog before his first scheduled walk. She gave me information about the walk, and provided a photo. We will absolutely continue to rely on Elise! She is super flexible as my schedule fluctuates often with my dog walking needs as well.”

They kept me updated with photos throughout her stay, which gave me tremendous peace of mind, and they even took her on a nature hike so she could enjoy some time outdoors. It's clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. I highly recommend Amanda's services and wouldn't hesitate to trust them with Onyx again!”
“We were leaving on an extended vacation and needed someone to take care of our dog Remy, and Sebastian was amazing! He gave us frequent updates and sent us pictures throughout our trip which helped ease our anxiety about being separated from our girl for so long! Communication was fantastic and most importantly Remy was happy - cannot recommend Sebastian enough!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Jacqueline took such great care of our mini Goldendoodle, Lolo, while we were away on vacation. From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in good hands. We got daily updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind. Our doggo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can trust—this was truly above and beyond. Highly recommend and will absolutely book again!”
“Tamara was an excellent sitter for my little dog! I will definitely book her in the future! I'm not sure my dog even wanted to come home. She was comfortable there from the get go! Tamara also went above and beyond when my dog grabbed a chicken bone thrown in the grass.”
“Adam was great. He watched Sammy for 4 nights along with another dog in his apartment. He is clearly a dog lover and took the doggos on plenty of long walks, including a 5.5 miler with some of his friends. He sent me cute and funny pics multiple times a day to keep me posted on everything. Very pleasant and easy to coordinate with, and followed all of my instructions. Highly recommend him to others, and look forward to hiring him again in the future! Thanks Adam!”
About: As a veterinary technician, caring for animals is both my career and my passion. I’ve provided pet sitting for friends and family for many years, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs. My veterinary background means I’m comfortable recognizing signs of illness, administering medications (if needed), and caring for senior pets or those with special medical needs. I also have extensive experience with exotic pets, including birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles, and other small animals, so you can feel confident your unique family members are in knowledgeable hands. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience while you’re away. One of the things that sets me apart is my ability to care for both traditional pets and exotic species. Whether you have a dog, cat, bird, rabbit, guinea pig, reptile, or another small companion animal, you can trust they’ll receive experienced, compassionate care. With life long experience of 10+ years. Pet care easily fits into my routine, and I make it a priority to give every pet the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration, or simply keeping your pet company, I’m committed to maintaining their normal routine. I’ll also provide regular photo and video updates, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a veterinary technician, your pet’s health, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. Before every stay, I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any medical or behavioral needs. I’m experienced administering medications, caring for senior and special-needs pets, and recognizing signs of illness or stress. I also have extensive experience caring for exotic pets, including birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles, and other small animals. As both a veterinary professional and an exotic pet owner, I understand that these pets require specialized knowledge and individualized care. My home is a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment. My two friendly dogs have been raised around guinea pigs, birds, reptiles, farm animals, and cats from a young age. They are calm, respectful, and do not bother other animals, making my home a comfortable environment for pets who are a good fit for boarding. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll treat them like family. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, provide plenty of love and enrichment, and send regular photo and video updates so you always know how they’re doing.
About: I have cared for my own animals my whole life and have just recently said goodbye to my dog of 15 years. Though my family is not ready quite yet for another member, we miss having a dog in the house and would love to help care for yours! I love all animals, but have always had a special place in my heart for dogs. I work full time, but am fortunate enough to have the flexibility to work from home when needed so your furry pals will not go long stretches without love and attention! Our yard is partially fenced, however we have a lead for dogs outside, as well as the equipment and precautions to keep your pets safe if needed like crates, gates, etc. Our two cats are very friendly and good with dogs. They do spend most of their time on the second floor, so your pet would have free rein of our first floor!
“Our experience with Adrienne was excellent! She was incredibly kind, professional, and clearly cared so much about our dog. Throughout the stay, she sent lots of updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind and made us feel connected the whole time. It was clear from every message and photo that our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Her communication was outstanding, and she went above and beyond to make sure both we and our pup had a great experience. We truly appreciated her warmth, attentiveness, and reliability. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
About: Hi!! My name is Taylor, and I am a very passionate animal lover:) I have two Frenchies and am an experienced foster Mom through East Coast Bulldog Rescue. I own a local cleaning company, and the best part of my job is all the pets I get to see! I grew up with cats and absolutely adore them. I am experienced with animals with medical needs, senior pets, I can administer any and all medication, and am not scared of a lengthy specific routine:) I am a brachycephalic dog specialist, so any dog or cat is in good hands with me. I treat every animal like they are my own, so cuddles and attention are to be expected when your pet is in my care. I own a local business, but due to my amazing employees I work 5 hours a week or less. Animals are my life, so a typical day for me revolves around hanging out with my pups and relaxing on our balcony/playing with their toys/going for walks! I live in a big two story home, but have fences at the stairs to prevent any pups going up or down unattended. I do not have a fenced in yard, but my next door neighbor does (they have no kids or pets), and I have full access to that yard. I live in a very walkable neighborhood, and love to push my pups in their stroller in the evenings! If I am staying in your home, I will adhere to any and all restrictions or safety practices you have in place for your pets.
“Veronica is wonderful. She updated me daily even with photos. Took great care of my Dock. She has a great fenced in backyard for the dogs to run and play. I highly recommend her and will be using her again.”
“Laura is very pet friendly. She cares very deeply about making sure your pet has as nice of a stay as possible. My cat recently stayed with her twice, and she did such a great job taking care of my cat. I would highly recommend her”
