“Melissa did a wonderful job caring for our dog Sadie! She made us feel very comfortable that she was in good hands! Every day she sent us multiple updates & pictures of her. She treated her like one of her own! Highly recommend Melissa!”

“Johanna was absolutely excellent with my pup Mia. She kept me updated everyday by sending pictures and videos. Her dog Stella is very sweet and playful. She became to be a friend with my dog instantly. I enjoyed watching their play videos thanks to Johanne. We’ll definitely see Johanne again very soon.”

“Lindsay was so kind and caring - she went above and beyond to make our doggy Cricket feel safe and secure on the first night that she stayed with her. Lindsay kept us updated with texts, pictures, and a video. Cricket had so much fun at her house! And, Lindsay was able to accommodate our last minute boarding request. This was a wonderful experience for all of us!”

“Jennifer was great with Bobo my 8 year old Australian Shepherd. Her huge backyard was completely fenced so I had the great sense of safety that Bobo would not escape & get hit by a car. Jennifer sent me pictures & updates every day & I could tell he was comfortable & happy. I will certainly use Jennifer any time I need to leave town. I highly recommend her…”

“Crystal was fantastic for my pup who needs to be the only dog in the house. She was very kind and sent photographs and updates every day of our trip. She accommodated all of his emotional needs as well as physical.”

“Augusta was great! My dog is always happy to see her. I even had a flight cancelation and was late picking my dog up and Augusta was completely understanding and flexible.”

“Carol took great care of our puppy, Max, for about a week while we were on vacation. She was wonderful! Max seemed so happy in all the videos and pictures Carol shared. I think Max actually misses being there and having more friends to play with! Carol is easy to communicate with and was very flexible and accommodating.”

“Kristina was amazing with Lincoln! He was very nervous and shy at first but she did amazing with him. She sent updates and pictures over the weekend so we could stay updated with how he was doing.”

“Steve was amazing with our dog, Winnie. This was our first trip without her, and without Steve, I definitely would’ve been worrying about her and how she was doing. Instead, we got daily updates showing Winnie living her absolute best life and getting completely spoiled. Honestly, our only concern by the end was whether she’d want to come home. Steve is clearly an animal lover and just a cool person. If you want your dog to have an awesome vacation of their own, book with Steve.”

“Our dog Taylor had another great weekend stay with Andrew and Karen! Andrew sent us lots of updates with photos and videos. Will be using them again soon for our week long vacation.”


“Jessica has a wonderful personality. The moment i met her, i knew she would be the right fit for Lucee ( my retriever). Her son is gentle and adorable. Jessica was good about sending me pictures daily and giving me updates on Lucee's day. She has 4 dogs of her own that are also friendly and calm. She will be taking are of Lucee every time i am out of town.”
“Emily took excellent care of my Barkley while I was traveling for a family wedding. Barkley was dealing with some seasonal allergies, and Emily sent me updates daily to let me know how he was feeling. He needed to take some medications and supplements during his stay, and Emily did a great job providing those, as needed. This was Barkley's first visit, and he enjoyed exploring the fenced yard and spending time with Emily's dogs. It was nice to know that Barkley was well cared for while I was away!”

“Beatriz was absolutely amazing! My dog Athena had the best weekend with her, she sent plenty of amazing pictures and Athena looked so happy and was wagging her tail in every one. She also made Athena the cutest bandana and sent us home with her favorite treats! If I could give her 10 stars I would, I’m so happy I was able to trust that my dog would be well taken care of and loved while we were away, we will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to everyone!”

“Took great care of Khoda; Spent time with him, took him for walks, kept me updated daily with photos of him, he definitely did not want to come back home lol Thank you again for taking care of my dog and ensuring his attention-needs were met. I'll definitely be in contact for future trips/vacations, I know he can't wait to come back and see his human and dog friends again!”

“such an amazing animal caretaker. very responsive, diligent, and sincere when it came to the care of our animals. i would highest recommend her if you’re thinking of someone to check in on your pets!”


“Hailey did a wonderful job visiting our 3 cats while we were on vacation! She communicated with us what was happening with them, sent pictures, and even helped bring in our mail and packages and water our outdoor plants! My mind was at ease while vacationing that our home and pets were taken care of. I would definitely recommend her for your pets needs!!”

“Cristina was fantastic and super professional! She provided great photos and updates of our cat everyday we were gone. She took great care of our boy and successfully gave his oral medication daily. I would highly recommend Cristina and I will definitely work with her again in the future!”

“Even though we only needed him for one day, we are very pleased with the service he provided to our two kitties. Flynn and Izzy, being true scaredy-cats, ran and hid under our bed as soon as he arrived. Gary then cleaned out the litter, fed them, and checked on their water. He stuck around for a little while to see if the cats would come out of their hiding places. They do not normally come out from there when anyone is at the house. But Flynn eventually came out to the living room to investigate! Izzy popped out of the bedroom, but kept her distance at the end of hallway. Gary got pictures of both and sent them to us, relieving our fears that the kitties would be terrified. Thank you, Gary, for your patience with them. We truly appreciate it.”


“Becky was wonderful! Our kitties were very happy to see her each day and she communicated reports to us quickly. She was also so kind to bring our mail in while we were away. Would definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”


About: I have been taking care of our dogs since I was little. I love helping out friends and neighbors with their pets when they are out of town! I am currently working as a part time intern only 20 hours a week, so I have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pets! I take care of my pets at home all the time.

“Kayla was great with watching our pups while we were gone for the weekend. They love her and she did a great job with communicating and sending pics while she was at our house. I would definitely recommend Kayla!”

“Sarah was absolutely wonderful!!!! I have an older cat who gets very confused when we leave and usually don’t come downstairs. He loved Sarah she was so kind with him and she even took care of our son’s goldfish he had won! If you are looking for someone to trust with your fur babies it is Sarah!!!!”
About: I come from a house where pets are treated like family members. From bunnies to horses, Ive had experience with many. I can also administer medication.

I have a fenced backyard where they spend some time and a door that connects to my office so they can choose when to be inside or outside.
“Olivia is great and very accommodating! I asked for her help last minute and she didn’t hesitate to step up. I have 2 cats and they both love her. I know she also has a pet dog of her own and has had pet cats as well. She is a natural with animals and we appreciated her help.”

About: My name is Darcy and I am a single Mom of 3 older girls , 3 dogs, and a very large boa! We are an animal loving family!

“Have met and used Emily several times with great results. Happy to answer all the good questions she asks and never thought to ask ourselves. Very nice young lady, clearly enjoys spending time with our fur babies and understands their needs. Would highly recommend.”

About: Over the course of my life, I’ve owned seven different types of pets, from horses to cats and dogs and others in between! This pet care experience that started in early childhood has led me to appreciate, understand, and know how to handle different furry family members’ personalities. In addition, I have pet at for various families in my community, all of whom had various pets with different needs and temperaments. It would be my honor to care for your pet and give them the treatment they deserve as part of your family. I am currently a college student with a fairly flexible schedule, with availability throughout different parts of the day. I am able to provide pet care throughout most days of the week in general! I am willing to abide by and uphold any of your standard practices for your pet! The last thing I’d like to do is disrupt your pet schedule or routine, so I will do everything in my ability to follow your standards to the letter.

About: Animals have been a passion of mine my entire life! I have owned and loved cats and dogs of all ages and sizes since I was 10. I would love to show that same love to your babies, too! I am available to do in-house stays, walking, play dates, and much more! I work full-time, but work from home so that makes it easy for me to care for your furry friend. My weekends are usually filled with playing with my puppies, but I would love to make time for your pets to join us for walks or play dates! I have a fenced in yard and an open floor plan home that allows for plenty of room to play, rain or shine. I live on a quiet street that makes walking your pet a breeze. All doors remain shut in my home to ensure no nosy pups can get in to things that they should not. I am big on taking pictures and can keep you updated on the status of your pet to ensure you feel comfortable with leaving your pet in my care!
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 11. I helped my parents raise 2 puppies and now I've raised my own! I know basic training skills to the extent of what the internet has taught me, but when it comes to the care of dogs, I have a full lifetime's experience. I work full time, however I love animals and am more than happy to drop in, or even walk after. I am also capable of being home full time if there is a boarding request If you ask me to take your baby for a few days in my home, with your permission I’d be more then happy to take them on a nice long walk or hike too! I have a dog of my own, an Aussiedoodle who loves everyone and everything. So just keep that in mind when booking with me!
About: Hello! I’m Emma! I run my own dog sitting business as well as rover! I have many years of animal care including almost a year at a boarding kennel and animal rescue that I volunteered for. I have trained multiple puppy’s so if you also need training advice or just a training session please let me know! I will leave your house at the end of the day with a photo sent to you of your babies and a smile on your face! I currently work a twilight shift so I am available anytime after 11am to spend time with your fur babies when you’re away at work or vacation! My first priority is making sure that the fur baby is comfortable with me before I fully enter the home. If you need a stop-in visit I will make sure their special instructions have been completed (as in full water and food or any medications needed)
“Carol has been very responsive and has taken in our girl Georgie. Georgie is a little timid and backwards at first, but Carol made her feel right at home. Georgie took to her welcoming, home environment and settled right in. She gets along great with the other babies being baby/dog sat, and Carol is very good with her. We will be using Carol in 2025!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life.

With being home I have all the time in the world to dedicate to your fur babies. We love adventures like playing in the fenced in yard, throwing ball and going on long walks. Of course there is always love and cuddle time scheduled in with us too We bought our house for our yard! Lots of room for playing outside in the safety of not having to worry about your pets roaming off. We have a crate available for dogs who need it and are crate trained. Of course only if the owner request will they be in it.
About: I’ve grown up with animals and have ALWAYS had a special place in my heart for them. I have worked in boarding facilities for dogs and cats and currently have 2 overly spoiled dogs I try to take everywhere with me, and 1 cat who runs the household. I know how hard it is to leave them behind and always be sure they are in the best, most loving care possible. I have work from home capability to tend to your best friend 24/7! No amount of potty breaks are too many and there are no time restrictions on feedings. I have a fenced in yard out back and 2 friendly dogs for your fur baby to keep company. I have a play pen for smaller dogs if necessary.
About: I absolutely love spending time with furry friends! I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, and even some shy rescues. I enjoy taking dogs for long walks, playing fetch at the park, and giving all the belly rubs they deserve. I’m responsible, punctual, and make sure each pet gets personalized attention and affection while you’re away. I’m currently a college student with a flexible class schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with pets throughout the week. I usually have mornings and evenings free, perfect for walks, playtime, and cuddles. Taking care of animals is a great way for me to relax and recharge between classes—it honestly makes my day better! I make sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I live just a short walk away from a beautiful dog park where pets can get plenty of safe, supervised outdoor time. I always keep dogs on a leash during walks and pay close attention to their comfort and behavior. At home, I have two super friendly resident pets who love meeting new friends and are great at helping other pets feel relaxed and welcome. I keep my space clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with lots of cozy spots for rest and play. Your furry friend will be treated just like family here! 🐶💛

“Beatriz was amazing!!! She was so willing to help us in a bind for a last minute booking and we are so glad we met her! We have 2 chihuahua mixes; one is very anxious and can be a handful sometimes. He is quite fearful of new people, animals, and places. Within minutes of us dropping the dogs off, Beatriz texted me photos of both dogs playing in a pack with others and even snuggling up with her soaking up the attention! It was amazing. She is so patient and kind. Truly someone we would certainly trust with our dogs again!”

About: I've had a strong passion for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family relied on me to care for our dogs, cats, and hamsters. I now live in my own home with 4 cat children. I have dog-sat and cat-sat for several neighbors. I am very experienced at dog and cat walking, bathing, feeding, and medicine-giving. During the week I work as a full time engineer and cat mom. On the weekends, I have plenty of free time to hang out, play in the yard, or go for walks with your pet. In my home, I have 4 cats of varying ages (1 yr, 3 yrs, 4 yrs, 6yrs). They are friendly and well-adapted to other dogs and cats. They often have playdates with my parent's 16 year old cat and 7 month old kitten. Each of my cats are vaccinated, neutered, and love making new friends! In your home, I will accommodate any requests you may have. I will ensure the safety and happiness of your pet above all else.

About: While I am currently unemployed and staying at my parents home, our family dog (Havanese) of 17 years recently passed away in February 2026. Now that my mother is retiring this summer, we wish to fill the empty home, and our combined newly gained free time, with some furry friends! For in-home boarding we will be a mother-son team with pretty wide open schedules to care for our furry guests, and will provide a great big house and yard in a great pet-friendly neighborhood for them to enjoy! I can also sit at your home if that is more convenient for you and the pet. My parents dog recently passed away at the age of 17. While I was living with them I helped to raise and care for her throughout the years. I thankfully and gratefully have always had dogs to care for throughout my entire life, from as a young child all the way to just recently with the passing of our most recent dog in February 2026. Your pet will have our full attention and their health and happiness will be the priority. We don't live very busy lives and have lots of extra free time now to care for them.
About: Although this account is under my name, this is a team effort with my wife. We’re a young, energetic couple who have all the time and patience your pup deserves. A fully fenced yard out back provides a great place for playtime, and there’s always a spot on the couch to hang out with us. We have raised rates due to high demand going into the summer. If you’re a returning client, please reach out and if there are any issues with cost, we can work something out. I work a 9-to-5 schedule from home and I tend to spend a lot of my free time there as well. My wife is also home most of the day, so we have plenty of time throughout the week to give your dog the attention they need! My fully fenced yard, quiet house and neighborhood are perfect for dogs who are looking to relax on their vacation, but I have plenty of energy to walk and play with them too. Your dog will be hosted by our Bernedoodle, Finn, who loves making new friends.
“Steve was a big help so we could have peace of mind that Maive was being well cared for while we where visiting In the east Pittsburgh area. Big fenced in yard! We had to change the drop off time and Steve always quick to respond, would definitely use his dog sitting services again.”

About: I’ve lived with all sizes of dogs throughout my life, and I’ve been close to every one of them. I also have an older cat who receives just as much love every day! I’m a university student, so my evenings after 3pm are usually wide open in the spring and fall. On weekends or during summer, I can do any time of day! My home is not available for pet sitting, so I’m happy to walk dogs in your neighborhood or visit your pet in the safety of your own home! I’m okay with any range of attention-demanding pets and antisocial pets. I’m happy to feed your pets, play with them, walk them, or just keep an eye on them.
“Nugget can be particular with people so it really doesn’t it my mind at ease that he seems so happy with her. Amazing job her updates were very thorough! Definitely would hire her again”
“I highly recommend Kelly for dog walking. She is incredibly reliable, always arriving right on time. I really appreciated her consistent communication, which kept me at ease while I was away.”

About: I started caring for animals at age 4 when I began riding and working at a barn with 25 horses. At age 14, I began my first job at a pet grooming and boarding facility. At 19, I began pet sitting for families on my summers home from college. Animals have always been a big part of my life and I enjoy spending my time with them. I have cared for animals of all ages, so I am equipped with the knowledge to handle seniors, babies, and everyone in between. I have also cared for animals of all sizes, so I am able to handle animals from hamsters to horses. I have had years of experience administering medicine both orally and through injection. My experience allows me to notice details that keep animals safe, happy, and well cared for. I work a part time job working with kids. I am at that job from 8:30am-1:30pm Monday-Friday. In the evening, I go to the gym for an hour or two. I am a homebody, so if I’m not at work or in the gym, I will be spending all my time with your pet, giving them the attention and love that they deserve. I love spending time outside, so I try to take pets on walks or have them run around outside with me when I can. If our time cannot be spent outside, playtime is brought inside. We play until one of us needs to take a breather (usually the pet wins). During the evening, generally I spend quality time cuddling with pets while watching a movie or doing some schoolwork. I like taking pictures with pets to send to owners so they know their fur baby is well taken care of and happy.

About: I have been taking care of our dogs since I was little. I love helping out friends and neighbors with their pets when they are out of town! I am currently working as a part time intern only 20 hours a week, so I have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pets! I take care of my pets at home all the time. I feed them, take them outside to play, and take them on walks when possible. I am fully capable of anything you need me to do for your pets!
“Gary has been friendly and easy-going. Will definitely book again. I appreciate the attention to detail he gives each of the dogs and their walking/feeding habits. Thanks very much!”


“Had a last minute same day request for our 6 month old puppy Zari! Rebecca responded immediately and was able to accommodate the drop in/walk visit! Communication was excellent. We will be utilizing her again in the future.”

About: I come from a house where pets are treated like family members. From bunnies to horses, Ive had experience with many. I can also administer medication. I have my own organic dog treats business and I will take care of your babies as I do my own! I am currently working a full-time from home with my pups. I have a big fenced backyard where the dogs can have some outdoor time and we love going for walks. I have two small dogs that are very friendly and a doberman!

I have a fenced backyard where they spend some time and a door that connects to my office so they can choose when to be inside or outside.
About: I have loved animals since I was a small child. I got my first cat over 15 years ago and still love her dearly. My parents wouldn’t allow me to have a dog so I had to wait until I moved out when I was 20. After buying my house I rescued my neighbors dog that was permanently locked up in an outdoor kennel. Unfortunately she already had Lyme disease so it was for less than a year that I was able to give her a good quality of life. I then adopted my ex-coworkers German Shepard who was 5. Unfortunately despite all my efforts to have her live longer than her lifespan I lost her years later due to paralyzing seizures. Not too long after that I sold my house and have not been stable enough to get another dog due to my constant traveling. I love dogs and want to have another but can’t make a life long commitment at this time. However I can make a day/week/month long commitment to take care of your loved dog. It would be a pleasure to take care of your fur baby/babies. I work from home so I’m only gone for a couple/few hours out of the day to go to the gym and maybe grocery shop. I frequently go on walks when the weather permits and would love to bring your dog with me. If you have a dog who pulls as hard as they can I do prefer that you have a gentle leader. I am available all days and times when I am not traveling. I have a large yard at the end of a cul-de-sac in a nice neighborhood. I do have two cats who have lived with dogs before. If watching your loved pet I ask for details on what your expectations are to insure that you are 100 percent satisfied with my care for your fur baby.
About: I recently relocated from Johnstown to McKeesport and am looking forward to meeting all the new pups in the area! I have been dog sitting for the past few years now and absolutely love it! My family has always had dogs since I can remember. I got my first dog, Ruby, named after the children’s show Max and Ruby, when I was 4 years old. I have loved caring for dogs ever since. Ruby is even still kicking at 18 years old! I now have a second dog, a 2 year old Husky who loves to play. I’ve trained many dogs, older and puppies since I can remember. I also have a lot of experience with elderly dogs, Ruby being a prime example. We go on walks often and I have basic dog training experience. I work part-time fully from home. I make my own schedule for work so I am completely flexible. The only time I ever leave the house is to take my dogs somewhere, dog park, hiking trail, etc. I am available every day and do same day bookings so feel free to reach out whenever you need! My dogs are very friendly and love other dogs. We also have 2 cats that play with our dogs as well. I have a fully fenced in yard to give your fur baby plenty of room to run around freely and play.
About: I have experience in puppy obedience training and leash training, oral medication administration, experience handling dogs of all ages and sizes, especially with caring for stubborn dogs. Also I am very familiar with taking care of pups with anxiety or different fears. I am a full time student at Boston University, but have long breaks throughout my day where I could care for nearby pets in need of attention or walks, meaning lunchtime check ins or walks work particularly well with my schedule. I am happy to follow any preferences you have for pet care, including crating your dog (I have extensive experience crate training an unruly giant schnauzer puppy), leash preferences, and feeding schedules. I typically bring water bowls and extra water for my dogs on walks to keep them feeling their best and treats to keep them engaged (treat type depending on what your dog typically eats).
About: Hi! Some things you might like to know about me: I’m a wife, I love animals (obviously) the outdoors, gardening, reading, history and I’m a nurse who graduated from Saint Vincent college - I could be a great fit for you and your pet! I’ve had many growing up: dogs, cats, goats, chickens and bunnies. I’m very comfortable with caring for animals and have experience with all different kinds from my own pets, friends, and animal shelter volunteering. I’m also open to watch and care for any other types of pets that might not fit the category of cat or dog! Message me so we can discuss! As a nurse, I only work 3 days per week! Typically one time or “on occasion” jobs work best, and attending 2x daily might not be possible if it’s on a day that i work and my 3 days that I work vary from week to week. However, please reach out anyways to see if this could be a perfect fit! I’d love to see what i could do. I’m a very responsible and organized person, so I could safely play with your dog(s) or cat(s) in your home or around the neighborhood. Being a nurse has made me much more aware and attentive of needs such as fresh water availability, food, safety and happiness for both people and animals!

I'm currently available on weekends, with Fridays most preferred. I work fulltime Monday through Thursday so at the moment those days are going to remain unavailable. I believe respect for animals, owners, and their environment to be super important. I adhere to any rules and guidelines when entering a client's home and I work to provide my client's pet with my utmost attention and full energy. I am down for taking pets on walks, playing with them till they wear themselves out, feeding and cleaning up after them, and anything else they might need.
About: I have been surrounded by all kinds of animals growing up: dogs, cats, bunnies, even reptiles so I absolutely love animals! I have experience with all kinds of dog breeds like pitbulls, english mastiffs, german shepards, and of course the smaller guys! I’ve always trained my own dogs. I have taken care of friends’ and family’s dogs since I was 14, but I have never been without a dog my whole life! I’m currently a college student studying nursing, so I have clinical until 3:00pm on Mondays and class until 12:00pm on Thursdays. Other than that I’m pretty available throughout the week and flexible on weekends, so I have plenty of time to care for your dogs! I currently live in dorms so I don’t offer boarding. But I would love to play with your dog inside/outside of your house for drop-in’s and walks!
About: Hello! I’m Emma! I run my own dog sitting business as well as rover! I have many years of animal care including almost a year at a boarding kennel and animal rescue that I volunteered for. I have trained multiple puppy’s so if you also need training advice or just a training session please let me know! I will leave your house at the end of the day with a photo sent to you of your babies and a smile on your face! I currently work a twilight shift so I am available anytime after 11am to spend time with your fur babies when you’re away at work or vacation! My first priority is making sure that the fur baby is comfortable with me before I fully enter the home. If you need a stop-in visit I will make sure their special instructions have been completed (as in full water and food or any medications needed)

“Lindsay was so kind and caring - she went above and beyond to make our doggy Cricket feel safe and secure on the first night that she stayed with her. Lindsay kept us updated with texts, pictures, and a video. Cricket had so much fun at her house! And, Lindsay was able to accommodate our last minute boarding request. This was a wonderful experience for all of us!”

“Jennifer was great with Bobo my 8 year old Australian Shepherd. Her huge backyard was completely fenced so I had the great sense of safety that Bobo would not escape & get hit by a car. Jennifer sent me pictures & updates every day & I could tell he was comfortable & happy. I will certainly use Jennifer any time I need to leave town. I highly recommend her…”

“Crystal was fantastic for my pup who needs to be the only dog in the house. She was very kind and sent photographs and updates every day of our trip. She accommodated all of his emotional needs as well as physical.”

“Kristina was amazing with Lincoln! He was very nervous and shy at first but she did amazing with him. She sent updates and pictures over the weekend so we could stay updated with how he was doing.”

“Steve was amazing with our dog, Winnie. This was our first trip without her, and without Steve, I definitely would’ve been worrying about her and how she was doing. Instead, we got daily updates showing Winnie living her absolute best life and getting completely spoiled. Honestly, our only concern by the end was whether she’d want to come home. Steve is clearly an animal lover and just a cool person. If you want your dog to have an awesome vacation of their own, book with Steve.”

“Our dog Taylor had another great weekend stay with Andrew and Karen! Andrew sent us lots of updates with photos and videos. Will be using them again soon for our week long vacation.”

“Emily took excellent care of my Barkley while I was traveling for a family wedding. Barkley was dealing with some seasonal allergies, and Emily sent me updates daily to let me know how he was feeling. He needed to take some medications and supplements during his stay, and Emily did a great job providing those, as needed. This was Barkley's first visit, and he enjoyed exploring the fenced yard and spending time with Emily's dogs. It was nice to know that Barkley was well cared for while I was away!”

“Took great care of Khoda; Spent time with him, took him for walks, kept me updated daily with photos of him, he definitely did not want to come back home lol Thank you again for taking care of my dog and ensuring his attention-needs were met. I'll definitely be in contact for future trips/vacations, I know he can't wait to come back and see his human and dog friends again!”


“Adisyn took care of our 48 pound hound mix for a week while my family was on vacation, and we felt really good about it the whole time. Our dog took to her right away during our meet-and-greet, Adisyn seems very sweet and to really enjoy dogs. She has a lovely fenced in backyard for her dog and ours to run around in, which was a big plus for us. It feels good to have a future pup sitter we trust!”

About: I’ve grown up with animals and have ALWAYS had a special place in my heart for them. I have worked in boarding facilities for dogs and cats and currently have 2 overly spoiled dogs I try to take everywhere with me, and 1 cat who runs the household. I know how hard it is to leave them behind and always be sure they are in the best, most loving care possible. I have work from home capability to tend to your best friend 24/7! No amount of potty breaks are too many and there are no time restrictions on feedings. I have a fenced in yard out back and 2 friendly dogs for your fur baby to keep company. I have a play pen for smaller dogs if necessary.
“I LOVED Tara! I am a sitter here on Rover but found myself needing a sitter for my own dogs outside of my home and boy am I lucky to have found Tara. She was very thorough with our meet and greet that made me feel very comfortable about my dogs stay with her. I had my two dogs stay for three days while I got married. Tara understood how busy I would be but made sure to send me a few quick updates about my dogs so I could know they were doing well. She also made sure to tell me that she didn't expect a reply so I could easily see the update and continue on enjoying my wedding day/festivities knowing my dogs were in good hands. My dogs came back happy and healthy and I will definitely be using Tara again when I need another sitter!”


“Coralee takes care of our two dogs during the holidays and treats them like part of the family! We are so grateful to have such a kind, reliable caretaker for our fur babies while we are out of town”

“I cannot praise Brittany enough for the love and care that she showed Snoop whilst we were on vacation. From the first moment she met him, we knew he would be in good hands. He came back to us clean, well fed and happy as can be. We will definitely keep her in mind for any future stays.”

“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.”

“Erin was an excellent sitter for my nervous Bijou. She was extremely patient with her and respected her space. The whole trip Erin sent me updates and pictures on a regular basis, which soothed my own personal separation anxiety.”
