“Janette and her family are so sweet and obviously love taking care of dogs. They welcomed my puppy into their home right along side their adorable three dogs and three kids. He had tons of space to run around outside, a puppy pool to splash around in, and a safe place inside for his crate so he could get some sleep overnight. They sent me pictures and an update during his stay, and told me all about how he did when I picked him up. He came home tired, happy, and clean - what more could I ask for?”
“Jennifer saved us with a last minute booking and it was a great experience for our pup. We will definitely book with her again. She kept us posted with updates and pics. Easy meet and greet because she only takes 1 animal at a time and does not have a pup, so I didn't need to worry about Sully getting along with another pup. Such a relief and peace of mind.”
“Alexa is great at what she does! My pup Nathan had a wonderful time and was very well taken care of. Alexa provided plenty of updates (including photos) and was fantastic about keeping track of and administering his allergy medication. 10/10 would recommend”
“Sarah was super sweet, and my little girlie had a blast playing with the other very nice dogs during the day. Sarah even stayed in the room with her when she had anxiety at night which is just so kind. I know that Matilda enjoyed the large outdoor areas to run and explore! Thank you, Sarah!”
“I had a great experience with Amanda. She was very friendly and communicative and conscientious. She is a very large, beautiful yard for the dogs to play. She also sent updates and photos.. I would highly recommend her.”
“Chonlada was amazing with our little girl! She sent tons of pictures and was very communicative the entire weekend our bulldog was with her. Penny came home and slept for 24 hours straight after having such a fun time!”
“Joel is prompt to respond. My dog can be uncomfortable meeting new people and dogs. Joel has a keen understanding of dog behavior and uses lots of positive reinforcement. He handles greetings, meal times, and playtime in a professional manner. I felt comfortable leaving my anxious dog in his care and my dog quickly warmed up to him, his wife, and his dogs.”
“Tiffany was wonderful to my dog Tucker. He really appeared to enjoy his stay with her and her dog Penny. Tiffany's response time was so quick and the daily updates / pictures were wonderful. I really felt Tucker was in good hands. Thank you!”
“Melissa is a very special pet sitter!! Our dog had a hard first couple days trying to settle in as it was only his second time in someone else’s home over night. She went above and beyond to help him feel comfortable. I received lots of pictures of Winston doing his favorite things! I know that he was well taken care of with Melissa!”
“The ladies have been to Jim’s for 2 separate long weekends!! Amazing dude with a true gift of dog connection!! The ladies have never been away from home and they get right in the car to go back!! THANKS Jim”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Manu and Dhruv! They took great care to make sure Liam felt safe and comfortable, he’s normally very shy but based on our photos he felt at home right away! We received so many great photos and it was clear Manu and Dhruv truly prioritize your dog’s happiness while in their care. I’m so glad Liam could spend a weekend with an incredible family! Would absolutely recommend them to anyone and Liam will certainly see them again.”
“William and Kristen are true dog people- loving, caring and sensitive to your furry family member’s needs. They were prompt in getting back to us and kept us posted with pics and fun comments. Asha seemed very “at home” in the their home when I picked her up. Thx guys for treating our pup like one of your own!!”
“Alyssa took great care of our beautiful Lilly. Lilly was a bit anxious the first night, but Alyssa made her comfortable and even slept on the couch next to Lilly's bed. Thanks to Alyssa's patience, Lilly slept soundly in her bed in Alyssa's room on the 3rd night. Lilly loved Alyssa and I'm sure she'll be happy to return to Alyssa's care when needed. Alyssa provided updates several times a day and responded to any of my messages in a very timely fashion. I would recommend Alyssa to anyone as I can tell that she lovingly cared for our big girl the same as we do.”

“Molly did a great job watching our cats, making sure that they were fed and happy. Lots of update photos, and easy scheduling. I would recommend her to anyone needing a hand with their pets!”
“Amanda and Joe did an amazing job taking care of our kitties. I got pictures every day they visited and updates on how each cat was doing while they were there. They even got our super shy cat to come out of her shell a bit after a couple visits. I will definitely be using them again!”
“Audrey was friendly and caring with me and my girls! She always made sure to communicate how my girls were doing and their needs! She was always just a text away!”
“We can't say enough about our sitter and the whole process, everything was excellent and very professional... We have already recommended this service to several of our friends and we will use the service and our sitter again in the near future... The daily pictures and emails are awesome and in addition the sitter picked up our mail and even did some light shoveling during the snowstorm while we were gone... Just fantastic and we are looking forward to doing business with Rover and Elizabeth M. (Betty) again...!!!”

From daily walks and playtime to keeping up with feeding and routines, I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved like they’re part of the family. Hi, I’m Mike!

Ask for the general routine of the pet what special medication if any applicable and any other specific type of care the owners are requesting
About: Cats can be more behaviorally delicate than dogs. I’m experienced reading body-language cues and preventing stress. I follow litter/feeding/med routines precisely and keep visits calm, low-pressure, and consistent.

“This was our first time using Rover and we are so grateful that we found Katuiscia!! Katuiscia (Kat) cared for our two girls like they were part of her family. She gave them plenty of love and attention during their stay and shared several photos and videos with us throughout the day. Kat also provided us with specific detail about how they spent their day which was above and beyond what we expected. Our Lizzie and Tori had such a great time with Kat, will definitely be returning for more visits!! It really puts us at ease knowing that our girls are in great hands. Thank you, Kat!!”
“Belle had such an amazing time! Chonlada and her fam were absolutely amazing. We are from out of state and were a little nervous to leave Belle, but Chonlada made it such a great experience and took wonderful care of our pup. She even sent Belle home with a parting gift and her daughters drew a beautiful pic of Belle! I would certainly trust Chonlada with any dog!”
“Doing a trial run with Wendy to get my somewhat anxious dog comfortable enough to be able to stay for a longer overnight sit. Couldn't have been happier with how everything went. Wendy is great with communication and kept my dog safe and comfortable. She has patience and actually listens as I explain my dog's quirks and how she behaves.”
About: I’ve had all sorts of animals since I’ve been 10 years old. I currently have a yellow lab who is the sweetest dog! He enjoys all animals and is gentle when playing.

About: Looking for a calm, loving place where your dog will be treated like family? You've found it! I know how hard it can be to leave your furry best friend, so my goal is to make their stay feel as comfortable, safe, and stress-free as possible. Whether you need doggy daycare for a few hours, overnight boarding, or care for a long weekend, your pup will receive plenty of one-on-one attention in a peaceful home. One of the biggest perks?

Whether your dog loves to play, snuggle on the couch, or simply nap in a cozy spot, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have two cats who live upstairs in their own separate area and do not interact with boarding dogs, allowing everyone to enjoy their own space comfortably. I know you're trusting someone with a member of your family, and I don't take that responsibility lightly.

About: What truly sets me apart from other sitters is my deep and varied pet care experience, fueled by genuine love and mirroring the dedicated care I provide my own furry family. Beyond standard sitting, I offer an understanding of canine behavior and individual needs through hands-on dog training, certified pet therapy volunteering, shelter and rescue assistance and fostering dogs of all ages and backgrounds. This comprehensive experience allows me to provide specialized care, especially for puppies and senior dogs. My commitment goes beyond simply supervising dogs. I strive to create a comfortable, enriching and safe environment where your dog is family, receiving the individualized attention and understanding they deserve. Pet care is deeply integrated into my daily life; it's my full-time dedication. Daily Routine: Morning (6:00 AM - 8:00 AM): My day often begins with my own pets. This includes: Feeding: Ensuring everyone gets their appropriate breakfast, fresh water and medications Potty Breaks: Taking them outside for their morning elimination. Exercise/Playtime: A walk in the yard, a quick game of fetch, to get their energy levels up. Health Checks: A quick visual assessment to ensure everyone is looking and acting healthy. Mid-Morning/Afternoon (Variable): This is often when I schedule client visits or depending on the day, this might involve: running errands Boarding Care: For dogs staying with me, this includes regular potty breaks, supervised playtime in my yard (often integrated with my own dogs if appropriate and safe), and individual attention. Evening (5:00 PM - 8:00 PM): This mirrors the morning routine for my own pets: Feeding: Dinner time for everyone. Potty Breaks: Evening elimination walks. Relaxation/Affection Time: Cuddling on the couch, gentle petting or quiet playtime. Preparing for the Night: Ensuring fresh water and comfortable sleeping arrangements. Late Evening (Before Bed - 10:00 PM - 10:30 PM)): A final potty break before we all settle in for the night. Mack Pack Pet Services LLC - Where your dog is family here! Licensed & Insured.

About: About Me Hi, I’m Pam! I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all breeds—puppies to seniors—and treat every pet as family. I’m organized, caring, and deeply dependable, and I’d be honored to care for your pup. Why Choose Me? Flexible & Present: I work from home and dedicate undivided attention to each pet—companionship is always there. Routine-Focused: I follow your pet’s normal routine closely—mealtimes, walks, play sessions—to help them feel at ease. Why I Love Pet Sitting Dogs and cats have been part of my life forever—I can’t imagine not having at least one around! I balance caring for pets with raising my son—I’m home, present, and fully engaged. We’re warmly present at all times—your pet will be with company and attention throughout their care. Thank you for considering me—I look forward to making your pet feel right at home! 1. Adhere to Your Pet’s Regular Routine As an effective sitter, I stick closely to your pet’s feeding, walking, and activity schedules to reduce stress and help them feel at ease. Consistency makes all the difference—pets thrive on familiarity and structure. 2. Lean on Written Schedules & Reminders I rely on alarms, digital reminders, or a shared care document outlining feeding times, walks, and medication schedules. Detailed care plans—not just verbal instructions—help ensure nothing is overlooked. 3. Balance Walks, Play, and Mental Stimulation Your pup will enjoy walks in the morning and evening, play sessions in the yard or with toys, and brain games like puzzles or training drills. This balanced mix keeps pets physically active and mentally engaged, which is a hallmark of personalized, attentive care. 4. Clear Communication with Owners I provide updates via text, photos, or videos—tailored to your preference. Whether you'd like a daily summary or only updates if something important comes up, I'll make sure our communication fits what works best for you. Clear, consistent updates help build trust and peace of mind. 1. Create a Secure, Pet‑Safe Environment I prioritize safety by pet-proofing all areas—tucking away loose items, securing small objects, and removing anything toxic within reach. I supervise pets at all times, even in fenced yards, and avoid assuming familiarity protects against escapes or mishaps. 2. Use Barriers and Supervision for Added Security To prevent accidental exits, I employ secondary barriers—like baby gates or exercise pens—when entering or exiting through doors. Even in clients’ homes, I discuss acceptable barrier use ahead of time to ensure safety. 3. Establish Safe Boundaries & Routines I maintain separate feeding areas and “own spaces” for each pet to avoid tension and provide comfort. Cleanliness and routine are central—each pet has its own safe zone, whether in my home or yours- 4. Meet & Greet for Confidence and Preparedness I always recommend a Meet & Greet before booking—this gives us a chance to establish comfort and go over logistics such as key access, gate codes, and safe entry routes. It also helps me anticipate quirky behaviors and preferences that enhance care. 5. Respecting Your Home & Access Protocols When caring for pets in your home, I ensure a secure access plan—whether through tested codes, spare keys, or lockboxes—and always return keys promptly. I conduct perimeter checks to confirm gates are closed, trash secured, and hazardous zones off-limits. 6. Open, Tailored Communication Builds Trust I’ll work with you to determine your preferred update style—daily summaries, photo check-ins, or notes only if something unusual occurs. Consistent, clear communication not only reassures you, but also ensures your pet’s care is seamless. 7. Emergency Preparedness Included I keep emergency contact info—including vets, local animal hospitals, and your trusted contacts—on hand. I’m prepared to act quickly and responsibly in case of illness or safety concerns. 8. Built‑In Assurance through Rover’s Standards As part of the Rover community, I’ve passed a comprehensive background check and adhere to Rover’s Trust & Safety protocols, including the Rover Guarantee and responsive booking protection. Our communications always stay within the platform to ensure transparency and security.

Watching friends’ dogs has become a natural extension of my love for animals, and every dog that stays with us gets the same care and affection as my own. Our whole family shares this passion for dogs. My young son loves spending hours playing with our pups, ensuring that any dog in our home is not just cared for but actively engaged and loved.

We’re true dog people, and we genuinely enjoy welcoming furry friends into our home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, as I care for my own dogs daily with regular walks, meals, and playtime. When sitting for other dogs, I adjust my schedule to include their specific needs, ensuring they feel loved and comfortable. I also offer pick-up/drop-off and meet-and-greet sessions to make the process seamless for owners. I provide a safe, loving, and engaging environment for every pet in my care. In my home, dogs are treated as part of the family, with regular feeding, walks, and plenty of playtime to ensure they feel happy and at ease. I follow any specific routines or preferences provided by the owner, from dietary needs to favorite activities. For pets in their own home, I maintain their usual routine to keep them comfortable, including feeding, walking, and giving them personalized attention. Whether at my home or yours, my priority is ensuring every pet feels loved, secure, and well cared for.

Our pup was happy and he paid attention to our special instructions to keep her from picking up trash off the ground. Thank you!”

About: I currently work from home for a family business, but I am looking to expand my own business and passion - taking care of animals! I worked for doggy daycares and boarding facilities for 3.5 years, ensuring the safety, happiness, and health of a wide variety of dog breeds and ages. I have administered medications, completed dog handling courses, and grooming training as well. This led me to groom professionally full-time for 2 years after college. I now prefer to do at-home bathing sessions and spend more time with pets one-on-one in a homey environment. In addition to dogs, I have taken care of fish, cats, amphibians, lizards, and birds. I have a 9 year old bunny of my own, so I am well-versed in rabbit care. Throughout high school, I volunteered at PetSmart taking care of the cats and at Diane's Pet Supplies, too, walking their dogs. These are all in addition to being my primary neighborhood dog-sitter/walker. Pet sitting fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely with a highly flexible schedule. This allows me to adjust my day around your pet’s needs—whether that means regular walks, consistent feeding times, play breaks, or simply being present for companionship.

They’ll enjoy plenty of affection, attention, and enrichment throughout the day—including couch privileges, treats (as approved), and lots of cuddles. Because I work from home, your pet will have near-constant supervision and companionship, allowing me to closely monitor their safety, comfort, and health for a smooth and enjoyable stay!

About: Pets aren’t just a part of my life—they are my life's baseline. For over 40 years, my golden rule has been that a house is not a home unless there are exactly two dogs walking around in it.

About: Hello! I have been caring for four legged babies big and small for over 10 years, personally I have been owned by four legged babies for over 18 years. Over the years I have cared for dogs, cats, exotics, farm animals, and alpacas! I’m always happy to go on an adventure or just snuggle up with my four legged friends. Attention to detail is a major strong point that I provide to ensure the safety and well-being of your four legged family. I am able to brush, bathe, feed, fluff beds, clean-up any oops, and entertain your four legged family. Also I am able to provide any special care requests that your four legged family needs. Whether your fur babies want to explore or just snuggle up, let’s go!
About: Hi, I'm Kat, I love all animals but I have an affinity for dogs, especially small ones. I've taken care of cats & dogs for more than 20 years. I've recently lost my baby boy Max (my Shih Tzu) to cancer, we're not ready to get another dog but am ready to help watch your dog and shower him/her with all the love/kisses they want. I'm available to watch your pup within 24hr notice. We don't have a fence yard but am willing and I enjoy walking dogs. We live in a very walkable town with nice wide sidewalks for your pup & I to go explore the neighborhood. I will treat your pet as if it was my own.

“Jennifer saved us with a last minute booking and it was a great experience for our pup. We will definitely book with her again. She kept us posted with updates and pics. Easy meet and greet because she only takes 1 animal at a time and does not have a pup, so I didn't need to worry about Sully getting along with another pup. Such a relief and peace of mind.”
“Alexa is great at what she does! My pup Nathan had a wonderful time and was very well taken care of. Alexa provided plenty of updates (including photos) and was fantastic about keeping track of and administering his allergy medication. 10/10 would recommend”
“Sarah was super sweet, and my little girlie had a blast playing with the other very nice dogs during the day. Sarah even stayed in the room with her when she had anxiety at night which is just so kind. I know that Matilda enjoyed the large outdoor areas to run and explore! Thank you, Sarah!”
“Joel is prompt to respond. My dog can be uncomfortable meeting new people and dogs. Joel has a keen understanding of dog behavior and uses lots of positive reinforcement. He handles greetings, meal times, and playtime in a professional manner. I felt comfortable leaving my anxious dog in his care and my dog quickly warmed up to him, his wife, and his dogs.”
“The ladies have been to Jim’s for 2 separate long weekends!! Amazing dude with a true gift of dog connection!! The ladies have never been away from home and they get right in the car to go back!! THANKS Jim”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Manu and Dhruv! They took great care to make sure Liam felt safe and comfortable, he’s normally very shy but based on our photos he felt at home right away! We received so many great photos and it was clear Manu and Dhruv truly prioritize your dog’s happiness while in their care. I’m so glad Liam could spend a weekend with an incredible family! Would absolutely recommend them to anyone and Liam will certainly see them again.”
“William and Kristen are true dog people- loving, caring and sensitive to your furry family member’s needs. They were prompt in getting back to us and kept us posted with pics and fun comments. Asha seemed very “at home” in the their home when I picked her up. Thx guys for treating our pup like one of your own!!”
“Alyssa took great care of our beautiful Lilly. Lilly was a bit anxious the first night, but Alyssa made her comfortable and even slept on the couch next to Lilly's bed. Thanks to Alyssa's patience, Lilly slept soundly in her bed in Alyssa's room on the 3rd night. Lilly loved Alyssa and I'm sure she'll be happy to return to Alyssa's care when needed. Alyssa provided updates several times a day and responded to any of my messages in a very timely fashion. I would recommend Alyssa to anyone as I can tell that she lovingly cared for our big girl the same as we do.”

“Add another star for Dawn! We have two Great Danes and she manages them beautifully, and communicates twice a day with loads of pics without fail. Excellent, excellent, excellent — she will be our go-to any time we need these dogs to have overnights.”
“This was our first time boarding our dog, Gus, with Amanda. She was amazing and completely put our minds at ease. She sent awesome daily photo/video updates, handled his medication routine perfectly, and was great about letting us know any issues he had during his stay. Our dog had a blast running in the yard, making new friends, and came home totally happy. If you want 100% peace of mind, Amanda is the best! 10/10 recommend.”
“Sruthi and Abha were so wonderful to our little Meatball! While we were on vacation, it was clear that Meatball was too! They sent updates with photos multiple times a day. It was so sweet and my kids, in particular, loved hearing what adventure their dog was having each day! We look forward to booking when we go away again! Thanks!!!”
“Wendy was a solid choice to leave my dog Brady with for the week I was on vacation. She was flexible from the start! I got daily pictures with updates about my dog and he was very happy. Wendy was able to create a great bond with Brady, who tends to be more shy, and I was fortunate to have found her to help out with him. Thanks Wendy!”
