“It's so nice to be able to leave your fur babies in the hands of a competent, capable and caring person like Jessica. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing that our dogs were in loving hands. She even managed to squeeze in a bath and toe nail trim! She also sent us pictures through their stay to let me see they were fine. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone!”
“Wow! We are so happy that we chose Gabriella to be our dog’s new sitter! Kiko acclimated to her home immediately. He even ate on the first day! We thought he would not have eaten for a few days. Kiko loved his long daily walks in the park! He loved being part of her family! Kiko is looking forward to his next visit!”
“Roseanne was amazing! I my dog Luxie with her for 2 weeks while we went to OBX. She checked in frequently, sent pictures/videos, praised my dog, bathed her and genuinely loved her. Luxie is normally very shy, timid and will not eat if I am not around. Roseanna and her boys were experienced, loving and kind to my pup! Would definitely use her again!!”
“Sam and her daughter took care of our Bernese Mountain dog for three weeks while we were gone over the summer. She was easy to schedule with, and responsive when we checked in to see how things were going. She was thoughtful about introducing our dog to her dog (as well as her cats). Our dog came home happy! I would recommend Sam if you are looking for a dog sitter!”
“Milissa is so communicative! Always sending updated & pictures which makes us feel so comfortable leaving Louie in her care. We will continue to rebook with her!!”
“Maryori was the perfect choice for our fur baby Bentley. She was very warm and welcoming, and she made our boy feel right at home. He spent his birthday with her and she went out of her way to buy him a few gifts and treats which we appreciated very much! I will definitely book her again.”
“I had to go on something like 6 trips over the past couple of months and booked Jeffrey every time. He is the best dog sitter I have ever hired. He is extremely flexible, an excellent communicator, kind, and has a great, safe space for dogs to play inside and outside. You will not go wrong booking with Jeffrey.”

“Our Layla loves being taken care of by Kerri and Harry! They treat Layla like one of their own and follow all of our care instructions. It is always evident that Layla had a good time when we pick her up. We can not recommend Kerri and Harry enough!”
“Katherine was amazing! Her home is pet friendly and impeccably clean. My puppy was spoiled by both her and having a fenced backyard to sun bathe in. She provided routine updates and pictures, and was flexible on the drop off and pick up times. I felt my puppy was well cared for during her stay. I would highly recommend her for future sitting.”
“Opal and Ollie had a great boarding experience with Jennifer and her family. I’ve already rebooked with her for their next boarding. I highly recommend Jennifer!”
“Amy was fantastic - we instantly felt comfortable with her husband and her (and, more importantly, so did the dog!). She was very detail oriented, sent pictures throughout Champ's short stay and made sure Champ got plenty of exercise. I also appreciated her policy not to take multiple dogs at once. We will definitely be repeating with Amy - the whole experience was great!”
“Traci and Jeffrey are the most caring snd compationate people they took excellent care of my Molly,they both had incredible patience and understanding because it was her first time ever being away from me and Molly can be a bit stubborn and nervous without me but Traci and Jeffrey helped her to relax and enjoy her time with them,i am so grateful for them both my worries about Molly completely left,Traci kept me updated and sent the cutest pics of molly and knowing how good care she was in completely helped calm my nerves.i will definitely book with Traci and Jeffrey in the future and highly recommend them.if i could give more stars i would.they are truely great boarders and go out of their way for your fur baby.”
“My girls had the best time they looked at home I was so worried about leaving them because I had never left them before but my heart was at peace with all the videos and pictures I received they were loved on and truly cared for and they will be returning. Ps THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING GOOD CARE OF MY GIRLS 💕”
“A huge thank you to Leanne for taking our Golden Retriever literally last minute over the Easter holiday and providing the greatest of care! When picking Sam up at the end of his stay, it was everything we could do to coax him back into our van, showing he must have really enjoyed his stay as he loves traveling. Highly recommend, super flexible, clean accommodations in a safe/nice neighborhood, and great communication. Thanks Leanne!”
“Chazz is great! Zelda is happy and calm when I pick her up, and my mind is at ease knowing that she’s being taken care of by someone that’s kind, friendly and professional.”
“Having Yuiko keep my furbaby was such a pleasure. She was extremely pleasant and made sure to keep me updated the entire time. Great yard where my dog was allowed to run around and play with her children. It was such a pleasure and I will use her again if I'm ever in need!”
“Becky and Travis were perfect. It was our first time having someone “board” Etta. We only had a couple days to find someone, and they were willing to squeeze in a meet and greet to help ease our minds. It was evident through photos and texts that Etta was having an amazing time with Becky, Travis, and their pups- and being treated with care and love. She was even sent home with a handmade bandana! We’re so thankful!”

“Julie was a fantastic sitter for my cat! She sent updates with every visit and made it a point to spend some time with him making sure he was comfortable with a new person in his space. Highly recommend”
About: I enjoy walking daily and I also love long distance running so if you have a dog that would like to run that would be wonderful.

I am a cat owner and my 3 cats are part of my family. However I can’t have pets at my house because of my cats. I would love to visit your pets at their home. I also have worked in healthcare for 2 decade’s administrating medication. I and able to give injections to pets if needed .
“Every time we have Amber come, we are confident knowing she will take care of our cat, we also love her updates and pictures and will continue to choose her again and again :)”
“This was the first time I had someone outside of my family coming to take care of my cats, plus my mom would be home and she has Parkinsons Dementia so I was REALLY nervous but Haley was absolutely wonderful. She was friendly with my Mom and the family that was here taking care of her, she was really good with my non-friendly cats as well, the pictures she sent me of River had me cracking up. I got pictures of clean litter boxes and full food/water bowls as well, so I know the job was getting done. I will absolutely be reaching out to Haley again for my pet needs when I go away next. She was wonderful, 1000% recommended!!”

About: Hello pet parents! I'm Danni and I absolutely love everything about dogs. They're so cute, sweet and playful! I've had a dog all my life until recently (apartment restrictions) and they have been various sizes and breeds. I have also been a dog walker and sitter for a company that gave me experience handling and interacting with shelter and elderly dogs; I also have experience giving oral tablet medication at specified times. I understand that not every dog has come from a happy home and I will put an effort into earning their trust (I've done so with two shelter dogs with severe anxiety and I love them) because I know that it will mean so much in the long run. Other than long walks on sunny days, I love playing with your pup's favorite toy and fetch is my favorite game. I can't wait to meet your furry friend!

About: Over two decades of working in pet sitting mainly through small local set ups. Through Rover, I am infusing my creative side to make unique story driven portraits for animal loving families!

“Maryori was 12/10! Not only did she take in Cooper last minute she was very sweet and accommodating. She kept me updated on Cooper the entire time. You won’t regret keeping your pup with her. This was the first time but it won’t be the last I book with her!”
“What an operation she's got! She had meatball for about 6 hours and WORE. HER. OUT!!!! I can only imaging how much she played and how great a time she had. Meatball and I have more than a little separation anxiety for one another, so I don't like leaving her with just anyone. I will happily run back to Roseanna. Thank you, Roseanna. You made a terrible day, tolerable.”
About: I love dogs, especially the ones that may not be the best walkers and best trained. My 15 year old shiba recently passed and I miss taking walks and caring for him daily. I have also lived with a variety of higher-energy, larger dogs who've needed more help in training and runs. I am available to help if your hours are long or in off times (I do actually work a full-time remote job and am seeking this out because I would love to spend more time with more dogs and dog owners), and would love to spend time with your pup for whatever his or her needs may be (even if that just means keeping treats on me at all times)! Less of a capitalistic enterprise, and more of a desire to hang out with cool dogs. Full-time work from home, so I am available all day to play with and and walk your little dog! Need your help know what your pet’s schedule looks like and how I can help maintain it. Lots of walks and supervision until we trust eachother enough for free roams inside.

“Shannon is fabulous! So kind and gentle with my somewhat anxious little pup. A very inviting environment that works well for my Lucy, plus a fenced in yard! (I’m kind of thinking I shouldn’t leave this review. I don’t want her to be booked the next time Lucy needs to be watched…)”
“Milissa was super responsive and accommodating for our last minute request! Our pup was kept company the entire day with walk and lounge updates provided as well. Very convenient option for anyone in the NE area.”
“I’ve used Michelle and fiancé a couple times to watch Angel and definitely will be using again in the the future. Super quick to reply to messages and sends photos and videos throughout the stay. They were attentive to Angels needs and she always comes back happy. Definitely recommend using them if you ever need!”

I also give her deworming tablets on a regular schedule to keep her healthy. I pay close attention to hygiene and health to ensure pets feel their best.
“Hardy and his daughter were absolutely amazing with Ziggy! From the very first moment, they made sure Ziggy felt safe, comfortable, and right at home. Hardy was so communicative — he called me with updates and sent pictures throughout the stay, which gave me total peace of mind. What really stood out is that this was a last-minute request, and Hardy came through without hesitation. Ziggy genuinely enjoyed every moment of his stay. Highly recommend Hardy to any pet parent looking for someone who truly cares!”
“Christine was such a help last minute when my sitter canceled on me! My puppy took to her right away and he had so much fun at her house with the other doggies. I felt comfortable right away knowing my pup was in good hands! Very trustworthy and reliable you can deff count on her to take good care of your pet!!”
“My dog, Riley, has separation anxiety and this when is the first time he was left with somebody else at their house. After 6 hours, when I came to pick him up, I have never seen him so at ease and tuckered out! I saw videos of him running with the caregiver's other dog, and he was having the time of his life! I am so extremely glad that I found Joe, and I'm going to use him in the future for sure!”

“I am so relieved to have found someone who was able to connect with my 20 month old 110 lb white Shepard. Kimba has a traumatic history and I have worked really hard to rehab him mentally since adopting him a few months ago. He immediately took to Anthony and put his fear-based aggression aside. Anthony constantly sent me updates with photos and followed all my requests to keep Kimba on his daily routine. I highly recommend Anthony to care for your dog.”

I make sure your pets are fed, walked, taken out and played with. I love cuddling and playing with animals. I will take pictures and keep you updating if you would like. I cant wait to hear from you!! I only work weekend nights starting next weekend. I am free any other time. I also have kids who love animals and would love to help. I make sure to have all pets on whatever routine they are used to or I will make one that fits the routines in my house. They will be walked, fed and played with however long they are with me.
About: I treat every pet as if it were my own. I’ve owed three dogs in the past years , two of which were rescues. I worked at a greyhound shelter in the past. I grew up with a cat as child and always been drawn to animals. My house is pet friendly and is a three story row house with a fenced in yard, on a quiet block. I love taking care of animals and will make sure your pet is treated with love and respect! My dog is a friendly and playful Jack Russell mix who loves his walks. My goal is to provide love and company for your pet when you can’t be with them. Whenever I go to someone’s house with pets, they instantly become my best friend!

“Wow! We are so happy that we chose Gabriella to be our dog’s new sitter! Kiko acclimated to her home immediately. He even ate on the first day! We thought he would not have eaten for a few days. Kiko loved his long daily walks in the park! He loved being part of her family! Kiko is looking forward to his next visit!”
“Sam and her daughter took care of our Bernese Mountain dog for three weeks while we were gone over the summer. She was easy to schedule with, and responsive when we checked in to see how things were going. She was thoughtful about introducing our dog to her dog (as well as her cats). Our dog came home happy! I would recommend Sam if you are looking for a dog sitter!”
“Milissa is so communicative! Always sending updated & pictures which makes us feel so comfortable leaving Louie in her care. We will continue to rebook with her!!”
“I had to go on something like 6 trips over the past couple of months and booked Jeffrey every time. He is the best dog sitter I have ever hired. He is extremely flexible, an excellent communicator, kind, and has a great, safe space for dogs to play inside and outside. You will not go wrong booking with Jeffrey.”
“This is my first time leaving my dog Cupcake with a sitter, and Jia is excellent. She communicates regularly and sends photos and videos. Cupcake had a great time. I definitely recommend Jia.”
“Katherine was amazing! Her home is pet friendly and impeccably clean. My puppy was spoiled by both her and having a fenced backyard to sun bathe in. She provided routine updates and pictures, and was flexible on the drop off and pick up times. I felt my puppy was well cared for during her stay. I would highly recommend her for future sitting.”
“A huge thank you to Leanne for taking our Golden Retriever literally last minute over the Easter holiday and providing the greatest of care! When picking Sam up at the end of his stay, it was everything we could do to coax him back into our van, showing he must have really enjoyed his stay as he loves traveling. Highly recommend, super flexible, clean accommodations in a safe/nice neighborhood, and great communication. Thanks Leanne!”
“Chazz is great! Zelda is happy and calm when I pick her up, and my mind is at ease knowing that she’s being taken care of by someone that’s kind, friendly and professional.”
“Becky and Travis were perfect. It was our first time having someone “board” Etta. We only had a couple days to find someone, and they were willing to squeeze in a meet and greet to help ease our minds. It was evident through photos and texts that Etta was having an amazing time with Becky, Travis, and their pups- and being treated with care and love. She was even sent home with a handmade bandana! We’re so thankful!”
“Hardy is awesome and our dog really likes staying here. Hardy knows how to handle pets well so we have lots of confidence in him and trust he will take care of our pet well. Always nice that there’s a yard to play and run around so they don’t get cooped up inside.”
“Ari was amazing. He has such a genuine love and understanding of animals, there is an immediate connection. I know our dog is eager to go back to spend more time with this amazing person!”
