“This was our second stay with Jaideep and we’re very happy with the thoughtfulness and care he took of Nova. She seemed very happy and relaxed with her stay. We will use him again for future needs. I highly recommend Jaideep and his wife.”
“Kathy did a great job with our pup! She was very communicative and provided lots of updates. Chelsea seemed to have a great time and we look forward to using Kathy again in the future!”
About: I've been pet sitting since i was 13, I am currently 19 with a dog and cat of my own! I've taken care of seniors as-well as puppies. I've potty trained, taught tricks, and have done special care when needed. I love to go on long hikes and bring my dog with me! I go on walks about 3 times a day, as my dog is very active.

Your pup will be able to relax and also get the outside time they need. I have a big fenced in backyard perfect for running around and playing.
“If you're looking for someone to watch your dog for any period of time, look no further than De'Andra and Robert! They did a fantastic job watching our Pablo for the weekend, and they kept us updated every step of the way with how he was doing (including pictures and videos). I would absolutely trust them to watch Pablo again.”
“Teresa is great!! She took care of our two dogs on two different occasions and I had no worries. She sent me pictures and shared how they were doing. I would definitely leave my two babies in her care in the future.”
“Bobbi was amazing and one of a kind. I have no worries when she watched my baby boy. She kept me updated with photos, open communication, and shared videos throughout the few days which made my mama's heart worry less. I will not hesitate to rebook her. I joked that I wanted to stay because of her welcoming, sweet presence. Absolutely genuinely will rebook Bobbi. Chance will be so happy to come play with her 2 little lovely girls again!”
“Lorrie was a wonderful person to pick for my active, loud mouthed goldendoodle. She sent pictures and updates throughout our vacation and took great care of her. I was very grateful to her and will definitely try to use her again!”
About: Dogs have always been a very special part of my life. I have had a dog by my side for as long as I can remember, and being a dog parent has taught me that dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. After recently losing my own dog, I discovered that what I miss most is the unconditional love and companionship that only a dog can provide. I would love the opportunity to care for your dog and provide the same affection, patience, and attention that I gave my own. Whether your pup enjoys walks, playtime, or quiet cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. My promise is simple: your dog will be loved, cared for, and treated like family every moment you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time at home, which allows me to give dogs the attention they deserve. Whether they need exercise, playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. When your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated like family. I provide a calm, comfortable, and loving environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and different needs. Some dogs love to play and explore, while others prefer cuddling on the couch and enjoying a quiet environment. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, happy, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind that they’re receiving the same love and attention I gave my own dog.
“A+ stay. Dana and Jon were very accommodating to myself and my puppy Dak, especially after getting home late due to traffic! We got frequent pictures and updates. It’s very apparent that Dak had a wonderful stay for an extended weekend. will be using again! Thanks !”
“Late review: Dannette was wonderful with my two boys and took great care of them. They were happy, tired, and semi-excited to see me when I picked them up. I’d definitely recommend!”
“Diba and her roommates are wonderful people. My baby Spunkie is always so happy and excited to see them and even more happy to see me when it’s pick up time. I can trust them all with my baby”
“Kayla is awesome! My dog always has a great time and we always get a lot of pictures and updates from Kayla. She is a great communicator and we always feel confident when we leave Zuri with her. We have used Kayla several times and we will continue to book with her in the future.”
About: For house sitting a drop in care: I have taken care of friends and families dogs for arounds 3 years now. They range from 10 months old to 11 years old so, I have some senior dog care experience. They range from 10 pounds to 110 pounds. My dog requires daily pill medication distribution so, if you pet requires a daily pill, I am a veteran at administering pills. I also have oral syringe medication experience. I am a doctor as well so, if a pet requires needle medication administering, I can do that as well with instructions. If you dog requires long walks, I am the person who is up for the job. If you pet would rather sit on the couch and curl up with tv shows, I am also the person for that job! For boarding care: my wife works from home Monday through Friday and has pet sitting experience. You can be sure to receive all of the care and experience as described above! We do have 1, 85 pound neutered male German Shepherd, who loves dogs, cats, and kids, so if your dog loves other dogs, especially big ones, then we are the home for you! I currently work full-time, Monday through Friday, 6am to 2:30pm and am available any time after that. I am willing to stay in the pet owners home and will be home everyday after work. I am available at any time during the weekend. For boarding care: my wife works from home Monday through Friday and has pet sitting experience. You can be sure to receive all of the care and experience as described above! We do have 1, 85 pound neutered male German Shepherd, who loves dogs, cats, and kids, so if your dog loves other dogs, especially big ones, then we are the home for you! If you pet is required to go into a crate daily, I have crate experience and can safely put your pet into the crate when needed. I can walk your pet daily. If there is a feeding and/or medication schedule, I will follow the instructions given in order to ensure your pets safety and needs. I do medication distribution, litter box cleaning, walks, playing with toys and any indoor pet maintenance that you may need.
“Brian was great with Toby! We booked a last minute stay for a day we couldn't get our pup into doggie day care. Brain accommodated a quick meet and greet, and everything went smoothly! He sent multiple pictures throughout the stay - which helps to calm an over protective pet mom. I love that he took Toby and his dog for a long walk - certainly helped to tire him out once he got home. Ozzie and Toby seemed to have got along great, and we would definitely use Brian's help again! ”
“Sarah cared for our labradoodle and we would definitely recommend her! She communicated regularly, sent pictures and updates, ensured our pets were compatible before booking, and made us feel very comfortable that our girl was in great hands.”
“Rodger did great with our two one-year-old cats. He was super patient and understanding when one of them took longer to open up. Super responsive and consistent with sending updates. Will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Bear had a great stay with Hannah and crew! They sent lots of photos of bear playing with their pup. Great hosts and super accommodating and our booking was last minute! Will definitely us them again in the future!”
“Amanda was super accommodating and sweet. Her property is beautiful and our pup seemed to be fascinated with the other animals she has on her farm. He was a tired boy when we picked up him up. Strongly recommend using her, and we will absolutely be a repeat customer if we come back this way on our travels.”
“Very welcoming & made my fur baby feel right at home! Communication was prompt and received updates with photos. Above & beyond service. Will definitely book again and refer to others. Thank you!”

“Sadie is amazing! She took my pet sitting request with short notice and was very easy to work with. She made sure to keep me up to date with detailed messages during her time sitting my kitten and even sent me pictures showing him being comfortable and playful around her. She also went above and beyond and did extra things around the house which I appreciated very much. She’s very respectful and professional. I will definitely request her again for my next pet sitting. Thanks Sadie!”
“Victoria was fantastic in taking care of my kitty over the long weekend. She followed all of our procedures for feeding and checking on our cat. She also stayed long to play with the cat and make sure she was doing okay as my cat was feeling a bit under the weather. Victoria sent numerous photos daily and was very communicative. Would absolutely recommend her and will be rebooking if Victoria is good with that!”
“So grateful I was able to book Beth when last minute travel plans popped up. She was wonderful coming to do drop in visits for my kitties over a very hot and holiday weekend. It really eased my anxiety of being away from them knowing that Beth was checking in on them and giving them some attention! She sent great updates, made sure they had food fresh water and clean boxes and spent time playing with them sending pictures that really made my day! My cats must have loved her as all 3 came out to see her each visit and two of them can be shy - but not this time! Thank you Beth! Will book again (hopefully more in advance) when I am next away:)”
“Siyani provided prompt, great care for our two cats, including one who is a bit of an escape artist. We had no worries while we were away, and the kitties seemed pretty content and everything else in the house was in order. I would definitely recommend her services”
“Hanna gave our kitten the attention she needed, as well as the piece of mind we needed leaving the young kitten home the first time. Our kitten is accustomed to lots of social and play time, Hanna did a great job!”
About: I have cared for friends cats in the past, providing drop in visits two times each day. This included feeding, scooping the litter box, washing and changing out water and food bowls, and playing with the cats for a little bit.
“Jyllian was absolutely amazing as my cat sitter. I was away on an extended trip and was nervous about having to leave my cat for that long. She went above and beyond with updating me and provided very detailed summaries each day along with so many pictures which showed how much love she put into caring for my cat. Not only that, but she is a vet tech so that made me feel even more comfortable in case something went wrong. She truly has the biggest heart for animals and I would very easily recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you so much, Jyllian!!!!”
About: I've owned cats for 35 years, most of them being rescues. I've cared for kitty cats of all ages, including feeding, changing litter, and administering medications. Currently, I am caring for my own elderly cat who requires daily doses or oral medication. I absolutely love playtime with kittens and snuggling with the seniors.
About: Hello! I’m a dedicated cat caregiver specializing in multi-cat households. I understand that cats aren't just "low-maintenance" pets—they have rich personalities, strict routines, and distinct social dynamics. Whether you have a bonded pair who need interactive playtime or a multi-feline family with complex feeding schedules, I provide the precise, attentive care they need to feel safe and secure while you are away.
“Raya is amazing!!! She went above and beyond to take care of Oliver and Mo while I was gone! She gave them spa treatments, took them on walks, kept the house clean, and helped my pup overcome some fears of the nail clipper! She provided excellent updates and adorable pics of her cuddling my boys- they clearly loved her!! I would absolutely recommend Raya to anyone! ❤️”
About: While getting my associates in Veterinary Science I have had the opportunity to work in shelters, boarding facilities, rescues, animal hospitals, clinics, and more with cats. I have worked with cats with various health issues as well and understand their particular needs. Some of these include diabetic cats, cats with broken bones or other physical injuries with or without casts/splints, obesity, stomatitis (or other dental issues), elderly cats, and more. My passion is animals and I cannot wait to meet your fur babies!

“I had to make a last minute trip and was worried about my girl being alone since I wasn’t optimistic there would be anyone to take her as a last minute. Fortunately, Jaideep responded back quickly and said he’d take care of her. The communication was great and he sent many pictures and updates throughout the day. My Luna looked like she was having a blast and looked calm. I will definitely be asking for Jaideep’s help with Luna again in the future.”
About: Your dog won't be one of several boarding dogs in my home. I care for only one client family at a time, allowing me to provide personalized attention and care throughout their stay. I’ve had both cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I provide a calm, attentive home environment where your pet receives plenty of love, playtime, regular walks, and individualized care based on their routine and personality. My previous experience on Rover’s Trust & Safety team gives me additional knowledge of pet behavior, safety awareness, and risk prevention. I provide a low-stress, structured routine tailored specifically to each dog, whether you have a playful pup or a senior dog with a more delicate routine. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, temperaments, and special needs. I am comfortable administering both oral and injected medications and carefully following your pet’s medication and care routine while you’re away. I share my home with cats, so I look for dogs who are comfortable around cats and respectful of feline space. Because I only take one family’s pets at a time, your dog will not be sharing the home with unfamiliar boarding dogs. This can be an especially good fit for senior dogs, shy dogs, or dogs who prefer a quieter environment. You can expect daily photo and video updates, so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I work from home, which means your dog has companionship, supervision, and attention throughout the day. Because I only take one client family at a time, I can focus my schedule and attention on the guest in my care. I closely follow each dog’s established routine, including regular feeding schedules, frequent outdoor breaks, playtime, and walks, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I provide boarding and daycare in a calm, structured home environment and only accept dogs from one family at a time. This allows me to give your dog my full attention and personalized care in a low-stress setting. Your dog won't be sharing the home with unfamiliar boarding dogs. Daily Care & Routine: I follow each dog’s individual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, regular walks, frequent outdoor breaks, and any specific instructions you provide. Dogs are not crated unless requested by the owner to match their normal home routine. Feline Safety & Space: I share my home with cats, so I look for dogs who are comfortable around cats and respectful of feline space. I carefully manage the living environment to maintain a peaceful and safe home for both my cats and visiting dogs. For everyone’s comfort and safety, visiting dogs must be house-trained. Peace of Mind: I require a Meet & Greet for all new clients before their first stay so we can make sure my home is a good fit for your dog. My previous experience working on Rover’s Trust & Safety team has also given me additional knowledge of pet behavior, safety awareness, and risk prevention. You can expect regular photo and video updates throughout your dog’s stay.
“Yianna was wonderful to work with! She was flexible, communicative, and kept us informed throughout the day. She was also comfortable reaching out with questions, which we really appreciated. We left Yianna with quite a challenge: three dogs, three different breeds, and three very different sets of needs. We dropped them off early in the morning and picked them up in the afternoon, and we felt confident knowing our dogs were safe, supervised, and well cared for. Our youngest dog is an intact male who became a little dominant during his stay. Yianna handled the situation calmly and confidently, made an appropriate correction, and ensured the behavior did not happen again. Her experience, judgment, and flexibility were greatly appreciated! We would absolutely book with Yianna again if we visit the area in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Dan and his wife were excellent doggy hosts. They made drop-off and pickup quick and simple. They gave picture updates and were great with communicating. I also loved that my spoiled dog had a couch to nap on. I will book again.”
“Annie was amazing with Lu! She was flexible with timing for drop-offs and pick-ups, fed him, and made sure he had lots of playtime and walks. Lu came home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. I’d absolutely recommend Annie to anyone looking for a kind, reliable dog sitter!”
About: I've taken care of little to medium dogs. I love to play if they have high-energy or snuggle and hang if thats their vibe. I like for us to get as much fresh air if possible. Love going on long walks along the water and hang out on the porch. I work from home so I'm able to be around and spend time, sometimes do extra walks if I have time in between clients. My partner is home after 5pm and on weekends. He walks them in the evening or we both do and he does the feeding and bathroom in the am. Gets fed at 7:30am, outside at about 9am to 10:30am and fed at 5pm out by 9pm again. She is crated at night and no longer is able to go up and down stairs safely because she has balance issues. My dog takes long walks in the neighborhood in the am. During the week or weekend I'll take my dog to my parents yard which isn't far or out to a dog park to socialize. I have my business in home so I'm close by with a flexible schedule. I have a good amount of time to spend in the morning and most days I don't work to late. I take my dog on long walks in the morning and some times to my parents to run in their yard. She is very friendly with other dogs and when she has energy will play. In between working I will hang out on my porch with my furbuddies. Every other weekend we're pretty open so we take our pup to a dog park and I've had other dogs be ok with that. If not we go on scenic walks and spend extra time outside if its nice.
“We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter! She took such great care of Oreo while we were away. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Oreo was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We truly appreciate her kindness, patience, and genuine love for animals. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Oreo!”
About: I have taken care of my own pets and others for over 25 years. Our current house includes 3 dogs and 2 cats. I have a lab, golden and corgi. I also welcome foster animals into our home when i can. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have flexibility to visit multiple times a day or host in my own home. My dogs are very friendly with others and welcome new friends and people. I do have an electric fence but am happy to keep dogs on the leash to go outside. I am happy to crate if needed for your dog. I keep extra crates in my home to use.
“Finn seemed to be having a good time every time I got a photo!! Scott was very nice and I felt comfortable leaving Finn with them. Thanks for providing a safe space to stay!!”

“She was amazing. My older girl has bad anxiety leaving me but she loved being with Kayla! And she was so amazing with my puppy whos still potty training and testing boundaries. In every single photo she sent they looked so happy. She was patient and kind. Shes super chill and easy to talk to / book with and she always offering a solution to fit my needs for a sitter no matter how last minute. I would 110% recommend her to anyone who needs their pups watched!!”

We had some delays and they graciously accommodated, which I really really appreciate! If I will definitely use them when we come back in the future. 10 out of 10 recommend!”
“Amanda is the absolute BEST! My first time leaving my puppy with anyone and they made me feel so at ease. I could tell they loved my pup like their own! Highly recommend and definitely will be using again in the future :)”

About: I have been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. Since 2017, I have been actively house sitting and caring for friends’, family’s, neighbors’, and other people’s pets. I have cared for a wide variety of animals, from dogs and cats to horses and other animals, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I am dependable, patient, attentive, and genuinely love getting to know each animal I care for. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and exercise, extra patience and reassurance, medication, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you are away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. As a stay at home dog mom to my dog, Draco, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I am able to take them outside frequently for potty breaks, playtime, walks, and fresh air. I love having animals around and will make sure your pets get plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day! I am happy to follow whatever routine and preferences you have established for your pets. I understand that every animal is different, and I want to keep them as comfortable and consistent as possible while you are away. I am comfortable following crate training routines, feeding schedules, walking and potty schedules, medication instructions, and any other specific instructions you provide. I also have experience caring for neighbors’ animals and am comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. My goal is to follow your instructions closely and care for your pets the way you would!

Prices are estimates per walk. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since as early as I can remember. Honestly I get along with animals better then people! We've always had a dog and more recently cats. My in-laws ask for my help when they take a trip and I am always happy to help! Currently I am caring for my kids during most of the day but I am open on evenings and weekends as needed! I'll try to fit anything in that I can! I'll always greet the animals first and make sure they are comfortable with me. Then I check for water and food. Once I make sure those are good we are off for play time or walk time!
“Siyani is absolutely AMAZING! My rescued pup is a reactive dog, and it’s usually very difficult for him to warm up to new people,!especially when it comes to walks or being cared for by someone new. But with Siyani, he felt safe right away!! She has such a calm, kind energy that made Toby comfortable and confident, which is something I honestly didn’t think I would find outside of our family. Finding someone who can handle a rescue pup with patience and love is rare, and Siyani has completely earned my trust. This experience gave me the peace of mind I needed, and now I know I’ve found my go-to sitter for Toby, not only for dog walks but also for when I travel. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!”
“Diana accepted a last minute request (day before). She came to pick up key that day and did meet ‘n greet with husband to get instructions. On day of walk, she was on time, called when our fickle front door stuck in the humidity. On the call, after the door opened, it was clear both her and Lizzy our maltipoo were excited to see each other. We got picture and walk info. She left the key in our drop mailbox as she left so we didn’t have to worry or track her down. Very professional! We would definitely book Diana again.”
About: Some people call me the dog whisperer, but I just speak a dogs language. I love dogs, even more than most humans. I’m not afraid to administer medications or take pups to the vet or groomer. I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m pretty much available all day long. I own two large dogs and one small dog. And they all live in harmony with my children. Both my sons love animals almost as much as I do! If we had the land, I’d open a rescue and adoption center. Dogs of all sizes enjoy stopping here on their walks because they know I always have treats waiting. We know most of our furry neighbors better than the humans! We must love dogs or are crazy! I’m currently at home, but we do have children, and live an active and busy lifestyle do to their sports. I try to be as flexible as possible. I have a huge fenced in yard and my dogs love having friends over! We do require crates for sleeping or anytime we are not home, so if your dog is not crate trained, this probably isn’t the home for you.

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a young girl. I know a lot about body language, feeding routines, and behavior. I have no issues with any pets, as long as they don't bite! I work a full time job as a, hours ranging between 3:00p- 10p (I try to change my availability on Rover as I get my work schedule!), but I want to incorporate my pet care calling into my life, so I decided to pick this up as a part time! Please keep in mind that I like to book clients, especially new ones, 3 (three) days in advance! This gives us time for a proper Meet & Greet, and for me to build a Client File! I do not take appointments past 3pm. I will gladly work around appointments to the best of my abilities! Caring for your animal, depending on dog or cat, I will have them leashed outside when walking, and monitor when outside in a fenced in yard, or given treats!
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. I started taking care of dogs a little bit before I turned 10. I've taken care of my family's and friends' pets for many years. I've been relied on for feedings, walks, baths, and medications. I love dogs with all my heart. I always want to make sure that they feel loved and cared for. I am currently working a full time job, but try to make time for some pet sitting! I am able to do most morning pet sitting/dog walking. Fridays and Saturdays are always 50/50 since I'm working either one of those days, but can do evenings if I am working. I'm always off on Sundays, so I'm always free! I live in an apartment, so I make sure that my dog has plenty of opportunities to go outside for a walk. My dog has a schedule that we stick to that also works for her. I would make sure that I follow your dog's schedule and specific instructions. With me, your dog will get all the cuddles, love, and playtime they could ask for!
About: I’m at that stage of life where I can’t have my own pup yet, but I love them so much! So, I’ve been watching my friends and families pets for the last three years! I treat every pup with the same love and attention. I’m a full time medical student who loves dogs more than anything else! I love to spend quality time with furry friends in the evening when I get off of my rotations and weekends when I have a lot of downtime. I have a two bedroom apartment with a balcony and large living room. I tend to walk the dogs 2-3 times a day when they stay with me at my place, depending on if I’m working nearby and can run home for lunch :) Otherwise, I’m home most of the 8 hours I’m not at work, and most of the weekend! Happy to walk dogs and pet sit at other homes and accommodate whatever needs seen fit per your pupper in your home.
About: I have taken care of so many different types of animals, ranging in all ages. I have no boundaries with pets :)) I love them all so much and will love your baby like they’re my own. I work almost every weekday taking care of pets between 10:30am-1pm, then 3pm-5pm. I sometimes have openings during these times, so it’s always a good idea to reach out, no matter what :)) My availability is (mostly) open otherwise, so I can work around your schedule. I will always reply as soon as possible, to the best of my ability, and communicate openly about what I can and can’t do. I keep my eyes on the pet/s at all times when outdoors, and monitor as necessary in the house. I might as well be a helicopter (pet) mom.
“Christy is a gem! My dog saw her coming and was so excited to see her because he knew he was about to get a great walk! From my six-year-old lazy St. Bernard to my one year-old newfi/St. Bernard mix who has enough energy for five puppies, she knows how to handle both of them. The puppy is in training and she’s very good at reinforcing what he’s learning. I am so glad I found her!”
About: I'm most experienced with dogs and cats. That said, I am willing to look after any pet! I've always had dogs of my own, and I previously volunteered at a shelter which gave me added experience walking dogs of many breeds, ages, and temperaments. I am also familiar with giving medications (pills/capsules, eye ointments), crating, automatic feeders, and self-cleaning litter robots. I have a flexible schedule with plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I am able to accommodate both weekday and weekend requests at nearly any time. Your pets, your home, your rules! The clearer instructions the better, and please be open to answer questions where needed. I promise to do my best in following your guidelines to protect your space and animals!
About: Hello! My name is Lauren. I work as a nurse at Hershey Medical part time and I'm looking to take care of pets in my free time! My last dog had diabetes and other health issues so I’m experienced with administering shots and medications. He was also blind so I’m experienced with those pups who cannot see! I fostered kittens and currently have a cat of my own. I also have experience with rabbits and guinea pigs. I will be sure to send pictures of your fur babies while you are away! I'm currently working part time as a nurse so I can provide care to your animal on my days off which will be provided in my availability calendar. Currently, my house is under construction so I cannot board any animals. I can come to your house though to feed, water, play, walk, and snuggle!
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a dog owner myself, including a German Shepherd and a Harrier, I understand that every dog has their own needs, routines, and quirks. I’m comfortable handling larger, high-energy dogs, going on longer walks and outdoor adventures, and making sure they get the exercise, attention, and mental stimulation they need. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and take safety seriously, whether that means keeping a close eye on a dog’s behavior, following specific care instructions, or adjusting to what makes an individual dog most comfortable. I treat every animal in my care with the same attention and respect I’d want someone to give my own dogs I’m currently working full time as an EMT with rotating week days and weekends. This means I’d have plenty of time to give your fur babies the attention and exercise needed on my days off. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person you’re trusting to care for your pets, so their safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I treat every animal like I would my own and take the time to learn their normal routine, personality, boundaries, likes and dislikes, and any special instructions you provide. I’m patient with pets that may need a little extra time to warm up, and I pay close attention to their body language and behavior so I’m never putting them in a situation they’re uncomfortable with. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or just relaxing at home, I’ll make sure they’re safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention. I also believe trust and communication are extremely important, so I’ll keep you updated and treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.

About: Ever since I was born, there has always been a cat or dog in my life. Caring for animals has always been a part of who I am. I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for as long as I can remember, and I treat every pet like family.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! My experience with dogs started when I was just 4 years old, when my grandmother raised Cocker Spaniels. Growing up, I was also lucky enough to have dogs and cats of my own, which helped me develop a genuine love and understanding of animals. Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and I currently have a shelter dog mix of my own. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I’ll treat your dog with the same care, patience, and affection I give my own. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pup, keep them happy and comfortable, and give them plenty of love and attention while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I’m currently working full time M-F and am home evenings and weekends. I have a routine with my dog so following another routine will be simple! I have a fenced in yard at my home. I also have one dog that is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs.
“Desire was great! It was clear she loves dogs and gave my pup all the love and attention I would give him. Lots of photos and videos were sent. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: I am available all day every week and weekend. I am a very big dog lover and am kind hearted. I enjoy being outside and love being with furry friends. I am recently unemployed. I have had a lot of experience with dogs and grew up with multiple puppies. I lost a large amount of weight in Highschool from walking with my family dog twice everyday, throughout the summer and fall seasons. I believe greatly that animals need to be exercised everyday in order to live a full and happy life. With a willing to travel far distances and the ability to work with all breeds I hope to be a good choice for anyone who needs a dog sitter or dog walker. Thank you.
“Diba and her roommates are wonderful people. My baby Spunkie is always so happy and excited to see them and even more happy to see me when it’s pick up time. I can trust them all with my baby”
“Abigail was great! We needed a last minute sitter for our 1yr old pup for a 10 day trip and Abigail accommodated us with no problem! She was even willing to do a meet and greet before the stay. My 1yr old still has puppy like behaviors which I warned her about and she had no problem as well! My pup also loved spending time with her very friendly dog and kids! She also communicated very well with great response times. Will definitely have Abigail sit for us if needed again!”
“Brian was great with Toby! We booked a last minute stay for a day we couldn't get our pup into doggie day care. Brain accommodated a quick meet and greet, and everything went smoothly! He sent multiple pictures throughout the stay - which helps to calm an over protective pet mom. I love that he took Toby and his dog for a long walk - certainly helped to tire him out once he got home. Ozzie and Toby seemed to have got along great, and we would definitely use Brian's help again! ”
“Jenny is fantastic!! Her home is a dog’s paradise with a loving family and playful environment. Phoebe will be back and we won’t worry for a second about the care she receives while we’re gone.”
“EXCELLENT. Its so hard to leave a fur baby behind for any amount of time. I felt so good leaving our dog with Kayla. We first had a meet and greet and that went great. Everything with our stay went great. We got photos and videos daily. Our dog looked happy in all the photos. All of our instructions were followed. Great stay and will return!”
“Very welcoming & made my fur baby feel right at home! Communication was prompt and received updates with photos. Above & beyond service. Will definitely book again and refer to others. Thank you!”
About: I have had pets since childhood and we've had them all: dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, lizards...and I want to take care of yours, too. I can handle everything from puppies to senior animals. I am currently a part-time writing tutor so I have time to walk dogs and feed cats and critters. Being a writer makes my schedule flexible and perfect for pet-sitting. If an animal is in my home, you can trust that it will be safe and cared for with love. I have a nice little yard for running around and plenty of room to explore and relax.

“We had a great experience! She was very attentive and kept us updated with pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was easy to reach and always responded quickly to messages. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Missy and Justin are always so great with our nervous Nelly. Even though Bea can be a scaredy cat, Missy and Justin welcome her in and give her her space until she comes out of her shell. She loves getting to see Finn!”
