“Bodhi loved staying with Melissa and Angel! He was well taken care of and had a lot of fun with their son and the other dogs they were watching. I'd definitely reach out to them again to watch him.”
“Leila and her pup, Marley, are amazing hosts! If you’re looking for a family to love on your pets while you can’t I recommend this family! 6 older children in the house means your pets are always being loved on! Leila has a huge space in her living room for your pets to play and her backyard is a dog’s playground with everything they can explore! My one dog is a runner and Leila kept him safe and spoiled with his fun walks! Many pictures sent along with updates on how the pets are doing! We will definitely be repeat clients! Thanks, Leila!! 🤗”
“Monica was great. She allowed Sherpa to get accustomed to the surroundings and she had no problem accepting his large sleeping bed. She provided lots of pics to let us know he was fine and was very accommodating when we had to pick him up early. Great person to watch your pet!”
“If you would like a SUPER dog sitter for your fur baby, Shantel is your answer! She was a wonderful communicator during pre-care set up and all thru our fur baby's stay. (Although she did spoil him just a bit)! There is no question in our family that she will be the only person we request in the future if we are traveling in her area. We hope to see her in Sept and next summer again! THANKS to you Shontel and Jose for being Super awesome to our dog Zero. He misses you both!”
“This is my second time booking with Gwen. Each time was a phenomenal experience. Gwen was extremely thoughtful, provided frequent updates, and several pictures of my pup's vacation. Always appreciated, thank you!”
“Elaine was great with my pup Nugget. She sent daily pictures and updated me each evening about Nugget's day. It was wonderful to be able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my fur baby was in such good hands. Will definitely book Elaine again!”
“Thank goodness for Emily!!! We had a family emergency and she helped immensely. We also had to keep extending our dog’s stay with her day by day. Being able to focus on my daughter’s health knowing that my pup was okay was very comforting. I cannot recommend Emily enough! Thank you!!”
“Ana was an absolute pleasure to work with! From the very first message she was warm, friendly, and super responsive. Communication was excellent the entire time — she kept us updated with photos and check-ins so we never had to wonder how the pups were doing. Our dogs clearly had a fantastic time with her. They came home happy, relaxed, and tired in the best way. It’s obvious Ana genuinely loves dogs and knows how to make them feel comfortable and cared for. We feel so lucky to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!”
“Scott continues to do an amazing job as a dog sitter for our dog Odysseus. Our dog has surgery and he is more anxious now. I was nervous about him staying someplace overnight again but we trust Scott and again he did not disappoint. He is so caring about animals in general. Shows so much compassion and love. Honestly, if you need a sitter or care in the area for your pets Scott is it! Thank you so much Scott!”
“Scotty was fantastic with my dog Chloe and he made the whole process really easy. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs he watches. I especially appreciated that he even came to pick up my dog, which was a huge help. I’d definitely trust him with my dog again and highly recommend him to others.”
“Jazmine (and her boyfriend Norman) took wonderful care of our 12-year-old black Lab, Judy, who is a cancer survivor and a bit particular—sweet, but needy and not a fan of other dogs. Jazmine cared for her in her home, made sure she had her morning medicine, and sent us daily updates with snuggle photos that made us feel completely at ease. Judy was clearly loved and beautifully looked after. Warm, professional, and trustworthy—highly recommend.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Sharon. She’s an amazingly, caring woman who took exceptional care of Pia, my 14 year-old Shih Tzu in her home. And I encourage anyone else who wants a dog sitter - who takes small dogs, only one at a time, and is genuinely interested & attentive to your fur baby’s needs - book with Sharon. Highly recommend. I already have another trip planned, & Pia will be with Sharon in her lovely ranch home & fenced yard!”
“Marie was easy to work with and helped get a last minute overnight set up for my mom’s dog. She was responsive, provided updates. Will use again if we are ever in the area.”
“Isabella did a great job caring for Roxie. She sent a bunch of nice pictures and reported that Roxie got along very well with her dogs, which was great to hear. Isabella is cheerful, flexible and very responsive to my messages both before and during the stay”
“Rochelle was very attentive to our Gerberian puppy. She made sure he had playtime outside everyday and took him for walks. She even helped us train him to walk with a leash. I would definitely book her services on Rover again. Me and Duke thank her for her kindness.”
“We boarded our 60lb Golden Doodle with Kathy for 7 nights. She was very well looked after, happy and healthy when we returned. kathy is great to work with and sent updates and was very careful to ask questions and follow suggestions of our dogs care. She's also a lovely lady and good communicator”
“Our dog, Frankie, stayed with Marleny and Luis for the second time! He had a great time playing and relaxing with them. They were so responsible, flexible and kind. We even got to keep up with our boy throughout the weekend through pictures sent! We would bring him back there.”
“Heaven was very responsive and took wonderful care of our senior dog. She sent pictures and was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. I would certainly use her again.”

“Gilian is FANTASTIC! She had an instant rapport with all 3 of our kitties and she also was able to administer a pill to our cat Bruno easily. She has been awesome with communication and followed all our instructions perfectly. A+!”
“Ashley was instantly trustworthy which was our main concern. She was patient and respectful with us and our animals. We enjoyed our time away fully since we had no worries that our cats would be loved. We would love to hire her again!! Great communicator and sent lots of photos!!”
“Jamie has been a lifesaver! She is extremely accommodating and my dogs have really enjoyed this new social interaction. She even came to my house before we officially booked in order to meet both dogs, one of which is hesitant towards strangers (but now loves her!). Would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone!”
“Gwen was just fantastic. She took care of my cats and my house as if it were her own. I would definitely use Gwen again and recommend her to anyone needing a cat/house sitter.”
“Autumn did a great job! She gave attention to all 5 cats, fed them and played with them. One cat needed a pill and the other an insulin injection. She did great and we would have her sit for us again!”
“Jennifer was excellent. Prompt, attentive, and went above and beyond to care for my cats while I was away. She gave detailed information and sent me pics, which was awesome! Even though the cats were hiding!”
“Jenna communicates so well! Inga is a rescue who had a rough 2 years as a pup. It has taken Inga 14 years of TLC from us to get to where she is - lovable and sweet. Jenna is experienced and knows how to approach Inga and win her over her affection. Kudos to Jenna❣️”
“Melissa and Angel were great with Meeka , she sent me pictures and videos through the weekend. Meeka looked very happy and relaxed at their house. We will definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes for over 5 years and personally own a husky and a Belgian Malinois mix, so I’m very experienced with high-energy and large breeds. I’m comfortable with structured walks, basic obedience reinforcement, crating, feeding schedules, and giving lots of exercise and attention. Friends, neighbors, and family trust me to care for their pets as if they were my own! Your pets safety and comfort are always my top priority. I currently work part-time while attending college, which gives me flexibility during the week. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting on most weekdays and weekends. My schedule allows me to provide consistent care, exercise, and attention to your pet. I prioritize safety and clear communication. I always follow owner instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, and routines. I’m comfortable using crates if needed and ensuring doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times. I provide regular updates and photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.
About: I've always wanted a cat of my own, but unfortunately my family is allergic. Even though I haven't been able to have one at home, I've always loved being around cats and have taken the time to learn how to properly care for them. I understand the importance of keeping litter boxes clean, providing fresh food and water, respecting each cat's unique personality, and giving them attention on their own terms. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers a quiet companion, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I'll give them plenty of affection (if they want it!), keep their routine consistent, and provide updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I know that every cat is different, and I'll always care for yours with the same patience, respect, and love I'd give my own if I were lucky enough to have one.

I’m comfortable with medication administration, post-surgery care, and recognizing signs of distress. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities!

“Leila was amazing, this was the first time Ash had been away from us since we got him last year. He was nervous and made a mess at Leila's, she was so kind about it! We are working on his anxiety and she made it much easier for us to leave him for the day. We will absolutely be using her again!”

“Thanks, Jenna! I should have mentioned Inga’s poop has been loose the last couple of days. We think it’s a combo of her heartworm/flea tick medication that is now in a combined dose and that we had decreased the amount of rice we give her. Not a good move…we’re upping the amount of rice, again.”
“Gill was able to do a meet-and-greet with us and walk Poppy on short notice! It is reassuring knowing that our puppy was able to have great care right off the get-go. Gill sent us pictures and gave us a descriptive update on how the walk went while we weren't home. We appreciate her love for animals and the thoroughness of care!”

For the past 15 years, since I was 15 years old, I’ve cared for almost every species of house pet you can think of, in just about every way that the owners needed. I genuinely love animals. Playing with them, training them, caring for them, it’s such a rewarding experience for both of us. I have 4 cats and 2 dogs of my own, and they make my life so much better. I’m always building cat walls and catios, new interactive toys for the dogs, and whatever else I can do to give them all the best lives they could possibly have. When working with my family’s business, it’s always been “customized pet care needs.” I plan to stick with that. I have no allergies. I’ve cared for all ages and sizes of cats, dogs, fish, birds, hamsters, and probably a few other species that aren’t coming to mind at the moment. I can walk, hike, run, feed, clean up after, and administer some medication to a vast majority of your pets. Let me know what you’re looking for, and as long as I can do it, I will!

About: in my years as a nanny, i often found myself responsible for family pets as well. it quickly became my favorite part of job. no matter what i’m doing in life, i always have dogs or cats to help care for. i have my own cats with various medical needs, so i am very accustomed to special needs animals. i have neonatal kitten and puppy experience, as well as having cared for many senior dogs and cats as well. do you have a kitten or puppy that can’t be left alone? i’m your girl! does your dog get antsy in the house all day? let me take them for a sniff n stroll! whatever the need, my love of animals drives me to give the best care i possibly can. i am currently finishing my degree online, so i have a lot of flexibility. aside from the occasional scheduled meeting or exam, i have the flexibility to be there for your pet whenever they need. i am very conscious of the fact that i am entering other people’s homes to provide pet care. i take the approach of hiking on a trail: leave no trace! the only indication that i was in your home should be a happy pet!
About: I have loved my socially challenged senior pitbull for 6 years as well as 10+ years with 3 cats of multiple personality types.

About: My name is Gaia, and I walk dogs with my dad - Jimmy. I grew up my whole life surrounded by animals, and love caring for them big or small! I can train young pets (although I am not certified to) to do simple commands. I try my best to make your dog(s) feel safe and happy each time I see them. I take time to get to know each pet, whether they are shy, playful, or energetic 🥳 My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home! I am 15 years old and a student. My schedule is somewhat flexible and I am available Monday-Thursday from 2pm-6pm. My rates can vary depending on how I need to care for your pet. I prefer to do drop in visits in YOUR house, I have a big dog that may not be friendly with other dogs 🙃 I’ve had dogs, cats, hamsters, and bearded dragons growing up. I am a volunteer at a wildlife rescue center and can care for any animal very well! I can feed, walk, or let your pet out for a quick break if needed.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs with a wide range of needs. I currently care for three dogs of my own, including a senior dog who requires extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I also cared for my previous dog throughout his battle with epilepsy. Administering his medication on schedule and staying with him during and after his seizures taught me how important it is to remain calm, attentive, and compassionate during stressful situations. Because of these experiences, I'm comfortable caring for senior pets, administering oral medications, and providing extra attention to animals with special needs. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with plenty of patience, affection, playtime, and reliable care. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. Since I am a Nursing Student at ESU, my daily schedule is jam-packed with classes. However, my evenings are usually relatively open and I am always open to overnight sitting! I love animals with all my heart and spending time with different personalities is really special to me. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. In my client's home, I make it a priority to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible by following feeding schedules, providing fresh water, going on walks or playing as needed, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I'm also happy to administer oral medications and provide extra care for senior pets or those with special needs. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I currently care for three dogs, including a senior dog, and I previously cared for my epileptic dog, ensuring he received his medication on time and staying by his side whenever he experienced a seizure. Those experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and how to remain calm in unexpected situations. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless playtime, quiet cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I'll adapt to their individual personality and needs. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
About: I have many years of experience with animals. As a teenager I worked at a vet for about a year were I helped clean kennels, take dogs out for walks as well as feed and clean up after them. I have also had my own pets since I was very young. Including dogs and cats as well as rabbits and hamsters. I have taken care of kittens as young as a week old to pets being days away from passing on. I am currently a stay at home mom. I have a 2 month old little boy and a 6 year old boy. I also have 2 dogs myself. A almost 3 year old beagle and a 2 year old red heeler. They certainly keep me on my toes but I am willing to take on the needs of other peoples pets as if they were my own. I know how heartbreaking it is to have to keep your pets inside alone all day while having to work or are going away and need some reliable to help with them so me being able to help you and them is something I want to be able to do. I have 2 dogs that are my other babies. While I’m home I’m constantly taking them outside for walks when I can as well as playing with them. My beagle is a cuddly girl so we definitely spend some time lounging around and cuddling on the couch as well.

During my time with your animals, I will treat them as they are my own with kindness and respect. I will be honored to help care for your little (or big) pet babies! I want this to be my full time job as much as possible. I have my internship (animal care at a local AZA certified zoo) Monday and Friday, but am otherwise free. I have a two story duplex with a fenced in yard in a quiet and safe neighborhood. I love being outdoors and can even offer hikes after getting to know your dogs a little more. I thrive on attention to detail and can even do medication administration and body examinations.
“Tara was great with our dog, Daisy. She definitely came in clutch since we needed someone to walk Daisy last minute on New Years Eve. She was professional and gave Daisy lots of love. 10/10 would recommend and hire her again. She did everything I asked and was super sweet. If you are on the fence, you will be pleasantly surprised, this is your sign to book with Tara.”

“Bodhi loved staying with Melissa and Angel! He was well taken care of and had a lot of fun with their son and the other dogs they were watching. I'd definitely reach out to them again to watch him.”
“If you would like a SUPER dog sitter for your fur baby, Shantel is your answer! She was a wonderful communicator during pre-care set up and all thru our fur baby's stay. (Although she did spoil him just a bit)! There is no question in our family that she will be the only person we request in the future if we are traveling in her area. We hope to see her in Sept and next summer again! THANKS to you Shontel and Jose for being Super awesome to our dog Zero. He misses you both!”
“Ana was an absolute pleasure to work with! From the very first message she was warm, friendly, and super responsive. Communication was excellent the entire time — she kept us updated with photos and check-ins so we never had to wonder how the pups were doing. Our dogs clearly had a fantastic time with her. They came home happy, relaxed, and tired in the best way. It’s obvious Ana genuinely loves dogs and knows how to make them feel comfortable and cared for. We feel so lucky to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!”
“Scott continues to do an amazing job as a dog sitter for our dog Odysseus. Our dog has surgery and he is more anxious now. I was nervous about him staying someplace overnight again but we trust Scott and again he did not disappoint. He is so caring about animals in general. Shows so much compassion and love. Honestly, if you need a sitter or care in the area for your pets Scott is it! Thank you so much Scott!”
“Scotty was fantastic with my dog Chloe and he made the whole process really easy. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs he watches. I especially appreciated that he even came to pick up my dog, which was a huge help. I’d definitely trust him with my dog again and highly recommend him to others.”

When we came to pick her up, she was shampooed, and even had a little bow in her hair. I would definitely leave our dog in her care again and highly would recommend her.”
“Stefanie takes such good care of Prada when she watches her. I received plenty of pictures to update her stay. It’s wonderful to be able to enjoy time away knowing that my fur baby is being taken care of. So grateful!”

“Parcha stayed overnight at Dawn’s for two days. Dawn sent me progress reports with plenty of pictures. I could tell that Parcha was enjoying her stay. Dawn and her family played and interacted with Parcha. Her two boys played with her, gave her hugs and kisses. There were two other dogs that Parcha was able to socialize with as well. She also was able to run and exercise in the yard. Parcha came home and fell fast asleep. She was on doggie vacation with Dawn. Two fun filled days. I am very pleased with the service Dawn provided. She is a real dog lover. I highly recommend her.”
