Highly-rated overnight sitters - Yeadon
“Harper had a great time! Lexi sent frequent updates and took great care of Harper while we were out of town. They have a great yard and home for dogs. You can tell they give lots of love to the animals.”
“Donte is awesome! I've never left Theo with anyone before, this is the first time Theo and I have been separated for more than 24 hrs. This time it was from Saturday to Tuesday. I was supposed to pick up Theo on Monday but I ended up catching tge flue and Donte was more than happy to watch Theo and extra day. On picking Theo up I could tell how happy he was with the care Donte provided. Thanks again Donte, you did an awesome job!”
“There is not enough good things I can say about the care that Juliana showed Meek. She is warm and friendly and Meek sensed it immediately and was comfortable in her care. I received updates and pictures of daily walks and time spent in her home. Juliana is so wonderful with communication that make you feel so comfortable that your pup is safe, having fun and in a happy home. We will definitely be using her again many times over. Thank you Juliana!!!”
“Tamikia was great and kept me in the loop with regular updates about how Dexter was doing with videos + pics. This kept me at ease and it’s clear he had a great time! 🥺🫶🏾🐾”
“Bryce was available on short notice and remained responsive over DMs throughout our interactions. I got lots of photos and updates on Wallace during his stay. I would recommend anyone to place their pet in Bryce's cade.”
“My fur baby Jimmy had the opportunity to stay with Khaing for about a week and a half. It was his first time being away from me and he loved it! The daily photos or videos kept me up to date which I very much appreciated, knowing that he was taken care of while I was out of town. Khaing was very accommodating when I asked to extend Jimmy's stay as well, which was a relief for me. I would definitely use Khaing for future stays and recommend that others do too!”
“Once again, an amazing visit with Christopher. With other dog sitters in the past, I have been worried about my dog because he has tons of energy and is very needy - he needs tons of cuddling time to calm down. With Christopher, I don’t spend one minute worrying about my dog because I get pictures of my dog and Christopher on walks, cuddling, and just having a great time and my dog has a literal smile on his face in every single picture. L”
“Renee was exceptional! She took great care of my dog Kalo. She was very communicative and provided many updates. She did a great job managing all the medications my senior dog takes. Would definitely book again!”
“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!”
“My dog doesn't like to be away from home, but Rhea makes her feel comfortable and takes excellent care of all her needs, also during the recent heat wave. Sage was happy and in great shape when I returned after a longer trip. While I was away, Rhea kept me up-to-date on how Sage was doing, which is very helpful for peace of mind. I will always ask Rhea when I need help with dog sitting. I highly recommend her.”
“Kristina took amazing care of Darby!! She bought her toys and treats. I could tell Darby had a great time and I enjoyed my vacation knowing my dog was in good hands :)”
“Megan did a great job caring for Ruby and I appreciated that she was willing to meet up beforehand to make sure that her dog and Ruby would get along. I’d happily book Megan again!”
“Michell was amazing with our dog Luke! Even during a busy holiday weekend Michell made sure to keep us updated with photos and messages! He really put our mind at ease and our dog LOVED him! Michell was so kind and wonderful. Luke can't wait to stay with Michell again soon! He is a 5 star sitter for sure. Please don't hesitate to book a stay with Michell your dog will love him!”
“Jeslyn was so sweet! She arrived at the car with treats to pick up my pup, and kept her comfortable and was well taken care of. Great communicator, I received plenty of pictures throughout her stay. Will definitely book again!”
“Jake was very easy to communicate with and it was clear our pup was treated very well during her stay with him. We really appreciated him watching her on relatively short notice and we would definitely reach out to Jake again in the future.”
“Diana was amazing with our pups. It was such a last minute need when we found out my mom had Covid and couldn’t watch our 2 dogs for Memorial Day weekend. Diana was right there. She took them in, cared for them, took pictures and asked essential questions. The pups were happy and healthy when picked up and clearly had a great weekend. We are so grateful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Liam was great with keeping me in the loop and sending pics! He was flexible with drop off and pick up. I’m glad Raff had some furry friends to play with as well :)”
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all sizes for friends and neighbors, but I also have volunteer as a Day Adventurer at ACCT. This has given me invaluable experience with diverse temperaments and leash-handling for dogs of all sizes. I grew up with dogs, but don’t currently have one of my own. Whether your dog requires a strict crate schedule, specific walk times, or high-energy exercise, I am happy to do whatever they need to feel safe and enjoy their time while your away. Availability: I recently ended employment at Penn as a Project Manger in June and currently enjoying summer- working from home on applications so I am ideally suited for dogs who enjoy a morning and evening "adventure" with a calm midday nap! My apartment is adjacent to park and SRT. I currently work full time as a research project manager at Penn M-F 9-5 with occasional WFH. I am free weekends for adventures with your pup. My apartment is neat and your dog can be free to roam or if has a certain crate schedule happy to follow. Right outside my apartment is a park with lots of green space and close to schuylkill river trail.

“Jay was a fantastic pet sitter from start to finish. The meet and greet was solid and put us at ease. They were thoughtful and attentive, even asking where the toys were so they could make sure the cats had plenty of playtime. Throughout the stay, Jay was very communicative and kept us updated regularly. The photos they sent were great and reassured us that our 2 kitties were happy and well cared for. We’d absolutely book with Jay again.”
“10/10 recommend Ana. My cat loved when she came to check on him and she took excellent care of him. Ana takes very thorough notes on pet care and did everything exactly as I asked her to. I cannot recommend her more highly for all your pet care needs!”
“Everything went smoothly with Jennifer watching my little kitties over the weekend. She provided us with great pics and detailed visitation logs and her communication was great!”
“Alyssa was responsive and took great care of our cat. She sent us cute pictures of him during each visit, which is so nice. We'll definitely rebook with Alyssa next time we have to travel!”
“Jada is excellent. Quick and painless with watching my beloved babies. Toward the end of the visit my VERY standoffish girl that usually stays away from people offered some cuddles which was pretty much a stamp of approval. Attentive, quick, and made sure to come on time to feed my babies. Will be booking again.”
“Evelyn was able to do drop-in visits on short notice to administer daily medicine for my cat when I was unexpectedly out of town. Evelyn will always be my first choice for cat sitter!”
“Tamikia did a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were away. She came at the scheduled time and did all that was asked of her and more. She made us feel very comfortable leaving our cat in her care. We enjoyed receiving the daily updates and photos while we were away. We would definitely hire her again!”
About: My three years of experience have taught me that every dog possesses a unique personality and set of needs. I prioritize your pet's comfort and happiness by treating them as if they were my own. My approach centers on maintaining a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine, whether that involves strict adherence to dietary schedules or managing high-energy play. I hold certifications in Experience with senior pets and Experience with special needs pets. I remain calm during emergencies, prioritizing quick, responsible decision-making while keeping you fully informed. I am punctual, kind, and empathetic, and I truly enjoy helping shy dogs come out of their shells. With my own reliable transportation, I am ready to provide your dog with the dedicated care they deserve. I look forward to treating your beloved companion with the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walks throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to provide reliable, consistent walks and plenty of exercise, attention, and care. Animals have always been a part of my family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. My childhood dog lived to be 15 years old, and I was there to help care for him throughout his life, especially in his senior years when he needed extra support. He was truly my best friend and taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and attentive care. Today, I care for my own dog and cat every day by feeding them, giving them attention, and making sure they are happy and healthy. I walk my dog before and after work and throughout the day as needed, and I enjoy spending quality time playing with both my dog and cat. I have a genuine love for animals, but dog walking is something I especially enjoy. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities, and I will treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets.

“Zenith has been wonderful to work with - she is friendly, takes great care of my pets, and is overall an amazing sitter! She is very communicative when watching over my cats, and lets me know if any issues arise during her visits. I would 100% recommend her to watch your pets.”
“Really cared for the cats, great communicator, and kind person! It was so nice to go away knowing the cats would not only be cared for but they would be cuddled and loved! Could not recommend her more!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Yeadon
“Donte was great with Blue. He really helped us out with a last-minute weekend daycare booking, and Blue was very excited to go back. We received photos and videos during his visits and we will definitely look to Donte for future daycare visits.”
“Christopher always do an amazing job with my puppy. He sends so many pictures and spend time outside. My puppy always come home happy and tired! Thank you so much!”

“Terrific and caring, they care for our yellow lab. This is our first experience, leaving our dog off with someone and we were delighted that this was the perfect place to be. Our dog came back happy, safe, and is looking forward to more visits.”
About: A lover of animals of all sorts, I've rescued and cared for cats of my own for over 40 years. My family had dogs including a Beagle and a Lhasa Poo while I was growing up, and I'm the one who always says, "Can I say hi?!" when I see someone out walking their dog. I volunteered at Main Line Animal Rescue, Providence Animal Rescue, and pet store based cat rescues and have received dog handling and walking training. I am equipped and eager to provide your pets with quality time and care. I have groomed cats, walked the big dogs, and cleaned bunny litter. Clients, friends, and co-workers have been happy with my services and I enjoy connecting my work with one of my passions. If you scroll my photos, I admit I haven't cared for alpacas. But I'd love to learn how! I'd be happy to make your getaways, vacations, or travel for work less stressful for you by caring for your pets and home. I give plenty of updates and photos,with regular reports on food and treats, litter or potty time, and general behavior. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to book well in advance or to jump in for last minte bookings. Just let me know your needs and I'll do my best to make it work. Book ahead for your fall and winter travel plans! Taking care of your pets in your home is a responsibility and a privilege, allowing your pets to have their safe spaces and comforts while you're away. If house-sitting or dropping in for care or walks, I'll follow your suggestions and directions to deliver the best possible care. I am mature, responsible, and experienced, so you can feel confident in my reliability. Note: I do not provide care for wild animals outside clients' homes, including squirrels, raccoons, foxes, possums, or other rodents. I am happy to fill bird feeders and take care of fish or other indoor pets.
“Julianna was amazing from the moment we met! I could tell she has so much love for dogs and such a caring person that I immediately felt comfortable scheduling my little baby 🐶 with her She was also communicating very well , asking the right questions about Leo’s care which I very much appreciated We will definitely be back ! Thank you so much for loving Leo while he was at your house! See you soon again”
“Deena was very accommodating and good with my dog. This was my first time using Rover and she made the experience great! She took care of my little guy!!! Thank you”
“Both my dogs had such a great time with Olga!! They both came home and went straight to sleep. She quickly responded to my request (even late at night) and sent me updates through the day so I knew my pups were safe. I highly recommend her for dog daycare/ sitting. Thanks again!”
“Tim came highly recommended, and now I know why! He was so understanding and patient as I navigated having him care for my senior dog, and he was clearly attentive to her. I will be back!”
“I can’t thank Tim enough for being such a lifesaver and amazing sitter! I had a very last minute need for a sitter over the July 4th weekend while I was working and he stepped up in the biggest way. He walked Coco multiple times a day and gave the most adorable summaries of their day together. Coco sprinted to him immediately after only one day and it was obvious she had a great time despite the terrible 100 degree weather that weekend. I can’t thank him enough and can’t wait for him to sit coco again!”
About: I have had pets since I was 9 years old. I have taken care of my own pets, as well as friends and family’s pets since I was a teenager. I have a dog (curly white dog in photos), that lives with me. He likes to keep to himself and has never had any issues with other dogs during a stay. I work from home all week so can accommodate any needs your fur baby will need. Although I am at my desk most of the day, I am flexible with any pet needs your pet will need. I have a small, gated area at the back of my residence that can allow for any quality outdoor time. Plenty of grass to run around in!
About: Just over a year ago I've had the experience and joy to care of my friends dog. I was able to take her home for a month and make sure she well loved. We walked, played, did some tricks and got to enjoy each other company. Ever since then I've always been fascinated about dogs especially huskies they are my favorite! Don't get me wrong I love other dogs as well, especially the ones who waggles their tail in excitement! One day I will have a dog of my own and be able to nourish and care for it the same way I'm able to do with other dogs today. But until then I will continue to play and love each dog equally. I’m home 24/7 so your dog will have my undivided attention. I also can give your dog a bath if need and take good care of them. I have a fenced backyard that is properly fenced for a dog scroll around. I typically enjoy walking so I don't mind taking walks with your pups rather than letting them hangout in the back yard.
“Madeline was amazing and her house is so cute and dog friendly. She was very communicative while our pup was staying with her. Absolutely plan on having her sit Barkley again!”
“Thank you so much for looking after Griffin and Bandit for the day! I'm a very nervous dog mom and it's such a relief to know they have someone who they can hang with who will take very good care of them. I appreciate all the updates and pictures throughout the day it made me feel like I wasn't far away from them. ☺️”
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats of all personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I offer help with daily walks, feeding, playtime, litter box and potty care, crate routines, and giving basic medications when needed. I also work on reinforcing training cues so pets can stay consistent with whatever structure they already have at home. I’m very attentive and patient, and I pay close attention to animal body language so I can understand how each pet is feeling and what they need. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m especially comfortable with shy, anxious, or routine focused pets who do best with calm energy and a steady, reassuring presence. I am available for pet care throughout the day depending on scheduling needs, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I can be flexible and adjust my time to make sure pets are getting regular attention, exercise, and companionship. No matter the situation, I make sure pet care is something I can fully show up for and prioritize. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m flexible and able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as consistent weekly schedules or occasional last-minute needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a clean, calm environment. In clients’ homes, I respect routines and spaces while ensuring pets are supervised, comfortable, and stress-free. I stay alert on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and communicate promptly if anything seems off.
About: Hi! I am a dedicated dog lover with three years of experience caring for pups. I’ve spent the last few years pet-sitting for families and watching dogs for my friends, and I’ve learned that every dog is unique—some need a long run, while others just want a quiet spot to nap. I pride myself on being calm and patient. I know meeting someone new can be stressful for a dog, so I always take things at their pace to make sure they feel safe and secure from the moment we meet. My Routine & Activity I am a very active person and love staying moving. If you have a high-energy dog who loves to stay active, I’m the perfect match! I live right near a wonderful park, which is where I spend a lot of my time. My routine includes: Morning and afternoon runs: If your dog is a runner, I’d love to have a partner! Park walks: Plenty of fresh air and mental stimulation at the nearby park. Cuddle time: When we aren't out exploring, I am a big fan of cuddling and making sure your dog feels loved and relaxed. What I Offer Tailored care: I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure their specific needs and schedules are met. A safe environment: I provide a calm, safe space where your dog can feel right at home, whether they prefer lounging on the carpet or snuggling up. Plenty of attention: I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your furry family member the focus and affection they deserve while you’re away. I look forward to meeting your pup and providing a fun, safe, and loving experience for them! I work from home, which grants me significant flexibility throughout the day. This allows me to prioritize your dog’s needs, whether that means a quick potty break, a long walk in the nearby park, or a midday run for high-energy pups. In My Home When a dog stays with me, I focus on creating a seamless transition from their usual routine. Since I work from home, I am able to provide constant supervision and companionship. Your dog will have the freedom to lounge comfortably while I work, with plenty of breaks for play and cuddles. Being located right near a park means we can head out for fresh air and exercise whenever they need a boost of energy. In Your Home For drop-in visits or house sitting, my priority is maintaining the environment where your pet feels most secure. I stick closely to the schedule you’ve built, ensuring feedings, walks, and medications happen exactly on time. I use my work-from-home flexibility to spend quality time in your space, providing not just the essentials, but also the mental stimulation and physical activity—like runs or long walks—that keeps dogs happy while their owners are away. My Approach to Care Safety First: I always keep dogs on a leash during outings and stay alert to their body language. Active Engagement: I love going on runs and walks to ensure high-energy dogs get their heart rate up. Open Communication: I provide regular photo updates and check-ins so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is having a great time.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Yeadon
“Gianna is a true gem!!! I used her today to walk Bear and Bailee and I couldn’t be more pleased. She was punctual, followed all instructions to the letter communicated thoroughly, provided detailed information and explanations and provided pictures. There’s nothing more I could’ve asked for! I have found the perfect dog walker for Bear and Bailee! Thanks Gianna!”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life but I love dogs just as much! I have years of pet care experience and I have volunteered at an animal rescue for several years. I’m currently a remote worker and student so my schedule is very flexible. I have a car and I am Willing to drive to you. I have experience with all sorts of animal needs. My resume includes a cat with diabetes, two elderly pugs with a variety of health issues, a grumpy rabbit, and many more. I have no problems caring for high need pets or low need pets!
“Evelyn was wonderful! She was super punctual, reliable, a good communicator, and took great care of our dogs. We are very grateful for her help and would definitely hire her again.”
About: Starting local to Philadelphia. I have been taking care of other people's strays and rescuing feral and street animals for several years. I can manage several animals simultaneously and accommodate all of their psychological and physical needs. I have provided care for Chinchillas, Ferrets, Rabbits, cats, and dogs. Dog walking was something I did for two years for my neighbors. I am currently a cat sitter, and provide drop-in visits. In the morning I will check on the needs of any animals ie food and water. I will play and walk with them for about an hour. I will have dogs with similar temperaments play with one another. After playing and walking I will make sure they eat and rest. Throughout the day I will provide activities and enrichment for the pets. At the end of the day i will walk dogs for another hour. I care for pets in my home based on their individualized needs. Certain cats are independent and would prefer not to be touched. I will foster a positive relationship with the pet slowly, and individualize their affection based on their personalities and needs.
About: Having grown up with dogs and cats (...and a couple birds and a hedgehog), and working in pet care/pet sitting on and off for about 12 years I've seen and known a lot of weird, wonderful, sweet, and silly pets. I think my attention to detail sets me apart. I want to know what keeps your fur babies calm & happy. I want to know what stresses them out so we can steer clear: whether it's the sound of skateboards or rolling suitcases, fellow wildlife, or even people. I'm ready to redirect your nearly perfect pet away from their favorite forbidden roadside snack. I also have experience administering medications. I look forward to working with you! I currently do pet care and pet sitting part time and some other gig work (varies from week to week) while I look for other full-time work. I aim to mimic your pets lifestyle when they're in my care to make things as comfortable as possible for them. We're gonna cuddle, we're gonna play!
About: Hi! I'm Jacqui, and I've always loved being around animals. I understand that pets are family, so I believe they deserve patience, kindness, and lots of attention while you're away. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and comfortable following specific care instructions, whether that's administering medications, sticking to feeding schedules, taking long walks, or giving extra playtime and cuddles. I'll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Professionally, I work in a role where trust, communication, and reliability are essential, so you can count on me to provide regular updates, photos, and prompt responses throughout your booking. I know how important peace of mind is when someone else is caring for your pet. I welcome dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, and I'm happy to accommodate their unique routines and needs. My goal is simple: to treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they have a fun, comfortable, and stress-free experience. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! I work full time from home. So I have the flexibility any day of the week and time of day for walks, overnights, and weekends. I have a backyard and front yard, and my neighborhood is walkable for extended time outside. I also have a cat who is 4 years old, so my home is welcome to any pets that get alone with others if an overnight stay is desired.
“Callie was the only reason we were able to get through the very young puppy stage with our Belgian Shepherd mix Clove. Callie walked Clove daily from when Clove was 2 months old to four months. Callie was clear and communicative about her schedule from the beginning, clearly outlining her availability with more than a month's advance notice. She let us know about any issues (all normal puppy stuff, but always helpful to know!) Callie is reliable, responsible, and kind. We loved that she left treats and a sweet note at the end of our first week. Callie gets our highest recommendation, and we'll continue to request Callie for one-off dog walks in the future!”
“Michael is a reliable, professional, and caring dog walker who looks after my senior dog in a very thoughtful and responsible manner. He is easy to communicate with and lets me know how my dog is doing while they're together. I can't recommend Michael more highly! He makes the whole process easy and puts my mind at ease!”
“Melissa is an amazing dog walker. I called her on short notice when a last-minute glitch came up; she offered to video call so we could expedite the meet and greet process. She and AJ hit it off right away, and she communicated during the entire process. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!”
About: Of course I love animals, but what matters more to me is noticing who your pet actually is. Are they the kind of dog who needs to sniff the same corner for five minutes before moving on? Are they a little shy at first and pretending not to care? Do they get excited easily and need someone calm around them? Are they a cat who wants company, but absolutely not too much company? I really enjoy figuring out those little things. I’m gentle, patient, and very respectful of each pet’s routine. I don’t believe in rushing them or treating every animal the same. Some pets need play and attention, some need slow walks and quiet reassurance, and some just need someone kind nearby so the house does not feel empty. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that still feels familiar to them. I’m also very careful with instructions. Feeding routines, medications, walk preferences, favorite toys, things that scare them, how they like to be greeted, whether they are allowed on the couch. I want to know all of it. I know these details are not “extra.” They are usually the things that make a pet feel secure. I’ll also send updates and photos, not just to say everything is fine, but so you can actually feel connected to them while you are away. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, may also help me sometimes, and you may see her in some of my photos. She has had pets since childhood and fostered animals for several years, so she is very used to different personalities, nervous pets, affectionate pets, and animals who need a little extra patience. She is calm, loving, and very responsible, and I trust her completely with animals. Between the two of us, your pet will be cared for by people who genuinely like being around animals, but who also understand that trust matters. I’ll treat your pet with warmth, patience, and care, and I’ll treat your home and instructions with respect. This year, much of my work is remote, which gives me real flexibility in my schedule. That means I’m able to spend unrushed, attentive time with pets, not just quick check-ins, but actual companionship, care, and presence. I can shape my day around walks, visits, feeding times, play, and quiet company, depending on what each pet needs. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, who is included in the pictures, also helps me out with my Rover schedules. My home is my cat Lilo’s safe little kingdom, so I can’t host other pets here. But I’m very happy to come to your home, meet outside for walks, or figure out a setup that feels easy and comfortable for you and your pet.
About: I’m currently a graduate student at Penn. Before moving to Philly, I volunteered at Charlotte Animal Control and have a lot of experience with all types of dogs! I’ve always been a dog lover - I grew up with two goldendoodles and rescued my own pup, Juju, in 2022 🥰 I’m a full time student, so I have plenty of free time to give your dogs some love! I only have class in the mornings so my afternoons and evenings are wide open. My rescue dog is very anxious so I’m very comfortable with taking care of nervous pups! I have experience with all types of dogs from my time volunteering at the city shelter!
About: I have been taken care of dogs for five years for family and friends. I have been told that my furry friends love having me as their sitter or and walker. I am currently a stay at home mom. I have lots of time to sit your furry pets. To also show all the love and care they need. I live in a house. I would walk your furry pets around the neighborhood. They would have full range of the house. I can not wait to board your furry pets.
About: When I was younger, my family and I had a family cat who we loved very much. As I got older, I now have my own cat who is my best friend. I have also done dog-walking in the past as I love dogs as well. I am available Monday through Friday in the mornings/early afternoons. I am also available on occasional night to stay with your pet if need be. I keep all items and foods that could be hazardous to my pet locked away in specific parts of the home. I also make sure to keep my cat on a consistent schedule when it comes to feeding and administering medication.

About: My three years of experience have taught me that every dog possesses a unique personality and set of needs. I prioritize your pet's comfort and happiness by treating them as if they were my own. My approach centers on maintaining a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine, whether that involves strict adherence to dietary schedules or managing high-energy play. I hold certifications in Experience with senior pets and Experience with special needs pets. I remain calm during emergencies, prioritizing quick, responsible decision-making while keeping you fully informed. I am punctual, kind, and empathetic, and I truly enjoy helping shy dogs come out of their shells. With my own reliable transportation, I am ready to provide your dog with the dedicated care they deserve. I look forward to treating your beloved companion with the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walks throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to provide reliable, consistent walks and plenty of exercise, attention, and care. Animals have always been a part of my family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. My childhood dog lived to be 15 years old, and I was there to help care for him throughout his life, especially in his senior years when he needed extra support. He was truly my best friend and taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and attentive care. Today, I care for my own dog and cat every day by feeding them, giving them attention, and making sure they are happy and healthy. I walk my dog before and after work and throughout the day as needed, and I enjoy spending quality time playing with both my dog and cat. I have a genuine love for animals, but dog walking is something I especially enjoy. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities, and I will treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets.

“Donte is awesome! I've never left Theo with anyone before, this is the first time Theo and I have been separated for more than 24 hrs. This time it was from Saturday to Tuesday. I was supposed to pick up Theo on Monday but I ended up catching tge flue and Donte was more than happy to watch Theo and extra day. On picking Theo up I could tell how happy he was with the care Donte provided. Thanks again Donte, you did an awesome job!”
“Tamikia was great and kept me in the loop with regular updates about how Dexter was doing with videos + pics. This kept me at ease and it’s clear he had a great time! 🥺🫶🏾🐾”
“Bryce was available on short notice and remained responsive over DMs throughout our interactions. I got lots of photos and updates on Wallace during his stay. I would recommend anyone to place their pet in Bryce's cade.”
“Once again, an amazing visit with Christopher. With other dog sitters in the past, I have been worried about my dog because he has tons of energy and is very needy - he needs tons of cuddling time to calm down. With Christopher, I don’t spend one minute worrying about my dog because I get pictures of my dog and Christopher on walks, cuddling, and just having a great time and my dog has a literal smile on his face in every single picture. L”
“Megan did a great job caring for Ruby and I appreciated that she was willing to meet up beforehand to make sure that her dog and Ruby would get along. I’d happily book Megan again!”
“Michell was amazing with our dog Luke! Even during a busy holiday weekend Michell made sure to keep us updated with photos and messages! He really put our mind at ease and our dog LOVED him! Michell was so kind and wonderful. Luke can't wait to stay with Michell again soon! He is a 5 star sitter for sure. Please don't hesitate to book a stay with Michell your dog will love him!”
“Jake was very easy to communicate with and it was clear our pup was treated very well during her stay with him. We really appreciated him watching her on relatively short notice and we would definitely reach out to Jake again in the future.”
“Liam was great with keeping me in the loop and sending pics! He was flexible with drop off and pick up. I’m glad Raff had some furry friends to play with as well :)”
“We would 100% rebook with Christin! Everything was so smooth and friendly that we know that Finn had an amazing time. Loads of updates and super fast communication. Thanks again for taking in Finn :)”
“Loved Robert. Made sure he knew all about my dogs needs; asked several questions. Easy to work with. Had a quick meet and greet. Sent great pictures on fun outings. Also just hanging out on the front porch people watching...party hats and all ;) I love it. My boy Boudreaux will be back for sure.”
“I am so so glad I found Victoria on Rover -- highly recommend if you need a sitter for your animal bb! <33 My dog has some health issues which affect his diet, and is a generally shy / anxious lil guy (like myself), and I can't express how grateful and secure I felt knowing Theo felt safe, cared for, and happy while I was away. Victoria has so much experience and compassion working with animals, and you can absolutely tell by her kindness, attentive care, and communication. I appreciated every message and cute picture of my pup Theo on walks, smiling, and relaxing with Victoria (and Remi, Nova, and Luey!) In addition, I appreciated the add-on booking allowing Victoria to come pick and drop Theo off. The ease of the booking and Victoria being such a lovely sitter eased so much of my mental load and stress of traveling and being away from my pup, and I can't recommend her enough. I think Theo says woof in agreement, since he came back so happy :) This was my first time booking with Victoria but I am so happy to have found a wonderful sitter and would love to rebook when I will need one for Theo again :)”
“Olivia is a great sitter ! I am so glad to have found her ! My dog loves her and truely feels safe staying with her. He goes in tail wagging ! She is great with communication and sends a ton of pictures and updates throughout the stay”
“Chazz was so great! He instantly put my mind at ease about leaving my dog Zelda overnight for the first time and when I picked her up, she was calm and happy. I’d book again for sure.”
“Jasmine did a great job watching my dog, Chianti! She was very flexible and on a very short notice. She kept me updated with pictures and videos, and I could tell Chianti was really enjoying her time. She offered to run with her, and had a great dog of her own, Sprinkles, who Chianti really clicked with. We are looking forward to Chianti staying with her again in the future!”
“our high maintenance corgis were relaxed and happy with Rebecca and it was so great to see them enjoying themselves AND completely unstressed even when we picked them up! it's a great feeling to know your dogs are not only safe, but content while you're gone”
“Kerry and Peter are the greatest of all time. We are literally writing them into our Will to take care of our dog if anything happens to us. Blue was just as happy as could be to be spending time with them. They are the best people.”
“First I used Sharna at the last minute on an holiday weekend and she and her family welcomed Poc and Poki with open arms and took them right into her home. She treated them as if they were her own. Sharna played with them and walked them every day. Poc and Poki were so happy there they didn’t want to leave when I picked them up. I would refer everyone to her if they want their pets cared for properly !”
“Our pup has anxiety issues and Christine was great with him, especially since we went on an extended vacation for 2 weeks. She gave us regular updates and photos, and I would recommend her to anyone.”
