“Our dog has a great time staying with Kyla! Her family was a perfect fit for our pup while we were away. Kyla was great with communicating and made us feel like our pup was in good hands :)”
“Dogs came home happy and well balanced! Clearly they had been well cared for and given the proper amount of exercise. Kexin and Carlos sent lots of pictures and videos giving me a lot of confidence and comfort in knowing that selecting them was the right choice! My dogs loved their large, fenced in backyard! My 2 dogs got along beautifully with their dog and cats. They even added some healthy supplements to my dogs’ food that they add to their dog’s food! Will be using them again soon!”
“Bethany is the BEST! I love the fact that she works from home and is able to be with the dogs consistently and she walks them and loves them like they are her own. Her son Wes has a grand time playing with them and is so sweet with my fur babies. I couldn't ask for a better situation.”
“My puppy Luna literally did not want to leave. Not only are Nicole’s dogs friendly, her family is wonderful. My dog felt at home and appeared to make new friends.”
“Dobbs is family to me, so finding someone I trust isn't easy. Melissa exceeded every expectation. From the moment I dropped him off until I picked him up, she kept me updated with photos and messages that showed him happy, comfortable, and having a wonderful time. Seeing him playing, relaxing, and making new friends made it clear he wasn't just being watched—he was being cared for and loved. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Melissa, for treating my boy like one of your own. We'll definitely be back.”
“I had a great experience with Misael! He was very communicative throughout the entire stay and shared plenty of photos, which gave me peace of mind. My dog came back happy, well-cared for, and clearly had a great time. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi, I’m Marilyn! I have been caring for animals since I was 12 years old, starting with my neighbors' cats and expanding to dogs as I gained experience. Medication & Special Care Experience With years of pet ownership, I am very comfortable managing special health needs. I am experienced in administering: Oral Medications (I’m a pro at using pill pockets, cheese, or whatever trick your pet prefers!) Topical Treatments Ear Drops Meet My Pack: We are a pet-loving household! When you book with me, your pet will be sharing space with my sweet fur-family. My French Bulldog: He is an 8-year-old Frenchie who is incredibly laid-back and absolutely wonderful with kids and other animals. My Cat- Nemo is well-adjusted to a busy, animal-friendly home. Home Environment & Boarding Accommodations I want your pet to feel as safe and comfortable as they do in their own home. My house is fully equipped for secure, happy stays: Fenced-In Yard: Perfect for safe, supervised playtime and quick potty breaks. Finished Basement with Baby Gates: I have a spacious, finished basement that is perfect for giving pets their own dedicated zone. If your pet isn't fully comfortable around cats, I can easily keep them separated using baby gates. Crate-Friendly: If your dog prefers to sleep in a crate or is crated for safety when unsupervised, I am happy to utilize a crate according to your exact preferences. Whether your pet needs active playtime in the yard, quiet companionship or precise medication schedules, I am here to treat them like a member of my own family. I can't wait to meet your pup or kitty! As a stay-at-home mom and part-time kstudent, nurturing and safety are second nature to me. My classes only take up 2 days of my week, leaving me with wide-open availability to care for your pet the rest of the time. Because I am home so much, I can cater to all of their needs—from high-energy play sessions to specialized care routines. You can enjoy your time away with peace of mind, knowing your pet is in attentive, loving hands! My goal is to provide a "home away from home" that mirrors the safety and structure they have at your house. Home & Environment: Secure Yard: Large, fenced-in area for supervised outdoor time. Hydration: Constant access to filtered, fresh water. Socialization: My two young sons, our friendly 8-year-old Frenchie, our 1 year old rescue pup and cat make for a social environment, but we can easily accommodate dogs who need their own space. Crate Ready: I can utilize your pup’s crate for sleeping or breaks to maintain their existing training and comfort. My Promise: I am highly detail-oriented and will follow your specific instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and behavior to the letter. Your pet’s safety and your trust are my primary concerns.
“Olivia was absolutely incredible, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Our situation was a little unusual because my cats and I have been displaced from our home due to a mold issue, and one of my boys, Jack, had already been experiencing health symptoms. I was also leaving for a weekend, so this was my first time ever dropping my cats off with a sitter instead of having someone stay in my home. Needless to say, I was pretty anxious. From the very first meet-and-greet, Olivia immediately put me at ease. Her background as a veterinary technician was reassuring, but what truly stood out was how genuinely kind, compassionate, and attentive she is. She took the time to get to know each of my cats' unique personalities, routines, and little quirks. Both of my boys warmed up to her right away, which is saying a lot—especially Jack, who struggles with anxiety. While I was away, Olivia sent frequent updates, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious they weren't just being cared for—they were genuinely loved. Seeing them so relaxed and comfortable made an incredibly stressful time so much easier. Olivia cared not only for my cats but also for me. She understood the emotional weight of everything we were going through and showed so much compassion throughout the entire experience. My boys came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, communicative, and truly treats your pets like family, Olivia is exceptional. I would trust her with Jack and Gus again in a heartbeat, and I'm so grateful we found her.”
“We had a great experience with Nick! ! He was very prompt in helping us with a last minute reservation. Drop off and pick up was easy, and our dog seemed very happy in all the photos and videos, as well as when we picked her up. We would use Nick again.”
“Marcia and her husband were wonderful with my golden retriever Theo. I got lots of updates and he got lots of cuddles, walks, and playtime. He came home happy and tired - thank you!!”
“Natasha was amazing, I was extremely on the edge as my stay was a longer stay.She ensured my dog was comfortable and followed up and provided daily updates.I will soon be rebooking. So glad I found her. Thanks a ton Natasha.”
About: Hi! I'm a dependable, caring animal lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a drop-in visit, or loving care while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, energy level, and any special needs. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for you and your dog. I'm recently retired and love to stay active. My family and I recently lost our dog after 12 years and are looking to fill the void she left. I will treat your dog like my own and will prioritize their safety and happiness. We have a very large fenced in yard for your furry friend to play in. I am new to in-home pet care but have had pets my entire life. I am very reliable and a strong believer in communication and timeliness. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet and greet! I am recently retired and am looking to fill a void in my life since the passing of my dog Pepper. I look forward to getting to know you and your dog(s) and will give them the same love and care that I've given to all of my past pets. I have a large fenced yard as well as well as a handful of hiking trails near my home. I look forward to making your dog feel comfortable with me and my family.
“Rafael was incredible with our 14 year old beagle. We are very particular on who we leave our dog with and we felt great about leaving her with Rafael. His home is clean and safe. Such a nice and caring guy. He made the cutest report card for our dog. Sammy will definitely be visiting again when we go away.”
“This was our first time using Rover for our 9 month old puppy Bo. Samantha is amazing!!! She took such great care of Bo! He arrived to her with a fear of stairs from slipping on a couple of steps recently. Samantha worked on his fear while he was with her. He is a little timid still, but since getting home yesterday from Samantha’s, he went up and down with no problem. She even gave us tips and tricks to use if he was reluctant. He enjoyed walks with Samantha and has a new friend, her dog Mac and got to enjoy playing with him. We were updated daily and I had no worries @ all while we were away. We will definitely use her again!”
“Stacy took great care of our dog for 10 days while we were out of the country. Being far away from a much loved pet can be tough. But we had no concerns because we knew she was in good hands. When we went to pick up our pup was super happy and obviously enjoyed her time with Stacy in a very dog friendly environment.”
“Our dog had a great time with Emilee and her family. Emilee was very attentive to our boy's specific needs. Emilee was very easy to communicate with and sent regular updates and photos during his visit. We look forward to using Emilee for pet sitting services in the future!”
“Karen is very sweet and caring. She loves pups and treats them as their own. Our dog stayed with her while we were on vacation for a week and we were not worried at all. Her dog is gentile and very playful which our dog loved. They played together a lot and it was sad to take her away from him when we got home. We will definitely be rebooking!”
“Leaving our dog Winnie with Cierra was one of the easiest Rover experiences we have had! Winnie seemed right at home from our first meeting! Loved getting pictures of our dog while away travelling! Easy recommendation.”
“Danielle was wonderful with Cody. He warmed up to her quickly. She picked him up and dropped him off which was a huge convenience for us. Danielle sent pics of Cody every day so we could see how happy and relaxed he was. They took Cody for walks and her son played with Cody. Will definitely be contacting Danielle for future care.”

“Heather is a top-shelf pet sitter who goes above and beyond to keep pets happy and well cared for. She house-sat for about 10 days for my 2 cats, one of whom has chronic illnesses and is shy. She quickly ingratiated herself with both boys more effectively than any other family member, friend or pet professional ever has done. She is highly organized and focused, paying attention to details to provide the best care for them. I came home to 2 happy and healthy boys and a spotless house. I think they will miss her. I would not hesitate to use her services again.”
About: My pet-sitting journey actually began with cats! When I was 12 years old, I started pet sitting for my neighbors' cats, and I have been caring for feline friends ever since. From playful kittens to gentle seniors, I understand that cats have unique personalities, boundaries, and care requirements. What I Offer for Cats: Lifelong Experience: I understand cat body language and know how to build trust with shy, nervous, or independent cats. I let them set the pace for socialization. Kitten and Senior Care: As a cat mom to Nemo (who were born in late 2025), I am right in the thick of kitten energy, socialization, and playtime. I also have plenty of experience caring for older cats who just want a quiet lap to sleep on. Comfort with Medications: If your cat requires daily care, I can confidently administer oral medications (pills or liquids), topicals, and ear drops. Safe, Cat-Friendly Environment: If your cat is boarding with me, my home features a finished basement equipped with baby gates, allowing me to easily create a quiet, dog-free sanctuary just for them if they prefer peace and quiet away from my dogs Daily Care & Play: I am happy to keep litter boxes pristine, stick to precise feeding schedules, and provide plenty of enrichment—whether that’s feather-wand playtime, grooming sessions, or just quiet companionship
About: I have had cats since I was born, and I grew up learning how to care for and respect animals. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, walk, and play with their pets. I am doing part time work while going through school, so I welcome caring for pets as an opportunity to provide quality love and attention to them. I will treat your pets with as much love as I give my own. I welcome any details you want to share regarding your pets' personalities and any special care they need.
About: Cats have always had a special place in my heart. I currently live with two cats. One is just turning 2 and the other one is 9 so I’m very familiar with their unique personalities, routines, and care. I know that every cat is different—some are playful and social, while others prefer a quiet space and gentle attention. I’m comfortable feeding, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your cat with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own!
“Carley took excellent care of my kitties while I was away for the first time since moving to a new home! She followed my info for feeding, playing etc to the tee and sent lots of photos during her visits. I could tell both my cats were super comfortable with her and were getting lots of love while I was away 🥰”
About: The age of 16 was my first pet sitting gig with a kitty. She belonged to my Dad's boss and she was a delight to hang out with while I did homework. I also take care of my sister's four cats. (Well, I like to call one mine because he's so attached to me now haha). I make sure kitties get their attention they need, while other routine stuff is taken care of.
“I'm so happy I found Samantha to help out with my kitty, Charlie, who requires two insulin shots a day for her diabetes. It was my first time going out of state since my cat's diagnosis, but Samantha's thorough communication at every visit helped assure me that my cat was in good hands. She followed the instructions for our cat perfectly which I also really appreciate. We look forward to using her again in the future.”
“Marie took very good care of our kitty Maia. We could tell she was provided for very carefully when we got home. Anything we asked her to do was done and our place was also left super spotless. We’re very happy with the care and love that was given to our sweet girl. Although we missed her tremendously, we knew she was in great hands and that made our trip even better.”
About: I am a retired woman with plenty of extra love to give. I’ve babysat and taken care of numerous dogs and cats. I have a very quiet demeanor, which animals seem to appreciate. I know how important your pet is to you, it’s an extension of your family. I will often send videos or pictures of your pet when we are together. I am retired so my day is pretty much open. I have a very flexible schedule. Petra family members I will take care of yours as an extension of my own family For the taking care of pets in my home, or at the owners home, whatever the rules and regulations are per the homeowner are the rules that I go by
“Tony took great care of our three doggies! He was so flexible for our meet & greet, so attentive to the doggies, and communication was so easy. Will definitely request Tony again.”
About: I have 10+ years experience in caring for felines between our own and caring for others while they are away. I am pet cpr/ first aid certified through the American Red Cross and I have experience administering medications along with insulin for diabetes care. I strive to leave your litter boxes sparkling clean and your feline friends happy and healthy while you are away.
About: If you're looking for a sitter who will treat your dog child like their own, then look no further :) I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your baby with somebody else, so I make it my mission to make sure you’re aware that your dog is getting all the love and attention they need. I take pride in providing quality photos and updates throughout their stay! My dog Finn and I absolutely love having new friends stay with us. Is your dog filled with energy and needs to get it all out daily? My back yard allows me to run around and play until your dog is ready for a break! If your dog is more of a stroller, they will definitely enjoy accompanying Finn and I on our walks around the walking trail. Whatever it may be; I am more than happy to accommodate for any of your dog’s specific needs Pet care fits right into my schedule the same way the care for my own dog fits into my schedule. It is my top priority that all dogs are comfortable and cared for My dog, Finn, has always been my shadow around my house. I'm just used to constantly being around him, and I find that my guests typically like to join in on the shadowing. I have a small house, so we are all usually in the same room hanging out. I love taking them on long walks around the scenic trail next to my house.
“Vanessa is very sweet and friendly, and took wonderful care of our great dane. She sent lots of photos and texted us each time she stopped by with an update. She wasnt shy to ask if something was a normal behavior for him which made us feel at ease that she was observing and learning his quirks, especially since he is on the older side. We are grateful to have found her and I know Mac is looking forward to seeing her again!”
About: I have had many pets throughout my life I have been in charge of care for, including 4 dogs as well as a cat! I love making furry friends and can’t wait to meet yours! I am currently on summer break from school, so I am flexible to work with your schedule! Please reach out and we can work together on what’s best for your pet. I am ready to ensure your furry friends are safe while in my care! With a dog and cat at home, I am familiar with day to day pet care and safety.
About: Growing up, my family owned an amazing, but traumatized dog that tended to be aggressive towards strangers. Now, I help care for two very timid, anxious dogs so I understand and can manage dogs of all sorts of temperaments. Old dogs will always have a special place in my heart. I am currently working around 15 hours a week serving, so my schedule is very open! I have no trouble traveling daily and I love to be actve regardless of rain, sleet, snow, or heat! First of all, I prioritize giving all dogs and cats the attention they need, nothing breaks my heart like a lonely pet. Depending on the household, I will manage toy organization and uphold routines in place while you are on vacation or at worn. From medication to routine freeding and walking, I am an experienced pooper scooper willing to get the job done!

“We brought our Falco for daycare with Misael and we were so happy with the service!! Misael was super responsive and Falco seemed very happy to be there. Misael sent pictures and updates regularly. There was a nice yard and Falco was able to roam around to his heart’s content. Falco is a big boy and Misael and his family treated Falco like their own. We will be using his service again soon for overnight boarding and feel really comfortable with them. Thanks for making us feel like Falco is safe with you!!! Highly recommend!!”
“Bethany is an amazing dog sitter. Our pup loves her! We couldn't ask for a better sitter!! She sends us pictures of our pups adventures and he gets so excited to go there!”
“Enid was great! Sent me lots of pics and kept me updated and made me feel comfortable! She has a fenced in backyard and Kuna came back happy and healthy! She was very accommodating when I got stuck in traffic on the way back and I really appreciated that!!”
“Angelisa is very nice and diligent. She takes good care of my Labrador puppy. He is always very happy and when I pick him up. She handles him well and her kids seem to be very sweet with him. Will definitely use again.”
About: I’ve had the privilege of being a dog owner since the age of 13. Dogs are a part of my life and are so healing to the soul. I’ve had years of experience in loving and taking care of these fur babies. I do well with following instructions, being respectful, and creating a safe space & home for your pups. I would consider myself to be a great and responsible dog mom, sitter, and would love and take care of your dog like my own. I’m a stay at home mom and have the time to take care and play with your pups. I have space in my backyard for playtime and potty time and live in a beautiful neighborhood to go on walks for fresh air and exercise. My family spends a lot of time outside and so will your pup (weather permitting of course). I’m available during weekdays and weekends. My services include boarding and doggy day care. I have a backyard and beautiful deck to get plenty of playtime and sunshine. I also live right across the street from a large park that we can take trips to. I have a small and friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I will keep your dog on a leash while outside and/or can close off the deck for a more secure area.
“Our sweet pup had so much fun with Marie and her husband for the days we booked. So much more joy and excitement we haven't seen in her in the mornings getting ready to go for the day to her new friend's house and more still when she was ready to come home. Will only trust this couple with our baby.”
About: I have had cats and dogs for over 6 years (with many more years of hamster experience) and my husband was raised with many pets since he was 3 years old (cats, dogs, chicken and even birds). We like being surrounded by fur babies! We have three kitties and one Golden Doodle that is eager to have fun with your dog (he is very gentle despite his large size). Both my husband and I work remotely so at least one of us will be at the house at all times. We will be able to take care of your pet’s needs! We have a fenced yard (with night lights!) with ample space for dogs to run and do their business. We have a fully-furnished basement where guests doggies can spend as much private time as they want, sleep on the bean bag, or look at the window to the outside! We have crates that are large and medium in case they are needed.
“Melissa helped us out as we planned a last minute beach day. She already had a full house but was willing to take Dodger on, and he had such a great time. Lots of fun photos playing with other pups, great communication, and very attentive. Highly recommend and will hopefully visit again soon!”
“We’ve had a great experience with Trish. Gizmo is still new to us and can be sensitive with transitions, and she has been incredibly patient, calm, and accommodating from the start. He settles while he’s there (even if he hasn’t slept yet), and it’s clear he feels safe and well cared for. She’s kind, attentive, and truly understands dogs who need a little extra gentleness. I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust and feel comfortable leaving him with. Highly recommend!”
“It was the first time my dog stayed with a sitter. It was also the first time she was around other dogs. I could tell when we met Gary at the meet and greet everything would be fine. His years of experience with dogs helped Luna have a great first time away from home. He provided updates and pictures so I was relaxed knowing everything was going perfectly. I will definitely leave Luna, my golden retriever, with Gary again. He made Luna feel welcome and provided excellent care.”
“Qualynda was amazing with our puppy. She watched her for us on very short notice and went above and beyond to care for her and keep us informed. Our girl is pretty timid and was scared at first but warmed up quickly and had a great time. She especially loved running around the big backyard! We will definitely use Qualynda again!”
“Anely is amazing! I needed a last-minute dog sitter for my elderly and cranky Chihuahua, and I feel so fortunate that she was willing to help me out. In addition to doing drop-off/pick-up from my place in downtown, she also sent frequent updates and photos throughout the day. My dog is afraid of strangers, so she’s not an easy one to handle, but I knew she was in great hands. 10/10, would definitely recommend and will book again!”
“Elba is a great dog sitter. I came to Rhode Island for the weekend and contacted Elba same day and she responded very fast. She took great care of my puppy. Elba went beyond her duty and send me pictures and kept me posted. Highly recommended. Thank you!!!”
About: I grew up with black lab mixes, having at least one dog in the house all the time. I helped to raise two of the family black lab puppies through 15 years and care for the next generation, a 2 year old black lab/border collie rescue pup, teaching her to sit and lay down. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs over the past few years, learning patience from puppies, strength from sweet old ladies, and the careful nuance that comes with leash aggressive rescues. I now have an adopted a rescue greyhound in the family. She loves new friends but is also perfectly happy cat napping wherever her bed lands. Happy to host or walk, with or without her company. I’m full time at home and so I am free to do breaks and provide limited entertainment between meetings, which are never more than 1.5h. This is the schedule I provide my own pup and would extend to others. I treat them as my own. I prefer to be over communicative with owners if any potential issues arise as well. Greyhounds react particularly poorly to negative feedback and punishment, so patience and focus on pawsitivity (particularly treats) is a standard with me.
About: I have grown up around dogs and have personally trained each dog that has been in my family. I currently have a mini Aussie named Oakley! I am pretty strong and can deal with a dog that pulls on walks. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible. Rain or shine I am willing to care for your dog. I am a very responsible person. I look forward to the opportunity to spend most of my time being around the animals I love! I will care and love every dog I take care of like it’s my own. I have a car so I can travel to different locations! I truly love all dogs and look forward to caring for yours! I have a pretty open schedule and I am sure we can find something that works for both parties. I am flexible with most days or times! I live in a very safe area away from any main streets, I have dog park not too far from me. I have a dog friendly house!
About: Growing up I always had a dog or two. I had worked at a dog daycare facility professionally for 8 years. During my time there, I've taken care of various puppies to their adulthood and senior dogs. Since the facility is cage-free, I dedicate myself to ensuring the dogs have fun, are safe, and love in our care. Currently, I have two medium and large dogs who constantly love to play, whether it is water play in the backyard, going on walks, frisbee or just relaxing in our backyard! I'm currently a nursing student on and a part time barista. I only work part-time for a few hours a day, usually morning until noon time, so your pet will receive lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout their stay. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. My two dogs are very friendly and social with other dogs. I have a two-level yard, a six-foot fence all around the yard, and a door your pups can easily access to potty or play. I can also provide in-house food unless your pups have allergies and need to improvise. My house is cage free but if you’d like your pet to be crate I can improvise that.
About: We have had many of our own dogs in the past and have been a sitter for multiple dogs! We love taking dogs on long walks and playing fetch in the backyard! Your dog will be well exercised with me and get plenty of attention. We love being around dogs! We have always had one but at this time we are concentrating on the care of others dogs We customize our schedule around the needs of your dog. We love playing and taking walks with them. We create a comfortable environment where pets feel safe and at ease. We ensure they have their own space to relax, as well as access to food, water, and toys
About: I have 2 dogs of my own and foster puppies and adult dogs as well. We also have chickens. I love animals of all types and understand how difficult it can be to find someone you trust with their care. I am a Registered Nurse and caring for animals comes as natural to me as caring for people. Caring for your pets gives me the flexibility to spend time with them but also be available as a mom. My daughter loves animals and is very helpful and loving. I have a flexible work schedule and mostly work from home. I am able to interact while working and provide frequent potty breaks and extra attention as needed. I do feed separately to avoid food aggression issues which can sometimes happen in new environments. I have 2 dogs of my own and a fenced in yard. There is plenty of space to run and play and also lounge and nap! We’d love to know what your dog's typical routine is at home as well as any behaviors (food/toy aggression) or quirks we should be aware of. I will do my best to accommodate any special needs. Please let us know if they are on any medications or have any health issues. I DO NOT accept dogs that are aggressive, excessive barkers, non-house trained, destructive, or have severe separation anxiety. All dogs who stay in our home must be well socialized, healthy (i.e. not sick with any contagious diseases that could be passed onto humans or other dogs) and up to date on their vaccines and flea/tick preventatives. Required vaccinations: Rabies Distemper Bordetella (kennel cough)

“Booked Braelyn for the first time for a 60 min Dog walk. Great communicator, responsive and on time. My dog took yo her right away- she was great. Using her a few more times this week and would definitely book her in the future.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and have always been surrounded by them, as many of my family members have dogs as well. Over the years, I have gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of different personalities and needs. I have looked after multiple family members’ pets, watched my neighbors’ dogs, and provided dog-sitting care before. I am very comfortable with feeding, walking, giving attention, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for pet care throughout my day. I also really miss my dog at home, so spending time with dogs here would be something I genuinely enjoy. I already go on daily walks, and caring for pets would fit naturally into my routine. Even with my classes, I would have plenty of time to give pets the attention, care, and exercise they need. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness would always be my top priorities. I am responsible, attentive, and caring, and I would work hard to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels secure and well cared for. I will always treat every dog with patience, kindness, and the same love I would want for my own pet.
About: Since 2016, I’d eagerly come home each day looking forward to taking my dog, Teddy, on long walks outside. That passion led me to create my own dog treat business, driven by my desire to share that love and care with other dogs. It is so rewarding knowing I can contribute to the happiness and health of dogs one walk at a time. I am currently very free during the hot summer months while taking care of my dog, Teddy. I have a lot of extra free time for any last minute walks! My home is a very calm environment with no kids and one other dog. There is a lot of space outside and many friendly dogs in the neighborhood. I am very attentive to whatever it is the dog may need, (walks, play-time, or love!) as well as being educated on dog behavior.
“Cassandra is a wonderful person and so happy we found her! We have an 18yo dog who’s essentially deaf and blind and last minute Cassandra agreed to help us, not once but twice. She took exceptional care of him and was a pleasure working with.”
About: I have had many pets throughout my life I have been in charge of care for, including 4 dogs as well as a cat! I love making furry friends and can’t wait to meet yours! I am currently on summer break from school, so I am flexible to work with your schedule! Please reach out and we can work together on what’s best for your pet. I am ready to ensure your furry friends are safe while in my care! With a dog and cat at home, I am familiar with day to day pet care and safety.
About: I have had a love for dogs ever since I was a child. My family got our first when I was 5 and since then we have had three others that we have adopted as well. With those dogs obviously came a lot of taking care of them, as well as playing with them. Along with my own dogs, I have also volunteered/worked at an animal shelter for around 2 years, where I would take the dogs out each day, give them food and water, and play with them until they hopefully found a forever home. While working at the shelter, I also fell in love with some of the dogs so I fostered around 25 of the dogs during my time at the shelter until they found a family. I am currently just working here and there for my dad while I am home for the summer, so I am available to take in your dog whenever. I have no set schedule with any other work, so whenever I’m needed, I will be there. I have a very large backyard for your dog to run around in, and two extremely friendly dogs who would love to meet new friends. I also am very used to crating dogs because of working at the shelter so if that is what your dog needs then consider it done.

“Our dog has a great time staying with Kyla! Her family was a perfect fit for our pup while we were away. Kyla was great with communicating and made us feel like our pup was in good hands :)”
“Dogs came home happy and well balanced! Clearly they had been well cared for and given the proper amount of exercise. Kexin and Carlos sent lots of pictures and videos giving me a lot of confidence and comfort in knowing that selecting them was the right choice! My dogs loved their large, fenced in backyard! My 2 dogs got along beautifully with their dog and cats. They even added some healthy supplements to my dogs’ food that they add to their dog’s food! Will be using them again soon!”
“Bethany is the BEST! I love the fact that she works from home and is able to be with the dogs consistently and she walks them and loves them like they are her own. Her son Wes has a grand time playing with them and is so sweet with my fur babies. I couldn't ask for a better situation.”
“My puppy Luna literally did not want to leave. Not only are Nicole’s dogs friendly, her family is wonderful. My dog felt at home and appeared to make new friends.”
“Dobbs is family to me, so finding someone I trust isn't easy. Melissa exceeded every expectation. From the moment I dropped him off until I picked him up, she kept me updated with photos and messages that showed him happy, comfortable, and having a wonderful time. Seeing him playing, relaxing, and making new friends made it clear he wasn't just being watched—he was being cared for and loved. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Melissa, for treating my boy like one of your own. We'll definitely be back.”
“I had a great experience with Misael! He was very communicative throughout the entire stay and shared plenty of photos, which gave me peace of mind. My dog came back happy, well-cared for, and clearly had a great time. Highly recommend!”
“Olivia was absolutely incredible, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Our situation was a little unusual because my cats and I have been displaced from our home due to a mold issue, and one of my boys, Jack, had already been experiencing health symptoms. I was also leaving for a weekend, so this was my first time ever dropping my cats off with a sitter instead of having someone stay in my home. Needless to say, I was pretty anxious. From the very first meet-and-greet, Olivia immediately put me at ease. Her background as a veterinary technician was reassuring, but what truly stood out was how genuinely kind, compassionate, and attentive she is. She took the time to get to know each of my cats' unique personalities, routines, and little quirks. Both of my boys warmed up to her right away, which is saying a lot—especially Jack, who struggles with anxiety. While I was away, Olivia sent frequent updates, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious they weren't just being cared for—they were genuinely loved. Seeing them so relaxed and comfortable made an incredibly stressful time so much easier. Olivia cared not only for my cats but also for me. She understood the emotional weight of everything we were going through and showed so much compassion throughout the entire experience. My boys came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, communicative, and truly treats your pets like family, Olivia is exceptional. I would trust her with Jack and Gus again in a heartbeat, and I'm so grateful we found her.”
“We had a great experience with Nick! ! He was very prompt in helping us with a last minute reservation. Drop off and pick up was easy, and our dog seemed very happy in all the photos and videos, as well as when we picked her up. We would use Nick again.”
“Marcia and her husband were wonderful with my golden retriever Theo. I got lots of updates and he got lots of cuddles, walks, and playtime. He came home happy and tired - thank you!!”

“Rafael was incredible with our 14 year old beagle. We are very particular on who we leave our dog with and we felt great about leaving her with Rafael. His home is clean and safe. Such a nice and caring guy. He made the cutest report card for our dog. Sammy will definitely be visiting again when we go away.”
“This was our first time using Rover for our 9 month old puppy Bo. Samantha is amazing!!! She took such great care of Bo! He arrived to her with a fear of stairs from slipping on a couple of steps recently. Samantha worked on his fear while he was with her. He is a little timid still, but since getting home yesterday from Samantha’s, he went up and down with no problem. She even gave us tips and tricks to use if he was reluctant. He enjoyed walks with Samantha and has a new friend, her dog Mac and got to enjoy playing with him. We were updated daily and I had no worries @ all while we were away. We will definitely use her again!”
“Stacy took great care of our dog for 10 days while we were out of the country. Being far away from a much loved pet can be tough. But we had no concerns because we knew she was in good hands. When we went to pick up our pup was super happy and obviously enjoyed her time with Stacy in a very dog friendly environment.”
“Our dog had a great time with Emilee and her family. Emilee was very attentive to our boy's specific needs. Emilee was very easy to communicate with and sent regular updates and photos during his visit. We look forward to using Emilee for pet sitting services in the future!”
“Karen is very sweet and caring. She loves pups and treats them as their own. Our dog stayed with her while we were on vacation for a week and we were not worried at all. Her dog is gentile and very playful which our dog loved. They played together a lot and it was sad to take her away from him when we got home. We will definitely be rebooking!”
“Leaving our dog Winnie with Cierra was one of the easiest Rover experiences we have had! Winnie seemed right at home from our first meeting! Loved getting pictures of our dog while away travelling! Easy recommendation.”
“Denise went above and beyond caring for my pup! He’s getting older and recently had back surgery (IVDD), and she was incredibly thoughtful — even buying a stroller so he could still enjoy walks. She also laid out blankets all around her home to prevent him from slipping and falling. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave him and will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you for everything, Denise!”
“Nancy was wonderful in watching our dog Cooper. She sent us daily notes and photos in how he was doing and what he was up to. It was also great that her town has a fenced dog park where she could let him off leash so he could run around, which was great given he is a young, high energy dog. She cared for him just as we do which of course is just what we would want. We will definitely be calling on her again in the future!!”
“Enid was wonderful and a tremendous help to us at the holidays when we couldn’t take our Sammie with us to visit family far away. She kept us updated every morning and throughout the day with pictures and videos of our girl. Sammie came home happy and well taken care of. I recommend Enid very highly to anyone! Thanks Enid!!”
