“Michelle was perfect to watch my puppy all week! She was so kind and sweet to my dog. She would even send photos of her everyday while we were gone and is very communicative. 10/10!”
“Caitlin’s home was a wonderful place for our dog, Hazel, to stay while we were away! She has an amazing backyard and the home feels very safe and loving for dogs. Caitlin was accommodating of our schedule for dropoff and pickups and sent periodic updates and pictures of our senior pup that put our minds at ease. We feel lucky to have found such a great dogsitter in the area!”
“I keep forgetting to leave a review, but Susan and her family have really set a new bar for me on what to expect for a Rover stay. She takes care of my doggo like her own, writes down and records all her preferences and needs, and is very flexible. Won't leave my dog with anyone else if I can help it!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have had a better experience with Hunter. Brew came back from his 7 day fun-filled stay with Hunter, Sage and Shadow well behaved and exhausted! I received daily pictures and videos of their adventures, which were much appreciated ? She took such good care of him and loved him like her own. I will definitely be a repeat customer if she’s still willing to take puppies after a full week of Brew ? Thanks again Hunter!”
“First time boarding my recently adopted dog Turkey. I could not have gotten luckier than to have found Roki on the Rover website. Communicated well prior to my dropping off Turkey. Was extremely welcoming when we arrived. Beautiful fenced in back yard and very gentle golden retriever for Turkey to play with. Highly recommend Roki.”
“Timothy watched my dog, Nylah, over the weekend on very short notice, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was incredibly accommodating and made the entire process easy and stress-free. Throughout her stay, he sent pictures and videos and kept me updated on how she was doing, which gave me great peace of mind. When I picked Nylah up, she seemed happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She even smelled better when I picked her up than she did when I dropped her off! It’s clear that Timothy genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. 😊🐾”
“Liz and her sweet family always take such good care of our fur baby. Anytime we leave her there, we never worry. She has been our sitter for a few years now and have never had any issues.”
“Angelo has become my first choice for a sitter for my boys. I don't worry about them at all when they stay with him. He is fantastic at staying in touch and I feel like he takes his responsibility seriously while enjoying the time he spends with his charges. Thank you, Angelo!!!”
“Dottie is very hesitant around new people so I was anxious. Angela was very patient with Dottie and before I knew it Dottie felt comfortable. Angela kept in touch with pictures and videos of Dottie. I will be using Angela again.”
“This was our second time entrusting my beloved poodles, Coco and Pluto to the care of Emily and I cant express enough how delighted I am with the care they received. She is a true gem when it comes to looking after our furry babies. Communication is key and Emily consistently provided updates and photos during her time with Coco and Pluto. It was heartwarming to receive these messages and know that they were happy, healthy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Emily to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring and reliable dog sitter and look forward to using her services again in the near future.”
“If you're looking for a sitter!! She is the one!! My fur babies loved it! She sent daily updates and pictures, and showed them soo much live!!! I will definitely be using her again. Thank you for taking such good care of my babies.”
“Ashley was an exceptional sitter. She kept us informed through daily updates and sent pictures of Marley. Marley always appeared happy, relaxed, and content. We are incredibly grateful to have found her.”
“Abby had great communication and sent me daily updates of our pups while I was out of time! Thank you for taking care of Paisley and Moose aka my monster (he’s sweet, but a high energy chocolate lab that can be a lot sometimes, especially if he thinks he can get away with murder 🙄).”
About: With 25 years of experience raising four beloved dogs of my own, I have a working understanding of canine behavior, routines, and unique personalities. Over the years, I have also provided dedicated dog-sitting for multiple breeds, ensuring they receive the same level of care, playtime, and love I give my own 35-pound pup. Because our household schedule is fully synchronized, someone is always home at our house to provide constant supervision, companionship, and peace of mind for you. Your dog will never be left lonely and will safely step right into a warm, attentive, and reliable family environment. I currently work part-time so I have plenty of time to watch after your dog. When I am at work my husband is home to assist me. I have a fenced yard and my own dog to keep your dog company. I also have a crate to house either dog if preferred.
“Very good caregiver. My dog was well taken care of and calm. There was good communication, and responsibility was evident at all times. I would definitely trust them with my dog again. Thank you!”
“Sarah is wonderful! She took such good care of my senior boy. She sent pic updates during his stay and even let me extend a day when I had some trouble getting back on time . Highly recommend and will be using her again. ❤️🐾”
“Jenni, Thank you so much for caring for our 2 dogs like they were family. We will definitely continue to use you. We loved the pictures and videos of the dogs. Thanks again see you in November! Kim”

About: I have grown up with cats throughout my life and have experience caring for kitties with all kinds of personalities and needs! I currently have two kitties, Garfield and Lawna, who I care for like they’re my children. I understand how worrying it can be to leave your kitties behind and wonder if they’re doing okay. My goal is to minimize that stress for you and give your feline friend a caring, supportive environment while you are gone. I am comfortable with giving frequent photo and video updates, cleaning up after them, and unique feeding instructions. Whether your cat loves cuddles, playing, pets, or just some company, I would love to provide them with safe, comfortable, loving company while you are away. I can’t wait to meet you and your feline friends!
About: I’ve been around and cared for cats for much of my life. I grew up with a family cat that I helped care for, and before getting a cat of my own, I regularly pet sat for a friend’s cats while she was away on vacation. For the past two years, I’ve also been the primary caregiver for my own cat. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box care, playtime, and adapting to each cat’s individual personality and routine. My cat requires daily asthma medication, so I also have hands-on experience administering medication and following a consistent care schedule. I understand that some cats want lots of attention while others need their space, and I’m happy to take time to understand their needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
“Madisyn did an awesome job taking care of my pets. She sent me pictures of my pets when I was on vacation, was very attentive to their needs and went above and beyond more than once. I highly recommend booking with her.”
About: As a cat owner myself, I have experience taking care of cats on the daily. My family currently takes care of two cats, both indoor, although we did have an elderly outside cat previously. I'm capable of pet sitting, administering oral medicine, and cleaning litter boxes.
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of our cats while we were away during the holidays. Knowing that you were on top of everything they needed allowed us to fully enjoy our time away and not worry at all about how they were doing.”
“David did a great job. He was very prompt on each day and spent the full 30 minutes with Henri. He even helped us out by watering our outside plants for us while we were gone!! Thanks!!”
“Megan helped me for a couple of months, and in those times, she didn’t give me much trouble with scheduling. She is reliable and trustworthy. Megan is respectful of my pet and my property, and is willing to work with me and my pet’s quirks.”
About: I have had 3 pups in my life, and had a roommate with 2 cats over the last year. I take care of my friends’ pets regularly, and am used to specialized routines for pets with unique needs. I am a healthcare professional who values safety, timeliness, and ultimately kindness. I work full-time during the week, but am available for morning and evening visits. My schedule is much more open on the weekend! Happy to work with you to find the best schedule for your pet. I have taken care of pets in fenced and non-enclosed areas, and I have had dogs that are both crate trained and not. Whatever will be best for your pup is what will be best for me!

“Timothy helped us today when we were in a bind at 4:30am to find a sitter for our dog Bullet. And it worked out for us. Thank You Timothy and by the pictures it looked like Bullet enjoyed it. Timothy had great communication with us. Thank You”
“Susan made me feel at ease with her care of my recent rescue, Hazel. She was thorough with questions she had or any questions I might have. It was an easy process and Hazel seemed to enjoy her visits, which pleased me tremendously. I'll be a repeat customer.”
“Teri has been great for my dog. I moved to the Houston area for work and my dog needed someplace to go during the day that wasn't a hotel. After one visit, he was hooked. He gets just as excited to go to her place as he is to go to the park. Beyond taking great care of him, Teri has helped me find resources for him like vets and groomers. She genuinely loves all the dogs she watches and provides excellent care.”
“Hunter was an absolute lifesaver! She was available last minute to watch my puppy and did an amazing job. She kept me updated with great communication throughout the stay, and I could tell my pup felt safe and happy with her—she was so excited to see her again the next day! Highly recommend!”
“Traci, Jason and family were wonderful put sitters. Lily loves a yard, stimulation, and kindness. She enjoyed all three while staying in their home. I would highly recommend this sitter to other Rover patrons. Heather Wooten”
“This was our first time using this service and our puppy has never stayed outside our family. We are grateful to have found Alyssa as our host, she is Amazing! . She was very responsive and communicative throughout the day, Kept us posted with multiple pictures of our puppy. Her whole family is genuine dog lovers and they took good care of our puppy Mani. We will definitely book her again in the future and i recommend anyone to book her if you are considering!.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I’ve raised and trained puppies, cared for senior dogs with love and patience, and everything in between. I’m experienced in leash training, treat training, managing different energy levels and ensuring dogs feel safe, loved and engaged—whether it’s during a walk, playtime or while they’re relaxing at home. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of a dog’s emotional needs. I truly believe that dogs are healing animals and I approach each one with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m attentive to body language, responsive to their individual personalities and adaptable to their unique needs. Whether it’s a high-energy pup that needs an adventure or a senior dog that requires a slower pace and extra care, I’m here to provide the perfect balance of fun, comfort and love. It’s an honor for me to care for dogs and give them the affection and attention they deserve while their families are away. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule during the weekdays, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. As a dog mom and a mom to three kids, I’m used to balancing care and attention for everyone in my home. I’m available for walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day, but evenings and weekends are typically dedicated to my family, making my availability a bit less flexible during those times. That said, I’m happy to plan ahead and do my best to accommodate any special requests! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, safety, trust and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, routine and preferences to ensure they feel secure and at ease. I’m attentive to their body language and signals, always making sure they feel safe and loved. In a client’s home, I maintain their established routine as closely as possible—whether that means following feeding schedules, administering medication or keeping up with favorite walks and playtime. I’m respectful of the space and treat each home as if it were my own. When pets are in my care, they not only receive my full attention, but they also have a very loving and social dog to play with, providing them with companionship and fun. Plus, they’ll be surrounded by my warm and caring family, who will shower them with love, attention and plenty of tummy rubs. I create a calm, loving environment where dogs can relax, feel safe and truly be part of the family while their owners are away.
“I have found Harveys people!! Angela and her husband are the best!!!! I can now go meet with clients and occasionally do an over night trip knowing my rotten little dog will not be alone!! I am so very happy to have found them!! Thank you Angela!”
“Eva is amazing! This was our first vacation / boarding experience since adoption day. She was very patient and accommodating to our anxious pups, and her timely, detailed updates really put our minds at ease. Highly recommend her services!”
About: Hey there! My name is Kendall, and I’ve been told my whole life that animals seem to have a special affection for me—and that feeling is absolutely mutual :) I’ve been caring for and loving animals for as long as I’ve been alive 😊! I’m the go-to pet sitter for my entire family, extended family, friends, and neighbors, and it’s something I truly love doing! I care for cats and dogs of every size and personality. I know they’re all different and some might have certain quirks and need a little special care… having a husky makes me very familiar with this! 🤣 People entrust me with their babies (human and fur), and I make sure to care for them with the same love I give to my little snow bear (my Siberian Husky haha). I have experience with a wide range of breeds, including Huskies, Border Collies, Dachshunds, Boxers, Aussies, Spaniels, Yorkies, Dalmatians, German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, Golden Retrievers, Frenchies… you name it! I’ve cared for pets of all ages—from young puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats—and I’m comfortable accommodating different needs, routines, and medications. I understand that every pet is unique. Some need extra encouragement to eat, special meal routines, or just a little extra patience and attention. I’m very used to working with those individual quirks (I even have a Husky who insists on a “taste tester” bowl before eating—true Husky fashion haha). Above all, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. If you want the peace of mind of knowing that someone is truly treating your pet like their own and giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while you’re gone, then look no further! I’m currently working part-time, and I already pet sit for a few friends, family, and neighbors, but I have a pretty flexible schedule to accommodate more clients! The way I care for each pet is different based on each client’s needs. I just try to do exactly what the owner normally would do for their pet, plus I make sure to give everyone lots of attention and play time. I also can take your pups on walks if they like that. I have a Husky, so multiple, long, daily walks are just a way of life for us! I’m also great with dogs who are nervous around new people or just always have anxiety. I promise I’ll become one of their new favorite friends! As far as pet sitting at my home… I have a clean, smoke-free home, and my apartment complex has two enclosed dog areas for them to be able to freely run around in outside. There’s also a huge loop, which is where I take my sweet boy on his walks.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely outstanding! Angelo is incredibly trustworthy, caring, and professional. He gave us complete peace of mind for our very first time boarding our dogs, giving us updates with photos and videos. The flexibility is unmatched — always work with my schedule and are more than accommodating when plans change especially for any last minute delays. Communication is excellent, and it’s clear he genuinely loves what he does. My dog and puppy were so excited, happy and well cared for. I couldn’t recommend him more highly!”
About: I am here to take your pup from playtime to public access ready! We will walk and train simultaneously, extending endurance, geography, vocabulary, walking form, attitude, and responsiveness. We reinforce basic obedience, manners, commands, and tricks in a supportive, pawsitive environment using the same methods used to train professional working dogs. I am full-time hands on, so your pooch can join us as we trick, treat, and train! Public access practice, dog parks, nature trails, and home-based training all are daily practices. I have a large apartment that is easily subdivided to separate pets for chill time. We have play space, can crate, and can create a separate dog room. Pets are never given human food, but have consistent fresh water. Great sensitivity is given to temperature and texture of the ground to protect your pups paws. Each dog has their own energy level and exercise requirements, and we will tailor your dog's walks to their personal fitness.
“Shiloh seemed well taken care of while my family took a visit to NASA. Thi was well accommodating and available to look after Shiloh. Would recommend Thi’s service and wanted to share our family’s great experience!”
About: I have always loved animals! and have always owned some animals! I can go on long walks, I own a big car and I am responsible and organized! I am currently in school but have a lot of free time. I am patient and understanding. I am also active and attentive! and I know of many good walking trails 😉 I am currently working a full time job but am soon going to be leaving to make time for school and will have more free time to board and do drop ins after february but for now I work 7-4:30pm but i can do walks in the evening and drop ins! when I leave my current job I will have plenty more time and opportunity to serve your animals needs 🫡 I am respectful of others property, I own 5 cats, cats who are very social but if they don’t like something they hide so dogs will not be an issue when boarding. I also don’t mind playing with animals for enrichment reasons, I also understand if a dog has a specific diet because my cats do as well. I can promise your animals needs and safety can be trusted with me 🫡
“Sarah was incredible with Teddy. He didn't want to leave her house! We are so glad we found her and can tell that she treated him like one of her own. We will definitely book again very soon.”
“Katie was awesome! She posted pictures and kept me updated. Her dog was sweet to Wrigley and she had a playmate for the day. I felt way more comfortable knowing my pup was somewhere they were looked after and cared for on a long work day!”

“AJ has been excellent! She worked well with our difficult dog, was communicative and punctual. We have rebooked multiple times and plan on using her for walks whenever possible.”
About: Hello! I am a huge animal lover and I love helping people! I have been caring for pets professionally for 6 years now from working in a pet store and pet hotel to pet sitting, I have experience with all sorts of four legged friends and critters! If you have any exotics like fish and reptiles or small mammals I can also care for those while you're away! Right now, I am working part-time so I have plenty of space in my schedule to make sure your pets are taken care of while you're away! I can drop in and ensure all your pets' needs are taken care of and your dogs are let outside and walked as much as they need.
“Fantastic service and highly recommended. He took my 6 pound toy poodle on a 30 minute walk, ensured she was safe, comfortable, and happy, communicated throughout. Devon was friendly, punctual, trustworthy, and clearly passionate about dogs. I'll definitely book again!”
About: Hi! I’m Ayva, your pet’s future best friend! I’m a lover of all animals with years of experience caring for furry friends. I currently care for my own German Shepherd who has unique dietary requirements. This has taught me the importance of paying attention to feeding instructions, medication, exercise, and recognizing if something is not right. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, cleaning up after pets, and providing plenty of updates and photos so you have better peace of mind. I’m patient, dependable, and detail-oriented. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing with toys, or simply relaxing and cuddling, I’m more than pleased to match their energy and keep them as comfortable as possible while you are away. I understand how worrying it can be to leave your pet behind in the hands of someone else. My goals are to minimize your worry and stress by providing exceptional care and in-detail updates, and to provide your pet with a comfortable, safe environment while you are away. I’m currently employed part time, though I am more than willing to work around my schedule to fit your pet’s needs and timeline. My schedule tends to be flexible, especially on weekends. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and safe. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication (if needed), and other care instructions, and I will make sure your home is left just as I found it. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I’ll ensure gates, doors, and leashes are secure before going outside, monitor your pet for any changes in their behavior or health, and provide plenty of exercise, attention, and affection based on their needs. I will also send you regular photo and video updates so you can be as stress-free as possible while you are away.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kendall was absolutely amazing! This was our first time using the Rover app—or leaving our dog with anyone other than family—so naturally we were a little nervous. Kendall immediately put our minds at ease. She is incredibly sweet, kind, and clearly loves animals. Her communication was excellent the entire time we were away. She kept us updated and really went above and beyond to make sure our babies were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. It meant so much to know they were in such good hands. I honestly couldn’t be happier or more impressed with her service. We will absolutely be using Kendall again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring! 🐾”
About: I have loved and cared for a wide range of pets and personalities, understanding that each one has their own unique needs and routines. I take the time to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for by carefully following instructions and maintaining consistency in their routine. I also provide regular communication, updates, and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away, unless requested otherwise. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy incorporating into my routine. While I work full-time Monday through Friday from 9 to 5, I am able to stay overnight in clients home so pets can stay comfortable and in their familiar space and routine. Depending on the location, I can also stop by during lunch breaks for walks, potty breaks, feedings, medications, and extra attention. I prioritize making pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I am very attentive when it comes to following all instructions, routines, and rules provided by pet owners to ensure pets remain comfortable and stress-free while in my care. I understand every pet has different personalities, boundaries, and needs, and I take the time to learn their mannerisms and routine so I can provide care that feels familiar and safe to them. Whether in my client’s home or during visits, my priority is always creating a calm, comfortable, and happy environment where pets feel secure and well cared for.
“Eva was amazing!!! She is so flexible, thoughtful, and thorough with everything she does. She is a very reliable person and has always made my Nala girl feel loved!! 10/10. I would definitely recommend you booking with her!”
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for animals since I was a child. I continued that love of animals into my adult years. I’ve spent the last 10 years as a General Manager at a premier doggy daycare . I’m certified in dog behavior, CPR certified for dogs and first aid trained for them as well. I’ve also worked as a volunteer and foster mother for several of the shelters in the area. I’m trained in the use of most harnesses, collars and leashes. I’m currently free during the week and weekends for drop-ins and dog walks. I’m open in the mornings and evenings for providing care to your precious pup! I take the safety of pets in my care deeply serious. I understand how truly scary it can be to trust a stranger with the care of your pet. I myself am a helicopter pet parent, I extend that hyper vigilance to all pets in my care.
About: I've cared for animals my entire life and currently have two cats, a snake, and a frog of my own. Beyond caring for my own pets, I have extensive experience caring for dogs of various sizes, ages, and temperaments. My experience includes overnight pet sitting, long walks, administering medications, and caring for pets with special medical needs. I've provided care for dogs with diabetes and seizure disorders, including administering medication and remaining calm and attentive during medical episodes. I'm comfortable cleaning up accidents, following detailed care instructions, and monitoring pets closely for changes in behavior or health. I've cared for dogs in a variety of environments, including homes, parks, public spaces, boats, and around other people and animals. Whether your pet is energetic and adventurous or prefers a quiet routine at home, I strive to provide safe, reliable, and loving care that keeps them comfortable and happy while you're away. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities so they receive the same level of attention and care they're used to at home. I work from home and have the flexibility to set my own schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and reliable care throughout the day. Because I am not tied to a traditional office schedule, I can accommodate potty breaks, walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, and plenty of companionship. My flexible work routine makes it easy for me to adapt to your pet's specific needs, whether that means extra exercise, midday check-ins, maintaining a consistent routine, or simply providing company for pets who don't enjoy being alone. I understand that pets thrive on consistency and attention, and I make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Whether your pet is energetic and active or prefers a quieter day at home, I have the flexibility and availability to provide the level of care and attention they deserve. As a Director of Operations, organization, communication, and reliability are a major part of my professional life, and I bring those same qualities to pet care. I provide care exclusively in my clients' homes, where pets can remain in the environment they know and are most comfortable in. I believe maintaining a pet's normal routine is one of the best ways to reduce stress and help them feel secure while their owners are away. Before each booking, I take the time to learn your pet's schedule, habits, preferences, and any special instructions. Whether that includes walks, feeding schedules, medication, playtime, crate routines, sleeping arrangements, or simply relaxing on the couch, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible. Safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow all owner instructions, ensure pets are securely contained when needed, monitor their behavior and well-being, and communicate promptly if any concerns arise. I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big decision, and I treat both with the same level of respect, responsibility, and care that I would expect for my own. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away—and for you to have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.
About: I've always been an animal person, and caring for pets comes naturally to me. I have both dogs and cats of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with them. I've trained my dogs basic commands and fun tricks, understand how to work with different personalities, and never mind taking a little extra time for pets who need patience. Whether your pet wants to play, go on a long walk, or just have someone to keep them company, I'm happy to meet them where they're at. I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and make sure they get lots of love, attention, and care while you're away—just like I would for my own pets. As a college student living at home, pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I care for my own pets by making sure they are fed, have fresh water, get exercise and attention, and are comfortable throughout the day. I also help monitor their health and well-being, clean up after them, and spend quality time with them. Since I'm balancing school, I'm used to planning my schedule to ensure my pets' needs are consistently met. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh food and water, provide exercise and playtime based on their needs, clean up after them, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I also monitor their behavior for any changes or signs of discomfort and keep the owner updated with messages and photos. I understand that every pet is different, so I'm happy to follow specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, walks, or other care preferences.
“Mia was great! I had never had someone walk my dog and was a little nervous. She made me feel super comfortable. She took some great pictures along the way! We will be using her again!”
About: Hi there! I’m Julia—a 27-year-old former elementary school teacher turned full-time remote professional. Working from home lets me do what I love most: spend my days with animals. Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My mom has worked in a veterinary clinic for over a decade, so I grew up learning how to keep dogs and cats happy, healthy, and safe. I have a dog named Asher, who is a playful 7-year-old Australian Shepherd. I offer reliable, loving care for your four-legged family members—whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet so your pup or kitty can sniff me out and see if we’re a match. I can’t wait to meet them! I currently work from home in a remote setting so I am more free to walk your pet or let your pet outside and play with them. I care for the pets by playing with them, taking them outside and cuddling/ petting them whenever they come up to me to want some loving!
About: I have about seven years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and have raised and cared for multiple dogs from puppyhood. My experience includes feeding, daily walks, potty training and routines, playtime, basic grooming, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. Having raised puppies, I’m also familiar with the extra patience, supervision, and consistency younger dogs need. I’m comfortable caring for both puppies and adult dogs and will follow your dog’s normal routine and care instructions closely so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! I’m currently a law student with a flexible weekly schedule. I’m fully available Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with additional availability throughout the day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. My schedule gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and boarding. I’m also happy to work with your pet’s usual schedule whenever possible to help keep their routine consistent. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. For boarding, I live in a house with a fully fenced backyard and currently have one cat and no dogs in the home. I only board pets from one family at a time so I can provide plenty of individual attention. Dogs staying in my home must be comfortable around cats. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any other care needs. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates while your pet is in my care!
About: I've had dogs since I was little, and participated in fostering over twenty dogs and puppies alongside my family as a child and young teen. My family currently has a very active over twenty pound doodle, who I am experienced in caring for. I can take care of puppies, young dogs, and older dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am a student and work part-time, capable of checking in and caring for your pets on the daily. I am rather flexible and have the time to commit to longer walks and play time, in addition to ensuring physical needs of the pet are meet. I have many toys (and a lot of very durable balls) I can bring to entertain your pets, along with treats, leashes, and everyday care items. I only provide services at the client's house, but I can bring any additional materials the client may deem important.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child as well as sitting/walking for other animals professionally for 5 years. I am also great with caring for senior dogs and will give them the attention and special care they need. I am experienced with dogs on medication as well as special diets. Willing to cook your pets food if needed. My only job right now is pet sitting and pet care. I am available 7 days a week for boarding, feeding, walking, etc. Very experienced. I have a fenced yard all around my home as well as 2 small friendly dogs to keep your dogs company and for socialization. I can also crate your dog if requested.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and currently have three of my own at home. My grandma breeds dogs, so I’ve had a lot of experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs. I also pet sat for many families throughout high school and cared for different breeds and personalities. I truly love being around animals and treat every dog like my own. As a college student, I’m looking for a fun and reliable way to spend time with dogs while helping owners feel confident their pets are in great hands. I am currently just a full time college student so I have plenty of time to care and spend time with pets. I often only have classes 2 times a week so my other days are perfect for spending time caring for your pets needs! I have 3 pets at home that I feed, walk, and play with, so I am very used to spending lots of times with dogs!
“Denetria was great🙂. She was punctual, followed all of our instructions, and took photos. She even stopped at the store to purchase a leash to walk out dog. I will be using her again.”
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for cats and 6 years with dogs, I bring both heart and expertise to every pet I meet. I’ve provided 24/7 care for neonatal kittens, worked closely with adult cats, and have hands-on experience with basic dog training. My deep understanding of canine and feline behavior helps me create a calm, safe, and happy environment—whether it’s for a walk, playtime, or overnight care. Your pets are treated like family! I currently go to school for full time, however I do have a lot of free time between classes. I’m a theatre technician student but most of my classes are online, which gives me flexibility. I have two cats who are on a strict feeding routine. They are alternated between dry and wet food which I add other things to like chicken hearts or salmon oil, just depending on what I have at that time for them. They both have a lot of energy so they get plenty of play. However, I still like to find different forms of enrichment for them just to keep things interesting. Regarding pet care for my clients, I love detailed information about the pet such as their feeding times, behaviors, and needs. It’s very important to be that every animal I care for be comfortable, safe, and happy.
“Alyssa is fantastic with our mini Aussie! He took a while to warm up, but Alyssa was so patient with him and took the time to let him get comfortable. She sent us tons of pics of him during their walk. Absolutely recommend Alyssa—she is wonderful!!!”

“I keep forgetting to leave a review, but Susan and her family have really set a new bar for me on what to expect for a Rover stay. She takes care of my doggo like her own, writes down and records all her preferences and needs, and is very flexible. Won't leave my dog with anyone else if I can help it!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have had a better experience with Hunter. Brew came back from his 7 day fun-filled stay with Hunter, Sage and Shadow well behaved and exhausted! I received daily pictures and videos of their adventures, which were much appreciated ? She took such good care of him and loved him like her own. I will definitely be a repeat customer if she’s still willing to take puppies after a full week of Brew ? Thanks again Hunter!”
“Timothy watched my dog, Nylah, over the weekend on very short notice, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was incredibly accommodating and made the entire process easy and stress-free. Throughout her stay, he sent pictures and videos and kept me updated on how she was doing, which gave me great peace of mind. When I picked Nylah up, she seemed happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She even smelled better when I picked her up than she did when I dropped her off! It’s clear that Timothy genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. 😊🐾”
“Angelo has become my first choice for a sitter for my boys. I don't worry about them at all when they stay with him. He is fantastic at staying in touch and I feel like he takes his responsibility seriously while enjoying the time he spends with his charges. Thank you, Angelo!!!”
“This was our second time entrusting my beloved poodles, Coco and Pluto to the care of Emily and I cant express enough how delighted I am with the care they received. She is a true gem when it comes to looking after our furry babies. Communication is key and Emily consistently provided updates and photos during her time with Coco and Pluto. It was heartwarming to receive these messages and know that they were happy, healthy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Emily to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring and reliable dog sitter and look forward to using her services again in the near future.”
“If you're looking for a sitter!! She is the one!! My fur babies loved it! She sent daily updates and pictures, and showed them soo much live!!! I will definitely be using her again. Thank you for taking such good care of my babies.”
“Ashley was an exceptional sitter. She kept us informed through daily updates and sent pictures of Marley. Marley always appeared happy, relaxed, and content. We are incredibly grateful to have found her.”
“Abby had great communication and sent me daily updates of our pups while I was out of time! Thank you for taking care of Paisley and Moose aka my monster (he’s sweet, but a high energy chocolate lab that can be a lot sometimes, especially if he thinks he can get away with murder 🙄).”
About: With 25 years of experience raising four beloved dogs of my own, I have a working understanding of canine behavior, routines, and unique personalities. Over the years, I have also provided dedicated dog-sitting for multiple breeds, ensuring they receive the same level of care, playtime, and love I give my own 35-pound pup. Because our household schedule is fully synchronized, someone is always home at our house to provide constant supervision, companionship, and peace of mind for you. Your dog will never be left lonely and will safely step right into a warm, attentive, and reliable family environment. I currently work part-time so I have plenty of time to watch after your dog. When I am at work my husband is home to assist me. I have a fenced yard and my own dog to keep your dog company. I also have a crate to house either dog if preferred.
“Very good caregiver. My dog was well taken care of and calm. There was good communication, and responsibility was evident at all times. I would definitely trust them with my dog again. Thank you!”
“Very attentive, deeply appreciate Leon caring for our 2 dogs. One of our dogs needed an antibiotic every 12 hours and Leon administered on the dot following instructions as well as monitoring urinating to make sure our dog did not have bladder stones. Both dogs came home happy and tired. Highly recommend!!! Thank you!”
“Thi was excellent! She sent so many pictures of my dog throughout the day and gave my dog ample quality time with furry friends. She is incredibly prompt at communicating and even taught my dog a new trick!! Would highly, highly recommend. 😊”
About: I have about seven years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and have raised and cared for multiple dogs from puppyhood. My experience includes feeding, daily walks, potty training and routines, playtime, basic grooming, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. Having raised puppies, I’m also familiar with the extra patience, supervision, and consistency younger dogs need. I’m comfortable caring for both puppies and adult dogs and will follow your dog’s normal routine and care instructions closely so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! I’m currently a law student with a flexible weekly schedule. I’m fully available Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with additional availability throughout the day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. My schedule gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and boarding. I’m also happy to work with your pet’s usual schedule whenever possible to help keep their routine consistent. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. For boarding, I live in a house with a fully fenced backyard and currently have one cat and no dogs in the home. I only board pets from one family at a time so I can provide plenty of individual attention. Dogs staying in my home must be comfortable around cats. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any other care needs. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates while your pet is in my care!
“Brandon is a great host and treated our lab well. He was very good about giving our dog plenty of play time and attention, while being mindful of the summer heat. Brandon’s dog was also very nice and got along easily with our lab.”
“THE BEST!!! We forgot our dog food and they were able to coordinate getting some more for our pup. They take the best photos with their updates. The best dogsitters evaaaa!!!”
“Such a great family! I felt very comfortable leaving Gunner with Helen and her wonderful family- he had a great time and arrived back with me even cleaner than when I left him. It’s clear they are animal lovers! Would definitely book again”
