“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!”
“Ms. Susan and her family welcomed my dogs with open arms. I got updates and pictures. She is very kind spirited and have had her watch my dog Ellie before but this time she got both dogs. They have a nice back yardfor dogs to play in. I am using her again in March.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Angelo is a wonderful Pet Sitter (from a human perspective). He is communicative with daily pictures and very responsive to questions. His home, yard, and set up are perfect for pets. He follows all of your requests even when you forget to send the brush. He doesn't take too many pets at once. He doesn't force them into cages. My dog came home happy and tired, which is a good thing because she was active. I only wish pets could speak and tell us about their experience! Angelo sends a sweet note and homemade treats home with the dog too! I will definitely go back to Angelo.”
“Alyssa and her husband were the best. I was VERY worried about leaving my babies and she and her husband made me feel much better when dropping them off. Alyssa sent pics and videos every day. She was even very accommodating when my flight got delayed. Thanks again, Alyssa & husband!”
“Angela was a pleasure to speak to and she put our family at ease while our pup Ollie was in her care. Correspondence was great before his boarding and she sent plenty of videos and pictures during his 4 night stay. She wanted to know lots of details to make our pup's stay a smooth transition. She took him on walks and played with him a lot too. You can tell she really loves dogs and enjoyed his stay as much as he did! We undoubtedly will use her again and recommend her to anyone needing dog care.”
“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: 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 have a very flexible schedule and am home throughout most of the day, which allows me to give pets plenty of individual attention, playtime, potty breaks, and supervision. I’m able to accommodate each pet’s normal routine and can provide frequent outdoor time, enrichment, and lots of affection throughout their stay. I also have plenty of flexibility for drop-off and pick-up times. 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. If your dog is uncomfortable with cats, I can keep my cat safely separated during their stay. 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!
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Ashley gave to Ruby! From the moment we dropped her off, Ashley made us feel completely at ease. She kept us updated with photos and messages showing how much fun Ruby was having with her dog, and it was clear she treated her like one of her own. Ruby came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Ashley is responsible, kind, and truly amazing with dogs — we highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
“Emily was wonderful! She was able to handle my senior boy's medications without issue, and sent updates so that I knew he was doing well while I was out of town.”
“Jenni loves Dogs and his taken care of lucky a few times we will continue to use her. Their two dogs are very sweet and fun loving and there’s a big yard and the house is really nice I hope you give her a chance to take care of your pup”
“Martine kept our girl again and did an excellent job. I always feel comfortable knowing she’s going to be cared for the way we care for her. She kept us updated with daily photos which I love. She’s an excellent doggie sitter ❤️🐾”
“Hector did a great job with my dog! Well taken care of and had great communication. My dog was very happy when I picked him up. I was out of town and my flight got delayed and Hector was very understanding and kept my dog an extra day free of charge. I will definitely bring my dog back.”
“Zee did a wonderful job with our dog, Kyle. She made him feel so comfortable that he ate the first day he was there (which is rare for our dog). Zee sent photos and videos during his stay and kept in great communication. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter! Thank you again, Zee!”

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!
“Rachel was great with my cats - they were well cared for and happy when I returned, and my house was super tidy. She sent plenty of pictures, and gave them each the affection they wanted - one of them doesn't need much, the other needs alot! I will definitely use Rachel again.”
“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!!”
“Kind and loving care is what I wanted for my fur babies and Madeline delivered in abundance! I will not hesitate to seek services from Madeline in the future. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“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.”
“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.”
“Thanks for taking such good care of Lucy. She was happy and healthy when my husband got home. Appreciate you!!!! Reliable and gets along with a spoiled Dashound. Not an easy task!”
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.
“Adrianna did an excellent job caring for our cats while we were away. She was always on time, very responsive, and incredibly kind. She made sure our cat received his medications on schedule and included photos during each visit, which gave us great peace of mind. When we arrived home, the house was clean and well cared for. Our cats tend to vomit frequently, and I didn’t find a single mess, so it was clear that Adriana did a wonderful job cleaning up after them. Overall, we had a great experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

“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!.”
“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!”
“The Newsom family was the best that could have happened for my little Chase for day care. He had an awesome time over there and we are so sad that it was his official last day yesterday. I’m so thankful for their lovely and caring minds! Chase will miss you a lot!”

About: Lifelong animal lover with extensive dog experience. Fostered dogs before motherhood, currently own a happy pup and feline friend. Filled with empathy and dedication to ensuring your furry friend thrives. I’m currently working part-time and have the flexibility to help with your pet needs. I’m also available on weekends for boarding or walking or whatever you need. I have a fenced yard and a dog that will keep your pet busy. I can also crate your dog if necessary. If you need my services or my home, I will be respectful and responsible.
“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”
“Excellent experience with Eva. She day sat for my dog Batman. She was very thorough in the pre-sitting conversations, getting to know her and learning about Batman. Batman had a great time and was clearly comfortable with Eva. Overall very good experience and would highly recommend Eva to anyone looking for a sitter. Thanks Eva!”
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.
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.
About: I have had 20 plus years of taking care of my own furbabies. A couple of years ago both of the died (one was 19 years old and the other 20 years old). It was heartbreaking and now I am ready to move on. I work from home so they will have companionship through they day and I so I will be there for them 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I will make sure they have a comfortable and welcoming environment as well as getting all the love and hugs they need. I will make sure they stick to their routine you have them on.
About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I have a 15-year-old toy poodle of my own (lives with my parents now) , and I’ve also cared for my family’s dogs. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently looking for a part-time opportunity and have a very flexible schedule. I’m available any day at the moment and can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to follow any routines, instructions, or special requests you provide. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of outdoor time, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I live in a clean, comfortable apartment and currently do not have any pets, so your dog will have my full attention. I’m also happy to pet sit in your home if that is more comfortable for you and your pet. I will follow your instructions, routines, and house rules, while making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day.

About: Hello! I am Kyle and I have had dogs and cats my entire life, I love animals and wish I had space for more. Currently I have one antisocial 10 yr old bowling ball (old English bulldog) who I adopted when he was 1. I thought with some work he might accept other dogs but it turns out he prefers people and kitties exclusively in his life. My wife and I keep him entertained most days though, and he does sleep maybe 80% of the time haha. For the past 12 years I have pet sit in-home and house sit for a handful of families I know in the area. I have recently switched to part time employment to focus more on pet sitting and my art. I have found an animal rescue to volunteer with in my spare time in every place I’ve lived in. My profile picture is from an event I helped organize with Three Little Pitties Rescue in Friendswood. At my previous job we held pet food drive and “puppy time” events with the community a few times a year. Before this I worked with a rescue out in the country in North Texas cleaning up after and feeding the pups. I am available for in-home pet sitting, day visits, or dog walking only. I am a big guy, 6’ and 230lbs so I am good with big dogs but I need to know up front if they will try to bolt on me on leash or something so I am prepared. I have lots of experience with reactive dogs, and dogs who are difficult to walk on lease. I am flexible and respectful, I understand things come up or schedules need to be adjusted for you or your pets. I will show up on time and I always have reliable transportation. Send a message with a little bit about what you are looking for and any questions for me. I am looking forward to meeting you! I currently work part time and help take care of my mom most days. Pet care for me will be drop in and leave after, not staying long periods during the day or overnight. Frequency of visits and overnight need to be discussed first, if your pet has high needs and frequent potty breaks I would likely not be the best sitter for you. You and your pets comfort is my highest priority. I know how scary it is to leave your best friends with a new person and I want to make that as easy as possible. Tell me your dogs quirks, give me that multiple page document of hand written pet sitting notes. You know your pet best, if lots of treats is best or talking really softly or whatever helps your pet feel more comfortable. Generally animals feel comfortable around me, and skittish ones I have unlimited patience with. I have worked with lots of dogs and cats who hide or bark/hiss around new people. I know how to read body language and give them space when needed and try to get them to trust me being in their space.
“AJ is a true animal lover with a huge heart and thoughtful spirit. Our beasties had never been apart from us for more than a day, so having AJ come walk them every day for a week ensured they got their exercise and affection, and meant they could remain at home. AJ provided detailed updates on what was going well and what wasn’t, and provided feedback on ways we could help the dogs acclimate to separation and new caregivers. We look forward to having AJ at our home for our next trip!”
“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: 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: 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.
“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!”
“Kendall is great! She is very reliable and communicative. I can tell through the update pictures and videos that she sends how happy our pup is to be with her! She gives us great peace of mind and will we definitely continue to use her in the future. Highly recommend!”
“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: I'll try to keep this brief or I risk sounding like Dr. Suess . I LOVE animals, even the ones who don't love me. Dogs of all sizes, cats of all colors, anything creepy or crawley or scaley is right up my alley. I grew up with dogs and cats but also rats and mice as well as scorpions, snakes, and lizards. I have experience with every stage of life for these animals as well as a variety of temperaments and medical needs. I have experience with hand rearing kittens and in handling rambunctious puppies. Every animal is unique and I enjoy getting to know each one individually and tailoring their care to their needs! I will say I do not have much experience with birds but I am happy to learn! I have a wonderful job that I love but there are gaps in my work schedule that I would love to fill with animals ! My mornings through the afternoon completely free , I work in the evening and I am available overnight. I will always care for your pets as instructed and to the best of my ability! Feeding, walks, and potty breaks will be consistent with lots of play and attention for the animals who want it!
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'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.
About: Pets have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. From hamsters and fish to cats and dogs, I’ve always had the joy of caring for animals, and I’ve loved every minute of it. Over the years, I’ve also rescued several pets of my own, which has made my love and appreciation for animals even stronger. When you’re away, I want your pets to feel just as safe, loved, and comfortable as they do at home. I offer pet walks, daily drop-ins, overnight sitting, and boarding, and I’m happy to work with whatever routine and care style makes your pet happiest. I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed, and I’m currently in school pursuing a career in healthcare. My schedule allows me to be available pretty much every day, giving me plenty of flexibility to give your pets the time, attention, and love they deserve. Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own! I am currently a student pursuing a degree in healthcare so I will be available most days as I am attending a local college. I am happy to do multiple daily drops-ins, daily walks, and weekend overnight sittings. I live on the first floor of my apartment complex that have multiple dog parks within it. It is a pet friendly community with plenty of walking trails all around the area. I recently lost my dog from old age, so my apartment is ready to host your babies!
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.
“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.”
“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!!!”

“Ms. Susan and her family welcomed my dogs with open arms. I got updates and pictures. She is very kind spirited and have had her watch my dog Ellie before but this time she got both dogs. They have a nice back yardfor dogs to play in. I am using her again in March.”
“Angelo is a wonderful Pet Sitter (from a human perspective). He is communicative with daily pictures and very responsive to questions. His home, yard, and set up are perfect for pets. He follows all of your requests even when you forget to send the brush. He doesn't take too many pets at once. He doesn't force them into cages. My dog came home happy and tired, which is a good thing because she was active. I only wish pets could speak and tell us about their experience! Angelo sends a sweet note and homemade treats home with the dog too! I will definitely go back to Angelo.”
“Alyssa and her husband were the best. I was VERY worried about leaving my babies and she and her husband made me feel much better when dropping them off. Alyssa sent pics and videos every day. She was even very accommodating when my flight got delayed. Thanks again, Alyssa & husband!”
“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: 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 have a very flexible schedule and am home throughout most of the day, which allows me to give pets plenty of individual attention, playtime, potty breaks, and supervision. I’m able to accommodate each pet’s normal routine and can provide frequent outdoor time, enrichment, and lots of affection throughout their stay. I also have plenty of flexibility for drop-off and pick-up times. 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. If your dog is uncomfortable with cats, I can keep my cat safely separated during their stay. 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!
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Ashley gave to Ruby! From the moment we dropped her off, Ashley made us feel completely at ease. She kept us updated with photos and messages showing how much fun Ruby was having with her dog, and it was clear she treated her like one of her own. Ruby came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Ashley is responsible, kind, and truly amazing with dogs — we highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
“Emily was wonderful! She was able to handle my senior boy's medications without issue, and sent updates so that I knew he was doing well while I was out of town.”
“Hector did a great job with my dog! Well taken care of and had great communication. My dog was very happy when I picked him up. I was out of town and my flight got delayed and Hector was very understanding and kept my dog an extra day free of charge. I will definitely bring my dog back.”
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.
“I can’t even put into words how amazing Amy was. She didn’t even hesitate when I told her we had a puppy. She was so patient and kind and checked in several times a day with an update and pictures. I felt like I had dropped him off at family’s! Her house is set up so perfectly for accommodating anything we needed and she just went above and beyond. Seriously, she put my mind so at ease and left me with no worries. That was priceless.”
“Mia was very flexible and took care of my two animals, treating them as royalty. I had to extend my request a bit longer and she was able to accommodate. Received multiple updates during their stay as well as pictures, so I could definitely tell they were in great hands. Hands down, one of the best pet sitters I have dealt with since using this platform. THANK YOU, Mia B!!!”
“Thi and Jace did a wonderful job. They kept our dogs busy with a lot of activities and sent updates twice a day with a ton of photos. Our kids loved looking at the photos during our vacation and were excited to see their dogs.”
“Leon’s house has become our dog’s “home away from home”. They take such good care of him when we are gone and I never hesitate leaving him there. We can travel with complete peace of mind knowing our dog is well cared for when we are away.”
“Midas loved being with Alexis & Sean! They gave me updates and sent photos of Midas. Not only did they love on him, but made me feel really comfortable with leaving my furry baby for a few days. They were both very sweet and friendly. I will definitely be booking again if I ever need someone to watch Midas. 💜”
“Thank you so much for watching Polly and Petey! We loved how you cared for them like they were your own, and it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. The daily updates and pictures were wonderful—thank you again!”
