“Selena was wonderful with my dog, Jose. She sent pics/videos over the course of the time I was on vacation. She listens to what I had to say about my pet & was so professional & courteous. Highly recommend.”
“Sarah did an amazing job with Cooper. We were out of town for awhile and she sent pictures every day and kept me updated. She played with him quite a bit and was able to keep up with his high energy. Would definitely recommend Sarah!!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, so I’m comfortable caring for them through every stage from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower, more attentive approach. I’m patient with puppy routines and understand the consistency they need, and I’m equally mindful of the extra care, gentleness, and awareness senior dogs require. I genuinely enjoy being active, so long walks, playtime, and making sure dogs get the exercise they need is something I prioritize. At the same time, I’m very in tune with each dog’s personality whether they’re high energy or more of a couch companion and I adjust my care to fit what makes them happiest and most comfortable. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I’m currently in school and working part-time, which allows me to be home the majority of the week and flexible with scheduling walks, feedings, and playtime. During the week we are available, and depending on the weekend, we are often available then as well. My husband works locally and can come home as needed, so there is consistent care and attention for the dogs throughout the day. Because of this, I’m able to provide a stable, attentive environment where pets aren’t left alone for long periods and can stick to their normal routines. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and comfort level, whether in my home or a client’s home. At my home, we have a fenced yard that allows for safe outdoor play and exercise, along with plenty of supervised time inside for rest and attention. I follow feeding schedules closely, keep water fresh, and make sure each dog gets the right balance of activity and downtime. I’m comfortable with crate routines if that’s what your dog is used to our own dog loves her crate but I also welcome dogs who prefer their own bed and a more relaxed setup. In a client’s home, I aim to keep everything as consistent as possible with their normal routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, and any specific instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure.
“I have a 3 month old kitten. This my first time leaving my baby girl since I adopted her. Alyssa reassured me constantly and sent photos and Videos of my fur baby so I could enjoy my vacation in peace. She feed her properly and returned all of her things at pick up. (I’m sure I sent my kittens whole house of stuff) She responded quickly and gave updates daily. I will definitely recommend her and will definitely be using her again. Thank uuuu Alyssa!!”
“Nick and Ashley were amazing sitters for Snooki, they were in contact and sent pictures the entire time. I can tell Snooki had a great time with them. I will definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Nancy as always was fantastic . We were a little nervous with us getting a new dog and she was only 7 months and possibly having her period. But Nancy was ok with it and handled our new baby well. I have always gone with Nancy she is reliable and understanding and most of all she sends us pictures and videos of our fur babies . I highly recommend Nancy .”
“We love Lainey! She takes great care of our dog Happy and we can travel without worrying what she is doing and how she is. Lainey takes her for walks which is her favorite thing to do. She also sends us daily pictures and updates of how she is as well. You cannot go wrong trusting Lainey with your dog family member!”
“Janet provided me with the best experience. She sent me daily updates on my baby, which made me feel comfortable leaving Joy with her. I will definitely be booking her services in the future.”
“I asked Jonathan to care for my new 6 year old dog while on vacation. Jonathan agreed and the experience was absolutely the best. You see, my new dog, Andy had previously lived with a neighbor behind me and bc Andy is a fence jumper my neighbor had locked the dog in a cage his entire life. So he was not socialized or house broken until just the last 3 months since I took him to live with me, however I had given Jonathan as much info as I knew about him. Jonathan was so attentive with Andy he even made a special leash where Andy could run in his very large backyard but yet could not jump the fence. My biggest fear was he would run away but Jonathan sent me videos every day so I could see he was safe and happy. This was so comforting for me. When I picked up Andy he seemed a but confused which broke my heart bc I truly believe my new dog wanted to stay with Jonathan. I really think Andy had a great week staying with Jonathan and I will certainly call him again when I need a safe place for Andy to land for a few days or weeks. Jonathan is the best. Oh and Andy had his own spot on Jonathan's couch just like home.”
“Olivia is hands down the best sitter I have ever had for my pup. I have tried several people in the past, but no one has matched her level of genuine care and attention to detail. My pup Winston can be a bit shy, but he was immediately comfortable with her, which was a huge relief. He also has a very specific feeding routine that Olivia handled perfectly. She is incredibly responsive and sends THE BEST photo updates, so I was never left wondering how things were going. My dog whined and refused to leave when I got him, which has literally never happened before. If you want total peace of mind, book with Olivia. I will absolutely be using her again!”
“Left Pancho in really good hands! I could tell he was comfortable right away. I also got multiple updates and pictures throughout the day which I appreciated a ton! Layla and Teddy were the best hosts.”
“Crystal was wonderful with our two dogs- She sent updates and kept us at ease that they were well cared for in our absence! She even helped our pup celebrate his birthday with a song and extra treats.❤️”
“Jacob did a beautiful job with our dog Ripley; he was communicative, stuck to the schedule we provided, and sent us many adorable photos of Ripley during their time together (which helped us miss him a little less!). I think it helps that Jacob himself is so calm, as is his space, that Ripley, who is a bit hyper, was chilled out too. Would heartily recommend Jacob to anyone who needs a safe, reliable, and responsible sitter!”
“Our dog Finnley loves Monica and it’s so nice to have found our “regular” local dogsitter for our very picky dog 😂 Monica is the best and we highly recommend her!”
“Shanna was great, very friendly and very good with our dog. It was clear that she really cared for all the animals she was looking after and took great care with each of them. We will definitely be using Shanna again!”
“Our pups loved Elizabeth! She kept us updated with pictures throughout the day and it gave us peace of mind. Very easy to communicate with! 100% will re-book.”
“We just moved to the area so I was really nervous to leave Louie with a new sitter but Alex was amazing! He sent lots of pictures and videos and I didn’t worry for a second. I highly recommend Alex!”
“Isha was amazing with keeping me informed and sending updated pics during Simbas stay. As a first time Rover user she definitely made the process easy and comfortable for my pet and myself. I will definitely be recommending her and using her again!”

“Terresa did a great job with the cats again! She made sure Dochi got his medication and also set up treat puzzles so they would get some enrichment between visits.”
“Jacob is amazing - TOP TIER! He went above and beyond while he cared for our senior cat Amelie at our home. She has very specific feeding needs since she's older, and Jacob made sure she was eating. Jacob kept her company and brushed her even with her "don't touch me" cattitude. And he provided a BONUS with taking some very awesome photos of her. Jacob is incredibly friendly and trustworthy - highly recommend him for taking care of your pet(s)!”
“Olivia is great! You can tell she really cares about your pet. She has great communication and I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a cat or dog sitter.”
“Andrea has been so great! Our Phoebe has been so happy having a new friend to hang out with her for a little bit during the week. Super sweet dog sitter and we can’t thank her enough!”
“Very grateful to Wendy for her rapid response to my last minute request. She came to meet my boys —the night before and have a quick meet and greet. Sent photos, administered meds to my kitties…and stayed in contact. Much appreciated❣️ Thank u ?”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of hands-on pet experience, and caring for animals is truly one of my greatest joys. I’m the go-to person for friends and family when they need help with their pets, and I’m always happy to step in with love, patience, and reliability. I share my home with one small dog with a big personality who loves playing with new friends and welcoming visiting pups. I work from home and my flexible schedule allows us to enjoy neighborhood strolls and park adventures, and I’d be thrilled to include your dog in our outings—or keep things calm and cozy if that’s more their style. In addition to caring for my own pets, my experience includes working with a local rescue group and fostering dogs from all backgrounds. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and needs, from bottle-fed newborns to senior dogs with complex medical issues. I’m attentive, compassionate, and committed to learning each pet’s unique routine, preferences, and quirks so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. Whether your dog is here for adventure, snuggles, or simply a reliable companion while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own and make sure their time with me feels like a home away from home. 🐾💛 I work from home, which means your dog will have plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine—meals, walks, playtime, and naps—so they feel comfortable, happy, and stress-free while in my care. I care for pets either in your home or mine, and I make it feel easy, fun, and stress-free for everyone. With experience from tiny puppies to wise seniors (and everything in between), I know how to create a safe, happy, and loving environment where your furry friends feel right at home.
“We couldn’t have been happier with the care Lauren provided for our cat Percy while we were away. Knowing he was in good hands made our trip much more enjoyable. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. We came home to a happy and well-cared-for cat, and we’re so grateful for her help.”
“Jill is a fantastic sitter! My cat Atticus loves her! She is super loving and affectionate with him. Plus plays with him! She really takes the time to get to know your pet and their personality. She is very good about sending update messages and tons of pics! We love her and highly recommend her!!!”
“Liz was great checking in on our cat daily while we were traveling. She gave our kitty attention & human contact every day & kept her fed & watered. She was super respectful of our house & communicated regularly with photos of our kitty. She even turned the heat on for us when it got cold. I highly recommend her for watching your furbaby and we'll use her for this again in the future. Thanks Liz!”
“Crystal was incredible! Extremely kind and understanding of this crazy cat mom. Send wonderful updates and many photos to let me know my kitty was in great hands. HIGHLY recommend. Will be using Crystal again for sure!”
“Rylee watched our two cats while we were gone for the holidays and did a great job watching over them! She was very communicative and sent pictures for each of her visits, I’d definitely recommend her and will rebook her in the future!”
“Dalya was awesome! Very patient with our kitty who took a couple of days to stop hiding under the couch. She was also prompt every day and was great communicating with us. She also helped bring in packages and adjusted the temp. in the house for us.”
“Ninabelle was great! She really saved the day by coming in last minute and was very flexible. My cats loved her and she gave fantastic updates throughout. Highly recommend!”

“Sarah was kind, responsive, and took well care of Oreo. Pickup was carried out within the booked booking window, and communication was smooth overall. I appreciate her taking care of my dog :)”
“Mya did such a great job with my girl Mina on such short notice! Will definitely be using her as our sitter going forward. She had such a nice time with her dog as well & was very caring for her while she was in heat changing her diaper often. Could not suggest her as a sitter more!”

“Crystal and her son are absolute gems (pun intended)! I booked with Crystal very last minute and she accepted with open arms! She is very communicative and a positive person. My little one seemed so happy and comfortable around her and her son. So much so I had to coerce him to leave😂. She will definitely be someone I keep in contact with!”
“Monica made me feel as though Rosie was in competent hands from the moment I dropped her off. Rosie is very shy and nervous, but Monica was not phased at all. She seemed very comfortable taking charge of Rosie so I could enjoy my day at the ballgame. I got numerous updates throughout the day of Rosie playing in the yard. We will definitely use Monica again when we need a sitter in the future. Thank you, Monica!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with multiple dogs, one of which I took care of myself once I was older. I had dog sat for friends and even teachers before. I have volunteered at dog shelters to walk and take care of dogs. I love all dogs and dogs love me. I am currently unemployed, searching for a job. I live in an apartment and am able to board a dog at any time of the week. I have room to play with them and for them to rest. My building has dog-walking areas and, in general, is located in a walkable area for dogs.

About: As a previous pet owner, I understand the immense value of ensuring your furry friends are in great care — especially while traveling or handling unexpected situations.

I’m happy to accommodate to your pet's needs to the best of my abilities and ensure you they will be in great and loving care. I’m typically home or in the area on weekends so I’m pretty flexible. I get my day started relatively early so no schedule request would be “too” early. I no longer have pets at home so your pets will have my full attention and care. I live in an apartment that has a fenced dog park and have many walking trails nearby for strolls.
“Im so grateful for Geneva! I was in a bind last minute and I reached out to her. She responded so quickly to my request and watched my Ralphie for a whole day! She has a very cute home with a great backyard for him to play in. Ralphie was in great spirits when I picked him up and slept so soundly when we came home. I kniw he had such a great day with her! Thank you Geneva 😊 I've got her booked for next weekend already and I know Ralphie is excited too. Thank you for taking care of my boy 😌 I know he's in good hands with her ❤️”

She makes sure he gets the time outside that he loves and also pays attention to his energy level as a senior dog and spends time with him as per his needs and preferences.

About: I have had cats as pets my whole life and dogs as an adult. I have been pet sitting for about 6 years to dogs from puppies to seniors. Times have ranged from weekends to a month. I started fostering kittens when covid hit. I have found joy in caring for animals with all their different personalities. I have become experienced in all things kittens : bottle feeding , tube feeding administering medicine (my neighbor will even call me to give her pets pills) flea baths ringworm baths, brushing teeth you name it . I have even had to help kittens cross the rainbow bridge. It has been bitter sweet , but the love they give is more then enough. All animals deserve the best treatment and love we can give them I have been in education for 20 years teaching art and currently an administrator for the districts Fine Arts Department. My schedule is flexible enough to be able to check on animals during the day so they are taken care of. I have found pet sitting and fostering to be very rewarding and someday would like to start my own fostering service . Foster group Tall Tail Rescue . My job is flexible enough that i can leave for lunch and take care of your pets in the middle of the day as well. I have three cats that have been around lots of dog and cat “visitors” . Fostering cats has helped, … oh here comes another friend

“I’m so thankful to have had Amber step in and help me. I had a busy weekend at work and couldn’t have done it without her! My sitter cancelled last minute and Amber was able to schedule a meet and greet with us within the next day! This helped to reduce all anxiety as I could see that Tucker loved her already. The pictures and updates were awesome. She was so kind and definitely a blessing! Glad to find someone I can trust!”

I’m currently in school online. My free time is used up by baking, cooking, or walking. I am left with plenty of free time so what better way to use it than to take fur babies on walks!! I think of our pets as humans. They’re loving, supportive, funny animals. All they show is love so why not show it back. 🐾 💕🐾 💕🐾

“Sarah did an amazing job with Cooper. We were out of town for awhile and she sent pictures every day and kept me updated. She played with him quite a bit and was able to keep up with his high energy. Would definitely recommend Sarah!!”
“I have a 3 month old kitten. This my first time leaving my baby girl since I adopted her. Alyssa reassured me constantly and sent photos and Videos of my fur baby so I could enjoy my vacation in peace. She feed her properly and returned all of her things at pick up. (I’m sure I sent my kittens whole house of stuff) She responded quickly and gave updates daily. I will definitely recommend her and will definitely be using her again. Thank uuuu Alyssa!!”
“We love Lainey! She takes great care of our dog Happy and we can travel without worrying what she is doing and how she is. Lainey takes her for walks which is her favorite thing to do. She also sends us daily pictures and updates of how she is as well. You cannot go wrong trusting Lainey with your dog family member!”
“I asked Jonathan to care for my new 6 year old dog while on vacation. Jonathan agreed and the experience was absolutely the best. You see, my new dog, Andy had previously lived with a neighbor behind me and bc Andy is a fence jumper my neighbor had locked the dog in a cage his entire life. So he was not socialized or house broken until just the last 3 months since I took him to live with me, however I had given Jonathan as much info as I knew about him. Jonathan was so attentive with Andy he even made a special leash where Andy could run in his very large backyard but yet could not jump the fence. My biggest fear was he would run away but Jonathan sent me videos every day so I could see he was safe and happy. This was so comforting for me. When I picked up Andy he seemed a but confused which broke my heart bc I truly believe my new dog wanted to stay with Jonathan. I really think Andy had a great week staying with Jonathan and I will certainly call him again when I need a safe place for Andy to land for a few days or weeks. Jonathan is the best. Oh and Andy had his own spot on Jonathan's couch just like home.”
“Olivia is hands down the best sitter I have ever had for my pup. I have tried several people in the past, but no one has matched her level of genuine care and attention to detail. My pup Winston can be a bit shy, but he was immediately comfortable with her, which was a huge relief. He also has a very specific feeding routine that Olivia handled perfectly. She is incredibly responsive and sends THE BEST photo updates, so I was never left wondering how things were going. My dog whined and refused to leave when I got him, which has literally never happened before. If you want total peace of mind, book with Olivia. I will absolutely be using her again!”
“Left Pancho in really good hands! I could tell he was comfortable right away. I also got multiple updates and pictures throughout the day which I appreciated a ton! Layla and Teddy were the best hosts.”
“Crystal was wonderful with our two dogs- She sent updates and kept us at ease that they were well cared for in our absence! She even helped our pup celebrate his birthday with a song and extra treats.❤️”
“Our dog Finnley loves Monica and it’s so nice to have found our “regular” local dogsitter for our very picky dog 😂 Monica is the best and we highly recommend her!”
“Shanna was great, very friendly and very good with our dog. It was clear that she really cared for all the animals she was looking after and took great care with each of them. We will definitely be using Shanna again!”
“Our pups loved Elizabeth! She kept us updated with pictures throughout the day and it gave us peace of mind. Very easy to communicate with! 100% will re-book.”
“We just moved to the area so I was really nervous to leave Louie with a new sitter but Alex was amazing! He sent lots of pictures and videos and I didn’t worry for a second. I highly recommend Alex!”
“Isha was amazing with keeping me informed and sending updated pics during Simbas stay. As a first time Rover user she definitely made the process easy and comfortable for my pet and myself. I will definitely be recommending her and using her again!”
“She always takes such great care of my willow, I have nothing but faith. So many photos and updates constantly and I know my dog loves her! 10/10 recommend for anyone!”
“Joshua was great, it was our first time using rover and he was very helpful. He also accommodated modification to our reservation. We are very grateful to him for looking after Teddy.”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with multiple dogs, one of which I took care of myself once I was older. I had dog sat for friends and even teachers before. I have volunteered at dog shelters to walk and take care of dogs. I love all dogs and dogs love me. I am currently unemployed, searching for a job. I live in an apartment and am able to board a dog at any time of the week. I have room to play with them and for them to rest. My building has dog-walking areas and, in general, is located in a walkable area for dogs.
“If I could give Mercy a higher rating than 5 stars, I absolutely would! We got photos and updates and everything you could ever want from a sitter! Our dog was so loved and cared for while we were out of town and we are so happy with his care, we won’t be using anyone other than Mercy for as long as she dog sits!”
“Carolyn is 100% a star sitter! She was so communicative, sent loads of pictures (which as a semi-anxious dog parent I need), and did a WONDERFUL job caring for Mack. She played games with him, took him on walks, and treated him just like a member of her pack. She was also never annoyed when I asked for updates, which I so appreciated. I honestly felt like she loved Mack just as much as I do, and there is no higher praise. She even cleaned up his nails (which he DESPERATELY needed) and took some beauty shots for Mack right before I picked him up. I would book her again without reservation! Excellent service from a kind and thoughtful animal lover!! Thank you so much, Carolyn!!”
