“Matthew was great. They had a good time and was spoiled. Matthew gave time plenty of attention. He sent pics of them and let me know they settled in and were ok. He was a good pet setter and I will use again.”
“Maxine was incredible with my beagle! She is such a wonderful person and took care of my baby so well. Her house is extremely clean, communication was excellent, and I can’t wait to book with her again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”
“Jamie did a really great job taking care of Brownie during our travel. She sent us pictures, videos updates everyday which was so nice of her. Brownie got a lot of play time, toys and love at Jamie’s and she would absolutely love to go back ❤️”
“Great communication and super sweet. She is very transparent and I appreciated that being a first time rover user. We would definitely book again in the future. Carolyn was great with our hyper active skiddish dog.”
“Jason is great with our dog. We are thankful we found him and will continue to use him as our dog sitter when we have to go out of town. As it is with most folks, our dog is part of our family and it’s important to us that he is taken care of well and given attention while we are away. Jason does this well and sends pictures to us.”
“Taylor and David (and their family) did a great job with Zeus. They gave him his space and he was in a great mood when we picked him up. Highly recommend Taylor and David!”
“We had Steven watch our 2 senior Chihuahuas (16 and 11 years old) for a week. Our dogs had never been watched by anyone else for that long and we were worried but Steven made us feel so comfortable from the time we contacted him. Our 16 year old Chihuahua is on heart medication that needs to be given twice a day and Steven was very accommodating to our dogs’ needs. He sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout our trip and we really appreciated that. We ended up missing our return flight and Steven was very understanding and took care of our babies until we could get rebooked and fly back home the next day. We are very grateful to have found someone so kind and caring and truly believe we could not have found a better person to trust our beloved babies with. We would absolutely trust Steven for our future dog sitting needs.”
“Lucky had the best time at Kristen's house and came home very happy. Kristen was also very gracious to work with our unforeseen change in schedule. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Matt and Tiffany were absolutely awesome. They provided plenty of photos and even a little video. Raven fit right in with their family and their dogs. I will definitely be using them again in the future.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Alexis & Sean. They made our girl feel right at home and welcomed her as part of their family. We loved receiving regular updates and pictures, and they were great about giving her eyedrops and making sure she was well cared for. We had complete peace of mind while we were away and would absolutely recommend them!”
“Very nice! Stephanie gave updates and sent multiple pictures a day which made me happy each time. Seeing that my dog is doing good, helped me have a stress free vacation.”
“She was so flexible with schedule, and it made everything work out In the end. So thankful our dog got to be with her for the week. She took great care of him, and will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Traci and her family took such great care of our puppy while we were gone! I loved all the pictures and updates she sent, and will definitely come back next time we travel!”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Cole take care of my two beloved pets, Stella and Sabrina, while I was away on vacation. I must say, I was thoroughly impressed with the level of care and attention that they received during their stay. From the moment I dropped them off, I could tell that the sitter was not only experienced, but genuinely cared about their well-being. She took the time to get to know both of my dogs, their personalities, and their specific needs. She even asked me about their routines, favorite toys, and any specific instructions I had for their care. Throughout their stay, I received regular updates and pictures, which really put my mind at ease. I could tell that they were having a great time, and were well taken care of. They even went on daily walks and had playtime, which made me happy to know they were getting exercise and fresh air. When I picked them up, they were happy and healthy, and I could tell that they had been well-loved and cared for. Overall, I would highly recommend Cole to anyone looking for someone to take care of their furry friends. She truly went above and beyond, and I could not have been happier with her service. Thank you for taking such great care of Stella and Sabrina!”
“Fernanda and Matthew were great care givers to my dogs. They kept me updated daily with photos and information. When I had a flight change, they happily extended my dogs stay by an additional evening. They were very accommodating! Jax and Saturn will be repeat guests at their home!”
“Min was amazing!! She sent photos every day and updated me on how he was doing! She is the best! Super responsive as well! Will definitely be using her again!”
“William was awesome. He sent us pictures and videos while we were out of town! Our dog was so comfortable you can tell he was well taken care of. I will be using him in the future!”
“It was truly amazing experience with Amalia. I have trust issues when it comes to my fur baby and I felt so relaxed when I left my GSD Ella with her. She and her family was so welcoming of Ella and Ella came back home relaxed which is rare. She sent us plenty videos and pics without even requesting which is a big plus for me as no matter where I am, I want to see how Ella is doing. I am going back and feel so thankful that I found her for my fur baby.”
“Stella was great for Riley. In fact he is probably upset we picked him up as he got to go to dog park daily. Stella was accommodating as our flight got delayed and Riley had to spend an additional night. Will definitely see if Stella is available for the next time Riley needs cared for”

“First time with a pet sitter and 6 cats! Not easy to handle that many lol. But it worked out very well and would highly recommend. Love all the details during each check in.”
“Emily did a great job looking after my skittish cat, and on very short notice. My kitty even seems to be happy to see her! Very caring and professional. Would not hesitate to book with her again!”
“Alex was amazing with our cats! She was very patient when she met them for the first time during the meet and greet. She was greeted at the door by the kitties and they stayed with her the whole time. She took so many photos and gave us an excellent summary of the visit. Next time we need pet care, we will be calling her.”
“Kristen is truly the best! She accepted my last-minute request, came over beforehand to take detailed notes, and gave my sweet old cat so much love and cuddles over the 3 days. Buckley is 19, so leaving her is hard—and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in Kristins care. She was thoughtful, caring, and wonderful. Highly recommend! ❤️”
“Alexis was great at keeping my cat company, while also making sure he was kept active during that time. She provided helpful updates to make sure he was taken care of. Would gladly book with her again.”
“Sebnem was wonderful with my cat! He's a little shy, but warmed up to her right away, so I got plenty of pictures of my cat being pet, eating, and even videos of purring. Sebnem spent good time with him, following my instructions for food, giving him play time, and brushing him well. All in all I felt very comfortable knowing she was watching my cat while I was away.”
“When it comes to promptness, Jill is the sitter of choice. She came at the agreed upon time (two times a day for a week), sent pictures to document my cat's wellness, provided food and water, administered meds, brought in the mail, etc. It is obvious that she has compassion for animals and takes pride in a job well done. I will not hesitate to use her again!”
“Catherine did a great job! She answered my pet sitting request in minutes and came to pick up key and meet my cat, Zoe that same day. She was punctual for drop in visits and did all that i asked. I will request her services again! -Natalie G.”
“We have used Miki 6x and our cat loves her! Miki sends wonderful photos and great updates. We are fortunate to have her as our sitter and feel super safe that our cat is in her good hands!”
“Eva was great and took really good care of our cat. She followed all our requests and made friends with our super shy cat. She also provided timely updates, which helped us as we were out of the country.”
“I can’t say enough good things about our cat walker, Mia! She has been absolutely amazing with my two ragdoll boys, Loki and Thor. Not only does she take them on their walks, but she also did drop-in visits while I was out of town—and I had complete peace of mind the entire time. What really sets her apart is how interactive and engaged she is with them. She doesn’t just show up and go through the motions—she truly spends quality time encouraging them to explore, play, and of course, get plenty of cuddles. It’s so clear she genuinely loves what she does, and even more importantly, she truly loves my boys. Loki and Thor adore her. They literally cry at the door when they know she’s coming, which says everything. Seeing how excited they get and how comfortable they are with her makes it an easy decision every time—I’ve already booked her multiple times and will continue to do so. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, Mia is the one. She goes above and beyond, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
“Oline is fantastic, she was very good at getting my shy cat’s trust and always had great communication. The next time I need someone to watch my cat I will be going back to her.”
About: I’ve cared for cats since I was 10 and have experience with cats of different ages and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, play with, clean litter boxes, and give their cats plenty of attention. I’m patient, responsible, and always make sure cats feel safe and comfortable.

“We send our dog Nutmeg to Jamie for daycare twice a week and Jaime is great! Nutmeg loves going to her house and playing with all the dogs and Jaime’s daughters. I look forward to all the pics and videos Jaime sends while I am working!”
“From our meet-and-greet to the first actual stay, my dog *loved* being at Jason's! He and his wife are kind, love dogs, have a great house setup for doggy day care. My dog can be anxious in new settings, especially if I leave him, but he did great! As Jason said, "couldn't have gone better." I am SO grateful to have found him and will definitely be using their services a lot in the future. I'd give them 10 stars if I could ;)”
“Kristen was amazing she took great care of our tiny puppy and I got tons of updates throughout the day. Her dog was very tolerant of our pup who is still learning boundaries and they were able to have great play time. Will absolutely book again and highly recommend”
“Eva and her family are the best, they send pictures and updates throughout the day. We have use them for both dog sitting and for boarding and loved both experiences. If they’re available I want to choose Eva first every time!”
About: I have loved animals all my life. I was always asked to dog sit. I have taken care of many different kinds of animals. I am very loving and can also have an authoritative voice if needed when walking dogs. I am great at reading animals body language and acting accordingly. The most important thing is I love animals and will care for your animal as if it were my own. I am currently available Mon-Sunday to walk your dog, dog sit and drop ins. If I have a couple days in advance it is very helpful. I would love to watch your furry friend in the comfort of their own home, as I know that is comforting to the owners as well as the dog’s. I am a caregiver for my 81 year old father and am now boarding one dog at a time we are both dog lovers! I would love to be able to have animals, but not able to at the time. I know many dogs would prefer being in their own home, depending on their personality! I would care them as you would!. I love cats as well just have to take allergy medicine because my eyes start itching. Well worth it! Just can not sleep in the same bed.
About: Dogs have always been part of my life. I've been caring for them since I was 10 years old, and today I'm still the person family and friends call first for dog advice or when they need someone they completely trust with their pets. We work from home, so your dog won't be left alone for long stretches of the day. Instead, they'll be part of our daily routine with plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and naps in between. We have three young children who have grown up around animals and understand how to interact with them respectfully. Because of that, we welcome dogs that enjoy a family environment and all the extra love and attention that comes with it. Our home is set up with pets in mind. We have a spacious home, a fully fenced backyard, and gates available if dogs need their own space. Our cat's food and litter box stay safely upstairs, making it easy to keep everyone comfortable. We also share our home with our gentle 80-pound Lab/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, who loves meeting new dogs, and our one-year-old cat. We take introductions slowly and always prioritize a safe, low-stress environment for every guest. Every dog has their own routine, and we're happy to keep things as close to home as possible. Whether your dog needs oral medication, follows a specific feeding schedule, sleeps in a crate, prefers sleeping in the bedroom, or has other daily habits, we're happy to accommodate them. We also use Barkbus for our own dog and have a trusted local groomer, so if you'd like your pup groomed during their stay, we're happy to coordinate that as well. One of our favorite features is that our backyard overlooks a golf course, giving your dog front-row seats to all the action. Whether they're keeping an eye on the golfers, celebrating a great drive, or wondering how that ball ended up in the water, there's always something entertaining to watch. Our goal is simple: to make your dog feel like they're staying with family while giving you complete peace of mind that they're safe, loved, and well cared for. Because I work from home, your dog will have plenty of companionship throughout the day. Potty breaks, playtime, walks, meals, and rest are naturally built into our daily routine, so your pup won't be left alone for long periods. I love keeping owners updated with photos and messages, and I'm happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medications, and other routines that help your dog feel at home. Your dog's safety and comfort are always our top priorities. We have a spacious home with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore. We introduce all dogs carefully to our gentle resident dog and always monitor interactions. Gates are available if a dog needs their own space, and we're happy to accommodate crate-trained dogs or any routines they follow at home. Our cat's food and litter box are kept upstairs, and we maintain a clean, calm environment where every pet is treated like family. Before each stay, we'll discuss your dog's personality, preferences, and any special instructions so we can provide the best possible care.
“Vicki is the best! She treats our pup like her own and cares deeply about all the pets in her care. She’s responsive, accommodating, and gives frequent updates a well. We’re happy to have someone we can trust with our fur child. Thanks Auntie Vic!”
“Very friendly and kind , went the extra mile by sending frequent notifications. Great availability. Love the other pets allow socializing for my puppy.”
“Traci and her family are so wonderful! Daisy loved being there and I got photos all throughout the day. Upon pick up she was so happy and you can tell she was super taken care of!”
About: I’ve been a proud dog parent to my lovable Lab Mix for the past 9 years, and I’ve enjoyed dog sitting for the last 3 years! Your pup will feel right at home here, as I only take in a maximum of 2 dogs at a time to ensure they get all the love and attention they deserve. We enjoy 3-4 walks each day, along with plenty of playtime at the neighborhood dog park. It’s all about keeping tails wagging and paws happy! I’m currently working remote so I have ample time to spend with your pet(s)! We walk about 3 times a day and spend lots of time in the fenced backyard. Welcome to my cozy home on the Frisco/McKinney border! I share my space with my sweet, laid-back 9-year-old pup who loves to nap and is super friendly. We enjoy 2-3 walks a day, and your furry friend will be cared for just like family. I have a crate, comfy bed, and warm blankets ready to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable during their stay.
“Leaving my dogs with someone else for the first time felt a lot like dropping your child off at school for the first day — I was nervous and hesitant about using Rover at first. But after an unexpected situation came up, I’m so grateful we found Van and her family. For three days, they took such amazing care of my dogs. I provided their food, and Van and her family made sure they were fed, able to play outside in the yard, and got plenty of rest and love. The updates, pictures, and videos throughout the stay gave me so much peace of mind and made my days at work so much easier knowing my babies were happy and comfortable. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be reaching out to them again for future doggy daycare or boarding needs. Thank you again, Van and family, for treating my dogs like your own!”
“Thanks so much for providing excellent care for our Cavapoo. We greatly appreciated the video and text message updates. Blaze is looking forward to us going out of town again so he can come back to play with Copper and Lancer. Thanks so much, William.”
“Shalini and Jeremiah are great people and we are so grateful that they took care of Maya. They live right by the park and made sure she got plenty of walks and playtime. Great communication and even sent us pictures.”
About: Hello! My name is Erik and through growing up with cats and raising a rambunctious 6-year-old Golden Retriever, I'm the perfect active adult to take care of your animal friends. I work from home, giving me plenty of time for ball throws, tug of war, and enough snuggles and head scratches that your pet may never want to leave. I work from home full-time and take plenty of breaks throughout the day for walks, ball throws, and bathroom breaks! Because I already have a dog myself, regular breaks are already baked into my schedule. I have a fenced in yard and am within walking distance from several large grassy areas. Furthermore, working from home full-time allows me time to be attentive to your pet's needs!
About: I have fostered pets and cared for small dogs! I have also cared for hamsters, kittens, and elderly pets. I am happy to spend time with your pets! Hello! For new and existing clients, I would like to advise that my schedule has changed during Saturdays and Weekdays, as I have a part-time job and will be out from 8am-3pm. However, I organize pet sitting assignments based on my pet caretaking partner Micah's availability during times when I'm not available, in order to provide as much coverage as possible! Shoot me a message and we can organize and see if pet caretaking is possible during your preferred time frame! :) I make sure to keep my environment safe for pets by putting away cable cords, choking hazards, or anything else that may pose a safety risk to pets. For boarding, I have family members in the home! (Mom, grandma, and two siblings, all happy to keep an eye on pets in the home as well!) We just ask for boarding that dogs remain under 35 lbs due to fall risks and limited apartment space!
About: I've been a Dog Mom for most of my adult life, I currently have two. A couple of years ago I took classes to learn to groom and care for dogs. I learned dog CPR, first aid and grooming skills. I have taken care of several of my family and neighbors dogs and decided to expand. I have an entire room dedicated to dog play, grooming and sleeping. My dogs sleep with me and your dog can too if that is what you like. I also have crates if that is preferred. I have a small doggie door that leads to my backyard that is securely fenced. I also have a security gate on my front porch to prevent run aways. I will love your fur babies just like my own while they are with me! I am retired and I am available most of the time. I do babysit my 1 year old Granddaughter sometimes, but will take in a baby friendly dog when she's here. I have a fenced yard and two other dogs to keep your fur baby company. Sleeping arrangements are as the parents prefer, in the bed, on the floor in a dog bed or in a crate. Dogs are temporarily separated during feeding time to avoid conflicts. I stick with parents preferences on treats, eating times, etc. I will send you pictures of your dog if you want. I will love your fur baby just like my own!
“Stephanie is very caring and attentive, I appreciated the communication and photos she provided while watching over my dog after her spay surgery. My dog was immediately comfortable with Stephanie, and that's rare. Will definitely be using her services again.”

“Alexandra is the best. Dexter was super nervous but she helped him get comfortable super fast and was doing everything at his pace. Dexter loved his walk with her. Everyone around her location with a dog NEEDS to book her; your dogs will love her 💯”
About: I own a dog myself and so Ive learned to crate and potty train her. As much as I love her I do understand every dog needs to learn respect to others. I am currently working full time with a set schedule for a while and it does change from time to time. But i do work 3-11pm 4 days and Sunday i work 7am-3pm. My dog is crate trained, so if needed she can be put away. I do have a spacious apartment, my cat tends to be shy around others. So he would run off, but as mentioned before with my dog, my cat can be out away also.
About: I love all pets and have had two dogs of my own. My first was a terrier mix and my current is a staffie, so I am well accustomed to larger dogs. Additionally, I have been trusted in multiple instances to take care of other people’s pets ranging from bully breeds to pugs. I would love the opportunity to make sure your pet is well taken care of and loved when you need it! Throughout my life I’ve been surrounded by various types of dogs, ranging from chihuahuas to pits, big energy to small, and puppy to senior! This has given me the knowledge and experience to provide adequate care for your pup no matter where they are in their life or how special their personality is! My favorite part about dogs is how expressive they are! They love showing love and really are a great best friend! Currently, I am a substitute teacher, so my availability fluctuates depending on the week. I care for your pets as if they are my own! I prioritize meeting their needs and wants, and making your fur baby feel safe and loved. I follow their food, medication, and potty break routines closely! I will send check-in photos and texts during my visits. I am very reliable when it comes to the safety and well-being of your pet. They will always be fed and/or walked on time, or whatever else they may need. I have a large dog and she can play a little roughly sometimes, so that isn’t a problem if yours is the same. I can guarantee that they will feel loved and cared for under my supervision.
“Thank you Kristy for your consistency in taking care of Sammy! It’s so important to feel secure when you’re far away from your pup & you offered that. I hope you will continue to work with us if in the future dog walking services are needed. Thank you again!”
About: I have grown up my whole life with pets including cats and dogs. I currently have a black lab and my family has 5 dogs that I frequently walk and watch. I also dog sit my friend’s golden retriever regularly. I am going back to school online and have a work from home schedule so I frequently let our dog out on walks throughout the day! I am available for boarding on weekends and all weekdays. I live in an apartment complex with a quiet neighborhood feel, dog park, and rose garden for getting steps in. We have a 6 year old black lab who loves playing with other pups!
About: I’ve been volunteering at animal shelters since I was 15, and I’ve also had the joy of having two dogs throughout my life. My current pups are Boxer mix and a Pit mix who I absolutely adore! I’ve always been the go-to person for my family and friends when it comes to taking care of their pets. I truly love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and give them all the love, attention, and care they deserve! I currently work for a remote company with ample amount of time to help with any needs you and your animal may have. That includes potty breaks and walks! I always follow the instructions of the owner so what you are comfortable while away. That includes crating them when needed and following strict schedules.
“Jill arrived just a few minutes early so she could start Dash's walk right on time. Our tail wagged welcomed her at the door and really enjoyed his walk. This was the first time Jill B. walked out dog and we will definitely use her services again! Thanks Jill!”

“Megan is fantastic! She responded to my last-minute request and took excellent care of my senior dog. She kept me updated throughout my time away, which gave me real peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
About: I have loved caring for animals since the moment my family took us to get a dog and two cats at the age of 10. I have watched animals in the neighborhood growing up and into adulthood for friends, family and Neighboor's. I have owned one dog on my own into adulthood but she is no longer with me. I love watching and meeting new animals and I’m a snuggler and attention giver! I work remotely so I can watch your kiddos at my apartment which has 3 dog parks or I can watch from the comfort of your home or walk at either space! I can go on long walks at my place, go to the dog areas at my complex or come to your home at your pets comfortable level! I am 3 weeks remote out of the month and have plenty of time to give your pet attention, going on walks and playtime. Cuddles included! Pets are free to roam my apartment and sleep in my bed! If crate training I can definitely accommodate your routine to make your per most comfortable
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for a house full of pets—including a cat, parakeets, fish, and even a couple of snapping turtles—and have loved both cats and dogs throughout my life. As an adult, I was lucky enough to spend 11 years with our beloved German Shepherd mix, Evie. We completed obedience training together, and I have plenty of hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, routines, training reinforcement, playtime, and all the everyday care that comes with sharing your life with a dog. As Evie got older, I also gained experience caring for a senior dog through arthritis and, eventually, a period of significant illness. Her needs changed considerably during her final months, so I’m comfortable administering oral medications, keeping an eye on changes in appetite or behavior, adapting routines for an older or less-active dog, and understanding when something just doesn’t seem quite right. I’ve also cared for pets for neighbors and understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet while you’re away. Since losing Evie in 2022, we haven’t been ready to bring another pet into our family, so I’d genuinely love the opportunity to spend some time caring for yours. I’m dependable, attentive, patient, and—most importantly—I truly enjoy being around animals. I’m self-employed and set my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to work pet care into my day. I’m generally available for morning visits beginning around 8:30 AM, as well as midday and afternoon care. I can build walks, potty breaks, playtime, meals, and plenty of attention into each pet’s normal routine, and I’m happy to follow the schedule they’re accustomed to at home. I know consistency matters, especially when pets are away from their people, so I’m happy to follow the schedule they’re accustomed to at home. We are a family of four with two children, ages 10 and 7, and our home has a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and potty breaks. We don’t currently have any pets of our own, so visiting dogs won’t need to adjust to other resident animals. I know every pet has different routines, boundaries, and comfort levels, and I’ll follow your instructions closely—from feeding and walks to medications, crate routines, sleeping arrangements, and house rules. I’m also happy to learn about your pet’s personality, triggers, quirks, and favorite things before their stay so we can make our home feel as comfortable and familiar as possible.
About: I have been successful pet owners for over 12 years. I am a mature adult and will keep my appointments. I love dogs and I love providing pet care services for families in our community. I am a stay at home mom. I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your puppy and walk them multiple times per day. Our neighborhood is very safe to walk in. I have a fenced in yard plus a very friendly mini schnauzer and one daughters. We walk Bella multiple times per day. Plus, we feed her on a consistent schedule. Right now, due to my schedule I can provide early evening care beginning at 4 pm and am available for evening care. Also, I work in the school and am available during holidays and my summer schedule is very flexible. I feed our dogs twice daily on a set schedule. Also, they recieve 3-4 walks daily. Our dogs are members of our family. I love our pets very much.
About: Soy y siempre he sido una amante de los animales. Esto me ha llevado a tener la suerte de crecer rodeado de muchas mascotas propias, así como de una gran cantidad de otros animales. He hecho prácticamente de todo, desde entrenar cachorros para que no tiren de la correa o aprendan a nadar en la piscina hasta cuidar de animales mayores para asegurar el más alto nivel de comodidad. // I am and have always been a massive animal lover. This has led me to be fortunate enough to grow up around plenty of pets of my own as well as a plethora of other animals. I’ve done just about everything from training puppies to not pull on their leash or learn to swim in the pool to taking care of senior animals in order to ensure the highest level of comfort. Cuidar de mascotas se integra perfectamente en mi rutina mientras navego transiciones laborales. Rover me permite ofrecer cuidado confiable y amoroso mientras exploro oportunidades profesionales. // Caring for pets seamlessly integrates into my routine as I navigate job transitions.

About: I've had cats and dogs ever since I've been alive. I have been pet sitting and dog walking for family, friends and neighbors for 20+ years. I am currently available Monday, Wednesday and Thursday during the daytime. I look forward to getting acquainted with you and your furry companion(s) and loving them as you do. I will care for your fur baby in your home and on the streets, sidewalks and areas that you feel are safest for your pet in your neighborhood.
About: I currently have 2 dogs - Morkies (Yorkies and Maltese mix). Pets have always been a part of my life. Family and friends tell me that I treat my dogs like they are people; I say that I just love them and they love me. You can be sure that I would love and care for your pets just as much. Please don't leave them home alone. Contact me and enjoy your time away from home - your pets will be in great hands with attentive care. My schedule is flexible which allows me the opportunity to be home during the day, and all nights. Please, no aggressive dogs. I will make sure that your dogs are comfortable and safe with me. I have an 8' fenced back yard, with security cameras. I enjoy being outside with your furbabies and will provide that extra level of security when they are running around in the backyard. I have hard floors for easy clean-up. I also provide extra blankets to keep your furbabies warm. I also have a separate eating area set up for your furbabies. I keep one extra crate, if needed when you bring your dog.
About: What sets me apart is my personalized approach to pet care and my dedication to ensuring each pet feels comfortable, loved, and safe. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies who need training, play, and patience, to senior dogs requiring gentle handling, medication management, and extra TLC.

With excellent communication, I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family member is in great hands. For me, pet care is more than a service—it’s a passion! Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, as I prioritize providing consistent, loving attention to the pets I care for. Each day is structured around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and quiet relaxation to ensure the pets feel happy and secure. I adapt my schedule to accommodate each pet’s specific needs, whether it’s administering medications, offering extended outdoor exercise, or just snuggling on the couch. Pet care isn’t just part of my routine—it’s a passion. My week revolves around creating a safe, happy environment for every pet I look after, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting theirs. I provide attentive and personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my home or my client’s home.

If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I maintain their daily routines, such as feeding, walking, and administering any medications. I respect your home, keeping it clean and secure while giving your pet the love and attention they deserve. Communication is key—I provide regular updates and photos to keep you at ease.

“Matthew was great. They had a good time and was spoiled. Matthew gave time plenty of attention. He sent pics of them and let me know they settled in and were ok. He was a good pet setter and I will use again.”
“Van took exceptional care of my dog, Ren, while I was away on a two-week trip to Japan. Being so far from home, it gave me incredible peace of mind knowing Ren was in such caring and capable hands. Van kept me updated throughout the trip with photos and messages, and it was obvious that Ren was happy, comfortable, and well loved. When I picked Ren up, he looked healthy, relaxed, and had clearly been treated like family. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and who genuinely cares about your pet, I highly recommend Van. Thank you again for taking such great care of Ren! 🐾”
“Jamie did a really great job taking care of Brownie during our travel. She sent us pictures, videos updates everyday which was so nice of her. Brownie got a lot of play time, toys and love at Jamie’s and she would absolutely love to go back ❤️”
“Great communication and super sweet. She is very transparent and I appreciated that being a first time rover user. We would definitely book again in the future. Carolyn was great with our hyper active skiddish dog.”
“Jason is great with our dog. We are thankful we found him and will continue to use him as our dog sitter when we have to go out of town. As it is with most folks, our dog is part of our family and it’s important to us that he is taken care of well and given attention while we are away. Jason does this well and sends pictures to us.”
“Taylor and David (and their family) did a great job with Zeus. They gave him his space and he was in a great mood when we picked him up. Highly recommend Taylor and David!”
“We had Steven watch our 2 senior Chihuahuas (16 and 11 years old) for a week. Our dogs had never been watched by anyone else for that long and we were worried but Steven made us feel so comfortable from the time we contacted him. Our 16 year old Chihuahua is on heart medication that needs to be given twice a day and Steven was very accommodating to our dogs’ needs. He sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout our trip and we really appreciated that. We ended up missing our return flight and Steven was very understanding and took care of our babies until we could get rebooked and fly back home the next day. We are very grateful to have found someone so kind and caring and truly believe we could not have found a better person to trust our beloved babies with. We would absolutely trust Steven for our future dog sitting needs.”
“Lauren was amazing and took great care of our dog. We would definitely recommend her and would ask her to watch Tucker again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Lucky had the best time at Kristen's house and came home very happy. Kristen was also very gracious to work with our unforeseen change in schedule. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Matt and Tiffany were absolutely awesome. They provided plenty of photos and even a little video. Raven fit right in with their family and their dogs. I will definitely be using them again in the future.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Alexis & Sean. They made our girl feel right at home and welcomed her as part of their family. We loved receiving regular updates and pictures, and they were great about giving her eyedrops and making sure she was well cared for. We had complete peace of mind while we were away and would absolutely recommend them!”
“So happy I found Dori and her family! They took amazing care of my dog for the week he stayed with them, and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that he was in good hands. I know that I will have a reliable family to take care of him in the future should I need it!”
“Fernanda and Matthew were great care givers to my dogs. They kept me updated daily with photos and information. When I had a flight change, they happily extended my dogs stay by an additional evening. They were very accommodating! Jax and Saturn will be repeat guests at their home!”
“Elisabeth is great! Flexible, understanding, and communicative. I know our dog has a great time with her because when we go to drop him off, he can’t get out of the car fast enough!”
“Jennifer and her family were amazing and so easy to communicate with! It was so clear they took such great care of my golden, Wrigley, and Jennifer shared updates throughout Wrigley’s time with her family. Would highly recommend to anyone who’s looking for a reliable sitter!”
“It was truly amazing experience with Amalia. I have trust issues when it comes to my fur baby and I felt so relaxed when I left my GSD Ella with her. She and her family was so welcoming of Ella and Ella came back home relaxed which is rare. She sent us plenty videos and pics without even requesting which is a big plus for me as no matter where I am, I want to see how Ella is doing. I am going back and feel so thankful that I found her for my fur baby.”
“Jennifer was fantastic. She was super responsive, and communicated often with pics and texts. Jasper seemed quite comfortable staying, playing and sleeping at Jennifer’s home and with her two dogs. Will return!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we will use Lu every time! She kept us updated the whole time and we felt so comfortable knowing our Millie was being taken care of. 100% recommend!!”
