“Hawani was a life saver! I booked her last minute and she was able to go check on my pup. Little did she know what she was going to walk into! My escape artist got out of his cage and unfortunately pooped around my apartment. Hawani was kind enough to send me updates immediately when she got into my place. And was kind enough to clean up after him even though I told her it was okay! She was also very understanding stating she understood (as he is still a pup). Throughout her booking she kept me updated and was very thorough about taking care of him! Sent me photos and videos. She also was helpful to make sure he was fully secure in his crate as he got out before she arrived. Highly recommend! Thank you Hawani!”

About: I’ve had furry family members all my life. Finally got my own and live having a pup to train, pamper and love on. Let me share that experience with you and your pup as well☺️ I work from home, which makes pup care easier. My pup goes on a 30-60min walk or fetch in the fenced s hook fields near me around 7.30-8, eats around 10.30am with a quick walk outside soon after. She naps and is free to play. Last walk and dinner is around 6.30-7.30. Jade sleeps in her crate beside my bed. I’m able to give as much attention to her as needed because my schedule is flexible. I am very tidy and keep hazards away from the pups. I use dog-safe cleaning products. I also have a nest doorbell camera to monitor those coming and going. Plants are out of reach. I have access to fenced parks and fields less than 1min walk where I take Jade regularly. I like to play Chakra Healing Frequencies
“Nya was so good with Benji! She kept me updated throughout the day and made sure he was good and comfortable which would put any dog owner at ease while away. Thank you again Nya! Will definitely be booking again very soon!”
“Keith and Jessica were very responsive and so sweet! We had a meet and greet before I dropped Charlie off to stay with them for a day and I could tell they just love having dogs around. I’m so glad I could take him to such a kind and caring home!”

About: I’ve loved dogs since as long as I can remember. As a kid, I was always the friend who would come over and play withy friend’s dogs as much as possible since we couldn’t have one due to allergies (my dad). I have plenty of experience taking care of dogs, as I got my own puppy in summer of 2022. My dog is super social/friendly with other dogs and loves to play all day long. I also frequently watch my friend’s dogs whenever they are out of town. You pup will be treated as if they are part of my family! I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, so your dog will be in good hands no matter what! Just let me know any specifics for care and I’ll be sure to take the best care of them! I primarily work from home during the week, so I’ll be around to watch your pup during the day and night! Weekends I am also available to watch the pups! I typically am flexible on whether I leave the dogs home alone and for how long, so just let me know what works for you! I live in a house with a fenced in yard and have one dog of my own who is very social around other dogs. There’s also quite a few parks/fields around me where I typically take my dog, so your pup can get plenty of exercise! We take our dog out 3-4 times a day, but can be flexible for your pets needs! We also have a crate if needed, but we do not crate our dog whenever we leave him at home. We do allow our dog on the furniture (even though he never snuggles us), but can be flexible for whatever you prefer. We also have a doggy camera to keep a close eye on the pups when we aren’t there.
“Adriana has been an amazing sitter for Rosie! Rosie is always excited to see her, which gives me peace of mind whenever I leave her in Adriana’s care. She is responsible, reliable, and incredibly accommodating, and I always know Rosie will be well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“Within a day's notice, Madina agreed to watch Ali. She was accommodating to an impromptu meet-up and kept an optimistic attitude the entire time. I highly recommend booking with her. Thanks again Madina!”
“Kind, accommodating and extremely gentle. My dog misses her instantly and she will always be the person to care for him. She sends pictures and videos and truly is remarkable. Highly recommended”

About: I had two dogs growing up (Snowball and Mocha) and in recent years, have dog sat for friends, friends, and for Rover clients. It's rewarding and super fun for me! I enjoy the long walks in my neighborhood (I live in an awesome neighborhood for that) and lots of cuddles/belly rubs with the dogs I am sitting! I work from home most of the week and have plenty of time during the day for neighborhood strolls/walks with my rover pups. I love going for walks to take a break so would take the dog out at least 3 or 4 times a day with me. My husband and I live in a 2 bedroom/2 floor condo with a balcony. The dog would have access to the first floor. We have hard wood floors, a ton of really great light and are on the 3rd floor. There are no elevators in this building. We have a ton of neighbors who have dogs, an elementary school near by with a nice track/green space, and lots of side walk space for walks.
About: We had a Shih Tzu for 4 or 5 years her name was Nyla and she was apart of the family and we loved her I'm looking for a something to do with not working at this time, I am trying to get in shape as well and this would help I live in an apartment but it's pet friendly here with bags to clean up behind them and a dog park so they can exercise

“I was impressed with Daniel right from the start! He is a very humble, respectful, responsible, kind young man who loves animals. My dog Sophie immediately took to him and she would have great walks with him. I asked a lot from Daniel when I went on holiday…and he delivered! He came to my home for 10 days to not only walk my dog but also feed her…give her medicine, and as a bonus, he played with her. Socializing w Sophie went a long way because she was alone most of the time. He would always be on time and, when another dog walker canceled, he quickly covered that shift. No questions or higher charge. He sent a lot of photos too. Since I’ve been back from my holiday, I’ve been in poor health. I texted Daniel and he is now my dog walker on days when I’m unable to take Sophie out myself. Again, punctual & always thinking about what’s best for my dog…. For example, He remembers to dry Sophie’s paws when they arrive from a walk in the snow or rain. I highly recommend Daniel as your dog walker or sitter.”

About: Hi! I have been a pet lover my whole life. I’ve always loved spending time with animals and enjoy caring for them. I have experience caring for my family’s dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, and playing with them. I also have a French bulldog of my own named Malibu Barbie! I’ve also looked after friends’ pets while they were away, making sure they were well-fed, exercised, and comfortable. I’m excited to gain more experience and provide the best care to your pet!! I’m always open to learning more about different breeds, behaviors, and care techniques! I am currently furloughed due to the government shutdown. So I will have a pretty flexible schedule! I am available from 11:00am-7pm. Please message me for any questions! I live in a 1 bed room apartment! I do not have a fenced yard, but I do have a park near me that I often go too for walks!

About: I have experience with dog training, specifically puppies. I had the good fortune of learning how to train my Border Collie puppy, Khailo, (now 10) with a CCI-certified service dog trainer specializing in puppies. Khailo and I saw the trainer multiple times per week for about a year, establishing a good foundation that he always go back to. Raising Khailo taught me so much and turned me into a HUGE dog lover. Prior to that I liked dogs, now I LOVE them, and speak their language. I know how to properly walk a dog instead of letting the pup walk me, I know how to encourage good habits, and I will ALWAYS keep your dog's safety a number one priority. I also have experience administering medication to both puppies and adult dogs, have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with special needs, have experience watching multiple dogs at once, and also have experience with play-dates and dog parks. I will treat your pup as if they are my own. I look forward to being of service to you and your pup! I currently work full-time with a hybrid schedule, where I’m in the office on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and work from home on Tuesdays and Fridays. I have both daytime and evening availability on Tuesdays, Fridays, weekends, and all major holidays. I am also available on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings before 8 am and evenings after 6:15 pm. I am open to both short-term and long-term set schedules to accommodate you and your pup's needs, and am available for boarding both at my home and pet-sitting at your place of residence. I live in a very pet-friendly community with lots of outdoor space for your pup to play, as well as an indoor dog park for inclement and/or freezing temperatures. When providing care at your home, I will respect all rules you have for your pup, such as not being allowed on furniture, etc. and will stick to your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable. I would be providing service outside of my home. Your pup’s safety is my number one priority and, having been trained by a CCI service dog trainer myself, I am well-versed in translating your dog behavior, thus keeping them safe in all environments and under all circumstances. I am a very maternal person, and will give your pup all of the love, care and attention they need!
About: I grew up with a cat and small dog then have lived with all kinds of dogs and cats as an adult (through roommates and owning myself). Friends and roommates have trusted me to walk, feed, play, and give love to their pets! I am currently on a job hunt therefore I am totally open during the week and weekends to care for your pets as you need!

I also like to send lots of pics and vids so it feels like you’re right there with us!
About: Basset Hounds are natural characters and totally unforgettable––their droll eyes, wing-like ears, spotted fur and droopy, well––everything! They seem to possess this natural intelligence and a well of wisdom like Sherlock Holmes. Well, I grew up with a Basset Hound named Sadie and she was a major character in my life. I can’t think back on my childhood without remembering our wonderful memories, even if it’s in a subconscious, spiritual kind of way. I think growing up with her as a member of my family with such a unique personality, I’ve always been drawn to oddball pups. Eventually I became a special education teacher who has a hyperactive rescue dog with special needs and an indifferent, fat cat. Just as I care for human children, I extend the same level of care and dedication to our beloved canine (and feline) babies for friends, family, and total strangers from the Internet. I’ve cared for animals since I was four years old, and I’ll always have them in my life. In the past, I’ve volunteered at a local animal shelter and have experience training dogs. Although this line of work requires training and understanding of how to deal with different personalities, physical disabilities, and backgrounds––there’s also this element which can’t be taught or faked. I’m just a steady, easy-going, respectful, and kind individual. I don’t need to try to be patient because I’m usually very open-minded and attuned to the fact that we’re all unique and different but we’re also beautiful and awesome in our own way. I know the world isn’t always a friendly place, but being around lovely kids and happy dogs gives me hope and recharges my batteries. Some people find children and animals annoying or a needy, but I think it’s the complete opposite. Their energy, innocence, and unconditional ability to love and be accepting are lessons adults can learn and employ in their daily actions. I see them as spongy mirrors––they’ll give back what they absorb. If children and dogs are around tons of love, laughter, and a sense of security, they will give back so much compassion and loyalty. Cats, well, they’re a whole other story. My schedule is adaptable but not totally flexible since I’m a special education teacher during the day, but I have weekends off, all school breaks, and evenings. I update my availability often, but I’m more than happy to help you last minute or even if it’s for a walk because of an emergency. If my schedule allows, you can count on me. I do teach summer school, so my mornings are usually busy but I’m free afternoons and evenings, and around for Labor Day weekend. Once the school year starts in the fall, my availability will shift slightly. My other passion is spending time in the outdoors, from walking to biking to hiking to swimming. I try to stay active and your pup is sure to get a lot of fresh air time.

“Francise is the absolute best all around: communication, photos, flexibility, and most importantly, the best care for Monty, who loves her. She can handle his reactive leash walking too, which gives me peace of mind. This is the second time we’ve used her and will do so again!”
“Kerstyn took amazing care of Taffy for 10 days while we were traveling internationally and she sent regular updates and photos throughout the stay! Taffy had a wonderful time playing with Freya and was clearly sad to leave! Kerstyn also did a great job managing Taffy's quirks with patience and care! We highly recommend Kerstyn; your dog will be in excellent hands with this caring sitter!”
“Matthew treated our pups like they were his own. They were super happy and very well taken care of. Fantastic communication. Easy going and easy to work with. My pups already want to go back. Thanks for the fantastic experience!”
“Danyelle is really flexible. I had a last minute booking that I needed due to a family emergency and she was able to accommodate me. This is the second time she's watched my dog and I will definitely recommend her.”
“Elizabeth is amazing! She treated our pup Ollie like one of her own and made his stay feel like a true vacation. From fun adventures and plenty of playtime to the sweetest snuggles, it's clear she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. She sent us the cutest photos and videos throughout his stay, which we looked forward to every day. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Ollie had the best time, and we’re so grateful to have found her!”
“Thank you, Helena & Nathan, for taking such great care of Charlotte for the week! From all the pictures you sent, I could tell that she had a great time and that you made her feel right at home. It made my trip more enjoyable knowing my girl was well cared for!!”
“I’ve booked with Asia several times and she’s great! Very communicative and kind, and my dog Layla is so excited to see her when her car pulls up. I feel very at-ease leaving her with Asia!”
“Aisha is the perfect match for Maggie. She is dependable, sends me pictures daily, and shares with my updates and concerns. Every time Maggie arrives to Aisha’s home, Maggie is very excited. They adore each other so very much !”
About: I’m an animal lover that will take care of your pet like my own. Although I will care for your pet, I live with my partner, three year old son, my dog Ares, and two cats. We’re a family that loves all animal and are opening our home to extend that care. All pets I’ve cared for tend to leave my home with new skills or new training while they’re with me as that’s very important to me. I am a fully time stay at home parent and have a very flexible schedule to care for your pet. My open availability can accommodate last minute requests. I live in an apartment with an indoor dog park, outdoor dog park onsite, and a large apartment with plenty of space. My pets are very friendly and take into visitors very well. Our son is also very good with animal of all sizes and respectful of boundaries.
“Thank you Nyla and Cory for taking such good care of my 8 year old while traveling. It was so great to receive many photos and see his adventures while I was traveling. I’ll be sure to book again.”
“Jennifer was so kind and attentive to my pup! I could tell my dog instantly warmed up to her and her dog and felt super comfortable there. She was great with communication and sent many adorable photos.”
“Kelly was a great dogsitter! She was very responsive and sent us pictures regularly, so we could relax and enjoy our vacation. And I think our dog had as good of a vacation as we did! Kelly played lots of fetch with him and made sure he was loved and spoiled.”
“I'm a happy returning client. Wendy thoroughly enjoys her stay with Sonia and John. John provides a lot of updates and photos, and I can relax knowing that she's having a great time.”
“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
About: Over the past three years, my husband Joel and I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages, including puppies, senior dogs and dogs with disabilities. My husband Joel is retired and can be home anytime for dog care. We love taking the dogs for walks and to the dog park (if you’re ok with the dog park). We also have two teenage sons to help out. We have a fenced yard and two very friendly dogs, Kira and Calliope. We love having guest dogs, and the dogs always have a great time.
“Would 100% recommend Christina she made my baby boy feel comfortable and safe. He had such a great time I could tell from all the pictures and especially when I picked him up. He’s only 7 months old, still potty training, a picky eater and this was my first time leaving him with anyone else so I was EXTREMELY worried but Christina took such great care of him, ensured he was comfy at night time and could sleep well and he didn’t miss a meal which is amazing as sometimes he refuses to eat. Thank you so much Christina!”
