“Excellent service! Jim was kind, reliable, and very caring. Everything went smoothly, and I really appreciated the updates. I highly recommend him and would definitely book again.”
“Absolutely wonderful dog sitter and caregiver! Kathleen (Katie) has been my go-to dog boarder for over 15 years, and I was thrilled when she joined Rover so more people could find her. She recently watched my dog for me, and it was just as fantastic as always. From the very first day we met, I knew my pups were in the best hands. Katie truly loves dogs and it shows in everything she does. When we adopted our puppy a while back, Katie was incredibly helpful — offering advice, extra patience, and gentle guidance as we all adjusted to life with a new little one. She has such a calming presence with dogs of all ages and personalities. My dog always comes home happy, well-exercised, and clearly well-loved. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like their own, look no further. Katie is professional, communicative, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about what she does. I recommend her without hesitation — she’s the real deal! Thank you, Katie, for always taking such great care of my furry family members. ❤️”
“Gustavo was very responsive and he helped take care of our 2 cats, one of which required insulin shots. He updated us regularly and addressed any concerns he had to make sure we are in the loop. We are grateful for his care!”
“This was our first time leaving our fur baby with a sitter and couldn't have left him in better hands. Shadow had a blast with Jenn and pretty much had a doggy vacation. He went on multiple walks throughout the day and enjoyed playtime with the other dogs. Jenn was sure to send us videos and pictures of shadow throughout the entire stay and communicated the entire time. I look forward to booking with her for future occasions and would highly recommend her services.”
“Ashley (and her husband) is an amazing pet sitter! We chose Ashley because she and her husband have done a great deal with feral cats and in rescuing them so we knew immediately that they are compassionate and caring people. They took great care of our cat and he was also able to spend time with Ashley's dog Nike. We have already booked our next sitting dates!”
“Rosalina was awesome. I had someone cancel on me and she was able to accept the job very last minute. She sent so many pictures each day. I would definitely recommend and use her services again.”
“Amazing and thoughtful. Buddy has separation anxiety and when left he struggles. She has been very open to working with my dog. Buddy adjusted well due to her calm and loving nature. Thank you so much ❤️”
“Jamie was an incredible sitter! She handled all my dog’s quirks well and both her, her family, and all her critters made my pup feel right at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again for future trips.”
“Tracey is wonderful! She is very flexible and has agreed to watch our pups last minute. Tracey watched a new dog for us without hesitation and went above and beyond! We are so thankful for her! Highly recommend!”
“Rachel and her family were great with Rook. She sent daily updates of Rook, his activity level, and all the information we wanted. She kept us constantly informed of Rook's well being, sent pictures, and took him on walks =] I would definitely recommend Rachel and her family to look after your pup!”
“This is the first time I used this app. I was very pleased from the “meet and greet” to the time I dropped off my pet for boarding. I received pics every day. This kept me connected with my pet. Nancy took good care of my pet. I will use her again.”
“Cindy was wonderful! We appreciated the opportunity for the meet and greet visit and the tour of her property. We felt great about leaving our dog in her care. Our dog Watson who generally is shy was able to adapt very quickly to the new environment and the professional care by Cindy! Thank you so much for giving loving attention to Watson!”
“We have a very energetic pug who we left in Corey’s care for 5 days. We received photo/video updates daily and he got along super well with his 3 dogs. It was evident Corey really loves dogs; he was very understanding about accidents our dog made while he was there. Thanks so much Corey!”
“Camila is a very kind sitter. She watched our 14 year old dog Darwin for a week while went out of state on family business. She took excellent care of him, sent us pictures, and let us know how he was doing throughout the week. We didn’t have to worry about his care so we could focus on our family’s needs. I would definitely recommend her services!”
“Emmanuel is amazing with my puppy! She was such at ease with him and his family! I was kept up-to-date on her days and nights that they spent together. Emmanuel is very observant, caring, and communicative! He brought out her playful side, and I loved the sweet videos and pictures he sent. We will absolutely use him again!”
“Great sitter, took care of our pup while we were out of town. She sent picture and updates daily keeping us at ease that our Bailey was in good hands. Will use again for future trips.”
“We were able to meet with Vanessa and Geoffrey ahead of the booking and everything went smoothly! They have a nice set up for the dogs and provide pics/videos to update you each day. I also appreciate them for being able to accommodate our last minute request. We would use them again!”
About: In the past I have... 🐾Helped take care of my Sister's Golden Retriever when I was in elementary school/high school. 🐾Taken care of my dog that was half Golden Retriever/Rottweiler when I was in high school/college. When I started making money for myself, I provided my dog Blue Wilderness food from Petco or Petsmart according to my dog's age. I also provided a car ramp and my old bed when my dog got old. I still remember the days when I would go to pet-friendly restaurants with my dog. I am now 38 y/o. 🐾Helped take care of my Parents' 2 Beagles in adulthood. 🐾When my Husband was younger, he also had experience taking care of his Doberman/Bloodhound. 🐾Hubby and I both love dogs! We also have 1 child together that is 3 y/o and gentle. Our Daughter also loves dogs! I have decided this time around I can be a pet-sitter over the weekends & extended due to federal holidays. I wanted to prepare my Daughter for school coming up soon, so this pocket money will help, fortunately with me and my Husband's dog expertise. 🗓I am normally available to pet-sit/go out with your dog from Friday evening when I get home - Monday evening (sometimes Tuesday evening if there is a federal holiday on Monday). If you need longer pet-sitting, please communicate with me and I'll coordinate to make it work out with my Hubby to back-up. My Mom already helps baby-sit our toddler. 🏡I have a fenced yard. If you believe your dog can hop the fence, I can provide a dog tie cable. I don't like keep dogs out too long unattended unless I'm with them due to other animals, outside temperature, etc. I care for dogs like I care for my toddler. I usually take dogs out for restroom 4x or more depending if they are showing signs they want to go outside to use the grass for restroom.
“Sarah has been such a great sitter to our super energetic and playful dog, Tex. She is patient and kind and always sends us updates which gives us peace of mind while we’re away. Thanks for being so wonderful to our dog, Sarah!”
“Saroj was a wonderful and attentive sitter. She made sure that jampa was happy and comfortable at all times. she absolutely fell in love with Kaya, her beautiful Havanese pup. Saroj sent me daily photos and always responded to my questions. I am definitely returning!”

About: I've always been a natural caregiver. I've had pets since I was born, took care of my grandmother in her final years, and I take care of patients of all ages everyday as a healthcare worker. My goal is always to look out for the underdog (pun intended). I work at a dental clinic nearby with nights, weekends, and every other Friday off. My 15 minute commute allows me to pop home if I need to let our pup out. I have plenty of time before and after work for walks and snuggles too! I have a fenced in backyard, a super laid back 9 year old lab mix, and two chill cats who pretty much keep to themselves. We have plenty of extra space for crating if need be! And if for some reason your furry friend needs and entirely secluded area, we can provide that as well.
“We hired Samantha to care for our two cats while we were on vacation, and she was an absolute dream to work with. She communicated with us every single day, sharing photos and updates about how they were doing. It gave us total peace of mind knowing our cats were in such great hands. To top it all off, when our return flight got delayed, Samantha truly came to the rescue. Without hesitation, she was able to accommodate our last-minute change and dropped in an additional three times to make sure our cats were taken care of. We are so incredibly grateful for her flexibility and dedication. We will definitely be booking Samantha every single time we go out of town.”
“Finding Melissa and having her help care for and pamper Sky during these days has been a true blessing. Both my cat Sky and my family clicked with her immediately. Melissa is incredibly loving and empathetic, as well as helpful and proactive. She kept us posted on everything. We are so grateful for her excellent support. The fact that she is bilingual adds even more value to her work. Thank you so much, Melissa! 🙏🏼”
“They were amazing!! Our cats were well cared for, and we received several photos and videos of our cats :) We would heavily recommend that you go with Amanda for all your pet sitting needs!!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life. In the last few years I've boarded over 30 dogs at the house. I've completed over 250 services on wag with dogs, cats, and a pig while maintaining a perfect 5.0 rating. References available upon request. Pet care is my full time job. Dogs will have free range around the house and I'm with them 100% of the time unless I have to go walk another dog. My house has a dog door attached to a fenced backyard which the dogs have full access to throughout the day. They're also allowed on the furniture and bed. We have a nice trail by the house which my dog and I walk about 5 miles a day on.
“Ty was amazing with my two cats! I would highly recommend Ty to anyone who needs a pet sitter. My cats warmed up to Ty so quickly and I could tell Ty really cared for them and it put my mind at ease while I was away!”
About: I've been caring for cats since I was 13 years old and have years of hands-on experience with cats of all ages and personalities. I'm reliable, trustworthy, and take pride in providing the same love and attention I would give my own pets. Many of my clients are repeat customers because they know their cats are in good hands. I make sure every cat is checked on daily, receives fresh food and water, a clean litter box, plenty of playtime, and, of course, lots of cuddles and affection to help them feel safe and comfortable while you're away.
“Nadia was great! We did a meet and greet beforehand to make sure things were a good fit; she communicated professionally and in a timely manner. She took good care of our feline monsters and we intend to use her services again.”
About: I have personal experience raising my bluenose American Staffordshire Terrier for six years. I recently lost my fur son on April 10th. I am very comfortable taking care of high energy, strong, and high-needs dogs. I also have a lot of experience working with small dogs, as I have grown up with 3 mini dachshunds and regularly volunteered at animal shelters growing up. I am comfortable with cat care, as I helped to take care of my roommate's Ragdoll for three years and have helped with cat sitting for multiple friends. I grew up doing competitive horseback riding and have experience in equine care. I love animals and I have fun pampering them! I work from 10-5, but am available any time before or after that for walks and pet sitting. My hours are generally consistent. I am free on weekends as well! For pet walking, I ensure a minimum of 20 minutes total. I like to allow your pet for time to sniff, exercise, and/or practice commands. Before I leave the house, I also ensure the pet is relaxed and comfortable, and that water has been refreshed.
“Brenda was awesome! She took lots of photos and made me feel at ease being away from my sweet girl, Maple. She was very easy to work with and responded quickly. I’m so glad I chose her and knew she would be the right choice! Highly recommend 🤗”

“m was incredibly accommodating and kind while caring for Sammi during daycare while I ran errands. Since Sammi is recently post-op, I was nervous about leaving her, but Jim was more than willing to learn exactly how to care for her and follow all of her special instructions. He was patient, attentive, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I really appreciated how understanding he was of her needs during recovery. I would absolutely trust him with Sammi again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dependable and compassionate care”
“Your pup will have a great time at Ms Jessica's! She is a pleasure to work with - clear, communicative, prompt and provides a fun and enriching time for the dogs in her care. My dog has GRRRREAT time when stays with her! He comes home happy and tired each time.”
About: I’ve spent years taking care of pets—from shy seniors to high-energy pups—and I really take the time to get to know what each one needs to feel happy and comfortable. I’m super patient, and I love finding the little things that make each pet light up, whether that’s a favorite toy or a long walk! My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and totally at home while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins, so giving pets consistent care fits really smoothly into my day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening chill time, I make sure each pet gets the attention and structure they’re used to. Even on busy weeks, I carve out dedicated time so every animal I’m caring for gets patience, affection, and a routine that feels familiar to them. I listen to you. In my home, I keep pets on their usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. If I’m at a client’s home, I follow their rules and their pet’s normal schedule so everything feels familiar.
“We had a great experience with Saroj! We were able to drop Chewie off early for our day trip, and Saroj sent us updates throughout the day with pictures and videos. Saroj was very responsive and accommodating. We will definitely use Saroj’s services again!”
About: "Always do the right thing even when no one's watching." With decades of experience caring for big/small pups, cats, farm animals, Guinea pigs, and more, I offer a cozy & loving environment in my peaceful Cottage-style home for your furr babie(s). I have a big fenced yard for the pups to securely play, run, and a convenient doggy door for their convenience. Your pup will get lots of love and cuddles, guaranteed. ❤️ IMPORTANT: When requesting to book me, you will be promoted to select one of the two services I provide: The first is "Boarding", which means your pup will stay with me overnight for consecutive days in a row and getting lots of love and endless attention 🤗. The second service is "Doggy Day Care", consisting of your pup being dropped off by you (or designated guardian) and picked up that same day by you or guardian of choice. This also means your pup might get to play with other client's fur baby in my home for Doggy Day Care, and not staying overnight. If your fur baby requires overnight care even on a day that is not consecutive, and you prefer they're not around other client's pets but mine (Teddy & Daphne), then the service you want is definitely "Boarding". Happy to clarify this with you during our first Meet'n Greet" and modify the booking for you if necessary. ❤️ Thank you so much 😊 I'm the favorite aunt of many furry babies care for within the safety of my home for friends and families. I'd be so happy to provide the care and love to fur babies needing a getaway while their parents go on vacation :). If you're interested in a house visit or a meet'n greet for your pup(s) to meet my two little pups before booking, that works great! Simply send me a message and I'll coordinate with you :) I am available holidays too!! Warm Hugs! ENVIRONMENT: I have a 0.22 acre fenced yard, a doggy door, a patio with a Ring Camera and sensor lights. I have cameras all around the house as well and will never walk the babies without their leash and harness. Your pups will not leave my premises or be under the care of no one else but me. Depending on what service you need, the pups sleep with me, and will receive endless cuddles, and meals (following the owner's instructions), and will get along with my very two friendly small dogs, Teddy and Daphne.
“This was my first experience with Rover, and I chose to book with Heather due to her exceptional 5-star ratings. Now, I'm thrilled to contribute another 5-star review myself. My dog was quite anxious during drop-off, being away for the first time, but Heather's continuous updates and photos of Joy throughout the day were incredibly reassuring. Witnessing my dog's evident happiness upon pick-up affirmed that she had been expertly cared for. Without a doubt, I'll be rebooking with Heather in the future.”

About: Hi, I’m Emma! Animals have always brought me the most peace and joy so naturally, dogsitting is one of my favorite things! I have experience with senior dogs, puppies, timid pets, and can administer medication. I will treat your pet like the king or queen they are and provide them with love and comfort! I currently am a sophomore in community college with a flexible schedule which gives me plenty of time to care for your pet! I have my own transportation that makes my availability open and free. I spend a lot of time getting to know an animal to in-force trust and to create a comfortable environment . In my experience, I notice that this is key to easing any pet that is feeling weary about their owner not being present. This gives me room to follow instructions such as walks, medications, etc. effectively.
“Thank you so much for looking after my Chewy! He came back very happy and Well taken care off! I got 2 pictures of how he was doing and was told how he was when I came to pick him up. Would definitely rebook again whenever I get the chance!”
About: Going to college to become a veterinarian. I have been owning and taking care of dogs, cats, and even lizards ever since I was born. I love all breeds and sizes of cats and dogs and will treat them the best they ever have been. All animals deserve a loving home. I am working part time on some weekends so I have more than enough time to take care of any type of dog throughout the day or even overnight. They will always have my full attention and be taken amazing care of. In my own home your pets will be taken on walks and looked after with great care. Than can be on the couch or the bed and they can feel free and happy. I will respect the caretaking rules of my clients house and keep the dog entertained, happy, and whatever the client may need.
“Nancy took such good care of Jasper! My sweet dog is a rescue, and can have pretty severe separation anxiety while I'm away. I was in town for a wedding, and wanted to know that Jasper was well cared for and had someone to hang out with all day. Nancy understood exactly what Jasper needed, and I returned to a happy and relaxed dog. I will definitely book with Nancy again next time we're in town.”
About: Over the years, I've been blessed with friends trusting me to care for their fur babies, and we always have a good time. I observe every tiny detail of doggie behavior and what makes them comfortable. I enjoy letting them smell and observe their surroundings, and get them acclimated before introducing them to my day-to-day lifestyle, but I’m pretty much chill and easygoing. Both of my dogs are obedient and friendly, and have been trained at home. One of our dogs came home as a puppy, and the other one is a rescue, and both get along well. With practice and patience, I’ve learned to take care of most of their grooming, including nails, ears, paw trims, brushing their teeth, de-shedding, and doggie baths. With routines, I like start small with walks to get a sense of their pace and smelling habits so that they enjoy every minute, and if need be, I can help correct some of the leash pulling. I am also well accustomed to administering oral medication when dogs are on a schedule, so if that's something that you need for your pup, I’m happy to help. I'm blessed to be able to work from home, so I spend all day with my dogs. My usual work schedule is Monday through Friday, 9-5 pm, so I usually run my errands in the afternoon, and go for a walk with them if it’s nice out. On occasions, I sometimes take my pups to the dog park so they can burn some energy. Your pup will rarely be alone, but if I need to run errands for whatever reason, I have a doggie room with a camera so I can monitor them. There’s also plenty of toys, beds, and crates, just in case. I don't crate my pups anymore since they've learned to behave when alone, but if you'd like me to crate yours, just let me know. I’m more than happy to accommodate you and your fur baby's needs. In this house, your pet isn't a guest; they’re part of the pack. I have two other dogs that will keep your baby company and provide lots of playtime. I will follow your home routine to a T, and provide lots of belly rubs, walkies, and playtime. My house has a large fenced-in backyard, so they will have ample room to play and frequent breaks. Additionally, the neighborhood is very dog-friendly, so there are lots of sidewalks for walkies. There’s have plenty of toys here, and there are also a few dog parks nearby that we can visit, if your dog is comfortable. If your pup is more on the older side, prefers to sleep all day, and doesn't like to play as much, and/or is more of a loner, that's OK too! I’ll adjust to your routine and keep you up-to-date on everything. Basically, expect a very happy, very sleepy pet at pickup, daily updates, and peace of mind!
“Yulissa was very friendly and really cared and took care of my pup while I was away. She was also very flexible and was able to accommodate a schedule shift when my plans went a bit longer than expected. 10/10!”
About: As a dog owner myself, I know what it takes to keep one healthy and happy. Constant love and cuddles are a must. I also will also make sure that your pet is well fed when needed. Playtime not only gives exercise but affection at the same time. I will make sure to give your pets enough playtime so that they can sleep peacefully at night. I also have experience taking care of different-sized dogs, as I have taken care of many of my friends' dogs and have left them all satisfied with my work. I guarantee all of your dog's needs will be met at the highest quality. Also, my mother owns a grooming salon so we can give your dog a bath or grooming per your request. I work full time remotely so I will definitely have time to care for your fur baby! I also own a small dog and have other dogs in the house at a time. I have a fenced backyard so they can run around and play for as long as they need. We make sure the yard is clean and will supervise if need be. The dog must be friendly with other dogs. Unfortunately I cannot take dogs that shed

About: Hi! My name is Lucy, and I'm a college student looking to make some extra money doing something I genuinely enjoy—caring for animals. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals , and I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I also have one year of experience working as a veterinary assistant, where I learned how to safely handle pets and provide compassionate care.

Whether your pet loves being active or just wants someone to keep them company, I'll make sure they feel loved and well cared for while you're away. I'm pretty flexible throughout the week. I usually work on the weekends, so I'm generally more available Monday through Friday for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight stays. On weekends, I may not be available to let pets out during the day while I'm at work, so if your dog needs to go outside every few hours, I may not be the best fit during those times. I'm always happy to discuss your pet's routine to make sure I'm a good match. pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'll always follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special care your pet needs.

I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands.
“Melissa was great. My dog doesn’t always walk well for new people and he took to her right away. She took the time to come by for a meet and greet and we were really impressed!”
About: I have taken care of neighbors and friends dogs for as long as I can remember. I have experience with all different breeds and types of dogs. I make sure to give every dog lots of love, attention, play, and exercise! I will send tons of updates and pictures! I am currently taking online asynchronous college courses over the summer so I have a ton of time to watch and be intentional with the dogs! I have a rescued lab and hound mix dog named Sawyer who is always looking for new friends! He instantly gets along with every other dog and matches their energy low or high. I have a big fenced in backyard great for playing and letting the dogs outside. I also live in a great area for walks and adventures!
“Daniel was fantastic with Jack! He was always on time and super reliable during the two weeks I was away. With Glenn working 6/10 shifts, Dan’s daily walks gave Jack a much-needed break and helped us out a lot. We’re really grateful for the care and consistency— we’ll definitely be using him again. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve spent years taking care of pets—from shy seniors to high-energy pups—and I really take the time to get to know what each one needs to feel happy and comfortable. I’m super patient, and I love finding the little things that make each pet light up, whether that’s a favorite toy or a long walk! My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and totally at home while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins, so giving pets consistent care fits really smoothly into my day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening chill time, I make sure each pet gets the attention and structure they’re used to. Even on busy weeks, I carve out dedicated time so every animal I’m caring for gets patience, affection, and a routine that feels familiar to them. I listen to you. In my home, I keep pets on their usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. If I’m at a client’s home, I follow their rules and their pet’s normal schedule so everything feels familiar.
About: I've had dogs my entire life. In the last few years I've boarded over 30 dogs at the house. I've completed over 250 services on wag with dogs, cats, and a pig while maintaining a perfect 5.0 rating. References available upon request. Pet care is my full time job. Dogs will have free range around the house and I'm with them 100% of the time unless I have to go walk another dog. My house has a dog door attached to a fenced backyard which the dogs have full access to throughout the day. They're also allowed on the furniture and bed. We have a nice trail by the house which my dog and I walk about 5 miles a day on.
About: I took care of my neighbors dogs while she was away. I've house sat before and I enjoy long and or short walks with any dog! I'm home from school for the summer so I have plenty of free time to walk and over house sit! I'm free in the mornings and afternoon, 7 days a week. I can walk your dog as far as you would like and will spend as much time with your dog as necessary! I enjoy staying active and don't mind taking your dog for runs as well! For cats I love being with them and keeping them company, while feeding and providing clean up.
“Megan was absolutely amazing! She responded to our last-minute booking request and took such great care of our dog. She went above and beyond to make sure our pup was walked, fed, and well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such kind and reliable hands. Megan was communicative, dependable, and truly showed that she cares about the pets she looks after. We are incredibly grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you so much, Megan!”
About: Hi! I’m Sharyll, a passionate animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Back in Nicaragua, I volunteered at Lucito Shelter, where I helped rescue, feed, and care for animals in need — an experience that taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of earning every pet’s trust. Currently, I work at PetSuites, where I care for pets of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I handle feedings, playtime, walks, and comfort for both dogs and cats every day. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my professional experience in a structured pet care environment. Whether your pet needs active playtime, gentle walks, or calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for — just like at home. ❤️ I’m available 2–3 days a week and on weekends. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust depending on your needs — whether it’s daily walks, weekend care, or occasional visits. I always prioritize safety and comfort. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special needs before starting. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and keep communication open with regular updates and photos. I make sure doors and gates are secure during visits, use leashes properly for walks, and keep pets supervised at all times. My goal is to create a calm, positive environment so your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for — just like when you’re home. ❤️
“Christopher was absolutely great with my eight month old puppy, who had never had a dog walker before. He kept me updated and was always communicative. He also went the extra mile, playing with Honey after her walks. I highly recommend!”
“I had the pleasure of having Lilly, walk my Dog Simon 3-4xs a week for 2 months. She was always punctual on timing and if she was ever running behind she would make sure to give a notice. Most importantly I enjoyed seeing Simòn happy upon her arrival, tail wagging through my Furbo Dog camera, she always greeted him with scratches and made sure to give him a treat before leaving. I appreciated the photos during the walks around the neighborhood or if Simòn was being lazy instead of ending the walk she would sit outside with him while he sun bathed giving him scratches. Lilly thank you so much for helping me out during this time!”
About: I grew up caring for my dog, Roxy, who taught me so much about patience, responsibility, and the love that comes with caring for animals. After losing her a year ago, I realized how much I really miss being around dogs, which is what inspired me to start pet sitting. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I currently work at a children’s swim school, but I pick up shifts as needed, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time. I’m also off for summer break right now, which gives me even more availability to dedicate time, attention, and care to your pets throughout the week. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I always make sure animals feel comfortable and cared for in their own environment. I’m happy to follow any routines you have for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or special instructions, and I’ll always treat your pet and home with respect while making your pet’s safety my top priority.

“This was our first time leaving our fur baby with a sitter and couldn't have left him in better hands. Shadow had a blast with Jenn and pretty much had a doggy vacation. He went on multiple walks throughout the day and enjoyed playtime with the other dogs. Jenn was sure to send us videos and pictures of shadow throughout the entire stay and communicated the entire time. I look forward to booking with her for future occasions and would highly recommend her services.”

“We have a very energetic pug who we left in Corey’s care for 5 days. We received photo/video updates daily and he got along super well with his 3 dogs. It was evident Corey really loves dogs; he was very understanding about accidents our dog made while he was there. Thanks so much Corey!”
“Camila is a very kind sitter. She watched our 14 year old dog Darwin for a week while went out of state on family business.

I would definitely recommend her services!”

About: In the past I have... 🐾Helped take care of my Sister's Golden Retriever when I was in elementary school/high school. 🐾Taken care of my dog that was half Golden Retriever/Rottweiler when I was in high school/college. When I started making money for myself, I provided my dog Blue Wilderness food from Petco or Petsmart according to my dog's age. I also provided a car ramp and my old bed when my dog got old. I still remember the days when I would go to pet-friendly restaurants with my dog. I am now 38 y/o. 🐾Helped take care of my Parents' 2 Beagles in adulthood. 🐾When my Husband was younger, he also had experience taking care of his Doberman/Bloodhound. 🐾Hubby and I both love dogs! We also have 1 child together that is 3 y/o and gentle. Our Daughter also loves dogs! I have decided this time around I can be a pet-sitter over the weekends & extended due to federal holidays. I wanted to prepare my Daughter for school coming up soon, so this pocket money will help, fortunately with me and my Husband's dog expertise. 🗓I am normally available to pet-sit/go out with your dog from Friday evening when I get home - Monday evening (sometimes Tuesday evening if there is a federal holiday on Monday). If you need longer pet-sitting, please communicate with me and I'll coordinate to make it work out with my Hubby to back-up. My Mom already helps baby-sit our toddler. 🏡I have a fenced yard. If you believe your dog can hop the fence, I can provide a dog tie cable. I don't like keep dogs out too long unattended unless I'm with them due to other animals, outside temperature, etc. I care for dogs like I care for my toddler. I usually take dogs out for restroom 4x or more depending if they are showing signs they want to go outside to use the grass for restroom.

“Dana was amazing! She was able to care for our Kona on short notice, and she was incredibly kind and gentle with him. She sent tons of pics and videos and ensured we knew he was in good hands. We'll definitely be working with Dana again in the future. Thank you so much!”
“This is our furry wiggle butts 3rd stay with Jessie. They get so excited when we turn down her street its almost as if we could just let them out of the car and they would find her.”
“Kassie is the best pet sitter. It was my first time using Rover app and I am so lucky to meet her. My dog is very shy and afraid of everything she does for the first time. However, Kassie welcomed my family and took care of my dog for 5 days. Kassie sent me lots of photos and videos of how my dogs are doing. My dog played with Kassie’s 2 dogs. They were very kind and welcomed my dog as well. I definitely recommend Kassie and already made another reservation with Kassie! SHE IS THE BEST PET SITTER EVER!!”
“Heather and her husband were absolutely amazing! They have a beautiful property that any dog would love. Plenty of space to run around and play. She was so friendly and caring towards our dog Nova. A great communicator and extremely organized! We would love for Nova to stay at GG’s Funny Farm again and will definitely be re-booking. 😊”
