“Christine watched Miso for the first time for a night so I could celebrate my birthday. Communication was great before and during my dog's time there. I appreciated Christine being flexible with my inconsistent plans for pick up and drop off. I also very much appreciated that Miso was returned to me tired from playing so much hahaha... Was able to have a calm day after lots of celebrating!”
“Laurie and Rich were so kind and caring for our little Frodo. From their photos, he was clearly comfortable in their home and yard. They kept us updated with his adjustment as it was his first time with them. When they expressed concern when he did not eat his dinner, we assured them that he does skip meals. We were lucky to find them available for our mini vacation. Thank you, Laurie and Richard”
“Kerstyn took great care of our pup Jane! We received daily updates plus photos. Jane also loved playing with Freya! One thing we appreciated was Kerstyn’s patience with Jane, who is slightly anxious and needs a little time to get used to new situations.”
“Laura was fantastic! Our German Shepherd received exceptional care from her. We appreciated the frequent updates that reassured us our pet was doing wonderfully. It's clear Laura genuinely cares. After 8 years of using Rover and trying many sitters, Laura stands out as the best. Thanks again, Laura, for taking great care of our girl!”
“My dog Tako was extremely well taken care of and I got frequent updates. Shanilka was very easy to communicate with and she was very flexible as my travel plans changed due to the weather. I will absolutely be using her again if I ever need!”
“I needed 5 hours of dog care for my newly rescued senior Pomeranian and I’m so grateful to have found Donna. Donna provided a calm and caring environment for my dog to feel comfortable and relaxed, and they took a 20 minute walk together. Thank you so much, Donna!”
“Andy was great. He sent lots of pictures and was very communicative. He took my pup for plenty of walks and made sure she was comfortable in his home. I would be happy to have my dog stay with him again.”
“Our experience with Erin was wonderful. She really knows how to care for your dog like her own and I could tell my dog Luna had a great time staying with her. She was very communicative and gave updates/pictures through Luna’s stay. Def would go with Erin again!”
“Evan and his wife stepped in at the very last minute to take care of Kobi for the weekend - and not only did they agree, but they were so enthusiastic it felt like I was doing them a favor and not the other way around! Communication was great with check ins during the day and drop off/pick up went smoothly. So grateful to have found them!”
“Our second time booking with Jorge & Alejandra, they are wonderful! Took such great care of our pup, she got more playtime with them than she ever gets at home! Will definitely book with them again.”
“Shaela did a great job caring for Astro on his 10 day stay with her and her pup, Luna. She was patient with his finnicky eating habits and tried her best to get him to eat. Luna and Astro coexisted peacefully during the stay, with no issues reported. Shaela sent a couple of photos and provided updates every couple of days. The neighborhood is busier than what Astro is accustomed to which scared him, but he eventually grew comfortable. I would leave Astro with Shaela and Luna again!”
“Harley was so happy to go back to Jennifer and her wonderful family for a long weekend. He gets showered with love by Jennifer, her sweet daughter Ramsey, and Grandmom Anne! I’m so happy he gets a happy easy-going doggy friend in Khali, and experience with Pursey the cat. It’s so nice knowing that he is so beautifully cared for. Jennifer was extra kind this time, giving him medicine and more walks since he couldn’t run around her spacious front yard due to a healing injury. We love getting updates and adorable pictures throughout his time there. I’m not sure Harley really wanted to leave!”
“Jason and Becky took care of our pet Cocoa for 9 days. They were reliable, professional, and clearly passionate about caring for pets. . From the initial meeting, they took time to understand our pet’s routine, dietary needs, and personality, which gave us great confidence while we were away. They provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which reassured us that Cocoa was happy and well cared for. Our pet seemed comfortable and relaxed when we returned, which speaks volumes about the level of care and attention provided. We have decided to leave Cocoa with them when we travel next time. Thank you Jason and Becky.”
“Leah was able to watch Toby on a somewhat short notice and he seemed to have had a good time. She sent me photos of him playing around. Would definitely leave Toby with her again.”
“Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.”
“Briane was fabulous to work with. We had an unexpected family need requiring help with our dog and Briane was so helpful in making our complicated arrangements. Our pup seemed to have a wonderful stay and we received photo updates along the way. Will definitely use again!”
“Jose took great care of our dog. He was incredibly responsive and sent daily photos which was very helpful since our little dog was staying with him for the first time. We will definitely call on Jose to sit for our dog again!”
“Sush looked after our mini Goldendoodle for 10 days while we were out of the country. She was incredibly communicative and responsive, often sending photos and giving us updates along the way. We were happy to know our dog had a large backyard and other dogs to keep him company. We’ll definitely use Sush again on our next trip!”
“This was our first time using Isabellle and her family to dog sit for us. They were very patient with Milo who took some tme adjusting to his new environment. Highly recommend and will be using them again”
“Absolutely amazing! My baby has special needs because he is diabetic, blind, deaf, and needs insulin injections twice a day. Caterine and Brian welcomed ninja with open arms and took the time with me to learn how to administer his insulin injections and all of his other medications. Their home was very clean, tidy, and warm. I was able to go on my work trip With confidence that ninja was in good hands and getting the care he needed. If you are looking for caring and loving dog sitters Caterine and Brian are it! Will definitely work with them again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, and animals have always been a big part of my life. I’m currently a live-in nanny, and I also care for the family’s dogs. When their owners are away, the dogs stay with me and even sleep in my room so they feel safe and comfortable. I currently work part-time as a live-in nanny, which allows me some flexibility for pet care. However, I do have a busy schedule with regular dog-walking clients, so availability can vary. Please message me first to confirm scheduling before booking. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your needs if I have an open time slot. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every pet in my care. I carefully follow each dog’s routine, feeding instructions, and any special requirements provided by the owner.
“I can’t recommend Lily enough!! This was my first time out of town since my cat was diagnosed with diabetes, and Lily made the entire experience a breeze. She was thorough and detailed with every visit, and left lots of pictures!! My cats immediately loved her and I will definitely be using Lily in the future!!”
“Natalie was awesome. She house sat for me for a week while taking excellent care of my two kitties. The peace of mind was invaluable! Natalie communicated proactively, regularly sent photos, administered medicine, and played with my babies a ton! I came home to a clean house and two chill kitties. I would definitely trust Natalie with my cats again.”
“Where can I even begin with how amazing Aimee was?! This was my first time using Rover and leaving my cat, Spot, for 9 days while I was away. I was nervous since he gets anxiety but when I came home he was so happy and had 0 accidents while I was gone. Aimee checked in with me every single day and sent plenty of pictures and updates. It was such a relief to know he was in good hands and I will absolutely be using Aimee again and recommend her to anyone needing an awesome sitter! Very trustworthy and overall such a kind human being, Spot and I are both happy!”

“Our experience with Juan was excellent. He spent quality time with our cat, Simba, ensuring he was fed on schedule, the litter box was kept clean, and Simba got plenty of playtime. He was very flexible with our expectations and extremely attentive. His regular updates, along with photos and videos, gave us great peace of mind. We would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him.”
“This is our second time using Hana and first time using for a longer period. She has been great and thorough with their care and taking care of things that come up. The weather wasn’t great during the past week so we really appreciate her reliability with their care.”

“Guy helped us out when we needed a Doggie Day Care while we were visiting Arlington National Cemetery for an interment. We didn't know how long the 3 ceremonies would take, and he told us that he would help us for whatever we needed. With all that was going on for us, he offered comfort in taking care of our beloved Toby.”

“Hc is a sitter found in heaven. She loves dogs, is very attentive and loving to each of the day care group and has her own sweet lab mix JJ. My dog loved to come and stay at Hc and rumble through the garden or house with the other pups, and we will be back next week.”
About: I love taking care of dogs and the liveliness they bring to any household. I've taken care of multiple dogs at once before and have experience feeding them medicine as well! I'm available almost all hours of the day as I work from home. Having pets around is great because I love the comfort they bring when it's just me in the house. I have a fenced in backyard, along with a sliding glass door to the backyard. I have multiple floors in my house so pets can roam to their heart's content.
About: Hello from the mother, daughter, and dad team! Apart from the necessary cuddles, activity, and attention we offer, all and any instructions will be followed to a t. My parents and I have been providing care to beloved pets for a little over 13 years and never get tired of it! Due to the nature of my job (work from home) and my parents are retired, so, your pooch or kitty will always be within our sight and well accompanied. We are fit individuals that live close to many parks and trails, free of traffic. We look forward to meeting your furry companion and taking the best care of them, as if they were our own. I work from home and throughout the day I have dedicated time set aside to go on walks, play with, love on, and take care of your babies! And as mentioned, my parents are retired and have plenty of free time throughout the week. We are attentive to the pets needs and safety. We follow your close instructions on what is best to do, what to avoid, what they can and can’t eat. And of course, are completely transparent about how your pet is doing.
About: I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pup like family while you're away. I work from home full-time, so your dog will always have company and lots of cuddles throughout the day. - I only host one client at a time, so you dont have to worry about unfamiliar dogs during their stay. -Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a slower-paced routine, I’m happy to match their needs. -I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also have experience with dogs with separation anxiety and food or environmental allergies. 📷 You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. **I live in an apartment building, so I can't safely accommodate large dogs that are reactive to people or other dogs, since it's not possible to completely avoid encounters in shared spaces.** I can accommodate regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins, and I’m able to adjust my routine to meet your dog’s needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow all care instructions, use leashes on walks, and provide a calm, secure environment with regular updates.
“Kerstyn was great today with our recently adopted pup Ginger! She made her feel right at home and helped create a fun environment especially with her dog Freya who she played with. I’m sure we will have Ginger go back to visit soon!”
“We booked Grace for a very last-minute daycare session, and we couldn’t be more grateful that we found her. Our dog Miso is quite sensitive and anxious, so we’re always cautious about new caregivers—but she seemed incredibly comfortable with Grace right away. She has such a calming, kind energy, and it was no surprise to hear that Miso adjusted so well and felt at ease in her care. Knowing she was safe, relaxed, and well looked after gave us so much peace of mind. We’re truly grateful for Grace’s care and would highly recommend her to anyone, especially those with dogs who need a gentle and patient sitter. 🐾💛”
“I recommend Loreen to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter! She made my dog extremely comfortable and was able to accommodate to our last minute time changes. I will definitely be asking her to take care of Tofu the next time I’m out of town!”
“Daisy enjoyed her 5-hour stay with Rae yesterday. They went for two walks together, which Daisy loved. Rae was very conscientious and asked questions to be sure that Daisy would be comfortable and happy during her stay. I recommend Rae if you are looking for a responsible, caring pet sitter!”
“Katerine and Brian did a great job watching Mia, and she enjoyed her time with them. She got to interact with other small dogs they were watching and was spoiled with a lot of snuggle time. Katerine also took some Christmas-card-worthy photos of Mia. Would happily leave Mia with Katerine and Brian again.”
“Overall had a positive experience with Sush. She was accommodating and communicative. Above all, my pup has a great time there and I can feel at ease knowing he is loved there. We will be back soon.”

About: As a lifelong animal lover with both a cat and dog of my own (Peanut Butter and Jammy!), I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. While I’m new to pet sitting on this app, I’ve spent years caring for pets of friends and family—everything from playful puppies and kittens to senior fur babies needing extra TLC. I treat all the pets I watch like my own and never skimp on care to make sure they get just as much time and attention as they do when they are with you! I have hands-on experience administering medication and supporting pets who may not be feeling their best, and I’m always patient and gentle with those who need a little extra attention. I’m able to work around your pet’s schedule and their normal routine. I’ll be available around the clock for all your pet’s needs! What sets me apart is my calm, intuitive approach to animal care. I let each pet guide our interactions so they feel safe, secure, and comfortable. I’m really attentive and observant, so it’s easy for me to tell how your pet is doing and make them feel at ease!
“Juan walked our dog on short notice and was able to handle him jumping and barking without any issue. We really appreciate his friendliness and responsiveness.”
“Suphaphattra responded to us very quickly to walk our 55-lb lab mix on short-notice and did everything we hoped she would do! We would very happily use her services again - thank you Evie!”
About: I’m a prospective vet student with many years of experience walking, playing with, and caring for all kinds of animals! I can train young dogs. I have complete availability, meaning I have plenty of time to take care of your animals, spending time playing with them and loving on them. I have a fenced in big backyard. I have plenty of experience crating dogs, big and small, and I have no issue handling even the big dogs.
“Our dog Winnie loves going on walks with Aislyn! Aislyn is happy to let her wander and sniff to her heart’s delight, which really helps tire her out in time for some lazy afternoon naps.”
“Leaving another review because Arianna really worked around our last minute booking request, because we were going out of town for a day. She REALLY saved us! Additionally, I love receiving the fun pictures she takes of our dog, you can tell he is just having the best time when he is with Arianna.”
“Isabelle walks my goldendoodle furchild every day and she’s such an important part of Maya’s life. To start, she’s super communicative and reliable, which makes it really easy to plan and coordinate walks and dogcare with her. She was also great about learning what behaviors we try to reinforce, Maya’s habits and routines and what Maya eats, which gives me the warm and fuzzies that as a parent, aunt Isabelle is staying consistent with dad’s rules. Isabelle is so great with dogs and has good judgment generally; seeing how she interacts with Maya and hearing her describe how Maya did on a given walk, I trust her implicitly. Lately she’s been really helpful in figuring out fun new walking routes or destinations that cater to Maya’s interests and mood and energy level. Yep Isabelle is a wonderful dog “auntie” and just a delightful human being. I don’t know what her advertised rates are on here, but you should pay them and then some. Isabelle, get after it girl. Charge people what you’re worth! ?”
About: I have grown up around animals and have extensive experience with pet care and the adoption process, which has strengthened my passion for providing loving, attentive care. Over the years, I have become a trusted choice for many families because of my dedication, reliability, and commitment to treating every pet as if they were my own. I take pride in ensuring that animals feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am a college student working part-time mostly at night allowing me lots of time during the day to walk and play your pups! I am able to travel to your house and am able to take the pup on a walk or just stay and play for a bit!
About: I own a dog of 10 years, so I have plenty of experience taking care of a happy and healthy pet. I deeply understand what keeps a dog in great spirits. I feel an emphasis on play and experiences with a pet can elevate the relationship between owner and pet. I'm very flexible, all I need is a day's notice. I can work just about any hour of the day. If anything were to change suddenly, my client would be the first to know. My dog lives in my home and has a nice fenced yard to run around in. He goes on daily walks and gets plenty of exercise and play. He is also fed twice a day. I would bring the same energy for my client's dogs.
“Amber was very accommodating and understanding! She did a great job caring for my new puppy and sent pictures and gave great updates! Would definitely recommend her to anyone!!”
About: Growing up I always owned animals as I love all kinds of animals from big to small. It was always my dream to own a dog or a cat and ever since getting my very first dog in middle school, I learned a lot about what it takes to give love and handle an animal with care and attention. I would love to take care of your animal just as if it were my own as I own a cat myself and am fostering cats when I can. I am also an active volunteer for the rescue organization here in nova called 4paws. I believe that all animals deserve the best. I have several years of experience taking care of animals/pets and will follow any specific needs that your pet requires. I will promise to go above and beyond for your pet to make sure that you and your pet are more than happy! I am taking care of my cat full time and providing care for my clients throughout the week as well! I am usually spending time with my roommates cat as well. I provide a lot of toys and cat trees at home for my own cat and will make sure your pet is provided all of their needs.
“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: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child, I’ve owned a fish, 7+ rabbits, 2 hamsters, a turtle, a chick, and currently own 2 dogs. I’ve petsit for mainly friends, I’ve housed a dog until we could find him a home. I also have experience with Guinea pigs and cats. My current schedule is very open and I have lots of availability! I am available almost daily now and will have lots of time for your fur babies. When I walk dogs I love to play with them and pet them before doing anything else so that they feel more comfortable with me being in their home. Then I clean their diapers and wash/replace their food bowls. Then I will take them for a 30min-1 hour walk and when we return back home I like to give them play time if time allows.
About: I’ve taken care of a multitude of different dogs and cats throughout my life - whether it be for friends, neighbors, family, or even coworkers! I have lots of experience in cat care - including grooming, nail trimming, and oral medications. I have 3 cats of my own, so I’m very adaptive to all sorts of cat personalities! My experience with dog care is just as plentiful! I’ve taken many on fun walks, played fetch, groomed fur, and dispensed oral medication. I’m rather good when it comes to pulling on leashes, and I also have experience training young puppies. I’m available at all times during the week! Whether you’re looking for someone to check in on your pup to feed, give bathroom breaks, groom, or play with, I’m available morning, afternoon and evening! The same applies to kitty owners! I always make sure all fenced in homes are securely locked in the event a dog wants to play outside. All leashes and collars will be checked before walks, and if your dog isn’t friendly with other dogs I will be sure to maintain a safe space between myself and other owners. As for cats, I always make sure that all doors are quickly closed and closed all the way to prevent any indoor kitties from escaping. If your cat is outdoor/indoor, I’ll make sure they get back inside safe and sound!
About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, bathing, administering medication, litter box and yard cleanup, and of course, giving plenty of attention and care. Whether your pet needs a calm companion or a bit more hands-on help, I’m comfortable adapting to their needs and routine. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable looking after your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m currently working part-time at a grocery store as a summer job while I’m home from college, so my schedule is flexible and changes from week to week. That actually works well for pet sitting, since I’m often available at different times throughout the day and week. Whether your pet needs care in the morning, afternoon, or evening, there’s a good chance I can make it work. I enjoy fitting pet care into my routine—it’s a great way to spend time with animals and help people out while I’m on a more open summer schedule. When caring for pets in their own home, I take a calm, respectful approach that’s tailored to each pet’s individual personality and routine. I understand that every animal is different—some need extra playtime and attention, while others prefer quiet companionship. I do my best to follow their usual schedule and create a low-stress environment where they feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, giving medicine, or just spending quality time together, I adjust my care to match the pet’s needs and vibe.

Communication was great with check ins during the day and drop off/pick up went smoothly. So grateful to have found them!”
“Shaela did a great job caring for Astro on his 10 day stay with her and her pup, Luna. She was patient with his finnicky eating habits and tried her best to get him to eat. Luna and Astro coexisted peacefully during the stay, with no issues reported. Shaela sent a couple of photos and provided updates every couple of days. The neighborhood is busier than what Astro is accustomed to which scared him, but he eventually grew comfortable. I would leave Astro with Shaela and Luna again!”
“Harley was so happy to go back to Jennifer and her wonderful family for a long weekend. He gets showered with love by Jennifer, her sweet daughter Ramsey, and Grandmom Anne! I’m so happy he gets a happy easy-going doggy friend in Khali, and experience with Pursey the cat. It’s so nice knowing that he is so beautifully cared for. Jennifer was extra kind this time, giving him medicine and more walks since he couldn’t run around her spacious front yard due to a healing injury. We love getting updates and adorable pictures throughout his time there. I’m not sure Harley really wanted to leave!”
“Jason and Becky took care of our pet Cocoa for 9 days. They were reliable, professional, and clearly passionate about caring for pets. . From the initial meeting, they took time to understand our pet’s routine, dietary needs, and personality, which gave us great confidence while we were away. They provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which reassured us that Cocoa was happy and well cared for. Our pet seemed comfortable and relaxed when we returned, which speaks volumes about the level of care and attention provided. We have decided to leave Cocoa with them when we travel next time. Thank you Jason and Becky.”
“Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.”
“We had a positive experience with our sitter, Byamba. Though we had a tricky situation with one of our dogs initially (Mulan), Byamba truly went above and beyond to help us find a better arrangement for her. It wasn’t easy, but he handled it with patience and care. For the remainder of the stay, he took wonderful care of our other dog, Juke. We really appreciate his efforts, his updates, and his great photos! We’d be happy to book with Byamba again in the future for Juke. Overall, we’re very satisfied and grateful for his dedication!”
“This is Kobe’s 2nd time boarding with Kevin and his family! Wonderful hosts, Kobe almost didn’t want to leave and went back in the house to say goodbye :). Will definitely book with Kevin again!”
“John was an amazing sitter for our golden while we were away on an international trip for a week. He sent tons of photos of Kobe on his numerous walks and trips to the dog park. We will definitely book with John again!”
“Bridgid took great care of our dog and was super easy to work with. She was understanding and flexible with a last minute booking, sent periodic pictures and updates, and we were comfortable knowing our dog was getting personal care like she would at home. We will definitely have Poppy stay with her again. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Kelly has watched my older lab a few times now and we are so thankful to have found her. She takes great care of him and has helped me out of a couple binds (last minute drop-off/pick-up changes and stays).”
“Ewelina is very attentive and ensures my girl gets to stay active. Amoura adores Ewelina and is excited every time she sees her. I truly appreciate the daily updates and will continue booking with Ewelina whenever possible.”
“Alexis and Andrew took care of our dog, Hazel, over Thanksgiving and were amazing. They were kind enough to do a meet-and-greet beforehand and sent updates and pictures every day that we were away. Their family made Hazel feel right at home and we would recommend them 100%!!!”
“Kelly and her husband did a wonderful job watching our senior pup, Curie! They understand she was a bit shy initially but gave her plenty of treats and love. We appreciated the updates and wonderful pictures! Curie seemed very relaxed when we picked her up - a great sign. Thank you!”
“Elizabeth cared for our pup for the first time on our longest period away from her during an international trip. We never had to worry or wonder how she was because of how consistently Elizabeth kept us in the loop. We are so thankful we found her, she took amazing care of our baby!”
