Personalized care for your dog or cat - Fortson
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Fortson
“April was awesome! Pinky had a great time and we got pictures and videos. It was our first time leaving her with a sitter and we were nervous, but we’re put at ease as soon as we arrived. And Pinky is now crate trained!! If we are ever in the area again, we would board with April!”
“Sheri did a great job taking care of my German Shepard. I really liked that she sent pictures and told me what she was up to during the day. She was also really flexible with my schedule and had a nice backyard for Adal to play. Her other dog was very nice too. ”
“Our dogs love staying at Rachael’s! They are super tired from all their play when we pick them up. Rachael keeps me updated and sends pictures. We will keep bringing our pups!”
“Kimberly took great care of our Louie girl. Kimberly sent us photos each day we were gone. She also was able to pick up and drop off which was very convenient for us. Would rebook with her for sure!”
“My dogs mean everything to me and it can be difficult to find a dog sitter who understands the assignment. Allison understood the assignment. My girls are 10 years apart in age are different in temperament and personality. To me, it doesn’t take a lot to care for them but I never know if that is different in the eyes of the sitter. Allison welcomed them both into her home and cared for them just as I would. She provided updates and photos throughout the stay. She was also flexible in drop off time as I had a brain fart when initially booking the stay. I will definitely choose Allison again for future stays!”
“A wonderful pet sitter! Very communicative and warm. She was able to accommodate our last minute request, sent us updates and photos of our doggy while we were away, which was very reassuring, and she was flexible and understanding when our ferry delayed our pickup time by almost an hour. We would recommend her and be happy to have her care for our pup again in the future.”
“Addy had such a great visit with Bethany! She came home happy and we loved the updates. Knowing she was having a great time and was well cared for gave us the space to relax and enjoy our trip!”
“Kayla was very responsive throughout the booking process and while she + her family boarded our pups! She sent updates and pictures which gave us peace of mind. I will definitely book her for future care!”
“Marshel was great. A friendly family and extra caring for our doggo. She was available on a short notice over Thanksgiving after our previous sitter ghosted on us. Thank you so much!”
“First time using Rover and we lucked out with this last minute booking! Lana and her family are amazing. We were concerned about our Seabass being too anxious at night, but they made him feel very comfortable in their home. Their dog Amy is also very friendly. Seabass got to run around and play with Amy and her kids in their big backyard. He got to see their chickens and enjoyed a bonfire on his first night with them. I appreciate all the updates Lana sent us while we were away. We would definitely have our dog stay at their place again!”
“Hayley was AWESOME! She went way above and beyond to take care of our pug. Super responsive, and sent lots of pics and updates while we were away. She even bought our pug a little toy, which she totally loves. We highly recommend Hayley. You’re the best! Thanks, Hayley!”
“I can tell Loki absolutely enjoyed his time over there and I don’t think I could’ve picked anyone better to watch him. She really did treat him like her own dog and she kept me updated on all his silliness. Highly recommend!!”
“Kathy and her husband take such wonderful care of our little guy. We appreciate how caring and warm they always are with Falafel. He get so excited when he knows he is staying at Kathy’s!”
“Victor watched our 9 month old retriever for a week. He was quick to respond and sent us a photo every day. My dog also enjoyed playing with his dog. Will be re booking with Victor again!”
“I really don’t have the words to say how fabulous Bershka and her family is! They are wonderful people with a genuine love for animals and for helping others. Our cat was so well cared for during her long term boarding, that we were afraid she wouldn’t want to come home! I will 100%reach out to Bershka again for cat sitting and encourage everyone too as well!”
“Ashley and her family provided excellent care for our golden retriever Conner. Received photos daily of him playing and looking so happy!! We felt reassured that he was very comfortable and enjoying his new environment while we were on vacation.”

About: I grew up on a farm with 2 labs and have always had a special love for the canine friends. Since I’ve moved to the city I’ve missed my dogs and taking them on walks so I thought I’d sign up for this and meet some dog friends that need some company, I love all types of breeds and sizes. High energy dogs are not a problem for me at all, as I love going on runs with dogs and also playing at the park. I work a couple blocks away from where I live so it wouldn’t be a problem for me to watch your dogs while at work, since I could pop in to check on them and feed/let them use the bathroom. Thank you for looking, -Jacob I work flexible hours so I can work around any pet schedules I’m usually home till 12, and come back for lunch around 3 and then get off work usually 6-8pm but I set my own hours so it’s flexible for your dogs needs (: I have a house within walking distance to the park, I can take your dog on 2-3 walks per day and can also crate the dog if needed. I work close to home so I will always be 10-15 mins away and can pop in and check on the animals I set up to 3 times in a single workday before arriving home for the night. I have a little backyard area that is fenced off and also a park 4 blocks south of me, inside my apartment is all dog friendly and they are allowed on the furniture/beds
“Donna communicated well and took great care of the cats! They looked happy, and healthy and I got lots of photos and updates during the trip! Would use her again”
About: I don’t currently have any cats, but grew up with them and am confident in my abilities to care for them. I have taken care of cats for friends over the years and enjoyed every minute of it!
“About 1-1/2 months ago, we brought in a stray cat who was very scared of everything. Unfortunately, we had previously planned a 10 day trip and so were concerned as to what to do about our new cat, Percy. We searched online and discovered Rover. Bridgette, who does pet sitting through Rover, agreed to be at our home over the 10 day period when we would be gone. We are grateful that Bridgette was able to stay 24 hours a day as Percy was just too new to be left alone for long periods of time. We were delighted with the work she did for us. She was very responsible and we felt comfortable leaving her in charge of our home and Percy. Bridgette is very sweet and soft-spoken which was perfect for our anxious cat. He was very wary of her and hid away for much of the time, but Bridgette continued to care for his needs, plus her presence in our home must have given him a sense of companionship. Percy was starting to warm up to her and we are confident Bridgette will win him over as we definitely plan to use her in the future. We highly recommend Bridgette and Rover.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Fortson
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover. Our beloved 16 year old mixed crossed the rainbow bridge recently. I’m not yet ready to commit to another dog, but looking to become a doggie aunt and help out other fur parents! I’ve fostered with rescues so have experience with a wide range of needs.

And I’m also happy to cuddle with furry friends at the end of the day I live in a a house with a fully fenced yard and have no live-in pets or children. I don’t accept more than one dog at a time, so your pup can get the full attention they need.

“Our dog was happy when we dropped her off, showing that she had good memories from her past stay. She was relaxed, tired but happy when we picked her up, so had plenty of play time outside. She has separation anxiety and some insecurities, so it was great to see how comfortable she is there. Very happy with the daycare.”

“Idek where to start. We're not locals, we're just looking for someone to watch our dog for a day so we could go around to explore the town. Nicole was our #1 choice after scanning all the dog sitters in the area and I'm so glad we were accepted here! Louie had a blast! Nicole treated our boy just like any of her regular clients. He's never been to any daycare but he was so well taken care of under Nicole's watch. I so wish we lived in this neighborhood just so I could drop Louie off here daily to have some fun w his doggy friends. He even got a cookie to snack on a long car ride home.

“I want to thank Jordan for looking after my two dogs. She was so sweet and helpful. I loved that she was constantly updating about the dogs, and sending pictures and she took the time to play with them, fed them and took them for a walk. She was very patient with the dogs. Sanji and Robin are very playful since they’re about a year old. Honestly, after an unexpected long day at work it was great to know my dogs were im good hands. Thank you for asking about taking your shoes off inside the apartment it was very thoughtful and thank you for following all the instructions for the dogs”

Then again grew up on a farm. Willing to make extra drop ins if asked, to do over nights at your house if asked. Also willing to do Emergency care for longer stays if needed.

I live with my friend, on a 5 acre property, most is not fenced, there however is a small parcel with a fence behind the house for your dogs to run free with her 2 dogs who are very friendly with other dogs. Otherwise, there are cables for dogs that don't have good recall or likes to wander off. in the front yard. I do have a dog/cat bed ready to go, animals are allowed on my bed and stuff, unless the owners says otherwise, they will be allowed up. I also have some cat toys of my own your cats can play with. Same goes for dog toys, I bought some so the dogs had something to play with while here.

About: With over 6 years of pet care experience, I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique needs.

About: I am someone who truly believes that pets are an important part of the family. I have cared for dogs and cats with different personalities, routines and needs over the years and have a background in health care. I am confident I can take excellent care of your pets and give them the fulfillment they need while you are away! I am available daily with no set schedule. I have made the difficult decision to leave the nursing profession after 20 years to do something that brings me joy. I will respect your home and the pet’s environment as if it were my own. I am comfortable being in any type of environment and will follow whatever schedule and routine you need me to in order to care for your baby the best way possible.
About: I have had 20 years of one on one care of numerous different dogs and breeds. I have trained puppies and have done hospice care for my senior dogs. My love for dogs runs deeper than words can express. I have administrated medication in abundance of creative ways to administer. Walks and exercise is so important for the health of dogs and humans alike. It only takes about 5 minutes of time for dogs to get comfortable with me. They instantly feel the warmth, love, comfort and safety I am able to create, from years of knowing how to get to know them. I love exploring and hiking and I always love to have company that has four legs. I love to sleep with snuggle bears. If that is not something that is preferred I have had crated dogs and am comfortable not sleeping with them too.

“We are so thankful for Natasha’s help with Spiro! She was fabulous and gave us such confidence. Her communication is clear, consistent, and kind. We received multiple photos everyday of our boy having fun with Natasha which gave us the reassurance we needed to relax and enjoy our vacation!! Matched with her thorough experience caring for pets and her attention to detail and kindness, we couldn’t be happier. We would definitely book her again with highly highly recommend!! Thank you, Natasha!”
About: I have taken care of just about every type of animal since I was young (dogs, cats, horses, birds, fish, hedgehogs, gerbils, snakes, etc.) I've trained and raised several puppies and kittens. The majority of the animals in my life were adult animals and if they were family pets, they stayed with us until it was time to cross the rainbow bridge so I also have a fair amount of experience with senior care as well. I grew up with no less than 4 animals in the house at all times, so I'm very good with multiple-pet households, but I currently live in a household with only one dog, so I am also comfortable doting on just one at a time :) I am currently available 24/7 and this is my primary career! I am happy to care for your fuzzy friends and family any time of day or night, their set schedule becomes my own! :3 I really believe every pet is different and taking into account their personality, energy, as well as their history or needs is very important. I like to give pets loads of attention if they are the type that likes attention, or I'm happy to just sit and read a book with them if they are more the sleepy type. I don't believe in leaving dogs in yards unattended, and I am a very communicative person-- I am not afraid to ask questions or clarify things I may not be sure of.
About: I grew up with a Pomeranian and cared for him through his senior years, so I know the extra patience and gentleness older pets need. I also raised my brother’s kitten to adulthood and have dog sat for relatives and cat sat for friends and coworkers, from playful puppies to shy kitties. What sets me apart is that pets have never been a side interest for me. Pets have been a part of my daily life since childhood, and I treat every animal like my own! As a student, my schedule gives me a good amount of flexibility during the week, so pet care fits in naturally rather than being squeezed in around a rigid 9-to-5. I can build feeding, walks, and playtime into my day without rushing, and I have the free time to give each pet real attention, not just a quick check-in. That flexibility also means I can adjust to a pet’s routine instead of asking them to adjust to mine. I only provide care in the client’s home, since I think pets do best staying in their own familiar environment, surrounded by their usual smells, sounds, and routine instead of the stress of a new space. When I’m there, I stick closely to the pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime, and I make sure to spend real one-on-one time with them, not just handle the basics. I also keep an eye on anything that seems off whether it’s their appetite, energy, or behavior so I can flag it to the owner right away.
“Jacob is friendly and experienced, and my nervous mini shepherd warmed up to him immediately. Jacob was prompt and he spent time making us both comfortable. He gave me my full time and was so easy to work with. I highly recommend him!”
About: I am 20, 21 in March. I’m interested in pet and childcare. I realized I’ve always been a caretaker and always make sure I’m doing above and beyond care. I am currently in school. I go to EVCC but only have classes on Tuesday in the evening. I am currently trying to finish up school so I can become a para educator or work at a daycare. For home care. I care for my animals by feeding them. Letting them out every 1-2 hours. Obviously the treats are super important! I care for a guinea pig by keeping him on a healthy scheduled feeding and I also care for a reptile with a regular feeding, cleaning and shed helping!
About: I have taken care of sick dogs puppies and elder dogs doing walks and feeding and just watching and playing and a little training with puppies.

About: Hi, I'm Trisha! I have been married for a little over 5 years to my husband Shawn. I have 2 children, a 10 year old boy, named Orion, and my daughter Kaylee, who would have been 22 years old, unfortunately she passed away from a car accident in 2020. I grew up in a little country town in CA. And was raised with animals. My grandpa was a big animal lover, and we had everything from a baby bear cub to kittens. I was in FFA for 4 years and raised a pig all 4 years to sell at the fair. Shawn is from the Arlington area and was also raised with animals. He has raised everything from goats to kittens. We feel that your pets aren't just pets, but more like a child, and we know the importance of finding the right care for your Fur-Babies. A majority of the pets we have cared for have been rescue pets. The the transition for them is hard enough as it is being left at a stranger's house, and we don't want to make that transition any more difficult for them. We ask that you bring an item with them, something that they associate with you and home. Also we ask for these items as well: food, food bowl, and water bowl, bed or bedding, toys they may want to play with, treats, and of course a daily interaction log ( we want to keep them on the same routine that they are use to, or as close to it as we can) I also try and send pictures daily, but in the off chance I miss a day, I send extra shots the next day. If we sound like a good fit for you, we are always happy to set up a meet and greet at our place for introductions. (We have also taken in fur-kids without meet and greets.) Drop off and pick up are as followed: Drop Offs: before 6:30am are an additional $10.00 Pick ups: after 8pm will be an additional $1.00 per minute unless prior arrangements have been made with Shawn or myself. Also we have a $20.00 off your first booking with us, for you! (Can only be used for our services) please ask for coupon code! Have a great day. And we look forward to caring for your Fur-Babies🐱🐕🐶🐩🐺🐈 I currently work 7am to 3pm Monday through Friday. And Shawn works from home as an independent contractor, so your Fur-baby would always have someone with them. We live in quiet housing complex right off of Smokey Point Blvd. that gives you quick and easy access to I5. We have a 6'' fenced back yard, live at the end of a dead end street, very little traffic.
About: I stand out as a pet sitter because of my extensive experience and personalized care. With over 6 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all ages from playful puppies to senior companions I have developed the skills to meet each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s training a rambunctious puppy, providing gentle care for an elderly dog, or ensuring daily routines are maintained, I bring patience, reliability, and a deep love for animals to every interaction. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. With me, you can feel confident knowing your furry friend is in trustworthy and capable hands. I go above and beyond to create a safe, nurturing environment, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Choosing me means choosing someone who will treat your pet like family!” Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule to ensure I can dedicate the time and attention each pet deserves. From morning walks to evening check ins, I incorporate pet care into my day seamlessly, making it a priority to maintain consistent routines that keep pets happy and comfortable. Whether it’s playtime, feeding schedules, or special care needs, I make it my mission to provide reliable and loving care that fits smoothly into my daily life. Pet care isn’t just something I do it’s a passion that energizes me and brings joy to my routine! When caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness above all else. In my home, I create a pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play, cozy spots for rest, and a routine that mimics their usual schedule. I ensure they feel like part of the family, providing personalized care tailored to their needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I go the extra mile to maintain their familiar surroundings and routines. I respect the client’s home, keeping it secure and leaving it just as I found it. My focus is always on the pet’s well-being, providing the same love and attention as if they were my own.
About: I’m passionate about caring for dogs and creating a positive, loving environment for them. Having experience with many different types of dogs, I understand that every dog is unique and deserves patience, attention, and personalized care. Pet care fits into my routine easily since I currently have an open and flexible schedule focused on pet sitting. Each day, I plan around feeding, fresh water, walks or playtime, cleaning, and regular check-ins to make sure pets are safe and comfortable. Each week, I also handle deeper cleaning, grooming if needed, restocking supplies, and longer exercise or enrichment activities. My flexible availability allows me to adapt to each client’s schedule while providing consistent, reliable care every day. I provide reliable, attentive pet care in both my own home and clients’ homes, always focused on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I follow consistent routines that include feeding, fresh water, exercise, play, grooming, and health monitoring. In clients’ homes, I carefully follow all instructions, maintain the pet’s normal schedule, clean up after them, and provide updates so owners stay informed. My goal is to treat every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own, with a strong focus on trust, consistency, and communication.

“April was awesome! Pinky had a great time and we got pictures and videos. It was our first time leaving her with a sitter and we were nervous, but we’re put at ease as soon as we arrived. And Pinky is now crate trained!! If we are ever in the area again, we would board with April!”
“Sheri did a great job taking care of my German Shepard. I really liked that she sent pictures and told me what she was up to during the day. She was also really flexible with my schedule and had a nice backyard for Adal to play. Her other dog was very nice too. ”
“Our dogs love staying at Rachael’s! They are super tired from all their play when we pick them up. Rachael keeps me updated and sends pictures. We will keep bringing our pups!”
“Kimberly took great care of our Louie girl. Kimberly sent us photos each day we were gone. She also was able to pick up and drop off which was very convenient for us. Would rebook with her for sure!”
“My dogs mean everything to me and it can be difficult to find a dog sitter who understands the assignment. Allison understood the assignment. My girls are 10 years apart in age are different in temperament and personality. To me, it doesn’t take a lot to care for them but I never know if that is different in the eyes of the sitter. Allison welcomed them both into her home and cared for them just as I would. She provided updates and photos throughout the stay. She was also flexible in drop off time as I had a brain fart when initially booking the stay. I will definitely choose Allison again for future stays!”
“Addy had such a great visit with Bethany! She came home happy and we loved the updates. Knowing she was having a great time and was well cared for gave us the space to relax and enjoy our trip!”
“Kayla was very responsive throughout the booking process and while she + her family boarded our pups! She sent updates and pictures which gave us peace of mind. I will definitely book her for future care!”
“First time using Rover and we lucked out with this last minute booking! Lana and her family are amazing. We were concerned about our Seabass being too anxious at night, but they made him feel very comfortable in their home. Their dog Amy is also very friendly. Seabass got to run around and play with Amy and her kids in their big backyard. He got to see their chickens and enjoyed a bonfire on his first night with them. I appreciate all the updates Lana sent us while we were away. We would definitely have our dog stay at their place again!”
“Hayley was AWESOME! She went way above and beyond to take care of our pug. Super responsive, and sent lots of pics and updates while we were away. She even bought our pug a little toy, which she totally loves. We highly recommend Hayley. You’re the best! Thanks, Hayley!”
“I can tell Loki absolutely enjoyed his time over there and I don’t think I could’ve picked anyone better to watch him. She really did treat him like her own dog and she kept me updated on all his silliness. Highly recommend!!”
“Ashley and her family provided excellent care for our golden retriever Conner. Received photos daily of him playing and looking so happy!! We felt reassured that he was very comfortable and enjoying his new environment while we were on vacation.”
“Janelle and Travis did an excellent job taking care of Arlo! They were attentive, responsible, and made sure Arlo felt right at home. Their quick responses and flexibility in accommodating our requests were greatly appreciated. Arlo had a wonderful time under their care, and we would definitely trust them again in the future!”
“Carmen is amazing! She saved our family vacation, when plans changed last minute with our pet sitter. Carmen welcomed our pup with ease, and we were able to continue with our family vacation. Carmen is friendly and easy to communicate with. Updated me about my pup when I needed. She’s really good and has a lot of experience! Highly recommend her!”
“Phenomenal Rover! Our dogs are always so excited when we pull into her driveway and we really appreciate how genuine she is in her care for our dogs and how understanding she is when there have been hiccups in our scheduled plans.”
“Kelsey was amazing with our 2 year old Newfoundland Poodle mix! Our dog is very large and new to boarding, so had some nerves to work out. Kelsey was very patient and kind with him. On day 1 he was reluctant to come out of the kennel, but by the end of his stay, he was happily running in the yard with other dogs. Kelsey sent us videos and pictures for his entire stay. We really appreciate her great care for our silly goofball”
“I was so nervous at first to leave our dogs with someone we didn’t know but, we LOVED Lynne!! She took such good care of our dogs. Treated them like her own. We got pics and updates everyday! Lynne is the best!!!!”
