“Maria is such a caring human and our dog is not only excited to arrive to her home but also so well adjusted when we pick her up that we know she's had a great time.”
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”
“Kirsten hosted our 1 1/2 yr old black lab for 9 days for our first Rover boarding experience and it was so smooth from drop off to pick up! Kirsten was very communicative and sent daily activity summaries and pictures throughout Skye's stay. It put our mind at ease knowing that Kirsten and her family have extensive dog experience and clearly care for each dog that comes through their home. We will definitely be having Skye stay at Kirsten's for any future trips!”
“Mike was a true gift during a very emotional and busy time. With family in town for my father’s funeral, I needed a peaceful place for my dog Bo to stay for a few days. Mike and Shari welcomed him into their beautiful, woodsy home—with picture windows that Bo immediately wanted to look out, and a calm, comforting vibe. When I picked him up at the end of his stay Bo was a relaxed and happy dog! Thanks guys!”
“Incredible care taker for our pups! Lindsey kept me informed and sent pictures daily. Very thankful to have found her. Her family definitely settled my nerves about going out if town!”
“The best people I’ve ever left Arbor with. They really went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable. Sent pictures regularly. Even gave her a bath and brushed her! Will 100000% book again!”
“Maui is always well taken care of when she is with James. When we used to take her to a different boarder we could always tell she had been stressed, but that has never happened with James. He sends pictures and videos while we are away and I am always glad to see Maui playing and going for walks. We will happily continue to have James watch our girl!”
“Glad to have left my Teddy at Kristina’s care. I knew he would be well taken care of while I was away. Kristina initiated the meet-and-greet which I very much appreciated. I’m always hesitant to just drop off Teddy somewhere new without meeting first so it was cool that Teddy got to meet Kristina and family and their fur baby Luna first before spending a few nights over. Kristina kept me updated with pictures and texts. And I’m grateful she adjusted time of pick up as well. Definitely recommend Kristina to watch your fur babies.”
“Leslie was truly amazing! Her communication was thorough before the weekend, and kept us updated through the weekend with videos and photos. She will be our first connection the next time we need a sitter. Thank you for your kindness and taking care of our Ellie, Leslie. You are wonderful!”
“Alyssa jumped in while Dane was out of town and made Lobster’s stay feel like a mini vacation. Lobster came along with his buddy Ren and they were straight into dog park adventures, backyard playtime, and running around with Lady (their adora-pup) like old friends. Between hanging out with Alyssa and her two daughters and all the fun outside, the dogs were clearly living their best lives. The steady stream of happy photos made it obvious they were having a blast and being so well cared for. We live 35 mins away from Dane and Alyssa, and the distance didn't bother us because we know our pup will be in good hands. We will book again and again!”
“Colleen was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was warm, kind, and sent lots of updates. I felt safe leaving my fur daughter with her and would definitely go back. Thanks, Colleen! ❤️”
“Scooby was treated like a king! Kayla’s kids always made sure he was nice and comfortable. Her husband took him on runs and he was made to feel like part of the family. We will definitely use Kayla again.”
“Kristin and her family were great! Our large dog Sumo had a fantastic time and was taken care of with love by Kristin. She made everything very easy for us and was flexible with the pick up time as our travels extended a bit. We will happily be rebooking in the future!”
“I’m a repeat client and always very happy with the care my pet receives! The sitter is responsible and kind. My dog feels comfortable and happy every time, and I always get updates and photos while I’m away. Highly recommend!”
“We finally don't need to worry when leaving town. So happy that we've found Danielle, her husband and their sweet boy, Shiro. Seeing Bamba sleeping on her back, with legs wide open - I knew she felt safe and happy there. It almost feels like she's sad to come back home after having an awesome week. Thanks guys! You'll see Bamba again very soon!”
“Samantha is a wonderful and sweet person who took great care of Milo! She was super understanding about Milo’s reactivity towards other dogs/people and sent lots of pics every day ☺️ She’s a great communicator and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Brenda was a wonderful sitter for Penny! She was responsive, detail orientated, sent the best pictures, and I could tell she really cared about Pennys wellbeing! Would highly recommend.”
“We had our Maltese, Beau, stay with Miranda for just over a week. She kept us up to date about how he was doing. Actually, he made friends with two cats, which was a surprise to me. Beau was comfortable at Miranda's place. He was happy to see me when I picked him up, but I think he had fun staying at Miranda's.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Jean-Paul. We have had a tough time finding a cat sitter capable of dealing with our grumpy cat, but Jean-Paul was not deterred and handled him without issue. He gave all feedings and administered medication with ease and took extra time to give both our cats some love and playtime. He paid special attention to the litter box and water dishes, as well as the state of our house while we were away, even checking on our plants and opening some windows to air out of he house when it was unseasonably warm. His updates were informative and humorous, and put our minds at ease while we were away. Any cats would be lucky to get to hang out with Jean-Paul while their owners are away!”
“Jess took great care of our cat while we were away. He is a bit shy and she managed to befriend him right away, and she sent many photos and updates every day that we were gone. Would definitely have her come watch him again!”
“Morgen is a wonderful caretaker. Morgen took care of our senior kitty while we were away for several days. We received pictures and helpful notes with details about our cat’s behavior and indications. We felt reassured that our kitty was in good hands. Thank you Morgen, we appreciate you!”
About: A few years ago, after caring for her two cats for several weeks, a friend remarked about how she was proud to have converted me into a cat lady. I enjoy the company and independence of cats and always have a lovely time looking after them.
About: What sets me apart is my combination of lifelong hands-on experience and professional knowledge of animal care. I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have always shared my home with cats. Growing up, my family bred our dog, and I helped raise and potty train the puppies before they went to their forever homes. That experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement from an early age. Today, I’m a high school Animal Science teacher, where I teach students about animal health, behavior, welfare, and responsible care. I enjoy working with dogs of all ages, especially reinforcing good manners and basic training. Friends and family often ask me for help with training their dogs, and I love helping build confidence through positive reinforcement. I’m also experienced administering medications and following detailed care instructions, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with special medical or daily care needs. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, an adult dog who loves adventure, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or a cat who enjoys a calm companion, I’ll provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. Since I’m a teacher on summer break I have lots of weekday availability right now. I have very flexible availability, if you don’t see the time/days you need on my schedule, don’t hesitate to reach out and ask. I have a fenced in yard and an XL wire kennel in a calm area your furry friend is welcome to use. My dog, Lady, is very sweet and gets along really well with other dogs (even her grumpy old cousin). She loves playing with others, but I can keep her separated as needed. My cat, Mister, he is okay with other dogs coming over and just hangs out in his own space until he can trust the new doggo. I will treat your pet with the love and care I give to mine. I will follow any rules, commands, and training practices that you use with your pet. I use force-free, reward-based training to build clear communication, trust, and reliable everyday behavior. I have experience with gentle leaders, no-pull harnesses, and structured collar systems when appropriate for safety and handling. I can help with: * Loose-leash walking & pulling * Leash reactivity / frustration * Basic obedience (sit, down, stay, recall) * Recall in distracting environments * Impulse control & leash manners My approach is tailored to each dog’s temperament and focuses on real-world success and consistency between sessions. I also make sure to review each pet’s profile so owners don’t have to repeat information. For severe aggression or complex behavioral cases, I’ll communicate honestly if a certified behaviorist may be a better fit.
“Ella could not have been a better fit for my timid cat. While he wasn't much for playing, he did find the courage to come out from hiding to see her every day. So grateful for her kindness and patience in watching him while I enjoyed a much needed vacation.”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my dependable, calm nature. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including playful puppies and gentle senior pups who need extra care and patience. I’m detail-oriented, consistent, and always prioritize safety—whether it’s on walks, during let-outs, or keeping up with feeding and routines. Please message me before scheduling, thank you! I am a part time student at OC so Mondays and Wednesdays I have class from 10-3:15 and then I coach basketball in the evenings around 6. Tuesdays and Thursday I have practice from 6-8pm but the rest of my day is free. And Fridays I have completely off. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their routine as closely as possible. I give dogs my full attention—whether it’s a walk, potty break, or playtime—and always ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I keep water bowls full, clean up after them, and give updates if requested. Respecting your space and your pet’s comfort is a top priority for me.
About: have 2 years of hands-on experience caring for cats and genuinely enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. My experience includes feeding, brushing, litter box care, playtime, and providing plenty of attention based on each cat’s individual personality and needs. I understand how important routine and patience can be for cats, especially in their home environment. Whether your cat is social and playful or more shy and independent, I take the time to help them feel comfortable and respected. I’m also comfortable administering medications with clear instructions and always aim to provide dependable, attentive care and regular updates for pet parents.

“We can't say enough great things about Mimi's care and love for our little Vinnie. She was warm and friendly, obviously a great dog person. We were at our daughter's wedding a few miles away, and she sent us a photo and description of Vinnie obviously doing fine. Thank you Mimi!”
“My dogs had a blast! They have a nice big yard to run around in. My dog Sophie even seemed happy! She is usually very scared and nervous. They send photos of the dogs during day . Anna is very nice. I would recommend her .”
“Kirsten took great care of our dog! He came home happy and tired after a fun day of playing. She was also responsive and conscientious to make sure our dog was comfortable and matched up well with the other doggies at daycare that day.”
“Maria is amazing!! Our pups got to spend the day going for walks and enjoying the company of other dogs in thr comfort of Maria's home! I think one of our dogs actually got mad that she had to leave 😉”
“Jen was great with our dog Lucy! She was very patient as Lucy was a bit nervous and got settled in. But she took her on a lovely beach walk and Lucy really enjoyed that. Afterwards, Lucy got playtime with Jen's dog Tillie and a nice snooze in the sun. Jen kept us apprised of all the happenings with kits of photos. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Thanks to Kayla & family we had a great first time experience on Rover! Super responsive, accommodating, and let me bring Frankie for a visit to meet them the day before. Her kids loved on our dog and she sent pictures of Frankie snuggling😊”
“Kristina is an amazing furbaby sitter, and we are so grateful for the care and attention she gives to Enzo every time he stays with her. Enzo is a regular with Kristina, which says a lot about the trust and comfort we feel leaving him in her care. She is dependable, kind, and truly treats him like family. We always appreciate the updates, love, and patience she gives him, and it gives us peace of mind knowing he is safe, happy, and well cared for. Enzo always comes home relaxed and happy, and we highly recommend Kristina to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter! 🐾”
“Shannon was fantastic with my nervous rescue senior chihuahua mix. I received regular updates throughout the day, and my dog got more walks and more company/attention than if I had left her at home to work. Shannon also made sure to ask about a potential vet to contact in case of emergencies and was generally very considerate. Truly, a godsend.”
“Rachael is the absolute best! Quick to respond and keep me updated on my doggo with pics. It’s my first time using Rover and she made the experience a great one. She came in as a lifesaver when i needed a super last min sitter. She took care of my Luna like it was her own. Super recommend ❤️”
“We are very pleased with Cathleen and how well she cared for Lucy. We had a meet & greet first and then scheduled Lucy’s first visit for today. All I can say is that it’s a good life for a dog if they spend the day with Cathleen! Walks, beach, and naps!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8, from newborn puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I love playing fetch, cuddling on the couch for quiet time as well as running around together in the terraced backyard. If you’re looking for a mini summer camp for your pup, no matter their size or age, you’ve found the right place! I work from home as an artist with 2 small dogs that love meeting new friends! I’m home Monday- Friday and several weekends each month. I also have a separate living room for your cat where it will have the run of the place without other pets. I don’t have children, I have dogs. They sleep in the bedroom and I take them everywhere; camping, roadtrips, and I’ve even taken them abroad with me for vacation!
“Such a wonderful feeling when you finally found a great sitter for your pup! Zoie has never been this happy being away from me! It only goes to show that Daisha and Tam did a fabulous job of caring for and treating my pup like their own. I would definitely use their services again and highly recommended.”
“Wynona was wonderful watching our dog Lucy. She seemed to really understand how all dogs can be different and gave Lucy a lot of space to adjust to a new place. Wynona was great at sending me uodates, photos and a video. Lucy had a really good time there and hopefully will be going back soon!”
“Tomas took very good care of Evie, he gave her a lot of attention and really spoiled her. Evie had a great time , got along well with Karma and both respected each others space. Tomas made sure Evie had lots of playtime, treats and snuggles. Evie can’t wait to see Tomas & Karma again!”
“Tyler and Alexis are great! Very flexible and responsive, a great space in their home an yard, and most importantly, great with all the dogs. They've done a great job with both of our dogs, both of whom have their quirks and challenges, and I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Eric is the absolute best! Our 8 mo old Australian Shepard rescue mix cannot be left at home alone due to her separation anxiety and Eric accommodated a last minute request for her to try doggie day care with him (her first doggie day care experience). She loves it! He does a great slow introduction with the dogs by doing a crate greeting in the morning before free play outside later. Mari played with so many dogs of all sizes! She needs a ton of exercise (plus puppy naps) and Eric totally delivered! We immediately booked him for the next day (and the next)! I cannot recommend him highly enough for energetic dogs who love to play with others. His fully fenced backyard is HUGE as well, and he was so careful about safety during the massive heat wave this week. Thank you, Eric!”
“Jerry was thoughtful, communicative and did a great job caring for my dog! My dog is an escape artist and I felt comfortable leaving her in his care because he has a secure backyard, a double gate system by the front door, and was diligent about keeping her safe.”

“Oh my gosh......Hope. She has been such a great addition to Lilli's walkers/pet sitters. Lilli loves spending time with her. She is very chill, and dependable, timely & just a nice person. She gets Lills out and active and burning energy. She has a natural ability with dogs (with Lilli). She is attentive, yet doesn't freak out when Lilli does dog things, which I appreciate so much. Thanks Hope - we love you.”

About: Ive grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. I spent a lot of time with my cousin being a breeder taking her dogs to shows, I have learned how to take care of dogs and how to approach the ones that can be a handful at times.

About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience! I grew up with multiple dogs and have spent years walking and caring for pets, including overnight stays. I’m comfortable with different routines, energy levels, and personalities—and I always make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. Mondays–Wednesdays are my off days and my most flexible time. I work Thursday–Sunday afternoons starting around 2, and my mornings are usually reserved for staying active—walks, workouts, or anything that gets me moving. I don’t have pets currently, but I’ve grown up caring for family and friends’ dogs and I’m comfortable with most breeds, prioritizing calm, safe, attentive care.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 10 years, providing consistent, attentive care for dogs of different sizes and personalities. My experience includes daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, administering oral medications, light grooming such as brushing, and, most importantly, giving plenty of love and attention. I understand how important it is to maintain a pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient, observant, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s extra exercise, gentle care, or simply companionship. I am currently working 5 days a week, and will be available on my days off. I miss dog sitting/dog walking as a hobby and would love to start doing it again. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs at my house, so I prefer to take care of the pets at the owners home. I would care for them by playing, taking them outside as needed, staying on a feeding schedule and possibly bathing if the owners request !
