“Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.”


“Bria was fantastic. This was our first time booking with her and the meet and greet went smoothly. She took excellent care of both Hampton and Neko and kept our home clean and tidy. We felt completely at ease while we were away. We are already looking forward to having her sit for us again soon. Highly recommend.”


About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs, cats, and everything in-between for as long as I can remember. From pit-bulls to terriers, handicapped chickens to one eyed kittens and animals with at least 8 legs, i’ve seen it all. Apart from caring for my own dogs, cats, and other pets over the years, I did freelance petsitting and dog walking in and around my neighborhood for around seven years, ranging from dog walks while the owner was at work, to late night cat feedings and prescription medication administration, to trying to give a rabbit a bath. I have a high level of experience caring for both puppies/kittens and elderly dogs and cats, having worked to foster puppies and kittens with my local ASPCA for nearly a decade as well as helped raise and train one of my family dogs, and care for my elderly, disabled dog in her later years. I also have background training with the ASPCA regarding animal safety (specifically reactive or defensive dogs) and basic dog and cat body language, crucial aspects of keeping everyone involved healthy and happy! I’m currently a college student home for the summer- my schedule is very open and very flexible, depending on the individual needs of the animal. I can match whatever level of energy your pet needs within the home- whether it be constant cuddles and attention, hours of playtime, or just an omniscient hand filling the food bowl and grabbing the leash! I’m comfortable administering oral or topical medications, able to control and crate dogs if the need arises, and (i’d like to think) i’ve learned some pretty good strategies to stop unwanted barking late at night over the years. I value the mental and physical comfort of the animal i’m caring for first and foremost, whether that means hands on attention or a more quiet, calm approach to time spent with your pet. I’m willing to care for and spend time with shy or reactive dogs as long as they’re within my size range. Having owned both a very senile, timid dog and a very reactive, defensive dog, it’s important to me that they receive the amount of care and attention in the home they deserve :)

“Victoria is absolutely amazing! I’ve hired her multiple times and she takes incredible care of my pets. My cat who is usually very shy warmed up to her and even sat on her lap! He doesn’t do that with anyone but me which speaks volumes of how caring Victoria is and how safe he feels around her. She is the best sitter and I highly recommend her!”


“Elizabeth was amazing! She was so good with our three dogs and cat. They are a handful and we worry leaving them with new people but Elizabeth put our minds at ease with frequent updates and photos. She stayed at our house and left it cleaner than she found it! She really thought of everything to make sure our late arrival home was as smooth as possible. Would 100% recommend Elizabeth!”


“Allison was amazing with our pittie mix rescue who was a stray for 2 years and can be anxious and skittish. She immediately loved Allison (more so than she even loves us, I was joking with my husband) and even went to sleep while Allison was watching her which is unheard of for our dog. Highly recommend, Allison is truly a dog whisperer!”


“Kathleen helped out last minute with a dog sitting for our girls and we couldn't be happier to have had her watch them. She was really sweet to them and sent updates while we were out of the house so we felt very at ease.”



“Lyndsay spent a week staying at our house taking care of our dog and 2 cats. Great level of contact and photos. Our pets were super well taken care of. Will absolutely use her service before anyone else the next time.”


“Madison did a great job with our dog! She was very quick to respond to messages and provided many updates throughout the week. We returned from our trip to a clean house!”


“Shania watched Gizmo for a few days and made sure all of his needs were met and sent me pics of a healthy, happy pup!! She also left my home immaculate. Would absolutely book in the future!”


“We were very happy with Susan as a pet sitter. She was very attentive to and engaging with our dog, followed all our instructions, and sent a nice amount of text updates and photos of Bruno. We highly recommend Susan.”


“Emily couldn’t have been nicer. Our dog is very nervous and has trouble adjusting to new people, Emily is the only sitter who has ever gotten a leash on her— she is patient and kind and really won her trust. She also cared for our cat who had health issues and was very conscientious about keeping us updated. Emily sent great pics throughout her stay, we’d love to have her again.”


About: What makes me different is the calm, personalized care I give every dog. I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and happy—whether that’s a slow walk, a cozy spot to nap, or a little extra playtime. I’m also comfortable giving medications and following special routines if needed. I’m reliable, easygoing, and always keep you updated, so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands. I’m currently between jobs so I’m available whenever. I do photography on the side at some different race tracks. When I’m not doing photography I’m in my back yard playing with my three dogs or I’m in the house with the cats. I have a fenced in yard that I let my dogs run and play in. I take my puppy for long walks to burn our energy out before taking him to Starbucks to get a pup cup and go back home for a nap.


“I had the pleasure of working with Robyn as my dog walker/dog sitter. From day one, it was clear that Robyn had a genuine love and passion for dogs. Her professionalism and reliability were outstanding. I always knew I could count on her to be on time and take great care of my furry friend. Not only did she ensure my dog got plenty of exercise and fresh air, but she also provided the companionship and attention that my babies need. She made sure to always send daily updates and pictures! What sets Robyn apart is her deep understanding of canine behavior. She knew just how to handle my dog’s personality and needs, making every walk a positive experience. She made sure to ask me about training and what she can do to follow our usual routine as closely as possible. My dogs absolutely adored Robyn and were always excited to see her. Safety was a top priority for Robyn as well. I appreciated the thoroughness in making sure my dog was secure during walks, especially when crossing streets or encountering other dogs. Her attention to detail gave me peace of mind. I can’t recommend Robyn highly enough. She provided exceptional care, trustworthiness, and genuine affection for my pet. If you want a dog walker who goes above and beyond, Robyn is the one to choose. My pups and I are truly grateful for her wonderful service and will be recommending her to family and friends.”


About: I’m a dog owner, and have been trusted by friends and neighbors to watch dogs of all breeds and sizes! I love long walks, and am able to do overnights or walks/checkins as needed! I’m a recent college graduate and mostly doing freelance/remote work as I put together law school applications. This means I have lots of time to care for your furry friends! Pets in my home will get to hang out with my very friendly dog, Goose, and are allowed in all rooms of the house. We’re careful to keep any substances that are harmful to pets out of the way. In your home, I’ll be sure to take excellent care of your pets, and am happy to help with watering or picking up mail!

“Destiny cared for my cat and my home for 2 days. My cat quickly warmed up to her. She is attentive, responsible, and dependable. She followed feeding and care instructions for my cat exactly as I explained them to her and she handled his demanding ways with ease and a great attitude. This was my first experience with a cat sitter in my home and I was a bit apprehensive, but Destiny's service has put me at ease and given me faith in a wonderful option for cat care when I am on travel.”


“Holly was a wonderful sitter for my elderly dog and cat! She maintained great communication and sent daily pictures. She let me know that my dog had an accident on the rug which I appreciated so that I could avoid damaging my floor!”

Wakefield pet parents share their Rover experiences
Samantha was wonderful! She stayed at our house with our dog for a full week when we went away - I got daily updates/pictures and could relax knowing our dog (who is a nervous rescue) was comfortable and being taken care of. Plus she kept the house very tidy! I would definitely recommend her to watch your pet if needed, we would for sure use her again!

Jai did an excellent job caring for my kitty while I was out of town for over a week! When I came home, my apartment was in excellent shape, Jai followed all my care instructions and sent lots of photos and videos. I could rest assured that my little guy was having a great time with her! I highly recommend Jai, and would definitely book her again ❤️

We are so thankful we found Talayia to watch our two dogs and cat for overnight stays! She really came through for us at the last minute when we were in a tough spot of our last sitter cancelling. She communicated with us daily and sent us picture updates which put us at ease for the two weeks we were gone. She also kept our plants alive and our house was kept clean. Thank you so much for everything!!

Carol and our dogs experienced love at first sight. Our dogs immediately felt at ease with her. They loved and respected her. We have two large dogs and they were comforted by Carol’s energy. She was timely, confident, kind, thoughtful, and caring. Carol sent us pictures daily, modified food for sensitive stomachs, and communicated excellently and quickly. We can’t say enough good things! She’s excellent and a true pet lover. Our hamster loved her too!

Sarah did a great job watching our two cavaliers for a week while we were away! She sent lots of pictures and regular updates and our pups were happy and relaxed when we returned. We would love to work with Sarah again in the future and would highly recommend her based on her professionalism, reliability, excellent communication, and care for our dogs and home. Thank you, Sarah!

Leah and Shawn are the sweetest people- they were nice enough to do a meet and greet with my Rottie and I the day before I requested them to watch her for the day and were friendly, professional and on time. The day of, Leah sent me updates with pics throughout the day, which really helped me focus at work. I had been working remotely for over 4 years, and my Rottweiler Zara, who already suffers from diagnosed separation and general anxiety, was having a hard time without me home. Leah's sweet and calming demeanor really put Zara at ease, and they were able to hang out for several hours together without incident. She even went out of the house with her, even just for a 5 minute walk, which she typically never does without me or my husband due to her anxiety and depression when I'm not with her. I'm excited to see Zara bloom in her care as we continue to use Leah's services!

Jen was great while I was away for a few days. She took care of two Boxers, one a senior. She truly cared about the dogs. She communicated often and sent updates and pictures. She did ask a question if she had any concerns. I would definitely recommend Jen to take care of your family pet.

Amber did really well with my Boston Terrier for four days without any issues. She communicated, sent pics and updates without me requesting them so that’s a plus. Prince is my third son and I am very particular about him but I would definitely book her again.
