“Frances & Julia were great. They were responsive to our last minute booking request and communicative throughout the visits we scheduled over a weekend while we were away. The photos and videos they shared with us of our puppy showed how great they cared for him, and our dog was in great spirits when we returned. I would definitely recommend to fellow pet parents and re-book if we need care again.”


About: Hi! 😊 I have always loved being around animals, and I have spent most of my life around them. I also look after my family and friends pets when they travel. I am flexible on timing and would love to check in on your cats or pups while you are away any time visit is needed. 🥰 Pets need usual routine and I’d provide everything they need to feel safe and loved, including walks, playtime and rest to reduce stress. I love taking photos of our fun moments, and would gladly share with you! ♥️
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes and with all different needs! I am patient and have the ability to work with senior or higher-need dogs, as well as the energy to play with puppies. I’m currently in graduate school online and will be working as a substitute teacher, so I’ll have lots of time to take care of your pets! I care for pets according to owner instructions as well as their needs. Pets are family, and I work with pets with the knowledge of this. I also treat owner’s homes with respect and leave everything as I found it.
“We recently moved to a new apt and needed a new sitter for our 10 year old kitty. Carol did a great job with her in all ways. Carol kept her routine and spoiled her the way we do. Our cat was relaxed and well taken care of by Carol. Highly recommend her pet services.”
“Took excellent care of my Lab, Lenny, and left my house in perfect condition. Santhie is also so warm and kind, and made sure to ask all questions necessary to learn Lenny’s routines. I would highly recommend her services and look forward to scheduling more drop-ins in the future!”

About: I've had pets growing up, and I was the main one caring for them. I've had dogs, a cat, guinea pigs, bunnies, fish, and a hamster. I love all animals, but mainly a dog lover! I have watched friends and family's pets. I did the basic care needs: walking, feeding, giving water, playing, and showing lots of love and attention. With my current dog, I have had to give her pills, so I also know different ways to give pills to dogs. I also know how to teach basic commands such as sit, stay, paw, and high-five. When I used to live in Texas, I volunteered to take a shelter senior dog for the day. I did basic care needs and even took him walking/running in a field before taking him back. I currently work a full-time job, anywhere from 7am-6pm on weekdays but I am free on weekends. I also don't mind going after work if you need someone to take your fur babies on a walk, do a check-in, or need to be fed/given water! I live with my boyfriend's family so unfortunately, I can't care for pets in my home. I don't mind just going to your house/apartment to care for your fur babies. I can take them for walks, play with them, keep them company, feed them, give them water, or even take them out the house for a little (a drive or even a walk around a store that allows pets).

About: I have helped take care of friends and families dogs/pets for about 5 years now. I have overnight sat for friends and took care of their dogs that required special feeding and medication instructions. I also helped train my own dog with stuff like sit and paw. I am currently working part-time in the hospital as an aide. I will not be working for most of the summer, so I will have plenty of time to check in on dogs or even stay over night at houses to pet sit. I have a fenced in yard and a long, strong lead if needed for dogs that can be escape artists. I also am strong enough to hold bigger dogs that can pull.
About: I have been a pet lover all my life! Because I live in a condo with no yard, my family and I agreed it is not fair to have any pets. As a compromise, we offer to pet sit for our family and friends every chance we get. I have taken care of new born kittens, cats of all ages, small and medium sized dogs as well as blind dogs. I am very comfortable with dogs and truly love them! I love to play, walk and snuggle! As a graduate student I have free time during the day to care for your pets and I live in a pet friendly home for your overnight needs. It would bring me great joy to take care of your pets!
About: Hi! I’m an animal husbandry trainer for seals and sea lions. However, I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, and goats! I can’t wait to meet your furry friend. I can also take care of fish and do water quality and system maintenance. I am available all day and night Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday! I also have availability after 6:00pm Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I work from Thursday-Saturday at an aquarium (7am-4:30). I will make sure that your pet is treated with proper care and attention. If you have a shy animal, I will be happy to be patient, soft voiced, and gentle. If you have a energetic animal I will gladly match their energy!
“As a first time dog owner it was very difficult to leave my new puppy for 24 hours. From the meet/greet prior to booking, I knew Molly genuinely cared about my pup and was going to make sure he was cared for. She updated me throughout my time away, my home was in terrific condition when I returned (better than it was originally actually) and more importantly cared and loved my dog. Thank you so much Molly.”

“Adriana was attentive, communicative, and helpful throughout her visits with our pup. She even left him a sweet Christmas gift. We felt great knowing we had someone trustworthy keeping him safe while we were away. We would definitely use her again in the future.”

“Jodie’s flexibility is unmatched! Recently I had a family situation where I needed to change the schedule last minute and she was so compassionate and accommodating. Having her help during this trying time is such a relief!”

Within my currently visible schedule, I am fully available to assist you and your pets with all needs. I will take my time to allow your pet to adjust to my presence, long sniffs, silent observation, and predictable movements to keep your pet calm!
About: I’ve had cats for over 10 years, and I’ve taken care of a friend’s dog for several months. I’m comfortable caring for small and medium-sized dogs and cats, and I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention and potty breaks. I look forward to meeting your furry friends and providing them a safe, fun, and caring environment! I take care of small and medium dogs in my apartment. Dogs get potty breaks 2–3 times per day, plus daily walks and playtime to keep them happy and healthy. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for your pet. I have experience caring for cats for over 10 years and a friend’s dog for several months. I make sure every pet gets attention, playtime, and plenty of potty breaks.
Wakefield dog parents share their Rover experiences
10 stars if possible. Jamie jumped in to help when I had a last minute emergency. She was great with my animals and communicating. I stopped worrying after Jamie’s first visit and report as it was clear that the animals were in capable and loving hands. Will ask (beg) her to look after my pets in a heartbeat

We can’t say enough good things about Yuzhou! She has been absolutely amazing with our dogs—so caring, patient, and attentive. Our pups are always sooo excited to see her and come home happy and well-exercised after every walk. We also love the detailed updates she sends after each visit—it gives us such peace of mind knowing the boys are so well cared for. Yuzhou truly treats our pups like family, and we feel so lucky to have her!
