“We found Jessica P. when we were in town visiting family and needed to board our pup for the day. Jessica was great — very communicative and easy to work with! She sent plenty of pics to show us that our dog was relaxed and engaged and having a good visit. We would not hesitate to leave our pup with Jessica again for daycare.”

“It’s our first time with this application and Bhavani was kind enough to guide me through the process … Romeo first time with his sitter was awesome 🫶🥰 he was happy and exited from the moment he went inside her house and made a new friend and happy to leave when the care was over. Bhavani was very informative, detailed , and was almost in communication with me through the day with videos and pictures updates … very nice and spacious backyard for Romeo to run around 😊 followed instructions with food and potty accordingly.. I will definitely choose her over and over again trusting her with our family dog … thank you Bhavani 🫶 for making Romeo stay an awesome and trusted stay.”

“Jessica was great! I had a last min booking with her and she was super flexible with it all. She took great care of my dog and took her on many walks. She sent many photos of my dog playing with her dog and they were the best of friends. Thanks for caring for my pup! Looking forward to the next rebook!”

“Armani had a great time during his sit as he came back energetic and super playful! They also provided constant updates which I absolutely loved. They definitely took care of my puppy, so I highly recommend!”

“Megan & Nick were absolutely stellar dog sitters. They answered all my questions and accommodated a rushed request for both the booking and a meet and greet. They were extremely communicative throughout the whole process and put a new dog dad at ease. I would remiss to leave out the lovable Bubba, who was a most gracious host, sharing his toys and his space. He and Rigby were fast friends. The whole family was lovely, clearly dog lovers. Looking forward to booking with them again soon!”

“Jing is a great person to trust your precious pup with. We have a toy 8lb dog and have always been a little anxious about his safety and care, but Jing made our dog and us feel safe. She regularly posts updates and your dog is in good hands with her.”

“We couldn’t be more grateful for Mahita’s exceptional care for our puppy, Szofi! From the start, she was incredibly thoughtful, taking the time to understand Szofi’s routine and needs. Her patience with our playful little one was evident, and Szofi absolutely adored her and her family. What truly set her apart were the constant updates she sent us, including photos and little notes that brought such peace of mind. It was so comforting to see Szofi happy and well-cared-for while we were working. We can tell that she genuinely loves dogs and what she does, and it makes all the difference. Thank you, Mahita, for treating Szofi like family!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 9. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play and bathe their dog, always knowing I’d treat them like my own. I make sure every pup gets a safe, active walks, fun, playtime and personalized care from medication to mealtime quirks. I pay close attention to behavior changes and follow routines closely to keep dogs happy, healthy and stress-free. My goal? To give every dog the care they truly deserve. I work part-time, but I’m completely available during the week for walks, playtime, and quality care. On weekends, I’m available after 2 PM for afternoon visits. I provide personalized, attentive care whether I’m in my home or the client’s. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s routine closely, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I keep the environment calm, clean, and familiar to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I pay close attention to behavior and make sure they get enough exercise, love, and care. My goal is to make it feel like their family never left.

About: I grew up with a German Shepherd and Siberian Husky. I now have two dogs that I adore. My babies are apart of the family. I have experience with small, medium and large breeds. I pay a lot of attention to dogs body language which allows to see when their uncomfortable or want something I work remotely, full-time. this allows me to walk my girls four times a day and play with them throughout the day as well. this also allows me to give them cuddles throughout the day I have a fenced backyard that your loving pet will be able to run around and and have all the fun. In addition, they will be walked four times a day. I have a dog room that has a Furbo (Camera) which allows me to monitor the pups while I run errands. It also loves me to throw them treats!

“Margarita was absolutely amazing! She took great care of my pup, Ari, who has separation anxiety. She was so thoughtful and immediately took Ari on a walk when I dropped him off so he'd get familiar with her before she brought him into a foreign home and introduced him to her dog. She took him on several walks, and he was so happy and relaxed when he came back. Margarita is so sweet, responsive, and flexible. I would definitely trust Margarita again to look after Ari.”

About: I've been caring for small pets such as, Hamsters, Guinea-pigs and Fish (from goldfish, etc. to Oscars,etc.) from a very young age. Therein, for example, when I was still a little girl, my friend and neighbor could no longer care for their beloved, hamster, Andy; who did they think of... me ! So, Andy, the hamster was adopted and added to the fold. Next, Cats and Dogs. When my neighbor found a stray cat had given birth in their shed closet, again, who did they call?! I adopted one of the 3 kittens; adopting their sibling from the same liter soon after the first adoptee, was unable to care for it. I began caring for Angel and Geisha, my first two cats. Last but not least, Dogs... Cream was a white Pittie, whose owner, again, became unable to care for her so she lived with me and my 2 year old daughter at the time, and they loved each other dearly. After, finding Cream a permanent home, I had the honor of caring for other dogs for friends and neighbors even the homeless, from which I cared for Lulu, a pittie, living with her owner on the street. However, she received a healthy diet, vet care and patience, training to reverse some of the habits she developed living on the street. Now, although, I've cared for others such as Bamboo, the Pitbull, that seemed to take care of himself, lol and Karma, who needed a foster during the Covid pandemic; I'm entrusted with the care of my Pittie/German-Sheppard Gran-pet baby, Nasir aka Nas, while my daughter's in college. Nice enough, I still get to switch it up and care for the Cats (and small pets) of various friends and neighbors in my community. With that, I try o create a Pet-care Staycation like atmosphere when boarding or Home care while pet-parents are away and a Family like atmosphere for Fosters. I look forward to meeting your furry friends and four legged family members :) Pet care is not only therapeutic, it fits into my schedule perfectly, since I am a semi-retired administrative professional who suffered an untimely stroke at a young age. However. after an almost miraculous recovery, I'd like to move forward in a direction that nurtures my empathetic personality. Therein, leaving the desk behind, affording me with a more active lifestyle, all year round. As to that, my days generally consist of assisting my daughter with her dog, exercise, personal errands and volunteering a few hours a week. Although, I take pet care jobs occasionally, I'd like to "officially"extend my services to do something I love (I believe I'm good at it.) and rewarding because the pets (my clients) always seem to appreciate it. I have a fenced in yard and super friendly and silly, one year old fur gran-baby that would be happy to show a visiting canine "the ropes", lol. I can also crate and/or crate train your dog(s), when necessary. They will always have access to clean water; be walked consistently and fed on time and kept in a clean an organized space, whether at your home or mine. I make sure to follow pet parents care instructions. I send photos or video of fun moments to give insight as to how your pets are doing and cared for. I play, pet and communicate with each pet in their way to build trust, friendship and joy while their pet parents are away. In addition, I have had some dog training in the recent past and will have more dog training in the near future to help me care for our hairy pals compassionately and efficiently. [NOTE to Drop-in Clients: Please understand, Safety is a concern for Everyone; pet care givers, pet parents and pets. I work on a basis of professional Trust between all parties, including the pet party. All I can offer are my Referrals, my Word as a trusted professional and a background check conducted by Rover. I expect the same appropriate professionalism, trustworthiness and mutual respect from those who accept my Services. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.] I look forward to working with you. ;-)

About: I have loved dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I now have a Pomeranian-Pug mix and an orange Tabby cat. They are so important to me and I love watching them grow and continue to learn. My husband and I try to keep them active and youthful. I am currently a stay-at-home mom so I have a lot of flexibility. I am available during the day to visit your pets in your home. I am also available for boarding in my home. Whether I am watching the animals at my home or yours, I will make sure to closely follow your instructions. You know your pets the best and I respect your pet, your family, and your home. I will treat them how I would want someone to treat my own animals.

About: I’m a passionate dog lover and proud owner of two furry friends: a Shih Tzu and a Chihuahua. With plenty of experience caring for dogs, I understand their needs and love giving them the attention they deserve. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or an energetic play session, I’m here to ensure your pup has a great time. Let’s make their walk a joyful adventure! As a college athlete and basketball player, I have a busy and demanding schedule. Balancing classes, practice, and games requires careful planning, but I make sure to carve out dedicated time for pet care because I genuinely enjoy it. Walking and sitting with dogs provides a refreshing break from my routine, helping me unwind and refocus. I typically schedule pet care around my practices, classes, and study sessions, ensuring I can provide the attention and energy every pet deserves. It’s a rewarding way to manage my time while balancing academics, athletics, and my love for animals. When caring for pets through Rover, I focus on creating a comfortable, safe, and fun environment—whether in my home or at a client’s home. For dog walking, I make sure each walk is tailored to the dog’s needs, energy level, and personality. I choose safe, dog-friendly routes and keep the walks engaging with some playtime and treats (if allowed by the owner). For dog sitting in a client’s home, I maintain their routines as closely as possible, ensuring they feel secure and at ease. I provide companionship, regular feeding, and playtime, and I keep the space clean and orderly. As a college athlete with a busy schedule, I’m great at managing my time, which means pets always get the care and attention they deserve.
