Kristy is always calm and welcoming to our somewhat cautious dog. He warms up to her quickly and becomes her best friend. I felt very comfortable having Kristy watch our pets.

Sadie did a great job with Cozmo. He is a big dog that has a lot of energy and is always looking for attention. This was her first time meeting him and she went over and above to create a friendship by playing with him and even taking for a ride for a pup cup. I will be hoping to book Sadie the next time I need a dog sitter!

Jordan was a delightful sitter for our three dogs. She was thoughtful about the information and instructions she needed to provide excellent care. She was a calm and reassuring presence for the dogs and for me. I fully expect to request her assistance in the future

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for many years, and I’ve also helped care for my aunt’s dogs, who she groomed professionally. My patient and gentle nature allows me to connect with dogs of all personalities — from energetic pups to shy or nervous ones. I’m attentive to routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or basic training reinforcement. I follow instructions closely and am happy to help with commands, leash manners, or gentle encouragement for anxious dogs. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own — with kindness, respect, and plenty of love, so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care is an important part of my daily life, and I make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they need. I plan walks, visits, and playtime around your pet’s routine, and I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medication, and enrichment activities. I’m available most days after 3 PM, and all day on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I’m happy to work with your schedule and can adjust for regular visits or last-minute needs whenever possible, ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I provide loving, attentive care in your pet’s own home, following your routines and instructions closely. I offer walks, playtime, enrichment, and medication if needed, making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

Brea did a great watching our three dogs while we were out of town. In addition to that, our furnace had broke, and Brea took on extra duties of keeping our pups warm and the house, too. Now that the dogs know her, we will have again to watch the dogs.

Samantha is amazing. Her communication is excellent and she sent us tons of pictures. This was our first time using Rover so we were a little nervous but Samantha put our minds at ease. She is professional and friendly and came over before she watched our pups to introduce herself to us and our dogs. She was a perfect fit and plan on using Rover and Samantha again!

If we could give more stars, we would! I don't even know where to begin. Dora is a true blessing that walked into our lives. She was readily available at short notice because my boyfriend and I were going to Jamaica and our plans for a dogsitter fell through just about a week before we were scheduled to leave. From the first conversation I had with her, I told her, "for some reason, you are a stranger that I trust with no hesitation". And I meant that! She is such a pure, wholesome soul that brings peace and light into your life and gave my boyfriend and I a true chance to relax without worry because we knew our pup was in good hands. We have a one year old Labrador, and for some of you, you know that is no small feat. But she handled him with grace and patience and stayed at our house to make sure he was comfortable at all times. Our dog is honestly like a child to us, and she took care of him exactly how we would have! We wanted to make sure that she didn't feel as though she was working, but having a mini vacation for herself! When we came home, our house was cleaner than when we left!! And that was NOT her job or priority but she made sure to again display her class and gracious character in every thing she did. Every morning we would receive a text with her plan for the day and an update on how our puppy was doing. She would also send daily pictures and videos throughout the entire trip. For us, those pictures, videos, and updated messages gave us such relief seeing that our home and dog truly were in great hands. I am sure there are a lot of wonderful people on this app, but if you don't chose Dora, you are making a mistake. We hope that from here on out, we have found our permanent dogsitter and friend. If my boyfriend, dog and I all have this abundant love for her now, I couldn't imagine what it would be like if we truly got to know her. Dora deserves the world, take my word for it and trust her, even though she may be a stranger ?

About: Hello, my name is Tosha! As a lifelong animal lover and sitter for 3+ years, I understand your pet is family. From energetic hikes with big dogs to quiet cuddles with shy cats, I ensure they're happy and safe. I'm experienced with meds, complex feeding schedules, and love creating fun, safe adventures for pets, just like I would for my own 3 cats and 2 dogs. Let's chat about giving your furry friend the best care! :) I work a standard 8 am-5 pm job, Monday through Friday. I don't mind staying the night during weekdays. I also do not mind coming before work in the morning to show love and care for your pets, as well as coming over after work for as long as you need. The weekends I'm free 24/7. I view pet care as a privilege that requires both a compassionate heart and a vigilant eye. My approach is rooted in providing a 'home-away-from-home' experience where your pet feels safe, seen, and truly loved. I don’t just offer supervision; I offer companionship. By honoring their unique personality and strictly following their established routines, I ensure they remain happy and stress-free while you are away. Your pet’s safety is my priority, and their happiness is my passion.

Jaylin is absolutely amazing. I can't say enough incredible things about him. He took amazing care of my boy Zeke. Zeke loved every minute with him and is so excited to see him again. I came home to a clean house, and it smelled great! If you're looking for someone to treat your pet like he/she is their own family, Jaylin is the one you want. I will be using him for everything I need in the future.

About: I am a trustworthy and genuine individual who loves animals. With almost 30 years of experience as a pediatric nurse and pet owner, I feel I am qualified to take care of your fur baby and keep your mind at ease while you are away. I have experience in caring for healthy, young pets and those pets that are elderly and need a little extra medical care. I have experience in diabetic animals, those that need medications, help with mobility, and wound care. I currently work from 7 am-3 pm most days but do have 1-2 weeks off throughout the year, mainly around holidays. When I am not watching my boys play hockey, I am cuddling up with my sweet feline, Addison. Please reach out to me and we can discuss any services that your dog or cat may need. I am also good with taking care of multiple pets if needed! I am usually available after 2 pm on most week days. Weekends vary. Please don't hesitate to request me as I have several weeks off at times from my daily work schedule. I am also willing to stay over your house or do drop in visits. I can take care of your dog/cat in your home while you are away. Whether it is just a short visit to walk or feed your dog/cat or overnight, I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own!

Kristy was incredibly kind, communicative, and patient with our two cats and our dog. This was the first time she cared for them, and I didn’t feel nervous at all leaving Bailey and the cats in her care. She kept us updated, paid close attention to their individual needs, and made sure everyone was comfortable and happy. Kristy did an amazing job, and we would absolutely trust her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate sitter.

I have never left my dogs with anyone that is not either related or a dear friend, so I was very hesitant to leave my 2 pups, 1 which is a senior, but Erin calmed my nerves when we 1st met! She was very kind, friendly and my dogs warmed up to her very quickly. She understood my concerns and sent updates. She even changed the sheets so we didn’t have to do that when we got back! Thanks Erin for watching my babies!
