“Howie had a great time with Hannah! She was so attentive to him, texted me photos, kept me updated. She alerted me to something she had noticed, and I knew he was in really good hands! Thanks Hannah!!”


“Roxanne is very reliable and took excellent care of Pua while we were away on vacation. Having her staying in the house gave us peace of mind because it was comforting to Pua, we knew meals and meds were administered as prescribed, and also helpful for us to have someone keeping an eye on our home. We loved receiving photos and video of Pua every day from Roxanne. We could relax, knowing that Pua and Roxanne were bonding and keeping to her normal schedule.”


“Tara is an excellent pet sitter! We’re so happy we trusted her with our dog and cat over 4th of July weekend. She played with them and sent detailed updates. Upon return, our fur babies were happy and well taken care of.”


“Jessica was fabulous with our dog who has some special needs (medication and requires some specific handling). She watched her for 10 days while we were on vacation and was a confident, responsible, communicative dog sitter. We couldn’t hope for anyone better when searching on Rover and feel fortunate that we knew 100% that our dog was in excellent hands while we were away.”



“Marisol is fantastic. Had a trip out of town for a night & she sent pictures of my two dogs keeping me in the loop with communication. Have a vacation coming up in the future and I’m utilizing her services again. Highly recommend.”


“Anna was great! She was attentive to Mayas needs and took great care of her. Anna also sent us pictures of their time together and Maya looked so happy in all of them.”


“Hannah watched our dog while we were away and did a great job communicating with us and sending updates while we were away. Our pup seemed very well cared for and Hannah kept the house just as we'd left it. We would definitely work with Hannah again in the future.”


“Jourdan was wonderful with our 2 dogs. They are both large breeds and the German Shepherd is especially energetic but Jourdan was up to the task. She played with, took care of, and stayed overnight with them and kept the house looking just as good as we left it. She sent pics of our furbabies which helped since we missed them so much. We appreciate her and definitely recommend!!!”


About: I recently had to say goodbye to my own dog, who was my daily walking buddy and constant sidekick. Getting back to dog care is a way for me to stay connected to that part of my life. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and know how important it is to find someone you trust when you’re away. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from high-energy pups to older dogs who need a gentler pace. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medications, basic training reinforcement, or just giving your dog the attention they need while you’re out. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every dog like they’re my own. Whether it’s regular walks, check-ins, or some extra company for your pup while you’re gone, I’ve got it covered. I’m currently working part time from home as a consultant. So my schedule is very flexible. I can be available throughout the day as needed. I have a fenced yard and plenty of space for your pup to roam. I have a reliable car and am available to bring dogs to my house if needed.

About: As an animal lover, I truly feel that being around animals is my happiest place. For the past six years, I've cared for three German Shepherds and a cat-both during the day and overnight. Not only did I enjoy it, but I genuinely craved the relationship. I understand how hard it can be to trust someone-not just with your beloved animals, but also with your home. That's why I take pride in being reliable, respectful, and attentive. I hope to meet you soon. 1. Morning Walks & Feeding: I start my day early, so morning walks and feedings are easy to fit into my routine. I enjoy getting fresh air and movement first thing, and pet care fits perfectly into that rhythm. 2. Midday Check-ins or Playtime: I often work from home or have a flexible midday schedule, so I can do potty breaks, walks, or play sessions during lunch hours. These breaks actually energize me and give structure to my day. 3. Evening Wind-down: Evening walks, dinner, and some cuddle time are a nice way to unwind from the day. I usually reserve evenings for low-stress activities, and spending time with pets is relaxing and fulfilling. 4. Sleepover Flexibility: I'm available for overnight stays when needed and plan ahead to ensure I'm fully present for the pets in my care. Routine and Comfort I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—feeding, walks, potty breaks, and playtime—so they feel safe and secure. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, preferences, and energy level, adjusting my approach to meet their needs. 🍽️ Feeding and Hydration I prepare meals according to the client’s instructions and make sure fresh water is always available. I double-check feeding schedules and portion sizes to ensure consistency. 🧼 Cleanliness and Hygiene I clean up after the pets—litter boxes, food bowls, toys, and accidents if they happen—so the home stays tidy. I wipe paws if needed after walks and make sure pets are comfortable and clean. 🎾 Exercise and Enrichment I play with dogs or cats to keep them active and engaged—walks, toys, fetch, laser pointers, or cuddles depending on what they love. If the pet is older or has health needs, I provide gentle interaction and quiet companionship. 🩺 Health and Safety I monitor for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health, and I contact the owner immediately if anything seems off. I’m comfortable administering medication if needed (oral, topical, or injection, depending on my experience and your instructions). 📝 Communication and Updates I send daily updates with photos or videos so clients can feel at ease while they’re away. I’m responsive and available for check-ins or questions during the sit. 🛋️ Respect for the Home I treat the home with the same care and respect I would want in mine—tidy, secure, and peaceful. I follow house rules (lights, trash, alarms, etc.) and always leave the home in great shape.


“Kathy was an exceptional dog sitter for our baby! She was great with him, sent updates and pics daily, left our home immaculate, and really seemed to enjoy spending the time with Biggie. We will surely be requesting her help in the future!”


“Angela is a wonderful pet sitter who took excellent care of our dogs while we were away over the July 4th holiday. She is very warm and friendly and a wonderful communicator. Angela kept the house neat and stayed in communication with us on a regular basis, eliminating the stress of leaving the dogs and house behind. When we came home after our time away, our dogs were relaxed and happy. We are looking forward to using her again.”


About: We’re a pet-loving couple who both work from home, so your dog will get lots of attention and company throughout the day. We typically care for small to medium-sized dogs who are a great fit for a calm, clean home. Since we don’t have pets of our own, your dog will have our full focus and care. We have experience caring for puppies as young as 6 months. We take dogs on regular walks in our neighborhood and have house sat for multiple nights. We’ve even brought a friend’s dog along on a road trip to Maine while their owner traveled abroad! We take one dog (or household) at a time, follow your pet’s routine closely, and provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident your furry friend is happy and well cared for. Since my partner and I both work from home, pet care fits well into our daily routine. While we do have meetings throughout the day, we have a flexible schedule and can plan around specific drop-in times, walks, or check-ins to fit your pet’s needs. Because we don’t have other pets, your furry friend will get plenty of attention and care during our available times. We love making sure pets feel comfortable and happy while you’re away, and we’re happy to communicate and coordinate to keep things running smoothly. When your pet stays with us, they’ll enjoy a calm, clean, and safe environment with lots of love and attention. We have a large fenced yard perfect for playtime and potty breaks. We follow your pet’s daily routine closely — including feeding, walks, play, and rest — to keep them comfortable and happy. Since we don’t have other pets, your dog or cat will get our full focus. We also provide regular updates with photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. During drop-in visits or house sitting, I treat your home and pet with the utmost respect. I follow your instructions for feeding, play, and any special needs. I’ll refresh water and food bowls, provide companionship and playtime, and make sure your pet is safe and comfortable. I also keep your home secure and tidy, and provide updates so you feel connected while you’re away.

Julia E.
“If there was a person on this planet that I would entrust my dogs with more than myself and my husband, it would be Julia! She has had and been around dogs her whole life, her parents continuously care for dogs, including older dogs that they know they won't have much time with. This just goes to show how much Julia was raised caring for animals. She is the best at playing, snuggling and caring for animals. She takes them on walks/runs, plays with them in the yard, and makes sure they have a safe place to rest their tired head, even if it is on her white couch pillows! I would highly recommend her caring for dogs and any other animal!”
