“Surendra was so nice to jump in last second when another sitter cancelled on me. Daario looked like he had so much fun in all the photos I received and both him and his wife are great at communication! Would love to rebook anytime :) thanks”

“This was my first time on Rover and my yellow lab Gus had a great time with Rebeca and her family! She provided photo updates and was very friendly. They live on a nice neighborhood and have a great home for dogs to feel at home and play!! Thank you again. We will definitely be booking again with Rebeca”

“Donna was a great care taker of my dog. She had him do fun stuff, took for walks, and gave him at most attention. She kept sending me pictures and kept me posted through out the day. Was very patient even though I was very late. Would highly recommend.”

About: What sets me apart is the patience and care I bring to every pet I look after. I’ve trained playful puppies through their wiggly, curious stages and also cared for sweet senior cats who need a gentler touch. Since I work from home, I can give your pet plenty of attention, love, and supervision throughout the day and make sure they always feel safe, happy, and cared for like family. Pet care is really the heart of my daily routine, it’s what I do full-time and absolutely love! My days start and end with walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions, and I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. Whether it’s an exploratory trip in the morning , mid-day ball chasing games, or winding down with dog-friendly TV shows in the evening, every part of my day includes something fun and furry. In my home, pets have plenty of room to feel comfortable in my spacious townhouse and can play safely in the big fenced yard. They’ll also have a built-in buddy, my friendly 6-year-old French Bulldog who loves company. I make sure visiting pets get lots of playtime, walks, and cuddles, while keeping their routines consistent so they feel right at home.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the combination of genuine love for animals and hands-on experience caring for pets at every stage of life. I’m patient and attentive with puppies, helping reinforce positive habits and keeping their busy minds engaged. I also have experience with senior dogs and understand the importance of gentle exercise, medication reminders, and a slower pace when needed. I pride myself on treating each pet like they’re part of my own family—whether that means extra snuggles, long walks, or simply being a calming presence. I’m reliable, communicative, and make sure you always feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Right now I’m on leave from my full-time job while I recover from wrist surgery, which means I have open availability during the week and weekends. Pet care is the perfect way for me to spend that time—I love being active, getting outside for walks, and giving pets the attention they deserve. Since I’m home and available, I can be flexible with your schedule and make sure your pet gets consistent, loving care whenever you need it. When caring for pets, I always follow their routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. In your home, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, clean litter or potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of love and attention. I take the time to learn your pet’s personality—whether that means playtime, snuggles, or giving them space if they’re more independent. If I’m welcoming your pet into my home, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment with lots of one-on-one attention. I’m big on communication and will send updates and pictures so you know your furry friend is happy and cared for.

“You cannot ask for better care for your dog than the care and attention that Elizabeth and Neil provide. I was so happy to see many photos and videos of Trixie playing, enjoying the backyard, and being very well taken care of. Thank you, Elizabeth and Neil— we appreciate it so much!”

“Jessica was very kind and considerate of Rocky ‘s needs. I absolutely felt so content knowing Rocky was in Jessica‘s care and will feel much at ease when she is watching Rocky for future dates. When Rocky was picked up, he looked like he was relaxed and had a fun time. I would highly recommend Jessica.”

“David and his family are great! David is very responsive and has regularly kept us in the loop with videos and photos. They have taken care of our dog Steve as if he were there own. We have used them twice and will continue to use them.”

“I am so grateful that I found Oana & Oliver. I've had my rescue chihuahua mix Rocko for a just a few months, so this daycare date was the longest he had been away from me. We did a meet and greet the week before and I left assured that Rocko would be well cared for. Oana & Oliver have a beautiful home with a huge fenced in backyard and deck. Rocko had a great time with the other dogs and came home appropriately exhausted. The pictures they sent me are absolutely amazing. I am planning to go away next month and have already booked Rocko's stay with Oana & Oliver!”

“My dog had a wonderful stay with Xiuping and her family. They are so kind and friendly. Very responsive and trustworthy as well. I got many cute pics and felt my dog was given a lot of attention and well cared for. I would definitely rebook next time.”

“Richard and his family warmly embraced my dog into their household. Despite giving my pup to several individuals on Rover before, none showed the same level of care and affection as Richard and his family did. He is also very flexible and is constantly updating about my dog's stay at his place. I definitely recommend Richard and intend to make him my primary choice moving forward.”

About: I am taking care of dogs since I was 13 years old when I got my first dog, I worked with an NGO as I grew to help with rescues. I have been around dogs all my life basically. When I moved countries I decided to expand my family and we got Blu :) (my husky) I treat all fur babies as part of my family, and make sure the pet feels safe and loved. Be ready to get alot of pics and videos of your fur baby when you leave them with me I work from home, its me and my husky while kids and husband are out most of the day :) We go out for walks, we have a small dog park sometimes we go there as well. I take Blu 3 times for her walk as she enjoys it and I get to complete my steps I live in an apartment (1500 Sq Ft) no fenced yard but we have well maintained society where I take them out for walk, we also have a small park for them to run and burn energy. We enjoy a good company !
About: I've grown up on a ranch taking care of all sorts of animals including many dogs and cats! Now I have only one special puppy that I'm training to perform service work and a sassy elderly cat. I use positive reinforcement training to make sure any pups I interact with learn polite behaviors and are rewarded with plenty of love and scritches! I'd love to introduce Cleo to your dog for play time and enrichment so that they will be nice and tired for you when you get home :) I'm currently taking a hiatus from working to pursue hobbies, including training and competing with my dog. I have a very flexible schedule and am willing to work around any changes that might come up. I live in an apartment with a dog park. I have a rambunctious yet docile Bernese Mountain Dog that is a year and a half old that your dog can hang out with while they are here. I also have a crate if needed.

“Our puppy Kédes had the best time! Carol was very accommodating with our schedule. She is very caring, and has a great yard for playing. This shows with how happy the dogs are in her care. Kédes came home a thoroughly exhausted but happy dog! Thanks bunches!”
“Cindy is so attentive to all the dogs that she cares for, there is great outdoor space for them to play, a lovely screened in porch and inside her home by her side to rest. I trust her and her two pups are so good with all doggie guests! So glad I found her, Daisy and Gummy!”

“Thomas took great care of our senior dog, Chewbacca. He sent lots of videos and pictures to reassure us he was doing well. Would definitely recommend him to anyone!”
