“Sawyer was such a big help with my dog, we booked her super last minute so we were very grateful she was able to fit us in her schedule. My do is very anxious and fearful, but Sawyer did an awesome job checking in on her and making her feel comfortable. Would book again in a heartbeat!”

“Laura kept my cat fed and entertained while I was hiking in the mountains, and out of range. I came home to a happy purring cat an didn't get the usual cold shoulder that I get when I've been away. Communication was great and reassuring to pick up in the few spots where I could find a signal.”

About: ive had a couple of dog growing up in my childhood a sweet old black lab and a super crazy dingo.. in my free time after school and during summer i used to walk them, no amount of walking could satisfy my dingo.. id have her pull my bike to get all her energy out since we didnt have any closed in areas she could run off in.. ( i dont do this anymore! i realize its not very safe! she absolutely loved it for sure though) i love pups big and small old and energetic theyre all very unique and id love some new friends to get me out of the house. id ask you beforehand of course if youd be okay with them swimming, theres a pond i can bring them to after walking to cool off at. our backyard is fenced! i have two cats, so id like to know how your dog reacts around small creatures, if they cant be in contact i can always but them into a room while the dog is over. most likely theyd be outside! lots of shade and id keep em well hydrated and happy :3 i currently have been on a job hunt since what feels like forever, my schedule is very. very open.. since i dont have a car, drop off would be ideal, if your close enough to walk to i can do that too! weekends are the only time id be able to pick up your pooch my cats get their waters filled and cleaned almost daily, lots of love of course and are very spoiled. i dont have any dogs at the moment, so of course id love to chat about what youd expect and need for your lovely pup! im good with communication and friendly, special needs id be extra attentive to. im very good at remembering small things, though id still write em down incase!

About: Hi! I'm Nicole. I'm a software developer & animal lover. I've been around dogs since I was little and have always wanted to adopt one. Caring for dogs with busy owners is a great compromise!

They will also love that I have private outdoor space for playtime, anytime, and am right next to central park so there's alot of ground for your furry friend to explore! I truely care about your pets well being so I am consistent with feeding time and will always make sure your furry friend is comfortable, whether its brushing her or refilling her water bowl.

“Nadine did an amazing job with our cat. Lots of playtime and pets when she stopped by for an evening drop-in. She kindly sent videos and pictures too! We hope to use Nadine again in the future!”


About: I’ve had pets since I was about 4 years old, and am experienced with caring for cats and dogs. Any needs they have, I will take care of them all - from simple company when you're at work, to walks, giving meds and overnight stays! I have experience training puppies too, from potty training to the classic "stay", "sit", "come", "leave" etc. commands. I have a large dog myself so size of your pet is no issue. Anything you're unsure about, shoot me a message! I work full time at a school but am free weekdays after 2pm until around 10pm. On weekends I am free from Friday afternoon until Monday morning so I can do overnight stays too if needed. Depending on the care required, I will feed pets, give them meds, take them outside, play games/fetch/etc., brush them, empty litter boxes and so on. I have had several cats and dogs of my own and cared for many more, so I am comfortable with adjusting to their different personality types.
About: I've taken care of big dogs, small dogs, in between dogs. I've taken care of young kitties, mature kitties, and elder kitties. They all were adored by me. I currently work remotely, so I have plenty of time to be present for the needs of those I'm caring for. Working this way allows for a more spacious and flexible day and week. I am easily adaptable and can work within the needs of the homes I visit. Every home and every care situation is unique and requires fluidity.

About: I've lived with and cared for dogs for many years of my adult life. I've regularly taken my friends and housemates dogs for runs, hikes, and even watched them for weekends at a time. I enjoy the company of dogs and have a natural affinity for them. I have flexible availability due to working part time from home. I live with my partner in a house that we have all to ourselves, close to many fun hiking and nature spots for dogs to enjoy! Currently working part time and hoping to fill the rest of my time caring for your pets! I have rejoined rover recently to prioritize pet care at this time :) I have a safe and cozy home environment, and am very respectful while in others homes, always hoping to leave it a little better than I found. Either that be a little tidier, a kind note, or a snack, for either humans or pets!
“Trista was wonderful! She sent great pictures of all the pets. They all look so happy and well cared for. Great communication and followed all instructions. You can tell she really cares for your pets. We would highly recommend! 😊”


About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. My parents also run a dog sitting business on cape cod and I help out there when I can! I am also fully insured! I’m a current second grade teacher, so I’m completely free on the weekends and the summer months, as well as school vacations to take care of your furry friends! I will love your dog like my own! I’m a diligent, reliable and clean person that will leave your home and dog happier than I found it. I am also fully insured!
“This is the second time that I used Amad to care for my cats, he has been great, will stay and play with them, easy to reach and will quickly respond . Overall we highly recommended .”
About: The family for my last petsit said this: "[Our dog] had nothing but wonderful things to say about you, she was very happy when we got home, that means she didn't feel upset at all. Yay!!! Thank you again!! " I've cared for households with multiple pets, including cats, dogs, multiple cats, multiple dogs, and a combination of the above. I've often had people reach back out to me to sit for them again. I love to follow your instructions as closely as possible to help out your animals with the stress of owner absence. I find it important to take time to play with and sit with animals. I'm familiar with giving pets medication, whether through pill pockets, food, or other methods. If your kitties are particular about litter cleaning, I am happy to provide that more frequently as well. I work with energy and empathy in my other jobs, so I am able to bring a calm presence for animals and pay attention to their energy when caring for them. I value consent-based interaction, so I allow animals to warm up to me before petting them. I have flexible work, so I can arrange to stay with your pets or drop in at your convenience. One of my jobs works well with being at home, so I can stay put. I tend to lock doors, being familiar with city living. Integrity and trust are paramount to me, so you can trust that I will treat your home well and honor any areas you don't want me to be in. I know it's a lot to trust a stranger in your home while you are away -- I am happy to provide references and other information to make you feel safe. You know your pet best, so I pay attention to how you make sure your pets stay inside to keep it that way. I am always happy to text updates and pictures :)
About: I’ve always took a liking to animals and always had postive bonds with them. Over the years of growing up my grandfather owned several big dogs and cats. While others would shy away, not me I always helped out and didn’t mind watching them. I currently run an online business which has allowed me to have so much time for my daily clients. Due to my freedom I’m able to provide walks as often as every two hours or less for my puppies. I also get to spend my days cuddled up with my temporary babies. Caring for any pet at my home or others will be very similar I will need to know any notes and any restrictions for me and the dog. As I would give them my complete attention so that it’s a little vacation for them as well as subtracting feeling neglected.

Laura is fabulous ! She came to the house to visit, play and feed Oliver when we had to be away for the day. She even washed his bowl ❤️. You can certainly tell she loves animals, she is professional and is personable. Communication between us was flawless and I knew when she arrived, left and even had videos and photos from her visit. I cannot say enough good things about her… we will definitely be using her again and again 👍👍
