“Samantha was fantastic, one of the best dog sitters I have ever worked with. I have a very timid put and she understood the assignment the moment she stepped out of her car and now I have a sitter I can call on when I need to take care of Buxley. So thankful for finding her!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and a proud dog parent to two pups of my own. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and care while they’re with me! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I have two dogs of my own. I have a flexible schedule and availability throughout the week, which allows me to easily accommodate walks, drop-ins, and different feeding or care schedules. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and individual needs. I provide reliable, personalized care right in your pet’s own home, where they feel most comfortable. I’ll take care of feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications as needed, and lots of attention and affection. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, respect your home, clean up after them, and provide updates while you’re away.

About: I watch for your pets as if they are my own! From playtime & walks to cuddles & nighttime routines your pet will always make them feel right at home. Tell me what their favorite treats are! I love to bring along snacks. I adore building a relationship with my clients & getting to know you and most importantly, your pet! I have experience watching cats & dogs of all ages, as well as pets such as fish, turtles, or bunnies! I work part time and the max I’ll be gone in a work day no more than 5-7 hours! If I don’t work I spend most of the day with your babies, possibly stopping by home or school for basic needs and class/clubs. I will always keep you updated in case of emergencies and/or timing issues. At the moment I cannot care for large size dogs as my schedule does not allow for me to give them the care they need. When I care for your pets in-home, I take it very seriously. Your house, your rules. I adore lists, as I love seeing your personal household & pet preferences. I always clean after myself before leaving.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life, with dogs being a big part of that experience. I’ve owned dogs of my own for years, volunteered with local animal shelters, and fostered dogs, puppies, and kittens with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve also cared for my own senior dogs and reactive dogs through different medical needs, which taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and paying close attention to changes in behavior or routine. I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies, kittens and energetic young dogs to seniors who need a slower pace and extra care. I take the time to understand each as an individual and provide a balance of exercise, enrichment, structure, affection, and plenty of downtime. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I’m available for regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and enrichment, and I can adjust to each pet’s usual routine as much as possible. I’m also able to accommodate different schedules and will communicate with you about your pet’s routine before their stay so they can feel comfortable and settled in my home! My priority is providing a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. Before a stay, I like to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, triggers, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medical or behavioral considerations. For boarding and daycare, I use gradual introductions and closely supervise interactions with my own dogs. I’m also happy to provide separate spaces, feeding areas, and downtime when needed. Over the years, I’ve fostered dogs, puppies, kittens, and cats through local animal shelters, including pets with medical and behavioral needs. This experience has taught me to be patient, observant, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs and comfort level. I also prefer a meet & greet for new boarding and daycare clients so we can make sure everyone is comfortable and that my home is a good fit for your pet.

I love watching dogs and cats and just chilling and sending time with them. I know just about all the ins and out when it comes to pet sitting because I have had 3 dogs in my care.

I and usually available during the whole evening I live in a pet friendly neighborhood so I can walk dogs around often. I also have a lot of space in my apartment so they can roll around and lounge as they please

“Hannah is absolutely awesome! I booked her for a week to care for King, and she was incredibly timely, engaging, and focused on his needs every single day. She provided detailed notes after each visit, sent wonderful photos during their walks, and even left a sweet, handwritten thank-you note at the end of the booking. To top it off, when another walker had a last-minute transportation emergency this morning, I contacted Hannah, and she went completely out of her way to come out and help us on short notice. She is always responsive, highly professional, and truly cares about King. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“Denisa was extremely helpful, understanding, and loving 🥰. She went above and beyond to ensure I was receiving text messages during my trip where I didn’t have access to Wi-Fi. I had a very relaxing vacation time knowing my furry child was in great hands! She also used her language skills to communicate with my mom, who doesn’t speak English, and maintained open communication regarding schedule changes and other challenges we faced. My child is one of those stubborn ones, however, she did what a good pet sitter would do, but she added love ❤️, fun and joy to Polito’s potty time. Every picture and video she shared, showed a super excited and happy child! I highly recommend her! 🥰🐶💕🐾”

I have open availability so my focus can be on your fur babies I keep plenty of toys and litter boxes around the home. I keep evening tidy and clean for my animals.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up with at least two dogs in our home at all times, and as I got older, caring for them became an important responsibility—from walks and feeding to making sure they got plenty of love, attention, and playtime. For the past five years, I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and other families. I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your dog needs a long walk to burn off some energy, a little extra playtime, or simply some companionship, I’m happy to help! I recently graduated from the University of Missouri, where I was a Division I gymnast. Being a student-athlete taught me to be dependable, organized, attentive to routines, and responsible. These qualities I bring to every pet I care for. I also love staying active, so spending time outdoors with an energetic pup is right up my alley! Most importantly, I know that your pet is family. I want every dog I care for to feel like they’re getting the same patience, attention, and love I would want for my own pets. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pup and become someone you can trust to take great care of them! I am currently working part time and have lots of free time to play and walk your pups! Because of this, I would plan my day around when they would need to be walked, fed, and played with! With having three friendly and energetic Labs at home, I am used to lots of play time and long walks. I am great at following directions and I feel confident that I can help provide a safe and loving environment for your amazing pups!

About: Since I was born, I have been constantly around dogs and cats. I started dog-sitting around the age of 10 and continued building wonderful connections with the pets of family, friends, and neighbors throughout college. During my military training and college years, I learned how hard it can be to be away from your beloved pet. Additionally, I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furr baby. I would be honored to provide your pet with the same love, attention, and companionship I give my own dog. While giving you peace of mind and the freedom to enjoy your time away without worrying. 🐾❤️ I’m currently waiting to begin further military training. So I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time. I usually wake up early because I go to the gym. I believe every pet and owner has their own routine. I’m happy to accommodate individual needs. I can provide regular walks, fresh water, and on-time feeding to ensure pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can play and enjoy some outdoor time (if preferred). I also know how reassuring it is to receive updates, so I’m happy to send pictures and keep you updated whenever I’m with your furry family member!

About: I'm a former emergency veterinary technician from the University of Florida who loves all animals, but especially dogs! I graduated UF with a degree in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation but did Animal Sciences for 4 years before switching. I'm good with dogs of all sizes, am firm but still a good playmate, and am comfortable working with dogs both healthy and special needs (dog needs to take a pill? I've got you covered!) If an emergency situation comes up, you can count on me to keep your dog safe. I have a dog of my own who keeps me very active so you won't have to worry about your pooch out running me! Have other pets? No problem! I've worked with all animals, cats, birds (have my own!), reptiles, fish, rodents, you name it! My schedule is flexible so long as I am given time beforehand to coordinate! I am currently in between jobs and am very available, with a reliable car for transportation. I always prefer to meet my clients and their pets beforehand that way I can get a good understanding of what is expected and what I should anticipate. I cannot board animals at my home but am more than happy to come to yours!

Shana was a pure delight! Shana walked Brooklyn for me while I was out of town - sometimes once a day and others twice a day. Brooklyn is slow to warm up to new people but she fell in love with Shana nearly immediately because of Shana's gentle and reassuringly manner. Shana is my new favorite Rover sitter for Brooklyn.

I had the pleasure of having Lilly, walk my Dog Simon 3-4xs a week for 2 months. She was always punctual on timing and if she was ever running behind she would make sure to give a notice. Most importantly I enjoyed seeing Simòn happy upon her arrival, tail wagging through my Furbo Dog camera, she always greeted him with scratches and made sure to give him a treat before leaving. I appreciated the photos during the walks around the neighborhood or if Simòn was being lazy instead of ending the walk she would sit outside with him while he sun bathed giving him scratches. Lilly thank you so much for helping me out during this time!

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
