About: Majority of my years with Rover have been in NYC and have had a great reputation with them as well as my clients. I care for my own dogs (frenchie/boston terrier mix and a boston terrier) as if they were my daughters. Well trained and taken care for emotionally and physically. I have always been a dog person and never have found a dog I have not gotten along with. Aside for studying voice acting, I work a part-time job so I am usually available. I keep clients updated at all times, especially with housesitting appointments. I have babysat, walked and cared for many dogs and have always been praised for my patient, loving treatment of them. I will play with them, feed and care for them however needed. If there are any special needs, I am willing to accommodate as well. My time is flexible. I always put work first and my personal schedule works around that. I like to make sure at the very least, the basic needs of pets are taken care of before anything else. I have a fenced yard and a play pen for small dogs. Toys, water bowls if needed, and will give attention and playtime if your dog is an active.

“Sarah was amazing! My dog Charlie seemed to like her very much and she was well taken care of while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond and I will definitely be reaching back out to her to watch Charlie next time we’re out of town again.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 7 years and absolutely love what I do! Over the years, I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds and sizes, cats with all kinds of personalities, and even a few small pets in between. I take pride in giving each animal the same love and attention I give my own. Whether it’s going for a walk, playtime at the park, cuddles on the couch, or making sure they’re fed and comfortable while you’re away, I’m always focused on keeping your pets happy and cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well looked after. I am currently a stay at home partner looking for some work to help out during the day. Animals are my passion and I have all the time in the world to take care of your babies. I myself have cats and a dog and I absolutely love taking care of them i couldn’t think of a better way to spend my time. When caring for pets in someone’s home, I always make it my goal to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, making sure they feel safe and cared for while their family is away. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, taking walks, playing, or simply giving them company and comfort, I focus on creating a calm, happy environment. I understand that pets are family, and I take that responsibility to heart every time I step into someone’s home.

About: I love animals of all species- but dogs hold a special place in my heart! I have been dog-sitting for about 6.5 years now, and have enjoyed every furry visitor I've had. I just enjoy sharing space with them! I currently work from home, so I have the ability to give them all the attention they need and take them along for adventures (with permission). I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby and making an amazing connection with you both! In seemingly stressful or chaotic situations I’m able to maintain my composure. I find that my demeanor makes dogs feel comfortable and relaxed upon meeting them, so in-home check ins will be smoother for your pet and I! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, I look forward to providing excellent care for your beloved furry friend. I currently work from home, which allows a flexible schedule. I love having a dog over so I have more reason to take a walk. I have an open-space studio where they will be hanging out with me during the day. I always reach out to the client for a meet and greet to discuss their pet's behaviors and needs so I can adjust accordingly.

About: You're not looking for a pet sitter. You're looking for a second home for your furchild. I get it — leaving your fur baby behind is the hardest part of any trip. That's why I've built the kind of setup I'd want for my own dog, because my chihuahua lives here too, and he has very high standards. Here's what your fur baby's stay actually looks like: 🛏️ Cage-free, always. Your fur baby sleeps in the bed. On the couch. Wherever they're happiest. Zero kennels, zero crates, zero lonely nights. 🏡 A real home, not a facility. Large fenced backyard with security cameras throughout — so I can watch over your fur baby around the clock. 📸 Daily photos + on-demand updates. Want a mid-afternoon "she's napping in a sunbeam" photo? Done. I send updates before you even think to ask. 🚗 Free pickup and drop-off within 20 miles. One less thing to stress about on travel day. 👩‍⚕️ Small dog specialist. I own a chihuahua and know the medical, dietary, and emotional needs of small breeds inside and out — from temperature sensitivity to feeding schedules to the big personality packed into a tiny body. ⭐ Intimate by design. I only accept 2 guests at a time, so your fur baby always gets personalized attention — never lost in a crowd. ⏰ 24/7 care. I work from home. Your fur baby is never alone. MY PROMISE You'll spend your trip actually relaxing — not refreshing your texts hoping for a sign of life. I'll send you a photo before you even land. SEE IT FOR YOURSELF Not sure yet? Come tour my home before you decide. Meet my chihuahua, see the backyard, and get a real feel for where your fur baby will be staying. I want you walking away with complete confidence — not just hope. Message me to schedule your free home tour today. 🏠 Spots fill up fast around holidays — message me anytime to check availability. No question is too small when it comes to your fur baby. 🐾 I'm home full-time, so caring for your fur baby fits naturally into my day — it's not a side task, it's my lifestyle. I'm with my own chihuahua almost all day, every day, which means any fur baby in my care gets that same level of presence, consistency, and attention around the clock. No rushing home between meetings, no leaving them alone for hours — just a calm, steady routine that keeps your fur baby feeling safe, loved, and right at home. Your fur baby is treated like family from the moment they arrive. There are no cages, no crates, and no isolation — just a warm, welcoming home where they're free to roam, play, and relax just like they would at home. Every fur baby gets my full attention throughout the day. We start with a morning walk, followed by playtime and relaxing in my large fenced backyard. If your fur baby enjoys outings, I can take them to one of two nearby parks — Lenora Park or Alexander Park — for extra exercise and fun. In the evenings, it's wind-down time — cuddles on the couch and a good night's sleep in the bed, never alone in a crate. I follow your fur baby's existing routine as closely as possible — feeding schedules, nap times, medications, and any special needs are all taken seriously and never overlooked. As a chihuahua owner, I'm especially attuned to the needs of small breeds, from temperature sensitivity to portion sizes to reading their mood and body language. Throughout the day I send photo and video updates so you always know how your fur baby is doing — and I'm always available if you want to check in. I only host 2 guests at a time, so your fur baby always gets personalized, one-on-one care — never lost in a crowd.

“Stephanie met with us beforehand, and would stay in touch with us throughout, and anytime I had questions or anything. When she came initially, you could tell she understood how cats can be and wasn’t going to be intrusive toward them. She was considerate of our home, and even left the light on for us on the last visit knowing we’d be home soon. I’d recommend her!”

Carlee W.

“Yasiry was amazing! She responded immediately to my last minute request and came home to meet the dogs. She was always on time and kept me updated with messages and pictures. I’ll definitely use her service again in the future.”

About: I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, from raising my cat since he was four weeks old to looking after large breeds like Mastiffs. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I'm available throughout the week and can easily accommodate feeding, walks, playtime, and other daily care routines. I follow each pet's routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, fresh water, and litter box cleaning. I provide attentive care, affection, and regular pic updates to owners.

About: I've cared for dogs and cats my entire life. I've studied animal cognition, behavior, and training. I've participated in obedience training, agility, and my prior pets were Canine Good Citizen certified. I have worked with both dogs and cats and a variety of breeds including high energy herding breeds. I have a large 1 acre fenced yard that is perfect for running, playing, and getting the ya yas out! I am currently avilable anytime (weekdays, evenings, and weekends) for boarding or doggie daycare at my home or drop-in visits at your home. I have plenty of time to spoil your furbabies! I have a large home and beautiful and secure 1 acre fenced yard in a lovely neighborhood. I currently don't have any pets so those furbabies that don't get a long with others can be the center of attention here!

About: Growing up on a farm I learned to care for animals ranging from big to small. I’ve had dogs in my family since I was around 6 years old, I currently have 3 dogs . I’m currently working from home which leads me to have plenty of time to stop in and take care of your pets whenever you need. Whenever I will be sitting for you , your dogs safety will be my top priority. I’m experienced in dog walking and dog sitting .

“I am so impressed with the loving and professional care that Nora provided to our babies Omar, Barbie & Blaze! Nora took care of them for 8 whole days (the longest I have been away) and I couldn’t be happier! Nora paid great attention to detail, showed loving kindness & always communicated with me! I felt at ease knowing Nora was taking great care of them! Thank you so much Nora!”

About: Caring for dogs has been a huge part of my everyday life. I have three dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like walking, feeding, playtime, and giving dogs the attention and patience they need. I’ve also dog-sat for family members, which has helped me become comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. What sets me apart is how much I truly love dogs — I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means a calm walk, playtime, or just keeping them company. My weekly routine is always the same and includes a lot of availability for me to fit pet sitting/walking into my schedule. I prioritize my time with pets!! When caring for pets in their own homes, I make it a priority to keep their routine and environment as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, respect your space, and make sure your pet feels safe, calm, and well cared for. I take my time during visits, give plenty of attention and affection, and always treat both your home and your pet with care and respect.

“Fantastic time had by the pups, they really enjoyed everything about her visits.”

About: I will love your pet like my own and if you ask my friends they will tell you that they would love to live as one of my dogs. I have had dogs since I was very young and work hard to include them in all aspects of my life. I have also had litters and cared for and found them well suited loving homes. I have been a volunteer with the humane society and Patriot Paws for many years. My goldens are well behaved and love working on commands, so I am happy to continue any training you might want your dog to keep practicing while you are away. Nothing makes me happier than being near dogs, so I guarantee your dog will have my utmost attention. If requesting boarding or daily day care, your dog must be friendly with other dogs. Happy to provide multiple references that I regularly watch their dogs outside of Rover also. I work from home so I am with my dogs 24/7. I spend a lot of time outside playing with them throughout the day and fetch. I have 2 dogs and a huge fenced in yard to keep your dog company. My house sits on 3 acres that is fully fenced in so there is plenty of room for dogs to run. In spring and summer I also have multiple hard plastic small pools they can lounge in.

“Taylor is a true treasure to work with! Our pups warmed up to her quickly. Taylor is great with communication, dependable and shows a natural affinity in working with animals; we are blessed to have her :)”

“Marilyn goes above and beyond. Hands down the best pet sitter we’ve ever had! We will definitely continue using her!”

“Rebekah provided drop in service for my two cats for a week. I couldn’t ask for anything more. She even put the used dishes in the dishwasher. She is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her.”
