3. Julia H.
About: I have a lot of exposure to taking care of dogs. I've been around and taken care of animals since a very young age. It's one of my passions, aside from taking care of people at my first job! I work Mon-Fri 8am to 5pm. However weekends I am the most free and have a availability for many drop-ins, walks, and any pet care you need. I follow all instructions to the T, am not afraid to ask questions if I need to, and I will make sure the FurBabies stay safe and cared for at all times.


4. Miranda G.

“Miranda took care of our pups like they were her own, she is our number one go to from here on out for a pet sitter. She sent us updates along with pictures and videos of our three dogs. We are very impressed with her service. Thank you again, Miranda!”


5. Camille T.

“Camille was (is) great with my Nina baby. My Nina did not miss out on any love and attention while I was away. Thank you so much for loving and caring for my girl while I was away. Also, she is walking beautifully on her leash. We look forward to seeing you soon.”


6. Reagan B.
About: I’ve had animals in my home since I was born, so I’ve gotten to learn a lot about taking care of them! Over the years friends and family have allowed me to take care of their fur babies and have never been disappointed. I don’t mind giving baths, and I will do most everything else you need me to do! I’m currently working remotely, so I am available to play, walk, and feed your pups at anytime you may need me! I can board your pups anytime after 12pm! I have a fenced in yard with a COVERED pool that dogs and people can walk on! I also have three other small dogs to keep your animal company during their time here! If needed, I can put your pups in a crate, take them on long walks/runs, and anything else. I can also travel to your pups home if needed!


7. Stacy M.

“Stacy watch 4 of my dogs and2 cats and was wonderful. She sent plenty of pictures to update me and let me know every time she fed them. Two of the dogs that she took care of while we were out of town, are rescues, and still working on being rehomed, and she did wonderful with them. 10/10 recommend her.”


8. Charity G.
“Charity took amazing care of my cats while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t have felt more at ease. She went above and beyond, not only providing updates but also sending frequent photos that reassured me everything was going great. She even took the initiative to do more than I had asked, showing just how much she cares. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful pet care!”


9. Jordyn S.

“This was my first time booking pet sitting through Rover with my dog and Jordyn made it so easy! She was great at communicating exactly when she could get to him, sent me multiple pictures and updates everyday, and I never doubted he was being well taken care of. She stayed at my apartment and left the place exactly as when she got there. My typically very nervous/shy dog warmed up to her very quickly and didn’t even need the anxiety meds he often gets when I’m away. I would absolutely book with her again!”


10. Ava M.
“I have used Ava as a dog walker for my 2 Aussies. She always takes great care and respect for my special fur babies. She also goes beyond just walking and playing with them in my back yard and brushing and trimmimg them after asking my aproval. She's a true animal lover and dedicated to their safety and well being. Not to mention how crazy excited they are to see her or here her name!! I highly reccommed her! Mary R in Rose hill ks.”

“Lucy is very good with dogs of all sizes and various breeds. She is a very responsible person and will take good care of your pet.”


13. Stacie N.
About: Hi, I'm Stacie! I’ve had dogs off and on for most of my life. We are a dog-loving family (mom, dad, and three teens) and currently have one little guy named Smalls and one slightly bigger guy named Max. I would love to help out with your dog, whether it’s a long walk around the neighborhood, a check-in and playtime, or giving him/her a comfortable place to call home for a few nights. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. When I am away from home it’s usually for no more than a few hours, and usually two or three of us are at the house most of the time (my husband also works from home...and we have two daughters doing virtual school and college classes). If you choose the daycare option, this includes up to 9 hours of care. Please contact me if you need more or have a schedule question. Boarding overnight includes 24 hours of care. I have a large open fenced yard to play with your dog, as well as a nice neighborhood for long walks. I do prefer for dogs to be crate-trained for their safety if I need to leave the house and no one is currently home. My little dog can be slightly anxious about new friends at first but usually warms up quickly since I've been doing this for a while now! Also, we do have several different areas in the house if we needed to separate dogs for any reason. Safety is our number one priority. Your dog will have someone around to give him/her lots of attention and care. Our goal is to meet the needs of your dog to assure they are safe, comfortable, and having fun during their stay!


14. LeAnn G.
About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 15 years. I have had my own dog for 5 1/2 years, and have regularly taken care of animals for friends over the past two years. I have very flexible availability currently. I am mostly looking for drop-in visits during the day, but I am open to almost anytime during the week. Limited weekend availability. I only enter parts of your home that are necessary to take care of your animal. I can crate your animal if needed. I pick up after an animal as soon as it goes to the bathroom or makes a mess.




15. Angela A.

“I have used Angela twice for 1-2 weeks when I was out of the country. She does a wonderful job with both my dogs, one puppy, and one very old dog. When I used to the second time, they seemed extremely glad to see her She even watered my plants! I highly recommend.”


16. Shannon B.
“Shannon has been a fabulous pet sitter for our family. She is timely and reliable. She has watched our dogs, cat, and has also cared for our chickens. She sends photo updates daily and responds quickly. Our pets are more relaxed staying home and having Shannon care for them, versus when we used to use a kennel. She will take our energetic one on walks and even a ride to Starbucks! She locks up our home carefully and brings in our mail as a bonus. Definitely recommend her as a pet sitter!”


17. Kayleigh D.
“Kayleigh dog sat for our two goldendoodles for a week while we were out of town. She also watched our son’s two dogs. In both situations she went above and beyond. She played with them, loved on them, fed and watered them according to what they were used to. She proved herself to be completely dependable and trustworthy and I highly recommend her with no hesitation to anyone needing similar services.”


18. Ruby C.
“Ruby is an exceptional care giver. We have 3 dogs and 3 cats and she takes very good care of them, walking the dogs when needed. She makes sure they've had their vaccines and makes sure they are overall in good health.”


19. Justin K.
About: I grew up on a farm in Kansas, have a degree in Biology and have been around animals my entire life. Anyone who knows me, will attest that I pay lots of attention to their pets. I have been asked to watch houses and pets for years by family and friends who don't trust anyone else. I have kept dogs, cats, sheep, cows, ducks, fish, reptiles, spiders, insects, birds and lizards as pets. I normally work a 9-5 schedule Monday through Friday and live alone in Rose Hill, KS. Most evenings I go for a walk when it cools down because I love being outdoors. On my walks, I usually end up petting several neighborhood dogs and cats that eagerly await my attention. In general, I try to observe and match the energy level and interests of a particular pet. My day job involves going into lots of homes with pets. I get plenty of practice meeting new pets and needing to win them over fast.


20. Carter S.
About: I have worked at an animal clinic since I was 10, and I love house sitting and caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. I’m currently part time at an animal hospital and do music ministry on the side and so I could take care of animals pretty often I don’t plan on keeping any dogs at my place but I do have a Doberman named Poseidon who is so full of crazy energy
