“I can’t express how much relief Stacey provided me while we were away. I have 2 geriatric pets, one of which began not feeling well the day before we left. Stacey followed all instructions to the letter, was intentional with letting me know that they were feeling well and eating well and she provided excellent care. She was willing to feed/walk one last time when we were delayed coming back into town. We will absolutely book her again!”
“Katie was very awesome and so professional. Gave me regular updates and kept my nerves calm (as it was my first time with Rover). Will definitely be using her again!”


“Neysha and her husband Teddy took great care of our fur babies. Lots of pictures and lots of updates while we were away. They got lots of love and attention and we look forward to engaging Neysha again.”

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was a teenager. From 20 year old chihuahuas, nursing day old kittens, and 80lb king German shepherds.. I’ve volunteered at a few animal shelters. Taking care of animals is a passion of mine. My work schedule is 7-4, Monday- Friday and have evenings and weekends free. Over the weekends I am available all day and evening. For week days I can visit your furry baby any time after 4! I have a big fenced in yard and have two loving and playful dogs that enjoy making friends. I have 2 cats that are incredibly friendly but also leave my dogs alone. I have crates available and my neighborhood has sidewalks that are perfect for dog walking.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 14 years old and have experience with a wide variety of pets. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending my time with them. As a pet owner myself, I’ve navigated multiple health challenges with my senior dog, which has made me especially attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, and overall well-being. I’m comfortable administering medications and providing extra care for senior pets or those with special needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or needs a slower pace and extra patience, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. A few things that make my home and care style a great fit. * Comfortable administering medications * Attentive to signs of illness or distress * Reliable transportation * Flexible schedule with plenty of availability * Single-story home that’s easy for pets with mobility limitations * No children in the home * Regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind I currently have an open schedule to accommodate your loved one! No distractions besides caring for my own dog and cat. I can come over multiple times a day for walks, potty breaks, and quality/play time, or do overnights. I have a fenced backyard and a one story home easy to navigate. I have one senior dog who has never met a dog/cat/human he didn’t like, and a cat who is dog friendly and largely keeps to herself. Animals are allowed on the furniture! Safe gated community to walk your pup in if requested. No other adult/child in home. I can also watch at your home. I only ask that my pug can also come. He is crate trained, potty trained, and a very good boy.
“Sarah took such great care of our pups! It means a lot to know you can trust someone to take care of your fur babies while you’re away. Will definitely reach out again for dog sitting when we need it.”

“Not only was she super responsive but she was so loving send sent pictures and updates. She went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations as a first experience with Rover. Thank you so much for loving on our Lily!”

“We had a great experience with Suvanna. She took care of my two large dogs for more than three days. She followed all the instructions and stuck to my dogs’ schedule. Both of them were really happy with her. I would definitely take her help again next time.”
“Patricia was so good with my dogs. You can tell because of how excited they are to see her. She stayed with them most of the day and night. Good person over all. I will use her again.”


About: ❗️If your house has any signs of fleas, do not book with me.❗️I have always grown up with pets in my house hold, i have always token care of them when no one else did and gave them the love they deserve. We are with them their entire lives, while they are with us for only a portion. I will be gentle and patient with them until they gained my trust. I can bathe them and play with them too, i cannot groom though. But i can make them smell all yummy! College student! I do go to college all year, even in the summer! I don’t have an outside job, so the only thing taking me away from your furry family is school! I’m always open and i can always get to your fur baby’s when needed! I have 1 doggy of my own and she has fear aggression towards other people and dogs, i’ve learned to work around her personality and to go forward. I bathe my dog by hand inside my home every 1-2 months (depends on if she gets dirty, she’s got a self-cleaning coat) and she gets fed every night! (she eats at her own pace so i just top off her bowls) She is trained to sit, paw, talk, wait, and lay down! She is my first daughter and my soul dog! I love her to death!!
About: i love dogs and especially my dogs i’ve always cared for them so much they’re my favorite animal and to be able to do this as a side hustle is a big blessing i currently work nights wednesday thursday and friday trying to save up for a new car and for school so i can finish paying off my classes i treat my dog how i would want mine to be treated i take her out every morning as soon as i wake up and make her food while she’s outside and usually take a little time to play with her outside
About: I have loved and cared for all kinds of pets my entire life, and have had both cats and dogs. I currently have three cats! I will love and care for your pets as my own. Pet care is already built into my daily routine, as I take care of my own three cats! I can easily work your pets routine into mine as well. I will love and care for your pets as my own! My household is not only animal friendly, my cats essentially run my household! They will be a part of our family.

“Kimberley did great and Olivia the greyhound seemed quite pleased in the photos. We would definitely recommend her for your pup. The place was immaculate upon our return”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that animals just seem to love me, and I know how to help them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve also cared for a senior dog, so I’m experienced with giving medication and making sure pets get the extra care they need. Taking care of pets fits right into my daily routine because I’m almost always available to care for your fluffy buddies. I’m usually free and flexible especially with having school and work outside of Rover, so your pets will always get the attention they deserve! When I care for pets in my client’s home, they get plenty of love, attention, and cuddles. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, always have fresh water, and get outside for potty breaks after meals. My goal is to keep them happy, comfortable, and cared for just like they would be with you.
