“Katelyn walks my dog weekly and also stayed overnight last minute. My dog is a bit needy and Katelyn responds so patiently to her! She sends pictures during her visit and is so kind. Leave your pets with her if you’re usually nervous about leaving them with other people like I am!!”


“Mandy has been great! Even our skittish cat and anxious dog took to her quite quickly. She is very accommodating and understanding with schedule changes. She’s highly communicative and very attentive to any details. Her experience with challenging animals is reassuring as well. We will for sure hire Mandy again!”


“***** I recently had the pleasure of having Parker step in as a substitute dog sitter, and I must say I am absolutely delighted with her service. While my regular dog sitter was unavailable, Parker seamlessly filled the role and provided exceptional care for my furry friend. From the very beginning, Parker exhibited a high level of professionalism and a true passion for dogs. Her friendly and accommodating demeanor immediately put me at ease, and I felt confident in entrusting my beloved pet to her care. Throughout her time with my dog, Parker provided regular check-ins, complete with adorable pictures and updates. It was evident that she not only cared for my dog's physical well-being but also their emotional happiness. Furthermore, Parker's punctuality and reliability were impeccable. She consistently arrived at the scheduled times and made sure that my dog's feeding and playtime adhered to our usual routine. In summary, Parker, as a substitute dog sitter on Rover, went above and beyond my expectations. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals were truly impressive. My dog not only received excellent care but also clearly enjoyed her time with Parker. I wholeheartedly recommend Parker to anyone in need of a responsible and loving dog sitter. I am grateful for her outstanding service and will undoubtedly reach out to her again in the future.”


About: I grew up on a farm and always had multiple animals my whole life and now that I live on my own nothing has changed and I still love them! I only work a couple days a week and they aren’t long hours so I am available for any scheduling you can throw at me! I can let your animal out in a fenced back yard or I can leash them and walk them so they can do their business. Or if they just need some exercise I can do longer walks, if they just need someone to hang out & feed them i’m available also. Any requests don’t be afraid to ask!


“Susan has been providing daily drop-in visits since 1/2019. She keeps my 75lb pit/lab active with outdoor play. Susan is loving, loyal & patient. The pics provided with the Rover Card are awesome! I'm thankful to have found Susan.”


About: I have had a dog all my life. Growing up we had Boxers. In my adult married life we have had Labrador Retrievers . These dogs have not been dogs but fur kids. I have taken them to obedience classes so I have experience in commands and working with them. I believe that fur kids need plenty of exercise on and off leashes. Dog parks are a good way to socialize them and get in exercise. In the home mind games are fun too. Sniffing out a treat to playing with toys on the floor with them. I love taking pictures and document what we do. You will know what your fur child is doing. I am currently working for home during the week day so being with them during the day works. I am able to take breaks and go on short walks. Play with them in our fenced in yard. I plan on retirement in May so I will be available 24/7, 365 days a year. I am willing to come into your home if you would feel more comfortable. If they come to my home we have a fenced in yard and will be able to play with our 2 fur boys. One is an 8 year old chocolate Labrador and the other is a 5 year old German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees. Both have had other dogs come into the home and stayed with us. They love having visitors. In your home I will attend to their needs as you have outlined.

“Debra helped us out so much by looking after our two cats. She was on time and also flexible with our schedule. Her pictures really put us at ease while we were away! Thanks Debra!”


About: I've always been the family member my family could call on to take care of their dogs when they were out. I've walked/been walked by an energetic husky, I've looked after a blind/deaf elderly shih tzu, I've spent hours playing with a cuddly golden retriever, and now I want to help take care of your pets. My schedule is fairly free for weekday/weekend care, earlier in the morning would work better for me but if you need me to come over at the evening/night time, I'd be more than happy to do so. My drop-ins involve a quick to-do list to take care of the basics (any food bowl, water, or potty attention), followed by playtime until I can ensure your pet is happy and satisfied. If you'd like me to have some photos of your pet whether I'm doing in home care or taking them for a walk, let me know and if there's an opening, I'll gladly snap a few photos for you on my phone!

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every dog like they’re my own. I have experience caring for puppies, high-energy breeds, and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and support. Whether it’s training a new pup or giving meds to an older dog, I make sure each pet gets personalized, safe, and loving care. My home is a calm, dog-friendly space, and I’m all about keeping tails wagging and owners worry-free! Ive grown up with pets and they were a big part of my daily life. Feeding, walking, grooming, and just spending time with them were all built into my routine. It taught me responsibility from a young age, and I really enjoyed the companionship. I definitely look forward to having pets again in the future when the timing is right. "When I cared for pets at home growing up—and when helping friends or neighbors—I always made sure their basic needs were met first: feeding, fresh water, regular potty breaks, and exercise. I paid close attention to their routines and any specific instructions, especially when helping in someone else's home. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and loved, whether that’s sticking to their walk schedule, administering medication if needed, or just giving them plenty of playtime and affection. Cleanliness and communication are also big priorities for me when caring for pets in someone else's space.

“Katherine was super nice and a great cat sitter! She took lots of pictures of my kittens for me and even swept up cat litter when my cats made a bit of a mess. Would definitely rebook with her!”


About: I’ve had pets my whole life and started helping with their care at age 10. Though the last 12 years have truly deepened my experience and love for animal care. Currently, I share my home with four cats and a German Shepherd/Husky puppy! Over the years, I’ve had the honor of caring for pets with special needs, both my own and those of friends and loved ones. My puppy and I have completed two 6-week training courses with Canine Initiative – and yes, we still practice those skills daily (with varying levels of success depending on how many squirrels we’ve seen that day). One of my most meaningful experiences was caring for my border collie, Nina, after a serious injury. She needed help walking with a harness, regular cleaning, medications, vet visits, and lots of love. After 2.5 months of dedicated care, she was back on her feet, and we were lucky to share two more wonderful years together. I also cared for her through a late-in-life diabetes diagnosis, which included daily insulin and increased mobility support. I’ve administered medications to dogs including insulin, ear drops, and oral meds, and I’m especially mindful about keeping pets calm and comfortable during care routines. I’m always happy to learn your exact process — whether through an in-person tutorial or a video — to keep your dog’s stress to a minimum. I’m open to caring for dogs with medical or physical needs, with the understanding that for mobility support using a harness, I’m most experienced with dogs 45 lbs. or less. That said, I’m absolutely comfortable walking and caring for dogs over 50 lbs. as long as they are well-mannered on a leash. While I may not be the strongest person physically, I’m confident with larger dogs who don’t pull or lunge too much. If your pup is a gentle giant, we’ll get along just fine on walks! My youngest (age 12) and I work great together playing and giving positive attention to dogs. She has attended most of the dog training classes with me and shown an interest in attending more. If you would prefer myself only, I completely understand! Should your animal need urgent care and I am able to take them to the vet, we are very familiar and close with Morton Animal Hospital and Banfield Pet Hospital. I cannot recommend them enough! If more assistance is needed than the general care/dog walking, I will adjust the rate and will be happy to discuss this with you. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions! I am currently off for the summer and will have various appointments and activities to do with my children and animals. I am able to adjust my schedule at this time but will let you know if I have anything scheduled during the days needed. I understand sometimes extra or unexpected trips are needed to check on your pet. At this time, I am off for the summer and am able to provide care throughout the day for my own pets. Depending on your dogs activity level, I would prefer to care for your dog at your home due to my dogs young and energetic puppy self, as well as my four indoor cats. Should it work out with bringing your dog to my home and remaining outside with me, I do live on a busy street in town and do experience unsafe, fast driving cars at times (Idlewood). With that said, our yard is completely fenced in, though our back and front fence is 5 ft. in height. Larger, escape artist dogs may have the ability to hop the fence and if that is a concern, I would rather not risk bringing your dog to my home.

About: I love animals and I love exercise, so here I am combining the two. I’m excited to try something new and also help out within my community by providing a healthy and heartwarming service I work Mon through Fri 7A-330P in construction. Some weeks I will have OT and will have to reschedule/ adjust my schedule here but other than that I’m pretty flexible. I prefer waking up early to being out late- but can and will accommodate. My pets are spoiled rotten. Constant truck rides and walks, and you can always find a ball or toy that belongs to the girls(dogs). And endless twig sticks and cardboard boxes inside with some windows equipped with bird feeders for the boys(cats). The girls have all day everyday access to fenced backyard and climate controlled garage included with the best neighbors and then to the comfy couch at night. The boys indulge in a cool environment while not moving much from one spot of the couch. Extras include opened curtain scenic views along with nature noises from the tv.

“Michelle and Caleb did an amazing job with Marley. Great communication, they showed up on time and were patient and understanding with Marley even though he was a bit skittish around them. Will definitely use their services again in the future.”


About: I love dogs and I have always love taking care of my dogs. I have trained my dogs to walk like a good boy and girls. I enjoy playing with dogs. It’s easy for me to work around school and work. I would work in between work time and after school. I am very flexible about it. I am good at making dogs feel loved. I am good at giving medication to dogs if they need. I would dog sitting at the client’s house.

About: I have animals of my own and 15 years of experience helping with other animals. I would love to take your dogs for walks or give them some play time throughout the day. I'm open to watching your animals over night too (boarding can be scary). I'm a social worker and off for summer break. I have a lot of free time throughout the day which allows me to meet your dog or cats needs! I have a big yard but we have a underground fence. I will use a leash to let the dogs out. I have a 1 month old Black Lab that is full of energy along with a 1 year old cat who is very energetic. Both animals are good with people and other pets as well. I am willing to take your dog for walk, appointments, give some attention etc.

September N.
“September cared for our 2-year old golden retriever in our house for 26 days. She quickly connected with our very energetic dog and formed a great relationship- it was evident that he loved her as much as she loved him at the end of their time together. September is enthusiastic and adventurous, and likes to explore new places and meet new people which our dog loves too - they went for walks around the neighborhood and on local trails, and even ventured into a few dog friendly stores. It was evident that September’s experience owning and training her own dogs helped her work with our dog. She knew when he needed to play games - mind games, sniffing games and just some time playing on the floor, as well as when it was time to relax and snuggle up in the big chair together. And, she took lots of great pictures and shared them with us, which made us feel good while we were away.”
