“We could not be happier with how well our dogs were taken care of! We got tons of pictures and videos, and they were super calm and happy when we arrived home. We have never been this comfortable traveling and leaving our pups in someone else’s care. Thank you for everything!!”


“Olivia performed her role as head of my fur baby family with so much care and professionalism. I could not be happier with her work. The dogs & cats were cared for as well as I would have and the house might have been cleaner when I got home than when I left. I won’t be using another Rover sitter as long as Olivia is available! She’s the best!”


“Taylor was awesome from the get go! She accommodated our requests for dates by rearranging her schedule so she could care for our dogs. She checked in daily morning and nightly to put our minds at ease that our dogs were ok. We would highly recommend Taylor’s services!”


“This was my first experience booking with rover, and it was a great experience! Emily was amazing!! She did overnights in my home for 23 days! She took great care of my cats and bird. From the first meet and greet, my cats gravitated towards her. The cats are younger, less than a year old, and this is the first time I was going to be away from them for an extended period of time. Emily definitely put my mind at ease. She was very pleasant and professional. She truly enjoys being around animals and mine truly enjoyed her. She communicated with me frequently and sent pictures & videos of them often. They were all so happy and well taken care of. She even befriended my temperamental, old, little parrot and he was sitting on her shoulder by the end of her stay. I highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs. I already have her booked for a future stay!”


“Hana is very kind and gentle and took great care of my two dogs. She sent multiple updates while I was traveling and that set my mind at ease. The house was pristine upon my return. Great job, Hana!”


“Andrew is great! He really cared about our dog and frequently updated us on how the dog was doing. He also left the house spotless. We will definitely hire him again.”


“Nicole is fabulous! She is very mindful of owners’ desires and did a great job learning and managing my dogs’ complicated feeding regimen and other routines. Additionally she managed all the safety protocol perfectly when hurricane Helene hit (we were overseas and coukd notvget home in time). My dogs absolutely adore her! I am very, very picky about whom I leave my dogs with — I am very grateful to have found Nicole!”


“Rebecca really helped us out on short notice and was so sweet and loving to our pup. She was very flexible and made us feel very safe to leave our anxious puppy with her.”


About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, and even cows—basically, if it has four legs and fur, I’ve probably looked after it! From bottle-feeding puppies I bred myself to providing gentle care for my senior dog who stayed by my side from middle school through college, I’ve seen it all and loved every moment. What sets me apart is my lifelong hands-on experience and genuine understanding of animals' needs at every stage of life. I’m confident with high-energy breeds (I have two huskies—so, yes, chaos is my normal), and I’m equally comfortable providing patient, loving care to older pets who need a slower pace. Whether it’s playtime, belly rubs, special diets, or medication schedules—I’ve got it covered. Your pet will be in kind, capable hands, and I promise to care for them as if they were my own. Pet care has always been a big part of my daily life. With two huskies at home, I’m used to staying on top of walks, playtime, feeding routines, and all the furry chaos in between. While I don’t work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be home frequently throughout the day, especially for check-ins, walks, and quality time with the pets in my care. Because animals have always been part of my life, caring for them isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my routine. Whether it’s morning snuggles, midday potty breaks, or evening play sessions, I make sure every pet feels loved, safe, and right at home. While my yard isn’t fenced just yet (it's in the works!), your pup will still get plenty of exercise and fresh air with multiple walks each day. I offer a safe, comfortable environment and can easily accommodate crate-trained dogs if needed. My flexible schedule allows me to meet your dog’s needs—whether that’s extra potty breaks, medication, or just some extra snuggles. I also have two friendly huskies of my own who love making new doggy friends, so your pet will have great company and lots of playtime (if they’re into that!). I treat every dog like part of the family and make sure they feel right at home.

About: I'm basically your pet’s fun aunt—snacks, snuggles, and all the love! I’ve got experience with wild little puppies who think everything is a chew toy, and sweet seniors who just want a slow stroll and a cozy nap. I’m super in tune with each pet’s vibe, whether they need a play buddy or a calm companion. I keep things fun, safe, and stress-free—for both you and your pet. Plus, you’ll always get updates because I know being away from your furry BFF is tough. Think of me as the next best thing to you! Caring for pets fits into my routine naturally—I love it. Whether it’s a walk, some playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved. I’m happy to work around their schedule (and yours) to make things easy and comfortable for everyone. I am also a local Realtor, so i do majority of my work from my home office, so it allows more time for my pets to be out of crates and more play time! When I care for pets in my home, I create a calm, welcoming space where they can feel safe and relaxed. I stick to their usual routines as much as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddle breaks. I keep things cozy and make sure they get lots of attention, so they never feel alone. If I’m caring for pets in their own home, I treat their space with respect and follow their usual schedule closely to keep things familiar and comfortable. Whether it’s sticking to feeding times or favorite walking routes, I aim to make the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible for both pets and owners. No matter where I’m caring for them, I focus on building trust and making sure every pet feels happy and secure.

About: I have five cats and a dog of my own. I love exploring new trails and finding new places to walk. I also have experience administering medication to pets. I grew up with a dog that needed lots of medicine. I have plenty of experience with injections, pills, and liquids. I will treat your baby like my own. I truly miss the animals I watch when I inevitably have to leave. I hope you will trust me with your baby soon! I am able to move my schedule with notice. I typically have school Tuesdays in person every other week. Just let me know in advance and I can make it work! I am very careful with making sure harnesses are on and safe. I make sure the water and food bowl are full and nothing is out that is dangerous.

“This was our second time booking Gabby, and once again, she was absolutely fantastic! She stayed at our home with our two dogs and took such great care of them. She sent regular updates and photos throughout the day (which I love!), was very communicative, and made the whole experience easy and stress-free. Our dogs adore her, and we always come home to happy pups and a well-cared-for home. Gabby is lovely to work with, incredibly reliable, and by far our favorite sitter. We feel so lucky to have found her!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs. I treat every animal like they’re my own. I currently live in a separate suite on my father’s property. While I don’t have any pets of my own I am an active part of daily care for the family pets and always have been, so this responsibility is not new or burdensome to me. Additionally, my home arrangement affords me the opportunity to give your pet friend undivided care and attention. As a full time student, I have ample time to spend with your pet! Whether it’s going on walks, playtime, or lounging around. All activities fit perfectly into my daily routine. I love being outside, so pets in my care get plenty of fresh air, exercise, and playtime! Whether I’m watching your pet at your home or mine, I always keep things calm, safe, and fun. I closely follow their normal routine and give them the attention they need to feel comfortable and happy. I have my own separate living quarters, which allows for separation from other animals on the property. However, due to my unique living situation, I still have access to other animals for socialization or companionship if that’s something your pet enjoys.

I have less experience with small animals but do love them with all my heart. I work a regular 9-5 but am willing to do morning, afternoon and night visits unless otherwise stated. I typically have a regular 1 hour lunch which should leave me plenty of time to come let babies out as needed. Your pets are my pets! I have 4 cats, 3 chickens and 1 approaching senior doggo. I will likely talk to them in an annoying voice and embarrassingly spill all my secrets to them.
