“We enjoyed having Amelia come visit our cat while we were on vacation. We were nervous about leaving him for over a week but she updated us daily with pictures. Thank you Amelia!”


“Brenton has been doing drop in visits for our two dogs for the past three weeks. We gave him 5 starts for his patience, flexibility, and reliability. One of our dogs is very fearful of new visitors, and Brenton was patient and let her warm up to him slowly and did not pressure her to do what he wants (like go outside, be pet, etc). He has not missed a day or forgotten about an appointment and even reminded me when I forgot to confirm an appointment. He always sends me a picture of my dogs during the visit, which is great! Thanks for taking care of our pups!”


About: My dog, Obi-Wan, passed away recently on May 2, 2025. I had him for 3 years. I love caring for animals and miss it dearly. Obi was muzzle trained. I’ve dealt with reactive dogs in the past. I have more patience and understanding than most. I will take care of your fur baby like I would take care of mine. I work from home full time. 8-5 Mon-Fri. I can take care of animals during my lunch or after work. We can work something out. If you have an apartment complex or a house I will make sure they get to play outside. Do their dog duties and hopefully they take a long nap after having a great day. Daily walks, companionship, hugs, and love.

“Pamela did a great job with Bella. They became fast friends and she treated Bella like on of her own. Was excellent with communication and updates during her visita. Would definitely recommend her.”


About: I have 12 years of hands-on experience caring for my own shelter dog, who is now a happy senior. I've learned how to handle everything from playful puppy energy to the gentler needs of older dogs. My pup loves making new friends, so your dog will have a built-in buddy for playtime, walks, and lots of attention. I treat every dog like family — with patience, love, and plenty of tail wags! https://www.rover.com/sit/ryanp03006 For a discount on your first booking! I work during the week but come home during my lunch for potty time for my dog. After work nights are spent on a nice night walk and relaxing with movies and snacks. Typically dog goes out 3/4 times a day for walks/bathroom breaks. In my home, pets get lots of love, playtime, and a cozy, safe environment. I follow their regular routines to help them feel comfortable — from feeding and potty breaks to walks and cuddle time. In a client’s home, I treat your space with respect and keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible. Whether it’s play sessions, walks, or quiet time, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for every step of the way.

About: I have only taken care of my own fur children. I’ve had 4 wonderful companions. Now I am an empty nester with a desire to give and receive unconditional love from your treasured fur friends. This is not an income for me just pure joy dividends. I can only offer my help outside of my full time job. Available after 4pm on weekdays and open on the weekends. Exceptions may be considered if you’re in a pinch. I will care and love your fur friend as if they are my own. If permitted to enter your home I will be tidy and mindful of your privacy.

About: I’m a passionate animal lover with a lifelong connection to pets. I have two pups, two kitties, a leopard gecko, and two goldfish of my own. Growing up, my home was always filled with animals, and I’ve cared for a variety of pets throughout my life. In addition to taking care of my own, I’ve looked after family and friends’ pets and even worked at a boarding facility, walking, feeding, giving medication, and playing with dogs and cats. I’ve been around dogs of all breeds and ages. Spending time with animals is truly my passion. I have most of Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays free, as well as early mornings the rest of the week. I’d love to stop by for drop-ins to play with and care for your pets, offer some companionship, or go for a walk. I treat every pet with the same kindness and care as if they were my own. I know how important it is to provide the best care possible, especially when pet parents are away. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, a walk, or some quality playtime, I strive to make the experience fun and comforting for your beloved pets.

About: I grew up with dogs and fish in my home. Since moving out and not being able to financially care for a pet, I thought I’d offer to watch and care for yours when you’re unavailable. I work full-time at a hospital so I will be offering my services on days I have off from there, where I work as a registered respiratory therapist. I am willing to stay in your home during the days I work if you are out of town. The only thing to be aware of is that my shifts are 12 hours long. I’m willing to stay in your home with your pet when you’re away from home and follow any schedules you may have for your pet.

“Sara was awesome; did everything we asked of her and more. She was not intimidated by our protective cats and we look forward to using her again in the future. I'm sure they will remember her (:”


About: I am fun, outgoing, and energetic. I have a true passion for taking care of dogs. Growing up my family has had a few dogs that I enjoyed helping with. One was a chow chow and the other was a shorky. Each dog brought joy into my life. Fast forward to my adult life where my love for dogs still exists. My husband and I now have a young mini goldendoodle that we love having in our life. With him in my life, I’ve met so many other dog parents and of course dogs. Each has been very nice and each of these other dogs have not shied away from me. You can call me the dog whisperer. Lol All in all, I can’t wait to meet your dog/puppy and make a new furry friend. I bet they will enjoy taking a walk with me. I love taking walks with my goldendoodle, so hopefully I can help you out and walk with your dog/pup. As my husband and I are goldendoodle parents, I pride myself in taking great care of him. He gets his daily meals, walks, playtime, treats, and so much morez I care for dogs in my home or client homes just like I would my own. My pup deserves everything to keep him healthy and I will follow the clients guidelines in order to feed and care for their dog/pup just like they do.


About: Hello, I’m Hilary! I have been dog sitting for friends for as long as I can remember and have loved every second of it!! I am a HUGE animal lover and can’t wait to meet you pet! Your dog and I will enjoy the great outdoors with either a nice walk or run, we’ll play fetch, explore new parks, and maybe learn a new trick! Weekday Availability: Monday through Friday I am available from 5:45 P.M -10:00 P.M. for drop-ins or walks. Weekend availability is much more flexible. I have loved all dogs (and all other animals) since I was a kid and can’t wait to meet yours! My husband and I have a Husky, Golden Retriever, Great Pyrenees and one outdoor cat. Our pets are a huge part of our daily routine and I love them all to pieces! We have a large/secure fenced in yard with an electronic dog door that allows our dogs to run and play whenever they want, even when we’re working!

About: I often joke that I like animals more than people and with that being said, I can promise that I will love on your furbaby as if they were my own. My Chihuahua-Jack Russell recently crossed over the rainbow bridge and my house has been too quiet. This opportunity with Rover will bring some joy back to my life, hopefully with a side of snuggles. I’ve been watching cats & dogs since I was a pre-teen. I grew up in a house with 2 cats, as well. I work Monday-Friday, but I have plenty of time on the weekends to walk and play with your dog. I am open to house-sitting at your residence if that is better for the animals. I'm available 24/7 for boarding at my house, as long as your pup is crate-trained and okay being home alone for 6-8 hours as I do work full time Monday-Friday. Same hours go for housesitting at the pet's home. I have lots of space to roam in the house. Couch and bed are free spaces. If your pet prefers to be crated at night, I am happy to do so. At your house, I am happy to follow all rules set in place.

“Nishtha is always kind and responsive. Both of my kitties love her and when I get home they are calm and happy. In Nishtha's care, they dont miss me at all! Which is what you hope for (I guess).”


“Ashleigh did a great job. Our cat Knuckles, was well cared for and received extra attention that eased her anxiety while we were away. We will definitely request Ashleigh for our next trip.”
