“David did a FANTASTIC job with my 2 dogs. Gave me constant texts and updates without having to prompt for them. I have an epileptic dog that requires medication twice a day and he was great at giving him the oral pills timely. Also took them on our regular 2 a day walks with lots of pictures/videos. In addition to all that left my home clean and dishes done even. Will be using David in the future for sure. Pups loved him and so did I.”


“Molly was great! She stayed at our house and watched our Great Dane. She kept us updated and sent photos. Our dog is high maintenance and she did a great job caring for her. I recommend Molly and will use her again.”


“Brittany was a hit with our Sheltie from the very first meet & greet! She kept me updated on how they were doing. Which is a blessing especially when you are out of town attending a funeral. You definitely do not want to worry about your fur babies!”


“Brianna watched my dog in my house and she eased my anxiety so much! She was constantly sending updates and pictures! She took her on car rides and walks every day! I will definitely be using her again and definitely would recommend her!”


“Bridget did an amazing job with a very stubborn Pomsky! 💖 I would recommend her to anyone that wants exceptional pet care! Thank you so much! Love, Michele and Mia”


About: I have taken care of Seniors, Baby-sat, and have pets. I’ve had several years in customer service and am a responsible college student that goes to a classical Christian college called Grove City College. Walking, cleaning, and feeding pets has been a part of my life for several years. I think what is more telling is my commitment to menial tasks everyday. I am a reliable, disciplined, and routinely individual. In my clients home, I will consistently play with their pets. I’ve had prior expirence taking care of pets and really love animals. I also feed them and walk them on a schedule.

“Lily took amazing care of our two dogs and even took them on evening walks that they so love! We appreciated the communication and photos and will absolutely come back to Lily next time that we take a trip!”



“This was our 1st use of Rover.com and anyone other than family taking care of our fur baby. The moment we met Caitlin, we knew our 14+ yr old kitty needing medication and attention would be in good, loving hands. We had Caitlin house sit to ensure the comfort and well-being of our Sockie. We highly recommend Caitlin and will call on her again.”


“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to stay with my 2 chihuahuas. My 16 year old started a new medicine a few days before I left her for 7 days. I was worried about her eating and getting her pill down since my dog recently became very smart about hiding pills in cheese, treats, etc. Katy made me feel so comfortable. She got my doggie to eat and always got her pill down, coming up with new ways to encourage her to eat. My other dog loved Katy.”



About: Hello! I go by Nic and you should choose me because I have pets my whole life and absolutely love and adore them. I do NOT believe in spanking or aggressive punishment. I feel a good, firm, loud No or noise will be sufficient enough. I would love to sit for your pet and give it the love and care I would my own. Spending time and taking care of them is fun for me. I have two dogs: My little one is named Bella. A few years ago I adopted a stray German Shepherd Lab Mix. His name is Reptar and his personality is just hysterical. I also took in a stray cat about 6 years ago. His name is Lucifer and he is a spitfire. All three are my pride and joy. They are the best things that have ever happened to me. I am available for dog sitting in your home or I can stop in and check on your babies. Whatever you would like I can do! I really don't feel comfortable walking a dog who is aggressive towards other animals when they are out and on a leash. Other than that, I am happy to provide pet service requests! I love caring for pets. My goal is to make sure your pets are comfortable and happy while you're away. I have had pets my whole life and consider them an important part of the family. This service is no longer available for me to provide at this time. My apologies for this inconvenience. It is subject to change in the future.

About: I am responsible, respectful, and reliable. I have taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. I’m not going to let you down. I am semi retired and available most days. I do have some physical limitations, but we can address them as needed if that would be an issue. I can just let them out and check for food and water, I can take them for a walk, and I can work with special needs. The idea is that you feel comfortable knowing that you’re pet is safe and happy.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets—dogs, cats, and small animals. From daily walks and feedings to administering medications and providing comfort, I’ve built trust with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I take the time to learn their routine, understand their behavior, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you always feel connected. I’m currently working part time so I will be available Saturdays from 12a-9p and Sunday 12a-9p. I also will take requests for other days, I can work with you! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible—feeding them on schedule, giving plenty of love and attention, keeping their space clean, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I respect their environment and follow any specific instructions closely. While I don’t currently have a dog in my own home, that allows me to give your pet my full attention without distractions. My dog currently passed so we have an electric fence but that’s it! If your pet stays with me, they’ll have a clean, calm, pet-friendly space with lots of one-on-one care, playtime, and love. I’m all about making them feel at home—whether it’s their place or mine.

About: As a dedicated dog lover and proud owner of two golden retrievers, I understand that every dog is family. My experience caring for my own pups has given me firsthand knowledge of everything from puppy energy to the gentle needs of senior dogs. I provide patient, loving care tailored to each dog’s personality, age, and routine. Whether it’s keeping your energetic pup entertained or giving extra attention to older dogs, I treat every dog like my own—with love, consistency, and a whole lot of belly rubs. I’m a college student currently off for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule! I’m available weekdays from early mornings through early evenings. While I prefer daytime care, I can also accommodate overnight stays with advance notice. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I’m excited to spend my summer giving dogs the attention, playtime, and love they deserve! While I don’t offer in-home boarding, I’m happy to care for your dog in the comfort of your own home. I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, and I’ll treat your home and your dog with the utmost respect and care. My own dogs are protective, so I don’t offer playdates, but I’m more than happy to take your pup on walks, to the park, or to any favorite spots they enjoy. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities.

Stephanie B.

Nicole W.
“Not only have I known Nicole for 10+ years, but she’s also taken care of our outdoor cats whenever we’ve gone on vacation. Throughout the years we’ve had cats with various personalities, some being more skittish than others, but they always seemed to trust Nicole and would come when she called. Nicole has always loved animals and will take the time to go above what’s required. She recognizes that besides food, water, and a clean litter box, pets also need love and attention, especially when an owner leaves and the pet becomes distressed. Nicole is prompt, organized, and dependable, and for that, I would absolutely recommend her as a pet caregiver to anyone!”
