“Wow! Lisa was amazing! She was punctual, attentive but most of all loving to Bruce! I would recommend her services to anyone! Her love for dogs went above and beyond this booking! 5+ stars for me! Thank you Lisa for the peace of mind!”


“Ethan was great! Called ahead of time to make sure it was a good fit. When he got here, our dog took to him right away. He was communicative and shared pictures with us afterward. We felt a lot better on our trip knowing our dog was in good hands!”


About: I have worked at the pet shop in town for almost 4 years. I have learned a lot about nutrition and am here to help with that as well. I have always loved dogs & animals. I have 3 dogs now and use to have cats growing up. I have always helped family/ friends with their pets. My cousins would call me “ the dog whisperer” I am very patient and understanding- a dog sometimes is anxious just like us humans. I think taking time out of the day and using interactive toys is so important for stimulation and keeping them busy. I usually am off on sunday & wednesday. I typically work in the morning until 3pm. Can do walks/feed them/ check in’s on the dogs after work and most likely before work. I have lots of grass outside & a gate inside.I would play with them outside, make sure they have a harness and a longer line ( so they are safe)& take them for walks. I can brush the dogs as well. I do prefer to stop at the clients house. I have 2 dogs at my house - it can be a lot. In the clients house I would first make sure the dog goes outside to the bathroom upon arrival. I would take them for a walk, play with the dogs outside( depending on the gate situation) Make sure they have lots of water, food & i can brush them.

“My cats are indoor-outdoor cats and can be shy with strangers, so they can be challenging for a new sitter, but Lauren did a fine job of keeping track of them and making sure they were safe and fed. She even managed to snatch a few photos to send to their worried mom! 🙂”


“I recently hired Jake as my dog walker, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! He truly went above and beyond my expectations. Not only did he take excellent care of my dog, but he also picked up my mail and even cleaned up my house, which was a delightful surprise. Communication was top-notch; Jake kept me well informed throughout the entire process and sent me tons of pictures, which made me feel connected and reassured while I was away. His attentiveness and dedication to my dog's well-being were evident, and I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog walker!”


“Lauren was absolutely amazing. She took wonderful care of my dog Ghost and sent pictures and updates throughout the day. I had a day where plans went a bit off the rails and she was flexible with timing. It was such a relief during a hectic day to know my dog was well taken care of. Will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much Lauren!”


“Diana is an exceptional in-home dog sitter! She provided excellent care for our beloved pet and kept us informed throughout. We were completely at ease knowing our dog was in such capable hands. I highly recommend her services for those families whose pets require extra attention or special care!”


“This was our first time using Andrea. We liked her immediately! And it didn’t hurt that all three dogs warmed to her immediately upon the meet and greet! We will absolutely use her in the future!”


“Sarah stayed with our dog Molly for 2 days and nights. She did an awesome job! We could see from all the pictures and updates that Molly was well cared for. Would highly recommend Sarah!”


About: Hi, I’m Kimberly! I was born an animal lover, and I’ve spent my life surrounded by all kinds of pets—from puppies and parrots to ponies and hedgehogs! Over the years, I’ve worked as a vet tech, kennel tech, dog breeder, handler, trainer and breed judge. I’ve also raised a family alongside a full house of animals, young and old, healthy and in need of extra care. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I’ve helped nurse many pets back to health with patience, time, and love. I believe every animal deserves gentle, attentive care—especially when their humans are away. Let me be your pet’s loving caregiver and companion while you’re gone. I’ll treat them like family! ⸻ Why I love pet sitting I’ve loved animals my whole life! Pet sitting allows me to do what I love most—care for animals—while giving peace of mind to other pet parents. ⸻ Can I administer medication? Yes! I worked as a veterinary technician for 5 years and have experience with oral medications, injections, wouand care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening snuggles, I’m available to accommodate your routine. I’ll work with you to make sure your pet stays happy, comfortable, and on schedule while you’re away. There truly is no place like home, especially when it comes to our beloved pets. I wholeheartedly believe that animals find their greatest joy and sense of security within the warmth and familiarity of their own surroundings. That’s why I provide gentle, trustworthy in-home care designed to maintain your pet’s routine and minimize any stress they may feel. Whether it’s a nutritious meal, a refreshing walk, administering medication, or simply sharing some cuddle time, I promise to care for your pet with all the love and tenderness as if they were my own, right in the comfort of their cherished home.

“We had an amazing experience with Christina. She was very communicative and sent pics with updates. Our sweet senior puppy needed extra care and she did just that. Highly recommend if you need in home care for your pup. Thank you!”


About: Growing up with numerous animals of all kinds, it’s in my nature to love and respect all animals. I’ve personally owned all breeds and sizes ranging from Chihuahuas to Rottweilers Hi there! I'm excited to offer dependable and loving care for your pets through drop-in visits, dog walking, and sitting services. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members, and I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work full-time locally, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to stop by before work, during lunch breaks, and after my workday for drop-in visits or walks. This flexibility makes it easy for me to fit into your pet’s routine and give them the attention they need throughout the day. I’ve had years of experience caring for animals, both my own and others’, including dogs and cats of various breeds, ages, and energy levels. From quick potty breaks to quality playtime and feeding routines, I tailor each visit to your pet’s personality and needs. I’m committed to creating a calm, loving environment for every pet I care for—and I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet soon! I would come to your home, where your animals are comfortable and settled to care for them in their own environment! From first thing in the morning to late at night!

About: Growing up with dogs has given me a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. After our beloved family dog passed away, I channeled my love for dogs into caring for others in my neighborhood, providing both walking and boarding services. I recently left the day care industry to focus on my health. Therefore, I'm available all days and evenings for afternoon walks or to provide boarding when you're on vacations. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment that is tailored to you and your pet's needs and routine. I enjoy play time and taking dogs for walks around the neighborhood.

About: I’ve always been a dog lover, so it was especially hard to move away from home the first time. Dog sitting lets me hangout with furry friends sure, but more importantly lets you feel secure knowing a fellow canine lover is looking out for your dog or dogs. I have experience with dogs large & small, know how to handle a leash puller, and don’t mind doggy kisses at all. I am currently job hunting, but have open availability throughout the week. Weekends work best, but I am flexible especially if you schedule ahead of time. Once I get a consistent job my hours will likely change. I have taken care of young energetic dogs and older ones too. I understand how dogs typically behave, but I also like to get more information about them from clients. This way I can fully know what special needs your furry friend may need. Additionally I am always happy to send updates as needed!

About: Hi, I’m Bridget—a lifelong animal lover with a heart for providing the same care and attention to your pets that I’d want for my own. Whether it’s a quick walk or an overnight stay, I’ll make sure your furry friend feels safe, loved, and entertained. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels- I have had animals all my life—from playful pups to mellow seniors. I’m patient, dependable, and always attentive to the unique needs of each pet. You can count on me to follow your instructions closely, send regular updates, and treat your pet like family. If you're looking for someone who will go the extra mile—whether it’s a longer walk, belly rubs, or just sitting quietly with a shy pet—I’m your person. I’m here to give you peace of mind while you’re away and make your pet’s day brighter. Let’s set up a meet and greet—I’d love to connect with you and your four-legged best friend! I live and work at the same place, which gives me the flexibility to provide dependable and attentive care for your pet throughout the day. I travel too often to have one of my own, and I truly miss the love and companionship animals bring. Caring for pets through Rover fills that gap in my life while allowing me to be a reliable, scheduled support for you. Whether it’s morning walks, evening check-ins, or weekend stays, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. In my home, your pet will enjoy peace, safety, and plenty of love on 88 beautiful acres with no other animals or children around. My house is clean, calm, and organized—ideal for pets who need a quiet, stress-free environment. I tailor care to each pet’s unique needs, whether that means long walks, playtime, medication, or just cuddles and companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel secure and comfortable while you're away.

About: Growing up and into adulthood I have owned a multitude of pets including guinea pigs, turtles, hamsters, fish, frogs, cats, and dogs. I love all animals and understand they are family. I currently work full time but from home which allows me the flexibility to pet sit during the day. I also have availability on the weekends. I currently take care of my own cats which include playing with them, feeding them, changing the litter box, lots of cuddles, and enrichment activities. I also watch friends and families dogs.

Jessica is such a sweet caring person and took wonderful care of my boy Meiko! Meiko is a high energy pup and she handled him very well. She stayed at my house with Meiko for a few days and everything was left in fine shape! I was happy to come home to find Meiko happy and content as well as my house in order. I will use her again and recommend her! She even sent me a few pics and videos of her and Meiko spending time together. Very sweet!
