“Lori is an excellent dog sitter!! My crew of three isn’t always easy, but she handled them perfectly. I knew immediately upon meeting that she is a “dog” person. Also very thorough, timely and professional!”

“Rhianna is comfortable handling our large dogs, and consistently does a good job. She has been a pleasure to work with, and we won't hesitate to rely on her again if our primary animal sitters aren't available.”


About: I've dog sat for friends from time to time. I have never had my own dog, due to moving internationally so many times as a military family. However, I've always enjoyed other people's dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and sizes. I have a lot of experience caring for people which has resulted in me possessing the patience, tact, and empathy necessary for interacting with animals, as well. I have recently resigned from my toxic and stressful government job and am available for any and all opportunities for drop-in pet care and dog walking that do not conflict with commitments to my kids' events. I will care for pets in their owner's homes, with respect for the owner's property and privacy as well as respect for the pet's space and temperament. I will follow directions and meet any special requests for drop-in visits or walks. I am more than capable and willing to play with, exercise, brush, bathe, medicate, feed, and clean up after your pet according to your specifications. I'm a life time manager of risk and analyzer of safety. I am an Air Force veteran and former federal law enforcement. I've cared for many human children in many different and even challenging scenarios, for many parents, without incident. I have been a certified lifeguard, water safety instructor, and child passenger safety technician. Safety and trust are very important to me and I want you and your pet to feel very comfortable with me when it comes to those things.
“Chloe is amazing & our Ellie took to her fast! We’re sad to see her leave & go back to school but definitely will utilize her when she’s back in town! 🥰♥️”

“Titeara was AMAZING. She was like family to my babies. They were so comfortable with her, especially my shy one. She sent many updates and photos and even cleaned up behind them, without asking. She was great and made me being away care free. She was very respectful and treated my house as her own and my babies as her own as well. She is a blessing for sure.”

“Desiree is always wonderful with our dogs, but especially yesterday on Valentine’s Day with all the mud! She made sure our dogs paws were clean as well as our floors, and she tidied up my kitchen and den so that I came home to a warm, clean, welcoming house and excited pups after a long day of work! I always appreciate Desiree and how she goes the extra mile!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs (and all kinds of pets!) for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by animals and pet sitting for families in my community has given me years of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. From playful puppies to senior sweethearts, I’ve truly seen it all—and I love every minute of it. What sets me apart is not just my experience, but the genuine joy I find in building trust with animals and giving them personalized, loving care. Dogs are my favorite animals, and getting to care for them professionally feels like a dream come true. I'm patient, dependable, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ve also cared for guinea pigs, fish, birds, and bunnies—so I’m happy to help with your non-canine companions too! Whether you’re heading out of town or just need an extra hand, you can count on me to keep your pets happy, safe, and loved. I'm a college student who has 2 full days of class on Tuesdays and Thursdays (8:00am-5:00pm), 2 half days of class on Mondays and Wednesdays (8:00am-12:00pm OR 1:00pm-5:00pm), and Friday off! When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it my mission to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, peaceful walks around the neighborhood, or just snuggling up on the couch, I give each pet the attention, affection, and comfort they need while their family is away. I follow all feeding schedules closely and make sure they’re eating, drinking, and taking any necessary medications on time. I’m also happy to send photo or video updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Stephanie was fantastic! She checked in on my boy, walked him, fed him, played with him, and sent me lots of updates and pictures! She gave him lots of love and attention, and he loved her! I wasn't worried about him at all while he was in her care. I definitely recommend Stephanie and will use her again when I need someone to watch my baby! ?”

I am a teacher that is on summer break from June to July. I have pretty open availability to get to know your babies this summer.

About: My name is Leanna. I’ve had pets (big and small) my entire life and for the past 2 years, I’ve been caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs and of a variety of breeds. I’m new to working for Rover and I'm excited for the opportunity to meet your pets. I was a volunteer for a shelter for a little over a year so I have quite a bit of experience under my belt as well. I recently graduated college with a degree in occupational therapy and currently awaiting to take my certification exam; so I have plenty of free time to serve your pets. If you have any questions don’t be afraid to shoot me a message and ask away. I take care of my own 10-month-old puppy named Pax on a daily basis. Also, I help care for three large breed dogs named Neno, Cali, and Smokey. For my puppy Pax, I cook his food weekly and feed him 2-3 times per day, I manage all of his grooming and of course, play in the yard and go on walks with him. I love to pamper and make Pax happy and I would enjoy doing the same for your pets.
“Robert was amazing. He's very sweet and attentive and JuJu loved him. When we returned everything was fine. Robert video chatted with us, sent video, and pics every day we were away. He let himself into our home and we had 0 issues! I would definitely book with Robert again and again!”

About: I am very conscientious and caring. I have owned and cared for a lot of different animals. I will put your mind at ease and will work with you for the top quality care of your pet. I have a wide open daily schedule. I am an early riser and very flexible to meet your needs. I have a horse I visit and want to fill the rest of my time helping others with pet care. I have experienced firsthand how hard it is to get someone you can trust to look after your furry family and realize it is a need in the community. I currently work with my own two dogs every day to ensure they get the exercise needed and make their dog food from scratch so they remain healthy. I understand that your pet needs interaction and breaks from being by themselves while you are away. Commercial pet boarding just doesn’t cut it and takes them out of their safe familiar environment. Raising their stress levels. They don’t need that in your absence. I can take that stress away and make some friends in the process.
