“Sara was absolutely amazing! She was so sweet to our kitties, sent pictures and videos. She made sure they were fed, their litter was clean and they were so enamored with her. Even our kitty who doesn't cuddle was cuddling with her. We will absolutely use her again.”
“Kayla was incredibly attentive and great with my little boys -- they even came out of hiding to get some love and attention, which is huge for them! I can only believe it speaks to her expertise and clear care for the pets she works with. Thank you so much, Kayla!”
About: My entire life I have been raised around large breed dogs, cats, and fish. I am also familiar with reptile, monkey, equestrian, farm animal, and small mammal care. Such as cleaning pens, feedings, cleaning tanks, ear canal cleanings, nail trimming, bathing, and deshedding! The personal pets you see listed on my profile are 100% accurate as well, most people find it shocking but I’ve always been raised around an entire pack of animals and they are all in the best health with the most love we could possibly surround them with! I am completely available to watch your animals! I am hoping to make this a full time job, so please book me for your long trips, and daily walks! I can ensure that I will leave your house cleaner than when I arrived. My parents run 5 AirBnB cabins, and I am the housekeeper for the guests to ensure sanitary sheets, towels, and plates/dishes are provided. As well as a well kept, and clean living environment while they enjoy our stay with us! I was previously a school custodian for South Warren Middle School in Bowling Green, KY, so cleaning was a daily job for me and I thoroughly enjoy it. Now I hope to love on animals and make sure that THEY stay in a sanitary and clean environment.
About: I’ve had multiple dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. Currently the proud pup father to 4 sweet babies of all ages. I’m currently enrolled in professional dog training courses. Whether it’s a new puppy you’re adding to the family or your senior companion, their time spent with me will be rewarding for both you and the pup! I currently have plenty of time and can fit just about any situation into my schedule! I’m looking to be involved with dogs as a full time career! I have extra crates at home if you would like your pup to be crated. If not, your dog will roam inside my home along side my fur babies to keep them company! We are in the process now of fencing 3 acres to give the pups more space than they know what to do with!

“Taryn was AMAZING! I was nervous leaving my cats and had never used Rover before, but I'm so happy I found Taryn. She sent me regular updates and pictures of all my cats, so I still felt very connected to them and felt comfortable that they were doing well. She was patient with my two timid cats and I got the sense that they all loved her! I felt like Taryn truly took the time to care for my cats and I know they had good company while I was away. She also fed the strays/feral cats while I was gone which was not necessary but very much appreciated. My house was also very clean when I came home--Taryn cleaned out all the bowls and the kitchen area and left everything very organized which was a nice extra touch. I will 100% hire Taryn again!”
“Oo Meh was the best sitter I have ever met. She was so kind to us and made sure that we were comfortable with her abilities. She took great care of our two cats during our anniversary vacation. Every day she sent updates as requested and made sure they were well taken care of. My cats were even upset leaving her presence, thats how I know she poured in great care and effort into our kids. If you book with Oo Meh, just know you will be in great hands!!! We Will definitely book with her for our future planned trips!”
“Allie was amazing checking in and looking after my cats! I felt that they were in comfortable hands the whole time. She would take cute photos and let me know that they were taken care of. She was great!”
About: I’ve spent the last 6 years caring for dogs and cats. Whether it’s feeding time, playtime, or just making sure your animals feel safe and loved, I’ve got it covered. I treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my day—before work, after work, and in the evenings. I always be sure to make the pet I’m looking after my first priority! I understand that every pet is unique, so I always follow your care and safety instructions exactly as provided. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, routines, or special needs, I’ll make sure your pet gets the care they’re used to.
About: Hey there! I’m Haley. If you’re anything like me, your pets are family. 🩷🩷 I’m confident with pets of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. Whether your pet needs medications at specific times, your cat is skittish around new people, or your senior pup needs a little extra TLC — I’ve got it handled with patience, experience, and a whole lot of heart. I genuinely pay attention to the little things — their habits, moods, body language, what makes them feel at ease — and I always aim to make their time with me feel like a safe, happy extension of home. I’m especially tuned in to pets with anxiety or special needs. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby behind, and I do everything I can to make that process feel smooth and comforting for both of you. Expect open communication, photo updates, and lots of love given in your absence. I’m not just a sitter — I’m a calm presence, a routine-keeper, a play buddy, and most importantly, someone who genuinely loves animals. I treat every pet like they’re my own. If that sounds like what you’ve been looking for, I’d love to meet you (and your four-legged bestie)!🩷 Pet care is part of my everyday life—I build my schedule around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s morning feedings, mid-day walks, or evening check-ins, I make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which makes me available for frequent visits and extended stays if needed. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. In your home, I keep their space clean, secure, and familiar. I follow all your routines and instructions closely—whether it’s crate time, diet, or meds. In my home, I maintain a quiet space with plenty of supervision. I communicate with pet parents frequently, with photos and updates for peace of mind.
“Kennedy took great care of my pups! Highly recommend her!”
“Tyler went above and beyond with my kitty, Rocket. He stopped by once per day for 14 days to check on everything and play with him. Rocket immediately took to him and was in his lap first day and he usually doesn’t do that! Rocket was also having some litter box issues that Tyler worked on with him. While not solving them totally, they were lessened to a great degree. Will definitely use Tyler again!!”
“MaKenzie took wonderful care of our cat Cooper while we were gone. She went above and beyond to make sure Cooper was cared for and had fun. I would definitely use Makenzie in the future. Thank you!”
“Jen does a great job and tries to follow every instruction to make sure it all goes well. I was out of town for a week, first time my cat had been alone since we moved here, and everything was fine.”
“Jesse does a great job with our dogs”
“Samantha did a fantastic job! We had her drop in over the weekend while my husband and I were out of town. She was communicative and super sweet. Luna loved her. Will definitely be using her more in the future!”
About: Hi! My name is Allison, I’m 26 years old and have had dogs and cats my whole life. I love every animal I meet, and am a trusted care provider for many of my friends' and family members' pets. I can provide exercise, feeding, companionship, pets and cuddles for your fur babies while you're away. I know how important maintaining routines is for most pets, so I'm happy to either drop in to your home and/or stay the night when needed. I can also provide dog walks and runs as frequently as needed. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, giving oral medication, and applying eye medication to dogs and cats. I can guarantee the best quality of care, and hope that you'll consider choosing me as your sitter!
“Brianna went above and beyond with our sweet Teddy while we were gone. He is a very senior dog with some issues that go along with that, and Brianna was a wonderful caregiver. Would recommend to anyone!”
About: I have been dog sittin for 3 years now it’s became what I enjoy and I’m looking to add more clients and make this a career(: I can stop by play catch, go for walks, and let them eat breakfast/dinner 2-3 times a day. I make as much time as possible! I offer at your home service the only reason for leaving is to go to the park or hiking, if okay with owners to do so.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I can’t remember a time I didn’t have a dog. I worked at a doggy daycare + boarding facility for 2 years, I started dog sitting on Rover while working there. I have been sitting for 3.5 years now. I am now a dog groomer. I learned so many things about dogs while working at the doggy daycare that I apply to my sitting and grooming business every day. I am a full time dog groomer, I let the dogs out first thing in the morning, I feed, then let out again before I leave for work. The pups will either be crated or left out (which ever is most comfortable with you) while I’m at work. My husband gets home before I do, so he lets them potty again when he gets home. When I get home, I let them out to potty. Depending on what time I get off, either me or my husband feed the pups their dinner. For the rest of the night, we’re all snuggled up on the couch until bed time. 🖤 *of course I let them out to potty multiple times when I get home :) I have 3 friendly pups here at home! 2/3 of mine arent friendly when it comes to their food - therefore, I separate ALL dogs while feeding while also standing and monitoring until everyone is finished. 1 of my dogs goes outside while I’m at work or goes to work with me, my 2 girls are left out in the house. I will either crate your pup or leave them out with my two that stays out. I monitor them for HOURS if not at least a day or so before letting them be left in the house together by their self! I also have cameras in my house so keep a watch on them. They are only able to be in the living room and kitchen while I’m gone. I put everything away and out of reach. When I leave dogs out with my dog, they just spend the day laying on the couch and looking out the window. 🖤
