About: With over 50 years of hands-on experience in pet care. I've dedicated my life to understanding and supporting the well-being of animals, especially dogs. For 8 years, I have worked as a veterinary technician, where i gained in-depth medical knowledge and practical skills in animal heath, emergency care and preventative treatment. My background also includes extensive experience in both basic and advanced dog training focusing on obedience, behavior modification and building strong bods between pets and their owners. Over the decades I've cared for animals of all ages, breeds and temperaments - from raising litters of puppies and kittens to providing compassionate support for senior pets. My approach combines patience, consistency and a deep respect and love for every animal's unique personality and needs. Things to consider prior to booking: • Are they friendly with other pets? I have one dog and 3 cats in our home. • Are they able to jump a 5ft fence? • Are they protected against Heartworm, Fleas and Ticks? • Potty Trained? I am happy to help train but just need to know ahead of time. • Up to date on all vaccines? • Big chewers? • Let us know if your pet has any special need or accommodation we should account for! I can accommodate a variety of needs! I am happy to provide whatever care your pet needs & make sure they are happy & comfortable in our home. A few things to know about what I offer: 100% Love and Care I take photos of your pet (I am not a professional photographer) – I will try not to overwhelm you! I do not require a meet and greet but am happy to do so. My preference is to introduce your pet(s) to mine slowly and very controlled environment. SAFETY is my #1 Concern for your pets and for mine. What to bring for your stay: Collar with a tag & leash Food (Label with the amount per meal) - Slow feeder if needed Medications, if needed Kennel (for boarding stays) - Anything to make them comfortable in their kennel (blanket, toys, bed) I generally don’t use a kennel if they are good house guests (no destruction or accidents) they can have house privileges. I will provide: Water Bowls (I have many throughout the house and outside) Foods Bowls Toys - Treats - Chew bones & treats Dog beds around the house (I have many) A Typical Day can be: Wake up and take them out to potty (I have a big, fenced back yard). Feed them breakfast Out for potty about 2 hours (or sooner) after breakfast. Relax, play and/or snooze as they want. Potty breaks are directed by their needs, they let me know they need to potty, and we go outside (I am their servant, and I stay with them while they are outside). They potty and play and then we come in. This goes on all day as needed. Cuddles on command and if they just want to lay around, I’m ok with that as well. I have taken all my dogs (past and present) through many different levels of training session – Puppy, Basic and Advanced. Let me know what you need, and I am happy to help. SPECIAL NOTE with Regard to Cats Cats do their own things and totally dictate their day to day and I respect and honor their wishes! I do have a room set up that they can call their own (if needed) and I have a secure Catio they can hang out in and enjoy fresh air. I am retired and love to help people and their pets. I have lots of free time and want to offer my knowledge and experience to people who have busy lives but want the best for their furbabies. I live on 3/4 acre and I have a large fenced in back yard. I do have a dog and 3 cats at home so any pets that need to be watched at my home need to be able to get along with them. I am dependable, trustworthy and honest and can also take care of your pets in your home. If you need to know anything else, please ask.
“I needed recurring visits & Arrica was more than helpful with my dog! She truly saw my dog as her own & took wonderful care of him. Will be booking with her again if I need someone to drop in on him!”
“Ron did an amazing job with my dog and two cats! He was extremely communicative and always sent photos. He was also very patient while I tried to sort out a door lock issue from a thousand miles away!”
“Fantastic! Was out of town for two weeks and relied on Rachel to drop in on our cat every two days. Got excellent, detailed updates and pictures, and my normally antisocial scardy-cat took to her immediately! Definitely someone you and your pet can trust!! Will book again in the future.”
About: Hi, we are Scott and Jenn. We are experienced dog people, but we don't have a dog right now, so we are available to give your pup(s) our undivided attention. Dogs have been a central part of both our lives from growing up with dog "siblings" to fostering and adopting dogs of various breeds, ages and temperaments. Big and small, from high-energy young pups to sweet old seniors. After our Doberman passed in 2022, we made the difficult decision not to get another dog right away. Since Scott retired, we spend about six months a year traveling in our RV to visit family across the country. It has been a truly wonderful experience; however, life without dogs isn't right! Rover offers the perfect opportunity for us to enjoy spending time with dogs, while providing you peace of mind and your pets all the love and attention they deserve! My work is flexible and often portable, so I can be available just about any time. If I get your request before I go to bed, I can be at your home by 10am the next day. We treat dogs like family. A friend once told us “If reincarnation is real, I want to come back as one of your dogs”. We spend lots of time doing enrichment activities with the dog we sit for. We also really enjoy walking, so we would absolutely love to take your dog for long walks!
“First time using rover, Michaela was great and I felt like my kitties enjoyed their time while she visited them! Michaela really listened to what I usually do for the cats and learned their personalities. Plus she was very patient with me and when the schedule needed to change after booking, she ensured I got the proper refund without me even asking. 10/10 recommend”
“We had Vanessa watch our two young cats over Thanksgiving week. Vanessa was great with them and with us - attentive to their needs and very responsive to us. Our favorite was the pictures she shared in the after-visit reports, and our cats’ favorite was seeing their new buddy. Vanessa was very respectful, professional, and kind. Would definitely ask Vanessa to come back in the future!”
“Carmen and Katie were amazing! They were always on time and sent us lots of (happy) pictures of our furbaby. Ping-Pong is elderly and needs meds twice a day. All meds were dispensed as directed and cuddles were given liberally. We will use them again and I highly recommend them! I guarantee you and your furbabies will not be disappointed!”
“If I could give Kadyn 10 out of 5 stars, I would. Not only did she come to our rescue when our other sitter unexpectedly (and quite unceremoniously, I should add) canceled our pet-sitting while my husband and I were across the ocean, but she also consistently went above and beyond. I sent her all the materials I had sent the other sitter and tried to be as available as possible, but she honestly didn't really need me. She took such amazing care of our two kitties and sent even better pictures and updates. If you're able to book her, absolutely do. Impeccable isn't praise enough.”
“Ashley is great! She has done drop-in visits for my cat on two occasions when I was out of town. I will continue to ask for her help in the future - so glad I found Ashley!”
“Ella dropped in on my two cats for a week while I was out of town. She sent lots of photos and updates at the same time each day, just like we had discussed during our meet & greet. One of my cats is hesitant with strangers, but Ella was able to bond with him and get him to come out of his hiding spot. She was even kind enough to put a scoop of kibble outside each day for a stray cat who has been hanging around my house. It’s pretty obvious that Ella is an animal lover, and I’ll be happy to hire her again in the future.”
About: I have had a dog ever since I was 10 years old. I got another dog shortly after and would take care of them both when my parents were away. I watch my neighbors two large dogs for weeks at a time. I enjoy taking dogs on walks outside and playing with them- I treat them as my own. I work another job part time, I go to work early and am usually done around 3 or 4. I am available most weekends all day and am available for overnight care. I am normally off Friday-Sunday. I have a big field in my backyard and am comfortable if you do not live in a fenced in area. I am comfortable putting pets in a crate as well.

Ann J.
“I am pleased to write this reference for Ann, she has provided exceptional pet sitting services for my dog and cats on numerous occasions over the past 8 years. From the moment we met, Ann demonstrated a natural ability to connect with animals. My dog, who can be a bit shy around new people, immediately warmed up to them, and my cat—typically aloof—also responded positively. Ann is reliable, attentive, and has a genuine love for animals that is evident in everything they do. During my time away, I was always confident that my pets were in excellent hands. Ann provided regular updates, including photos and notes about their behavior and activities, which gave me great peace of mind. They followed feeding and medication instructions meticulously and ensured both pets received the attention and affection they needed. Beyond their experience with dogs, Ann is equally skilled at caring for cats, understanding their different needs and personalities. Whether it was taking my dog for long walks or spending quiet time with my cat, she showed patience, kindness, and professionalism at all times. I highly recommend Ann to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter, especially if you have multiple pets. They have always gone above and beyond, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust them with my pets again.”

She handles my dog with kindness, patience, and confidence. For anyone looking for a caring and responsible helper, Celia is an easy choice.”

Sarah was the best! I felt very comfortable knowing my cats were in good hands. She was very responsive and had clear communication with each visit. She went the extra mile to ensure the cats were fed, played with, taken care of, and received plenty of attention. I'd definitely recommend her to a friend and use her in the future!
Ron is great and SO reliable. I never wonder for even a moment whether he’ll show up as scheduled or care for our dogs as we request. I can see in the photos he takes that the dogs greet him at the door with toys to show off to him — an unmistakable sign that they are happy to see him!
Caitlin was a wonderful pet-sitter and I would use her again for sure. She was lovely with my cat, gave him lots of attention and made sure he had what he needed, and I loved the picture updates. Great communication and response times, and very accommodating regarding key exchange.
Sophie was wonderful! This was my first time leaving my two cats alone while I went on a family vacation and she made me feel so comfortable leaving them in her care. She played with them, made sure to follow feeding and care instructions and sent plenty of updates and photos. I came home to a clean place and two happy kitties. Can’t compliment her enough!
Carmen and Katie were amazing! They were always on time and sent us lots of (happy) pictures of our furbaby. Ping-Pong is elderly and needs meds twice a day. All meds were dispensed as directed and cuddles were given liberally. We will use them again and I highly recommend them! I guarantee you and your furbabies will not be disappointed!
