“A couple months before my wedding, my brother had to move back in with my mother unexpectedly and was not happy about it. For about 45 seconds I entertained offering him to stay at our house while we were on our honeymoon in return for him watching our dogs. Then I quickly realized that I don't trust him and I would much rather pay Karissa to watch Chilli and Ozzy and our house than have my brother do it for free. Karissa watched Chilli and Ozzy for 10 days while we were in South America and took great care of them and our house, as always. She even put our garbage out on garbage day for us.”
About: I’m a reliable and caring dog sitter with experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I understand how important routine, consistency, and attention are for dogs, and I make sure each pup feels safe, exercised, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and administering simple medications. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and comfort, and I always follow your instructions closely. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is happy and in good hands. Above all, I treat every dog like my own, with patience, affection, and dependable care. Your dog’s happiness, safety, and your trust are always my top priorities. I work during the day and usually get home (to Quincy) around 5pm! If you require a service a little earlier in the afternoon, please provide me with a few days notice and I will do my best to adjust my work schedule to fit your service into my schedule! When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, and care instructions provided to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I keep their environment clean and safe, closely monitor behavior and energy levels, and communicate any concerns right away. I provide regular updates and photos so owners feel at ease while they’re away. Whether care takes place in my home or yours, my priority is always the pet’s well-being, comfort, and happiness.
About: Big, calm, crazy, or small, I’ll care for them all! Whether you’ve a rambunctious pup ready to romp or a couch potato wanting a snuggle, I’m here to make them happy and give you peace of mind. As a life long pet owner and former farm kid, I’ve experienced pets and animals from all walks of life. I’ve yet to meet one I couldn’t connect with! Farm life crafted me into an unofficial veterinarian as I was always the one treating, retrieving, and caring for all the four legged friends around. I’ve come to fully appreciate animals’ complete dependence upon us as caregivers. It is up to us to give them the life they deserve. I strive to give each of my fur children, and yours if you’ll have me, the best possible life imaginable! I am a remote worker with a flexible schedule. Send me your needs and we will work out a schedule that fits everyone’s needs, especially your fur baby’s! I’m here to care for your fur baby as if they were my own, with lots of snuggles, treats, walks, toys and photoshoots. If you have any special instructions to keep them in a routine or treat any medication needs, I’m more than happy to do whatever it takes to keep them happy and healthy and give you the peace of mind all we pet owners need when away from home.
“This was our second time booking with Bridget and she took such great care of our dog Eldrick! She went above and beyond to give him plenty of play time and exercise, and kept us updated with many photos. Thanks again Bridget!”
About: I’m a current volunteer at Quincy Animal Shelter and while I specialize in cats, I love animals of all kinds! I’ve cared for all sorts of animals from cats and dogs to turtles and birds. I have cat medication administration experience and can perform basic cat grooming on cats like nail trims and sanitary shaves. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, reactive dogs, and larger dog breeds. I love all animals and would love to meet your fur babies too! I currently work a flexible job and have a child in school so I have availability during week days for dog walking and pet sitting I offer boarding for cats only due to having a dog that is reactive to other dogs. I have a dedicated room for cats and am happy to work with you to find the perfect solution for your fur babies.
“Rev was the most responsive, caring and thoughtful caring person! She sent us many, many pictures with updates throughout the days we were away and went out of her way to coordinate with our families as I had undergone an emergency surgery and couldn’t make it back in time. Simply put, Rev is the bestest!!”
“Jaspers had a great time with Boning taking care of him on our vacation. She was a responsive and responsible house sitter who kept us updated with news and pictures throughout. Thank you!”
“Isabelle was amazing. We can tell Mia loved being with her with all the updates, notes and photos she would send us! We are so grateful we found Isabelle and will for sure use her services whenever we go away!”
“Pamela did a wonderful job taking care of my 2 dogs and cat while I was gone for the weekend! She was punctual and responsible, followed all my care instructions, sent photos and updates, and was delightful to work with. I would definitely have Pamela watch them again.”
“Ashlee took care of our beloved Dewey for 5 nights and was everything we asked for! She is completely trustworthy and Dewey absolutely loves her! When we got back he was happy and relaxed and the house was perfect. She has an aura of responsibilty and understands the importance of the job. We cant recommend her highly enough!”
“Allegra is incredible! We asked her last minute to stay for the weekend with our Bernese Mountain Dog. She was communicative, punctual and so kind. She updated us all weekend with photos and activities. Our home was exactly as we left it. She even laundered our sheets for us! We will definitely be relying on Allegra in the future.”
“Jovani took wonderful care of my dog and cat! My pets clearly loved her and even my cat who is afraid of everyone was excited to see her. She is communicative, reliable and friendly. I would highly recommend her for your pet care needs!”
“Flex absolutely adored spending time with Deb. All the walks and sniffs and treats he could want and more. Deb took extremely good care of my boy- we will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I have experience with taking care of senior dogs, as well as taking care of dogs from all ranges of sizes. I currently have a 9-year-old Yorkie, and I used to have a golden retriever as well. I work full-time, so I am more flexible babysitting in the evening/night. On the weekends, I will be available all day whenever my schedule is open. Our apartment is located right next to a public park so there is tons of space for your pup to play and go on walks! I also have a 7-year-old dog at home to keep your pet company! We have tons of space within our neighborhood and street to walk your pet safely.

Weixiu provided drop in service for our 2 pups while we were away on a short vacation. One of our dogs is shy and she quickly warmed up to Weixiu's kind, caring energy. Our dogs were walked, fed and cared for with lots of pictures and video updates via the app. When we returned home, our dogs were in a great mood (as opposed to shell shocked like when returning from a kennel). Our dogs look forward to seeing Weixiu again sometime in the future.
I cannot recommend Des highly enough. She took exceptional care of my sick Stella and went above and beyond at every step. When I was in a pinch, she even made food for her, which meant the world to me and made such a difference in my dog’s comfort and recovery. She was incredibly communicative, keeping me updated and easing my worries the entire time. Her professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail gave me complete peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone you trust fully with your pet, especially when they’re not feeling well, and she exceeded every expectation.
Elliott housesat and took care of my elderly cat. She has been ill lately and was not eating well. He took great care of her, gave her lots of attention and came up with different ways to entice her to eat. He sent me regular updates and photos. I highly recommend Elliott!
Deb watched our 2 dogs & cat over the Thanksgiving holiday on such short notice as we were headed out of town. I would highly recommend Deb to anyone who is in need of a pet sitter/dog walker. She provided us with updates & pictures 3 times per day, which I loved. We knew our dogs & cat were in great hands with Deb and she provided them with such wonderful care. We will definitely use Deb for future needs :)
Angie was fantastic—professional, on time, and very attentive to our dogs’ routine. She kept us updated with photos and left our home spotless. Our pups loved her (maybe a little too much!). We would absolutely recommend her and look forward to hiring her again.
Great experience with Micah! Tons of updates and pictures. She took my active pup on lots of walks including some really long ones to tire him out! All instructions were followed and the house was in perfect shape when we got back. We’ve been using Rover for 5+ years and this was the best overnight experience we’ve had so far. Highly recommend.
My pets (and plants) were so incredibly grateful for their 3 days with Maddy. She’s attentive, caring, and my dog is exhausted. I have one cat who is very shy, and even she came out because she trusted her! Great photos, great communication. Will definitely be re-booking!
Molly has been great for us. She’s helped us out in a pinch a couple of times. She’s been reliable, trustworthy, and a great sitter for our puppy. She’s also respected our home. I will continue to have her sit our dog as long as she’s willing, and recommend her highly!
We are fairly new to rover, this being our second time using a service like this we were a bit apprehensive after our first booking with another sitter was a total disaster. I am so glad that we decided to take a chance and book again. Jenny was absolutely fantastic, her communication with us was great. She provided photos and updates on our fur babies. She came for a meet and greet prior to our booking and was so kind and friendly. You can tell that she really loves animals and treats them as they are her own. Milo and Skye we very happy pups when we got home! Jenny kept our home just the way we left it. We will definitely book with Jenny again. Thank you Jenny for providing such great care! Best, TC
Corrina and Tracy were great. They took impeccable care of my two cats, one of which requires oral medication. They were very communicative and took lots of photos. I could tell they were well cared for and would happily use them again. Your pets will be in very caring and capable hands!
