“Sawyer was great- able to jump in for a short notice trip and did a great job communicating about how the visits with our cat were going. We were very appreciative and would definitely recommend!”
“Tom watched my cat while I was on vacation during a week. When I returned, my cat was in a good mood and looked very happy. Tom took care of the food, cat litter and even fixed the water fountain. We are grateful for his attention to our requests and reliability.”

About: I’m a dog person! I love meeting new dogs and spending time with them. I’ve taken care of dogs off and on for 20 years (not including my own). I currently have a rat terrier mix - Roxie - who LOVES dog friends and is very playful. I’m a big walker and have experience with dogs on trails as well as in neighborhoods. I’d take care of your dog like my own. Most of my experience is for extended stay house-sitting for families with multiple dogs. I’m not able to have cats in my apartment, but love meeting cats in their own space and would be sure they were well loved and taken care of in your absence. I work from home full-time and have a very flexible schedule which allows me to be available most times of the day. I can work around complicated calendars! I have a fenced yard and a VERY friendly rat-terrier mix named Roxie. For house sitting, Roxie can come with me or stay behind, but she’s great with dogs off all sizes and I’m very careful when bringing her into another dog’s space.
About: I don’t just care for pets, I truly listen to them, bringing calm and steady energy and cater to each animal to make them feel safe and understood. No matter how busy my day gets, I always make sure there’s dedicated time for the pets I care for. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just some quiet attention, they’re a priority and I’m fully present with them. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to keep their routine as normal as possible. I give them plenty of attention, stick to their feeding and exercise schedule, and create a calm, safe environment where they feel comfortable. I treat their home, and them, with respect, just like they’re my own.
“Thank you, Jolene, for checking in on my two cats over a holiday weekend with a last minute booking! Jolene’s communication and timing was excellent. While checking on the cats, she filled their bowls, gave them treats, and brushed them. I appreciated her time and attention!”
“Kristina made it so much easier and stress-free for me to leave town for a few days. She was thorough, on time, and provided great updates after every visit taking care of Curtis and Rhys. I also appreciate how accommodating Kristina was with her schedule and so open in her communication. Will definitely have her take care of the kitties again in the future.”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life! My best memories are bringing them to lakes growing up and playing in the water with them! I’m currently working full-time but I want to help take care of your pets on the side! After 6pm on weekdays work, along with any time on the weekend with a notice! Smoke-free apartment unit and a lot of walking trails around! I can accommodate to anyone’s living environment! I love going to parks with my dog.
About: I have had multiple dogs and cats throughout my lifetime! I am a responsible, kind, friendly caregiver who would give your pet all the love and attention they need. I am a school teacher who is off for summer vacation! I am available for regular or one-time visits whenever is convenient for you and your pet. Not only will I care for your pet, but I will also care for your home and respect and follow all the directions you supply.
About: I've grown up on a ranch taking care of all sorts of animals including many dogs and cats! Now I have only one special puppy that I'm training to perform service work and a sassy elderly cat. I use positive reinforcement training to make sure any pups I interact with learn polite behaviors and are rewarded with plenty of love and scritches! I'd love to introduce Cleo to your dog for play time and enrichment so that they will be nice and tired for you when you get home :) I'm currently taking a hiatus from working to pursue hobbies, including training and competing with my dog. I have a very flexible schedule and am willing to work around any changes that might come up. I live in an apartment with a dog park. I have a rambunctious yet docile Bernese Mountain Dog that is a year and a half old that your dog can hang out with while they are here. I also have a crate if needed.
About: In the past 4 years, my husband started working at a dog daycare, and our home became even more pet-friendly—we’re fully immersed in the dog world now. I often take care of pets while their humans are away or traveling, and sometimes our place becomes their temporary home for a few hours. I don’t work full-time with pups, but every gap in my schedule is a perfect excuse to spend time with furry friends. It’s truly one of my favorite things to do! I’m currently available full-time, which means I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pup when you need it most! Whether it’s walks, or quick visits, I’m here to help—especially on weekends and after 2pm on weekdays. While I don’t have a yard, I make up for it with safe and energizing walks that help your pup release energy and stay happy!
About: Dogs and cats have always been a part of my family. My husband and I currently have three rescue dogs. I am patient & kind, but firm—qualities I developed over 24 years as a first-grade teacher. I respect that everyone (people and animals) has unique qualities and needs. When friends and family go away, I always care for their dogs. I work part-time, so I have a lot of availability to care for your pets. Whether your pets need walks, playtime, feedings, or overnight care, I'm here for you. My three dogs have the run of the house, but they don't like to share, so I will come to your home to care for your fur baby.
About: I have loved and trained my own dogs (Maltese, Labrador, Rescue Mix and Golden Retriever) for the past 20+ years and have also taken care of, loved and helped friends with their pets and their pet sitting needs for a lot longer. I'd be happy to help you with your fur baby and will treat them as my own. I am currently working remotely in my home full time for the foreseeable future and would love to be able to help someone locally with their pet(s). I would love to play with your pet, walk them, give them fresh water, give them lots of scratches and attention - whatever you would normally do for them, I'd be willing to step in and help in your absence. Lights on? Lights off? Special treats? Let me know!
About: You can catch me talking to my dog on our walks. I have owned 2 Pugs in the last 8 years to whom I refer to as "my children". Dogs to me are meant to be part of the family and not just pets and I will make sure to treat yours as so <3 I work full time during the week and will be available for dog walking and visits after 6pm. On weekends I have full availability. I can always bring my dog to house visits and walks if socializing is wanted, otherwise I will come alone. Anytime someone cares for my dog I can't stop thinking about how is he doing? Does he seem comfortable? I will make sure you are well aware of how your baby is doing under my care and be completely transparent by sharing updates as requested.
About: I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family for years because I am reliable, responsible and treat all people and animals with care and respect. My background in fitness helps fortify me for pet handling, walking and play time. I work mornings as a personal trainer in the area so I am available Tuesday Thursday and Friday from 1-4 pm and Wednesday from 10 am-4pm In your home, I make sure that the pet gets attention, love and playtime as well as food and water. I believe each visit should be fully dedicated to the pets enjoyment and safety. When walking, I am highly cognizant of your pets comfort so collars and harnesses must fit well and not cause physical distress. I use opportunities during the walk to practice basic commands with your pet so they can learn and grow as we walk!
“Sara was a great pet sitter for our dogs and cats. She was very responsive and went the extra mile offering to make some rice for one of our dogs when she wasn't feeling well. Luckily our dog was feeling much better by the end of the day. She communicated with pictures after every visit. I highly recommend her and we will call on her again the next time we have a need for a sitter.”

Michelle T.
“I’ve watched her grow up with a real love for animals and a natural sense of empathy. She’s always been gentle, patient, and caring, even as a kid. I think animals can pick up on that kind of energy because I can’t recall a single bad experience that she’s had with them. She genuinely cares about their well being and treats them with respect, which makes her a great pet caretaker.”

Susan M.
“I have no doubt that Susan will serve Rover.com as a top dog walker and pet care taker. Susan has taken care of my many pets over the last forty years.Most recently, she took care of my rescue,Jackson who had severe anxiety issues. He didn't warm up to many people, but Susan was his favorite. Only because of Susan were we able to vacation and travel. I always felt confident that Jackson was well taken care of and happy. Susan always went the extra mile for him.My husband and I lived 40 minutes away from Susan, but she always picked him up and dropped him off. I would hire Susan in a heartbeat to care for any of my pets.”
Jessica B.
“Jessica is a fantastic dog sitter! We were in a pinch and needed someone to watch our Golden Retriever, Emma, on a Saturday night. We were so lucky to have Jessica. Emma felt right at home and Jessica made sure she was comfortable and happy. I’ll never forget she sent us a picture of Emma that night and she was smiling having such a good time. It really made my night so see my dog happy. I could never put her in a kennel. Thanks Jessica- for taking such good care of our baby… we will definitely be calling you when we go on another trip!”

She made sure he got plenty of exercise and mental stimulation allowing him to pause and smell the smells when he wanted. She even sent photos! She obviously loves animals and enjoys spending time with them. She is a caring professional.”
