“Misty was great! This was the second visit door my animals and she sent pictures and updates. She makes me confident in who I’m trusting, I will definitely be keeping her around when needed!”
“This is our first time using Ashley to let our dog out in the middle of the day. She is fantastic! Our dog is weary of strangers and Ashley handled the situation really well- she went at his pace and spent some extra time with him. She sent a lot of photos and a detailed description of her time with Rowan. I would definitely use her again!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life! I absolutely love them and would treat any animal like it was my own. My black lab sleeps in our bed at night and she loves to run outside multiple times a day. I am a full-time stay at home mom with my young son. We have time throughout our week for multiple walks to get fresh air. We have a black lab, Willow, who is five. She was my first baby and is loved unconditionally. I would treat any animal with the same kind of love.
“Vince is the absolute best. I am so lucky to have picked Vince the moment o started using Rover to schedule walks for Daisy. I cannot imagine scheduling with a different walker for as long as Vince is available!”

About: Hello! My name is kayla I have been working In animal care for 7 years I have worked closely with veterinarians, vet techs and animal care technicians to become the qualified animal care worker I am today. I have experience with dogs, cats and other farm/ exotic pets. I have cared for special needs, puppies, kittens and senior pets. I strive to give pets the love and attention they need. I always try my best to follow owner requests as I am here to make the experience as fun and comfortable as possible! I am self employed and my schedule is based on how many pets I have booked to care for and their feeding and care schedules. I care for pets in their own home just as their owner would like me to, I can provide walks, playtime, cuddle time feeding etc. I always ensure each pet is cared for as uniquely as they are!
“Ashlee did a great job helping to wear out out dog during the day. She arrived when expected and always sent a picture from the walk. And she was flexible with the number and duration of the walks needed. I'll be happy to have her help out in the future.”
About: Hi, I'm Meredith! I am an experienced, caring, and trustworthy petsitter. But don't take my word for it! Here's what others have said: "Meredith truly cared about my pets, and I felt completely at ease being away. As someone who’s very picky about who takes care of my dogs, I can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter." "Meredith brought peace of mind, warmth, and reliability to our home. I’d trust her with our pets anytime." "Her calm energy and loving nature were exactly what our anxious rescue needed." "Meredith was fantastic. She cared for our home and animals as if they were her own." I’d love the opportunity to care for YOUR pets and your home! Animals have always been a central part of my life. I grew up in a house full of beloved cats and dogs, and I’ve raised several pets of my own as an adult, so caring for animals is truly second nature. I started pet sitting professionally in my 20s and recently returned to it with renewed passion and dedication. I now have over 7 years of direct pet-sitting experience and a lifetime of hands-on care with animals of all ages, temperaments, and personalities. As a responsible, organized, and nurturing high school English teacher with 20 years in the classroom, I bring calm attentiveness and excellent communication to every sit. I’m also a devoted mom to two kind-hearted, respectful animal lovers (ages 8 and 11), who may occasionally accompany me depending on the arrangement. If they do, rest assured they are gentle, supervised, and bring extra love to the experience. Whether it's administering medication to a senior pet, giving special attention to a rescue, or sticking to your pet’s unique routines and needs, I approach every sit with genuine care and commitment. I’m also experienced in basic training, gentle leash walking, and giving animals the calm, consistent presence they need to feel safe. If you have houseplants, I’ve got you covered there, too. I worked in my family’s garden center for years and enjoy keeping plants healthy and thriving. While I’m newer to this platform, I take each sit seriously and treat every home and pet with the utmost respect. I do not smoke, drink, or use drugs of any kind, and I always bring my own groceries and supplies. Communication is clear before, during, and after the stay, and you'll receive regular updates to give you peace of mind. I’m in a meaningful season of transition and using this time to do something I genuinely enjoy: caring for animals while exploring new places. This work blends my love of travel and nurturing in a way that reflects my values. If you feel we might be a good fit, I’d love to connect virtually or in person, when possible. Looking forward to meeting you and your beloved companions! Pet care is a natural, joyful part of my everyday rhythm. As a longtime teacher and mom, I’m used to creating routines that are structured yet flexible, making it easy to adapt to the unique needs of each pet and home. Whether it’s morning walks, medication schedules, mealtime routines, or play and snuggle time, I build my days around ensuring animals feel safe, loved, and cared for. Because I’m in a season of life where I have more flexibility, I’m able to be fully present with the pets I care for and enjoy giving them plenty of attention, consistency, and calm companionship throughout the day. It’s more than just a task in my routine; it’s a grounding and fulfilling part of my life that I genuinely enjoy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the routines and environment your pet already knows and loves. I follow all instructions closely, whether that means administering medications, preparing special meals, sticking to walk schedules, or providing quiet companionship. I aim to create a calm, consistent atmosphere that feels safe and nurturing, so your pet can relax while you're away. Also, I treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. I’m clean, organized, and attentive to details, and I always communicate clearly throughout the sit to keep you informed and at ease. If my well-behaved, animal-loving children (ages 8 and 11) accompany me, it’s only with prior agreement, and they are gentle, respectful, and supervised at all times. Above all, I care for each animal as if they were my own, with patience, love, and a genuine commitment to their well-being.
About: I have had animals all my life. I grew up with large dogs and indoor cats. Currently on the farm, I have 3 dogs, 2 horses, chickens, ducks, and a barn cat! Our pets are family and yours will be too! I am available for drop in visits daily. I can do boarding at my home anytime. There is always someone home to care for the animals. I have an 8 acre property with plenty of room for dogs to run and play. Dogs can be leashed if needed, but will be watched 24/7 when outside. Dogs will be in the comfort of the home hanging out freely when not outside.
About: Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets short-term and for extended stays for years, and I’ve cared for multiple pets of my own over the years. I’m currently working full time remotely at home, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets either at my home or in the comfort of yours! I have a fenced in yard, cameras, and a cat that is friendly and welcoming. She’d love to keep your fur babies company while visiting! In your home, I’m happy to follow any and all rules set to make you and your baby comfortable.
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for decades and love connecting with animals and making sure they have what they need. In addition to my own pets, I've worked as a pet-sitter, dog-walker, and spent time volunteering in animal sanctuaries and rescue groups around the country. I am as comfortable working with playful young pups and kittens as I am working with senior pets who may need extra help and gentle care. I am the mother of two and a freelance writer, and I also run a small herbal medicine practice. Pet care works well for me because my schedule is flexible and I can work around your pets' needs. I provide care within your own home, and I understand that pets are family; so establishing trust and providing responsible care with frequent communication is of utmost importance to me.
“So professional and helpful!! Highly recommend! David really went above and beyond, taking JuneBug on a nice long walk down along the river, and including lots of photos of her smiling face.”
About: I have had a full house of pets since I was a small child, and am excited to be able to care for more since leaving my animals at home with my family for college. I am a college student who is also on a competitive ice skating team, but have plenty of free time for your dogs/cats! I have large spaces during the day and early evening :) While I don't have a home to house your pets in, I will follow all of your specific instructions in caring for your animals in your home

“Brooke is the only person I trust with my fur baby! She’s incredibly kind, reliable, and attentive, treating Milo as if he were her own. It’s such a comforting feeling knowing your pet is in the hands of someone who genuinely cares. Milo absolutely adores her (maybe even more than me!), and it’s so clear how much love and attention she gives to the pets she cares for. Plus, since she works from home, her availability is fantastic. I truly couldn’t recommend her more!”

Rachel B.
“Rachel does an awesome job caring for my dog Brody. He looks forward to going to her house and being a part of her family. She has in the past stayed at my house and cared for my two cats and Brody. I can leave and know that they are well loved and cared for. Before she had a family, she use to go and house sit for lots of different people in the area. She has always loved animals and so does her daughter Callie who is 8. So you actually get two for the price of one.”

Miyu Y.

They bonded right away, and she kept me updated the entire time with the sweetest photos and messages. I felt completely at ease knowing my baby was in such good hands. Miyu is attentive, caring, and treats every pet with love and respect. I’d absolutely have her help again if I hadn’t moved away. I would happily recommend her to take care of your furry friends!”

Morgan V.
“From the time Morgan was very little, she has been constantly surrounded by furry friends! Before she went off to college, she lived with 4 dogs, 3 cats, 3 rabbits, a tortoise and a sugar glider so she is well versed in the pet world! She is attentive to animals needs and has a soft spot for all those with 4 legs. I have not hesitated to leave our pets with her, always knowing they were in good hands! She is one of the most mature and responsible young adults that I know. I also know that her recent move away to school has her missing her pets back at home and would spend extra time loving on your pets when she is with them.”
