Melissa sent periodic pics and updates of how our girl was doing, and was very accommodating as to drop off and pick up times. We would not hesitate to rebook with Melissa and highly recommend her for your fur babies.”

“Autumn was awesome. Her house was super dog friendly with a great backyard. She sent pictures of both my dogs during the day. We used her several times and each time my dogs would race out of the car into her house. She clearly is a dog loving person. Highly recommend.”


About: I grew up with all kinds of animals. If they have four legs, I pretty much enjoyed to be around. Zoos are my place to experience all breeds of life. I currently work from home. This has allowed me to have all the time needed to bond with pets. I also enjoy my 3 acres of space. I want to have it used by any pet who loves to roam outside. Just alot of space to entertain pets. My yard is not all fenced in. However its away from any sort of traffic. Very quite and alot of pet friendly homes. I can assure to put safety first at all cost.

“Best doggy babysitter in short notice! Would use her again! Charlie loved hanging with her other dogs.”


About: Throughout my life, I've been surrounded by dogs and cats. I understand their body language, I'm very affectionate with them, and that's why I feel they feel at home when they're with me. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule to always take care of your pets🥰 I easily adapt to your schedule just let me know in advance! I have a space for your dog and I’m always available to take him for walks as often as he wants! I appreciate your trust🥰

“Elizabeth and her family took such good care of our dog for the day. They provided a wonderful home with spacious backyard for him to run around with their golden retrievers, AND took him hiking in the snow (which our dog loves). We really appreciated Elizabeth accepting our booking request with pretty short notice as well. We definitely recommend Elizabeth!”


“I highly recommend Chrystyanna! She was very sweet and my dogs had a lot of play time. They came home tired and happy after their day with her. I also received very funny pictures of them which I loved. I would definitely rebook!”


About: I have been taking care of dogs for 4 years and I'm excited to continue my pet sitting journey on rover. I look forward to meeting your dog and treating them like part of the family! I am home full time so I can always be with your pet. I can do morning drop off any time after 7 and pick up at whatever time you need. I have a large yard with a 100ft dog runner. However if you or your dog are uncomfortable with the runner let me know and I can leash for bathroom breaks instead.

About: I owned and take care of dogs. My baby passed in May 10 year old Bernese mountain dog. I love animals and have researched for over 10 years on health care for animals. Rates can be discussed Will travel! I'm a stay at home worker. I have all days off. Some collecting of rents but other than that my time is spent hiking and walking. I currently own my own home. Clean as can be. There outside cats, sweet as pie. Reach out and I'm sure you'll my vibe. Christina!

About: I'll be honest, I am doing this because I need extra money. But I want to make extra money spending time with your pets because I love being around animals and I want to spend actual time with them giving them love, exercise, and a good time. I am able to spend actual time with them as I am a teacher and do not work during the summer. Animals deserve to be shown affection as much as possible throughout the day especially when a lot of their time is spent waiting for owners to come home. Don't let your pets wait around for you, give them someone to hangout with in the meantime! I love taking dogs on walks and hikes! I know how important it is for animals to be cared for meaning being fed, bathed, and given a good rubbin. If you have any questions, feel free to ask (: I am a teacher on summer break so I am fully available for your pets! I love to take them for walks and play with them. I care for pets by taking them for walks and to the bathroom based on their schedule at home. I love to play with dogs and give them rubs. I love making new dog friends.

About: I’ve had all kinds of pets growing up, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and some friendly neighborhood chickens. I love them all! I’ve been walking dogs since I was a freshman in high school and I don’t think i’ll ever get tired of it! I have a very flexible schedule since I only have a part time job, and I take quite a bit of work from this app :) I love taking walks, so I provide anywhere from two to four potty breaks or trips outside throughout the day. I also enjoy hiking and I like to bring pups with a bit more energy to tag along. I’m more than happy to stay in your home with your pets if discussed and my main concern is that your pets are happy, safe, and just like you left them.

About: Hi! As a lifelong dog lover and owner, I know how much your furry friends mean to you. I run an Airbnb specially designed for travelers with dogs—a true paradise for pups! My property is optimized with plenty of dog-friendly features to ensure both you and your pet have a comfortable, stress-free experience. I’m passionate about providing the best care for dogs, offering them a safe and loving environment where they can play, relax, and feel at home. Whether you need a sitter or a dog-friendly place to stay, I’m here to make life easier for you and your pup! My two Yorkies and their guests are blessed to have a human who is never too busy for them! I work from home full-time, but most of my work is self-directed and so I have ample time and opportunity to take dogs out pretty much whenever they want to go! We spend lots of time playing in the yard! The property is huge over 13 acres! We are set very very far back from the road which rarely has more than one car on it. The entire house is dog friendly, and we have ample room for walks and playtime.

About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve been working with animals for as long as I can remember! From hamsters to horses - I’ve cared for nearly any animal you can think of. I attended Norfolk Aggie, majoring in Animal Science. Since then, I’ve worked as a vet tech, groomer, and trainer. I currently work as a barn assistant and show photographer (yes, I’m happy to snap some cute pics!) Training is a massive aspect of pet care. It’s important to have a sitter that understands your goals, reinforces correct behaviors, and constantly works to improve. Aside from training, having expertise in many areas of pet care, along with having experience with many different species, breeds, and personality types allows me to confidently handle any situation. Not only do I offer top notch care - I’m a huge communicator! I send lots of updates and adorable photos. When booking with me, you will never have to worry or wonder what your pets are up to (Check in as often as you want! I encourage it!) I also offer bathing & nail trims! Please feel free to ask any questions, my priority is always the comfort of you and your furry friends. Looking forward to hearing from you! Aside from other clients and caring for the ponies, the majority of my days consist of editing. This allows me to be extremely flexible of when and where I work. Feel free to let me know exactly what you’re looking for, and we can come up with a plan! Every pet is unique, and needs different things! I tailor my visits to each individual animal. My goal is to create a happy and loving environment for your pets while you’re away, and earn your trust so you can leave your worries behind!

About: I’ve done rescue work on the side for a cat shelter, including medical fostering. I’ve worked for an emergency/specialty vet as a technician assistant. I have several reoccurring clients on & off of here. Love all pets! I have a 3 legged kitten and have done specialized care for kittens with eye issues and bottle fed kittens. I have no issues giving meds or helping with prescription diets. I have experience with bearded dragons and other reptiles as well. I can always send pics of my work! My labradoodle and his siblings somehow manage to befriend every dog we take care of and we always love new friends! I have plenty of references besides what is on here as well and there’s some before & afters of foster kittens I’ve done medical stuff with. I have 4 dogs of my own, a dorkie, a chihuahua, a labradoodle and a goldendoodle - we stay very active all the time. Walks, treats & playing, and my labradoodle loves to swim! My Labradoodle enjoys visiting people and it’s not uncommon for us to venture out just for a pup cup or a ride around town. I also have my rescue cats who I love! I’ve worked for an emergency/specialty vet along with a general practice vet and am always trying to further my education! Everyone is always leashed and I take my time depending on the animals abilities/etc when walking or playing. I’m more than familiar with litter boxes and etc and don’t mind spending time with pets. We always have time for socialization and visiting with people- I frequent some businesses that LOVE to see dogs!

“The best care for our two dogs! They came home happy and ready for a big sleep after a day of fun! Highly recommend!”


About: I’m a compassionate and dedicated animal lover with over 11 years of experience in pet care and farm management. From a young age, animals have been a central part of my life, and my love for them only continues to grow. Whether it’s through my own pets or helping friends and family, I’ve gained a wealth of knowledge and hands-on experience in animal care. I’m on a mission to create a rescue and horse stall that will not only offer a safe haven for animals but will also serve as a place for children with autism and special needs to experience the healing power of animal therapy. My goal is to create an environment where both animals and people can thrive, connecting through the unique bond that therapy animals offer. What I Offer I provide a range of services with your pet’s health and happiness as my top priority, including: • Nail care, grooming, and baths • Dog walking and pet sitting • Specially prepared homemade food tailored to your pet’s dietary needs I believe in offering care that goes beyond just the basics. Your pets will be treated like family, and I promise they will be in the best hands possible. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your pet’s needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to help! Thank you for trusting me with your furry family members. Please feel free to share your preferred schedule, here on rover and I’ll do my best to accommodate both your needs and your pup’s. Thank you. I have a partially fenced yard with a river in the back, and my two pups, Nala and Winchester, are here to keep your dog company—there will be plenty of activities and fun for your pup! For the safety and well-being of all pets in my care, I do require an up-to-date vaccination record for each pet. I also ask for a brief overview of your pet’s daily routine, so I can maintain their schedule and ensure they stay comfortable and happy during their time with us. Additionally, please feel free to share any important details, such as potential triggers, resource guarding tendencies, allergies, or anything else I should know. I’d love to also hear about their favorite treats, toys, and activities to make sure they have an enjoyable stay!
