“We are so lucky to have found Crystal. She is responsive, reliable, and goes beyond the minimum to ensure your pets are safe and happy. Our pups love her!”


“Elizabeth does a great job watching our two dogs. She updates us on how they are doing and makes sure they get lots of love while we are away traveling. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Imani did a great job house-sitting and watching my cat, Penny! She provided updates everyday and was quick to respond to messages! She left the place spotless and Penny loved her! I would definitely recommend her and will be reaching out to her again in the future!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 10 years, mostly my own (now senior) dogs. I also had a dog who was special needs (partially blind and deaf), and unfortunately passed 3 years ago. I am always open to taking care of your pets! I’m normally the most free every day but Wednesday and do not mind spending the night with your pets! I cannot currently house pets in my own home, but I’m always free to stay at your home! I drive, so only staying for a few hours at a time is also okay. Since I have senior dogs, they often “forget” they went outside, so frequent potty breaks (including in the night) is a must. I also give my dogs medication, so if your pup needs oral medication, I am 100% okay with that.
“Could not ask for a better pet sitter, Bethany took exceptional care of our two dogs while we were on a four day trip. Kept us continually updated, Porche and Lexi were in great hands, loved the care she provided and Bethany kept us updated on their status throughout. Her attention to details and care of both pets and home were exceptional. We will be a repeat customer - Thank You”


“SO greatful for Stella! She was incredibly communicative and reliable—our dog was so happy with her while we were away. A literal dream come true for my anxious-brain; Stella was the best pet sitter I’ve ever employed. We will be using her exclusively moving forward and highly recommend her to anyone searching for someone who truly cares about your animal and will allow you invaluable peace of mind while you’re away.”

“Cecilia is a great dogsitter! She’s very communicative, which helped me to feel at ease leaving my dog with her while I was gone. She followed all of the instructions I left and took great care of Murph and my apartment.”

About: I've housesat and taken care of dogs for friends and family members since I was a kid. I've been told I have an energy that animals really respond to. I can no longer have a pet of my own, and I miss my dog every day, I just want to be around dogs again, and help out pet parents. I just opened a bar on my own so it is practically impossible for me to have a dog full time, but my schedule is also flexible enough where I could make sure to give a lot of attention to a dog on a part time basis. I am happy to watch a dog at your home or mine, I have a fenced yard and plenty of parks and trails nearby to walk around.
“Christiane was a pleasure to work with during her stay. She was polite and responsive. Our dog, Moe, was well-loved and comfortable in her care. Our house was spotless when she left! We will use her again!”

“I had Abigail come to my house to sit my 3 dogs while i was on vacation. She did great with my babies and took time to make them feel more comfortable with her. She even met with me beforehand to meet the dogs which put me more at ease with using her. Abigal is trustworthy and she was respectful of my belongings. She also brought in my packages and took up my garbage cans which was a huge help. I'll definitely use her services again in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for family and friends for as long as I can remember. I love going on walks and seeing new parts of the city and would love to have a companion on my adventures. Our family dog passed a little over a year ago and I miss having a pet in my life. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I am currently on summer break from work and would love to take care of your pet in my free time. My schedule is fairly open and flexible. I have a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood and own a crate if needed for their comfort. I foster dogs so I have raised food and water dishes, a bed, and other essentials to make their stay comfortable.
“We seriously can’t say enough good things about Ryan! This was our very first time using Rover, so we were already a little nervous about leaving our house and two very attention-needy fur babies in someone else’s hands. To make things even more stressful, our original sitter canceled at the last minute right before our trip. Thankfully, Ryan came to the rescue and was an absolute lifesaver! From the start, she was incredibly kind, responsive, and flexible, which immediately helped ease our nerves. She kept in great communication and sent photo updates throughout our trip, and it was such a relief knowing our babies and our home were being so well taken care of. She was also extremely respectful of our house, responsible, and genuinely thoughtful in how she approached everything. Our two fur babies definitely aren’t shy about demanding attention, so finding someone we felt comfortable leaving them with meant a lot to us! Ryan made what could have been a really stressful experience so much easier, and we were actually able to relax and enjoy our time away. We’re so grateful that things worked out the way they did because we couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience! We would absolutely book with Ryan again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. Thank you so much, Ryan!!”


About: We had three dogs growing up. I’ve had three of my own as well. I am currently the go to sitter for my best friend’s dog. I’ve cared for dogs in extreme health situations/have seen just about everything. I’m great with dogs/love spending time with them. I also work remotely and am available to come and pet sit. I am open to potentially boarding, but I would have to talk to my landlords first. I work from home, with two thirty minute breaks. I do not start until 10:30 and can do morning walks or feeding. I’m off at 6:30 and can do evening walks or feeding as well. I’ve had a full range of experience caring for my dogs over the years. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding and basic grooming. I also have experience with a wide variety of medications and have no problem giving supplements or medication at your direction. Since I work remotely, as long as there is some desk space to set up and Internet service, I can stay over any day of the week if needed. I consider myself a good communicator and am happy to send updates or answer any questions you may have.

About: Hi! My name is Brittany, I’m 34 years old and I’ve been around dogs my entire life, caring for them has always come naturally to me. From playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention, I understand that every dog has their own unique personalities and needs. I recently said goodbye to my beloved Shih Tzu after many wonderful years together, and while I miss having a dog of my own every day, it reminded me just how much joy I get from spending time with them. After more than 14 years in the service industry, I’ve developed a strong sense of reliability, attentiveness, and communication, and my new job with shorter shifts gives me the flexibility to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your furry family member with the same love, patience, and care I’d want for my own. My flexible work schedule allows me plenty of time throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and giving pets the attention and companionship they deserve. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for your pet feels less like a task and more like something I genuinely love doing. Whether it’s maintaining their normal routine, providing extra cuddles, or simply keeping them company while you’re away, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I focus on keeping them comfortable, happy, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, or extra attention and patience. I recently cared for my own Shih Tzu through health challenges, which gave me experience with administering medications, being attentive to changing needs, and providing extra love and patience for a pet who needed it most. I understand that your home is your pet’s safe space, and I’ll treat both your pet and your home with the same respect and care I would my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Alyssa was a wonderful sitter for my two dogs! She was very responsive and reached out when she had questions. I even got photo updates of the dogs! I will be using Alyssa again on my next trip in a few weeks.”


About: I grew up with dogs and have always loved animals! I've been a pet and house sitter for friends and family for over a decade, and I'll show the same care for your pet and space that you do! I work evenings so I would have availability in the morning and early afternoon. I would also be available for pet care full time on the weekends. I will always make sure your pet gets the full attention and care they deserve! Your home will be left just as clean as I found it, and I will treat it with respect.
About: My connection with animals involves compassion, patience and communication. I have experience taking dogs for walks and home sitting with pets for an extended period. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pet care part-time. I’m generally most available on weekends, with additional availability throughout the week. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions and respect the pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks and any other needs they might have.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carthage
Ryan did a great job with our two pups! We were gone for about a week and got lots of pictures which made us feel better about being away. Both the house and dogs were well taken care of and we definitely recommend Ryan if you’re looking for a reliable dog sitter.

Crystal was absolutely fabulous; she went above and beyond to provide phenomenal care for our Golden. Crystal is conscientious, thorough, and very competent. She doted on Dawson throughout the days she stayed in our home, sent constant updates and photos and kept our very energetic pup entertained. Crystal was a very courteous house guest as well. I highly recommend Crystal .
Nichole is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She took care of our two huskies with love, excellence, and attention to detail. She went above and beyond giving them stimulation and exercise and left our home spotless. Genuinely such a lovely person. We are so grateful for your amazing work, Nichole!

Patrice was awesome! She came for a meet and greet and the dogs loved her from the start. On the day we left she arrived on time and communicated frequently and effectively. We appreciated the photos and messages she sent and the dogs were happy. We will definitely ask her to watch them again!

Olivia was wonderful with our two dogs. One of them unexpectedly needed medication during the time we were going to be on vacation and Olivia had no problem accommodating us at the last minute. Knowing that she was taking great care not only of our dogs, but of our house as well, gave us the peace of mind to be able to actually enjoy our time away. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Eric was incredible. He accepted our last minute request and came over with a great attitude and was very professional. And our dog LOVED him, we could tell right away that Eric is a dog person. Great experience with Eric, would definitely hire again!

Lauryn took excellent care of Bailey and our home. We had an emergency at the house while Lauryn was watching Nailey overnight. She handle the issue responsiblyy, communicating with us and handling items until my husband could get home. She clearly went above and beyond. I would definitely ask Lauryn to watch Bailey again.

Cara did a fantastic job taking care of our home and dog for a week. Our house was spotless and our dog was so happy and calm when we came home. She is not only responsible and great with communication, she is also a lovely person. She even left us a sweet note. We will definitely use her again!
