“Another fantastic visit by Cheryl. I received pictures of all the dogs multiple times. Knowing that my animals are safe with Cheryl gives me peace of mind to be able to travel.”


“Calvyn was a fantastic sitter for two very different pups--one an energetic young shepherd and the other a lazy old boy. It was obvious he had the dogs' best interests at heart (a thunderstorm rolled through and he even took the initiative to ask if there was anything that would make them more comfortable) and checked in regularly. He was also the perfect house guest and left the house in better shape than he found it. I'd have Calvyn over to sit again in a heartbeat, and know the dogs would as well!”


“Michelle was great!!! My fur babies instantly gravitated towards her (that gave me peace of mind which isn't easy). She kept in touch, followed instructions and everything was as I'd left it. This was a a trial run prior to a longer stay coming up. Thank you Michelle for making them and me feel comfortable!!!”


“This was the first time we used a house sitter thru Rover.com and the experience with Jordyn B. was outstanding. We received regular updates and photos and the three dogs; Raylan (2 years), Riley (one year), and Olive (14 years) really seemed to enjoy her and being able to stay in friendly environs. I can recommend Jordyn wholeheartedly and we will definitely use her again when we are out of town and need a sitter..”


“Cierra did a wonderful job caring for our pets and our house! She was communicative, did her best to make friends with our shy kitty, and kept our high energy pup entertained. We will definitely book with her again.”


About: I am a work from home mom who loves pet sitting. I started this journey a few years ago, and has had the privilege of hosting several dogs of all ages, personalities and sizes. My children absolutely love animals, especially dogs, so there will be lots of cuddles and love from us. I take dog sitting very seriously, so I am very careful, and I always aim to please my pet parents, so I am always sending pictures, videos, and making sure your baby is happy and well taken care of. I am big on staying fit and healthy, so I take daily walks to get my steps in. I am very accommodating, so nothing is ever too much for me. I’ve had pet parents ask me to scramble eggs for their fur babies and put it on top of their dog food, and I’ve also had pet parents tell me to only feed their fur baby with a spoon, so please don’t hesitate to ask for any special request, because I aim to please! I work from home during the week and I have lots of down-time allowing me to interact and play with your fur baby . I am off during weekends and holidays I have a big house with an unfenced yard, and a loving family that will play and love on your fur baby. We will take daily walks, play outdoors, and have lots of play time and cuddles.

“Kaitlin took such great care of our new puppy Emmy in a pinch. Not only did Kaitlin watch her but she took the time to give cuddles, snapped photos, and played with her as well! We are so grateful and would absolutely use her services again. Highly recommend!”

“Katlyn was such a pleasure! She was lovely with the dogs, sent pictures, and went the extra mile to make sure that we were comfortable leaving our babies in her care! Would highly recommend her and will DEFINITELY rebook her if we ever need to! ❤️”


“Melissa and her family are great!! We have a challenging puppy and she can give anyone a run for their money. Melissa was up for the challenge and handled our girl in stride. She was great with communication before and during the stay. Melissa checked in daily with photos and reports of our girls behavior and progress. We brought her home tired out and thats pretty hard to do with a 9 month old bloodhound. We appreciate Melissa and will definitely be using her again. 100% Recommend!!”

About: i! I'm Harleigh – your pet’s new best friend! 🐾 Caring for animals is more than a job to me—it's part of who I am. I’m currently raising my energetic puppy and my sweet, independent 2-year-old cat, and every day with them reminds me how much joy, patience, and love animals bring into our lives. With a young pup, I’ve learned all about the importance of routine, playtime, and positive reinforcement. And thanks to my cat, I understand the beauty of quiet companionship, respecting space, and the occasional 3 a.m. zoomies! 😅 Whether your pet is a high-energy cuddle bug, a curious explorer, or a shy soul who needs gentle care, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at home. I treat every animal as if they were my own—with kindness, respect, and lots of belly rubs (if they’re into that!). Let’s give your pet a new friend they’ll wag or purr about! 💛 I’m currently working part time, so I have extra free time right now until school starts up! I’m fairly open and am willing to work around your schedule☺️ I can’t wait to meet your wonderful babies! I understand just how much your furry friends mean to you. Whether you're away for a weekend or just need a helping hand during a busy day, I’m here to give your pets the same love, attention, and care they get from you. From playful pups to cuddly cats—and everything in between—I provide a safe, comfortable, and fun experience tailored to each pet's personality and routine. I believe in gentle care, regular updates for peace of mind, and lots of belly rubs and tail wags! Your pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. And when they’re with me, they’re part of mine too. 🐾💛

About: I have taken care of every kind of animal since I was 12. Goats, dogs, pigs, horses, you name it! I just can not get enough animals in my life. I was also a dog groomer in the past! I am currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to love on your pet and give them the quality time they deserve and need. I am always cautious and sure to keep your pet or pets safe by listening to instructions you have or using instinct I have gained from experience.

About: We live with two beautiful pups and grew up with both dogs, cats, and even horses and livestock. Our experience with all is plentiful. Pets especially love our friendly nature, kind voice, and active lifestyle for a robust playtime. My husband and I currently work remotely full time, which has given us the ability to pet-sit for friends and family locally and even in different states! When I lived in NYC I walked up to six dogs at a time for about a year. We have a fenced yard for playtime, a sidewalk and dog park for walks and playtime. There is no food or trash to accidentally get into as everything is made to be pet safe.

About: What sets me apart from everyone else is that I’m calm and patient with every animal, and I’m very for keep my own animals fit and health, I will do the same for your I currently work from home and have more time to do drop ins and boardings. I don’t mind doing work from home from your home as well, just need to know in advance I am currently in the process of getting a fence put in, so I have plenty of space for your pup to run around in. I also have plenty of toys, due to having a German Sheppard mix

Christina A.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Christina take care of my two dogs, Moose and Ollie, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, Christina's genuine love for animals was evident. She immediately connected with both Moose and Ollie, making them feel comfortable and secure. Throughout the entire time I was away, Christina provided regular updates with photos and detailed messages, reassuring me that my dogs were in the best hands. Her attention to detail and dedication to their well-being were truly outstanding. Moose, who can be a bit anxious, seemed completely at ease under her care, and Ollie, with his boundless energy, had plenty of playtime and exercise. Christina went above and beyond to ensure my home was kept tidy and my dogs were happy and healthy. Her professionalism, kindness, and expertise were exceptional. I highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you, Christina, for taking such wonderful care of Moose and Ollie!”
