About: In highschool I was very popular in my neighborhood from doing there dog nails, to dog sitting, over night stays, and even medications. Even back in high school I had a part time and school and still made sure the fur babies were taken care of. To this day I still dog sit for my neighbor. I also worked at a doggy daycare for about 6 months then i moved, I learned so much while I was there in that short period of time from learning to gain respect and how to control a group of 15+ dogs . And was in a animal science program in highschool with a mentorship at a clinic, then tried to go to college for my vet tech degree but too expensive(still paying that off). I also do have a very energetic German shepherd who I train every day she knows pretty much everything(sit, lay down, roll over,paw, other paw,high five, spin, heel, center, look, leave it, back up, and wait). I also dog sat for my boyfriend's coworker who had an older pointer who had a seziure not only did I comfort the dog but I called owner asap then vet, I then called off of work. Just because it's not my animal doesn't mean I will love them any less. But the take away from all that is I have a lot of experience in the animal department. I'm currently working part time and have a lot of free time on my hands and love being around animals . I only work wensday-saturday the other days I'm free. But as you can see with my profile I do have my own fur baby but my boyfriend never works nights or weekends so she won't be alone. For the pets at clients housing not only will I respond to you text asap even if I'm busy, I will also ask for guide lines and try to keep your dog on the schedule you have them on consistency is key, especially when a change like you leaving happens. I also am a big over thinker so before I let the dog out if you have a yard I will always make sure the gates are close and secure and make sure there's nothing laying out that would harm them. When I dog sit I imagine as if it's my own dog.

Ona stayed with our sweet but reactive dog while we were away on vacation for 5 days. It went great! We felt our dog was very well cared for. Ona was easy to communicate with and she went above and beyond with house/pet sitting duties. I hope she'll come back again!

Rico did a great ?? job taking care of all 6 of my dogs, 5 of which are large. He was attentive to their individual needs as rescues recovering from abusive origin homes. And, he saved the day when he agreed to be our sitter for a long weekend after someone else had flaked on us at the last minute. Thank you for being willing to drive 2 hrs, say yes at last minute and keeping my pack safe, happy and healthy while I was away!

I can’t say enough great things about Camille! From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. She gave lots of love, attention, and playtime—and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Camille is reliable, kind, and professional—we will absolutely be booking again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch care. ★★★★★

About: I have been breeding dogs since 2019 and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of various sizes, temperaments, and needs. Through breeding, grooming, and working closely with professional trainers and groomers in my network, I’ve developed a strong understanding of dog behavior, coat care, and handling techniques. I have groomed dogs through referrals and word of mouth and am very familiar with proper care, structure, and maintaining a calm environment. My background in the fire service has strengthened my reliability, attention to detail, and commitment to community trust. I take dog welfare seriously and treat every dog as if they were my own. I provide a safe, calm, and structured environment in my home with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. Dogs are always monitored, never left unattended outside, and introductions are done slowly and safely. I’m experienced with crate training and can crate dogs if needed or requested. Cleanliness, routine, and each pet’s individual comfort and safety are always my top priorities.

About: Dog sitting was my first job as a teenager. My mom actually gave me the idea to start because she never wanted to have a pet, so this was such a fun compromise! Since then I’ve dog sat for small, medium and large dogs! I myself am an active person and love to be active with a furry friend! It’s nice to have company on a walk run or even someone to explore new parks with! I work full time but my schedule is fairly flexible! I am a therapist and have ability to work from home at times as long as I am not in a session or scheduled to run group therapy! I am happy to stay at your home and care for your pet with the instructions you give! I am happy to walk, play, pet, feed and clean up after your dog.

Words cannot express how highly we think of Emily. We have used her often and she is fantastic but during the recent stay she went above and beyond. She identified that our dog was having a medical emergency, she took him to urgent care and then drove an hour and a half each way to get a prescription that he urgently needed (it was not available locally). She may literally have saved his eyesight. We will always be grateful for Emily and five stars is not nearly a high enough rating.

David is the first sitter we have used on Rover for our dogs and cat, while we were away for the weekend. He is phenomenal; our nervous pups took to him immediately and I got pics of relaxed, cuddling dogs - and our GSD is not typically a cuddler so this was even more remarkable. All the pets were calm and happy when we came home. He took great care of our home as well. We will definitely rebook! We are very happy with his care.

I would highly recommend her, and definitely would invite her to sit for me again. Thank you !

Madeline took wonderful care of Dottie Mae and June Bug while we were away. She provided consistent communication throughout their stay and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind and let us see how happy and well cared for they were. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dogs and treated them like her own. We came home to two happy, relaxed pups, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Madeline was a fantastic caretaker, and we will absolutely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!

They latched on to her upon her arrival for the weekend as well. I don’t even think they noticed we left, they were so captivated by Ashlynn. Great communication during the stay. We will definitely book with Ashlynn again if she is available.
