About: I’ve been pet sitting for many years and truly love caring for animals of all kinds. With plenty of experience, I understand how important it is to keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m dependable, flexible with scheduling, and always willing to work with you to meet your pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, medication, or just keeping your furry friend company, I’m here to help! I work a full-time rotating schedule where I’m on for 7 days straight and then off for 7 days. My work week always starts on a Thursday and ends on a Wednesday. During those 7 workdays, I’m working full-time each day. After that, I get a full week off to rest and take care of personal things. It’s a repeating cycle—7 days on, 7 days off—so every other week I’m either working or completely off I pet sit because I genuinely love what I do — and animals love me back. Their comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. When pets stay with me in my home, they become part of the family. I make sure every animal is well-fed, always has fresh water, and most importantly — plenty of playtime and affection. They get a safe, loving environment where they can relax and feel right at home. When I care for pets in your home, I follow all instructions to the letter — from feeding and medication routines to special care details. I send regular photo updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Respecting your space and your pet’s routine is always a priority. Whether they’re staying with me or I’m staying with them, your pet gets the same thing: love, attention, and top-notch care.
“Carol was great! She sent pictures and updates of our girl. She left our house in great shape and even washed our sheets! We’re so grateful, having just moved here, to have a trusted Dogsitter! Thanks again, Carol! You’ll be our go to from now on!”
About: I grew up taking care of our dogs with my family ranging in size from a 15 pound Shih Tzu, to a Cocker Spaniel and even to a fully grown English Mastiff. Now as an adult I have an 80 pound brindle pit bull who is very lovable and out going. Pit Bulls are known to have allergies and sometimes bad ears, so I have dealt with medicine application as well. I absolutely love dogs and enjoy taking care of them! I'm an on-time and focused person and have a fun and lovable personality. I also have my cell phone on me at all times, so I am very easy to get ahold of. I'm available mornings and evenings pretty much at any time, as I have a very flexible schedule. I am very much looking forward to caring for your pets!
“Courtney was absolutely incredible! She accommodated our last-minute booking with such grace and professionalism. From the start, her communication was clear, timely, and reassuring—which made us feel so comfortable. Most importantly, our pups were so well taken care of and came home happy and relaxed. We’re beyond grateful for her kindness, flexibility, and the genuine love she showed our dogs. Highly recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
About: I've worked at an animal shelter and grown up with all sorts of animal personalities! Whether your pet is a people person or a hider, I'll accommodate what they need. I'm between jobs right now and want to do something while everyone is still going on vacations and working through the hiring process. This will be the main thing on my schedule until further notice. It's best to stay in the client's home so they can keep everything they want within reach! I'll gladly care for them in their own territory!
“Robin stayed in our home for 5 days/4 nights and was WONDERFUL. She communicated so well, asked all the right questions, returned a clean home to us, and obviously took amazing 🤩 care of our 5 dogs and 4 sheep. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
“Having Bre watch our three fur babies while we were away was the best choice we made. Two of our furries have special needs and we were so glad to have found her especially when one of them ended up needing to go to the vet. Bre alerted us right away that something was wrong and made sure she kept us informed of his progress. She went above and beyond to make sure our boy was cared for. Bre also sent great pictures with updates every day of all three of our fuzzies. They had so much fun with her and our cat, who hates everyone, snuggled right up with her. The house was left tidied, house plants didn't perish, and mail was stacked neatly. We will be hiring Bre again! 😀”
“Katie did a great job with caring for my 2 male cats for a week. One of my cats had been recently diagnosed with a medical issue. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Katie was staying at my house & frequently checking up on him.”
“Leah was a wonderful dog sitter for my senior dog. She was a great communicator, sent updates, and did great with my dog’s medication & insulin injection regimen. Looking forward to having her help again soon!”
“Emily is the sweetest person. I felt comfortable leaving her in my home and caring for my pets. I had previously been told my dogs are high maintenance, which they are, but it wasn't a problem for her. In addition, I had one dog with serious health problems (which I had to put down the day before she came) but she didn't shy away from that challenge. She sent pictures and cuddled with my dog on the couch. I would love to have her back.”
“Fabulous Fabulous Fabulous with our sweet little Oakleigh. She made us feel very comfortable leaving for the weekend. We’ve never we used Rover before and we will for sure contact Beth again. I know that Beth will always be our go to sitter.”
“Kayleyanna has watched our old pups twice and done a great job both times. This second time she was very observant with changes in our one pup and checked in with us to make sure all was ok. We greatly appreciated her attentiveness to our sweet old pups.”
About: I have been around and had animals most of my life. The love they can give you is compared to none. I enjoy taking care of a variety of animals. I am available for morning, afternoon and evening walks Sunday through Saturday. And for overnight stays in your home, I am available Sunday through Saturday. I am meticulous in providing amazing, loving care in your home. No need to worry about a thing. My family has a cat so I would not be able to care for pets at my home. But I do think animals are less stressed staying in their own environment.
“THE BEST DOG SITTER EVER!!!! She sent me pics everyday, my house was cleaner after she left lol My pups x3 adored her. I have never been more pleased! Highly recommend and she is a great communicator. You will feel at ease knowing she is in charge!”
“Communication was good however we did not receive many unprompted status updates or photos of our pets. During house sitting, was one day that our home entry logs indicated that no one stayed the evening with our pets. A few other logs were noted that indicated time spent in the home was about 2-3 minutes in the evening then returning later. Our dogs were happy to see us and appeared to be fed”
About: I grew up on a farm taking care of many different types of animals! When it comes to dogs, I long term took care of two Great Danes, two great Pyrenees, a chihuahua, a jack russel terrier, and a dachshund mix. I also care for and dog sit for two sweet, clingy German short haired pointers! I work a full time job that lets out at 3:30 M-T, I work until 12 pm on Fridays and my weekends I do not work so I have even more availability. I cannot sit for your animals at my rental property as it is an animal-free lease, but I would love to care for your animals on your property!
About: Hello there Rover family! I’m an extremely active Airforce veteran who has decided to open my home to your beautiful furbabies. I’ve had several years of experience taking care of a variety of breeds and species. I also am active in the dog community and show my own Dobermans! They’re extremely sweet and good natured. I am currently working from home, so there is plenty of time throughout the day for me to spend with your fur babies and keep them company! We have a large amount of acreage for your sweet pets to romp around on! In the event of rain or inclement weather, I have a variety of brain teasers/mental stimulation games to keep your fur babies occupied and happy!
