“Rhianna was beyond amazing at taking care of my cat Lucille and my home while I was away. She sent detailed updates daily and plenty of photos showing what all they got up to each day, and constantly went above my expectations. The care she showed for my pet was clear, and I couldn't appreciate her more!”


“Tori is such a delight. She eased our mind about our one problem child pup that likes to chew couches while we’re gone. She was fantastic and very timely on showing up as well as keeping us updated on what was going on. She sent lots of pics of all the kids and we felt very comfortable with her being in our home while we were gone. We will definitely use her again next month when we go out of state for a few days. Highly recommend.”


“Katherine is wonderful. She bonded quickly with my yorkie Rex. You can tell she loves animals, she’s so nice and easy going. Followed instructions and took such care of my sweet little boy.”


“Amanda was great with my two cats! We booked last minute but Amanda met up with us before we left to get familiar with the girls. She kept me updated with good notes and sweet pictures. I will definitely use Amanda again for our future trips!”


About: I grew up with dogs, birds, and fish. That does not mean I have not cared for other animals. I spent a lot of time at a family members farm growing up, so I also cared for cats, newborn and adult cows, chickens, goats, etc. I have always had a love for animals/pets and am well rounded in that area. I have been pet sitting for various families over the years and have really gained experience by caring for pets of all ages. I can easily deal with puppy messes and senior dog needs. I have an unmeasurable amount of love for animals, and I figured I could put that love to use and start offering services on Rover. I am currently a college student home for summer who works part time. My schedule varies week to week but I am open to any requests! I will care for pets exactly as the owner requests. Your pets happiness is my #1 priority so I will make sure they are well fed, exercised, and happy. All pets are different, and body language is a huge part of getting to know new animals. Luckily I am very knowledgeable about animal body language. I will not overstep your pets boundaries and will let them become comfortable with me first. That way they feel safe and secure. I treat all animals as if they were my own and since I am an animal lover, I form a strong bond with pets.

About: Pets are family, and they deserve to be treated like family. I have doggy sat for a family friend for 3yrs, Zoe, and Zarley. They go out 4 to 5 times a day, they get treats for going boo boo outside. We run around the apartment and play as much as my bones will let me. I love having them here so much. I dont get them everyday, 4 to 5 times a month, overnight. Sometimes a few days, sometimes a week, or more. I take care of my mom, she has Dementia, and the fur kids love being next her, shes so happy and less stressed when they are here. She remembers alot when their here. I tend to cuddle with them all day & nite when they stay. I have a full time job working midnights. I get off at 7am, but don’t usually go to sleep till around 10am. I do not work Friday nights. My part time job is just Mon., we’d., and Fri, from 9am to 1pm. I have every other weekend off. I always put fur babies first in my home. I play with them as often as I can. They are allowed on the furniture and bed. No matter what I am doing, I will stop to take them out, or play with them. I DO NOT give for babies ppl food, their little digestive system mite not be able to handle it. If there is something extra that you say they need, and you don’t have, I will buy it for them. I remove any and everything off the floors, so they cannot get in it. If there is a special diet that they have, I will just need written instructions on how to prepare it.

About: I’ve been around several dogs and cats all of my life! Pets truly make everyone’s lives better. I’d love to give owners a piece of mind! I work in an office during the day. Depending on the distance, I can squeeze in a little visit on my break. After a day in the office, my evenings are open, along with weekends. I will be sure to care for your pets per the pet parents request. I’ll treat them like my own - spoiled & happy! :) After having pets my whole life, i’m very confident as to when a pet feels stressed, hungry, etc. due to body language and interactions. I will follow all requests given and keep in contact with the owner.

“Lara went above her job when the garage door did not open. She actually went to Lowe’s to replace the battery in the remote. Thanks Lara for saving my vacation and easing my mind that Marvel would be taken care of while I was away!”


About: Hi everyone! Our names are Karen and Chad and we’ve always had a love for dogs since childhood. The thought of caring or rescuing a dog has always been top of our minds. When we got married, we adopted a greyhound racer. We had him for 7 years and lost him unfortunately due to cancer. Since we lost him, we’ve wanted to continue helping/caring for dogs and can’t think of a better way then helping others with their fur animals. We know the working world doesn’t always accommodate balancing out caring for our fur friends and work and would love to help with that! Please chose us to care for your fur friends whether it’s a walk or a overnight stay in our home! We will treat them with the utmost love and care! We are available for stays and walks in our home from Thursday until Sunday night. We work from home Thursday and Fridays so can walk them whenever needed! We have a nice back yard but do not currently have a fence (at this time). We can walk the dogs in our backyard with a leash and or take them to nearby parks. We do have a dog bed and dog water/food bowels with plenty of space in our 2200 sq.ft home.

About: I have taken care of dogs for my whole life. I am an animal lover and treat them as part of the family. I spoil my dog and if you would like your dog spoiled too then you should call me. I am retired and am available most to all days. I am very flexible. With my own dog, I take him outside often and make sure he has food and water at all times. I have a large back yard and a dog who loves to play with new playmates. I have a home that is welcoming for dogs or I can come to you and take your dog for a walk.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats in the house my whole life. I’ve helped raise my brother and sisters dogs when they were puppies l, and I currently own a 2 year old golden retriever who is pretty much my life. I have always been the go to pet sitter for my whole family and friends when they go out of town, and that has been my favorite compliment. I currently work full time and I am completely available any weekends or select days during the week before or after I work depending on the day! I am very well rounded when it comes to animals and can adapt pretty easily to any demands concerning your pet. I have no issues crating, feeding playing or walking your pet!

About: I love working with pets! I have experience handling both dogs and cats! I have great experience with cats, and I can manage a household with a large amount of pets as well. I’ve worked personally with a multitude of animals ranging from cats all the way up to an Irish wolfhound fhat I regularly pet sit for. I work five-six hour days from late afternoon to evening, however I will prioritize any animals when I am off of work. I do not travel much nor do I have many plans throughout the week. I can crate dogs, clean litterboxes, or anything else required for the pet in your home. Along with that, if a pet is prone to messes I am more than capable of cleaning up after them.

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs practically my whole life. There hasn't been a year when I haven't had one or the other. My first puppy as an adult I trained to go outside in a matter of 2 weeks. To me putting pet care into my routine. Is as easy as easy as making a to do list. And after my human family pet care is natural as self care. I make sure that food and water is filled. And make not only potty was done. But also a safe walking environment. I love treating animals like they are family to me

About: I have taken five different dog classes and have volunteered in the past to assist at local animal shelters. I would bathe, brush, walk, and play with a variety of dogs. Patient and flexible and always do what is best for the animal. My oldest dog is a certified Therapy dog and we visit mostly nursing homes to help brighten someone’s day. I have had a dog most of my life which I was responsible for walking, feeding, and caring for. I love animals and I will follow any rules provided from the owner. I am a school teacher and very trustworthy. I treat my dog like children and may overact sometimes and rush to the vet when it’s not necessary, but just want to keep my baby girls healthy and safe.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. My dad owned hunting dogs that we had trained ourselves, they were so loving of us kids and always enjoyed long walks in the woods and hours of play time. We’ve also had cats of every personality, from the fat house cats, to the crazy orange cats, to the shy barn cats, to the hunters who always brought us back a present. We would go to the farm every Sunday and feed the cows and pigs. We’d help our grandparents clean out the chicken coop and feed the hens. I’ve always had a big heart for animals of all shapes and sizes. I have experience with taking care of my own animals as well as long term and short term pet sitting. I’m experienced bathing and some grooming, I have owned a husky and a malamute and I’m not afraid of hair. I can also clean ears, teeth, and nail trimming but you must supply your own equipment. I currently work in the healthcare field and can provide care to puppies and senior dogs and special needs. I can administer medications, change dressings, and more. I work with Military and Police K9s and I’m trained in Animal CPR, First Aid, and Critical Care. I work 2 days a week, I am available at all times of the day and night. I can usually work in last minute scheduling and cancellations. Communication is key. I do not offer any in-house services at this time, but I will gladly come to your house! I prefer that your pet has a harness for walking rather than just a collar, as it is safer for me and your pet. Care will differ from client to client based upon what services you are looking for, just let me know!
