“Kaylee was the best. I got updates and lots of pictures for every visit. She sent me a summary of what they did at each drop in visit. One of my dogs is quirky, Kaylee was able to work around his odd and finicky eating habits. My dogs were happy with zero stress when I returned home. Would definitely use her again and recommend her.”

“Rachel was wonderful with our girls, one of whom is a neurotic mess so seeing all the wonderful pictures she took while we were away for the week and being able to see how well they were doing made our vacation so much better. Highly recommend and will certainly be using Rachel’s service again in the future.”

“Rachel was amazing! She came to feed/water and give potty breaks to my pup… but she did so much more! She communicated everything that she and my pup did during her visits, which made me feel like I was right there with them. She sent loads of pictures of my pup doing all of her activities as well. It was so comforting to have updates like these while I was away. I would recommend Rachel to anyone who needs drop in visits for their pups ❤️”

About: Hi, I’m Dani! I’m a work-from-home dog mom with a high-energy 50lbs pup of my own, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member. I’ve completed 12 weeks of professional dog training with The Bark Stop, which taught me how to handle different dog personalities, reinforce good behavior, and keep pups mentally engaged. I offer a safe, fun, and structured environment. Whether your dog loves to run, learn new tricks, or just needs a calm companion, I adjust to their needs and routine. My dog loves having new friends around, and I’m here all day to make sure your pup gets the attention and care they deserve. For the safety and happiness of all pups, I ask that dogs be up to date on vaccines, generally well-behaved, and good with other dogs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work from home Monday through Friday, so I’m here all day to give your pup consistent care, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. My own dog keeps me on a reliable schedule, and adding another furry friend to the mix fits in perfectly! In my home, I provide a safe and loving environment. I have a fenced-in yard for outdoor play and a cozy indoor space for rest. I follow your dog’s routine closely whether it’s mealtime, medication, crate time, or training reinforcement, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for like one of my own. My dog is very friendly and playful, and I always do slow, supervised introductions. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I respect your space and stick to your pup’s usual schedule to help them feel secure. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you know how they’re doing while you’re away.
About: I’ve had the honor of taking care of my dog who was paralyzed from the back legs for 7 years. I understand the work and time needed to make a fur baby happy. I love taking pictures and spending time with dogs when I can. I’m a believer in pictures and communication as a stress reliever. I’ll be your dogs best friend while you’re away! I charge very little to be able to take less stress from owners! I work full time at a bank but during my lunch, I would be glad to take care of the fur baby by going on a walk or spend the time I have with them. I am a big believer of love and time together. I have 2 cats and take care of my girlfriend’s golden doodle time to time. I believe seeing a smile on a fur babies face is the best reward!
About: Hello my name is Kayla! I have experience caring for a diverse range of animals, including dogs, cats, and reptiles. I offer expert care for puppies and senior dogs (two out of four of my dogs are senior). My home features a spacious, fenced backyard, a dedicated room for cats, and is equipped to handle multiple/variety of pets. Currently, I have four dogs (Pembroke & Cardigan Corgi, Husky Mix, & Pomeranian), a cat, a crested gecko, a leopard gecko, a 40-gallon fish tank, jumping spider, and a hognose snake. My deep love for animals and extensive experience ensure that all pets receive compassionate, tailored care. I can't wait to watch/take care of your babies! (I made my account in 2018 but have actively been using Rover for a year) . (FOR DROP-INS): I can drop in before and after my shifts on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I’m currently working part-time Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights for about four-six hours (some mornings) at my serving job. I have plenty of time to spend taking care of your pets during the day and most nights. My husband works from home and helps with all pet care, so when I’m at work, he will always be home watching in-home pets. (Please note: that if you select a day to drop-off or pickup on those night I work, then my husband will be handling the pick-up and drop-offs) I have a fenced in backyard with four friendly dogs that will keep your babies busy. I have a dedicated cat room that I can keep your cat or my cat away from dogs that aren’t too keen on kitties. All dogs and cats are welcome on furniture!
About: All four-legged friends are allowed on all furniture and beds in my home. My own dog and cats are considered family members and yours will be cared for and treated the same! Anything they need is my pleasure always. Since a young child on my grandparents eighty acre farm I have raised horses, dogs, cats, and my son and I shared an Iguana when he was young . My own dog is now a senior so I am familiar with administration of medications and some of the special needs and requirements as our fur babies age. While in my care I will provide daily feedings and fresh water served in metal bowls that are washed and sanitized daily. My own ten year old Boxer/Labrador mix had visited forty dog parks and beaches on road trips from FL to ME before she was a year old. Ripley is a highly social and loving dog towards canines, felines and humans alike. My cats are accustomed to many of Ripley’s dog friends often coming to visit and have always been welcoming at all times. I’m happy to stay in touch and send videos or you can enjoy your time away with the peace of mind that your four-legged family member is safely enjoying their time with us! I am a helicopter dog mom and safety comes first. Before sending booking request, please understand, set prices on Rover platform are non-negotiable. Thank you for your consideration! I am currently furthering my degree and taking online classes so my schedule varies and is flexible. I love being home with my own pets & have cams to check on them when away. My own senior dog is provided memory foam in front of all furniture, so when she jumps down she is ensured a soft, comfortable landing. I am experienced in administering medication to both young and senior cats and dogs. I also provide memory foam stairs for my dog and guests to gain easier access to beds. For my SUV I have collapsing stairs to assist dogs from having to jump in and out of the vehicle if necessary. My dog and cats adore each other and get along lovingly. I have a separate guest house if your pet has issues with stairs or prefers not to be around my dog or cats. My community offers a two mile trail and beautiful park dedicated to dogs.
“Suzanne did such a wonderful job taking care of my kitties while I was on vacation. She played with them and sent adorable pictures every day! I felt that my babies were very well taken care of and I will definitely contact her in the future! ?❤️”
About: I've been living in a pet-filled household since I was born. I've seen 3 puppies grow into seniors, and I'm currently living in a 3 pet household: senior black lab, baby doodle, and a bossy tuxedo cat. I've learned the work of taking care of a pet since I was little, but more so in the last several years I've really taken on a lot more responsibility. I love caring for pets and learning their own unique habits and personalities. I'm currently a full-time college student and looking to use this as a way to make some money while in college. I have a car and no problem with transportation, my schedule varies but I'm almost always available to take care of any pets. In my own home, we have a big backyard as well as a fenced in patio if the pets want to sit outside. They have their own crates and food bowls as well, although sometimes they sneak into the crate together. I'm someone who follows directions to a T, and if I don't understand something I will always clarify.
About: I've cared for dogs of various breeds and sizes since I was 12 years old! Friends, family, and neighbors trusted me to walk, feed, and love on their pets like my own. I'm dependable, gentle, and very attentive when it comes to your pet(s) needs. Whether it's a playful puppy or a senior dog, I will be here to care for them and give them the attention they deserve. I currently only do online classes, so I have plenty of flexibility and time to suit myself into your schedule to care and and play with your pets! I will provide the comfort and safety your pet needs in any environment you decide to put them in! No matter what, your pet will be my top priority wherever we go.
“Kiara was very attentive to my Nova and attended her needs, if needed. She is also very knowledgeable to specific breed which made me confident she will take care of my pup. I highly recommend and will definitely have her take care of my dogs any day!”

About: I have lived all of my life surrounded by pets. I love cats and dogs and would love to care for those that need it. I am currently unemployed, so I will almost always be available for any and all care your cats or dogs may need, that I can provide. I have an open front yard and a fenced backyard. I live with a corgi who is pretty shy and a playful husky. Should you wish your pet to be crated I have space for them.
About: I have experience in caring for old and disabled dogs who need medication as well as birds chickens and ducks. I will go above and beyond for any animal. I have a small farm so pet care is a daily thing for me both indoors and out. I care for 6 dogs a cat 7 parrots 45 chickens and 6 ducks at home but am currently unemployed and hoping to help others woth pets have a nice break without having to worry about their babies I have a fenced in yard seperated into three where chickens and ducks have the back two areas and the dogs get to play in the front. I am extremely careful about who gets to go where and I don't allow unsupervised outside time despite the fencing.

James F.
“James has helped watch my dog Bingus on many occasions, I always trust him to do so because I see how well he takes care of his two cats. Bingus likes and trusts him very much, which is remarkable because Bingus is timid and it takes a lot of time for him to warm up to people. James definitely understands how to read dog’s emotions and knows when to give them love and when to give them space. I highly recommend him 10/10!”
Kayla H.Star Sitter
“Kayla is probably the most caring and loving person I've ever met. Our first ever conversation was about her pets, and you could tell how much she loved and cared for them just by how she talked about them. After getting to know her some more I decided to trust her with my dog while I was away for a couple of days and I will probably never go to anyone else again. So I was glad to hear she was going to make more of a profession out of this because I honestly think she would be the best person for the job!”
Katharina P.

“Katharina took great care of our kitten when we were out of town. It is nice not to worry that your pet is getting the best care when you are away!”
Elizabeth M.
“Elizabeth has a special gift that sees animals as a special part of life, that are deserving of loving care. I have seen her sacrifice her own comfort for the pet's that she loves and adores. The way she is in tune with their needs is natural. It's like she can read their thoughts and actions. In my opinion there is no better person I would trust with my pet's and know from experience that they will have the best care possible.”

Caroline B.
“I highly recommended Caroline for pet care! She recently stayed with my cat and 2 dogs for a weekend and provided exceptional service. The pets were clearly happy and well-cared for upon our return, which was a huge relief. Caroline provided regular updates, including photos and notes, which provided us immense peace of mind while we were away. She was professional, reliable, and went above and beyond to ensure our pets comfort and happiness. We’ve already scheduled another pet sitting visit with her!”
Jaelyne N.
“Jaelyne has watched my two dogs several times now, and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better sitter. From the very first time she met them, she connected with them instantly. One of my dogs is usually pretty shy around new people, but he warmed up to her within minutes—which never happens! She’s patient, super attentive, and always keeps me updated with frequent pictures and text messages about how they’re doing. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares, and I always feel completely at ease knowing they’re in such loving hands. I’ve recommended her to friends and would do so again in a heartbeat. If you want someone who will treat your pets like family, Jaelyne is the one!👍”

“Elle has taken care of my 5 dogs dozens of times, she cares about animals more than she cares about herself. My 5 dogs have health issues and she administered their medications following instructions to the letter. I would trust her with my dogs any time. She really cares more about them than people”
