About: From a young age, we’ve nurtured a deep love for animals, caring for a wide range of pets with tenderness and compassion. We’ve always felt a strong connection to the animals we look after, seeing them as beloved companions. One of our proudest achievements is raising our dog from a puppy, guiding her through training to become a well-behaved, affectionate adult. We’ve also had the privilege of caring for a neighbor’s senior dog, providing comfort and companionship. This experience reflects our genuine passion for animals and our commitment to their happiness and well-being. We work remote with flexible work hours and have a dog of our own. She often goes for walks and of course requires some belly scratches. Our home has a fenced in yard and we personally have a 8 year old cocker spaniel that loves to play but then also likes to chill. She matches the energy around her. We do not have dog crates, if your fur baby is crate trained, we request you provide a crate for their stay.

“As always, Emma was fantastic with my girls. She went above and beyond when Snap and Pompom broke something (100% my fault) and made sure it was well cleaned so they wouldn't get glass in their paws.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Growing up, I was the first person my parents’ friends trusted to watch their dogs, and that hasn’t changed as an adult—I’m still the friend who’s always excited to dog-sit. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. My family currently has a mix of breeds, including French Bulldogs, a Bernese Mountain Dog/St. Bernard mix, and a Bernese–Mini Poodle–Swiss mix, so I’m used to both high-energy playtime and calmer, structured care. I treat every dog like they’re my own and focus on making them feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. My main availability is weekends and Friday nights. I work 9:00–5:30 on weekdays but am happy to help with morning or evening care when needed. I focus on providing a calm, relaxing environment and building trust with every dog I care for. I like to take time getting to know each dog and letting them settle in at their own pace. Once we’re both comfortable, we spend time hanging out, playing, and going for walks based on their energy level and routine.

“Amanda has become my first choice when I need a pet sitter and even my shy cat comes right out for her, when it takes a couple of days before she'll grace other sitters with her presence. I know my kitties are in good hands when I book Amanda, and that's the best peace of mind when i'm away!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life and have experience caring dogs and cats while parents are on way on vacation or just have a busy schedule! . I come from a farm family and am very attentive to animal body language, safety, and comfort. I am an active individual and love to be outside n I am available during the evenings in the weekday and anytime on weekends. I’m great with working around schedules as well. I provide loving, attentive care for pets in my home or yours! Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just snuggles, I make sure every animal feels safe, happy, and loved. I tailor care to each pet’s personality, from energetic pups to shy cats, and even other pets.

About: I have some training experience Over 5yrs experience Dogs of all shapes and sizes Personalized care My longest running client is a Pitbull named Bear who, when i first met him would be very anxious on walks. Through years of working with him he's now a much more confident walker. So please believe me when I say I love dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities. I did recently start working in the area. I'm still very new to the area. I can usually accommodate upon requests. More so if scheduled in advance. Within my over 5 yrs experience caring for puppers I have cared for them at both my house and at my client's house. I have always maintained a clean environment, personalized care in that I will maintain your rules concerning your dog. Above ALL else I MUST maintain trust with my clients. If you or your dog don't trust me then I can't do my job and worse yet it's usually the dog that suffers in the long run.

Katie is a gem! We were nervous about finding a new cat sitter after our old one no longer offered her services, but our kiddos immediately took to her gentle and kind nature! Katie clearly knows how to interact with cats and their versatile personalities. Can't praise her enough!

If you are looking for somebody to let your dog out, she is the best person out there. I have never been more happy until now. She really treats the dog like her own. I would trust her with everything. She’s very on top of making sure I’m aware of any situation along with taking pictures along the way. I will definitely be using her for the rest of the time and for overnights soon. Definitely highly recommend.

I needed Alina’s help with three drop in visits in one day for my two dogs. When I got home it was clear they were well cared for and happy! All of the visit pictures were of my two boys getting to play, getting scratches, and enjoying themselves. One of my dogs is a senior who needs medication and she was able to administer that too. Alina was very communicative throughout the day and let me know what my dogs were up to! I will ABSOLUTELY be using Alina’s service again. She is incredible and I’m so happy to have found her through Rover!
