“She's a very impressive young lady! She's professional, conscientious, and took excellent care of our 2 fur babies. She sent pictures of them and she reached out if she had concerns or questions. We would highly recommend Brianna and will be using her again!”

“She did a great job with the dogs and she had a couple of issues with Wi-Fi service so I hope that she didn’t suffer too much but other than that she was in great communication and sent pictures. The dogs were so happy when we got home and she had cleaned up so five stars fully recommend.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was about 10. In the past couple of years I have cared for my grandmothers rescue dog while she works. I have experience with reactive dogs and training puppies. I am a full time college students so my schedule is a bit tight but I still have time to walk or house sit your pet. I have unfenced back and front yard and a small fenced in area in my backyard. I have a pet friendly dog who is crate trained and well behaved. I have experience leash and crate training. I have a small crate and a large crate in my house.
About: I’ve grown up around multiple animals, having dogs and cats and other exotic animals. I also used to watch neighbor’s pets if they needed me to. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I am a college student who is always on the move and looking for new adventures to go on! I do not offer pet sitting in my own home due to living in an apartment with roommates, but depending on your living situation I always make it fun for the animal wether that’s playing outside or going on a walk.

“Lola babysat Tank on short notice and she was excellent! Tank immediately loved her and was so happy to see her. Lola was extremely communicative and responsive throughout the weekend! Could not have asked for someone better! She sent pictures of Tank, responded in a very timely manner, and was great with Tank!”


About: As a kitten foster and multi-pet household caregiver, I’m used to caring for animals with different needs, energy levels, and personalities. Whether it’s playful kittens, shy cats, or dogs that need structure and attention, I adjust my care to what each pet needs. I’m also comfortable administering medications and paying close attention to behavior and health. I take the time to really understand each animal and respond to what they need—whether that’s extra patience, playtime, routine, or a quieter approach. I take pride in being dependable and communicative. You’ll get consistent updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. I offer: • Drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays • Care for multiple pets at once • Medication administration • Extra patience for shy or young animals • Close attention to routines and behavior I treat every pet like my own and focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible :) Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely. As long as I have my laptop, I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I can care for your pet in my home or yours—whatever makes them most comfortable. If they prefer staying in their own space, I’m happy to bring my work with me and keep their routine consistent. This flexibility means your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches. They’ll have companionship, supervision, and a calm presence—whether that’s relaxing on my lap while I work or resting nearby. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a secure, calm environment with close supervision. At my home, pets have access to a large backyard that backs up to a farm and a quiet cul-de-sac street, giving plenty of space to explore safely. While my yard isn’t fenced, I take extra precautions to ensure pets remain secure at all times. I have a small Morkie who enjoys gentle play, and kittens in my care are always excited to meet new friends. Interacting with other animals not only enriches their social experience but also helps kittens become more confident and adoptable. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow your routines closely, provide attentive supervision, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and confident in their familiar surroundings.
“Keisha could not have done a better job. She sent really awesome pictures and kept in contact. My animals are sometimes stressed when I come home from traveling, and they weren't after Keisha kept them. I hope she'll watch them again. She is wonderful!”
“Bethany took care of our two Brittany dogs at the beginning of summer and was so amazing. She is a true animal lover and gave our dogs all of the attention they needed while we were away. Great communication through photos, videos and text each day. I was so happy to have someone like her and her amazing daughters watching over our home and pets. We are so lucky to know her and rebooked her again this summer.”

“Madeline was amazing! She updated us as needed and sent pictures of our puppy living her best life. She went above and beyond and we will call her again next time. You can feel confident in choosing her to care for your dog.”

About: I have grown around all kinds of animals such as dogs, cats, sugar gliders, and lizards. I love getting to know different animals and I have done a lot of research about their care.

After that once my classes start I will be available evenings Monday through Thursday and any time Friday through Sunday.

About: I have had experience working on a farm with a variety of animals. I also worked at a boarding resort for dogs and cats where I followed feeding schedules, worked with fearful and aggressive dogs and cats, and played with animals residing there. My major in college is animal science with a concentration of pre-veterinarian. I am currently in college taking animal science courses and working around animals weekly. I have pets of my own as well and watch them on a day to day basis. I make sure to build a foundation of trust with the animal before anything. I want your pet to feel comfortable and safe around me and that involves taking things slow and making sure they are comfortable with me. I will feed and water your pet, take them on walks and play with them and make sure they get the exercise needed. Not only that but it depends on how the owner prefers things. If an animal is injured, I won’t over exercise them and do small things like taking a few steps to walk. As long as your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy!

She did a great job with the dogs and she had a couple of issues with Wi-Fi service so I hope that she didn’t suffer too much but other than that she was in great communication and sent pictures. The dogs were so happy when we got home and she had cleaned up so five stars fully recommend.

Keisha has been absolutely fantastic with my dogs. I was out of state for a week, and she kept me constantly reassured with tons of pictures and thoughtful updates the entire time. I had been using the same dog sitter for years, and when they recently retired, I was honestly pretty nervous about finding someone new. Keisha completely put those worries to rest. She’s reliable, caring, and clearly loves what she does. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and comfortable—and that means everything to me. I can confidently say I’ve found my permanent dog sitter. Highly recommend Keisha to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust.

Wendy is the best!!! I can trust her completely with my beloved pet and to take care of things whenever I have to pop out of town. She’s so flexible and accommodating, I cannot recommend her more highly. She has stayed on top of all my dogs feeding, treats, medications, everything.

Taylor was a god send for us. We had arranged for a previous sitter, not affiliated with Rover, who backed out about 10 days before our departure date. Having used Rover in the past, we conducted a quick search, found and met with 3 very qualified candidates. Taylor was the clear choice, and she was absolutely great. She and Lorelei, our soft wire dachshund, hit it off immediately. Taylor texted us and sent pictures while we were away. We would heartily recommend Taylor to anyone and will not hesitate to use her in the future.
