“Extremely personable and friendly. She stayed overnight for our 3 spoiled cats. She sent the cutest pictures every day with updates. Our kitties snuggled on her lap, so they were definitely comfortable with her.”

“Ashley was able to come watch my pups even though it was a last minute request. She was so good about texting me updates, sending pics, all the things about my fur babies. She has such a sweet disposition about her and you can tell she has a true love for all animals. I’m hoping to use her again in the future !!!”

“Enya was great! I was super nervous because I've never left my pups with someone I didn't know, but she came over ahead of time to meet the dogs, and during the entire stay kept me updated. I am so happy we hired her, and I will definitely be using her again! Absolutely best experience know my dogs were well loved and taken care of while I was away.”

“Hannah was such a great sitter. She sends updates every day and really took the stress out of our trip. She’s thoughtful and courteous and made sure to take the time to meet our girl before the sit began. We’ll certainly be booking her again!”

About: I got my first dog 5 years ago and have cared for and enjoyed him ever since. My family has also raised doodle puppies out of our home for a few years now. I've been woken up in the middle of the night, cleaned up messes, searched for dogs that ran away and been on countless dog walks. I love dogs but we've also had cats, bunnies and turtles. I promise you, your pets will love hanging out with me while you are on a trip or at work! I am currently living in Texas with my family until August when I return to school. My schedule is very open, I'm not working currently and I'll do my best to help you out! I can walk your dog as often as you need or run them until all their puppy energy is used up! I'll do what it takes to make sure your buddy is safe and happy!

About: Hi, I'm Tresa, and I have enjoyed being around animals my whole life! I have cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, cats, reptiles, rabbits, horses, goats, chickens, and even bison. I am a fully certified local elementary school teacher with a completely open, flexible schedule until August 1st. Because I am currently on summer break and do not have any pets or children of my own, your animals will receive 100% of my dedicated attention, routines, and care.As a professional educator, I am background-checked, highly organized, and deeply responsible. I specialize in overnight house sitting and daytime drop-in visits. Whether your pet needs a strict medication schedule, long walks, or just a calm companion to prevent separation anxiety, I treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect. I look forward to giving you peace of mind during your summer travels! Because I am currently on summer break and fully off from teaching until August 1st, pet care is my primary focus and fits seamlessly into my schedule. This means I can work seamlessly with you pet's schedule and needs. As an educator, I know that routine equals safety and comfort for animals, just like it does for students. When staying in your home, my top priority is maintaining absolute consistency so your pet experiences zero stress while you are away.

“Moved to a new state and first time Rover user. Had a meet and greet with Tyler and he instantly put us at ease. Sent a lot of pics and updates so we were able to be away, stress free. Took great care of our house as well! We have already booked him for another sitting! Thank you Tyler for loving our pups!”

“Kelley was great to work with and connected with Snow right away. She also took great care of the house. I highly recommend Kelley and will definitely ask her to be a dog-auntie for Snow again!”

“This is the 2nd time Abigail sat for Minnie, and like the 1st time she was outstanding. Minnie was excited to see Abigail and everything went great. It was so nice knowing Abigail was with Minnie, allowing us to enjoy a movie and dinner. We'll continue to ask Abigail to sit for Minnie in the future.”

“Julie was amazing! We are new to using this site and were very apprehensive about who we chose to house & pet sit for us. We couldn’t have gotten luckier choosing Julie. She provided very reliable & frequent updates and followed our instructions. It was so great to have peace of mind leaving our babies in her care!”

“Bailey was flexible and sent photos throughout the week! She left our house just how we left it and the dogs were loved on and cared for. There was a little communication hiccup at the beginning, but all was well and we were able to enjoy our spring break with no worries!”

“Callie did amazing work it’s our three pups. She communicated quickly and clearly, followed all of my very lengthy instructions, and best of all, our oldest loves her which says a lot! Will absolutely be using her again for our next trip!”

About: I havent done much dog sitting recently, but i have experience with dogs and i understand how dogs think psycologically and physiologically enough to keep your dogs safe with me. Im currently working part time from home on mondays, wednesdays, fridays and saturdays from 9am to 6pm subject to change or get off early due to slow business, but I am willing to work around your schedules. I love being around dogs, whether its just walking them, playing tug of war with them, or just chillin with them. I keep every dog i take care of fed and make sure they get the attention they require.
“Pierce did an excellent job sitting for our two dogs and three cats while we were gone for the weekend! Our animals looked well taken care of when we returned and our house was left in impeccable condition. He was also kind enough to show up early on the day we left due to needing to leave for the airport. It really helped to put us at ease before heading out for the weekend. He's also very responsive to messages and sent updates. Definitely recommend him and would love to book him in the future!”


About: I’ve always had an abundance of dogs and cats all throughout my life. I’ve always had large breed dogs, but I am no stranger to small breeds as well! I’ve had puppies and senior dogs, so I have experience kind of all across the board. I have four kittens that I raised and bottle fed, as well as senior cats. I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was 13. I also have experience as a veterinary technician! I am comfortable administering medication if your pet needs it. I will love your pets like they’re my own, and I am very accommodating to your schedule! I am also open to horse care as well! I do not have horses of my own, but I have a few clients that I feed for, so equine care could be discussed if needed 😊 I am starting nursing school in August, but until then I am completely free to take care of your pets. Once I start school, my schedule will change slightly, but I will still be available! I, unfortunately, cannot offer boarding, but I am more than happy to offer house sitting, overnight care, and drop in visits during the day as needed. Whatever your pet needs, I am willing to do it! I can stick to a strict feeding and medication schedule if needed. I will play with your pets, or just have a lazy day if couch potato is more their style! If your pets go out at certain times, get crated, or have to be separated for feeding, I can do it. If your pet is a bit skittish with new people, I will take the time to have them get comfortable with me and avoid stressing them out in an already stressful situation. They will be in great hands 🩷
About: I am a woman in my late 50's, (a mom and a grandma) who has been taking care of "critters" of all types for over 20 years, between Texas, and my home state of Minnesota. I am basically available all the time since I am retired from my career field, in Nutrition, and do this full-time now. I have done pet sitting, on the side, even while working in my career field, as animals have always been my passion. My place is in the country and very pet friendly. I have a small Chihuahua mix, a standard Dachshund, and a shepherd mix, who are all quite friendly. Your pet can be immersed with mine, or kept in a separate, fenced area; whichever works best for your pet. All can be confined as to provide your fur baby plenty of tlc and attention.
