McKenzie is the best! She was confident, communicative, and punctual, and she took great care of Mac. She sent lots of updates and pictures and we came home to a happy and healthy hound.

Alexis went above and beyond on the tasks requested and even stayed extra time with my cats which was very kind of her! She was punctual and responsible and my cats warmed up to her immediately. I was able to have peace of mind during my trip. I would definitely rebook with Alexis and recommend her to anyone looking for pet care.

About: I have plenty of shelter experience and worked at Petsmart for 3 years in my past. I've always been around animals whether it was to watch them for someone else or from owning them myself. I've owned many small rodents (rats, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs), fish (betta), and cats/dogs (big and small). You can trust your animal will be in great hands with me no matter what! I have open availability! Whether you need drop ins, overnight stays, feedings, or simply a dog walker. Let me know what your animal needs and you will be in good hands! Unfortunately I can't accommodate your animal in my space. I will have to watch your pets in your space, but I will give your pet them every bit of respect and care they deserve.

About: Hi! I’m Sue, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years—starting with family, friends, and referrals, and now expanding to help more pet parents through Rover. I currently have a one year old sweet Labrador Retriever with a heart condition, so I’m very familiar with caring for dogs who need extra attention or medication. I’ve also raised puppies as young as 8 weeks and have experience with both dogs and cats of all kinds. Whether it’s playtime, walks, administering meds, or just relaxing and keeping your pet company, I’m happy to follow their routine and comfort level. I’m comfortable with all types of dogs—as long as they’re not aggressive and are okay with someone new in their space. If your pet needs medication (oral or topical), I can handle that with care and calm. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I’ll always treat them like my own. I have plenty of availability during the week and some on weekends. Just let me know in advance so I can plan accordingly and make sure I’m available to meet your pet’s needs! When I’m caring for pets in your home, I treat it with the same respect and care as I do my own. I follow your routines closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or just making sure your pet has company and comfort while you’re away. I always prioritize safety, whether it’s making sure doors are secure, checking that your pet’s collar/harness fits properly for walks, or being mindful of any specific needs or sensitivities your pet may have. During dog walks, I avoid busy or unsafe areas and pay close attention to your dog’s body language and comfort level. I’m also happy to give updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident while your pet is in my care. Clear communication and respect—for both your pets and your home—are very important to me.

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve grown up in a home where we always had up to five dogs at a time—ranging from tiny lap pups to large, energetic breeds. I’m very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I have plenty of experience keeping up with high-energy pets who love to run, play, and explore. There’s nothing better than seeing the pure joy on a dog’s face during a good walk or a fun play session! I’m a firefighter/EMT, which means I work 24-hour shifts—but only about 9 days each month. This gives me plenty of free time on my days off, and I’m often available for pet care during weekdays and weekends. My schedule allows me to be dependable, responsive, and flexible, especially for last-minute bookings or ongoing care needs. My fiancée and I share our home with two Australian Shepherds and a Border Collie—so I’m no stranger to energetic, intelligent dogs that need daily exercise and mental stimulation. Even on our busiest days, we make sure our dogs are well-fed, loved, and cared for. I bring that same level of commitment to every pet I look after. You can trust that your furry family members will be treated with the same care, attention, and love that I give my own.

About: Hi! I’m Alexis, a lifelong dog lover with over 5 years of hands-on pet care experience. I started dog sitting for neighbors and family back in high school, and I’ve continued doing it ever since because I genuinely love being around dogs. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog that needs a little extra care, I’m patient, gentle, and always happy to adjust to each pet’s needs. What sets me apart is how personal I make each visit, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m comfortable giving oral medications, managing high-energy pups, and providing extra care for older dogs. I’ve also helped teach a few basic tricks like “sit” and “paw,” which has been such a fun way to bond and keep them mentally engaged! I’m currently home from college for the summer with a super flexible schedule, so I can easily work around your routine. I’m looking forward to giving your pet the same love and attention I give to every dog I care for! I work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pet throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your routine, whether that means daytime visits, evening check-ins, or even overnight stays. For overnights, I’m comfortable staying as long as I can bring my boyfriend along. He’s been by my side throughout my pet sitting journey and has just as much experience caring for dogs as I do. We make a great team and always provide a safe, loving environment for every pet we watch! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and routine. I make sure to follow any instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, or favorite walking routes. I take my time to help pets feel at ease and stick to the environment they’re most familiar with, which helps reduce stress and keeps them happy. I also understand the trust that comes with letting someone into your home and around your pet, and I don’t take that lightly. I always aim to treat your space with the same respect I’d want in mine, and I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages while you’re away so you feel confident and connected the whole time.

About: I’ve taken care of my two family dogs my whole life. My first dog was a 30 pound cockapoo who lived to the age of 15. I grew up with him learning how to feed him and take him on walks. I even learned how to be gentle with him in his old age to ensure he was happy and comfortable. My other dog is 9 now, he is an 80 pound mutt who has lots of energy and I feed him, take him on walks, and play with him in and outdoors. I can handle all kinds of things pets love to throw at their owners and I’m looking forward to meeting yours! I am currently in school, so my work schedule rotates around my classes and whenever I am able to care for your pets I can! I can do overnight visits or drop in between my classes. Whatever’s convenient for you!! I will ensure to treat your home and pet with the upmost respect and ensure everything is exactly the way that you would like it. When caring for your pet, I’ll be sure to take every precaution so that they are safe and your privacy is respected. For example, locking gates behind me, closing the door all the way so no one escapes, and closing the food bin so no one can break into it! I will strive to do whatever will make you and your pets the most comfortable.

About: I have been blessed to grow up with a variety of animals in and around my home. I’ve had a variety of dogs that have ranged from 12lbs to 200lbs. I’ve also had cats in the home, as well. I have taken care of the basics of feeding them, giving clean water (daily), maintaining the litter box (as needed) and even giving insulin injections (to both felines and dogs). I’ve trained many of my larger breed dogs and my service dog. Bathing, feeding, walking and not just for my pets, but also friends & family. I’m very flexible in my schedule and if I was needed to stay for extended periods of time, my animals would be taken care of. I’ve been on medical disability for 4 1/2yrs now. Other than my appointments I have throughout the week, my only other commitment is the upkeep of my home and taking care of my animals. I would not be bringing clients pets to my home, as it’s a spacious and fenced in yard; however, we have one dog who doesn’t play well with others. In a client’s home, unless asked by the owner, the only thing I would remove from the home (temporarily), would be the pet. I’m very cautious with another’s fur baby; so, I would treat it as my own with love, snuggles and a gentle touch. I’m always aware of my surroundings, especially with something so precious, to another. I’ve always been described as very trustworthy and compassionate, with people, as well as, with their animals. Pampering and maintaining a secure environment for your animal(s), no matter the type or the amount you may have. This way, you know that one of your family members is in the best hands possible while you take a vacation for your own self-care.

Collette cared for my senior dogs and special needs dog in the past. 3 dogs total which can be intimidating for some. I needed someone I could trust that had the patience, reliability and flexibility to deal with whatever my furbabies needed at that time since I had to travel out of town for some time. It was reassuring to know my furbabies were well cared for and loved while I was away.

About: I grew up with dogs and cat , I have worked at a veterinary before so I understand the procedure when it is to walking and taking care of animals. I’m very loyal and fun to be around and I love the outdoors. Your animals will be in good care and I won’t let you down. I’m married and have two cats of my own. I’m very responsible, dependable, very flexible and full of energy. I just have a huge love for animals and I feel like you wouldn’t have a issue with me taking care of your animals. Your animals are in good hands with me. I hope you like what I have said about my experience with working with animals thanks Holly

I highly recommend Maddy for her exceptional care of our cat, Charley. Maddy ensured that Charley was well-fed and taken care of, and took the time to engage with her and give her with plenty of attention. Maddy provided many updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away, and it was evident that Charley was happy and well-cared for when we returned home. I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding care Maddy provided and will definitely be reaching out again for any future pet-sitting needs.

About: I have been blessed to grow up with a variety of animals in and around my home. I’ve had a variety of dogs that have ranged from 12lbs to 200lbs. I’ve also had cats in the home, as well. I have taken care of the basics of feeding them, giving clean water (daily), maintaining the litter box (as needed) and even giving insulin injections (to both felines and dogs). I’ve trained many of my larger breed dogs and my service dog. Bathing, feeding, walking and not just for my pets, but also friends & family. I’m very flexible in my schedule and if I was needed to stay for extended periods of time, my animals would be taken care of. I’ve been on medical disability for 4 1/2yrs now. Other than my appointments I have throughout the week, my only other commitment is the upkeep of my home and taking care of my animals. I would not be bringing clients pets to my home, as it’s a spacious and fenced in yard; however, we have one dog who doesn’t play well with others. In a client’s home, unless asked by the owner, the only thing I would remove from the home (temporarily), would be the pet. I’m very cautious with another’s fur baby; so, I would treat it as my own with love, snuggles and a gentle touch. I’m always aware of my surroundings, especially with something so precious, to another. I’ve always been described as very trustworthy and compassionate, with people, as well as, with their animals. Pampering and maintaining a secure environment for your animal(s), no matter the type or the amount you may have. This way, you know that one of your family members is in the best hands possible while you take a vacation for your own self-care.

Kelsi is the kind of sitter every pet parent dreams of finding! When I had to find someone last minute, Kelsi didn’t just step up—she went above and beyond exceeding expectations and transforming a stressful situation into a heartwarming experience. She took the time to understand my dog’s needs advocating for him as if he was her own. Her expert advice for drop-ins over boarding made a world of difference and eased his separation anxiety like never before. She went out of her way to make it happen and her communication was flawless. Each visit full of play, snuggles, thoughtful updates, and some seriously impressive dog photography. My pup adored her so much I think he was genuinely disappointed when I came home and it wasn’t her! If you want someone who treats your pet like royalty, is incredibly reliable, and genuinely passionate about animals—hire Kelsi. Your pet will love her and so will you.
