“Heather came to the rescue when another sitter was unable to make it last minute. She came over the same day I asked if she was available to meet my dogs. She did exactly what was needed and I’m so thankful that she was available last minute! I will definitely be using her again!”


“We are so thankful we found Melissa on Rover! She was undeterred by our dog’s initial excessive barking and excitability. She was very responsive to messages and when our schedule wasn’t predictable she was understanding and flexible. She was extremely generous with her time and attention to our pup and truly treated him like he was her own. She left a light on for us when we were expecting to be home after dark. It’s clear she loves caring for dogs and helping their owners!”


“The last time we had Katelyn take care of our boy it was planned well in advance but we had a last-minute need and she said yes! He got a nice walk & was a happy pup when we got home. Huge relief 🙂”


“Dawn was absolutely amazing! She took care of our 2 fur babies with such love and care! She sent us pictures and a text every day with updates on how they were doing. I will recommend Dawn to everyone and we will absolutely book with her anytime we need to travel!! Five Stars!!!!”


About: Hi there! I have 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs from all walks of life, especially high-energy large breeds. Dogs and cats have been part of my life forever, and I guarantee I will treat your pet just like my own—with the utmost love, care, and respect. Whether your pet loves snoozing on the couch or playing for hours, I’ll be there for their every need and wish! My current listed rates are a reduced introductory price to help me meet and care for more pets in the community. As demand grows, my prices may increase, but I’m committed to being upfront and transparent about any changes—and I’m always happy to answer any questions or concerns! Repeat clients will have priority for discounted pricing, making it easier for you and your pet to get reliable, consistent care. ☺️ I am fully available Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. I also offer a discounted rate of $23 for house sitting stays on M T W + F, as I do work outside of the home from 7:45 am - 5:45 pm those days but will be there for mornings, evenings and overnights if you have a pet who is comfortable with that time frame or have someone to let them out mid-day. 😊 I am usually available for last minute care requests as well! It's my primary goal to make sure your fur baby first and foremost feels safe and comfortable when I care for them. It can be stressful having someone new come into your space, so allowing time for slow introduction and bonding are very important. I want to be able to build trust and a loving bond with your pet, so both you and them know they're getting top quality care, love and affection from their new human friend.

“Thanks Faith! I appreciate the help very much :) my only feedback would be I’d love some more photos of all the cats each day along with a little more description on how they’re doing :)”



About: I have been assisting my Girlfriend with many of her clients when she can't take them.I am very attentive and enjoy playing with them. I will treat every animal if it were my own. I also continue my education on dog care so to provide the best experience for your dog. To add..I am also experienced with cats as well. Being older(61) I feel I am a responsible person that would make sure all my clients and their pets needs are met. I also respond to phone messages and emails promply to make sure you concerns are addressed as soon as possible. I am currently working full time but.I adjust my schedule to fit the needs of your pet. I can give potty breaks as much as needed as my girlfriend who has been dog sitting for a few years can also assist in that. I am very attentive to your pet. Love playing with and walking them as well as just chilling on the couch with them. I am also very attentive to their feeding needs and will follow strict instructions of owner.

About: With between three and four years of hands-on experience training dogs under the guidance of various professional trainers, I've developed a well-rounded approach that blends multiple techniques into my own daily structure and curriculum. This foundation in training allows me to offer more than just exercise—I provide mentally enriching experiences for the dogs in my care. In addition to training services, I offer both solo and small group hikes (up to four dogs), ensuring each dog gets personalized attention, socialization, and the physical activity they need to thrive Your dog’s well-being is my number one priority, and that extends to every part of their experience—from training and transport to time on the trail. I understand that every dog (and owner) has unique needs, so I strive to be as flexible as possible with scheduling. Whether you need regular weekly hikes or occasional help, I’m happy to work with your availability to make sure your dog gets the care, structure, and attention they deserve. My vehicle is equipped with three crash-tested crates, each securely strapped down to ensure stability and protection on the road. For dogs who prefer to ride as passengers, I also provide a dog seat belt option for a safe and comfortable journey. I keep spare leashes and muzzles in the car at all times to be prepared for any situation, ensuring every dog is transported with the highest level of care and responsibility.

“Kaden visited my pup two times over the course of a weekend and kept me in the loop with pictures and frequent updates! We were very happy with our experience! Thanks again!”


“Jessica was a fantastic sitter for Woody during my week long vacation. I felt very comfortable with her in charge and Woody really liked her as well. She did everything that was asked of her and she often went above and beyond. She sent pictures and kept up with my trip and even left the lights on for me when I was on my way home. I would certainly book Jessica again and highly recommend her.”


“Second time we have used Jen. Could not be more pleased. Great communication, pets are happy and healthy, and she does exactly what she says she will. Thank you Jen. You release the stress of having to leave our pets.”


“Josephine did a great job with my cats, including giving my old girl her medicine. She realized she had not seen one of my cats after a couple visits and found her in a closed room. Two of my cats are shy, so it’s not unusual to not see them. My cat snuck in my room before I left, so grateful she found her!”


“Chelsea has been great. Her communication and consideration for our two dogs from the first meet & great to our most recent reoccurring scheduled drop-in visits has been professional and prompt. We appreciate her Rover card reports and photos of each visit.”


“I can't say enough great things about the care Jamie B. Gave to our old boy, Buddha🐾💙 She went above and beyond with detailed doggo stats at every visit and sent lots of pictures and videos as well. Quality care from a wonderful human being☺️”


About: Hey dog parents! My name is Jane and I have extensive experience as a full-time pet boarder and sitter when I was based in Nashville, as seen from my reviews! I loved it so much, but I also front a rock band, and our touring schedule has prevented me from pet-sitting consistently for the past couple of years. I also live in a converted campervan with my fiance Ian (a fellow dog lover as well). We will be bouncing around the northeast area for the summer and fall, so we will be available to care for your pet! :) Having our own space in the van works great for house sitting because we can park outside your home, but we don't have to use your kitchen or bedroom, while still spending most of the day in your home with your pet. The perfect blend of boundaries and creating a stable environment for your pet! But of course, if you have a pet that prefers to have someone sleep in the house (it's happened MANY times before) we can keep the schedule they are used to. We don't mind dogs in bed if that is what they are used to. It is all about keeping life consistent for your babe. I have always been a dog lover and grew up with a golden retriever, Honeymoon. Making sure dogs feel comfortable and loved is so important to me! Being in a small space and touring in a band prevents us from getting our own pup, but we would love to help care for yours! We are self-employed so our schedule is very fluid. We would work on our laptops in your home, being with your pet most of the day! I love taking walks, so it is no problem to give your dog regular exercise! Playtime and cuddling are always a must to make your dog feel loved and ease anxiety while you are away!

About: I’ve walked dogs for neighbors and friends for several years and have always loved it. I get along well with all animals, even ones with anxiety or separation issues. I am patient and attentive to their needs, and am happy to give them all the attention they want. I’m currently working part time from 9-2:30ish on weekdays, so I have plenty of availability before and after my hours on weekdays ,and am completely available on weekends! You can put your trust in me to keep your fur babies happy and healthy. I am aware that leaving them alone can be hard, and I want to make them as comfortable as possible.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 13 years ,I love to work with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I personally own 3 American bully’s so have a lot of experience with large dog breeds. I can take your dog/s for walks , feed them ,do drop in visits or play with them. I have a small farm so have experience tending to rabbits, cats ,chickens,pigs, goats and chinchillas I work part time and am available weekdays / nights and weekends, i am available for overnights or early morning pick up / drop off I can come to you and take your dog/s for walks or playtime in your yard or neighborhood as well as taking them to hiking trails, parks or just out for a little socializing (depending on the dog) I have dogs that I can bring if your fur baby needs a playmate as well. I also offer daycare and boarding in my home, I don’t currently have a fence up but we are adding one in the spring. I have plenty of room for inside play for the dogs and go on multiple walks a day with them. I do have personal dogs but I can have it so they are separated if your dog doesn’t do well with others.

“Ethan answered our "short notice" request for a dog visit. He walked and visited with Jack; checking his water and food for us. He responded with text messages when he arrived and departed. He is a "Super" dog sitter! Thank you”


About: I've been caring for animals my entire life, I started working at a dog kennel when I was 14 then I moved to a daycare and I also worked at a rescue. I've had lots of experience in the animal care fields, I've done bathing, nail trims, administered medication, light training, and just all around pup exercise! I've cared for senior pets as well as pups around 5-6 months. Animals are my passion and I treat each one with the respect and care they need to feel safe and comfortable while in my care. Im currently working, but I've been pet sitting for years and wanted to expand now that I have more availability. I'm home from 3:30 on and on Wednesdays and Thursdays all day. My doggies at home run and romp around during the day while I'm at work, I come home on lunch to let them all out to potty and play for a bit and then after work it's non stop until bedtime! :) I have a fenced in backyard for your pup to run and play, also an unfenced front yard for those off leash friends! I have 4 dogs of my own 2 little and 2 big, to keep your furry friends company while they stay. I have numerous crates to use if needed to make your pup comfortable. Your dogs will become my family during their stay here! I send pictures and updates of your pups during their stay, to make you feel more comfortable and see what your furry pal is up too! Having many dogs makes it hard for company but, I come right to you once you arrive, or can sometimes offer pick-up service.

“Jane regularly watches my dog when I am away. My dog is nearly blind and requires extra attention and mindfulness including eye medication administered multiple times per day.

She is always punctual for pets and follows any given instructions exactly as they're written. She is also very attentive and observant, making sure to detect and address any health or behavioral issues that may arise during her stay with pets. In addition to being a great pet sitter, Aubry is also a pleasure to work with. She's stayed with my cats several times, and always has a friendly and professional demeanor and maintains excellent communication with me, providing frequent updates and photos to put my mind at ease. Overall, I highly recommend Aubry as a pet sitter. She is the ideal choice for pet owners who want someone they can trust to care for their furry family members while they are away.”

“Rebecca has always had the most incredible attachment to all animals. Her pets and every one else's are family to her. I have had the privilege of entrusting her with the care of my beloved pets, and can say with complete confidence that she goes above and beyond to make sure each animal in her care feels safe, happy, and loved. From the moment Rebecca met my cats, I felt immediately comfortable with how much love and compassion she put into learning each pets unique personality and needs. What truely sets Rebecca apart is her attention to detail and empathy. She kept me informed with regular updates and photos, which gave me incredible peace of mind when I was away. I never once had to worry, knowing my pets were in such capable and loving hands. If you're looking for someone who treats pets like family, I wholeheartedly recommend Rebecca.
