“Hailey was wonderful. This was the first time I spent more than a night away from my pups and she did a great job keeping in contact and sending pictures. I am so appreciative that she took such good care of them.”



About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve volunteered with shelters and own three of my own for the last 10 years. I’m currently working from home and hoping to get out of the house for a bit by doing drop in visits or dog walks. I’m available to board dogs as well so long as any furry guest gets along with the dogs already in the house. I’m comfortable administering medication so long as instructions are given. I’m certified in canine CPR. Im happy to cater to the needs of your dog and follow any instructions you provide. As im working from home, im available nearly all the time except for a few virtual meetings during the week. Our normal routine is a short walk in the morning, they hang out with me while I work, maybe a walk or a game at lunch, more work from home, then free in the evening for movie nights/parks/bite to eat somewhere dog friendly. I have a fenced yard with a doggy door to the back. I have also converted my office into a dog room with space for extra crate if that’s what is preferred. Animals are allowed on furniture at the owners discretion. I recognize all owners do things a bit differently and I know how worrisome it can be to leave them with a stranger so I want to put your mind at ease by conforming my care to how you prefer.

About: My wife and I have almost 40 years of combined experience caring for and training pets. Our passion is providing excellent care for your pets Our life revolves around pet care and providing a safe environment for your babies so that you will feel confident they are cared for while your away With two senior cats and a senior dog in our home your pet will come to a calm stable place. We have a large fenced in yard for your baby to play in our quiet country home.

About: I have cared for all kinds of animals through my life but have extra personal experience with my own four rescued cats. I was also a active dog mom but decided to not get another after losing my boy some years ago. I’m a college student wanting to save money up while in school and as a pet lover and owner I can’t think of a better way to earn money while in school than playing with and spending time with animals. My yard is not fenced in! But I can take them to a fenced in area such as a ball field or I can come to the client in some cases. I do however have a closed in patio at my home, hardwood floors and loving cats (plus my mothers friendly dog) at home.

“We couldn’t say enough good things about Vanessa. It is obvious that she loves our pets as if they were their own. She arrives on time and sends adorable little updates in the form of pictures and videos. She left the sweetest goody bag for our Daisy with toys and treats, which Daisy absolutely loves! Right now we are doing drop in visits but once Daisy is fully vaccinated we hope to do doggy daycare with Vanessa!”


“Kristen took great care of my two cats over the weekend. Good communication and very good pictures, including one of my favorites ever. Will absolutely contact Kristen again for pet care. Thank you!!”


“My pups and I loved having Micaela stop in and play with them. She genuinely loves taking care of furbabies and went above & beyond my expectations in her communication with me, from the moment we confirmed booking until her last check in. I had never used Rover prior to this weekend and know that I can trust Micaela with my babies in the future. 5 stars, absolutely recommend her.”


“James is literally the only sitter on Rover we will have watch/spend time with our pets. This was the first time personally booking through rover,, my wife usually handles it, and James helped walk me through the process so everything was scheduled correct.. He is a great help and he is one of the only people in the world one of our dogs will come up to. When we come home our house is exactly how we left it. If you are in doubt and are in need of a sitter look no further, you will not be disappointed with James.”


About: I've been taking care of pets since I was very young. I've pet sat for friends and family. I know how to care and entertain pets. I am a college student so I have plenty of free time. Since I am an animal lover caring for your pet will be a joy for me. I will make sure your pets are properly fed and watered. I will play endlessly with high energy pets but allow them rest if they're low energy. I will make sure they crated or let outside when necessary.

About: Over the past five years, my journey as a pet owner has been a heartwarming and fulfilling experience. Welcoming a loyal canine companion into my life has not only brought joy but also taught me valuable lessons in patience, responsibility, and unwavering love. From adventurous walks in the park to cozy evenings by the fireplace, our bond has grown stronger with each passing day. I've learned to anticipate their needs, share in their happiness, and comfort them during moments of distress. Through the ups and downs, my four-legged friend has become an integral part of my life, enriching it with an abundance of unconditional love and boundless affection. Despite maintaining a full-time work schedule, I am able to offer pet-sitting services due to my flexible work hours and the ability to customize my availability. This flexibility allows me to accommodate pet owners' needs by arranging my work tasks around pet-sitting commitments, ensuring the well-being and care of their beloved animals without compromising my work responsibilities. Additionally, my dedication and passion for animals motivate me to manage my time efficiently, making it possible to balance both commitments effectively. To excel at pet-sitting in my home with a yard and a friendly dog, I prioritize safety, comfort, and companionship. My first step is a thorough introduction between the visiting pet and my own dog in a controlled, neutral space to ensure compatibility. Throughout their stay, I closely supervise their interactions, maintaining a separate area if necessary. Each pet has its own dedicated food and water bowls, and I adhere strictly to the owner's feeding and medication instructions. Playtime and exercise in my secure yard are integral to their routine, promoting mental and physical well-being. My commitment to cleanliness and safety ensures a hygienic environment, and I maintain open communication with pet owners, sharing updates and addressing their needs promptly. Ultimately, my goal is to create a loving, harmonious atmosphere where pets thrive and enjoy their stay.

About: For in-home pet sitting, I respect the pets home and take their needs seriously. I find time spending with pets the most relaxing and will do everything I can to ensure your pet is as happy as he/she can be. When walking your pet I will ensure safety is met and he/she enjoys their walk experience. I am a dedicated type person and take pet care very seriously. I understand how precious a pet is and will do everything I can to meet your pets needs and how you feel your pets needs should be taken care of. I am very good with pets and caring for them. I am a daughter of a rancher and have had many pets in my life including: dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and more.

About: Ive been dogsitting since i was able to drive. I’m huge on doing what you love and being with dogs and taking care of them is exactly that!! I’ve dealt with sick dogs and giving them prescription to as easy as letting them go to the bathroom and feeding them once a day. I can do whatever your needs require:) I am free always unless traveling! I work from home and have lots of time to care for your pets, i can be over as much and as little as you’d like:) They get mostly full time to roam unless not potty trained. I play with them almost in all my free time so they will get lots of love as well!

“Thank you for the piece of mind. AJ doesn't do well in cages, and so him being home and in a familiar location is great. He was clearly less stressed when I came home than when I've had him boarded before. Will use again.”


About: For as long as I can remember, there have always been dogs in my home, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love dogs more than anything, and I would be delighted to care for your fur babies. I currently have three dogs: a 9-year-old Papillion, a 9-year-old American Staffordshire, and a 7-year-old Lab/Chow mix, two of which I helped raise from puppies. I also have experience pet-sitting for family and a couple of friends. I am completely free most of the summer, and I go to school part-time in the fall and spring. Starting in the fall, I will be free all day Thursday-Sunday, and from 12 pm-10 pm Monday and Wednesday. For daycare/boarding: I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of space for your furry friends to run around and play, and a driveway that is almost a mile long where we can go for a walk without worrying about cars! I have 3 dogs of my own, all of which are friendly and playful, but they can be kept separate if they make your dogs uncomfortable. For pet-sitting/check-ins: I'm here for you! I want to listen to how you want things done and what you need from me as a pet-sitter. After all, they're your pets in your home and I know every pet is unique!

About: I have taken care of many pets since I was a little girl especially dogs. I am a dog owner and so is my family. when my family members leave on trips I take care of all the pets needs like walking feeding and spending quality time I am a mom so my hours are based around school. My hours are from 8:30am to 2:00 pm I feel that is adequate time to give your pets the extra needed attention, love, and exercise they require. Well tending to pets and clients home I make sure the dog will be leashed before heading out doors and making sure that all doors are secure before and after walks. If they are caged or crate I will make sure that they are properly secured.

He is extremely patience with them and will even talk to them like they are his children, with a calm and loving voice. He takes our dogs for walks, spends the whole time with them whenever he is home, and takes care of any and all other responsibilities they may have. Our dogs seem exceptionally happy whenever he is around. They wag their tag nonstop whenever Percy comes into the room. He will even get on the floor and play with them for hours at a time. Percy is always on his phone looking at the different types of animals and what all they need to stay healthy and happy. Whenever he has any money, he always spends it on the dogs.”
