“We have a reactive and shy dog, and because of this we have never left him with a sitter. We decided to give Rover a try and that is where we met Shylina. She did an amazing job. She took a shy dog that wanted nothing to do with her at the beginning, to a dog that wanted to cuddle with her in bed at night. We highly recommend Shylina. We will definitely use her again.”
“They had amazing communication and made me feel so comfortable while I was away from our critters. I would definitely recommend again and will be reaching out again the next time I need a sitter.”
About: I have owned and taken care of many types of animals since I was 5. I currently work at a dog daycare and lodging establishment. I have worked with kittens/puppies as well as senior dogs and cats. I work outside of common working hours which gives me the time to take care of your pets while you are at work or on trips. I value the saftey and health of all pets, I have training in observing unusual behaviors in animals. I highly value communication and honesty with you as the owner especially when I notice these behaviors.
About: I pet sit my friends & family's pet whenever they need someone to take care of their fur babies! I love making new pet buddies, and want to ensure they are as happy as can be. I am free to help most days after 3 PM or on the weekends for the full day I’m looking forward to meeting your fur babies. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a secure, loving, and stress-free environment where your furry friend can feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they receive the love, care, and attention they deserve. You can trust that your pet will be in great hands with me!
“We booked Kristina last minute and she was so flexible and communicative with us throughout her time watching our dog. Will be reaching out to her again for future bookings)”
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and genuinely love all animals. I had my first cat at age 4 and grew up with both cats and dogs. I also lived with a rescued pit bull for several years (she had a rough past and didn’t do well around other dogs), so I have some experience with anxious pups on walks. I understand how important it is to build trust and work at a pet’s pace. Whether your pet is social and playful or a bit shy and needs space, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and give them the best care possible. Even with a full-time job in finance, I make time for what matters—and for me, that includes animals. I work a standard weekday schedule, but my evenings and weekends are all open for pet care. The flexibility of my job may allow for a late morning - early afternoon check-in. Whether its a walk, evening check-in, or weekend drop-ins, I’m happy to build a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. I also spend most of my downtime at home, so if your pets need longer visits, I can give them plenty of attention and company. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to keeping your pet’s routine as normal and comforting as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, medications, walking schedules, or just the way your pet likes their favorite toy tossed. I know every animal is different, and I take the time to get to know their personality and needs. If we arrange care in my home, your pet will be treated like one of my own. I have a calm, pet-friendly space and three cat companions who are used to other animals and are gentle and well-socialized. I always do a slow introduction and only bring in pets that I know will be comfortable in that environment. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether I’m in your home or you're trusting your pet with mine.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I grew up with 6 other siblings and we always had animals around. I lost our beloved family dog about two years ago and I do not want to commit to raising another one since I like to travel. But on my down time, I really miss having a dog to love that’s why I thought this would be a great option! I recently retired so I have a lot of flexibility, and a lot more time to spend at home and to care for your dog. It’s just me and my wife that live in the home and she would be available to help if needed. We live in the country on a one acre lot so your dog would have a big area to roam! I am fine with the pet staying inside my home if that is what works best for you. I am happy to use a crate if that’s what’s preferred!
About: I've grown up with dogs in the household and currently have 2 in the house. I have fostered dogs, including puppies in the past, all of which were adopted out. I have been put in charge to watch other families and friends dogs while they are away. I do work 2 other jobs but have free time that I would love to spend with animals. This job is something that would bring me joy and help me not miss my dogs at home when I am not living there. I live on a quiet street with a nice backyard and a fence on both sides of the house to separate us from the neighbors.
“Taylor was very accommodating to our very old toy Fox Terrier. She stayed in our home without issue. Our dog is on medication which was provided to her and she sent regular notifications to let us know how she was doing. We will hire her in the future without hesitation!”
“Lydia was very responsive and detailed in her replies. If she wasn’t sure of something, she would ask for clarification, which is what I prefer, instead of assuming the wrong answer. I would book her again when we go on vacation next time!”
About: I have been taking care of animals for most of my life. I have been entrusted in taking care of family and friend’s animals. I know people see their animals as part of the family and will ensure that your pets still feel that love even when you can’t be around. I’m currently working part time evening shifts, so I will have plenty of time during the day when you are at work! I also have weekend availability Since I will be taking care of your animal in your own home, I will be happy to abide by your pets usual schedule. You know your own home, so you will be happy to know your pet is in a safe, familiar environment!
“Monica did a fantastic job. My Pixie just loved her, she gave my pup the attention she wanted and sent me pictures of her on her walks and at bedtime. I would definitely use her again.”
“Thank you Elizabeth for taking great care of our Jocko (about 17 years old). You were able to carry out his routines in/outside the house very well. So when we returned, I think he was a happy camper during our 20 day away vacation. This was the first time he would be left alone (without the usual many family members to overlap with care), so this local care giving plan with Rover.com worked out very well. I was reassured with photos and texts of visits as requested and Elizabeth provided the personal care for Jocko a senior cat and he is a happy cat.”
“Dylan was amazing caring for my elderly (almost blind) dog. He was knowledgeable about medications and eye drops. He took him on walks in the doggie stroller and was great at calming my nerves about leaving my "baby" while on vacation.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life! I grew up on a farm and have experience caring for lots of different animals. I currently have a very friendly 5 year old, cattle dog mix, named Wilson! I am familiar with high energy dogs, and lazier ones! I work from home, so have very open availability. My normal working hours are 7-3. I can normally make any time work! Available most weekends as well! I have a fur baby of my own that can keep your animal company. Animals are always supervised! I treat all animals like they are part of the family. They can make themselves and home and are allowed on the couch, if that’s their style!
About: I have had multiple pets through out my life since I was born and had experience with dog and cat sitting all of kinds of situations overnight and just stopping in. I enjoy all types of dogs and cats and love and play and give them the love they deserve! I work 2 part time jobs in Hudson. Usually work 3-4 times a week but super flexible and open. My shifts always end before 7-8 so I can stop after work. I wake up early and able to accommodate to almost anything! I am capable of playing, walking, feeding, petting, anything and enjoy it at the same time! I can follow any instructions given to help best make the pet the happiest and Safeist which is my top priority
About: Growing up I loved animals more than anything. Over the past years I’ve come to own rabbits, guinea pigs, wiener dogs, even a hedgehog. Over the years I’ve also volunteered at the Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter and job shadowed at some veterinary clinics here in Billings. From time to time I would pet sit my neighbor’s dog over the summer and in college I cat sit for my friends who had to go on trips. I also have experience with trimming nails, giving medication, taking care of elderly pets since one of my dogs is 17 years old, and taking care of puppies since my family got one last year. While I care for your pets I will send pictures and updates on your little fur baby so you don't have to worry throughout the day. I currently have free time since I'm on break from college . This means my time will solely be dedicated to caring for your pets. Each pet is different and I will cater to their needs, whether it's giving them a walk to burn off some steam or just keeping them company.
“Renee stayed in our home and cared for our dog, Marlie and our cat. She clearly loves animals and went over and beyond and took such good care of them. She did awesome sending daily updates and pictures. We are new to Rover and she asked great questions in advance so she could provide the best care. We had piece of mind during our long relaxing weekend getaway and highly recommend Renee!”

Axel S.
“Axel has been one of my closest friends for roughly 7 years and in that time he has become one of my most trusted friends, especially when it comes to my animals. Axel has a natural connection with animals and has been surrounded by a diverse range throughout his life, including dogs, cats, sheep, goats, horses, chickens, and ducks. He has helped me care for my cat and fish while I was away out of town, and he consistently went above and beyond my expectations. Axel has also taught me a lot about handling horses, especially through his bond and experience with his gelding, Stormy. I've enjoyed visits to his family's farm and it's clear how happy and well-cared-for the animals are. His passion for animals and the calm, respectful way he interacts with them leads me to believe he would be a fantastic candidate for this job position.”

“We booked Kristina last minute and she was so flexible and communicative with us throughout her time watching our dog. Will be reaching out to her again for future bookings)”
Makayla W.
“I’m a super anxious pet parent and Makayla is one of the few people I trust to look after my 3 cats. You can tell she genuinely loves all pets and strives to care for yours as if they are her own. She is excellent at following detailed instructions which is absolutely essential for my furry family because they all have different dietary restrictions and routines that must be followed. Makayla’s company and care was a saving-grace the first time I had to leave my cats alone for a longer trip abroad and I (and my cats!) would absolutely have her back in a heartbeat. She made me feel like she really respects the level of care I expect with my cats and I was able to leave them without worry that something would happen to them or they would be lonely while I was away. I cannot recommend Makayla enough to my fellow pet parents.”
