About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life, starting from childhood. Over the years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, trusted to give their pets the same love and attention they get at home. About 15 years ago, I brought home my first cat and have been completely smitten with felines ever since! I have experience giving basic medications to pets and am comfortable caring for animals with special needs. In addition to dogs and cats, I have over 15 years of experience with bearded dragons and mild experience with many other animals—so I’m happy to watch reptiles, small pets, and more. No matter the species, I’m dedicated to keeping them safe, happy, and cared for like they’re my own. I have open availability for dog walks and any pet drop-ins, so I can work around your pet’s routine—morning, afternoon, or evening. Whether you need a last-minute walk, regular visits, or a quick drop-in while you’re away, I’m always happy to make it happen! I care for pets in their own home so they can stay safe, happy, and comfortable in their familiar space. I follow your routine for walks, feedings, clean-ups, and medications, making sure they get plenty of love, play, and attention. Safety is always first—secure leashes, closed gates, and supervised walks—so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands.
About: I have a big back yard for your doggo to run around in! As a dog owner myself I know how important it is to keep your puppy busy. I give great belly rubs and I know how to throw the ball around for some fun! I’m a college student who is home full time currently and would love to play with your doggo! I’ve been dog sitting for a very long time. I know how dogs get lonely and need a friend to play with! I’m super excited to get to know your little fur ball and have some fun! I can’t wait to take care of your dog and take him or her for walks and some fun in the backyard! Thank you!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have experience with pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra attention, I’m comfortable providing the care they deserve. I offer reliable walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, always making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Treating every dog like my own is my top priority! I’m currently a senior in college taking just one class, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day and week. I can easily adjust to your pets schedule! I am an extremely careful and diligent pet caregiver. Whether walking on the street or caring for your pet in your home, your pet is always my #1 focus and responsibility.

About: Growing up as a farm girl taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals of all personalities and sizes. I’m comfortable with high-energy pets, shy pets, senior animals, and multi-pet households. I also have experience caring for young animals, including bottle feeding kittens and providing extra attention to pets that need specialized care. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” pets — I pay attention to their routines, behaviors, and comfort so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I understand how important trust is when leaving your animals with someone else, so I provide dependable communication, photo updates, and personalized care for every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion, I adapt to their needs and make sure they receive attentive, reliable care every time. Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine alongside my multiple part-time jobs because I’ve learned how to stay organized, reliable, and flexible with my time. My schedule varies throughout the week, but I intentionally plan ahead so I can give each pet sitting visit my full attention and consistency. Because my jobs are part-time, I have built-in availability during mornings, evenings, and flexible gaps in the day that allow me to provide dependable check-ins, walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m used to balancing responsibilities, so I’m careful about only accepting bookings I can fully commit to without rushing or cutting corners. Pet sitting is something I genuinely prioritize in my routine — it’s not just extra work, it’s time I set aside to care for animals, give them attention, and make sure pet parents feel confident and updated while they’re away. I offer flexible care depending on what works best for you and what your pet is most comfortable with. In your home, I focus on keeping everything as familiar and stress-free as possible for your pet. I follow their normal routine for feeding, walks, litter box care, medication if needed, and playtime. I also make sure they get attention and companionship so they don’t feel lonely while you’re away. I respect your space, keep things clean and organized, and provide consistent updates so you always know how your pet is doing. If care takes place in my home, your pet will be in a calm, safe, and supervised environment where they receive the same level of attention and routine-based care. I make sure they have a comfortable space, regular outdoor breaks or playtime, and a low-stress setting that feels secure and welcoming. I limit distractions and other animals as needed so each pet gets proper individual care. In both settings, my goal is the same: to make your pet feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind that they’re in responsible hands.
“Betsy did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and playing with them in the backyard during the drop-ins. By the looks of the Rover photos, I can tell that the dogs love playing and getting all the head scratches from her. Definitely recommended!”

About: I have some experience taking care of dogs. I once pet sit two cats and two to four dogs for one neighbor.

“Kaitlynne was amazing! I will definitely be asking for her help in the future. She was so patient with my bunch. My dogs are all very different and need all different kinds of care and attention and she handled them all with the love that I would have. I’m so thankful and I felt so much more comfortable being away knowing the care she was giving to my guys.”

Elon dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was our second booking, and my animals adore Jessica, it was seen when she came to pick up the key before our trip! She is very communicative about what is going on with the animals while we are gone, and gives us the peace of mind that our animals are being loved while we’re away.

Angel is AMAZING!! While I was out of travel she was always on time and sent me photos of my Milo when she came by to visit. She loving, caring, and made sure that Milo was comfortable while I was away also kept me updated with his report on how his visit went. I would 100% recommend her as a sitter and plan to use her in the upcoming future

I can’t thank Kristi enough for the love and care she gave my pup while I was away. From regular updates and adorable photos to thoughtful attention to my dog’s needs and routine, I truly felt at ease the whole time. Highly recommend to any pet parent looking for peace of mind and genuine care!
