“Lydia was great with our dogs. They were happy and playful when we got home. We could tell that she really spent time with them. She was very punctual and secured the house before she left. We have used other sitters and they were good but Lydia is by far our favorite.”


“Destini provided excellent care for my 5 cats while we were away, demonstrating attentiveness, responsiveness, and punctuality during each visit. Not only did she go the extra mile, but she also assisted with taking out our trash and recycling. We're truly grateful to have found Destini for our family's needs!”


“Shelby cared for our 11 year old Puggle while we were away for a long weekend and he was a little under the weather. She gave him excellent care and was a great communicator. We received updates and fantastic pictures for each visit. She’s someone I would absolutely trust with him or any pet again. I highly recommend her!”


“Amber was amazong with my two cats Luke and Leia. They were really happy around her and Leia even flopped on her back to get belly rubs from her. That is very special coming from her.”


About: Hi, I’m LaLa! I believe every pet deserves Dog-Mom level care—the kind where they’re treated like family, not just a client. With years of experience caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I pride myself on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment where your dog can truly relax. I’m extremely patient and gentle, whether I’m bonding with an anxious rescue, entertaining an energetic puppy, or tending to the needs of a sweet senior. I pay close attention to every detail, from their feeding schedule to their favorite belly rub spot, and I’m skilled at reading body language to ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home. I provide regular updates, cute photos, and even fun paw report cards so you always know how your fur-baby is doing. Life can be unpredictable, and I do my best to be flexible and understanding when schedules shift. Most of all, I love building connections with each pet I care for—because to me, they’re not “just pets,” they’re family. 🐾 Im available Thursday to Sunday. On Thursday and Friday only I’m available after 5:30pm (due to me having a full time job from home). Saturday and Sunday I’m available all day 🙂 For any Drop-In visits or Walks I do require a complementary meet and greet before booking to ensure your pet is comfortable with me and their “home space” ❤️ Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first in your home. I take time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs before each visit. I follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as given, and always make sure your pet has fresh water and a clean, calm environment. I respect your space—leaving your home just as I found it—and keep doors locked, alarms set, and your pet safely indoors or secured outside as requested. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive to body language, especially with shy or anxious pets. You’ll receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.

“Jennifer was so good taking care of my two cats, feeding and playing with them. She was also attentive towards my home, letting me know that a piece of artwork had fallen off of the wall. She carefully picked it up and placed it on the table for me. ?”



“Angelika was absolutely amazing with my energetic Doberman. She was always timely, detail oriented, left great notes, and even made sure my dog was cared for during a rain storm. I had a last minute emergency and Angelika was also able to assist with my list minute need for care. I would rebook and recommend over over because I know my pet was so well cared for!”


About: I’ve had pets since I was a little girl from fish to 95 lbs dogs! I currently have a bernaboodle named Winston! I’ve loved animals since I was very young and always advocate for their wellbeing! Since I already have a dog and live with another I try dedicate a lot of my time to getting their energy out! I’m looking to fill my day with all kind of pets! Hopefully I’m able to make more than just my pets happy! I wanna make sure your pet is getting what they need. For me it’s making sure you stimulate their brains at least once a day. Studies show walking your dog once a day can help extend their live and quality of life! Since us owners are the center of our pets life it’s only fair we give them the best!

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: Hi! My name is Erika. I grew up on a farm rescuing dogs and cats, and have taken care of neighbors, friends and family members pets and livestock for over 13 years. Caring for animals has been a passion of mine since I was a child and I want to continue to make sure people's pets are comfortable and are enriched with activities during their time away from their humans. Regardless if your pet is a hyperactive puppy or calm senior, my skills can accommodate for all personality types and needs. I cannot wait to meet you and your pet! I’m a graduate student with availability for services on weekday evenings and a broader range of availability Fridays-Sundays. Please feel free to reach out regarding any exceptions! With my experience caring for various breeds and needs of dogs and other animals, I am very attentive of any behavioral changes and the needs of pets. I ensure that any changes are communicated with you (and your vet if applicable) and I like to send updated photos during the time of my services.

“Virginia was great! Super communicative and even sent me pictures of my dogs having a great time with her. I was a little worried one of them might be uncomfortable, but nope—she was clearly happy and relaxed. I felt totally at ease with her letting my dogs out for the first. Would highly recommend!”


“I'm very happy with Debbie's service. She checked in during each visit with my dog, and administered medication when my dog wouldn't eat it on her own. Very reliable. I will call on her again!”


About: I have had a couple of dogs growing up! Especially now I have learned a bunch of different things. I do well with brushing and grooming dogs, giving them medication and baths. I enjoy playing and taking them on walks. I also used to volunteer at the animal shelter. I currently work full time (3 - 12 hour shifts). My schedule changes weekly. Sometimes I work night shift and sometimes I work day shift. My shifts are always 7-7. I have a fur baby in an apartment. I take him to the park to get his exercise in or walk him around the apartment complex.

At the moment I’m in college but my time is flexible.

Like I said I am in college but my time is flexible since I’m an online student. I don’t mind working out whatever u need. I follow any instructions given to me and keep an eye out for anything that may be problems. I have given my animals med and other clients.

“Kathryn went above and beyond for my two cats while we were gone. We will most definitely use her in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy caretaker for their animals!”


About: I am an animal person, but dogs are my favorite! I am available to walk your dog, feed them, show them love when you aren't around. I know that animals are like family and intend to make them feel your love while you are away. My children are animal lovers too! I have been dog sitting, dog walking, and loving on fur babies for about 10 years. I am new to Rover and can't wait to meet more sweet fur babies. You can ensure that your animals and home are in good care while you are away. I will love them like I would want mine loved on when I am away. I work full time but work several days remote. I am able to come to your home before work, on my lunch break, and after work to check in, give potty breaks, or take for a walk. Weekends are wide open. I can occasionally stay overnight with them. I know animals are family too and I intend to treat them that way. You can feel comfortable while you are away, and they are in my care.

About: Taking care of animals has been a part of my life ever since I remember. I grew up on a farm with many dogs and cats, along with horses, cows, and chickens. Animals hold a special place in my heart and providing proper care is very important to me. I am a college student who is currently home for the summer and I am available all days of the week. I have a very open schedule. We have a very large fenced in yard with plenty of room for throwing the ball, as well as fabulous walking trails that our dogs love.

About: I’m currently a fourth-year undergraduate student majoring in Environmental Studies and Political Science! I grew up taking care of family pets such as dogs, cats, horses, and goats, which was my initial introduction to the animal world. Beyond this, I spent many years volunteering at rescues to learn about caring for animals with particular behavioral and medical needs. I’ve gained invaluable experience through rehabilitating animals and have tried to advocate for animal welfare whenever possible in my daily life. Since starting my degree, I’ve house-sat and pet-sat on multiple occasions for periods up to a month in length. I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of animals and understand the importance of care done correctly. I’m happy to accommodate specific requests and prioritize pet well-being above all else! I'm a full-time student, so I will have several classes every day beginning in late August. However, this schedule could easily accommodate visits to the house throughout the day for potty breaks or other animal needs. I'm able to manage morning and night care, along with 1-2 visits throughout the day. I'm also available with greater flexibility on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for drop-in visits, walking, and house-sitting. Depending on owner and pet needs, we can work out a schedule to suit everyone! In my client's home, I try to maximize time spent with the animals by sitting in communal spaces and interacting with them whenever possible. I'm a patient and flexible person, so the process of learning an animal's routine and behaviors is a fun challenge for me! I also complete necessary tasks like feeding, watering, walking, grooming, etc.
