“Lindy was awesome with our three dogs when we were gone. Our little yorkie isn’t great with new people but Lindy had him figured out right away. It gave us peace of mind to know they were well taken care of!!”



“Britt came though in a last-minute pinch for us and was a lifesaver so we were able to enjoy our vacation and not worry. We will definitely utilize her services again! Highly recommend!”


“Amazing as always!”


“Heidi is great to work with and highly recommended. I greatly appreciated the pics and videos she sent - it's comforting to know the dogs were happy and kept busy during her visit. I will certainly book with Heidi again!”


“Thank you Molly! We can tell by the pictures that Dublin was so happy and cared for!! And now that we are home can tell he was well taken care of! Thanks for caring for him. And also thank you for mailing that card for me. Appreciate it! Thank you for everything! This was our first time using Rover and Molly was our first choice and we are VERY happy with the results! She took the time to come and meet us and our cat in person. She is friendly, responsible, confident, fun, great communication and our cat seemed so happy! We will definitely be booking again with you Molly! Thank you!!!”


“Emily took great care of my two cats! She was patient with my grouchy cat and communicated consistently. I would definitely hire her again.”


“Katja went above and beyond, making sure my Lucy was not only fed, but truly loved and appreciated. Katja sent me photos, which was a nice touch as I had never had to leave her for such a long time. It was my first time using Rover and thanks to Katja I would definitely recommend.”



“Abby is an absolute gem and so amazing with my lilo. She completely gets animals and is extremely reliable. I feel completely relieved knowing lilo is in her care. So happy i found her!!!”


“Wow. Wow. Wow! Tamera went above and beyond in all the best ways possible this week. My pup probably wishes I’d leave on more vacations. He was spoiled rotten with adventures everyday while my house looked better upon return than when I left. Totally recommend her.”


“Ashly was skilled at providing detailed updates while we were gone about our areas of concern flr our teo kitties, 7 and 2 years old. She sent ample photos, had great attention to detail, got our kitties their medication and gave them love and affections. We felt so grateful to have found her and our minds were at ease while we were gone.”


“Thanks for the great service again, Regina! It's very comforting to know Dewey was in good hands while I was gone. I will absolutely use Regina again in the future!”


“110% recommend Alicia to anyone. She was very communicative and loved our kitties while we were gone. She played with them and allowed them to cuddle with her.”


About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember - from taking care of my own 2 pets for over 14 years to having a animal shelter volunteering themed birthday. I provide chill, but attentive care to your pets! I am currently working from home, so I have plenty of time all days of the week to come help out - morning, afternoon, and evening. I approach every pet with as much calm and gentleness as I possibly can. I get that your fur baby might need a little time to get used to a new person around, and will always meet them at their level!

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, helping my parents take care of them growing up. In highschool I got a job at a pet hotel and worked there for a year. This was a great experience, I got to see how dogs interact with each other and learned how to take care of different types of dogs. I have also helped house sit some of our family friends dogs. I am home from college and have most days free. I am available most of the days and am happy to work whenever I am needed. I can not watch any dogs in my house. However, I will take good care of your pets in your house. I will follow any instructions given and help keep your pet feel as comfortable as possible.

About: My current crew: a sweet dog, two cats, and a 22-year-old ball python I’ve had since grade school. I’m experienced with traditional pets, rodents*, and reptiles*, and I provide gentle, attentive care for animals of all kinds. As a full-time remote worker, I’m home throughout the day and can offer a consistent, calm presence. Whether your pet is energetic, elderly, or a little shy, I’m happy to follow their routines and give them lots of love. I’m also comfortable with medications, special diets, and senior pet needs. I treat every home with respect, and every animal like family. ⸻ 🐶 Dogs * Hosting female dogs tends to be the best fit for our home and routines in this season, so for now, I’m only accepting female pups. Thanks for your understanding—I’m excited to meet your girl! I have an old-time Scotch Collie, age four. She’s a well-trained, responsive, dog-friendly pup—if your dog enjoys playtime, mine will be thrilled. If your dog is older or more reserved, I have an open-concept/split level house that I gate off to provide different spaces for dogs to decompress or have their own, dedicated area while still being a part of the family. I live just off a bike path and walk or run daily with my collie. I’m happy to meet whatever cadence of walks your dog prefers. I also have a fenced off area where I offer potty breaks or I will walk them around our 1 acre property. Your dog won’t scare my cats—in fact, they may become friends. My two long-haired cats are incredibly mellow. In past dog-sitting experiences, they’ve remained totally unbothered by barking, sniffing, or attention-seeking dogs. They’re actually so mellow and I don’t know why, they’re just weird. When a new animal arrives, they’ll investigate, decide whether it’s worth their attention, and then go take a nap. ⸻ 🐱 Cats If I’m sitting for your cat, I will provide a private room in the house, complete with their own litter box and space to climb, lounge, and settle in. I don’t believe in forcing intermingling with my resident pets—I want your cat to feel safe and relaxed. I will check in regularly for play, attention, and cuddles on their terms. —Unique Family Members— 🐭 Rodents I’ve had six pet rats in my life and think they’re some of the most wonderful animals—smart, affectionate, and full of personality (I even broke a toe playing tag with one when I was little!) I’m happy to care for any small critter and always consider them part of the family. I also have experience with hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs. ⸻ 🦎 Reptiles Although I only have Rex right now (my 22-year-old ball python), I’ve also cared for a variety of lizards and feeder animals. From bearded dragons to leopard and crested geckos, I’m familiar with preparing collard green salads, dusting crickets, maintaining humidity and temperature, and ensuring overall habitat health. I’ve even ordered crickets in bulk—so I know they require care too! While Rex is currently fed frozen rodents, I’m also comfortable managing live prey animals if your reptile/s require them. As a full-time remote worker, I’m home throughout the day and can easily build pet care into my routine. I take regular breaks to go for walks, give attention, or check in on animals staying with us. My mornings and evenings are flexible, so I can match your pet’s normal schedule—whether that’s medication timing, playtime, or feeding routines. Animals are a natural part of our daily rhythm here, and I love incorporating their care into my day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, animals are never left unsupervised with each other until we know everyone is comfortable. New pets are introduced slowly and calmly, with plenty of space to decompress. Sometimes personalities don’t click, in which case we easily keep them apart so that everyone is happy. I follow your pet’s routines as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, medication, or exercise—and I’m always happy to check in with updates. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and follow any specific instructions you leave. I’ll keep your pet’s world feeling familiar and low-stress until you’re home again.

About: Hi! My name is Ella and I am 18 years old. I have had both cats and dogs in my home since I was born and have loved being around animals from a very young age. I feel very comfortable caring for and being around both cats and dogs. I currently am a cat foster parent for The Bond Between, a cat and dog rescue organization and have adopted two cats and a dog from them. Aside from fostering, I also volunteer there as an animal caretaker where I get hands on experience with both cats and dogs. I have a pretty open summer with plenty of time to take dogs for potty breaks or stop in for some cat playtime! I am available daily and happy to spend time with your kitty. The safety and comfort of both you and your pet are my top priority. As a caregiver, my responsibility is to provide a trusting and comfortable environment for your furry friend. I am attentive and organized which will help me successfully provide top notch care. I am confident in my abilities to feed, walk, play and clean up after cats and dogs.

“Outstanding care for our 12 1/2 year old Labradoodle. Jess was so accommodating with a last minute emergency that came up. Went beyond our expectations when we saw our daily photos. If there were 6 stars I would have given them to her! Highly recommend!”


About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have two of my very own, Stormy a petite bernedoodle and Stella our cockapoo who will be around during visits. We love to walk outside and can easily do solo walks or accompanied walks with your pet. Please let me know any specific details about your pet as we are happy to accommodate. I have a pretty flexible schedule, am usually home every day and can make sure I am home the days I have your pup! I never leave my own dogs alone for more than a couple of hours. Communicate with me your needs and I will be happy to help! We have two of our own small doodles. We love to go out for walks, play, and snuggle on the couch. Let me know anything specific you would like for your pet!
