“We could not recommend Liz enough! It was our first time leaving our 8 month old puppy for an extended amount of time, so we were a little nervous. Liz came to our house to meet our puppy, Gilligan, before we left and was so communicative with us during our trip! She sent us pictures, videos & updates during her visits. She was so sweet and caring to our crazy little monster, she even left us the cutest report card of how he did when we returned home. We will definitely be using Liz again!”

About: I have taken care of senior dogs my whole life. My beloved dogs lived to the ages of 19 and 17 years. I have a special place in my heart for seniors. I am a retired teacher and my hours are very flexible. The first walk of the day for my own dog is usually 8am and her final walk is between 9 and 10 pm. I have a fenced yard but I give my dog three walks a day. My dog is a an eight year old , fourteen pound doxie mix who would welcome the company of another dog since we recently lost her beloved companion.

14. Emilee S.

“Emilee has been pet sitting & caring for friends, coworkers & family pets for years. As her mom, I taught her to understand that animals, like people, have their own personalities and temperament, animals are special, they are family members. She enjots taking them on walks, making sure they have plenty of exercise, even has taken pets to the vet for checkups. Literally, every pet Emilee has cared for, pet sat or had time with, is special to her, loved and cared for. I highly recommend Emilee to provide the very best care for the pets, which she is entrusted with. I firmly believe that Rover customers that hire Emilee, will be happy with her pet care skills and professionalism.”

I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years, and every pup I meet holds a special place in my heart. I currently do dog walking and sitting as a side business while I attend college, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I have experience with dogs of all energy levels and personalities, including anxious pups who may need a little extra TLC. My goal is to make your dog feel happy, safe, and loved while you're away. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just some cuddle time on the couch, I’m here to ensure your furry friend feels at home. I’d love to meet you and your pup—let’s set up a meet-and-greet today! As a college student, I’ve designed my schedule to make time for my dog-walking and pet-sitting side business. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I prioritize each pup’s needs around my classes and studies. Caring for dogs is not just a job—it’s a highlight of my day! I also make sure to dedicate weekends to longer walks, park visits, or house-sitting to give your furry friend all the attention they deserve. When pets stay with me, they’re treated like family! I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can relax and play. Dogs are free to roam, nap, or cuddle on the couch. I follow any special feeding, medication, or exercise routines you provide and make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and playtime.

18. Courtney D.
About: With years of vet tech experience combined with a life filled with the love and care for all animals, I’d love to help care for your fur babes! I am available to come to your home for daily walks or playtime. I also offer boarding directly from my own home for dogs of all sizes. Within my own home I not only have plenty of yard space for play time but also love to go for walks with 4 legged friends. Given my experience in vet medicine, I am able to administer medications if need be, even with the friskiest of friends. Being a stay at home mom, I’m mostly home with my kids so I have an open schedule. This gives me plenty of daily room to tend to the needs of your pets! With my fairly large fenced in yard, it gives plenty of space for free roaming time if boarding is the what you chose. Also, walks are always in the schedule along with lots of pets and cuddle whether it’s at my home or visits at yours.


19. Lina C.

“Made the appointment, was flexible with the time, she worked great with my dogs - my one that I thought I needed to “introduce” to her ran over and immediately gave her affection”


20. Catherine S.

“Catherine is great! I knew from our meet and greet that she is a genuine animal lover! She immediately got down onto the floor to calmly and gently introduce herself to my cat. Dani went right up to her with confidence. Catherine took such good care of my Dani while I was on vacation. She made sure that she had plenty of food and water each day and tended to the litter box. Catherine took time to pet, brush, and play with Dani too. She also took a lot of great photos. I could see from the photos that Dani was thoroughly enjoying Catherine’s company and attention. I will definitely use Catherine in the future and confidently recommend her pet sitting services to others.”
