Samantha was available on a few hours notice. I appreciate that, and great updates on visits. My puppy chewed up paper towels and she was nice to pick it up. So grateful for her help.

Leslie is so wonderful at watching our dogs and letting us know how they are doing. Thank you so much! It was great to not worry about our fur babies while we’re away.

Fantastic sitter! I’m so glad that I went with Rover. Cerissa was flexible and accommodating, with great communication. She is great with my dog and pampered him just as I would. I will definitely be booking with her again!

Jonnelle is great with my pup! I know I don’t have to worry about her while I’m away when Jonnelle is around for walks and potty breaks. She won my shy pups trust with her patience and belly rubs :)

About: I have had 3 years of experience house sitting for families with dogs and cats, big and small, young and old. I love to be able to help families and be able to keep their animals happy and well fed. I am currently working a full time job but have plenty of time on the weekends or after work to check on your pus, give them a walk and some love! I have a yorkie poodle named Phoebe, she is my baby and I love her so much. I will make sure to always treat your babies the same. All dogs or cats need love and attention. Sometimes the owner can’t always be there. I will be glad to lend a hand!

About: I have taken care of pets since i was a kid. Raised on a farm i cared for many different animals and pets. As an adult i am a responsible pet owner that treats my own pets as part of family and i aim to to treats my clients pets and homes with the same respect. I have trained and cared for my own puppies over the years and as a pet care giver i have taken care of foster pups, changing pee pads, keeping crates clean and puppies fed several times through the day. For my senior clients i make sure to attend to physical limitations, while sticking to important medication schedules. I strive to treat your home and pets with the same care i would treat my own. Supporting any maintenance activities that need attention while home owners are away. With regular check ins with pet/home owners to ensure peace of mind. I am currently unemployed and working to get a rental property up and running. The project requires minimal supervision. So i am able to support your home and pet care needs daily. In home pet care is managed per pet owner instructions with specific parameters being defined during meet and greets with clients and pets. I will travel to you home to review any pet care and home needs and interact with your pets so that we can see how we all get along. While in your home i strive to keep your pets on the same walking, feeding and medication schedules with occasional day trips with the pets away from the home, with pet owner approval. I check in daily with any updates on how the pets are doing. You can rest assured that any maintenance needs and schedules are kept up with around the home. Watering plants and the lawn, putting out the trash, picking up mail and any other light maintenance tasks that are needed around the home, while you are away. Upon departure i will clean up the house and make sure it left in the same condition or cleaner than when i arrived. Washing any dishes and bedding used for overnights or just keeping your home secure when i leave.

About: I have former experience an Animal shelter technician as well as being a vet assistant. These jobs specialized in medical attention and care of dogs and cats. I currently babysit in the morning, nights and weekends are preferred but I’m willing to house sit as well as pet sit. I have a pretty flexible schedule. A typical pet sitting day is, feeding, letting the animal relieve themselves, walk or let out into the yard. Return later to feed and crate or if the animal has specific living accommodations.

About: Hello fellow dog lovers! With over 20 years of experience owning and caring for dogs, I understand the deep bond between humans and their furry companions. Although I cannot host pets in my rental, I’d love to take your dog for a walk or house sit where they feel most comfortable- your home! I work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide care both during and outside of regular business hours. Whether it’s a midday walk, evening playtime or weekend adventure, I’m here to ensure your dog receives the attention, love and exercise they deserve. If you book me for pet sitting in your home, you can feel at ease knowing that I will respect your space and make it a goal of mine to leave your space as clean as you left it. Let’s connect and discuss how I can offer your dog the right care and attention to make you feel comfortable when you can’t be with them. I look forward to meeting you and your pups! I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule! I can provide pet services within or outside of regular business hours- let’s discuss your pets needs and I can likely fit them in to my schedule, no problem! I love clients who offer detailed lists of their pets needs and daily routines! I used to do the same with my dog and know that following something like this gives everyone involved (dogs included!) ease of mind.

As someone who is extremely particular about who I trust with my dogs, finding the right sitter felt like a daunting task. After coming across Leo's profile and seeing her glowing reviews, we decided to take a chance and schedule a meet and greet — and I'm so glad we did. From the moment Leo arrived, she put my mind completely at ease. She was professional, warm, and had an incredible way with my boys — they took to her almost instantly, which honestly said everything I needed to know. We went ahead and booked her, and she exceeded every expectation. She sent daily photo updates and kept me in the loop during each drop-in visit. Knowing my dogs were happy, safe, and well cared for made all the difference. I never once second-guessed my decision. We will absolutely be booking Leo again. If you're a pet parent who doesn't trust just anyone with your fur babies, look no further — Leo is the real deal!

About: I’m a huge animal lover! I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life. I can go from medical needs, to play time, to caregiving. My family and I have 5 dogs and 2 cats, so I know how stressful it can become when you need to leave for a few days. That’s why I’m here to help & make that time less overwhelming. I always make sure the animals have a calm environment, frequent potty trips, & lots of love! I love to play to get the energy out so there can be a calm house.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life, from growing up around animals on my grandparents’ farm to raising and rescuing my own. I currently have two rescue dogs and a rescue cat, and I’ve also fostered animals, including raccoons, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and needs. Since 2020, I’ve provided pet care professionally. From 2023–2025, I worked full-time in Colorado with a partner, caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and energy levels. I’ve also cared for small animals like ferrets and gerbils. I have extensive experience with anxious and reactive dogs and understand how to handle them calmly and safely. I’m comfortable using different leash and harness setups, following specific routines, and administering medication when needed. I prioritize clear communication and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you always know your pet is safe and cared for. I treat every pet with patience, structure, and respect for their individual needs. My schedule is flexible, and I prioritize pet care around my day to make sure your pets get the time and attention they need. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and extended care, including weekends. I do my best to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, use proper leash and harness setups, and make sure all doors, gates, and entry points are secure at all times. I have experience with anxious and reactive dogs, so I stay calm, aware, and in control in different situations. I respect your home, keep things clean, and communicate clearly throughout each visit.

About: I’ve always had love for every dog that I see, having a job that makes me see dogs everyday makes me happy. All types of dogs. I’m not currently employed, just in school right now so I will have more than enough time to play and care for your dogs whenever. I will follow all instructions that you will provide, I will message if anything is wrong. I’m very neat and clean in my own home and will be in yours.

Donna is amazing. We have a parrot that can be a bit much but she handled her with no problem. All of our fur babies were well cared for.
