“Hope is kind, and my dog, Artie, took to her very quickly. I even think he might have been looking for her or wondering where she was after I got home. She is also so great about providing updates and photos if that's what you're looking for.”


“We found Beth in a pinch on very short notice and she was wonderful. The 4 dogs loved her immediately. We have had a run of bad luck with dog sitters for a few years so very grateful to have found Beth. We are already planning to book her again next month😃.”


“Shadae is excellent and is very enthusiastic about caring for pets! She always sends so many updates and pictures, it gives me peace of mind while I am away! I will be booking with her any time she is available and I have plans to be away!”


“Jordan was great! She gave us frequent updates and photos of our dog and cat while we were away. She was also a very kind guest in our home. We will definitely be reaching out to her any other time our animals need care!”


“FANTASTIC PET SETTER and a wonderful person. Debbie is a hard working and reliable person ! We would trust Debbie with our lives! I highly recommend Debbie without any doubt! THANK YOU MISS DEBBIE!”


“This was our first time using anybody to watch our dog and home other than family or a boarding center, so we were super skeptical about the Rover process and hiring a stranger to watch our fur baby. However, quickly after meeting Logan, we knew we would welcome her in our home! She was very responsive, friendly and obviously loved animals. These traits were still apparent while she watched our dog in our home for 10 days. She sent us 2-3 pictures or videos of our dog daily (but also stated she didn’t have to if we didn’t want to be bothered on vacation) and we loved getting those updates! When we returned, the house was nice and clean, including fresh laundry and an empty dishwasher. She also offered to water our flowers and they were surprisingly healthier looking when we got back so I know she spent time holding up that offer too. Overall, our dog seemed happy and well cared for and we were pleased with the level of communication she provided. We will definitely use Logan again and would highly recommend her to anybody needing a pet sitter! We just hope she doesn’t get too popular! Thank you Logan!”


About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs since I was 14. I’ve given medicine, gone for needed late night walks, and have a flexible schedule that can work around your pets’ needs! I work from home, so my schedule can adjust as needed. There is the occasional in-person meeting, but I’m almost never gone more than 4 hours and will know in advance so we can figure out a proper solution. My work has usually included the basics of pet-care such as feeding them, taking them outside, and giving them proper attention. On occasion I’ve given medicine, helped stay consistent with basic training, and am more than willing to stay overnight.

“Dhara housesat the dogs while I was on a week vacation. The dogs hada great time and she left the house clean and made my vacation more enjoyable by making sure my fur babies were safe and happy too. So thankful!”


“Jenna stepped up when I needed her. She did a great job and I appreciated her attention to detail. I would use Jenna again and recommend her to anyone looking for quality care.”


About: I’ve been pet sitting and house sitting for many years for family, friends, and neighbors. I have experience house sitting, pet sitting, dog walking, and lots of experience with cats. My most recent pet I had for nearly 9 years was a cat I found at the shelter- we became inseparable. I’ve spent the last year traveling the US in my self converted camper van, and I’ve felt that the lifestyle doesn’t suite having a pet at this time- so being able to step in and help others with their animal’s needs truly fills a void in my heart! My most memorable pet sitting gig was for a litter of 8 Dutch Shepherd puppies and their momma. I also have experience with senior pet care and enjoy taking pets out and about if the owners would like. I also clean houses on the side which has exposed me to many different kinds of animals in the home and their varying personalities, needs, and sensitivities. Please let me know if you have any questions. Looking forward to being of service to you and your pet/home! 😌 I’m currently working in the surrounding area for a cleaning company. My daytime hours are pretty full doing that, however I am available for evening care as well as overnight care. Let me know if you would like more details regarding my schedule! I recognize what a large responsibility and privilege it is to step into someone else’s home and to care for their pets who have become their family. I treat each animal and home as if they were my own and try my very best to accommodate the specific needs of your pet whether it be crating, potty, medication schedules, anxiety, play time/favorite toys, etc.

About: I grew up with all different species of pets and am comfortable and more than happy to care for any pet you have! I have loved animals my entire life! I have experience with companion animals, pocket pets, and reptiles/exotics. I worked at a doggy daycare center for two years and have professional veterinary clinical experience for three years total, so I am most knowledgeable about animal behavior, health, and wellness. Bonus: I graduated from Purdue University and have a Bachelor’s Degree in Animal Science! I have always had a huge passion for animals of all breeds and sizes! I have dog sat for friends and family, and would absolutely love to have furry friends over to give them lots of love while you’re gone! I am currently not employed, which is subject to change. I have open availability M-F as well as weekends for all of your pet needs! My biggest concern is to give your pets a safe, stress-free, and fun atmosphere. I will give your pet constant supervision and ensure he/she is well fed, given fresh water, and LOTS of love! I will provide walks for high energy dogs, give baths, and trim nails all upon request. I will make sure your pet comes home happy and healthy. I will send picture/video updates throughout your pet’s stay to show you how much fun we are having together! I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet in the hands of a stranger, and I am here to decrease your anxiety and give you more peace of mind by knowing your pet is being treated like one of my own—FAMILY!

About: I’ve taken care all sorts of animals ever since I was a kid. I also showed goats in 4- H for ten years.

About: I am a veterinary student. I'm comfortable caring for animals at every stage of life—including neonates (newborns).

In addition to neonatal care, I’m also experienced with senior pets, including administering medications and mobility support.

You can trust that your pet is in caring, capable I'm very flexible and have plenty of time. As of now when I am a student, I will be free to take nights throughout the week I have three indoor cats they are not allowed to go outside. Because it is too dangerous in my area.

About: I've had at least one pet my whole life. I grew up with an older dog that gave me a safe and comforting feeling. I am well experienced with different personalities and ages. I make sure my pets have been taken care of and also played with, that they feel loved and safe as my first dog had made me feel. I wake up fairly early at 6am to 7am. I make sure my animals are let out and fed soon after. I make sure throughout the day they have been given plenty of time to exercise and play before bedtime. The first thing I would do when first meeting a new friend is to not rush into it. I'd get to know them and their routine especially cats because they don't like their routine changed. They would have all their needs met even if it was specific on time and amounts. I would give additional attention and care for your pet because they experience a lot of stress while their owner is away.

Rachel B.
“I had a wonderful experience with Rachel who watch our two Boxers. Our girl CJ was an old lady who was prone to accidents and Tank who was easily 90lbs of energy. Rachel was communicative, responsible, and clearly experienced with large, active breeds. She took the time to get to know CJ and Tanks schedule and needs. The dogs were happy and well cared for. I don't think they missed me at all. It's not always easy to find someone who can confidently handle two big dogs, but she did it with ease and genuine affection. Even more recently, our Dutch Shepherd had a litter of puppies! Rachel helped watch the pups from when they were just a few days old until they were ready to go home. She handled them, made sure they nursed, mixed their gruel, took them through stimulation protocols, and didn't hesitate to clean up after their messes. Rachel has proven herself capable to take care of tough breeds (i.e., Dutchies and Boxers) at every stage of life from new born pups to senior dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter.”
