“Madison did such a great job taking care of my two cats - she was very mindful of slowly getting to know them, treated them so well, replied quickly, and sent the best pictures!! Will book again!”

“Sean was our first experience hiring someone to look after our girls. He was extremely responsive, kept us updated, and spent time with our babies. One of them consistently had accidents while we were gone but Sean took care of it every single day no problem. He made sure to spend some time with them in the yard and gave them some brushing due to it being shedding season! Since he lives close to us, he would pop by in to check on them in the afternoon. One of our babies started showing some scary symptoms our last night of vacation and Sean cared as if it was one of his own babies. Sean was fantastic and we highly recommend hiring him!”

About: I love animals and I treat them all as If they were mine. I've always been the pet sitter when friends and fam go out of town. I also have 5 cats of my own 3 inside 2 outside. My schedule is very open and available to take care of your pets. I am also available for the weekends and available for overnight stays as well. I spend time with the pets giving them love and attention. Taking them out for walks if needed and also just following whatever instructions the pet owner gives to ensure Everything the pet needs is taken care of.
“Jill always does an amazing job watching our cats!! She is very communicative and goes above and beyond in showing us that she has followed our instructions/given medicine to our cats.”

“Katlyn is absolutely amazing and I would recommend her to everyone needing a compassionate dog sitter! She came over and checked on our two little dogs three times a day and was amazing at communicating and assisting with our older dog when she started having accidents. We truly appreciated her attentiveness and compassion!!!!”

“This was our first time using rover and I am very happy with the experience. Diamond did a great job even after a mix up in addresses for our home. I was nervous since I’ve never had someone who wasn’t family come check on our dogs, but all my pups seemed to have loved her! She was on time and did everything we asked. Definitely a good first experience using rover!!”


About: I have experience caring for others and personal dogs, cats, and other household pets and I am great with giving them plenty of attention. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I have a flexible schedule and can make time throughout the week to care for pets. So I am available for walks, feeding, play, and general pet care. Pet safety and well-being are my top priorities. I’ll follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special requests. I make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention. I also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for.

About: I’m a high school teacher on summer break, a lifelong dog owner, and someone who genuinely loves being around animals. Teaching has definitely made me patient, calm, and used to paying attention to the little details, which comes in handy when caring for pets. I’m happy to help with both dogs and cats. For dogs, I can help with walks, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and just keeping them company while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, a longer walk, or one of those slow “we must smell every single thing on this street” walks, I’m good with that. For cats, I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and check-ins. I also know cats can be very different from each other. Some want attention and company, and some just want a respectful visitor who handles the basics and gives them their space. I’m happy either way. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to let someone care for your animals. I’ll follow your instructions, communicate clearly, send updates, and treat your pets with patience, kindness, and care. I’m a teacher on summer break, so I have more daytime flexibility than I normally do during the school year. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the summer, depending on the day and location. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine as much as I can. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep their routine as normal as possible. I pay attention to the little things: doors, gates, leashes, food, water, litter boxes, favorite spots, and anything else your pet needs to feel comfortable. I know it can feel weird letting someone else into your home and trusting them with your pet, so I take that seriously. I’ll communicate clearly, send updates, make sure things are secure before I leave, and let you know if I notice anything unusual. Whether your pet needs playtime, space, a calm check-in, or a full report on what the squirrels were doing outside, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and remembered while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and empathy I bring to every pet I look after. As a pet parent myself, I understand that pets are family—not just animals. Recently, I experienced the loss of my own beloved fur baby, which deepened my appreciation for the trust pet owners place in someone caring for their pets. That experience reinforced how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable when their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet's personality, routine, and individual needs, whether that means extra playtime, a slower pace for a senior pet, or simply providing companionship and reassurance. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented. Pet parents can expect regular updates, photos, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing their pet is receiving genuine care and attention. My goal is not just to watch your pet—it's to make them feel cared for, understood, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work a structured schedule that allows me to plan dedicated time for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so providing consistent care, attention, and updates to pet parents is something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it's maintaining a pet's regular routine, administering medications if needed, or simply providing extra affection and exercise, I make sure each pet receives personalized care and attention. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine is respected, so I take the time to learn each pet's feeding schedule, exercise needs, preferences, and any special instructions. In both my home and a client's home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible through regular walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also provide updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and connected while they're away. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I monitor pets closely, ensure they have access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and opportunities for play and enrichment throughout the day. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands.

About: I am a passionate dog lover and have been since I can remember. I have a large fenced in shady back yard that I treat regularly for fleas and ticks.

Lela About this sitter: I am a very compassionate, caring, and patient person, especially with animals and the elderly. I will love and care for your dog/cat to the point where he/she will always want to come back for another visit. Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs since I can remember. I was always bringing home strays as a little girl and drove my parents crazy. My last three dogs I have adopted from rescues, who have very strict guidelines. This time I chose to raise a puppy from the get go and her name is Zena. Actually, all dogs love me. I have never been without a dog for long and when I didn't have a dog, it was just because I didn't have the time to give them the attention I know they need. About my yard I have a wonderful mostly shaded fenced in back yard with two separate fenced in areas. My yard has three different levels, each lower than the other, but each level ground with barrier walls. If dogs needed to be separated while outside, my yard is equipped for this. All total, I believe it about 2000 square feet, with a shaded back porch as well. My hope would be that I am never in the situation to have to separate dogs, but I am equipped to do this, if needed. My yard is bigger than my house, even though my house is small, it is very comfortable.
