“Kevin provided wonderful care for our dog while we were out of town for the weekend. He asked thoughtful questions about our dog before sitting him and followed our instructions while here. Our dog has some behavioral quirks so it’s very important to us that his sitter pays attention to detail. Kevin was also timely, reliable, and courteous. By the end of the weekend, it looked like Kevin and Babka were pals. Thanks, Kevin—we hope to book with you again in the future!”
“Pamela was great during an overnight visit with my 2 pups. She communicated regularly, sent updates/pics and the dogs seemed to really like her. Will definitely use her services again!”
About: My name is Kylie and I’ve always had such a strong passion for animals. I’m currently in school to be a licensed veterinary technician. While I pursue this, I also work full time in an animal emergency clinic. I have had 2+ years of animal emergency experience, including large dogs and cats, and even reptiles like snakes! I am comfortable pilling animals and have direct access to emergency care 24/7 in case your fur babies need it❤️. I currently own 2 cats of my own and a ball python. I’ve owned large dogs my whole life including a Cane Corso & Giant Schnauzer! I currently work full time in the animal emergency clinic. My schedule is Tuesday 11a-11p - Friday 7a-7p - Saturday 1p-1a and I do pick up shifts here and there. With this being said, I can come by before and/or after my shifts. I am currently not accepting boarding as my current living situation is not feasible for more animals than I currently own. I can care for pets in your home!
“Alexis is very sweet. She and her boyfriend came to my home to do a meet & greet with my dog. Alexis was attentive and interested when learning how to care for my dog. Alexis sent updates when she arrived at my house, sent pictures of my dog, and let me know when she left. My dog is a pitbull and Alexis was excited about this - which warmed my heart lol. Will be hiring Alexis again! :)”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, I was a bather in a dog salon, and my sister is a vet assistant and pet groomer who I have been learning from. I have spent the last 5 years dog sitting for various friends and family. I currently care for my three year old niece during the day and I have the ability to be home with your pet all day during their stay :) We have a fenced in yard, we live on a quiet dead end street and my sister (who also lives in the home) is a vet assistant and pet groomer who knows emergency protocols. I also care for her pets throughout the day, but separate from boarders during their stay. However, since they are dog-friendly and well socialized, you also have the option to add playtime with them to your dog’s stay!
“Miles did a wonderful job!! He stayed with our 2 cats for 3 nights and gave them so much attention!! He made it easy to travel which is difficult to do with our one girl who doesn’t like to eat while we are away. Miles checked in many times per day and gave updates on how she was eating and how both girls were doing. I highly recommend Miles and will definitely be booking with him next time I am away!”
“Miss Amber went above and beyond in every aspect of her services. Between updates every morning, mid day, and evening, as well as great pictures. Amber was a Dream come true! 10000/10 would recommend, and will be my first call!”
“It was so great to have Joe as a sitter for our pups while we were out of town. He understood that the dogs were not use to being alone over night and was very flexible. We hope to have Joe back in the very near future!”
“Hannah is an excellent sitter. She did a great job sitting at our home with our two Frenchies! Her communication was outstanding. She is motivated and willing to learn. Although she may not have as much experience as other sitters do not hesitate to give her a chance! You will not regret it. Thanks Hannah! We will see you soon!”
About: What sets me apart is that I focus on making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s personality and routine, whether they’re high-energy puppies or older dogs who need a slower pace and extra care. I’m especially comfortable with: - Puppies and young dogs, including reinforcing basic training like leash manners, potty routines, and positive behavior. - Senior dogs who may need gentler walks, medication reminders, mobility support, or a calmer environment. - Dogs with anxiety or shy temperaments, using patience and positive reinforcement to build trust. - Keeping owners updated with photos, walk summaries, and clear communication so they always know how their pet is doing. I treat every dog like they’re my own and aim to provide dependable care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. I work part-time from home remotely, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your dogs. Available for dog walking after 3pm. I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in a client’s home. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, personality, exercise needs, feeding routine, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and companionship while also respecting the owner’s space and routine. I keep litter boxes or outdoor areas clean, monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health, and provide regular updates with photos and messages. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of supervision, affection, and structured routines. I make sure pets have comfortable spaces to rest, opportunities for exercise and enrichment, and slow introductions if other pets are present. My priority is always making pets feel safe, cared for, and loved while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in reliable hands.
“We had a wonderful experience with Merissa. She set up a meet and greet prior to accepting our request, which we very much appreciated. She was punctual and enthusiastic about staying with our dog. Merissa kept us updated and send many pics, we felt very comfortable and confident with her taking care of Dane and he was so excitedto have her here With him. Because of our experience, we have already booked her again and will continue to in the future!”
About: Hello there, fellow pet parents! I’m Taylor and I can’t wait to meet your furry, feathery, and scaly companions! I have spent as much of my life as I can remember caring for and being around all types of animals. Honestly being around animals just makes me the happiest I could be. I have 5 rescue animals of my own! 2 dogs, 2 Cats, and a bird! All of which I rescued not from a shelter but by very happy coincidences! I work part time at a boarding facility so I’m with animals not just at home but at work as well!! I work remote for my full time job half the week so my availability is pretty open. As I work at a boarding facility I have a wealth of experience when it comes to a wide verity of pets. I understand the importances of feeding times, administration of medication, and routines in general. Your pets health and safety is my top priority. I know when I am away from my animals I love getting updates so I believe communication is key. I love sending photos and updates so when you’re not there you can still feel with them! I am dedicated to providing the service that I would want for my pet family. Your pets happiness is my top priority! I am very excited to meet your pets! I work remote half of the week so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals on the other days I can be there before and after my shift. I will treat your dog and your home as if it were my own. I follow the established routine provided by the owner to ensure a stress free and fun time
“We have had Madalyn watch our dog three times so far and have been very happy with the experience and care received. during a recent snow storm, she brought our dog to stay with her at our home, which relieved us greatly.”
“Shantalee was great! We reached out at the last minute and she was very understanding. She took great care of our 3 dogs and was very communicative. She kept them happy and comfortable. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“I have two cats that are very picky about who they will be around and I selected Eydid because their profile shows how passionate they are with cats. It was my first time using Rover or any sitter and I was definitely anxious about it. Eydid is amazing - he took the time to get to know my cats, sit with them, and play with them. They love Eydid and that says a lot! Eydid was very respectful of my home and provided me with great updates and pics & videos of the cats having fun. 10/10 would select again. In fact I already have booked Eydid for another session when I am traveling out of the country :D”

Absolutely thrilled with Ashleigh. She cared for our Afghan Hound and 8 cats!!!! The animals loved her, she sent pics everyday, she has great communication, she cared for our home very well, she is easy going, I can’t say enough positive things about her. Highly highly recommend!!!!
We had a wonderful experience with Kathryn and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter. Kathryn stayed in our home for three nights while caring for our 9-month-old puppy, Steele. Steele is still young and requires a good amount of structure and attention—she can only be crated for up to four hours at a time and eats three meals a day. Kathryn handled all of this seamlessly and kept Steele on her routine without any issues. What we especially appreciated was Kathryn’s care during a slightly more challenging time—Steele was just finishing her heat cycle, and Kathryn managed everything with professionalism and ease. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Steele was in such capable hands. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a house that was just as we left it. Kathryn clearly cares about the animals she looks after and treats them like her own. We would gladly book Kathryn again and highly recommend her to others!
Megan is a fantastic sitter! She was responsive and professional. While I was away, she kept me updated with frequent check-ins, which I really appreciated. She went above and beyond to ensure my pets were comfortable and happy. Having that level of peace of mind is rare, and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter. Thank you Megan!
Kailyn was lovely and took great care of the pets and the house! She let us know she wasn't feeling well the second day but still took care of everyone after we weren't able to arrange a backup. It was obvious that she really read through our instructions and was very thorough and communicative, and the pets seem to have had a good weekend :)
Anna was wonderful with our high-energy 7-month-old Lab! She arrived on time, spent plenty of time outside with her even in the cold, and stayed for five hours. She followed all instructions and made sure our pup was fed lunch and dinner. We felt completely at ease and would absolutely recommend her.
5-Star Review for Pamela – Exceptional Puppy Sitter We were incredibly fortunate to have Pamela care for our young Labrador puppy, Steele, for three nights while we were away. Steele is full of energy, currently teething, and—like many puppies—can be precocious, stubborn, and a handful at times. Despite all that, Pamela handled her with patience, confidence, and genuine affection. From the very beginning, it was clear that Pamela is a seasoned dog person. She took the time to understand Steele’s routines, quirks, and needs, and she always checked in before making any decisions—including asking permission to bring her well-mannered 2-year-old dog for play sessions. Their time together was a huge benefit for Steele’s socialization and energy levels, and it was done thoughtfully and responsibly. Pamela communicated consistently throughout our time away, sending daily updates, videos, and photos. This gave us complete peace of mind knowing Steele was not only safe but happy and engaged. Her attention to detail and willingness to keep us informed truly set her apart. Equally important, Pamela treated our home with the utmost respect—she cared for it as if it were her own. We returned to a spotless house and a very content puppy, which speaks volumes about her professionalism and care. We cannot recommend Pamela highly enough. Her experience, kindness, reliability, and exceptional communication make her an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a trusted sitter—especially for high-energy or challenging puppies. We will absolutely be booking with her again.
