Megan worked with our fluid schedule and won our dog over with patience and treats. She communicated well and offered suggestions and insights from her years of experience, which helped our dog feel more at ease, and in turn, us more at ease as well.

About: Ive been a pet owner and lover most of my life. When I was 11 years old I volunteered at an SPCA pet shelter. Ever since then I have a special place in my heart for doggies and kitties. My wife is also a Rover Sitter. I am retired and enjoy getting out, helping people and their furry kids. I can show up with a 1 day notice, anytime M-F. Thank you! I prefer to see your pet at your own property. My yard is not fenced, but I can walk them on a leash if necessary. With 3 cats and a dog, my house is pet proof. My wife is also a Rover Sitter.

Lindsay did an absolutely amazing job with our kitty, Ella!! She not only followed all of the schedules but shared photos with us while we were away! Lindsay took the time to play with Ella and comfort her in our absence. She gave us peace of mind that our Ella was well taken care of! We will definitely be utilizing Lindsay again!!

Rebekkah did drop by visits for my two cats while I was out of town and was great! She was responsive, caring and took care of all their needs. I would definitely book Rebekkah again and would highly recommend her.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old. As soon as I was trusted with the responsibility, I was all in. Dogs have been a joyful and consistent part of my life ever since. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies who need structure and patience to senior dogs who benefit from a slower pace and extra gentleness. I understand how important routine, positive reinforcement, and consistency are for helping dogs feel safe and secure. As a healthcare worker, I bring an added level of attentiveness, responsibility, and calm patience to the dogs in my care. I’m detail-oriented, observant, and committed to making sure each dog’s physical and emotional needs are met. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” dogs - I truly engage with them. Whether that’s structured walks, playtime to burn energy, or relaxed companionship, I tailor my care to your dog’s unique personality. You can expect dependable communication, photo updates, and a sitter who genuinely enjoys every tail wag along the way. 🐾 My job has me working three days a week, which means the other four days I’m fully available and dedicated to caring for pups! On my off days, I have flexible availability for walks and drop-ins. Even on my working days, I’m organized and intentional with my schedule, and I only accept bookings I know I can give proper time and attention to. I believe dogs deserve unhurried, dependable care - not just a quick stop-in. My goal is to provide consistency, communication, and peace of mind so you can feel confident your dog is well cared for. 🐾 Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to maintaining your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. Familiar environments help dogs feel secure, and I do everything I can to keep that consistency. I’m attentive during walks, mindful of surroundings, and cautious with other dogs and unfamiliar situations. Leashes, doors, gates, and feeding instructions are always double-checked. As a healthcare worker, I’m observant and quick to notice changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels. You can trust that I will treat both your dog and your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. Clear communication and photo updates are always part of the experience, so you feel connected and confident while you’re away. 🐾

Lillie has been exceptional with the dogs and equally exceptional as a professional. She has house sat and dropped in with my dogs on several occasions. She is communicative, punctual and treated my dogs not only like family, but maintained our training and routine. Owning a large working breed requires a certain proclivity and understanding that Lillie has. It is hard to find this level of care or trust that is required for in home dog sitting. My only complaint is that she has other clients and I can’t have her all to myself!

Cyndi saved our last trip as a family before our oldest goes off to college. Our dog care plans fell through and Cyndi was both flexible with our schedule, as well as our large and timid dog. I cannot thank her enough.

About: I currently work as a kennel tech full time, so I have daily experience with cats and dogs! I can sit for baby animals and administer medicines for any who may need it. I have been pet sitting for nearly 10 years now, and I am a life-long lover of animals and cat mom. I am leaving for a summer in South Korea very soon, through my university. It would mean a lot to me if you would help me on that journey. I am currently working full-time as a kennel tech! My schedule varies from week to week, but most days I am free before 8a and after 5p. This can vary depending on the service; I do not take other animals into my home as I have two shy cats. However, I am more than capable of cleaning litter boxes, feeding, and playing.

About: I have grown up with my dogs since before I could walk! I have a history of taking care of all sorts of animals. Dogs, cats, small animals, and even alpacas! I am a full-time student, but most of my classes are in the afternoon. I am completely free on the weekends. I am available every morning and late afternoons/nights. I currently don't have any pets in my home because I live in an apartment. When I am not at school I have three little dogs at my parent's house. I have crate trained and leash trained them.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats, lizards, geckos, turtles and toads, and have always loved the companionship that they bring. I am always surrounded by animals as they bring me so much joy.I have done various pet sitting, dog walking and pet&house sitting gigs and services, and have also worked on a farm. I'm unable to have a pet as of right now with my work situation (outdoor adventure guide) and would love to take care of your precious little family member and give them the best company while you're gone! I work part time with a random schedule so I am available pretty frequently and for most days, either for part of it or the whole day. I will gladly watch over your place and help out with anything else there if needed on top of providing great care for your beloved pet

Caroline was prompt and attentive to my new rescue Mr Bean, I appreciate the time she spent with him in the yard, keeping an eye out for his safety, not leaving him alone and playing with him. He was so calm and confident when I got home. I wil us her again and cannot recommend her enough!
