“Did a wonderful job house sitting for my 4 dogs! Was very responsive and sent pictures/videos for us. I felt like she was very reliable and followed all instructions I had for each of my dogs.”

“She was wonderful. The dogs loved her and it was like we weren’t even gone! The house was perfect when we returned and she sent us frequent updates on our canine babies! I will definitely use Elyza again! Thank you so very much!!!”

“Beth was fantastic. Very trustworthy and struck a great balance between letting us know how our dogs were doing and letting us enjoy our trip in peace knowing they were in good hands! We would definitely go with her again.”

“Justin took care of our poochers for a test night. Our one doggie takes a bit longer to warm up, and Justin was kind enough to do multiple meet and greets, and a test night. He's been patient, caring, and accommodating to get the furries comfortable. Couldn't recommend him enough!”

“Ashley is the best, she takes such good care of my boys, even if they are not behaving. She loves them like they are her own, she is one in a million so grateful for her.”
“Joelle was reliable and did a great job taking care of our dog while we were out of town! We received a daily update with a photo to reassure us that everything was going well and that our dog was getting all the cuddle time she needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again in the future.”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life! I’ve had Oliver (frenchie) since he was a puppy, so I’m used to everything from training to daily routines. He requires allergy medication, which means I’m comfortable giving meds and paying close attention to a dog’s needs. I also frequently care for my family’s three dogs (two Frenchies and an English bulldog), so I’m great at handling multiple pups and making sure each one gets the attention they deserve. I’m currently working 3rd shift, so if you’re needing someone in the morning to let out your furry pet I can! Or if you want someone home all day with your pet, that works perfect for me as well! I can do walks during the days (after a little nap). I would say I’m pretty flexible if told ahead of time! I live in an apartment and do have a dog named Oliver. Oliver pretty much gets along with other dogs! If you’d rather your dog not be around another, I’d be more than willing to stay with your pets! My cousin would love watching my dog. I love meeting new fur babies and would love to help whenever I can with whatever you need!
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have a 13-year-old dog, so I understand the care, patience, and attention they need at every stage. I also worked as a Canine Coach in a professional dog daycare, where I supervised group play, monitored behavior, and ensured the safety of multiple dogs at once. Through both personal and professional experience, I’ve developed a strong ability to read dog body language, stay calm in different situations, and create a safe, positive environment. I treat every dog like my own, whether that means matching a high-energy pup or providing extra care for older dogs. I prioritize consistency, clear communication, and attentive care so pet parents feel confident and at ease. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available at a variety of times, including daytime, evenings, and weekends, which allows me to provide consistent and attentive care. As I pursue a future full-time Monday–Friday position, I plan to continue pet care with a strong focus on evening and weekend availability, while still offering additional flexibility when possible. I’m committed to being reliable, communicative, and maintaining consistent, high-quality care so both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I focus on providing attentive, individualized care tailored to each pet’s needs and routine. During walks, I prioritize safety, proper leash handling, and making sure dogs get both physical activity and mental stimulation at a pace that suits them. For drop-in visits, I ensure pets are well cared for by refreshing food and water, providing playtime or enrichment, and giving them attention and companionship. I also carefully monitor behavior, energy levels, and overall well-being during each visit, and I always respect the pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions. I make sure to communicate clearly with pet parents, including updates and photos if desired, so they feel confident and connected while they’re away.

About: I’ve never been bitten. I grew up around strays and my family trusted me to walk them. I lead a volunteer group for The Humane Society, and I just love dogs! They help me deal with military life. I’m big into hiking, and I WILL carry a dog first aid kit XD. I go to School M-F from 8AM-2PM, and Church Sun 8AM-1PM. I need the money, but I do it mostly as a passion project! Very high drive dog friendly. I live in a one bedroom apartment across the street from a MASSIVE dog park. I’m huge into fitness and nature, and I will WALK your dog in nature if you want.
About: I have had a dog of my own for over 23 years and have been caring for others furry family members since I was 11. I will take care of your four legged friends as they are one of my own! I work during the week but have a pretty flexible work schedule that will allow me provide for your pets in any way they need! I care for your four legged friends based on request. I will make sure that I discuss with you on how you want them cared for and then make sure to follow those instructions.
“Rachael was prompt, professional, and a good communicator. She was sweet with my pup and shared lots of pics. This was my first experience with an in-house sitter and she made it great!”

“Rachel did a great job caring for our beloved, Jack. She stayed the night with him while we were away and got him to the park twice every day -- sending a photo every time so we could see his sweet face. She also kept our house in good order, getting packages off the porch, etc. We will use Rachel again!”

About: I have been my friends and neighbors go-to pet sitter since I was about 11. I also worked at a pet boarding facility for 2 summers in high school! I am passionate about providing animals with the best possible care! I am just working over the summer as I will return to college in the fall where I am a student-athlete! I plan to work part-time while also working on photography and selling my art! My own dogs have a fenced in yard and one of them stays in a crate. I care for clients pets as if they are my own. Making sure they are safe and receiving plenty of pets and love!
About: I’m a dog (and cat!) mom looking for a fun way to keep myself accountable on my health journey! I’m a 41 year old mom to a teenage boy, a 9 year old yorkie mix (Severus), and 8 cats! I’ve been on a journey to better myself for the past year and one thing I make sure I do is get my steps in. I thought it would be a great idea to put myself out there to make some new dog friends and help keep me (and the doggos) getting our exercise in! I work full time from home Monday through Friday from 7am to 330pm. My walking availability is any time after my shift end time, and any time on the weekends! I have 10+ years of experience caring for animals, my house is full of love and treats and toys! If you hire me as a walker, you can be assured that same love will be given to your furry friend.
“Bansi took wonderful care of our two pups while my wife and I went away for a few days. We’ve only ever had close friends or family watch our pups for us, so we were a bit nervous trying to find someone through Rover who would spoil and care for them as much as we do, all on pretty short notice. Those nerves quickly went away from the minute we did the initial meet and greet with Bansi in person. From that point all the way until the moment she left our home, she was very professional and communicative with updates (and photos) throughout the weekend, making the process that much easier. We will definitely be booking with Bansi again the next time we need someone to take care of our pups, and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone you can trust to spoil your fur-babies while you’re away - you will not be disappointed! Thank you again, Bansi!”

“Janel did an excellent job caring for my fur family. My dog is usually very anxious, but she made him feel comfortable and at ease. She even bonded with my very nervous cat, which was impressive. All of my other cats were well cared for as well. I highly recommend her for pet sitting!”
