We really liked Jenny and more important our dogs really liked her too. She even came early and turned on the fans we forgot to turn on when we left. I would have her back anytime.

Lisa was a fabulous caregiver for my cat, Rizzo! She is a loving and caring person and went above and beyond the perimeters of our engagement and spent extra time with him, bought him toys, and watched over my house and watered flowers too in my absence. I highly recommend her for any pet care or house sitting or both.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for over 15 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m attentive, patient, and great at reading animal behavior, whether that means giving energetic dogs plenty of exercise or providing calm, gentle care for seniors or anxious pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work part-time and set my own schedule, which allows me to be very flexible and accommodating to my clients’ needs. I’m able to adjust my availability for walks, drop-ins, or extended care, including weekdays and weekends, and I prioritize clear communication to ensure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I have a fenced-in yard and prioritize a calm, safe environment for all pets in my care. I have two cats who are kept comfortably separated with their own space when dogs are visiting, as I understand transitions can be challenging. I’m very mindful of introductions, happy to crate dogs if needed, and always follow owner preferences and routines to ensure pets feel secure and well cared for.

About: My yougest child as now reached adulthood and I'm need to fill my time I use to spend with my kids with your fur babies!! I've had all kinds of pets since I was a kid. I lived on a small farm and we always had animals around. Dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, ext. I currently have 2 dogs of my own and they are just like family to me. I currently work full time during the day but would like to help those that have to work long hours and different shifts during the weekdays. I am available most every weekend and state holidays all day. For weekend holidays or overnight stays. I do not have a fenced in yard so I would perfer to stop by your home and take your pet for a walk and get some exercise where they're most comfortable.

About: I have 3 German shepherds, and I know how much care goes into making sure they are well-fed, trained, and taken care of. Your pets are family, and I would treat them as though they were my own. I also am a runner, and I run with my own dogs - up to 3 at a time (size and temperament dependent). If you have a dog who loves to run (or who needs to), I would love to have them join the crew. If your dog has behavioral challenges, this may be something we can do to wear them out and make them one happy pup. I would love to share my own experience with you to help you learn just how important structured exercise is to your pups (and your!) lifestyle. I work for myself, and I have quite a bit of flexibility with my schedule. I'm open to coming up with a schedule that works for both of us. I treat every animal as if they were my own. That means lots of play time, attention, and overall just good fun. That being said, if you have house rules, then we will follow them accordingly.

About: My name is Laura. I have been a dog owner my whole life. I have been a Rover sitter on and off for about 5 years and would love to take care of your fur babies while you are out of town. I have owned several special needs animals and am good at working with animals of all temperments. I have experience dealing with dogs of all ages and sizes. I especially love caring for older dogs who may need a little extra care and attention. I have worked with large groups of dogs and am willing to take care of several at a time if you have a large pet family. I have open availability and would love to play with your dog and make sure they are well taken care of. I have a full time job with flexibility. As long as I have about a weeks notice it should not be a problem to accommodate weekday visits to pets. Weekends are no problem. I like to do an initial house visit with the owner to get an idea of what the house looks like and where the pet is comfortable. If we cannot get a face to face meeting first please message me with detailed care instructions to ensure proper care for your pet.

About: I have experience fostering dogs with the animal shelter APL and have a small toy poodle of my own. He is very friendly with other dogs and loves to play. I love dogs and would love to have the opportunity to watch dogs and take care of others! I am open to watching dogs for a couple hours, a day, or even a couple of days if that is what is needed. My house has a small backyard and I am also available to do drop ins at the dogs own home. The area is very quiet and would be comfortable for another dog to be in. If I am caring for someone else's dog I plan on being home for the time I'm watching the dog so that it will be well taken care of. I’m currently only working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals. I am available early mornings or early afternoons to give your animal a break during the workday! I am also available any time on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I have a toy poodle and a golden retriever. I can also do drops in to walk or play with your dog as well!

About: I have been taken care of animals since I can remember! I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals/different breeds and I love it! I have been taking care for friends and family, and I’m just trying to get more out there! I’d cuddle with them, play with them, feed them and give them treats, I take them on walks, I’ve taken some dogs to get groomed, I’ve even given baths before, and I’d do whatever needed to be done! I’ve stayed over night with animals before while the owners were out of town and I love being with new animals! I’ve also had to take care of some animals that needed insulin and other medications! I used to have a senior dog that I would have to help get up and carry outside when he needed to go! I love taking care of any animals and have so much fun doing it! I am currently working part time so I’d definitely have time to play with the animals and take them out as many times as needed! I work morning shifts so I’m free in the afternoon! I’m always taking care of my animals as well so I’m definitely used to it! My kitties have a cat tree they love and lots of toys we play with! I can do whatever is needed to take care of them! I can create your dog if necessary!

Shelbie went above and beyond again. We went from one low maintenance pup during her last visit to two high maintenance ones this time. She handled that and more with grace. You know you have found the right sitter when you feel they take better care of your pups than you do :) Thanks, Shelbie! The girls can't wait until our next trip.

About: I’ve dog sat for many family friends since I was 16 and have had no complaints! I’ve also raised my own miniature dachshund since she was a baby! I’m currently a senior in high school and working part time at skateland. However, I will always prioritize pet care. I go to school at 8:40 and leave at 2:35 so I can take care of animals before and after school. I work in the evening and make sure I leave in time to take care of the pets. In my home, I bathe the dogs at least once every two weeks. More if they get dirty. My dogs get fed a rice mixture every day at 5 pm. I don’t keep them outside for more than 5 minutes if it’s not warm. I would apply all of this to anyone else’s pet!

Amanda is wonderful. The love for our pet Doris was obvious & vice versa. She's kind, gentle & left us without any worries while we were away. Amanda stayed in touch with us, which is a nice perk! She's topnotch & we'll be having her come back as often as we can. We highly recommend Amanda for any of your home/pet needs!!!
