“Megan was great—we loved meeting her before our trip and Scout immediately fell in love. They went on two walks a day and she took great care of our girl and our home while house sitting. We already booked her again. Thank you!”

About: Hey,thank you for considering me as a dog walker or pet sitter! I've been working for Rover on and off for ten years or so. I've always been an animal lover, some would say "pet whisperer"and had cats and dogs my whole life. I'm currently living in the Stockbridge area with my girlfriend and her 15 cats, 4 chickens, horse and donkey and have my own rescue Weimaraner pit mix, which I have had for almost a year. I trained him to be a service dog while I drove for Lyft. I'm looking forward to meeting your babies I'm currently working part time at mellow mushroom and use my free time to work on the farm but I'm generally available for most times I'm adept at getting dogs to play and have fun during our walks. Every dog is different so it may take some time before they're ready to run,or maybe they need extra time playing with a ball


3. Brianna K.

“Brianna has been a great sitter both times she has cared for my little girl. She responded quickly whenever I checked in with her. She asked questions if she had any concerns or needed more information. I came back twice to a clean home and a happy dog. I certainly recommend her sitting services.”


4. Heather P.

“We are so happy that we found Heather. ❤she sent lots of pics and updates on our dogs 🐕. They seem very happy. The house was cleaner than I left it.we will definitely use her next time we travel.”


5. ella l.

“Ella is an excellent pet sitter. I felt very comfortable leaving both my cat and dog with her. She did a great job and I will definitely book her in the future.”


6. taylor s.
“Thank you so much for all you did!”


7. Laraine B.

“Laraine was fantastic. She kept me updated and sent pictures of Lenny, so I didn't have to worry about anything while on vacation. I knew he was in good hands, and I will definitely use her again—I highly recommend her.”


8. Nora B.
About: I’ve had the pleasure of volunteering at a boarding facility for dogs, which has been a fantastic experience. I really enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and finding out what they like. This helps me tailor my approach to make sure they’re comfortable and happy. I’m experienced in giving baths, trimming nails, and administering medications, & handling temperament appropriately. which has taught me a lot about keeping dogs healthy and content. Playing with dogs is one of my favorite parts of the job. It’s a great way for me to burn off some energy while giving the dogs the exercise they need. I always make sure they have plenty of water during and after playtime. I’m keen on following what each dog enjoys, so any insights you can share about your dog’s preferences would be really helpful. I look forward to making sure your dog feels well-cared for and has a great time! NOTE: The requests that I decline are SPAM requests, I am always available at the times I set on my calendar. Thank you pet parents :) I have a part time online job that I do at nights and it’s not demanding or distracting so I can put it off for however many days I’d like and get back to it later. I own a snake so if anyone ever needs reptile boarding or care let me know I’d be happy to provide my services :). (my snake is always kept in her cage while caring for pets you do not have to worry there will be no contact between your animals and my snake:) If you are big on needing a fence, I have an invisible fence in my back yard with a shock collar if he goes past the lines for my family’s dog, if you’d prefer that let me know bc i hate that they have it for my family’s dog shock collars are wrong. I can easily crate your dog if you’d like that at night when boarding, I just ask bring your own crate. I can also let your dog and my family’s dog (neutered male black lab) play if you’d like. Bring specific food for your dog if you can/want I love accommodating & if you have any further questions just reach out :).


9. Shante Hailey J.

“I needed to go out of town for a work trip for a week and I was looking for a place to board my husky named Loki. He is seizure prone, requires close observation and monitoring, takes medication twice a day and is also a very picky eater, so feeding can be a challenge I checked with a sitter that I had previously used but she was all booked up. She recommended that I try in home sitting, which I was really reluctant to do. However, Hailey reached out to me through a phone conversation and explained to me the process, reassuring me that in home sitting was going to be the way to go and she was the perfect fit for the job! The morning of her arrival, Loki started showing signs of an incoming seizure. He got through it but then I was really nervous about leaving him in her care. We talked about it for a bit and she reassured me that everything would be ok. She had me write down his schedule and routine in great detail, including his medication times and any indicators she should look for. While I was away, Hailey did a very good job keeping me up-to-date with frequent, daily updates on his medication, eating, mood and activity level. She sent me pictures of him receiving his medication twice a day. She also called whenever she had any questions or concerns about his preferences or changes in behavior. As the week progressed, Loki was able to warm up to Hailey to the point where he started following commands and obeying the rules of feeding time. Hailey was able to put my mind at ease while being so far away, as I grew less and less concerned with whether Loki was in safe hands. Hailey even send me a photo of them cuddling after day 2! I will definitely be looking for Hailey for future sitting arrangements and I highly recommend her to anyone that has pets with special needs, and especially those that have never tried or are hesitant about in home sitting. If I could give 100 stars, I would give 110.”


10. savannah w.
“Savannah is incredibly reliable and thoughtful when it comes to caring for pets. She used to have a dog of her own, Wallie, that she would plan her day around. She always made sure Wallie was fed on time, let outside regularly, and well cared for. She also took amazing care of my family’s cats (Phoebe, Citrus, and Serat), always making herself available to ensure they had everything they needed. I trust her completely with any animal.”


11. Phoebe F.

“Phoebe was great, as she usually is. This is the second time we have used her services and our dogs seemed happy and relaxed when we returned home. She left our house clean and provided pictures throughout her stay. We will use her again. Thanks Phoebe!”


12. Annika L.

“Our dog Finn loves Annika! annika is very prompt and responsible, follows care instructions in detail. We have really enjoyed having her as our sitter!”


13. Olivia S.

“Olivia was a wonderful house sitter for my dog and three cats. Everyone was safe and well cared for while I was away. She did a great job sending pictures and was a lovely guest. I am so glad she was able to watch them and will definitely keep her in mind for future trips. Thank you so much, Olivia!!”


14. Loan L.
About: Hi there! So lovely to meet you! My name is Loan and I have cared for pets since I was 18! I’ve dog sat and was a frequent dog walker up until December of 2021 when I got my very own pup! I am now back in business and ready to love your pup as if they were my own and my own pup will love your pup as if they were her siblings! I have a full-time work from home job so your pup will always have someone watching them (unless I am running errands). Although I do not have my own yard, potty breaks are always frequent and I never miss walks! Your pup will never be left alone as I have the friendliest pup ever but if things get overwhelming, I can always crate all dogs and make sure everyone is happy and calm. Since I WFH, your pup will always be on 24/7 watch so there won’t be any room for concern!


15. Kyle C.
About: From the moment I can remember, my life has been intertwined with the wagging tails and playful barks of dogs. Born into a family of dog lovers, we always had at least one furry friend scampering around the house. My first memory is of a fluffy golden retriever named Buddy, who was my constant companion during my childhood adventures. Every afternoon, we'd race through the backyard, Buddy’s fur glistening in the sunlight as he chased after me, his joyful barks echoing in the neighborhood. When it comes to dog care, having a consistent schedule is vital for their happiness and well-being. Here's an overview of how I plan to create a routine that reflects your dog's lifestyle while ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in my care. I know how much your furry friends mean to you. They are not just pets; they are beloved members of your family. When it comes to seeking someone to care for them, trust is paramount. I want to take this opportunity to share why I can be that trustworthy companion you need for your dog.


16. Jayda S.
“We used Jayda for dog sitting and she did a great job. I was able to get ahold of her if needed. She followed all the instructions I had set out for her. There were no issues. I would recommend.”


17. Summer W.
“I can’t recommend Summer enough! If you want to ensure your fur child is in safe hands but has an epic day Summer is the person to call. I have an excitable lab that needs daily walks and frisbee time, and Summer goes above and beyond ensuring he gets out all that energy. I also have a few random meal requests that she follows and makes sure he gets everything he needs! I’m hesitant to write this only because I don’t want her getting so booked up there no time to watch Willie! :-) But she’s too good not to share!”


18. Desiray S.
“I can't recommend Desiray highly enough! From the moment I met them, I knew my pets would be in great hands. They took the time to get to know my animals and their unique needs, ensuring that both my pets and I felt comfortable. During my absence, Desiray went above and beyond, sending me regular updates, photos, and even videos to keep me reassured. My pets were happy, healthy, and well-cared for when I returned, and I could tell they had enjoyed their time with such a loving and responsible sitter. Desiray has a genuine passion for animals, and it’s clear they treat every pet like family. I would trust them with my pets again in a heartbeat!”


19. Jonathan W.
About: I love dogs and Love to care for them. I always make sure they are with me and within grabbing distance. Also My weiner dog is 13 and I miss him so it helps me to love other dogs like my own. Of course none will take his place. I care for them right off scenic Beach street in Dayton beach and Love the atmosphere and I'm sure they will too. Will have plenty of extra hard dog food for all size dogs and soft food for small and older dogs.(small/bad teeth). Will always have a grooming brush but a leash will need to he provided for the size and preference of your dog. I do prefer that all people meet me outside my apartment building door. It's in a amazing part of town and r welcome to check it out beforehand


20. Madison W.
About: I have taken care of all types of animals since I was 5 years old! I spend most of my free time with my pets and I work at a pet store! I own a Jack Russell Terrier, a Mainecoon, a cockatiel, a hamster, many different types of reptiles, and fish. I am very experienced and knowledgeable when it comes to pets! I am constantly caring for animals of all shapes and sizes, as I own 14 myself! It is part of my daily routine and I enjoy doing it. I am very well versed in dog training, as I have studied it in hopes of becoming either a dog trainer or a groomer. I have easily taught my 7 year old rescue dog basic commands such as sitting, spinning, laying down, and even potty training after he had been an outside dog for years. I am able to correctly follow care instructions as I've been doing it for over a year now working with a pet store!
