“Great communication and I could tell from what they were saying about Roger that he was well taken care of and they were truly spending time with him. Will definitely book them again!”

“I couldn't recommend Jody more! Sutton was so happy and well cared for while I was away. I received photo updates and frequent check ins. Jody also went out of her way to take care of chores around the house, before I returned home. Again, I highly recommend Jody for dog/house sitting!”
“As first-time Rover users, we were initially nervous, but Taryn immediately set our minds at ease. She warmly suggested a meet-and-greet to ensure it was a good fit for us and our pets. While we were away, Taryn was excellent with communication, checking in upon arrival and sending regular photos and updates. Coming home was a delight; our house was spotless, our dogs were happy, fed, and well-exercised, and Taryn had even thoughtfully started a load of household linens in the wash. We have no doubt our animals adored her and received the very best care. We will absolutely be asking Taryn to return!”

“Maggie did a great job taking care of our babies. She was very sweet with our anxious dog. She was very responsive and followed up to make sure we were on the same page with care instructions.”

“Kim is fantastic! She is very detail oriented, wonderful with our boy Jack, and an absolute delight! With Kim taking care of our home and our pup, we were able to enjoy our vacation!!!!”

“Rebecca was hands-down the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. From our very first communication through the end of our week away, she was professional, reliable, and incredibly attentive. She gave us complete peace of mind knowing our three babies were genuinely well cared for. We’ll absolutely be rebooking her for our next trip.”

About: my regular day job is working at a doggy daycare / boarding business where i watch 20+ dogs of different breeds with different temperaments in a yard at once it’s a regular part of my routine due to the field of work i am in. I also have 4 dogs and a cat of my own at home. taking care of my 3 household pets include frequent potty breaks, feeding them a good balanced breakfast and dinner, weekly walks/enrichments and lots of love
“Donnis was great, communicative and sweet. I have a fairly anxious and dramatic chihuahua and he took to her almost immediately. Already have her on tap for my next doggo-sitting needs!”


“Sabrina was awesome. Very flexible and the my weird timings and request. Took some time but kulfi warmed up to her in no time. She did everything that was asked for and gave kulfi the time I wanted her to have. She was walked on time, fed on time and give pets. Communicated very well and sent photos.”

“Emalee was an awesome babysitter! She was great at communicating, she sent pictures often and took great care of our doggies and our house. The dogs looked happy and our house was left exactly as we left it. She even left cute little gifts for our pups for Christmas! I will definitely be using her again, Highly recommend!”

“We feel lucky to have found Megan! She truly is a professional who loves and cares for the furbabies like her own. After a weekend gone, we came home to a calm crew since she was able to spend so much quality time with them. We especially like getting the daily pictures. Thank you Megan!!”


“Chris took great care of our two dogs and our house while we were away for about a week. He took the time to get to know our dogs and even got them a special treat! We would be happy to book with him again.”

About: A lifelong love of animals has led to me learning how best to care for them from a young age. I'll make sure your pets feel happy, comfortable and safe! I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, turkeys, and guinea pigs, and I'm willing to work with all animals except arachnids and insects. I wake up at around 8 every day and go to bed around 11, and I can adjust pretty easily if I need to be up earlier or later. I can mold my schedule to another routine very easily (and enjoy doing so!) and working with animals fills me with so much joy that doing the best job possible is barely a job at all. I'll meet your pet where they're at. If they don't want to be sociable, that's fine! I'll make sure they're fed and have water and they can come to me in their own time. If they want to be attached to the hip from moment one, I love that too.
“Kaitlyn did well with our 2 dogs for our 3 night trip. This was our first time using Rover and we were a bit nervous as our dogs can be a little high maintenance (high energy levels and early wake up times). She was responsive to my messages, asked appropriate questions and sent us daily updates with pictures. She administered oral medications with dinner for our girl who needs them. We came home to 2 happy dogs that got to stay in their environment and a clean house. We will use Kaitlyn again in the future if we travel someplace we can’t take the dogs.”

“Amanda was great with our girl! Our pup is a bit vocal and has a few quirks; like needing doors closed, a sound machine on when we’re out, and a special diet…but Amanda handled everything. Communication was easy and consistent, and we came home to a happy pup. It’s clear she really cared, and we’ve already booked her again.”

About: Hi! I’m Barbara, a responsible healthcare professional who genuinely enjoys caring for animals. I provide reliable, attentive pet care in the comfort of your pet’s own home so they can stay relaxed and maintain their normal routine while you’re away. Because of my medical background, I’m especially comfortable caring for senior pets and pets who require medications, injections, or closer monitoring. I’m naturally calm, observant, and detail-oriented, so if something seems “off,” I’m quick to notice and respond appropriately. Many pet parents appreciate the extra peace of mind this provides. My goal is to help your pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while keeping life as normal as possible. I focus on maintaining their usual routines, providing companionship, making sure they eat well, get exercise, and receive plenty of attention. I also treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. Cleanliness, organization, and reliability are very important to me. While you’re away, I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and doing well. I work best with pets who are already house-trained. I’m happy to reinforce good habits, but I do not take on active potty-training cases. I’m also comfortable caring for multi-pet households and small farm-style properties, including dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, and other animals that need dependable care while their owners are away. My schedule allows me to spend quality time with your pets, not just quick drop-ins. I want them to feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for until you return. I’m always happy to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand so you and your pets can feel completely comfortable. Why clients choose me: • Healthcare professional — responsible and highly observant • Experienced with medications and injections • Comfortable with senior pets and pets needing extra care • Reliable, detail-oriented, and calm • Respectful of your home and routines • Comfortable caring for multiple animals or farm-style homes • Regular photo and message updates while you’re away • Focused on keeping pets relaxed, safe, and on their normal routine My goal is simple: for you to travel with peace of mind and for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for until you return. I work remotely in healthcare through telehealth, which allows me to work from anywhere with WiFi. Because of this, I’m typically home during the day and able to provide consistent presence and supervision for pets in my care. My scheduled patient hours are generally between 8:30am and 3:30pm, but I’m still physically present in the home during that time. This allows me to provide morning care, potty breaks, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day, depending on your pet’s needs. Since I don’t commute to an office, pets are rarely left alone for long periods of time. I also make sure they receive evening walks, playtime, companionship, and any medications they may need. I work best with pets who are already house-trained and comfortable relaxing while I work nearby during the day, while still receiving plenty of attention and care before and after my scheduled hours. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away. -Pets won’t be alone - I'm attentive to routine I’m also comfortable caring for multi-animal homes and small farm properties, and I treat both your pets and your home with the same responsibility and attention I would expect for my own. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine and environment as normal as possible so they feel secure and relaxed while you’re away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and household routines. Consistency helps pets feel safe, so I aim to maintain the same structure they’re used to. As a healthcare professional, I’m naturally attentive and observant. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, topical medications, or injections, and I pay close attention to changes in appetite, behavior, energy level, or bathroom habits that could indicate something isn’t quite right. Safety is always a priority. I’m mindful of things like secure leashing, doors and gates, food safety, and keeping pets in their normal safe areas of the home. I also treat your home with great respect — keeping everything clean, organized, and well cared for while you’re away. While you’re gone, I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are safe and doing well. My goal is to provide calm, dependable care that helps both you and your pets feel completely at ease.
“Destini was amazing!! She was very kind and communicative while staying with our pups. She even handled our dog’s epilepsy episode and medications like a champ. Will definitely be using her again!”

“Lillie did a wonderful job caring for our dog. She kept us informed on how he was doing and their activities together. She also kept our house as clean as we left it! We will definitely ask her to care for our precious Cheo again!”

“We went out of town just after Christmas and needed a dog sitter. We were very pleased to come home to a happy, healthy pup, we had great communication the whole time and received a set of pictures and updates every evening. We will be using Maria Abigail‘s dog sitting service again!”
