“Lauren is fantastic! She is so professional, sweet with Mack and a fabulous communicator! We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend!!”

“Anna was perfect with all four of the cats: Cali, Bella, Lola, Lexie. We will definitely use her services again. She did a fantastic job and sent lots of pictures”

“Karen was a lifesaver on a recent last minute spring vacation. I even messed up one full day when booking, and she was incredibly understanding and helpful. I’m new to Rover and have a pack of four dogs (a Yorkie Poo, English Retreiver, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, and a Pitt). Karen came by, met my babies, and agreed to take care of them. She is absolutely lovely. She updated me every time she stopped by and made sure I knew the dogs were doing well. She was always on time and even picked up after them when needed (kid lost a stuffy) Thank you Karen, for keeping my babies safe and well cared for.”


“I almost don't want to post this in hopes that I can keep Madison as our little secret, but SHE IS AMAZING! We constantly got photographs, videos, and her kind and caring nature kept us at peace knowing our doggies were in good hands. I would recommend Madison hands down and look forward to her helping us out again and again if she is available. Thank you Madison!”


About: • Individualized care: I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level—no one-size-fits-all care. • Emotional well-being matters: I focus on helping pets feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable while you’re away. • Routine-focused: I stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule so their days feel familiar and low-stress. • Clear communication: I provide consistent updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. • Care like my own: Every pet I care for gets the same attention, patience, and respect I’d give my own animals. My life revolves around what my animals need. I look forward to giving that quality care to your pet! I strive to give my animals the best life possible. I am excited to give your pets the best care. I follow instructions that pet parents leave. I double lead canines if needed. I double check all gear before heading out for walks. I advocate for your animal and make them the priority.
“We love Amanda! You can tell how much she loves our little pup and sends the cutest updates on her while she visits. We’ve had her stay overnight as well as do drop ins and she’s sweet, professional, responsible and has a love for animals. We never worry when we have Amanda care for our Cookie Jo 💖”

“As a pet care professional, having someone watch my own pets is especially stressful! So when we decided to visit family for Thanksgiving for the first time in 14 years- I can’t begin to express how glad we are that we found Stephen! He is so close to our house too! When he came for a meet and greet, I was immediately at ease! Thank you sooooo much!!”

“Gage did a great job for us watching our two dogs. He was there for all the scheduled times and did a fantastic job giving them their meds and getting them to eat. I would recommend Gage to anyone and plan on using him again each time we need a dog sitter.”

“Renee is a warm caring person who left my kitties feeling all the love and attention while I was out. Not to mention she was a great communicator caring for senior cats. She is such a blessing and I will be using her for all of my pet needs!!”

“Briana was so great. She kept us informed of everything going on with our pups. And she sent pictures every visit. They got extra treats (per my request) and wanted for nothing while we were away (7 days). We really enjoyed meeting w Briana before our trip. She'd be a perfect match for anyone needing a long term sitter.”
“Madison was absolutely amazing with our 11 year old pitbull! She truly went above and beyond to spend quality time with her and provided us with daily updates and pictures. I cant say enough great things about her service!”
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and helped friends and family take care of their pets. I house-sat throughout college. And growing up, neighbors would frequently trust me to take care of their pets while on vacation. I’ve looked after a variety of dogs, large dogs (Rottweiler and Goldens) and small (Yorkies and other terriers). I love them all. I’ve personally owned 2 boxers (one of which I rescued) and grew up with Dachshunds and a Scottish terrier. My husband has owned miniature Schnauzers. We are very knowledgeable in a variety of breeds. I work part-time during the week so there may be times where your pet will have to be alone for at least 8 hrs. We are both very active and outdoor lovers, so your pet won’t be cooped up inside all day, unless that is your preference. We have a fenced yard with security cameras. We pride ourselves on organization and paying attention to detail, so your baby will be prioritized and well taken of.

About: With over 30 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I will provide loving, dependable care for your furkids. My background includes pet sitting, animal shelter work, and working as an assistant in a veterinary hospital. Whether your pets need playtime, companionship, medication assistance, or extra TLC, you can trust they'll be cared for like family. As a substitute teacher currently on summer break, I have a very open and flexible schedule to accommodate your pet care needs. Whether you need daily visits, weekend coverage, or last-minute help, I am available to provide dependable, attentive care for your furkids. My flexible availability allows me to spend quality time with your pets, ensuring they receive the companionship, exercise, and attention they deserve while you're away. 🐾 I understand that every pet has different needs, which is why I offer flexible in-home pet care tailored to your family. Whether you need a quick drop-in visit to make sure your pets are fed, have fresh water, and get a potty break, or you'd like me to stay longer for enrichment, exercise, playtime, and companionship, I'm happy to help. My goal is to keep your fur kids comfortable, happy, and relaxed in their own familiar environment while you're away, giving you peace of mind that they're receiving the love, attention, and care they deserve. 🐾❤️ Please note that for the health and safety of all pets in my care, I only accept puppies that have completed their full series of core vaccinations. Because I visit multiple homes and interact with many dogs, there is always a small risk of unintentionally carrying germs or viruses between environments. Young puppies are especially vulnerable to serious illnesses before they are fully vaccinated. This policy helps protect your puppy, as well as the other pets I care for, and ensures the safest possible experience for everyone
“Ashtyn did so well with my puppy Blazer and kitties Choco, Kimchi, and Cider. I had to be away for 2 weeks apartment hunting, and was afraid Blazer wouldn't do well. As soon as she met him they were friends, and I felt so much better about chosing Ashtyn. She took so many adorable pet photos and even cared for the outdoor kitty Cider that I feed with her scabby ears at the time. The pets seemed to really love Ashtyn, as she treated them all like her own. Ashtyn even cleaned up when Blazer freaked out and made a mess in the kitchen and ate pillows...she really kept me updated on everything. I definitely 100 percent recommend Ashtyn for Rover sitting. She's compassionate, thoughtful, caring, and really has a heart for animals. 5 stars!!!”

About: I am opening up my home to dogs that need a place to crash while their owners are away. I will treat your dog as if it was my own. I currently have 2 boys who love to play in the fenced-in back yard, alongside the chickens. My dogs have been trained by myself, as I am also a certified dog trainer. I have fostered many puppies in the past through a local shelter and have taken care of friends’ dogs’ as well. Message me for more details!!! When I work my full time job I am gone for 2 weeks at a time, so when I am off work I am available/home 24/7. Your pet will immediately join in my daily routine as I stay active with my own two dogs, unless specified otherwise. I am home most of the day unless I need to run errands. I can easily conform to your pet’s needs when required. I will treat your dog as if it was my own. Within my home, all pets will be held to a similar standard to create a safe and non bias environment. I have recently converted my garage into a temperature controlled pet room, with kennels/crates, to give each pet their own space and time to themselves, if need be. I also use this room to separate dogs while I am out to prevent an unsafe environment, if it was to arise. I also have a large fenced in backyard where the dogs have plenty of room to romp, separate from the chickens. If I am to visit your home I will treat it as mine, clean up any messes made by your pet and lock up after the visit.

About: If they can't be with you they'll be Happiest with Holly (me). I have 20 years experience in pet care, animal sheltering, fostering & training. I've worked with, owned and housed dogs of all sizes and in all stages of life. I know how hard it is to leave them home while going out of town or just to work and hope I can ease that stress for you. It's nice to know your older dog is with someone all day, that your puppy is getting enough potty breaks or just that the someone caring for your dog is someone who cares. I now stay home with my dogs and small children so am able to provide care for a few extra fur babies from time to time. We have a large fenced yard and dog friendly dogs. ***A meet and greet is required*** I understand than last min plans come up but we will be living with your pet and it's hard to keep them the Happiest if they aren't a good fit. I am almost always at home and our house, yard & life schedule is set up with the dogs in mind. I'd be doing a lot of letting me own dog in/out and playing so why not add your dog too? 👍 I am almost always at home and our house, yard & life schedule is set up with the dogs in mind. Privacy fenced yard, tile floors & dog beds everywhere. I'd be doing a lot of letting me own dog in/out and playing so why not add your dog too?
