About: I am good with cats, dogs and guinea pigs. I can clean out litter boxes, change bedding for guinea pigs and also have extensive experience in caring for a guinea pig's special needs. I’m currently working Mon-Thurs from 8:15am-4:30pm and Friday from 8:15am-12:30pm and I get an hour lunch! So if you ever need me to check in on your fur babies, I can do that! And I can still stay overnight if needed! I will follow instructions how to care for your animals in your home. This can include baths, walks, potty breaks, play time and feeding times.
“Madison was an excellent sitter and cared for my pets like they were her own! She is very professional, has excellent communication, and asked detailed questions to ensure everything was covered. Madison played fetch with them and gave them cuddles and checked on them during her work lunch breaks. Seriously, would book her again!!”

About: I have experience caring for high-energy dogs, including golden retrievers, managing multiple pets, and handling routines calmly. My experience with young children has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and reliability as a sitter. Caring for pets is part of my daily routine. I schedule regular walks, playtime, feeding, and attention, ensuring dogs stay active, happy, and well-cared for while I work remotely.

About: I have been a dog mommy for over 25 years, and have taken care of the pets of friends and family forever. I’m especially partial to dogs, but cats are great too…once they deign to allow me to enter their kingdom 😁. I recently had to say goodbye to me soul mate dog, so I have a lot of love to give your fur babies. Can’t wait to meet them! I’m worked from home for 6 years, and I’m currently between roles. I have nothing but time to dedicate to loving on your darling pets. I am active for those who like to walk, and I enjoy my down time cuddles up on the couch with a book and a sweet sleepy dog or cat. Let’s keep your babies at home where they are comfortable! I can come to your home and feed, walk, and give them outside time. Or, if you prefer, I can stay at your home with them while you’re gone. I’m a rule follower, so your house rules will be strictly adhered to, no question! If your pup is high energy and needs lots of walks, let’s go - I’m on a fitness journey myself! If they are in charge and have a designated spot on the couch, I’ll cozy up wherever they “tell” me I can. I just miss my doggo, and I think this is the best way for me to start to heal from that loss. Let me lavish love on yours!
“We had a great experience with Seth! Our anxious dog seemed comfortable with him from the first time they met. He sent really wonderful photos of our girls each day and kept us updated about how they were doing. We get nervous about leaving our girls with strangers, but we would definitely have Seth take care of them again. He left our house clean and the three dogs seemed well cared for.”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 12! I am active so I can play with your pup! I am comfortable giving medicine if needed! I’m currently a nursing student who wants to spend my extra time with animals! I am available throughout the week and weekends! My availability differs by week but my calendar is always up to date! I will take your fur-baby on plenty of walks and give them lots of love. I will take them to the bathroom accordingly and follow any instructions given!

“Evelyn is a super responsible home and pet sitter, our Golden girl Pennie just adores her! We are always able to enjoy our trip knowing our home and Golden girl is in very good hands <3”

“Billie went above and beyond while dog sitting at our apartment for 4 days! She helped with our dogs separation anxiety, gave helpful tips on training and things to help him, and kept us up to date on everything going on while we were away. She is very knowledgeable and eased our nerves about leaving our dog for the first time. Also very clean and apartment friends had great reviews about her too! Would definitely recommend and hope to book again when needed!”

“Paige was always responsive and shared pics of the dogs. We weren’t able to meet in person before our vacation so she was open to communicating with my neighbor who let her in. She took the initiative to follow up with any clarifications we hadn’t covered beforehand. Our dogs are anxious and we appreciated her staying at the house with them while we were away. It is clear she has a heart for animals! ??”


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.

“Ranae is fantastic! She took care of our frenchie for 10 days while we were out of town. She made sure that he was comfortable, happy, exercised and healthy! We received updates and pictures from her daily, and she made it all go smoothly. When we got home, we could tell that our frenchie was in good hands. Ranae is pleasant and professional. We will continue to call on her for help.”
