About: I have been taking care of friends and family pets as well as my own for over 10 years. I also have basic veterinary care experience from working at vet offices/boarding kennels and can give medications upon request. I am currently taking a gap year from college and have full availability and plenty of time to take care of your furry friends . I have a fenced in yard for our animals and all have been leash, e-collar, recall, and crate trained and I can follow any specific requests to the best of my availability.
“Elizabeth took excellent care of our elderly cat. She was delightfully responsive, responsible and flexible in scheduling, sent photos during her visits and even spent time with him on our porch where he loves to hang out. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for us and our cat. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been around animals since I was little, and since I was a kid I’ve loved helping people take care of their pets no matter how big or small and no matter what the animal was! I love spending time with my friends, family, and exploring around town! I’m working but my schedule is very flexible so I’m able to go and take care of animals whenever I’m needed! I’m starting college soon which will only open my horizon and area to meet more animals! I know how to crate dogs if needed and I’m no stranger to harnesses and leashes! I’ll gladly hangout with animals for hours just playing with them and making them feel safe!
“Simone was outstanding in dropping in and caring for my dog at home. She was supper attentive and supportive to his needs, and took the time to let him warm up to her. Would absolutely recommend Simone and will definitely be using her again!”
“Kristina was absolutely phenomenal with dropping in with Coop when I went away for an entire weekend!! I booked her to just let Coop out to the bathroom and feed him and she went above and beyond by taking him for walks and playing with his ball outside!! Would totally recommend her for any of your dog sitting needs!!”
“Rhianna was a pleasure; she was able to get my Boots out to eat each day. Boots is a very scared cat and does not like strange people. Somehow, she managed to do what no one else could do. She was able to make friends with Tigger who is the king of his castle and wants to be the first at eating and protecting his domain. She showed patients and kindness to my cats, and I would hire her again anytime. Thank you, Rhianna it was a pleasure, for us as well as our cats. Cathy McGreggor”
About: For 8 years, neighbors, friends, and co-workers have relied on my dog-sitting, cat-sitting, and house-sitting services. I have worked with pets of all sizes, ages, and breeds. I don’t mind working with newly-trained pets, and I am especially skilled at finding creative ways to make sure older pets take their medicine! I have been an animal-lover at heart for my entire life, and I would jump at the opportunity to meet a new furry friend! At the moment, I am in between jobs and looking for ways to spend my days doing something I enjoy. I am typically free all days of the week. I usually like to spend lots of time with the pets that I am watching over, especially since I understand that most pets get anxious when their family is gone for longer periods of time. I don’t mind spending nights with pets, and I would likely spend most of my days with them as well. While pet sitting at a clients home, I will always go above and beyond what is asked of me. I will take care of feeding and walking, in addition to making sure that the pet’s energetic and social needs are met as well.
About: Single mom with a flexible schedule and a drive to provide with over 25 years of experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, fish and more! I currently work part-time until 1pm or 3pm in the afternoon. I do have a small child that will be with me. I am not available after 8pm. When I visit your home for drop-ins, I treat your pet like one of my own! I’ll make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get potty breaks, and of course—plenty of love and attention. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and always respect your space. Whether it's playtime, snuggles, or just keeping your pet company, I make sure they feel safe and happy while you're away. During walks, I focus on safety, fun, and exercise. I stick to your preferred route or choose safe paths nearby, and I tailor the pace and length to your dog’s energy level and needs. I always double-check harnesses and leashes, avoid unsafe areas, and make sure your pup gets time to sniff and explore!
About: I live on a farm where I take care of 3 dogs (2 labs and 1 rescue) and 1 cat as well as a horse. Im very familiar with animals because Ive grown up around them my whole life. I play tennis in college, so over my breaks is the only time I have to care for animals. This also means I have a pretty hefty training schedule for tennis, therefore I prefer mornings. We have lots of land for the dogs to explore. They are walked about a mile everyday around our property and are let out multiple times a day for the bathroom. At night the dogs are crated or simply put into the dog room with the door closed.
About: Hi there! I'm Janelle and I am 25 years old, I have 3 dogs of my own at the moment, but have grown up with dogs and animals my whole life because I grew up on a farm! I got my very first dog when I was about 9 and still have her to this day. I love all kinds of animals! I'm available most days and am flexible with hours to work with your schedule. When in my care your fur baby will be loved, played with, and be well cared for as if they were part of my family. (fur kids count as actual kids in my opinion ❤) I can also care for other smaller pets if need be and can do things around your house if needed. Thanks so much for considering me as your Rover sitter! I'm currently working MTTHF but am looking at doing this full time in the future. I am available all day Wednesdays and Saturdays and anytime after 330 on Mondays and Thursdays. Sundays are also a possibility after our church service in the morning. At this time I do not offer sitting at MY home because we rent and have 3 dogs of our own, one of which is a grumpy old lady (turned 16 this year). But I am more than happy and willing to dog sit in the comfort of YOUR own home which provides less stress to your furbabies and keeps them comfortable rather than in a place they've never been.

Rachel H.
“Rachel took great care of my three dogs many times while we were away. I knew they were well cared for when Rachel was watching them and never had to worry about a thing. Rachel sent picture updates so we knew they were getting lots of love and attention. Rachel was easy to communicate with and prompt to reply to messages. I highly recommend Rachel for all of your pet sitting needs!”
Allyson W.
“Allyson is a true gem! She cared for my three cats—Luna (2), Mira (11), and Cadi (12)—while I was out of town, and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Not only did she handle everything with love and attention, but she also kept up with Mira’s medication schedule perfectly, which gave me so much peace of mind. Allyson went above and beyond by brushing Cadi daily (her favorite thing!), playing with Luna to help her burn off some kitten energy, and even sending me daily updates and adorable photos. She also took the time to tidy up their litter areas and refresh their water fountains regularly—something I really appreciated. You can tell Allyson genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. She’s reliable, thoughtful, and completely trustworthy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible pet caregiver!”
