“Lindsay was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog while we were away and went above and beyond by also caring for our guinea pigs and watering our plants. We came home to happy pets and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing everything was in such great hands. Highly recommend!”

About: My first puppy was at 12 years old and since then I knew i never wanted to be without a dog for the rest of my life. I have experience training puppies, caring for studs and dames, and most recently caring for and putting an elder dog down. Personally, having someone trusted to care for my dogs is the biggest stress relief to me - and I want to be that for someone else. I work 4 days a week in a very flexible schedule with always weekends off. We are a 2 income household with no children so we have A LOT of flexibility. I have invisible fencing, as well as, ties/ cords attached that are accessible to our backyard and our front yard. I live in a low traffic neighborhood and have several outdoor cameras.

“Mary was excellent with my three chow chows. She respected their space and let them take their time getting to know her. At the same time, she still got them in and out and took care of their needs, including wiping all their paws. She was prompt and gave them lots of attention and made sure they got exactly what they needed. Communication was great and I got lots of pictures each day with the update. Thank you, Mary!”

“Hailey did a fabulous job watching our dogs (and kitten!) from start to finish. She communicated well and was very helpful and kind to all of our pets. She was also flexible and thorough. We would certainly love to have her watch our pets again. She gave us great peace of mind knowing everyone at home was happy and well taken care of while we were out of town.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 5 years of hands-on pet care experience. I’ve walked dogs of all sizes and temperaments, volunteered as a dog walker at the humane animal shelter ,fostered several cats (and proudly “foster failed” my first two—because I just couldn’t let them go!), and truly believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and spoiled. Whether your pup needs energetic walks or your kitty just wants some quiet companionship, I’ll treat them like family. I understand how hard it is to leave your pets behind, so I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos, cuddles, and peace of mind while you’re away! I work from home, giving me the flexibility to drop by whenever your pet needs. I’m committed to maintaining your pet’s routine to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable environment where your pet feels relaxed and happy. I follow your pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to minimize stress. I provide plenty of attention and affection, monitor their behavior and well-being, and keep the space clean. I also ensure your home stays secure and follow any special instructions you provide to meet your pet’s unique needs.

I’ve spent years dog sitting for family and neighbors, and I’ve had cats and other small pets my entire life. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely enjoy making pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I currently work in healthcare 3 days per week. My days each week can vary. I am available most weekends and also in the late evenings on working days!

“Marisa was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! I’m so grateful she was able to fit in a last-minute meet and greet that made me feel confident in booking her. My shy Covid rescue, who doesn’t usually warm up to strangers, was surprisingly comfortable with her right away. She was patient and attentive with both Teddy and Forrest, and it was clear they liked her from the start. I booked her for 30-minute visits, and she always stayed the full time, sending me 10–15 photos each visit so I could see how happy and comfortable my dogs were. Her communication, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals really stood out. I will definitely be booking her again and, with a trip coming up later this month, I already plan on having her dog sit for us. Highly recommend!”

About: I am very loving to all animals, My own girl is a rescue from St. Thomas that I adopted from Pet Search 10/2022. She was abused as a puppy and very anxious and afraid of men mostly and takes times to gain humans trust. I am very patient with her and always keep her safe. I know how to identify if she is not feeling comfortable in a situation and remove her from the situation to make her feel safe. She loves all dogs and children but needs to gain humans trust. I have been around dogs and owned dogs since I was a child. I have done pet sitting for my parents dog , family members and friends dogs including cats. I am just new to Rover, not new to being a furbaby sitter. You can trust me to be very attentive, while your fur baby is in my care they are my number one priority. I can administer oral medications if needed. I have a fenced in back yard and perfect neighborhood for walking. I currently work a full time job as a medical assistant at a doctors office since 2006. I am off early on Fridays and off on the weekends. I have a furbaby of my own that is three years old that I adopted. I am available on friday afternoons after 3 and Saturday and Sundays all day. I can do home visits, walks, or you may come to my home as long as your furbaby is good with another dog. I have experience walking and pet sitting dogs for neighbors, family and friends. I have a big yard for your babies to have lots of playtime and also have a fenced in back yard to keep them safe. I also have a safe neighborhood for walking and there are many trails by my home. My dog also gets along with all other dogs and is very playful. I do require proof of up to date vaccinations including Rabies.

“The minute we met Raleigh, we knew he was a genuine & kind person who loves dogs. We needed someone to drop in to care for our dogs for a couple days at last minute’s notice and he came to our rescue! He was very accommodating and gave us continuous updates each time he visited. Our two dogs absolutely loved him as well! Would definitely recommend Raleigh to anyone who needs a kind & reliable dog sitter.”

About: I spend my time taking care of two 11-year-old dogs and there's nothing I'd rather do! I live in an excellent walking neighborhood and have a fully fenced backyard. My home and neighborhood are both extremely dog friendly and I love nothing more than spoiling my furry friends. I'm fit and active and I will play as long as the dogs will! Please provide as much info as possible about your pet so that I may customize the care I provide. I have many toys and treats but recommend you bring anything that will make your pet feel at home and comfortable. Pet care IS my routine; I am available seven days a week to walk or sit your fuzzy friends. I have flexibility to accept same-day requests if necessary. I have a big fenced yard and neighborhood with many sidewalks. There's a porch to hang out on and all of my furniture is dog friendly!

When my husband and I decided to take an overnight trip, he reached for his phone to call our usual boarder. I stopped him and said hey, we’re only going to be gone about 30 hours, maybe we try letting Daisy stay home and try drop-in visits from someone on Rover instead? So glad we found Lindsay! She was reliable, visited right on time, every time, showed genuine care and affection for our Daisy, faithfully spent time doting on her with attention, and took great care of her! Highly recommend, and would contact her again for our next overnight trip!

Susan did a great job with our cats while we were away for a few days after Christmas! She gave lots of feedback and was easy to get hold of when needed. Thank you Susan, I hope to be a repeat customer and would recommend all cat owners to hire Susan for drop in visits for sure!

Allisa did a wonderful job with our cat Jeri, and also keeping water, food, and litter properly maintained. She was extremely professional and respectful at our meet and greet which put me at ease because I had never hired a pet sitter before, and was somewhat nervous about it. She followed our instructions exactly as we requested and maintained excellent communication. She went above and beyond when we had received packages on our porch and she placed them in our house. I highly recommend Allisa and would definitely hire her again.
