“Kiley was fantastic with our dogs! She was consistent with checking on them in the time frame requested, did a great job letting us know if there were any questions that came up, and gave helpful updates with each check-in.”


“Emily did a fantastic job with Kismet. She provided amazing care for her, sent plenty of updates and pictures and ensured Kismet would be in great hands and she was! For being a high-maintance cat parent she exceeded all my needs!”


“Amy was wonderful coming to let my dog out and take care of her while I was at work! She sent me lots of pictures and was very receptive to all instructions. She also had an incredible response time and made me feel very up-to-date on everything that was happening. Would definitely book with her again!”


“Kaylee made our first Rover experience a breeze!! She also made our pups first day at home alone way easier and we are thankful for that! Will absolutely be using her again!”


“This was my first time using Rover and I am so pleased with how well my cat was cared for. Piper is so communicative! We had bad storms one of the days, and she made sure Jasper got the extra supplements he needed and kept me updated throughout the entire process. I will definitely have Piper take care of Jasper again!!”


About: I'd love to care for your pet! While here, they will have access to their own room (away from my personal pets), which they will stay in overnight and any time I am out of the house. Otherwise, they can hang out with my pets as much (or as little) as they want - always with my supervision. My own dog is shy and nervous, so I am happy to accommodate your dog's particular needs if they also are nervous with new people. I am at home all day, other than stepping out to run errands/socialize. I can provide potty breaks as often as you'd like and build your pet's schedule into my day/week. I can do drop-in visits and walks any time of day and play with your pet as long as you'd like. I have a small, fenced in yard (but your pet will always be supervised outside). I have a 31 pound female dog who is good with cats and small dogs. I also have a cat, who mostly keeps to himself. Our neighborhood is quiet and safe, with sidewalks on all streets. While here, your pet will have access at all times to their own private room (normal bedroom with windows) if they want to have their own space away from my pets, or if I am not at home to supervise them.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I also take care of my friends and family’s pets. I currently have 4 cats of my own. I work 9 to 5, during the week, but I’m available for walks or potty breaks before and after work and all day on weekends. I follow the owners instructions as needed to caring for pets in your home. I can’t bring them to mine due to my cats, but I will do everything I can to make your life easier.


“Abbie was amazing with Beasley. She came through in a time of need with short notice when we needed someone to come feed and take him out to the bathroom yesterday. 10/10 would recommend Abbie’s services.”


About: Growing up I had experience with a lot of types of animals, from cats, dogs, sheep, pigs, cows and horses. In my adult life, I have had a lab mix and have had 4 boxers (3 currently still in the home) and a siamese mixed cat. I learned a lot about dog behavior when I got my first boxer through training, and feel like that has helped me with other dogs too. Two of my current boxers are seniors and they take meds so I am familiar with those types of things and my other one is 8 months old so I am currently also in the puppy phases as well. I do have a full-time job. Evenings and weekends are the best time for me on some days. I often work from home later in the week so I can be flexible those days. I am definitely open to chatting about options. I will keep my calendar up to date based on my availability. If your pups are coming to my house, I have a fenced in yard. I do have a pool, but I go outside with all pups for safety reasons. If your dog loves to swim let me know! I also have a quiet neighborhood for a nice leashed walk. I do have a lot of stairs so if you have a senior dog that has mobility issues my house might not be the best option. If they go out on a leash this would be less of an issue b/c I can take them for a walk out front. I crate my puppy when I am gone, and can crate your dog when/if you would like me too. I would like any special instructions about medications/food/behavior etc that are specific to your pets. I would need any specific instructions for your in home stays with your pets.

About: I have three cats and one Boston terrier. I love all animals and believe they are all precious. I look forward to caring for your pets while you are away! I am available after 4pm on M-F and all day Saturdays and Sundays. I will be able to drop in when needed to feed, pet, and clean after your pet. I have a fenced yard for my dog and my cats are all indoor kitties. We have one Boston terrier who loves to snuggle and three adorable cats who love to lounge as well.

About: As a loving and dedicated pet sitter, parent, advocate & guardian, I bring a wealth of experience, dedication, and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for. I have had the pleasure of caring for and training a variety of pets, from playful puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats with special needs. My passion for animals drives me to provide the best care possible, ensuring your pets feel loved and secure while you're away. Every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to meet their individual needs; whether it's a hike in the woods or cuddles on the couch, following their specific feeding schedule, administering medication, or engaging in their favorite playtime activities. For training, my approach is rooted in positive reinforcement, ensuring that your furry friend learns in a supportive and nurturing environment. Whether it's basic obedience, advanced tricks, or behavior modification, I am dedicated to helping your dog become a well-mannered and happy companion. For day care & visits at your home, you can count on me to be punctual, reliable, and trustworthy. I provide regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well-cared for. For overnight guests, my goal is to provide a home away from home for your four-legged children, where they can thrive and enjoy their time while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. I am available for both drop-in visits and overnight pet guests at any time, ensuring your pets receive the care and attention they need while you're away. Whether it's a quick check-in or an extended stay, I am dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for your furry friends. You can count on me to be there whenever you need reliable and loving pet care. For day care & visits at your home, you can count on me to be punctual, reliable, and trustworthy.

About: With extensive experience living with dogs and cats in both small apartments and large farms, I’ve cared for various breeds, including dachshunds, labradors, mutts, and barn cats. With a flexible schedule due to school, I have multiple gaps throughout the day to provide regular check-ins and care for your beloved friendly pet. In your home, I prioritize creating a safe, loving environment for your pet or pets, ensuring they feel secure and well-cared for while you're away.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, both personally and professionally. I'd be thrilled to help you and your family know your beloved fur babies are in good hands while you travel. I commit to providing them with everything you request and abundant love to keep them comfortable and healthy until you return home. I've always had pets ranging from rabbits to cats to dogs...especially the large breeds, I love the way they think they're lap dogs. Additionally, I've had professionally trained husbandry skills for a variety of animals for 13+ years. I thoroughly enjoy exercise and walk each night with my family. Taking your dog along with us would be a highlight added to our routine! I look forward to speaking with you soon! I am happy to accommodate a variety of scheduling needs to ensure your pet care needs are met. For this reason, I've kept a small radius of those within 10 min of my own home. I have a fenced yard and take walks daily. It would be an honor to include your fur baby in my daily routine while you're away!

“Amber is amazing! She was so sweet with Sherlock even when he was unsure of the situation. She kept me updated on what was going on and sent some cute pics and a video to me. It was so nice to know what was going on with him during the visit. I would recommend her to everyone.”


About: I have had my own dogs for 5 years and love my dogs like they’re my children. I raised my 5 year old dog, Kinley, since she was 7 weeks old, so I have experience training a puppy and taking them outside to pee frequently. My dogs have also been around my parents’ puppies and elder dogs, so they’re comfortable around all ages. I currently work full time but I work from home on Mondays and Fridays and can be flexible depending on the weekend. If I am committing to watching your dog for the weekend, I ensure that I have more than enough time to spend with them and love on them. I may take a quick trip out of the house to run to church or the grocery, but I would not leave them for an extended period of time. I will love your dogs the same as I love mine! I am comfortable taking your dog on walks if they love walks. I also have a fenced in yard that we can play fetch in if your dog loves that as well. My dogs are so friendly and they love to play with other dogs. Your dog will be safe, and well cared for with me.


About: I’m a work-from-home librarian who absolutely loves spending time with dogs and cats alike. I grew up with dogs of all sizes up to 100 pounds, and currently have a cat myself who is my best friend! I have had a golden retriever, a soft coated wheaten terrier, and a Schnoodle, and my cat is a Siberian. I love working with pets on their training goals, playing and exercising with them during the day, and making sure that they get as much love and attention as possible from their pet sitters and walkers while their owners are away. I’m also comfortable working with pets with special needs who may need additional service or medication, as well as families with multiple pets. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets!
