“I can’t thank Amanda enough for taking care of my big boy Garth. Garth is a rescue and gets nervous easily, this was the first time he stayed with anyone outside of family. Amanda took such good care of him and gave me updates the entire time I was gone. This dog is my entire heart and soul-if you’re extremely anxious about having to leave your animal Amanda is the woman for the job!”
“Amy communicated promptly and frequently. Maizie appeared very well taken care of and seemed very happy when we returned. Amy stayed at the house and it was just as we left it. We were very happy with her.”
“Jayce was a wonderful dog sitter. She was so communicative and responsive. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with her. I highly recommend Jayce if you are looking for someone to watch your pups :)”
About: I have taken care of a variety of different breeds of both cats and dogs! All ages ranging from a few months old to senior pups and cats! I have also had to administer medication and special attention to my own fur babies so I know the dedication and effort it takes to make sure all animals are well taken care of! I work full time from 7:30am-4pm, Monday through Friday! I have an hour lunch break to go home and check on pets and have all of my afternoons free to be available to give animals lots of love and care! I tend to spoil my fur babies! I make sure their water and food are fresh and in perfect moderation. My cat Remy has asthma and a heart condition so I am also very observant of animals and know what signs to look for if anything may be uncomfy or them! I am very familiar in giving liquid or pill medication if needed and have also used an inhaler for my cat frequently. For my healthy babies I make sure they get lots of love and attention every second I am with them!
About: I’ve been pet sitting for my friends and family for about 2 years! I also have two dogs and have always been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve been working at a doggy daycare for almost 2 years now, so I have plenty experience in pet care! I currently just work as a part time employee and part time student. I do get about a 1 to 2 hour break in-between shifts. I also am able to get up early in the mornings before heading to school and work. I don’t work Saturdays or Tuesdays, so those days I’m very flexible! I’m normally able to move my schedule around to try and be flexible, I just normally need 2 weeks in advance to fix that flexibility! I currently live in an apartment, but I walk my two dogs on my off days about every 2 hours. When I’m working I just take my dogs with me to work so they have plenty of run around room! I also use treat puzzles or squeaky toys to keep them entertained and going! I always enjoy taking pets out for rides in the car, I always ask first before taking any dog anywhere that isn’t mine. My older dog can be a little snappy, so I don’t bring him around any of the dogs I dog sit. My younger dog is very playful however and loves everyone! Shes always looking for another playmate. However I do always ask first before I ever bring her to meet other dogs or pets! I also believe in a lot of love and cuddles!! 💚 I will always make sure your pets are comfortable and safe and feel loved! When caring for others people’s pets I always ask upfront questions about what is okay and what is not. Every dog and pet is different and have completely different personalities. I will adhere to their comfortability and personality!
About: I have lived with cats and dogs since I was young, and I have loved and cared for elderly pets, and pets with medically complex needs. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to spend time with your pet on various days and times, overnights, and weekends! I'm happy to meet you where you're at. I love playing with high energy pets and spending time with low energy pets. I am happy to brush your pet, clean litter boxes and any messes made, feed and otherwise provide for your furry family member.
“Nancy watched by two dogs (and plants) while I was out of town for a few days. My dogs can be a challenge as one of them is sick and Nancy did an amazing job!! I came home to happy dogs and a clean home.”
About: Animal lover with 10+ years’ experience. Former clinic caretaker, trusted by 5 families for pet and house sitting, including chickens! Proud dog mom of two. I work remotely, so I’m flexible for walks, feeding, and cuddles—happy to stay with your pets during the day while house sitting, just need wifi! I have a sweet Golden Irish (1.5 yrs) and gentle 12-year-old Husky. Both are friendly with a big fenced yard—perfect if yours needs a playmate!
“Anna did such a good job caring for Mowgli and communicating with me. Mowgli is currently a very involved medical case, and Anna took on the challenge like a pro. She restricted his activity (no easy feat with a large breed puppy), changed countless bandages (including purchasing more supplies), gave oral medication, used a light therapy device, and brushed his teeth! All the while she was sending me photos of Mowgli and commenting how cute he was. She even bought him a toy! I am so relieved that the person taking care of my whole world (!) loved him like I do. Her passion and ability to follow detailed instructions helped Mowgli continue to heal in my absence. I will certainly book Anna again and encourage anyone looking for a dependable caretaker to do the same. Thank you, Anna ♥️”
About: 10 years experience in pet care - walking and house sitting. I grew up with German Shorthaired Pointers and am comfortable with active breeds. Also a former Peace Corps volunteer in Zambia where I helped my family take care of and rehome 2 litters of puppies. I am a graduate student with a car and flexible schedule. I’m very available during the week for pet care needs and weekends as well. I am very respectful of clients space and will treat your home better than I treat my own. I’m also conscientious of your pets routines and will follow them closely so they are as comfortable as possible.
About: I’ve had dogs, chickens, lots of animals growing up and have a mini bernedoodle now! He’s my sweet baby! I’ve used rover before seeking dog walkers, and now I would like to lend the hand to other during my free time! I work typically 5 days a week, however I am available during the week, and some weekends. On my off days i’m seeking to dog walk, and I can house sit just about any day, I would just be gone during day for work depending on day. I have a fenced in yard, my pup is crate trained but he mainly sleeps with me. He’s goes on about 3 walks a day and gets lots of back yard playing time.
“This was our first experience using Rover so my wife and I were slightly nervous, however after meeting Spirit and seeing how she was with Roland we decided to give it a shot. While we were gone we received pictures and videos daily letting us know our boy was in the best possible hands. Roland can’t wait for the next time!”
About: There was always an animal in my house growing up. Currently, I have no pets of my own (since I would like to travel a bit more before I give a cat or dog their forever home) but I regularly dog/cat/bird sit, which stifles my pet fever for the time being. I love going on walks at Two Rivers park, so adding a dog (or two) along is no problem. I also enjoy taking dogs to the Bark Bar! I am mostly available on weekends, but I would be willing to work out a plan if you need pet care during the week. I work from 8 am - 5 pm throughout the week. I prefer for owners to leave me with a document describing their pets' schedules and any specificities that go along with caring for their pets. This gives me a reference and clearly defines my duties as your pet sitter.

“I cannot recommend Kayla Johnson highly enough as a pet caregiver. Kayla has taken care of my dog on several occasions, and I have always been incredibly impressed with her reliability and dedication. From the moment she arrives, it’s clear that she treats my dog as if it were her own. I appreciate her punctuality professionalism, making it easy to trust her with my pet. Knowing that my dog is in such caring hands gives me peace of mind whenever I need to be away. If you're looking for someone who is reliable, compassionate, and truly passionate about animals, Kayla is the perfect choice!”

Farah B.
“Farrah has a natural gift with animals—especially dogs. She’s incredibly gentle, patient, and attentive, always putting their needs first. She’s grown up around pets and understands how to make dogs feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or just spending quality time playing or cuddling, Farrah gives every pup her full attention. She’s also very dependable and respectful of people’s homes and routines. I’ve seen her handle both high-energy dogs and older, slower-moving pets with the same level of care and compassion. You can count on her to follow instructions, communicate clearly, and treat your dog like one of her own. Any pet would be lucky to have Farrah as their sitter or walker. She’s responsible, mature, and truly loves animals. I highly recommend her!”
