About: I have a soft spot for all animals big and small. I helped raise my family dog, Finn, who is now a 10 year old Morkie. Multiple friends have trusted me to walk and pet sit their animals and I have experience with small and large breeds. I have also volunteered for 2 years with 4 Paws for Ability, an organization that trains puppies to become service dogs. I am an owner of a black cat named Sesame who I adopted from a cat cafe earlier this year. I am currently a healthcare professional who just graduated school. I am waiting to start a job at the end of October, so I have some free time in the next few months I’m looking to fill with lots of walks and scratches. Safety is my number one priority for your pet and myself. I am good with communication and as a pet owner myself, I understand how much pets mean to us.

“Rebecca was amazing! She was so patient and calm with my little guy. It took a bit for him to warm up. She didn’t bat an eye at all my requests or learning how to walk a cat. 😁 She sent daily updates with pictures. Rebecca stayed overnight for a week and I’m pretty sure she left the place cleaner than I left it. She even went the extra mile to stay a bit longer when my flight came in late and turned the lights on so I didn’t come home to a dark space. The little guy is happy, clean and healthy. I was able to really relax during vacation knowing everything was taken care of at home. I will definitely ask Rebecca to come stay again the next time I go out of town.”


“Max was overall a great sitter for our 2 pittys. He was responsive to messages and sent photos. He also watered the plants, took out the recycling, and the kitchen was cleaner than I left it. He went out of his way to be helpful and the dogs seemed well cared for while we were away! We already have him booked for another sit in May!”


“Elizabeth was amazing. It's not easy going away worry-free on vacation, but she nailed it. I didn't leave her with any instructions and she handled everything flawlessly. Even exceeded expectations. Cannot recommend enough!”


“This is one of the best pet sitters I’ve ever had… Her communications were amazing- she took tons of photos showed concern and questions when the dogs acted in a way she wasn’t sure… Just in general she treated them as if they were her own. She was a phenomenal sitter and I will definitely use her again!”


“This was the first time we left our 3 pups with someone who wasn’t family. I’m so relieved that things worked out. Meagan sent us pictures periodically while we were gone and the pups looked as relaxed as ever. ???”


“Joyce was absolutely outstanding with my pets!!! She treated them as if they were her own and gave me daily updates and photos of them!! 100% will be using her again to watch my dogs, she’s the sweetest!!”


“Christine is the best! As a first-time Rover user, going oversees, leaving a menagerie of animals...Christine put my mind at rest. She did an excellent job for of caring for each of my pets and keeping me up to date of everything by sending many precious photos. My home and plants were also very well cared full. I'm very grateful to have found her and will certainly use her again!”


“Brittany was great with our pup! This was the first time we had left her so we were a little nervous of course. Brittany checked in and sent us updates at least once a day and Opal even jumped in a mud puddle right before Brittany was going to leave and she stayed to give her a bath :)”


“Allison is absolutely awesome! She stayed over at our home with our two dogs and cat and everything went so well. The pets all just love her and it was easy to see from her messages and pictures that she took great care of our pets and our home. We all look forward to having Allison come again the next time a need arises!”


About: Hi, I’m Marlee ☺️ 🐶 I have experience watching several breeds and ages of dogs including aussiedoodles, golden doodles, chihuahuas, pitbulls, and more. 🦮 I provide drop-in, house-sitting, and walking services. When I’m at your home, I’m happy to also: 🌱 Water any plants ✉️ Gather the mail 🗑️ Take out the trash 🩵 Pet parents choose me because I’m communicative, responsible, and love their pets! 🗓️ My calendar is always up to date, so there is no confusion about when I’m free! 📄✨For longer sits, I’ll leave a fun report card for your doggo or cat! More about me: I have had so much fun watching my friend’s Aussiedoodle from when she was a puppy until now, which I am pictured with throughout my profile. In addition, I have also watched several different dogs while babysitting. Growing up, I had a cat that I solely took care of, but I also cared for animals on my family’s farm. I worked with goats, hogs, chickens, and ducks, as well as some farm dogs and cats. I work from home, so my schedule is relatively flexible to watch your pet(s)! I prefer walking, going to a park, or hanging out at your home with your pet(s)! I love going on walks with your pet, so I can easily make sure your pet gets their needed exercise. I also make sure owners are comfortable with me taking their dogs places before going anywhere.

About: From rescuing a three-legged friend to hosting large scale dog park events, I have experience caring for pets of all ages and abilities! I am passionate about animals getting exercise and engaging play time. ** I work second shift so I am available through the week when most people are at work! I am free most mornings until 1pm everyday. Tuesdays and Wednesdays I do not work so I have more flexibility on those days I treat pets as an extension of myself! I like to have ample space that is cozy as well as activities to keep myself entertained and happy, I believe every pet is entitled to these same privileges. I cater to individual needs of pets, prioritizing the voice of the owner!

“Lauren did such an amazing job with our pups. Updated us through out her stay and informed us that our one dog who needs meds twice a day when she gave him his meds. They were so comfortable with her they layed with her on the couch like they do with us. We appreciate you watching and taking good care of our babies!”


“Amanda took wonderful care of our two dogs and house while we were away. She provided regular photos showing the dogs on a walk or playing and we could tell they felt comfortable despite it being the first time she sat for them. We look forward to having Amanda sitting for us again and recommend her to anyone needing someone to stay within their home.”


About: I’ve been a proud dog mom my whole life, caring for my two pups throughout their lives, gaining hands on experience with everything from daily routines to unexpected 3am situations. Over the years, family and friends have regularly entrusted me with their pets, whether for a quick visit or extended stays. I understand how important it is to feel confident when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. You can count on me to provide attentive, realistic me and compassionate care with plenty of exercise and affection. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, happy and safe so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time but have the flexibility of working from home on Mondays and Fridays, which allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Even on days I’m in office, I’m available in the evenings and early mornings for walks, feedings and check-ins. I’m also completely free on weekends, making me a great fit for overnight stays, longer visits, or more active care when needed. I plan my schedule with plenty of time built in to ensure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Wherever I’m caring for pets, safety and trust are always my top priority. I take time to understand your pets needs, routine and personality. I make sure to respect your space while maintaining your pets normal routine to help them feel secure and comfortable.
