“Marcia was very kind and accommodated our travel plans which was much appreciated. She shared pictures during his day and took great care of him. We will be using her services again”

About: As a Family I’ve been taking care of pets for over 40 years. We took in bunnies, parakeets, dogs, cats. Especially close to my heart are senior pets. I am retired but help out with school drop off and pick up for my grandkids and watch them when they are out of school. They are all pet lovers and respectful of pets. I have a fenced in backyard and an elderly dog who loves spending time with other dogs I also go to friends and relatives houses to take care of their pets.
About: From fur to feathers & scales I’ve cared for all kinds of animals for 10 years. I am experienced with administering medications (topical, pills, drops, etc).I know how stressful it can be to leave a pet(s) behind, but have no fear this animal lover will care for them until your return! I am currently stay at home, so I am available during the day, weekends, and night time if needed. I can work with your routine if your pet has a set schedule. I have a fenced yard, and 2 friendly pups if your pet likes to socialize. If your pet prefers to be alone I can schedule individual yard time for them. I do have a separate room for those that prefer to be crated or are not use to free roaming. If pets prefer to stay at their homes I can keep them company for however long they require, along with making sure their needs are taken care of (food, water, potty time, playtime).
“Shadow had a blast hanging out with Clayton! He was super helpful in understanding some of her behaviors and helped with making her feel comfortable with other dogs.”


About: With over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, I provide dependable, loving, and personalized care that pets and owners can trust. My background includes caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, puppies, senior pets, high-energy breeds, and pets with unique routines or special needs. Growing up around animals and spending years working closely with them has taught me how to read pet behavior, create a calm environment, and build trust quickly. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the genuine connection I create with every animal. I treat each pet like family not just another appointment. I focus on safety, reliability, communication, and making sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication administration, or overnight care, I go above and beyond to give owners peace of mind and pets the attention they deserve. I will be available all summer full time from June- August as I am a high school teacher during the year. If needed I can also continue working part time during the school year. I provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment where pets are treated like part of the family. In my home, pets receive constant supervision, structured routines, plenty of playtime, exercise, and individualized attention based on their personality and needs. Safety is always my top priority I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space, closely monitor interactions, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so owners always feel informed and comfortable while away. As a pet owner myself with a friendly golden retriever puppy, I understand the importance of trust, patience, and proper care. My puppy is well-socialized and helps create a fun, welcoming environment for visiting pets while still respecting each animal’s comfort level and boundaries. With over 10 years of hands-on pet experience, I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and someone pet owners can truly count on for peace of mind.
About: (Base Access) Hello! I’m a Veteran, Mom of 3 kiddos, married to a Veteran and in my thirties with experience birthing puppies and goats, walking/running with dogs. I’ve taken care of 3 elderly dogs and helped them be as comfortable as possible before dying at home. Groomed our family dogs for years. I’ve helped my dogs and others after surgery and have experience giving medication. We have a single story home with only three steps to the backyard and two to the front yard. My husband and children are wonderful at cuddling and playing with all the dogs we get to meet. We will provide the full spectrum of care needed to help your furbaby feel loved and safe while away from their own family. I’m home most of the day every day, we go on walks as a family in the morning & evening. I have a minivan available for transporting all sizes of animals. We homeschool and my husband helps whenever I need to take the kids to activities. There are very few times where we are all away from home, so we are able to give extra attention. I have a large fenced yard with chickens (in their own fenced area) and my cats are friendly and live outside the home. Our home is a single story and the only steps are three to the backyard and two to the front yard. Our garage is heated/cooled and a great space to keep large kenneled pets. Our neighborhood is quiet and has a great road for walking on.
About: Hi I'm Jackia I'm new to this but I'm use to pets. I love animals. I like to take walks and go to the gym so I don't mind taking them on a walk. I've had a pet dog for 6 years now. Dogs are my favorite animal. I'm more of a dog person than a cat but I like cats too. I'm friendly and understanding and have patience. I have a passion for them and I would love to be able to spend time with him during my free time. One of my friends told me about this because she's knew I would enjoy it. I'm excited to meet some new friends. If you need me to help with anything else or have any questions let me know.

About: What sets me apart is that I actually stick to your pet’s routine and pay attention to the little things. I also don’t mind helping taking care of exotic pets because I am trying to be an Exotics/Wildlife Veterinarian and have always had a passion for exotics, so I’ll be more than happy to help! I’ve helped with puppy training like potty reinforcing basic commands, but I am always willing to learn any crate training or potty training. I’m also comfortable with senior pups and making sure they get extra patience, slower walks, or medications if needed but I will need to learn how to administer your pup’s medication. I always send updates and photos so you know your pups are happy and taken care of. Pet care fits really well into my routine since I’m mostly available in the afternoons. I usually plan my classes and responsibilities earlier in the day, so afternoons are open for walks, drop-ins, feedings, and playtime. It works out great because I can give pets my full attention without feeling rushed, and I’m able to stay consistent with their schedule. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding and walk schedules, give them plenty of attention, and respect their personality and space. I’m also very respectful of the home and always send updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.
About: I have been caring for and watching dogs since I was a young child. Unfortunately, my husband and I are not currently able to get a dog due to the uncertainty of work schedules. Therefore, I decided that there was no better place for me than rover! I would love spending the afternoon walking, playing, hiking, or running with your dog! I have plenty of space for your dog to explore outside, or take them to mini trips to the dog park or to get a pupcup! I grew up with 3 golden retrievers, but have experience caring for pitbulls, dachshunds, boxers, red heeler, pugs, etc. I am also willing to take the time to learn the specific needs of your pet and take the extra step to build a relationship with them to give them the care they need. Please read the "cat care details" to see how I would care for your kitty friends! ☺️ I currently work part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I offer boarding 7 days a week and pet walking and at home visits in the afternoons after 3 pm or anytime on the weekends! I have an open yard for your dogs to run or explore. Your doggos are free to lounge on my furniture or bring their own beds & blankies to sleep on. When caring for dogs at their home, I will gladly take them on however long of a walk they're used to. (I love walking, running, and hiking).
About: I can’t remember a time I didn’t have a dog. I love to play with them and do anything I can to keep them happy. We’ve got our own house with a fenced in back yard. I am a stay at home mom as well. My kids loves to be outside, so we’ll get plenty of play time! I treat the dogs I watch as they’re my own. Give as much cuddles and play time as they want/need. I will meet all the requirements requested and anything else the dog/owner may need.

About: Hey! I am a dog trainer with my Bachelors degree in Canine Training in Management looking to help out in my community! I’ve spent years studying canine behavior, communication, body language, health, and training. Your loved ones will be safe in my care and they may even learn a thing or two! I am available most of the time, my husband is a Marine and I own my dog training business so I set my schedules to help as many people as possible! I have all the tools to care for your pets the best way possible, I have a surplus of gear, toys, treats (allergy dependent), and safe travel. I have a crash tested kennel in my vehicle as well as a fenced in yard and friendly dogs if you want your pup to have some friends! Your pup can go on hikes and adventures with mine and they will be treated like part of my pack!
“Kristin and Kira were rockstars! They took great care of our dog Loop with daycare last minute while we were visiting family in town. He came back tired and happy each day. Would recommend them for sure!”


About: After taking a break the last few years to raise little ones, we are BACK and opening our home to new four-legged friends! ABOUT US- We are a house full of dog lovers. I grew up with miniature schnauzers and labs. I love all breeds. My husband and I have a sweet, submissive and energetic seven year old black lab. We also have two young, sweet boys. Dogs MUST be friendly and good with kids and other dogs. Must have experience around young children. Our kids are not allowed in dog kennels or around dogs while they are eating. They are sweet with all animals and are taught to treat them with respect. We don’t allow rough play with animals. We love dogs and would love a house full so we are excited to host pups in our home! We will love on your animal and treat them as our own. It will be lots of playtime with our lab and kiddos. We have a fenced in back yard with lots of room for play. I work from home so your pup will have constant scratching, love, potty breaks, and play time. Our dog has never met a stranger dog and we will monitor them closely to be sure everyone is playing nice at all times. We will not accept aggressive dogs in our home. Can't wait for pup playtime with your furry one! I am a stay at home mom and artist so my life revolves around caring for humans and pets! We have a relaxed and flexible schedule and move as the day leads us. 🙃 Lots of scratch sessions and outside time. We have a big backyard for lots of play. Pets are allowed on furniture. We would prefer a crate be provided to give a familiar happy space and breaks if needed.
“Pam and Frank were so good with Dexter! They sent plenty of pictures which helped me feel so much better about leaving him. They played with him, snuggled him, and wore him out during his visit. We will definitely utilize their services again!”

About: Hello, my name is Emily! I have 6 years of experience taking care of pets, and would love to help you with your fur babies. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I am home and available 7 days a week unless my schedule states otherwise. We have a female dog, Luna, she is very sweet and good with cats as well as dogs. My family loves all animals and will make sure your pet(s) are not only taken care of but also loved on while you are away. I will only dog sit potty trained pets and I prefer not to use crates if possible. We do have a toddler, she understands boundaries with pets, but if your dog or cat is afraid of or aggressive towards small children we won’t be a good fit. Please feel free to message me with any questions! Thank you ♥️🐈🐕🦺 I’m currently a stay at home mom so I am home full time unless otherwise stated on my personal Rover schedule which can be found on my profile :) I have a fenced in yard that the dogs can run around in, any holes have been blocked by center blocks to prevent anyone wanting to escape. We also have baby gates on hand to make safe spaces for your pet in my home!
About: I’ve had and taking care of many dogs over the years, I have extensive experience with elderly dogs and puppies alike. My own dog lived a very happy life and recently passed at 16. I am eager to have dogs to care for again. I currently work close to home and my partner is working from home. Ben would be free to walk the dog when needed throughout the day and let them out whenever they needed to go out. We are both home at night! Ben is home all day and we are both generally home all night! I work for the school system, so I will be out of work mid afternoon each day. We did Rover for many months without a fenced in yard or a house so we are excited to be able to give dogs a place to run around!
