About: I’ve had dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of who I am. Over the years I’ve owned and cared for many different breeds and personalities, including Saint Bernards, Great Danes, and Coonhounds, which gave me plenty of experience handling large and giant-breed dogs. I’ve also shared my home with multiple cats over the years—many of them seniors—so I understand the patience, routine, and gentle care older pets often need. I’ve spent years fostering animals as well, frequently working with senior pets and dogs that may be anxious or slow to trust new people. I pride myself on being patient and letting animals warm up to me at their own pace so they can feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. My home currently includes an Alaskan Klee Kai and a Border Collie mix, so daily life already revolves around exercise, enrichment, and making sure dogs stay happy and engaged. When I travel, my trips are often pet-focused—I’ve driven cross-country multiple times with my dogs to explore new trails, parks, and adventures together. For walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, I always aim to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel secure in their own home. As a larger and experienced handler, I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs on leash and adapting to different energy levels—whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers relaxed companionship and a calm presence. I’m also experienced in administering most medications and providing attentive care for senior pets who may need a little extra support. I have a very flexible work schedule, and can accommodate most dogs needs! As far as overnight sitting, I will be there from 8 pm until 8 am and will also be coming by a few times a day. Puppies and youngsters (or whoever needs it!) can be accommodated with more drop ins just let me know! If you require 24/7 care this can be arranged as well just let me know prior to booking! Your dog’s comfort and routine are my top priorities. I provide focused attention, interactive play, and companionship tailored to your pup’s personality — from calm evenings at home to energetic walks or adventures at parks and trails. I’m experienced with all sizes and breeds, so whether your dog is a tiny pup or a gentle giant, they’ll receive care that’s attentive and consistent. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, happy, and fully engaged throughout their stay

“Courtney was great! We felt very comfortable being away knowing that our pets were getting so much love and attention. We had clear and frequent communications and a plenty of pictures confirming all the good things happening. We'd (and our critters) would be very happy to see Courtney again.”

“Emily was wonderful! Albert is a very high energy dog, and Emily did such a great job keeping him moving. We loved the videos and pictures she sent. We will definitely be booking Emily again.”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover who grew up with 3 dogs, and regularly pet sit for friends and family before deciding to make it official. Friends often call me an animal whisperer because even shy or nervous pets tend to warm up to me quickly. I work remotely, and am very active, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention (and activity)! I work remotely and have very flexible hours, so your pet will have plenty of time, walking, snuggling, and being active. I also attend run clubs where pets are allowed, so if your fur baby is social, I’ll happily take them! I have a backyard, and live in a community with plenty areas to walk and sniff. Pets are welcome to be on furniture and in bed! I’m an excellent communicator, and will work collaboratively with you to determine the best care plan for your pet.

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life and have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. Growing up, my mom had five dogs—some of which had puppies—and I helped raise and care for them. I’ve also cared for cats in multi-pet households, including feeding, litter box maintenance, and creating calm, safe environments for shy or senior cats. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I now have a black Yorkie of my own, and I treat every animal I care for like part of the family—whether they bark or purr! I currently work part time- and have lots of free time! I will send out a daily schedule of what I’ll be doing with the pets! I will take your dog out on walks on our neighborhood trail outside! I also have a few ring cameras, and will send a lot of pictures/videos throughout the day.

“Kevin was wonderful! He communicated with us regularly and included photos. He took excellent care of all our pets and our house. We are grateful to have Kevin as a sitter and will definitely use him again in the future.”

“I highly recommend Cristina. Our timid Italian Greyhound warmed up to her quickly and even our cat came out for a cameo visit. She communicated well and sent pictures of the kids. I will be using her again! Thank you Cristina J”

About: I have worked alongside my mom who has been with Rover for 8 years! I took care of my own dog in my college dorm for a year as well! I’m currently a student at AACC and I’m working on weekend at a restaurant! Most days, I work on schoolwork and hangout with my own dogs at home! I try to take my dog out every hour to two hours because she loves being outside! I try to give her fresh water every few hours and she is feed twice a day! We also go on walks when it’s nice out!

About: I've always been the go-to gal for my friends and family who need care for their pets. I've made many furry friends over the years. I'm a freelance writer with lots of freedom to come and go, so my schedule is pretty flexible. If you need pet care on short notice, I'll do my best to accommodate. Your pet can enjoy the comfort of its own home while I come over and cater to their needs. We'll become the best of friends!

“Emily is outstanding! We have two recently adopted rescues that came from a horrible situation, so they are understandably skittish. In addition, one of our older rescues is anxious around strangers, so we usually end up doing a few meet and greets to warm her up. Emily only required one meet and greet; all of our dogs were out and running around her within ten minutes, which is truly rare. This tells you how gentle and calming Emily’s energy is around pets. Her background as a vet tech made us especially comfortable given our pups’ context. The dogs had a great time with Emily and she sent plenty of updates. We have already booked her to take care of them for several future trips. You can’t go wrong with her!”

“Julie was fantastic! Communicate her arrival, departure, updates on the pups, pictures. Tesla and Eevie were content and happy. Glad I found her; recommended and I will have her watch the pups anytime!”

“Oh, I’m not quite sure where to begin. Owen is such an incredibly sweet, caring and kind young man! We’ve used Rover several times as well as neighbors and friends and family over the years to watch our dogs (we have a 1.5 year old golden doodle, a 7-year-old mini cockapoo, and a 12 yr old miniature boxer) we decided to take a last minute vacation to go see our daughter in North Carolina, which means we were gonna be a good 6 to 7 hours away as well from our dogs, which was nerve-racking and none of our usual people were available. In fact, I couldn’t find anyone available because of the short notice in the five star review arena. I was hesitant to book Owen because the Rover rating had him only like a 2 1/2 star review. But I read the comments and he had two other five star raving reviews and then just one pretty negative rating, but my gut just kept bringing me back to him telling me to give him a chance, so I did. Well you know the saying, “Always trust your gut?” Definitely didn’t fail us with Owen! Our dogs can be pretty intimidating when someone comes up to our dorm. They barrow and sound really ferocious and then they jump all over you be a handful. Owen took right to them and they took right to him! Oh, I forgot to mention the other thing I was nervous about with booking Owen is that he is male. My boxer is not usually a fan of guys whatsoever and he’s super protective if I’m the only one around and not only did he not growl or act standoffishat all towards Owen he seemed like he had known him forever! I honestly wish I could share the photos on here of that same dog Ling with Owen and one of the several photos he sent me. He did every single thing I asked 100% correctly! Which honestly that’s shocking because I leave a full one page document single spaced typed out for people staying at our house watching the dogs and I expect people to forget or missstuff it because it is a lot! Heck my husband and teenage son that live with the dogs full-time don’t remember everything that I want done. Lol Owen didn’t miss a single thing! On top of that, I also have Ringcameras all around the exterior of my home and he played with them and loved on them and they loved on him. In fact I think they even slept with him at night! Lol we got daily check ins from Owen and anything that he noticed was concerning or had questions on he messaged us. And was always super apologetic about disturbing us on vacation. He’s probably nice to a fault Ha! He also washed his bedding in the bedhe stayed in, put our dishes away and some other things which 110,000% is not expected at all! The other thing was shocking is whenever we leave even if family is watching the dogs the dogs will rarely eat and they were so comfortable with him they ate normally! Fortunately with us, we’ve never had any bad experiences with anyone we’ve used on Rover and I would have any of them back again! That being said, there’s just such a loving kind energy that comes off of him that the dogs pick up on so he will be my first call for our next vacation. My husband and I were so impressed with him. We’ve actually thought about reaching out to Rover and seeing if that one negative review could be removed because I get everyone has different experiences, but I just don’t know how there could’ve been such an enormouschange from that review to now is, it’s just not even his character or personality which you will understand if you book him which I highly recommend you do! He should be there with the other five star people, hands-down! So Owen, thank you so very much for loving our babies while we were gone and making us feel so so very comfortable that I don’t have to stress about leaving again! You are a kind soul and I know you had asked me for any tips or suggestions or feedback I can give you for the next time that you can improve on and young man I cannot think of a single thing and that is saying a lot coming from someone like me who is a perfectionist and OCD! We can’t wait to have you over again and I know Jax,Nahla and Montana can’t wait for you to come and stay again also!”

“Savannah was very punctual for both the meet & greet and the overnight sit at our house. I also appreciated the communication she gave about her schedule. This was our first time having an overnight sitter and it was great to be able to count on someone. Lemonade seemed to enjoy herself as well. We will definitely use Savannah in the future!”

About: I’ve cared for my own dog for the past 3 years, giving me daily, real‑world experience with feeding routines, walks, training, and managing anxiety. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while their people are away. I work during the day, but I’m available for pet care in the afternoons, evenings, weekends, and on most holidays. I make time to ensure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and companionship while they’re in my care. I’ve owned my own dog for the past three years and have experience living with two dogs and three cats, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I prioritize their safety by following your care instructions, maintaining their feeding and potty schedules, keeping a clean and secure environment, and providing plenty of supervision, affection, and exercise. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

“When we were planning a trip out of the country, we wanted someone who was serious and committed to doing the best job they could for our cats and our house. We found this in Michael, who quickly earned the love and trust of Bagheera & Laska, our 2 cats. They are so different in personality and temperament it's hard to believe. Michael quickly won over the shy, cautious Laska, and became Bagheera's best buddy for playing and walks around the yard. He's not a snuggly cat, but he trusted Michael enough to even sit in his lap. We also felt that we could completely rely on Michael to do anything that was needed. When we got back, the plants had been watered, the house was as we left it (messy but clean), and the cats were happy. We trust Michael and highly recommend him.”

About: I give plenty of playtime and make sure pets get lots of exercise and attention. Since I’m a runner, I can even go on runs with dogs who are comfortable with it. I also have experience caring for puppies, giving them the patience and gentle guidance they need. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, engaged, and loved while in my care. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine—since pet sitting makes up the majority of my work, I have plenty of time to devote to each dog and cat. I also attend online business school, which allows me to do homework from anywhere, giving me a flexible schedule that ensures your pets get consistent attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet I care for. I always take time to observe an animal when I first meet them, noting any quirks or behaviors. If a pet seems skittish, I approach slowly and respectfully, letting them get comfortable at their own pace. I stay mindful of their body language and reactions, ensuring they feel safe, relaxed, and understood while in my care.

About: I have a large fenced backyard and 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all personalities and energy levels. I grew up with dogs and am comfortable with potty training, daily exercise, and maintaining good routines. I also have experience with senior dogs, special needs dogs, and giving medication when needed. I’ll make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. while keeping pet parents updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. I am compatible with low energy and energetic dogs and know how to channel their energy into fun, productive activities that build confidence, reinforce good behavior, and strengthen important life skills. Whether your dog loves playing fetch, practicing basic commands, exploring new walking routes, or simply getting extra attention and companionship, I strive to make every visit enjoyable and enriching. I am free every day from Monday to Sunday from 11 AM until 1AM. I have a very flexible and free schedule . No dog is too much work for me. I can handle it all 😌. I go back to community college in the fall semester. So summer days are perfect for me. I am open to meet and greets before a booking is made. I have a pond behind my house where I can walk dogs to get in a good exercise. I also have a long sidewalk trail in my neighborhood that also has a great area of grass land for dogs to run and play. I lastly have a park 2 minutes from my house where dogs can run,play and interact with other dogs.
