“From pulling into Spencer's driveway this morning, my grand dog was so incredibly excited, she didn't even say goodbye to grandma She spent the day begging, interacting with the resident dogs who are amazing, resting and playing and just living her best life. She can't wait for the next time grandma has to go to the office”

About: Lifelong dog owner and previous pet-sitting business owner; will care for your dog; young, old, big, small. Your dog will be lovingly cared for! (Note: So sorry but we are cautious about hosting aggressive breeds because of past experiences.) I am home quite a bit so your pup will get plenty of attention and exercise. I may be out for a two+ hour stretch here and there, so feel free to bring a crate if your dog prefers to be in there when they are alone. We have a fenced in yard with lots of space to roam. We also have hiking trails nearby for walks, if preferred. Plenty of exercise given!

“Jim has been an awesome sitter for our 14 year old Yorkie poo, Cupcake. He helped us in an emergency and cared for our old girl as if she was his own! We will definitely use Jim again!”

About: Im 25 experienced with all size dogs and all breeds. Im willing to stay at pet owners home if needed or can bring to my house if absolutely necessary and the dogs attitude will decide on being in my home due to me having 5 dogs of my own most are 8+ I love to meet new pets all the time. Puppies are my weakness to be honest. I may set up a photo shoot for your dog just to remember all the cute faces ive worked with. I do prefer reaccuring walks with the same dogs so they can get used to 1 normal person to walk them when needed and so the walker knows what to expect from the dog themselves. Look forward to working and building a great client base. I’m a former vet tech and have been trained in medication administration, nail trims and baths. I’m also certified in cpr and wound care. I have experience with all breeds big and small mean and nice. It’s a full time job for me both rover and private. I’m always meeting new clients to add to the team and I always stay up to date on all the new certifications I can get to keep making things better for clients. I have a small fenced section of my yard for quick potty breaks. I prefer to walk my dogs and any guests I have over.

“Sarah was able to take my dogs on short notice and she was very communicative and also just a very nice person. I would definitely use her services again in the future and recommend her to anyone who needs a safe and reliable dog sitter!”

About: When your pet stays with us, they aren’t just “a booking;” they are a part of our family. My husband and I have been together for 21 years, and we have four awesome(teen/adult) boys who genuinely adore animals. They’re gentle, helpful, and always excited to welcome a new furry friend into the house. We’re an active family, and if your dog loves adventures, they’re welcome to join us on walks, playtime, parks, and plenty of supervised fun. If they prefer a calmer vibe, we’re just as happy to keep things cozy, safe, and peaceful. We’ve also fostered multiple puppies and kittens over the years, so we’re used to different personalities, energy levels, and adjustment periods. Whether your pet is shy, playful, or a little bit spicy, they’ll be cared for with patience, structure, and love. Your fur baby will be treated like our own; with attention, communication, and lots of snuggles (when invited, of course). We can’t wait to meet them! 💛 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m in nursing school taking online classes; which means I’m home full-time and am fully available. My schedule is flexible, so feedings, walks, meds, and cuddle breaks aren’t squeezed in; they are planned and prioritized. I treat every pet check-in like a shift I’m responsible for... on time, attentive, and consistent. Your pets get real supervision, routine, and calm company all day, not “quick drop-ins between errands.” 🧡🐱💛🐶💚 🧡 Safety is non-negotiable. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I start by learning a pet’s routine, medical needs, triggers, and boundaries; then I stick to it. Doors, leashes, crates, and gates are double-checked. Medications are logged. Water bowls stay fresh. I keep the environment calm, clean, and predictable so pets know what to expect. In a client’s home, I respect house rules exactly as written and leave things as tidy as I found them. In my home, I supervise closely, separate pets when needed, and use slow, safe introductions; especially with “spicy” personalities or anxious fur babies. I’d rather move slowly and prevent a problem than apologize after one. The goal is simple: pets feel secure, routines stay stable, and you know they’re being watched with the same attention I’d give my own.🧡

“Alexa was amazing. Super responsive, sent a ton of pictures and kept me updated. Roo had a cone on during his stay and when the one I had broke, Alexa made she he got a new one same day. Would highly recommend”

“Wendy was awesome with my Patches. This was the first time we utilized Rover and Wendy. My Patches has had one primary day care in over a year so, I was reluctant to start someone new. From the moment we met Wendy, we knew she would be a good fit for him. She was down to earth and knowledgeable and best of all he liked her from the start. He doesn't always respond positively to new people, but he certainly did. I felt very comfortable dropping him off. Wendy sent pictures and he seemed to enjoy himself there. I will definitely utilize Wendy again and strongly recommend her!!”

“Beth is a very kind hearted person and Benny really loves her. I don’t think Benny missed us while Benny was with her. I will leave my dog anytime with her and plus she is very close to us.”

About: About Me Hi, I’m Pam! I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all breeds—puppies to seniors—and treat every pet as family. I’m organized, caring, and deeply dependable, and I’d be honored to care for your pup. Why Choose Me? Flexible & Present: I work from home and dedicate undivided attention to each pet—companionship is always there. Routine-Focused: I follow your pet’s normal routine closely—mealtimes, walks, play sessions—to help them feel at ease. Why I Love Pet Sitting Dogs and cats have been part of my life forever—I can’t imagine not having at least one around! I balance caring for pets with raising my son—I’m home, present, and fully engaged. We’re warmly present at all times—your pet will be with company and attention throughout their care. Thank you for considering me—I look forward to making your pet feel right at home! 1. Adhere to Your Pet’s Regular Routine As an effective sitter, I stick closely to your pet’s feeding, walking, and activity schedules to reduce stress and help them feel at ease. Consistency makes all the difference—pets thrive on familiarity and structure. 2. Lean on Written Schedules & Reminders I rely on alarms, digital reminders, or a shared care document outlining feeding times, walks, and medication schedules. Detailed care plans—not just verbal instructions—help ensure nothing is overlooked. 3. Balance Walks, Play, and Mental Stimulation Your pup will enjoy walks in the morning and evening, play sessions in the yard or with toys, and brain games like puzzles or training drills. This balanced mix keeps pets physically active and mentally engaged, which is a hallmark of personalized, attentive care. 4. Clear Communication with Owners I provide updates via text, photos, or videos—tailored to your preference. Whether you'd like a daily summary or only updates if something important comes up, I'll make sure our communication fits what works best for you. Clear, consistent updates help build trust and peace of mind. 1. Create a Secure, Pet‑Safe Environment I prioritize safety by pet-proofing all areas—tucking away loose items, securing small objects, and removing anything toxic within reach. I supervise pets at all times, even in fenced yards, and avoid assuming familiarity protects against escapes or mishaps. 2. Use Barriers and Supervision for Added Security To prevent accidental exits, I employ secondary barriers—like baby gates or exercise pens—when entering or exiting through doors. Even in clients’ homes, I discuss acceptable barrier use ahead of time to ensure safety. 3. Establish Safe Boundaries & Routines I maintain separate feeding areas and “own spaces” for each pet to avoid tension and provide comfort. Cleanliness and routine are central—each pet has its own safe zone, whether in my home or yours- 4. Meet & Greet for Confidence and Preparedness I always recommend a Meet & Greet before booking—this gives us a chance to establish comfort and go over logistics such as key access, gate codes, and safe entry routes. It also helps me anticipate quirky behaviors and preferences that enhance care. 5. Respecting Your Home & Access Protocols When caring for pets in your home, I ensure a secure access plan—whether through tested codes, spare keys, or lockboxes—and always return keys promptly. I conduct perimeter checks to confirm gates are closed, trash secured, and hazardous zones off-limits. 6. Open, Tailored Communication Builds Trust I’ll work with you to determine your preferred update style—daily summaries, photo check-ins, or notes only if something unusual occurs. Consistent, clear communication not only reassures you, but also ensures your pet’s care is seamless. 7. Emergency Preparedness Included I keep emergency contact info—including vets, local animal hospitals, and your trusted contacts—on hand. I’m prepared to act quickly and responsibly in case of illness or safety concerns. 8. Built‑In Assurance through Rover’s Standards As part of the Rover community, I’ve passed a comprehensive background check and adhere to Rover’s Trust & Safety protocols, including the Rover Guarantee and responsive booking protection. Our communications always stay within the platform to ensure transparency and security.

“Willa loved her day at Jordyn’s house! They took such great care of her, and Willa was instantly comfortable with them both. I would highly recommend!”

“Jacky and her family are wonderful, warm and caring animal lovers who paid close attention to our energetic Weimaraner. He became fast friends with the dogs and kids and he seemed calm and tired after a day of play. I loved getting details about his day - it’s priceless. 5-stars all around. We definitely look forward to sending the pup over again. Thank you Jacky!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid. Everything from turtles, fish, hamsters, to cats and dogs. I’m currently a stay at home mom with a 5.5 and 3 year old. All of us love animals, especially dogs. We would be honored to care for your fur babies while you are away! I’m a stay at home mom and my husband works from home. Between the two of us, someone is usually here. Sometimes I have errands to run but I’m not ever gone more than 2-3 hours max. I do not have a fenced in yard but am happy to walk your dog as often as needed. We have a very dog friendly neighborhood and it’s quiet. We are open to using a crate or don’t have to- whatever is the owners preference.

“Excellent and caring work in terms of a very loved pup! Thank you Catherine.”
