“Katherine is truly fantastic! She really goes above and beyond and does an excellent job at keeping us up to date with all of her visits. I think our dog is truly living his best life when she’s sitting and I’ve never felt more at ease leaving him home.”


“This was our first time using Rover and Allison went above and beyond taking care of our two cats while we were out of town!! She sent us pictures and kept us updated every day. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”


“Ali is an amazing, kind and compassionate animal advocate. Ali was more than willing to meet with me a few times before the visit to ensure that we both felt comfortable with her in care of our pets. She's thoughtful and very thorough when it comes to asking the right questions and assuring the pet owner's comfort. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter.”


About: I’ve pet sit for family/friends and I work at a kennel. I also own my own pets as well. I’m going to school to be a veterinarian technician. My work schedule changes a lot but I’m more than happy to work pet care in for you and your pet to make you happy! I treat the pets like they are my own and making sure they are getting enough attention and have the necessities they need through out the day.

About: Hello! my name is Ellie and I: -Grew up on a hobby farm and have been responsible for the care of cats, dogs, goats, chickens and other birds. -House sat for other families and have taken care of their dogs, cats and other animals. -I have a huge love for animals -I genuinely want to do my best in taking care of your pets<3 I am currently working on growing my small business as an artist from home so I have plenty of free time on my hands. I can come any day of the week except Sunday mornings. But please try to give me as much warning as possible so that I can be sure I don't plan something else on that day. I am sorry but I do not offer bording, overnight house sitting, or doggy daycare services. I do offer dog walking and drop in visits though.

“Mackenzie is super reliable and I trust them to give my dog the care she needs and be in my home while I’m at work! I love getting the videos and pictures that they send me”


“Angela was very flexible with us and was able to visit with Misty twice a day while we visited family out of state for a weekend. She made sure to get Misty her medicine, checked her water and litter, and gave her lots of love. She always gave updates and cute pictures. We appreciated working with her!”


About: I have lots of experience working with dogs with Thyroid disorders, joint problems, hip problems, diabetes, and special diets. I'm very flexible. All you have to do is ask and we'll see. I've had Chocolate Labs, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Poodles, Terriers, and Shih Tzus. I love animals especially puppies and dogs. I am also willing to watch your cats if you also have them. I wanted to be a veterinarian or veterinary assistant but I didn't quite have the grades for it so that's why I decided to become a dog sitter, a dog walker, pet care taker, dog lover, and pet lover. I will take the best care of your pet and love it like my very own. Hope to hear from you soon. I'm available for house sitting on weekends and some week nights just ask me. Availability for pet care all week depending on the hours needed. I always accompany pets when they are outside even in a fenced in yard. I take short or long walks depending on what is requested.

“It was so nice to be able to take a day trip and come home in the evening to a calm, happy dog. Normally she’s anxious without me but Kelli took her on a nice walk and then sat on the deck with her which is my senior dog’s favorite activity. Uli was so relaxed when I got home that I know she had been well cared for. Thank you Kelli!”

About: We have been pet sitting for friends and colleagues for 2 years so thought why not join Rover and do more! Our clients love my family and we love their pets so it makes perfect sense. I have 4 kids, a small dog and two cats and my small pets just hide if a visiting pet is too much for them otherwise they don't get bothered or bother anyone else, human or pet! I work from home and I have 4 kids who love cats and dogs and love to help out with the dogs that we already provide services for. We are trusted with hideaway keys to homes to let dogs out and we run them in fenced in yards to burn energy. Then we make sure they have food and water and kennel them if applicable before we leave. In our house, visiting pets are watched over by all members of the family. Sometimes we buy them their own special toy to play with. We make sure they eat and get any meds they might need.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. That’s a long time! I assure you your dog would be in good hands! I will love them like they were mine! I stay home now so I’m available pretty much anytime. I’m willing to go to your home if it’s not to far away. Just ask I’m sure we can work something out. I have a fenced in yard. I have two friendly dogs. One has a crate and one doesn’t. They both sleep where they want. I crate one only sometimes.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and have dog sat for other people multiple times. I also have other pets like guinea pigs, a hamster and a snake! I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to come and check in on your pets or take them for a walk! I live in the country and have a year old dog to keep your dog company! I can also put my dog away if needed!

About: I worked at a Vet Clinic for five years where I worked with dogs of all ages. My specialty was senior dogs. I consider myself patient and loving. I’m currently in between being done with my masters degree and looking for a new job with my degree. I’m taking a break between now and then so I have plenty of time to provide services ! I have one dog who is very friendly to other animals. I have one cat who is very independent and will not be a bother to any other friends.

About: As someone who has been around dogs since the age of 9, pet care comes naturally to me. I have always had a deep love and appreciation for animals, and have made it my mission to care for them intentionally. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience in pet sitting, dog walking, and basic grooming. I take pride in providing the highest level of care for every pet I encounter, and strive to create a comfortable and safe environment for them. My passion for animal welfare drives me to always go above and beyond for the pets under my care, ensuring that they receive the love and attention they deserve. Dog sitting is a great option for me. I can easily take care of the dog during the day while I work, and have plenty of time to spend with them on the weekends. Plus, since I'm already at home, it's convenient for me to give the dog the attention and care they need throughout the day. When entrusted to care for a dog owner's pet in their home while they are away, I provide attentive and responsible care. This involves following the owner's instructions for feeding, exercise, and any medication or special needs the pet may have. I also make sure the pet receives plenty of love and attention, with regular playtime and cuddles. Additionally, I keep the home clean and tidy, and communicate with the owner as needed to ensure they have peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands.

“Took good care of my dog. She gave him a bath and he smells like butterscotch. She even went back for an unscheduled last moment visit to check on the dog when I asked her because the dog was freaking out so much during my long day at work.”


About: I've had my own dogs and cats since I was a kid. Family and friends call on me for help and guidance with their pets. Anything from feedings, baths, nail trims and health questions. I am currently working full time. I will be available after work during the week. Weekends, I am available to spend time interacting, playing and taking care of your dogs/cats. I can, feed, bathe, play with your pets. Go on walks or play in a yard. If crating is needed I'm able to do that as well.
