“I needed someone last minute to walk my German Shepard and Lindsay was the first to respond. She sent me pics of the walk and also let me know what business he did so I was prepared when I got home from work. I've had other instances where I've had to book last minute, but Lindsay is my girl for pur household whenever we need services, hands down! Thanks, Lindsay, for all that you did for our baby! ❤️”


About: I have always loved dogs and have owned dogs my entire adult life. I have had the honor of caring for two litters of puppies. To experience the journey from birth to 8 weeks old is absolutely amazing. My pets have always been treated like my family and I could never imagine not having pets in my life. I am retired military and stay home to be there for my kids. I love having the flexibility to care for animals and my family. I am willing and available to care for your pets just like they were my own. Whatever your wishes are for your pets, I can make sure it happens.


“Ruth is exceptional! She is timely, communicative, and very thoughtful. Our meet and greet was wonderful, and I could tell she is very thorough because of all of the questions she asked to make sure our fur babies get the best care possible. Today she walked our dogs while we were away, sent a report card, and multiple pictures. We are extremely pleased and look forward to hiring her again ☺️ Thanks, Ruth!”

About: I’ve always had a big heart for dogs. Caring for them comes naturally to me as I truly love being around them, giving them attention, love, and companionship. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m very flexible and love spending time with dogs. I can adapt to your pet’s schedule and needs. Whether in my home or a client’s, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick to their usual routines, give them lots of attention, and keep their environment clean and calm. Playtime, walks, and cuddle time are always included!

“April is wonderful! All three of my fur babies took an immediate liking to her. My pup is a bit shy, but by day 2 was offering up her belly for rubs! She is our go to from here on out.”


“Cassidy was very accommodating, flexible and kind with my fur babies. It was their first time left alone all day in a very long time and my first time using the app and Cassidy was patient with my new navigation of this process and tender hearted to my lonely doggie. Warmed my heart that she sat with my girl and encouraged her to eat her meal even though she was missing her momma. I even needed to add an extra walk when my day went unexpectedly late, and this was no issue.”


About: I completed a four year veterinary program in high school on top of being a lifetime animal lover who tries to gain as much general animal information as possible. With this I have basic skills and knowledge on how to handle dogs professionally. At college, I am my dog’s full time caretaker as well as taking care of three dogs total at home. I love dogs of all sizes and ages! I plan on working part time for the summer, but whenever I am not working I am available! My weekly schedule cannot be known until my job posts when I work but I will be able to communicate specifics. I will comply to and rules and regulations that the owners put in place for their animals. I cannot work out of my own home but am more than willing to pet sit or do drop in at the owners home, where their dog will more likely be at home.

“Rachelle was so responsive and made me feel so comfortable! It is my first time ever using Rover & I’m glad that she was available. Definitely will be using her services again! Highly recommend!”


“Cameron is wonderful! Very caring, loving with my pup, easygoing and communicative. I’m so glad I found someone I can trust and feel comfortable with!”


About: I have cared for dogs for over 30 years. Mine, friends etc. I have watched dogs, cats, lizards, bunnies. Please no snakes. No issue with multiple animals. This is my full time job. If I have availability I can help you. I am open for last minute bookings because I don’t have another job. I only care for dogs in the clients home. If a situation arose where I needed to care for a dog in my home I have a fully fenced large back yard and a crate for them to feel comfortable in.

“Thanks so much taking care of Quincey-sr dog and Endy puppy; different needs; feeding,walking and making sure they were happy and cared for”


About: I have always had an admiration for animals no matter the type. But for some reason the love that you get in return from a dog is just indescribable. I know that it is always a weary feeling to leave your babies in the care of someone else. But it definitely helps to know that the person caring for your pet shares the same passion that you do. I never thought that I would own small dogs but I am actually glad that I do have two Chihuahuas now because I can take them almost anywhere! There has been an occasional weekend trip where I haven't been able to bring the pups along and it just didn't feel the same having to leave them behind. So if you have to leave them, leave them with someone who will care for them just as well as their own! I definitely prioritize my pets before any plans are made! No matter the time of day, week or year. They are my fur babies and anyone that knows me will agree! Depending on the environment or location, I would definitely say to use a leash first and foremost. I would also like to know if you know about the other animals in the area, just to provide as much safety as possible.

About: I grew up on a farm and then moved on to caring for my family's pets. My love for animals grew as I have aged I am semi retired and home all day with plenty of time to be attentive to the animals in my care. They will be well looked after I live in a safe contained mobile home park where there is plenty of room to walk pets. I also have a yard and Florida room. I do work part time i do still have alot of time for your pets and time to walk and playing and petting and lying on the couch I have a Florida room whitch i call the rover room we go out and play when it's raining i keep my living room door open

About: I've always been surrounded by dogs (especially German Shepherds)! Between walking neighbors' dogs, pet sitting, and having my own, I have built experience in taking care of them. I have also worked at a Dog Daycare where I supervised groups of over 50 dogs. My dad was a K9 handler, so I grew up knowing how to train and care for dogs. I am also an undergrad student on the Pre-Veterinary track with lots of volunteer hours toward clinic work! I am currently working part-time, so I have lots of time to take your pets on long and fun walks! My schedule varies but will be quick to respond back regarding questions about dates and times. With walks around the neighborhood, your pets will be treated just like my own! Please let me know if there are any special requests or occomodations needed for your dog :)

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all of my life. I have always been the go to sitter for friends and family. I am especially experienced with senior dogs and understand the patience, gentleness and extra care they need. I’ve also trained my own pets from a young age, so I’m comfortable working with both older and energetic puppies. Above all, my husband and I treat every pet like family. I work full-time, and my husband is an independent worker with a flexible schedule, so we tag team pet care throughout the day. Our routine allows us to provide check ins and potty breaks approximately every 2-4 hours. We make sure pets are never left alone for too long and always have the attention they need. We’re also available on weekends and happy to accommodate your pets usual routine as closely as possible. Safety and trust are my top priorities. While I have an unfenced yard, I always use leash and supervise pets closely during outdoor time. I have a calm home environment with open space for pets to walk, play and relax. My senior chihuahua has their own separate room, which helps maintain a peaceful setting and allows me to keep visiting pets comfortable and safe.

“Jon as been super professional and is great with our dog who is excitable and can be a handful.”

Shelisha F.
“Shelisha is a caring and compassionate person towards people and pets. She has this ability to connect with animals that is truly amazing and endearing. They seem to establish a connection with her almost instantly. I think it has to do with how sensitive towards her and the animal's emotions she is and animals are able to pick up on that. Shelisha has been a great care giver to many pets in the past and will continue to deliver this with a positive frame of mind.”

Jyana T.
“Jyana is a great choice to walk your dogs or just look after them. Her own dog is always beautifully maintained and well behaved, as well as spoiled and healthy. I trust her entirely with my difficult corgi who has reactivity towards dogs and men as well as typical corgi attitude problems. She also does very well with my cat and respects his boundaries but still loves up on him when he wants it. She is very responsible and reliable and has a great response time. She has had experience working at a vet and is studying animals. She is also very respectful and adaptable to any plans and communications.”

Jenifer G.
“I own two rabbits and Jenifer has helped to pet sit them on multiple occasions, we were very happy with her caregiving every time! One of the rabbits requires medication at certain times of day and Jenifer never had any issue with this and medicine was always administered properly. On every return the rabbits were always happy, healthy, and certainly cared for. Jenifer also assisted in house sitting on some of these occasions and kept everything neat and tidy while we were away. I would highly recommend Jenifer for any pet or house sitting services!”
