“Great experience!! Would book with Jess again!”
“I text Liam a day before to see if he was available to walk Lola the next day. He promptly replied a yes and asked me information about Lola. Liam walked my dog yesterday and will walk her today. Liam is very reliable and trustworthy.”
“Jaylene came the day after our meet and greet to walk our dog Remi! She was easy to communicate with to make plans and schedule. Jaylene took her time to win over Remi, who can be a little shy and skeptical upon meeting someone new. They went for a walk and Jaylene updated me with everything Remi did. Remi and I look forward to our next booking with Jaylene!”
“Julie is fantastic! Such a relief to find someone who takes just as good of care of my baby when I’m gone. Punctual for his walks every week, sends pictures of what they’re up to, and I trust her care with him 100%. My dog loves Julie and is excited to see her every time she stops in! If you don’t trust me, trust him!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 14, giving me over 16 years of experience working with pets of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog needing special care, I’m here to ensure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved. I’m comfortable handling dietary restrictions, administering medications, and tailoring care to meet each dog’s unique needs. Your pet’s well-being is my priority, and I’ll treat them like one of my own. I am currently working part-time/freelance, so I balance pet care with my daily routine. I’ll keep my calendar up to date to ensure you know my availability. I’m flexible and can adapt to your pet’s needs, whether it’s a daily walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care. You can count on me to provide consistent, attentive care while making sure your pet gets all the love and attention they deserve. When dogsitting in your home, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for your pet. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and adhere to any special care instructions, whether that’s administering medication or accommodating dietary needs. I’ll also make sure to keep your home safe by keeping a close eye on your pet, supervising them during walks and playtime, and ensuring that everything is secure. You can trust that your pet is in good hands!
About: I am a dog mom currently without a dog. I lost my soul dog, Bogart, in 2023 after having him from 10 weeks old to just shy of his 14th birthday. He was so spoiled, everyone we know can confirm. During his last few years, he suffered from a collapsed trachea so we went through many health phases. He lived three years past when the vet said we would probably lose him. I feel that’s due to my love and care. I’m also the person at friends and family’s houses that their pets flock too. Dogs, and even cats, just know I’m an animal lover. I would love to love on your furry child. I’m currently a self employed cake baker and decorator with lots of time on my hands. I may even bring some fresh baked doggy treats for your pet, assuming you’re ok with it. My dog Bogart used to love his peanut butter, banana, and pumpkin treats. I’m willing to do whatever works for your pet and your home. I’m used to crate training but if you need a stay over night visit, I’m fine with your dog sleeping in bed if that’s what they are used to. I’m there to keep them company, keep them safe and keep them loved.
About: I have had lots of felines through the years and really love taking care of them. I also love playing with dogs and taking them for long walks. They have lots of energy and love exploring as much as I do. 🐕 I have lots of time to care for and play with your felines, dogs and birds. It is the best time of the year to get outside and explore the area with dogs. We start the day by taking a walk and eating breakfast. Follow the pet's usual walking route unless otherwise instructed. I allow the dog to explore and sniff within safe limits. I provide exercise tailored to the dog's age, breed, and health. I avoid interactions with unknown dogs and people to prevent any potential conflicts.
About: My family and I are animal lovers! We have one dog of our own who we love and care for and she LOVES to play with other doggie friends! I have dog sat for about 15+ years for personal friends and family as well as many dogs here on Rover. All of our children love dogs and we create a loving and caring family environment. We have a large backyard in a family oriented town. Our yard is not fenced, but there is plenty of room for dogs we watch to run around and play. My children take part in caring for the dogs we sit and like to give them lots of extra hugs and love. We also enjoy going on lots of walks! We can’t wait to give your dog a warm, friendly home away from home! I am work from home, so I am available to be present for your dog. He/she will have someone around almost at all times. If we have to run out for anything, if your dog does not chew and is trained, he/she can have run of our home. We have one very friendly dog to keep yours company. I have plenty of room in the house for a crate if necessary. If medications are necessary, I am able to administer that. Our yard is not fenced, however we have a long lead where he/she can have plenty of room to run around. Our family will be present at all times when your dog is outside.
About: I love animals and have owned and cared for dogs and cats. I would love to love your dog in my home. It’s a safe place. I currently work part time and my office is 2 miles from home.

“Jennifer is a lifelong pet and animal rights lover. Her devotion to her own dog Bogart was that of a loving mother. At the many times when she cared for my beloved pet dog, I had full confidence that Lucky could not be in the hands of a more caring person. I highly recommend her to care for the pets of your clients.”

“I use Sharon for our dog Zoey all the time. She takes her on long, lively walks where Zoey gets exercise and fresh air.

She is very reliable and always shows as scheduled. I have also used Sharon for dog sitting services when I travel for business. Her rates are reasonable and she follows my directions precisely. She also sends me plenty of photos so I know Zoey is in good hands while I am away. Thank you Sharon for treating my pet like she was your own!”

“Kristin was the perfect fit for my dog Buddy. They have such a loving and peaceful home that Buddy (who is prone to hyper behavior) was actually so comfortable and calm just being there! Kristin is such a dog lover and I feel so comfortable having her take care of Buddy whether it be day care or overnight stays. Buddy was very clean, well fed and super happy after his visit, and I know he's excited to go back! I highly recommend Kristin to be the one to take care of your dog. Thank you Kristin for being such a great dog sitter! -Joy & Buddy”
12. Marilyn H.
“Our two boys (a german shepherd and a golden retriever) absolutely love Marilyn. We were away for ten worry-free days knowing that they were in good hands being well loved and well taken care of. Even now, when we walk the boys pass Marilyn's house, they'd often pull us close and sniff if she's home. Marilyn is the best. Our doggos say so.”
13. Idaly H.
“Idaly is one of the best pet caregivers. She has taken care of my dog and has loved and cared for him when I was away for vacation. She’s a really good person and really loves dogs and cats.
