“Donna is amazing! She played with Sunny and sent us cute funny pictures 📸 She made me feel comfortable knowing that my dog was in such good hands. She's very knowledgeable and very patient. We are totally booking her again! Thank you Donna, you're the best!”


“Consistently amazing! I’ve hired her multiple times to take care of my floof. She is so good with my cute and anxious cat and always has great communication with me during the time she’s caring for my kitty.”


About: I love all dogs! They are all so funny, each with their own fun personalities. I love to go for walks with the dogs, sometimes 2 at a time! When your pup is in my care my focus is on keeping them safe and happy! I am retired from working so I like to say that I am a stay at home dog Mom! When I am watching your dog, there is nothing more important to me than your fur baby’s safety and happiness. Since I am home full time I am available for your pup 24/7! I do occasionally leave the house but usually not longer than an hour or two. I have a large fenced in yard and a sweet, fun 2 year old Lab mix who loves to play with dogs of all ages and sizes. I have a 5 month old grand puppy and Reba loves playing with her!

“Sharon was great!! She came for a meet and greet with very short notice a few days before our planned visit and was very flexible with timing. On the day of her drop in, she let me know when she arrived at the house and sent me a picture of Audrey right away. Very very happy!!”

About: I have taken care of pets all my life from dogs to cats to bunnies to snakes and bearded dragons. Myself and my husband Steve would work together in caring for your fur babies. I work as a nurse and I work mostly weekends and my husband is home all weekend. We used to foster puppies for various shelters but decided to take a break for the summer and are looking to make your dogs feel at home. We can only take in dog friendly and kid friendly dogs as we also have 2 dogs and a 3 year old. We have a fenced in yard and go on frequent walks and would love for our dog Remy to have another friend to play with! I work mostly weekends and my husband is home all weekend so your fur babies won’t be alone. We also have 2 children that love to help with the dogs. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs. My one dog, Remy, is high energy and loves to play. My other dog, Shiba, is old and just sleeps all day so Remy would love to have a playmate. We do not crate our dogs but can crate yours if that’s what your dog is used to.

“We needed a dog sitter for our two golden retrievers while our daughter was getting married. We chose Jess. Jess listened to all our requirements and assured us that Gracie and Remy would be cared for, played with and would be exhausted that day. She was right. We loved the pictures she sent us of them having a good time. In fact, although I came home early from the wedding, Jess pulled in right after me and the dogs went to her. We will definitely use Jess next time.”


About: New to Rover but not new to pet-sitting. I have had pets or been around animals my entire life (including puppies, dogs, kittens, cats, fish, rabbits, and birds) and they have always been considered a part of the family. I love every pet as if they’re my own- prepare for the custody battle 😅. lol jk. In all seriousness, your pets comfort is important to me and I am confident they will feel right at home. I have experience with puppies and all the beautiful challenges that come with that stage, as well as senior care. I have also had experience with adopting my own dog with reactive tendencies which has made me hyper aware of the importance of dogs social cues both with animals and people, and reading their body language/boundaries. Safety for all parties involved is always my top priority. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. Walks availability: Anytime Sun-Tues, (Wed-Sat hours fluctuate, will need to discuss exact needs.) Doggy daycare availability: Anytime Sun-Sat (if pick-up/drop-off needed will need to discuss availability in more depth.) Boarding availability: Anytime Sun-Sat (if pick-up/drop-off needed will need to discuss availability in more depth.) I currently have boarding slots set up to 4 at a time but feel free to contact me regarding specific availability needs. For example, does your pet require an environment without other animals? Do you have 2 dogs but 3 cats? Based on your pets specific needs, we can discuss alternate solutions. I do require meet & greets for any new clients to ensure it’s a good fit and safety requirements are met for all. We can discuss what works best for your pet. As long as animal is house broken and properly trained, I am flexible with crate/uncrated visits/boarding. My apartment complex is dog friendly but unfenced so would require on leash walks. Property also includes fenced in dog area, or I am open to dog park runs if that is your preference. If scheduling crated boarding, will need to provide own crate.

About: I’ve been a dog owner most of my life, beginning when I was just a child. We had our boy Ozzy, a beautiful yellow lab, for 14 unforgettable years. Once we got over his passing early in 2024, we adopted a beautiful, spunky little guy named Koa! He’s a lab/terrier mix and currently about 10 months old. I am his primary caregiver while my wife is at work, and we are what I like to say ‘best buds 4 life!’ :). I am also deeply committed to learning how to train him, and in the process have learned a ton about the training side of things. He was a bit wild when we got him at 7 months old and we paid a professional to teach us how to train him. So I am certainly no stranger to spunky, high-energy dogs! When our boy Ozzy was getting up in age, he unfortunately started dealing with anxiety, confusion, and bowel problems. I am definitely sympathetic and more than qualified to deal with older dogs too. Taking care of our boy Koa is actually my full-time gig right now, so my daily schedule is mostly open. As I get more clients I suspect that could change but for now I’m very available. This includes most weekends and holidays too. I am well-versed in dog walking and/or sitting. For boarding, we have a nice big fenced-in yard that’s secure. Lots of toys and balls. :).

About: I have a lot of experience with dogs and only a few with cats but i love both and i am very excited to spend some time with your pets! Available all business days before 10am and after 2:30! If you have something outside of that, let me know and I can try and figure something out! I typically can’t care for pets in my home because I dorm at Eastern University, but in your home, my priority would be the animals well being and also your homes cleanliness.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child, so friends and family ask me to play with and walk their dogs often! I love dogs of all sizes and ages :) I work full time, but partially remote. So I’m typically available Monday/Wednesday/Friday as well as weekends! Some weeks differ, but I am available throughout the day for quick walks and visits and then before 9am or after 5:30pm. I am available for walks, visits, play time or anything you need! I can play fetch, give belly rubs, feed, or just care for your animals however they need :)

About: I have many years of experience caring for cats and dogs, I grew up with 3 dogs and 2 cats, and I have 5 years of experience dealing with cats with Feline Diabetes. I have 4 cats that I love and care for every day, they are my whole world! I am available on nights, weekends, and holidays. In my clients home, I would get to know the animals first and make them feel comfortable with me, and make sure I listen carefully to the clients instructions on how to care for the pet(s).

“Anthony and Melanie are great they take great care of my service dog who just went threw surgery. They are on time and take amazing care of my dog and treat her like their own.”


About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand the special bond between dogs and their owners, and I’m committed to providing your dog with the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime in the yard, or snuggle sessions on the couch, I focus on keeping your dog happy, healthy, and well-cared for. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and breeds, and I tailor my care to meet each dog’s unique energy level and needs. From feeding routines to maintaining training consistency, I ensure your dog feels secure and comfortable in your absence. With me, your dog will enjoy the care and companionship they need, so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands! As a hairstylist with a flexible schedule, I have the perfect balance of availability and passion for animals to provide exceptional care for your pets. I offer pet sitting services right in the comfort of your home, ensuring your pets feel safe, relaxed, and well-cared for in their familiar environment. Whether you’re away for a short trip or a longer vacation, I can take care of your pet’s daily needs—feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications, and of course, lots of love and attention. I understand how important it is for pets to stay in their own space, and I’ll keep their routine consistent to minimize stress. From checking in on them during the day to overnight stays, I can provide the care your pet needs while you’re away, all without them having to leave home!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs and fish ever since I was 10 years old. I grew up surrounded by animals and I currently have 3 cats and one English bulldog who I love very much. I have experience fostering cats and dogs and have been a pet sitter for friends, family and neighbors for years. I’m a college student home for the summer so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet!! I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time for your pet! I am extremely flexible and willing to fit your pet into my daily schedule. I treat my pets like family and will do the same for yours. I am extremely responsible, dependable and I am very respectful of other people’s homes.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little! I grew up with a golden retriever named Emma. Now, I have 2 pups of my own! Maggie (11 y/o, terroir mix, adopted) & Molly (2 y/o, teddy bear mix, bought). I trained Molly in puppy school & did in home training between both pups in order for them to get along! I’m currently in school & working part time. I have random open periods during the day that can be used to take care of your pups! Please message me for more details about availability. No fenced yard; however, I have very long leashes & heavy duty poles that screw into the ground outside so that my pups can run freely without a fence. I also live next to a nice park with some fenced dog parks! The park also includes multiple trails, including paved and nature trails. Due to owning an adopted dog with past abuse and anxiety (which is now well controlled by training and overall healing in a loving and safe environment like my own) I do not offer in home care just in case my adopted pup is startled by the presence of another dog. Because of this, I am willing to travel for pup sitting and services!

“Kelly is the cat whisperer (for dogs too!!) My 7 month of age ‘Cornish Rex” Luna loved Kelly for knowing everything about kitten/cat life. She provided play time, kitty meal time, along width affection. And during Luna rest time her liter boxes and dishes were cleaned. Kelly also advised me regarding a skin care question I had about Luna too. She is very professional, reliable and experienced with dog/puppy care too. I highly recommend her with confidence.”
