“This was the second time Joshua sat for us, and once again, he went above and beyond. He sent videos and pics throughout the day every day. He walked our babies every day and even went back to check on them when we had a flight delay. I don't worry about our home or our babies when he is looking after them. Do not hesitate to book him. He is amazing!!”
About: I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care. That’s why I treat every animal with the same love and respect I’d give my own. I have two of my own pups! and I always adapt to their individual needs. I’m patient, gentle, and never in a rush. Your dog’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. I have a flexible schedule and can usually accommodate same-day bookings or last-minute requests. Whether you need a regular walker or occasional drop-ins, I’ll do my best to work around your need just send me a message! I totally get how important it is to know your pet is safe and in good hands. I always do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, calm, and cared for whether we’re out on a walk or just hanging out during a drop-in. I’ll follow whatever routine you give me, keep a close eye on them, and treat them like one of my own.

She trained Ellie while also showing her lots of love and affection. We are so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our girl. Thank you, Kat!”
About: I own my own work from home business and have the freedom to set my own schedule and care for pets as needed. Flexibility is important in a sitter. I can accommodate most requests if given at least a day’s notice. Please reach out if you have any questions or would like to talk further. I do not offer care in my home as I am limited on space and have my own pets. I will take excellent care of your pets and make sure they need for nothing.
About: I'm definitely an animal magnet...I love being around animals. I will love and spoil them as if they are my own furbabies! They will never be left alone. I'm very flexible with my schedule. There are days when I'm unavailable but I'm usually available most of the time. I can do weekends, too. My front and backyard are fenced and I do have a rail in the backyard for older dogs to walk down to go potty. I can definitely play with them while outside or even give them lots of cuddles!
“Breanna was amazing! Excellent communication, very helpful and super nice. I am very picky about who watches my dogs, I would absolutely call upon her again. Thanks Breanna!”
About: *MEET & GREET IS REQUIRED FOR FIRST TIME BOOKERS WITH Me* I have been working in the field as a vet assistant for almost 4 years now. I have immensely enjoyed caring for animals, and would love to continue that even outside of work. Both cats and dogs are welcomed; I do have 2 cats of my own. I grew up surrounded by cats, so I would say I have that feline touch. I understand that cats have vastly different personalities and may not want to be touched or played with. But if your cat happens to love playing and being petted, then I will happily meet those needs. I believe that open communication and transparency is important, so you’ll receive regular updates on your pets well-being while you’re away. I am skilled at administering oral medications and even subcutaneous injections, if needed. As well as caring for special needs and or elderly pets. I am trained in understanding body language and how to recognize signs of illness in pets. I am mostly available for walks, drop-ins, and house sittings. I have a part time job, and I am a student, so I will update my calendar regularly to reflect my availability to properly care for your pet. The safety of your pet is important to me and is a task I take very seriously. Your pet is in safe hands with me.
“Ashlyn did a great job and took good care of my babies. She sent a few updates and was very consistent. I would recommend”
About: Dogs have always been in my life. Friends and family have always relied on me to take care of their furry friends while they are away on vacation. I have also been entrusted with several senior dogs who needed extra care which required me to administer medication at specific times of the day. I am currently not work or in school for the summer. This allows me to be fully present to take care of your furry friends. I would care for my clients pets according to how they already live. I like there to be little to no changes as it is more beneficial for the pets and to not add any unnecessary stress.
“Sidney was absolutely amazing!! It was our first time using Rover and she put us at ease the moment we met for a little meet-and-greet with our crew. She sent videos and pictures everyday which we absolutely loved. We had two dogs and a cat, all with their own special quirks, and Sidney was so great with all three. Our vacation was stress-free knowing she was there and she left the house in perfect order for when we returned. We can’t recommend her enough (in fact, we bragged about her to the family our entire trip 😂) and will absolutely be booking her again.”

About: I cared for my dog Angel for over 16 years. The last year of her life was more difficult, so I am familiar with and comfortable caring for senior dogs and their extra needs. I have also dog/cat-sat for many friends over the years, so I am comfortable with multiple-pet homes and all breeds. I really love animals and one thing I can guarantee (and proof is in my photo gallery!) is that yours will get lots of love, snuggles, and attention from me during my care :-) Rover is currently my only employment, and I stay at home most of the week, so I have plenty of availability to care for your pets! I have a fenced yard, and pets are welcome to roam the backyard and house, but I also have a large crate if crate training is needed. I currently have no other pets in the home.
About: Hi there 🫶🏼 my name is Gennacy! About myself ~ I am a HUGE animal lover some may even call me a animal princess 👑 I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid for my family and friends so I'm very familiar in the animal world. I’m a Certified VA and just want to help. I don’t just take care of dogs and cats I also care for exotic animals too 😉💗 I have a lot of time on my hands for my furry friends 🤗. I’m a student in College so I am currently free weekly from anytime after 12pm, and weekends available anytime. I have a fenced backyard with a security system.

About: Hi, I’m Dominie! I work from home and provide loving, attentive care for your dog in a calm, comfortable environment. My pet care journey began with two amazing dogs—Lucky (a Lab) and Mills (a pug-chihuahua mix)—whom I cared for daily over 3 years. From walks to meals, playtime to cuddles, I became part of their world and realized how much I truly enjoy caring for animals. What sets me apart is the level of personalized care I provide. I work from home, so your dog will never be left alone for long periods. I accept one booking at a time, which means your pet gets my full attention, affection, and supervision. Plus, I keep you updated with photos and notes, so you always know how your pup is doing. Pet care fits really well into my daily schedule since I work from home. I have the flexibility to take pets out for walks, play, or potty breaks throughout the day. I have a gated front yard that’s great for safe, supervised outdoor time. A typical day looks like: 🐾Morning walks around 7am to start the day with energy and excitement. 🐾Potty breaks every 2 hours. 🐾Midday play sessions during my work breaks (I’m always up for a game of fetch!) 🐾Evening walks around 6pm to wind down the day. 🐾Plenty of snuggles, affection, and supervision. Whether your 🐶 is playful or prefers a chill day indoors, I adapt to their needs and comfort level. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away.

“I can’t recommend my mom enough as a dog sitter. She has a natural way with animals—kind, gentle, and incredibly attentive. I’ve grown up with pets my entire life because of her, and she’s the one who taught me how to care for them with love, patience, and respect. Whether it was dogs, cats, or even the occasional rescue, she made sure every animal in our home was not only cared for but truly loved. She’s also one of the cleanest and most organized people I know, which makes a big difference when someone is trusting you with their home and their pets. She pays attention to every detail—making sure dogs are fed on time, walked regularly, and given plenty of affection and playtime. She treats every pet like they’re part of the family, because to her, they are. If you're looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and experienced to care for your dog, my mom is the perfect choice. Your pup will be in the best hands.”

They love when she comes to watch them as she gives them lots of snuggles and playtime. She is also very responsible with feeding and any medications needs - as well as firm with executing any behavior instructions (sit, stay, down, no jumping). She is extremely trustworthy and reliable and my go-to whenever I need someone to take care of my fur-babies.”
