Caitlin did a great job watching Simba while we were away. She sent me pics and took great care of him. She even gave him walks which he loves even through he sniffs more than he walks. Thank you Caitlin for making Simba feel comfortable when we were away. I would recommend Caitlin!!

Judith did an excellent job! So nice to go on vacation and not have to worry about whether my fur babies are being cared for properly. My dogs loved her! Will definitely use her in the future.

Took great care of our aging senior dog while we were out of town. Great communication and photo updates throughout our time away. House was clean and spotless when we came back - she even brought all of our packages and mail into the house for us!

Great sitter - highly recommended. He was easy to talk to and easy to work with, and I could tell that he genuinely loves animals. My pets seemed to love him too. I got a lot of photo updates while we were gone, and my animals were happy and relaxed when we got home. We don't travel often, but David will be our first call next time we need someone to watch our little pack.

Friendly and so kind to our fur babies, sending us lots of updates throughout our trip. Brenda was flexible with our unique home sitting situation this time too with some home construction being completed during her time and we couldn't be more thankful!

Ashley was great! My pup quickly bonded with her and I felt comfortable going out of town with her watching him. She sent me pictures so I could see how he was doing and she even shared a pizza with him (one of his favorite things). I will definitely be using Ashley’s services again!

About: I have taken care of dogs for a long time, and have taken care of pets for friends and family for 10+ years. I love how different every dog is, and getting to understand how to take their individual needs into account. I do my best to adapt my schedule around the needs of the animals I care for, and currently have a lot of time available to walk, feed, and play with pets in my care. I prefer to have clear instructions when it comes to pet care, and try to keep the care I provide as similar to the care they already receive as possible.

About: As a dedicated dog lover and proud owner of two golden retrievers, I understand that every dog is family. My experience caring for my own pups has given me firsthand knowledge of everything from puppy energy to the gentle needs of senior dogs. I provide patient, loving care tailored to each dog’s personality, age, and routine. Whether it’s keeping your energetic pup entertained or giving extra attention to older dogs, I treat every dog like my own—with love, consistency, and a whole lot of belly rubs. I’m a college student studying early education at the Ohio State. I have a pretty flexible schedule with my classes but would love to try to accommodate your pups needs. While I prefer daytime care, I can also accommodate overnight stays with advance notice. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I’m excited to give your dog the attention, playtime, and love they deserve! While I don’t offer in-home boarding, I’m happy to care for your dog in the comfort of your own home. I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, and I’ll treat your home and your dog with the utmost respect and care. My own dogs are protective, so I don’t offer playdates, but I’m more than happy to take your pup on walks, to the park, or to any favorite spots they enjoy. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities.

About: What sets me apart is heart-led care—personalized attention, reliable routines, and genuine love that makes every pet feel safe, happy, and at home. Rest assured your pet gets everything they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and individualized attention, ensuring each pet receives consistent care, supervision, and affection throughout the day. I offer a large, fully fenced backyard for plenty of safe roaming, a calm pet-only home with no other free roaming animals or children, and a clean, non-smoking environment.

About: I have a pup of my own! I have worked at a boarding/daycare facility, feeding, letting out, and bathing dogs of all breeds and sizes, with the occasional cat, bunny, lizard, and even a parrot! I have also worked as a dog walker and sitter for a company in Kansas City, the best job i've ever had, but unfortunately had to move back home to Montana. My schedule included 30 minute walks, driving pups to dog parks and watching them play, staying overnight at clients' houses to care for their dogs (and sometimes cats) while they were away, and falling in love with all the pups that I was working with! I am currently available anytime I am needed! I'm very flexible and will be able to accommodate your requests, as I would like this to be a full time job!! I will treat your pet as if they were my own, lots of love and affection, as well as the high pitched voice they all love so much! I can follow your requests for their care, send lots of pictures and pupdates, and for walks, I will let you know when I arrive, and I have an app that shows where we walked and the exact time that I spent with your pup that I will screenshot and send to you at the end with the pupdate! My pupdates usually include whether they went potty or not, some little anecdotes from our time together, and lots of cute emojis🐾

About: I have always grown up and cared for a pet my whole life. I will take care of yours like my own. I know how nervous I would be to leave my cats with a stranger. I’m here to calm your nerves and make your fur babies feel the love I have for all animals. I’ll exceed your expectations every time! I currently work at a pain clinic Monday-Thursday. I leave around 7:30 and don’t get back home till around 5:30/6:00 normally, but it can get a little later sometimes. I will leave your home just as you left it so you never knew I was there! Your babies will be happy to see you and you will be happy to see them and your clean house!

About: I don't remember a time in my life when I wasn't surrounded with pets and animals. I grew up with three cats and a dog, had a few gerbals and hermit crabs, helped raise pythons, and get to enjoy dog kisses and and snuggles whenever I want from relative's pets. My grandparents live on a farm and love to help any of creatures us grandkids find. Animals are my passion! As a young entrepreneur trying to take my life and schedule into my own hands, Rover is the perfect way for pet owners to get thorough, compassionate care for their loved fur babies as well as help me attain more clients and doggo kisses for my already established pet sitting services. Looking forward to meeting and working with you!

Caitlin was our first dog sitter. We’ve never used rover before. She’s was super helpful and flexible on times to watch our dog. She made it super easy and we didn’t have to worry really at all while we were away. Will definitely be getting in contact with Caitlin for future sitting dates!
