5. Ashlynn C.

“I cannot over-state how wonderful Ashlynn is! I was anxious about leaving my puppy (Hudson) for the first time, as he's working through separation anxiety and training. She stayed at my home for three nights, provided exceptional care and support to Hudson, and kept in regular contact with me. Hudson had a blast! She took him on many walks, introduced him to more of the neighborhood, and did great with his training and manners. She also took great care of my home. Thank you Ashlynn!”

“Nikki was amazing with our dog. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. She came out twice to meet our dog before she stayed with him and was very patient. While her stay with Jack, Nikki texted often with pics and videos of Jack and what they were up to. We felt very much at peace about leaving Jack with Nikki. She is very open and responds to any communication promptly. She also left the house in perfect order and even washed the sheets and made our bed, which was a bonus as we got home late. If you would like a caring dog sitter, look no further!”

13. Katie R.

“Katie was truly amazing and a life savor for our pups! We traveled to Italy for 15 days in total and had her stay with our fur babies the whole time! Safe to say they were in wonderful hands! She took them for nice walks around the neighborhood, got the pool out for our black lab to play in, cuddled and loved them just like my husband and I would! We usually are always so worried about our dogs and constantly ask for updates but that didn’t happen with this trip, it was truly relaxing and reassuring that they were so loved and so well taken care of!! I would 100% recommend Katie to anyone and everyone! Thank you again Katie!”


14. Alexis S.
“Alexis is the prefect person for this job. She loves animals and does a great job of taking care of them. I had her watch my cat while my family went out of town and we had no problems at all. I would definitely recommend Alexis to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”

About: I am new to Rover but have tons of experience otherwise. I have been watching the same golden retriever and his cat brothers for the past 5 years. Every colleague comes to me with their pet sitting needs. I am great at walking dogs and taking them out to poop and I can also give your cat some excellent tips on taking over the world (no additional charges applied). I can't wait to get to know your cool cats and kittens and doggies and hamsters etc!!! ♡ I work during the day Mon - Fri but will be able to care for and entertain your pet(s) in the morning before work and the mid afternoon til the rest of the night and all day on the weekends. I live in an apartment building that is very close to downtown and a nearby park so it's convenient for walks and day adventures with your fur baby.


16. Liv T.

“Liv was an excellent pet sitter! We have an epileptic dog that needs meds and Liv was able to administer with no problem! We also have two cats, one of which never comes out from hiding around new people. This time she did and Liv sent pictures of our cat snuggling with her! Liv clearly has a passion for animals and animals can sense that!”

About: Hi! I'm a passionate animal lover with 2 years of experience caring for dogs and a deep commitment to their happiness and well-being. I’m in the process of learning dog training, which allows me to better understand and connect with your furry babies. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or simply spending quality time with your pup, I treat every dog as if they were my own—offering love, kindness, and plenty of pet hugs. I can’t wait to meet your dog and help them feel happy and loved while you’re away! Caring for animals is a natural part of my day. When I get home from work, the first thing I do is feed my two cats and spend time with them, ensuring they feel loved and cared for. Soon, pet care will become an even bigger part of my daily life as I begin training animals as part of my schooling. This growing commitment reflects my passion for animals and my dedication to their well-being. Whether it’s feeding, playing, or simply being there for them, caring for pets is something I truly enjoy and prioritize every day. When I visit or pet sit in your home, your furry baby will be cared for as if they were my own. I’ll make sure they’re fed on time, given plenty of attention, and kept comfortable in their familiar environment. We’ll enjoy playtime tailored to their personality, whether it’s a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or simply cuddling and keeping them company. For walks, I’ll ensure they get the exercise and fresh air they need while keeping their safety a top priority. My goal is to create a loving and stress-free experience for your pet while you’re away!

About: I have in depth hands on experience with a variety of animals. I worked in pet care for a major chain pet store, caring for birds, small animals, fish, reptiles & amphibians. I spent a short time there as a dog trainer as well. I spent several years riding horses. I have personally owned my dog for all 13 years of her life, a big cat we adopted a few years ago, and a red factor sun conure, two frogs, and most recently a bearded dragon. I have personally owned rats many times, previously owned turtles & mice. I'm even somewhat familiar with chickens and ducks. With an elderly dog, I'm used to frequently taking her out to use the bathroom, and utilizing pee-pads and dog diapers. I'm familiar with puppy potty training as well. I'm a SAHM currently, so my schedule for pet care is pretty flexible! I'm hoping to make pet care something I do full-time, so I'm especially interested in folks who are looking for someone to come by regularly, but I'm very open and flexible schedule wise right now! ** I have a toddler, so let me know if your pet is not kid friendly** - PLEASE let me know when you request if you are still looking for other sitters. I have clients who might also like the dates you are requesting, and have many "our friend's daughter said she would do it", which is fine, just let me know you're still shopping around. Thanks. I currently only offer services where I would come to your home. I'm absolutely open to answering any questions clients might have to make you feel at ease with a stranger in your home. I know how important it is that your pets recieve care on the same level you provide it, and sticking to a routine they know, especially with a new care giver, to reduce their stress and keep them happy and healthy. You will recieve as many pictures and updates as you like! Never feel like your *bothering* me when you ask for additional pictures, updates, or information while I'm caring for your pet.

About: I have always loved animals since I was little! I was the little girl to see a stray dog or cat and take them home with me every time. I have taken care of all different breeds of dogs from small to large. Friends, Family, and co workers have relied on me to feed, walk, and house sit for them. I currently have a very flexible job that allows me to work from home and create my own schedule. I will always make time and work with you to get your fur babies taken care of. My goal is to always make your fur babies feel comfortable and safe with me! I always want them to see me and get excited! I have two dogs of my own. A small 15 pound dog and then a large 100 pound dog. One of them uses a crate and one does not so I am very familiar with both and can crate your dogs if that is what is preferred!
