“Donna was very trustworthy in her drop in visits with my very shy and reticent cat. Not only did she make sure the food was replenished and the box was cleaned, she made an effort to engage with the cat. By the end of the 4 day assignment, Miss Kitty was beginning to make contact -- quite amazing. Thanks, Donna.”
“Autumn fed & walked our pup while we were skiing. Really liked all the photos she sent during her time with Bodhi, and that she met with me the day before to go over everything since this was our first time hiring Autumn. Bodhi really liked Autumn—she even left him a toy and a treat! We look forward to having her sit for Bodhi again in the future!”

“Madison is great! Very trustworthy and my 20 year old cat always seems in good spirits when I get home. She delivers his medicine twice daily as prescribed and stays in touch while I'm gone. Recommend her highly.”

“Responsive and accommodating to scheduling time slots for drop ins and itinerary of what to do while visiting. Jack seemed very relaxed and happy when we returned having gotten lots of great care and attention while we were gone.”

“Emerson was so phenomenal with our kitties — they loved her and we had peace of mind knowing they were getting lots of playtime and love while we were away. She was so attentive and communicative, and she would be a wonderful presence for anyone’s fur babies. 10/10 would recommend and book again!”


About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have always had pets as part of my family, so caring for them comes naturally to me. Over the years, I've gained hands-on experience raising and training reactive dogs, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, reading body language, and creating a calm, positive environment. I'm comfortable adapting to each pet's unique personality and needs, whether they love adventure, prefer a quiet routine, or need a little extra understanding. When your pet is in my care, you can feel confident they're being treated like one of my own. I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness while following your instructions and routines closely. I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you always know how they're doing. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and last-minute bookings whenever possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I currently offer drop-in visits and dog walks, allowing your pet to stay in the familiar environment of their own home while maintaining their normal routine. During every visit, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, meals (if requested), and lots of care and affection. I currently do not offer pet boarding or doggy daycare because I have a reactive dog at home, and I want to ensure the safest and least stressful experience for all pets involved. You can count on me to treat your home with respect, follow your care instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so you have peace of mind while you're away.
“She gets along great with the cats, even our grumpy one Perry came out towards the end. She was prompt and understanding even when I botched the schedule. Will book again!”

About: Hi, I’m Alexys! I’m a registered nurse with a deep love for animals and a strong commitment to providing attentive, compassionate care. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I currently have three dogs—Envy, our Great Dane; Jasper, a red heeler/Great Pyrenees mix; and Hank, a chihuahua mix—so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. My experience with a variety of breeds allows me to adapt to each dog’s unique needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, or simply companionship, I’m happy to provide a safe, loving environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, attention, and care. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring sitter—or even a friendly playmate for your dog—I would love to help! My schedule is relatively open, I am flexible to find a way to help you and your pet! I am frequently walking my pets and happy to have your pet tag along with our pack! If your dog fits in well with our dogs I am happy to have them over for a play date during the day, we do not have a fenced yard.
About: Hi there! 👋 We’re a pet loving couple with a full house of furry (and scaly!) family members! 3 adorable fur babes and 2 reptiles. Our home is spacious with a secure gated yard, perfect for playtime and safe outdoor fun. We know how much pets mean to their families, so when you’re away, we’ll make sure your little ones get the same love, care, and attention they’d receive from you. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, or playtime, we’ll treat them like part of our pack. 💕 We can’t wait to meet your pets and give them a second home while you’re away! 🐾 We both work hybrid, and our offices are just a few minutes from home. That means your pets will rarely be left alone and will always have plenty of love, care, and attention throughout the day. We’re available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays after 2 PM, your pets’ comfort and happiness are always our top priority! 🐾 We have a big fenced yard where your pup can freely safely play, and a one sweet and very friendly dog and two cuddly cats to keep your pup company.
About: I grew up working on a farm! Not only am I familiar with training puppies and caring for cats, I also know my way around a barn. I have time in the early mornings and evenings to visit your pets! I am also able to house sit and provide daily exercise to any extent you need! I love to go on walks and adventuring in parks. But I also love just sitting on the couch with a dog or cat :) I am flexible and ready to meet whatever your pet needs!
About: I’ve taken care of my boyfriends dog for the last several years, providing walks, baths, and routine feeding with medication. My boyfriend would be working with me to help take care of the dogs and ensure frequent potty breaks, walks and love. I’m currently working a job where I can work remotely as needed. My boyfriend also has the same work situation so we would be able to trade on and off to ensure plenty of time and care for your pup! We love to keep dogs busy with lots of love, attention, and walks. We also enjoy hikes on the weekend which is perfect for dogs that need a lot of activity. I’m currently working a job where I can work remotely as needed. My boyfriend also has the same work situation so we would be able to trade on and off to ensure full time and care for your pup! We make sure our home is clean and rid of any harmful chemicals or objects. We keep the yard nicely trimmed and clean. We buy new toys regularly to keep our pups entertained. We try to play tug of war as often as possible. We have a great neighborhood to walk dogs along with several local trails.
About: Experience with reactive dogs, large dogs, and dogs working on training programs. Positive reinforcement and prioritizing the comfort of the dogs in my care is a MUST. My schedule allows for ample flexibility to meet your needs! Early morning feedings are never a problem for this early riser, and frequent potty break needs are never a worry! I have a service dog who typically accompanies me in all that I do and he loves to play with new friends, though I do have some capacity to leave him in the event of reactive pups on my schedule! I also have a fenced yard if your dog needs space to run in a safe and controlled environment.

About: What sets me apart is the way I approach every dog as an individual. I understand that every pet has their own personality, comfort level, routine, and preferences, so I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to care. Whether your dog is playful and energetic, shy and reserved, or happiest relaxing with someone nearby, I take the time to earn their trust and provide care that helps them feel secure and understood. As a lifelong dog owner, I've learned that patience, consistency, and attentiveness make all the difference. I'm observant, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether we're playing in the yard, going for a walk, practicing good manners, or simply relaxing together. My goal is to provide the same level of care, respect, and affection that I would want for my own dog, giving both pets and their owners peace of mind. Having raised and trained two dogs throughout my life, I'm comfortable caring for dogs at every stage of life. I understand that puppies require patience, structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement as they learn routines, build confidence, and burn off their energy. I'm happy to reinforce house-training, practice basic commands, maintain feeding schedules, and provide plenty of supervised play and enrichment. I'm equally experienced with senior dogs. My own dog, Peggy, is a sweet 14-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer–Retriever mix, so I'm familiar with the extra patience, gentleness, and attentiveness older dogs often need. Whether that means slower walks, administering routines as directed, monitoring mobility, or simply providing a calm, comfortable environment, I adapt my care to each dog's individual needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, supported, and loved while giving owners confidence that their companion is receiving thoughtful, reliable, and personalized care. Pet care is naturally built into my daily routine. I'm currently on summer break while preparing for student teaching, and I work remotely, which allows me to be home and available throughout the day. Each morning starts with feeding our dog and making sure the doggy door is open so they can comfortably go outside as needed. Throughout the day, I monitor, play with, and walk our dog based on their needs, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. My weekly routine is much the same. Unless I have plans made in advance, I spend most of my time working from home and caring for our dog, with only occasional errands. My partner works during the day and is home around 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, with weekends off, providing additional support. When student teaching begins, my weekday schedule will change somewhat, but I will continue to prioritize dependable, attentive care and ensure pets receive the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide attentive, patient, and compassionate care while taking the time to understand each dog's unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or taking them on walks, I prioritize positive interactions, close supervision, and clear communication with owners so everyone feels comfortable and confident. My home is a one-bedroom house with a large, fully fenced yard that offers plenty of space for dogs to explore, play, and exercise safely. The yard can be divided into a smaller enclosed area or opened to provide access to the entire lot, allowing me to adjust the space based on each dog's energy level, comfort, and the day's circumstances. All perimeter gates are equipped with secure locking mechanisms to help prevent dogs from opening them, providing an extra layer of safety. If your dog is crate-trained or requires a crate for their routine, I have space to comfortably accommodate their crate and am happy to crate them as directed. I also share my home with my 14-year-old dog, who has a calm, gentle temperament and is friendly with other dogs. Their quiet nature helps create a relaxed environment for visiting pets. For walks, I use secure leash handling, stay aware of our surroundings, and tailor each walk to your dog's age, personality, and energy level. Whether your dog enjoys an active outing or a slower-paced stroll, they'll receive patient, reliable, and personalized care with their safety and well-being always coming first.
About: I've watched cared and watched dogs & pets of friend's, family's, coworker's, & even a wrong number for 15 years. I feel keeping animals in their homes and where they are comfortable when owners are away is important. As an animal lover I enjoy being able to give love and attention to as many animals I can since I am not able to have one or more of my own at this moment. I enjoy being outside and getting some exercise and would love to have a fur companion join me! I love to go hiking and would provide forest frollics for your dog! My schedule at the moment is extremely flexible. I am available to hang out with your pets all day if needed to ensure they keep their routine and have a stress free stay. I would treat your home like I was a guest there and make sure the pets routine is kept the entirety of my stay. Making sure your house is clean and tidy before your return.

About: I have experience with all kinds of dogs: big, small, shy or rambunctious! I currently work at a dog boarding facility, and also volunteer at the humane society. I also have a family dog who is now a senior I currently am working morning shifts but am available most days after 2pm! I am also completely free on thursdays and Fridays. I am not opposed to early or late night walks or potty breaks I live an apartment and would not be able to board another pet in my home, but would be more than happy to watch your pet in theirs!

About: Hi my name is Ella! I'm a college student and aspiring veterinarian with a passion for caring for animals, and hands-on experience working with animals of all kinds. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and no matter what that is, I am happy to provide the care they need. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering basic medications if needed, and taking care of larger animals. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I'm available to care for your pets any time, any day of the week throughout August and into late September! Whether you need a last-minute sitter or are planning ahead, I'd love to help. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to follow your pet's routine, and I'll carefully follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions. I'll treat your pet like one of my own and make sure you receive regular updates while you're away.

About: I've had dogs in my family since I was a baby; I grew up around them and my love for them grew. I care deeply for my own dogs, and I'm always excited to meet a new four legged friend. I regularly petsit for my family, a multitude of dogs, cats, and aquatic creatures. My schedule is currently very flexible; I make time for a walk and training my own dog every day and I sometimes bring him with me when running errands. I love snuggling and hanging out with all kinds of pets, letting them get comfortable with me in their space and touching them at their own pace.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. As of 2026, I recently lost my dog Lily, and about a year and a half ago I lost Hayzel, who was my soul dog. Hayzel was 11 and Lily was 13, both pitbulls that I trained myself. They were truly the best dogs I could have ever asked for. I’ve also worked professionally in pet sitting, dog walking, and dog training for several years. Hayzel and Lily actually assisted me in working with other dogs, especially those with anxiety, which gave me a deep understanding of behavior, energy, and trust. I’ve been in the holistic health field for over 20 years, and that naturally extended into working with animals alongside humans. I now work in nervous system integration, photography, and coaching, and I bring that same grounded, calm presence into how I care for dogs. I work especially well with large breeds, but I’m always happy to spend time with smaller dogs as well. I’m also the kind of person who will stop to help a loose dog find its owner—I actually did that today as I’m writing this. I live a quiet, clean, minimalist, and sober lifestyle. While I’ve spent a lot of time alone in recent years, my dogs were my constant companions for over 13 years. After losing Lily, I realized just how special that connection is. I’m not quite ready for my next dog yet, but being around them still feels deeply important to me. I care for every dog with attention, presence, and respect for who they are, not just what they need. The pictures I included are images throughout the years with my dogs. It was a bit hard to go through them, but oh am I happy that I found them. My main role at this time is photography and I set my own schedule. I tend to only work 4 hours a day and when my shoots might extend longer on certain days, I am easily able to fit in visits for those pets that need outdoor time a little quicker than others. I care for pets by paying close attention to their individual needs, routine, and energy. In a client’s home, I aim to keep everything as consistent and familiar as possible so your dog feels comfortable while you’re away. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions closely, while also making sure they’re getting real attention and presence, not just a quick check-in. I bring a calm, grounded energy and take the time to build trust, especially with dogs who may have anxiety or need a slower approach. I’ve worked with a wide range of temperaments, including high-energy and more sensitive dogs, and I adjust my care based on what each dog responds to best. If they’re playful, I’m all in!! I will absolutely play like a kid with them and let them get it out. If they’re cuddlers, they’re going to get a level of cuddling that might rival what they’re used to 😅 I genuinely enjoy being with them and meeting them exactly where they are. I also understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I’ve been on that side of it, and I’m very mindful because of it. I’m conscious of where and how I eat so nothing is left out for them to get into, I make sure doors are always secure, and I keep a constant awareness of their safety and environment. I’m very respectful of your home and space. I keep things clean, communicate clearly, and will send updates so you know how your dog is doing. My goal is for you to feel at ease knowing your pet is being genuinely cared for while you’re away. If I’m doing drop-ins or walks, I make sure your dog gets quality interaction, not just the basics. Whether that’s playtime, a relaxed walk, or simply being present with them.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
