“We have been using Zach to walk our dog for the past couple months. Very respectful, polite, and keeps me updated with all the bookings. Excellent at responding and extremely trustworthy. We will continue to book- very happy customers!! :)”


About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for all animals and attention to detail. I have experience administering medications and actually enjoy keeping litter boxes clean and fresh. I’m reliable, gentle, and passionate about creating a calm, cozy space where your pet feels completely safe and loved. I work full-time weekday mornings, but after 1pm I’m all yours for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pet! I’m available Monday through Friday afternoons and evenings—weekends are my time to recharge with my own fur babies. I’d love to help make your pet’s weekday routine extra special! Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I focus on keeping things calm, safe, and loving. I follow your routines closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or meds—and give your pet all the love and attention they’re used to. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re part of my own little fur family.

“Olivia had great communication and offered to help with short notice. It was so nice knowing we could leave for a long period of time and Baxter was taken care of! She took him for a walk and made sure he had fresh water after. Love all the pictures! I will definitely reach out to her again!”


“Ashley was great! She was able to fit Rhemi in for a walk the same day I booked! She kept me updated the whole time and was super easy to work with! I would definitely trust her with Rhemi care again!”


About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals for years ranging from puppies to senior dogs recovering from surgery and epileptic cats. I love cats and dogs but cannot host cats in my home sadly. I have two friendly yellow labs at home they are more than spoiled with long walks and anything they might need. As they can’t take care of themselves, they are always the first priority. I have a fenced yard and am very close to area parks. I also have two pups that are dog friendly, even when having to share the couch.

About: I've had pets all my life! I've also been involved in animal rescue and pet sitting for many years. From simple potty breaks to giving medication, I have experience with just about anything. I have a soft spot for senior pets, but I'm not picky! I even pet sat a pig once! Trusting your pets care to a stranger can be worrisome, I know from experience. My goal is to provide the care I'd want for my own animals. ❤️ My schedule is super flexible. I can make most days and times work. Advance notice is preferred, but I can usually help if something comes up on short notice! My goal has always been to keep my client's pets' routines as normal as possible. As a pet sitter and a Rover client, I'm able to see both sides. Being in rescue exposed me to animals with many different needs and personalities, giving me invaluable experience. I treat your pet and home like it's my own.

“I couldn't be happier with the care Ellen provides. From the moment I first met her, it was clear that Ellen possesses a genuine passion for animals, coupled with a highly professional and responsible approach to pet sitting. I especially appreciate the detailed updates she sends, which really put my mind at ease while away. Beyond the basic care, Ellen is also incredibly observant of pet behaviors and patterns in her updates. If you're looking for a pet sitter who is not only trustworthy and professional but also genuinely caring and intuitive with animals, look no further than Ellen. She treats our pets like her own, and I recommend her without hesitation.”

I took out groups of dogs (between 8-15) and monitored their play, stepping in when needed!

About: I have lived with and taken care of numerous animals in my life. Growing up on a farm gave me a love for animals and taught me how to properly care for them. I grew up living with cats, horses, dogs, etc. I currently have one cat named Blaze who is a part of the family. Due to Blaze being intolerant to dogs I will not be offering any in-home dog sitting services. I will be more than happy to take care of your family through drop-in playtime, walks, or overnight stays depending on your needs. I am currently enrolled at the local university pursuing a major in architecture. Through my career of personal aid visiting different families in need, I have become familiar with the neighborhoods around town as well as the parks you may want your pet to visit. I am looking forward to meeting you and your family. I currently work on the weekend, and I also attend college. This frees up a lot of my time during the week. I love helping out others and seeing the animals in our community. As mentioned I have one cat, he loves to engage in chase and will either chase me or a Lazer pointer. I will meet all of you requirements as well as provide cuddles and play.

Sydney S.
“From the very beginning, Sydney S. has had a natural, undeniable connection with animals—especially dogs. Having grown up with pets in her life since birth, caring for and understanding them has always come as second nature to her. Sydney doesn't just “watch” pets—she nurtures, comforts, and forms bonds with them in a way that is truly remarkable. Even as a young girl, Sydney’s compassion and maturity stood out. She became one of the youngest volunteers at the Aberdeen Area Humane Society, where her dedication and care earned her the well-deserved honor of Volunteer of the Month. Her commitment was not just about showing up—it was about showing up with her whole heart. In high school, Sydney rescued her first dog, a moment that spoke volumes about her courage, empathy, and unwavering belief that every animal deserves a safe, loving home. That spirit of kindness has continued to shine through in everything she does. Since junior high, Sydney has provided loving and reliable dog-sitting services for countless families. Whether it’s caring for elderly dogs with special needs or energetic puppies who need constant attention and affection, Sydney brings a deep sense of responsibility, patience, and joy to each pet she looks after. Pet owners trust her not only because she is dependable, but because she treats every animal as if it were her own. Sydney S. is more than a pet-sitter or animal lover—she is a true caregiver, advocate, and friend to animals. Anyone who places their pet in her care can rest easy knowing they are being loved and looked after by someone with a rare and genuine gift.”
