About: Having shared my home with every kind of pet since I was a child, I bring a deep, intuitive understanding to pet care that goes beyond the basics. This extensive experience has given me a special skill for navigating the unique challenges of both ends of the spectrum: I excel at the positive reinforcement needed for training energetic puppies and have the gentle, patient touch required to provide comfort and specialized care for senior pets. When you entrust me with your furry family member, you're choosing a sitter who offers not just reliability, but a genuine, experienced friendship for your pet I have the wonderful luxury of a completely open schedule, which allows me to make pet care my top priority. This means your pet gets my undivided attention, and I can be there for them consistently throughout the day, every day. My approach to in-home pet care is to provide seamless, consistent care while maintaining your pet's normal routine. I minimize their stress by keeping them in their familiar environment. If needed to stay in your own home. If they were to come to my home: I have 3 young kids, however if necessary to be away from kids we could do in your home. When pets stay with me, they become part of my family. My home is a safe, loving, and pet-centric environment where they receive constant attention.
“Cynthia treated my kitty like her own baby and sent me regular updates with plenty of pictures. She spent lots of time playing with him so that he wouldn't feel lonely while I was gone. She was very easy to work with and I didn't worry about him at all.”
“Colleen was great with our two dogs, Brodie and Sara. She came over prior to the trip and met both dogs and reviewed our wishes in detail. She was prompt each day and we received a report on each visit to include a picture of both dogs. When we arrived home Brodie and Sara were happy and playful unlike when we pick them up from the kennel and they look emotionally and physically beat down. We will be using Rover and Colleen for our future needs.”

About: I have several clients and I love watching other people pets while they are away, and want to make sure your pet still gets love I love to send updates, and pictures so you know how your sweet babies are doing and so I can keep you in the know. Your babies will be in great hands and I will give them lots of love while you are gone. I do work Full Time for the Rocket City Trash Pandas as their Merchandise Coordinator I will walk them, give them lots of cuddles and love, and they can even sleep in the bed with me if you allow it
“I felt so at ease knowing Theresa was taking care of our cat! She did such a great job of sending us pictures and adding updates each time she went. I also really appreciate that she spends the full half hour at the home, so we k ow the cat is getting attention and snuggles. We will for sure continue to use her services!”

About: I grew up with my family dog (mini schnauzer) and now have an orange tabby cat of my own. I’ve pet sat for several lovable pets through the years and am always excited to have the opportunity to meet and take care of dogs and cats alike! I’m currently in between jobs, so I have lots of time to care for pets and help with other household tasks that might be needed. When caring for pets in someone’s home, I follow all necessary instructions on meeting all of their needs. I focus on safety and comfort, as I do with my own pets.
“Leah was a lifesaver for us when we needed to go out of town! She responded quickly and made sure she understood all our instructions for our cat and dog. We always worry when leaving our overly excited labrador because he can bombard people when they come in but she handled it perfectly! We're so thankful for her help!”

“I could not have asked for better care for my cat while I was gone. Juyne took great care of him and communicated so well that I never had to wonder about the big fluffball. Thank you so much to you both, Juyne!”

“Austin was great at the meet and greet. He took notes and ask good questions. He has performed several drop ins and is learning how to work with my dogs. They can be difficult because they are afraid of new people but he is patient with them. We really appreciate his time and effort.”


About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs in both group and individual settings. I regularly cared for up to 7 dogs at one home, managing feeding schedules, outdoor time, and making sure each dog got attention and proper care. I also have experience with overnight pet sitting, ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, as well as taking dogs on walks and keeping them active. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs, routines, and personality, and I always prioritize their safety and well-being I currently work and babysit, but I maintain a flexible schedule and can adjust my availability as needed. I’m able to plan ahead and make time for pet care, including walks, drop-ins, and over nights as needed! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any special needs to ensure they feel secure and cared for. I create a calm, clean, and safe environment, and I’m attentive during walks and visits to prevent any sticky situations. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), and preferred routines. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect—just like they’re my own.
“Cortney is so great. She was so nice when I met her and I completely trust her to come let my Ripley out when I am at work. I will absolutely be using her from here on out. Thanks Cortney!!”

About: I have a Bichon/ Shi tzu who I love and is like a child to me. Let me know if it isn’t okay to bring him around your pets and it isn’t a problem at all. I am excited to meet more pets . I’d love to work with your pets and look forward to meeting every one. I'm currently doing this as part time for myself to make a little extra cash. My main availability will be during the weekends and for drop ins during the week if available. I currently live with a roommate but they will not mind if I took in a pet for care. Currently, I typically help care for my friends pets if they are out of town but have no issue helping others.
About: I’ve cared for all sorts of animals in my 40 years, from my own pets to fostering dozens of dogs from local shelters, nurturing them until they find their furever homes. I’ve decided to share my passion for caring for animals by helping pets and their owners feel at ease while they’re away. I’m transparent, dependable, and treat every pet like family. I have a large fenced in yard, Furbo pet cameras, and use AirTags for collars for extra peace of mind. I have two friendly dogs, and two sweet cats. I’m home full time to provide walks, playtime, and potty breaks. My goal is to keep your dog’s routine as similar to home as possible, feeding, sleeping, potty, and exercise. I have found this creates the most comfortable and familiar environment for them while you are away. I accept no more than 4 small/medium rover dogs at a time. I can also care for larger poodles and doodles. I am home full time. I’m home full time while my husband Paul works during the day. I have 3 college age children who are home for the summer, they share their love and beds with dogs. Pets in my care enjoy a safe, loving, and structured environment. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of grass, a doggie door for easy access, and Furbo cameras when I leave the house. I use removable AirTags on collars for extra peace of mind. I have fostered and cared for dozens of animals from shelters, so I can easily adapt to all types of personalities and situations. I will go the extra mile to make them feel comfortable, like sleeping situations and even hand feeding picky eaters. Dogs are fed in separate quarters so they don’t eat each others food.
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I was a pet sitter via word of mouth in Florida but I just moved here so I'm trying to find new clients! I’ve cared for a variety of pets, from exotics (chinchillas, ferrets, squirrels, opossums, etc) to reptiles, rodents, dogs, and cats. I fostered exotics for three years before college and have cared for many animals with special medical needs as well. I am constantly around animals and love spending time getting to know their personalities and mannerisms. I am comfortable around all dogs or cats and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your baby! When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them like I love my own corgi, Winston. If they're social, I'd love to take them to the dog park or on long walks. I work in an office but my schedule is extremely flexible, allowing me to work from home on days I'm pet sitting. I am available for drops in or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings as needed. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I primarily work from home (remote) so I have a lot of time to help a busy pet owner out. I really enjoy meeting new animals and providing a space that’s comfortable for them. Since I stopped fostering, I only have a corgi who is completely friendly. If your pet requires full attention (or doesn’t like other dogs) my boyfriend can care for him :) I walk my dog everyday, usually for an hour to two hours aside from potty walks. I am able to provide medications, fulfill specific diet instructions and pet sit for as long as you’d like!
Madison dog parents share their Rover experiences
Katrina is simply the best! I’m always going to worry a little when I’m away, but I know Murphy is in good hands with Katrina. She provides detailed updates & great photos. She is proactive if there is any concern. She consistently goes the extra mile. She is fantastic!

Emily was great! She cared and loved on our dogs during a quick, unexpected trip. Emily gave us a peace of mind while we were away, kept us updated at every visit, and sent us pictures of our fur babies. We will absolutely use her for our pet sitter again if she will have us. Thank you Emily!!

Tyler goes above and beyond and really helped my pup when I left for a long business trip after a recent move. My dog was having a hard time adjusting and me leaving didn’t help. Tyler was patient with him and got him to cheer back up to his normal self. It really eased my worry! Highly recommend! Very kind and professional.
