About: I have been a pet sitter for my friends and family for as long as I can remember and I am ready to branch out professionally. I’m a work from home medical engineer and can provide high quality services with a flexible schedule. Since I work from home my schedule is very flexible, especially in the afternoons. I can also do in-home long term pet sitting as I can be anywhere for work. I have a lovely small home in a rural part of town. Perfect for small dogs and cats, with no other pets on the property.
“Kimberly has gone above and beyond this week for me and my pup. My pup has been having some stomach issues and Kimberly gave me multiple suggestions to try before going to the vet and spending all the money on a visit. On top of that she gave me something of hers that she uses on her dogs to help them. She truly is an amazing person who loves your dog like her own. I cannot say enough positives about Kimberly.”
“Maria is an amazing dog walker! She was incredibly helpful when I was sick, even coming on late notice to make sure my dog got the walks he needed. She’s responsible, communicative, and truly cares about the pets she works with. I’m so grateful for her help and highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals of all kinds since I was 8 years old—everything from energetic dogs to independent (or extra-needy!) cats. Having grown up with pets my whole life, I truly see them as family. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, or just a comforting presence while you’re away, I’ll be there with patience, love, and reliability. Their happiness, comfort, and safety are always my top priority. While I currently work full time, I’m available most weekends for your quick getaways, as well as weekday evenings to care for your fur babies. Whether it’s a weekend stay or a drop-in visit after work, I’m here to help give you peace of mind while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping your pets comfortable and your home respected. I follow your instructions closely,whether it’s feeding schedules, walk routines, medication, or playtime—so your pet’s day feels as normal and stress-free as possible.

About: I’ve previously worked in two separate boarding kennels over the last 3 years, applying care to all sorts of breeds, sizes, and ages! I’ve also fed, bathed, and cared for my own dogs all my life. I am currently working overnight at a skilled nursing facility, this ensures that I will have all the time that your pet deserves during the day to spend with them! I can easily adapt to any environment. Within your home I will respect the way you have things set up and I will be sure to follow any requests you have!
About: I have had a dog my whole entire life! From a chocolate lab, then a golden retriever, to a multipoo. I was always in charge of walking the dog every day when I got home and feeding them. I house sit for family, my friends, and my parents friends! I could be there from one day or night to a week! When I was about 16 years old, my neighbors asked me to walk their dogs also! My schedule is open! I have a 1 year old daughter who i’m at home with every day!! So taking care of any animal will work any time of the day! I have trained many puppies with sitting, using the bathroom and much more! This is only if the clients have asked me to help out! With both small, big, old or young dogs, I always make sure they are well groomed, loved and always use the bathroom. You don't need them to use the bathroom in your home!
About: I've had many pets, and so far have taken care of two dogs. I'm good with feeding on time and potty breaks, along with plenty of playtime and exercise. I watched a family friend's dogs (two) and house sat for 2 weeks when they went on a trip to Europe.

I can fo basic grooming and bathing This would technically be my job, so I am available whenever for the most part! I fo have occasional doctor's visits and physical therapy due to a surgery I had, but I can be there pretty much whenever I'm needed! I make sure to know house rules before I do anything. I like to make sure I follow the routine the animals are used to as close as possible. I typically feed my dog at the same time every day, make sure she's played with and taken out every other hour. Fresh water is always set out and refilled. She knows basic commands, so I try to do leash training for 20ish minutes whenever I can. With cats, I like to free feed throughout the day, have a cat fountain with fresh water, and plenty of play time to help stimulate. I'm very attentive to when an animal needs something
“Jalisa was very helpful with my dog. I was in town for work and she walked my dog each day and made sure she had something to drink at the end of the walk. She provided pictures and updates throughout their time together. She was willing to meet me on the day that I arrived in town so my dog would be familiar with her on the next day when she would have to get her without me being home. She was accommodating although it was a last minute booking. I would definitely use her again.”

About: I do not have a lot of experience with dogs. I can take dogs on walks and I think dogs are cute, but I am mostly a cat sitter I am a recent college graduate looking for a job, so I have a lot of time on my hands to meet some cool cats I will only be visiting clients' homes. I cannot have other cats over for catsitting as I have roommates with other pets in the house.

“Meghan is a great dog/cat sitter. She loves to be around animals and makes sure they are well cared for. She is especially fond of cats, like a cat whisperer, knowing what they want and how to play with them. She is also very good with dogs and takes care of our special dog - Swiffer- whenever we need to leave for a day or a longer trip. I would highly recommend you rely on Meghan for your cat/dog sitting needs.”

Breanna T.
“Bre has a pleasant personality. My dogs immediately took to her during the meet and greet. She came and communicated as anticipated. We had a positive experience”
Colleen L.
“Colleen is one of my favorite people for more reasons than I can possibly count, but hands down, one of the qualities I admire most about her is her love for animals (and children and life). She is a pet parent with no equal; she's fiercely protective, deeply compassionate and caring, hyper-vigilant, and most importantly, she treats her own pets, and will treat your pet, as family; there is no person who I trust more with my own pet. Choosing Colleen is no different than choosing yourself; she's an extension of you when you can't be there. In my opinion, it's an easy decision, nothing and no one else compares. Hire Colleen as your primary Rover caregiver! PS: You and your pet will assuredly make a new friend. She's the best!”
Alexis A.
“Alexis is an experienced care giver to dogs. She has worked with a few Kennels and in a Doggie Daycare setting. Alexis has experience walking dogs of all sizes and caring for their needs. Open communication is Alexis's top goal to establish with the dog's parent and to be a trustworthy, kind hearted person to be in the company of their dog.”
Skylar H.
“Great person and great service! She made sure my dog was taken care of and made sure he had everything he needed! She also even cleaned up everything for us, without even asking which was great!”

“Gemma has always had a special connection with animals, who seem comfortable and confident around her. She is loving and perceptive of individual pet needs while being very responsible, organized, and meticulous in everything she does. Gemma is also a student-athlete, so no pet is too large or too energetic. She has cared for several pets over the years, raised our 9-year-old dog from a puppy, helped take care of a neighbor's elderly/special needs dogs, and even goes out of her way to care for local wild animals (from frogs and birds to foxes and deer). Gemma is reliable and honest and often goes above and beyond what is required. You can rest easy knowing that your pet will be in great hands and is certain to have a lot of fun with their new friend.”

“Jessica was fantastic with my dog, Cinder. From the moment we dropped her off I felt a sense of ease with Jessica. I knew my girl was in good hands! While away she sent me updates and pics almost daily we were able to have a great time knowing she was being taking care of. Our flights were canceled due to weather on the way home and we had to pick Cinder up a day later than we had planned. Jessica was so caring and understanding! When I picked my pup up she was happy and had clearly been extremely well taken care of. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Cinder for us Jessica!!”
Jordan G.
“Jordan is a responsible and loving pet caregiver. Jordan has a cat, Casper, that they have had since Casper was 8 weeks old. He is very high maintenance being a Sphynx breed and Jordan takes care of all of his needs, including weekly baths and special feedings for previous kidney issues. Jordan also fostered kittens. Jordan was very attentive to the kittens and kept in touch with the animal shelter when necessary. When the kittens appeared ill, Jordan called the shelter immediately and brought them to the shelter for care. Jordan has cat sat (staying in the home) for a professor at their college over a spring break. He was very pleased with Jordan's care of his cat and his home. Jordan has also done drop in visits to feed and play with cats of friends who were away. All were happy with Jordan's care of their cats. Jordan also worked at the Appalachian Animal Rescue Center in NC last summer feeding and caring for the variety of animals that come into the rescue. Jordan cares deeply for animals whether they be tamed pets or wild. :-)”
