About: I have taken care of all different kinds of dogs from sizes and breeds since I was a kid. Throughout my life I’ve had several dogs all types of different breeds and sizes, from a mastiff to a miniature poodle. So, I have lots experience in dealing with dogs in different ranges with breed,size, and age. I also have experience with cats, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I am working full time currently, I am off on the weekends unless and normally completely free these days. I work during the day most days. I usually work evenings one day out of the week,tuesdays. I am very flexible outside of my time with work! I currently have a dog and 3 cats. With my dog we feed him in the morning and evening, throughout the day I usually play with my dog let him out to go potty, and a couple walks throughout the day to keep them moving. I also feed my cats morning and night and play with them throughout the day and clean their litter box in the evening.

About: I have extensive experience caring for a variety of pets, especially cats, and I bring a calm, attentive, and loving approach to every visit. From feeding and medication to playtime and companionship, I tailor each visit to meet the specific needs of every pet. As a lifelong animal lover and dedicated pet parent, I understand how important it is to maintain routines and create a stress, free environment while owners are away. Whether caring for energetic kittens, shy cats, or other small animals, I treat every pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because it aligns with what I already love doing, spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for, as well as caring for my three fur babies. I plan my schedule to allow plenty of time for visits, giving each pet the attention they need without feeling rushed. Whether it’s early morning feedings, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I enjoy building consistent routines that keep pets comfortable and owners reassured. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s part of how I live. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, aiming to keep everything as familiar and consistent as possible for the pet. I follow detailed instructions, give updates to the owner, and make sure each visit includes essentials like feeding, playtime, and litter or potty breaks. I also keep an eye out for any changes in behavior or health. Whether in my home or theirs, I treat every pet like family, with love, patience, and dependable care.

“Kimberly was so attentive to all of our dogs needs! She made sure they were safe, happy, & healthy. We have more high maintenance dogs and she was the perfect sitter for them. In addition to making sure our dogs were perfectly taken care of, she went above and beyond with house sitting too! My house is going to be sad I’m back because Kimberly took such great care of the house and garden! 🥰”


“Payton was wonderful with our Otis! We came home to a very happy pup who is usually depressed while we are gone. She sent lots of pictures and was very interactive with him, and we could tell that when we got home, he was very well fed and taken care of. We would recommend her anytime!”


About: I've raised pets (dogs and cats) for most of my adult life and would love to care for yours while you're away!

I've been away or on vacation and employed pet sitters in the past, and I know how reassuring that frequent communication is! I am retired and have no strict obligations that would keep me from sticking to any care schedule you need. Over the course of my work life, I've adapted to about every time and day schedule possible - weekends/late nights/early mornings are no problem! I have a reliable two-year old car, and am very experienced using any modern technology necessary if anything unexpected happened (Google Maps/Hailing an Uber/Anything smartphone related, etc) I understand how important it is to meet your expectations regarding the care of your animals and I will do whatever it takes, and I will treat your home with the utmost respect.

I now focus on training, pet sitting, and spending time with animals full-time. I train my Cane Corso in various dog sports using a fair and positive balanced training approach that builds trust, structure, and confidence. I also have chickens, a cat, and a snake — so I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets! Your animals will be safe, loved, and well-cared for with me. I treat every pet like my own and believe play and connection are just as important as routine care. Let me know how I can help! I care for my animals daily—feeding my chickens, handling my snake, and cuddling my cat. I train and do dog sports with my two dogs every day, keeping them active and happy outdoors. I bring the same love, routine, and attention to every pet I care for. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours.

I work remotely full time, so I can be available any time during the day for overnight petsitting! I can be available in the mornings or late afternoons/evenings for dog walks. I don’t offer overnight stays for pets in my home, but I have a lot of experience petsitting and housesitting for families when they are gone on trips!

About: I've had my own dogs since I was 4, so I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets, understanding their needs, and ensuring they're happy and healthy.

About: I’ve always been around pets since I was little, whether it be dogs, cats, etc. I know how to care for them.

Still on the market for a job, so I am available every day of the week as of right now. Once I get a job, my schedule will change. I have a lot of experience with oral medication and shots with my own pets, so If you need that as well it won’t be a problem. I’ve had to crate my dogs before so I could do the same with yours if needed. I like to walk my dogs a lot and be very active with them, so if that’s what you need then i’m your guy.

About: Hi, I’m Lemy — a lifelong dog lover and dedicated sitter who treats every pup like family. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child. Growing up, I was the go-to pet sitter for neighbors, friends, and family. Whether it was walking, feeding, playing, or just giving some extra cuddles, I was always happiest when I was around dogs. Over the years, that early experience grew into a deep understanding of dog behavior, needs, and personalities. I’ve looked after everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra care and patience. No matter the breed or temperament, I adjust to each dog’s unique routine and comfort level. Dog sitting isn’t just a job for me — it’s something I truly love. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet behind, which is why I make it my mission to give every dog the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. I offer a safe, clean, and cozy environment where your dog can feel right at home. With me, you can expect timely communication, daily photo/video updates, and complete peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in caring hands. Let’s make your pup’s tail wag with joy — I’d love to be their second best friend (after you, of course)! 🐶💛 My days and time that work best for me is Thursday-Saturday anytime. And Sunday-Wednesday 6:30 to 11 pm. Those are the best days and time for me but changes can be made Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, cozy space and follow your pet’s routine closely — from walks and meals to playtime and cuddles. I always stay attentive, keep you updated, and treat every dog like family. Your pup is in loving, reliable hands with me!

“We love Helene! Not only is she sweet and caring towards pets, she is also super knowledgeable about all animals. We hired Helene to watch our 10 year old ailing dog and she took great care of her. Helene is now our go to for dog sitting.”


About: Although I am a cat mom of two, I also have deep care and compassion for dogs of all kinds! Since I was 16 years old, I have volunteered on and off at my local humane society, giving care to all animals. Care including: ensuring all dishes and laundry are fresh and clean, cleaning cages, feeding, as well as giving love & attention to each cat and dog! I also have had the honor of caring after my neighbors dog for about a year. This care included: taking him on walks and playing with him every 2-3 hours, feeding him, as well as giving plenty of love and pets! I’m currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of quality time to spend with your furry friend! During the week/weekends, I do not have a set work schedule, however I am flexible to work around my start and end times! If needed, I am able to easily crate your dog, I am able to take any precautions of care, as well as take upon requests that your fur baby may need during his/her time with me.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was in middle school. My parents, neighbors, or friends have always reached out to me asking if I can take care of their dog or take them for a walk. My services include walks, feeding, stopping in and checking on them, and playing with them. I always ensure that the dog receives the right amount of time being walked or played with! My goal is to always ensure that the owners know that their dog is being well taken care of. I am currently a full time student at Ball State University. I am also an equipment manager for the football team as well. But during the week I tend to be very open around 2/3. On weekends especially Sunday’s I am very open as well. Whatever day of the week it is I will always try to be flexible! I currently live in a dorm on campus, so I will always have to come to the clients house. But if I am walking the dog then I will ensure that the dog is comfortable with me before taking it on a walk. I will want to create trust between the dog and I to make sure that it is safe. If I am dropping in for a visit then I will make sure the dog is also comfortable and safe.

About: I have been on Rover for over a year now, and I’ve taken care of a few dogs in different places! I’m a huge animal lover, and I also volunteer at a local animal shelter. I love to play with animals and love to exercise, so I’m looking forward to walking your dog! I work full time, but if I can make time to drop by to walk your dog or feed your pets, I absolutely will do so! 😊 I love to exercise and explore, so I would be willing to walk wherever you like to take your dog to walk normally! I am a dog lover so I love to play with them.
