About: I’ve taken care of dogs/cats and many other animals old and young for most of my life. I have a very high passion for taking care of any animals! As an early graduate I have ample free time, so I will have plenty of time to love and care for your dogs/cats. I love going on walks and just sitting outside. So if your animal loves that I will gladly do that with them. If your animal loves to just chill and relax I love to do that as well. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I am also very good with reactive dogs/cats and know what to do in a situation if something were to happen. If your animal needs medication I can provide it with instructions! If your animal needs any special care or has any appointments I can care for them and take them to appointments.
“Samantha did a great job looking after both of my dogs and cat while I was away for a couple days! Both dogs seemed to love when she came over and played with them, and my shy kitty Luna even eventually trusted her enough to come up to her for pets herself! Samantha was very quick to respond to any messages/questions I would send, and she reallu seemed to like looking after my pets, I can't recommend her enough!”
“Presley did a great job sitting for our 3 aging dogs. She has great attention to detail and asked great questions when running through our pets’ routine and instructions. She’s reliable and great about sending visit updates and pictures. Would highly recommend and will definitely be utilizing her services again!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was little and have always been obsessed with them! I will treat your pup like my own and give them all of the love and care they deserve. I raised and trained my 1.5 year old pup and can carry on any training with your pup when they are here. I work a full-time remote job so I will be home all day to tend to your dogs needs. I have a 2 year old dog named Finley that I regularly walk before and after work, care for and make treat puzzles for during the day, and I have a very pet friendly home. I am flexible to carry out your dogs routine to make sure they feel right at home! I have a large fenced yard and my own dog to keep your pup company. I can crate your dog when needed or let them roam the house and make themselves comfortable. I always have all food and any hazards out of reach so the pups can’t get into any trouble!
“Fantastic dog sitter! Knowledgeable and very responsive. Handles my VERY excitable dogs easily. Asked questions I hadn't even thought of, which goes to show her professionalism. Will definitely rebook her in the future.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have helped friends by pet sitting, feeding, and walking their dogs. I’ve spent time with both energetic and more laid-back pets, and I enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Professional pet care is a new opportunity for me, and I’m bringing patience, gentleness, responsibility, and genuine care to every visit. Whether your pet wants playtime, exercise, or quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently have a flexible summer schedule and would love to help care for your pets. I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and can accommodate multiple daily visits. I believe great pet care starts with consistency and attention to detail. I follow instructions closely, keep pets safe, make sure they get plenty of care and attention, and communicate clearly with owners so they know their pets are in good hands.

“This is the second time that I have used Amber and couldn’t recommend her more! Wonderful at communicating and always sends pictures of my critters. I am able to relax knowing she is looking after my animals. Thanks Amber!!”
“Madeline was amazing!! You can tell as soon as you meet her she is kind and soft with animals and really was excited to watch my cat (Arrow). She gave detailed updates/pictures along the way and took great care of him. She followed my crazy cat schedule to the T, and everything was clean and accomplishment successfully. She even left me a little note and some stickers. Will definitely be booking again anytime I go out of town!”
“Elizabeth took great care of our Penny while we were away for the weekend. She was fantastic at using the app to send pics and provide details of what all Penny did at each drop in visit. She was on time for each drop in and loved on our sweet pup. Elizabeth really was helpful, patient, and kind. I’m grateful she was available on short notice, and I will use her again!! Highly recommend!”
“Kaylyn is such a nice person and took great care of our 4 dogs doing drop-in visits during a 10-day vacation. She regularly sent updates and photos and kept us informed if anything seemed different than the norm. Highly recommend her for pet sitting and we’ll definitely utilize her services again!”
About: Every pet is unique, and I take pride in providing care that fits their individual needs. Whether your pet is high-energy, anxious, has behavioral challenges, or requires medication, I have the experience to handle it with patience and confidence. With over 7 years of experience in veterinary hospitals, I’m comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of medical and behavioral needs. I also grew up showing cattle and horses, so animals have always been a central part of my life. My goal is simple: to provide safe, compassionate, and reliable care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and strive to give them the attention, comfort, and care they deserve. I am currently working full time at the Veterinary Health Center at K-State so I do not have time during the weekdays during normal working hours but I would love to be there for you after work, walks in the mornings, or during your weekend get-a-way. Unfortunately I cannot have pets at my house but I would love to come and watch your pet/s to keep them happy in their own home with the surroundings they are used to!
“Brandy did three drop-in visits for my two dogs and went well above what was requested! I was thrilled with the care she gave my pups and me. She sent daily pics to me while I was out of town and even played fetch with my german shepherd even though I told her she didn't need to. My animals were well taken care of and I had peace of mind that they were safe and comfortable at home while I couldn't be there. Thanks again Brandy! I will definitely recommend and use again when needed.”
Manhattan dog parents share their Rover experiences
We were first timers using Rover and Sophia was great! She is very kind and easy to work with! She checked in on our dog a couple of times and I can tell our dog looked happy and content with her! I definitely recommend Sophia and will definitely be using her again in the future :)
Erika was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond what was requested and always kept n touch during and in between each visit! I fully recommend her and will definitely book with her again if she’s available in the future. Thanks for taking care of Buddi!
Presley did a great job sitting for our 3 aging dogs. She has great attention to detail and asked great questions when running through our pets’ routine and instructions. She’s reliable and great about sending visit updates and pictures. Would highly recommend and will definitely be utilizing her services again!
She took such great care of my hamster while I was away and made me feel completely at ease. I could tell she genuinely paid close attention and made sure everything was safe and comfortable. I was in a unique situation where my home needed to be kept clean and presentable for showings while I was gone, and she handled that so thoughtfully. I really appreciated how attentive and considerate she was with my space. Since hamsters have different needs compared to other pets, I also appreciated how open and willing she was to learn and adapt. She handled everything responsibly and with care. Overall, I had a very positive experience and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter.

Ruby did a great job, she took care of my animals really well. The only thing I could say is, she does feel a bit robotic at times when conversing compared to other sitters I’ve had. (she might be a shy person I’m not sure) besides that she asked questions if things arise contacts you if there are concerns that regard you pet. You can tell she puts a lot of effort into taking care of animals so I’m thankful.
Cheryl is very educated with pets. I am impressed with her knowledge and eagerness to adapt to my style of caring for my recent rescue, Stitch. My pup loved her right away, and had no issues on the first drop in and walk. Super cute pictures during her stay! Thanks so much.
