“Lindsay is warm, thorough and as loving as can be with my two large and mischievous dogs. I am always anxious about having walkers/sitters for my pups b/c they're a lot to handle, but after meeting Linsday and having her care for them, I feel very lucky to have stumbled upon her profile on Rover. Also, she's extremely professional and goes above and beyond. I feel a sense of relief just knowing that she's nearby to assist in a pinch. Thank You Lindsay!”


“We cannot say enough positive things about Roman! He is incredibly kind and responsive- We needed help with our senior yellow lab and had some unique needs for our pup and family while we were in the hospital with a newborn - Roman went above and beyond with kindness and flexibility to help our family in a crazy time, and was a true life saver! His love of animals is clear - we would recommend him to anyone and will absolutely ask for his help next time we need it.”


“Lisa Erin is lovely and kind and great with our dog. She was flexible and was not afraid of rain. Most impressive- she asked to meet our dog first to be sure it was a good fit. Great pick”



“Venetia showed up on time (a little early even to get the lowdown on my dog!) and helped burn some puppy energy! She took my 1 year old dog on a nice nature walk with beautiful pics :-) She was very patient with some naughty behaviors we're working on (jumping!) and her calm demeanor put my boy at ease to go off with a stranger. She responded promptly to my requests and was VERY thorough with getting all of Reshi's information. Will be using her services again soon and would def recommend Venetia for your pets needs :-)”


About: I have been a pet lover & pet care advocate for as long as I can remember! I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities my entire life. I’ve had pups, taken care & rescued cats, & cared for pets like bunnies & hamsters. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and love their pets like my own which I do with a smile. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs to play & burn off some energy, or a sweet senior pup who needs extra patience and care, I adapt to their unique needs and personalities. I’m not just a sitter, i’m an emotional support human & a dependable companion for your pet while you’re away. I believe in consistent communication, lots of love, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. I love & care for them as if they were my own. I’m experienced with administering medications, sticking to routines, and keeping pets calm and comfortable in their own environment. Your comfort, peace of mind, & your pet’s happiness are my top priority! As someone who works from home and takes online classes, my schedule is super flexible—perfect for giving your pet the attention they deserve! I’m home throughout the day, which means your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, or just some company while they nap, I can be there when they need it most. My routine allows me to be fully present and responsive to your pet’s needs. I can stick to their feeding and walking schedule, provide consistent companionship, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. Being home all day also makes me a great fit for puppies, senior pets, or dogs who need a little extra TLC. When I care for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your pet’s routine closely & I make sure they’re comfortable in their space, following their usual schedule for walks, meals, playtime, and cuddles. Whether it’s sticking to their favorite walking route or knowing exactly how they like their food prepared, I pay close attention to every detail you share. I know how much the little details matter! Being in their own environment helps your pet feel more relaxed, and I’m there to make sure they feel loved every step of the way. I’m experienced in administering a variety of medications, including flea and tick ointments, oral chewy meds, and pills; whether they’re hidden in a treat or given directly. I stay calm and patient to make the process as stress-free as possible. I’m comfortable managing multiple pets and giving each one the attention and care they need. I treat your home with the same respect and care I give to your pet: clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. I provide regular updates with messages & photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands & know everything is going smoothly while you’re away.

About: I’ve been a pet owner for 11 years. I work as a vet assistant. I am trained to read an animals body language and look for signs of distress. I am a very patient, caring, compassionate and empathetic individual. I genuinely enjoy meeting and caring for all types of animals, and I look forward to caring for yours! (: I do work full time, but otherwise I have open availability. I am willing to work around my schedule to help meet your needs (: I feed them, clean up after them, give them medication if needed, bathe them, walk them as often as needed. If your animal is on a schedule of any kind, it will be cared for accordingly.

About: We have a 3+ acres fully fenced yard space. There is a tangiable metal mesh and wood, reinforced, fence AND a tandem electric fence that we can train your pet to if requested. Double saftey set up so that our own animals, and yours, can run free on the sprawling yard and play in various bushy "jungle gyms" :) We are experienced in caring many breeds, ages, needs, and types of animals. Open to any and all! Animals are our passion and we can take any situation and care request in stride, because we get it and have been there! I can fit my schedule around your pets needs! No seriously, self employed and fully flexible. Our own animals are never alone more than 5 hours at a time and more often I am home all day. With advance request I can provide 24/7 care for young or high need pets. Animals come first in our home, always <3 We have a large property with 3 acres fully fenced in for our own dogs. Their personal dog park and playground! They can enter and exit at will; yours too if appropriate. We can also have eyes on them at all times depending on your pets needs. Inside they have free run of couches and dog beds. We have a side by side queen bed sleeping arrangement so everyone can pile in. If needed, we also have a spare room that can serve as a private space if your pet is overwhelmed and I can personally cuddle them while our own crew hangs with my hubby. We have several animal care professionals we work with closely. Including emergency vet services, terriers, groomers, and more. We understand what it takes to trust your fur baby to someone else! It's one of our own biggest hurdles and anxieties when we travel. You can be assured that your pet will be given the care and attention they need to feel safe and loved, on they same level we shower or own fur babies <3

Kirsten & Mark O.
“Kirsten O. Has the greatest asset for caring for animals - she knows and understands how important they are in our lives. She is also a responsible adult, follows directions and keeps in touch as necessary for our comfort level to keep pets close when we have to be far away. I know this from personal experience. Recently life circumstances dictated a sudden change in my life and the lives of my menagerie of two horses, two dogs and four cats. We were able to move the entire herd for the winter with the exception of one cat. Kirsten O. Stepped up and cared for him for three weeks until we could return to collect him. I am forever grateful that she is in my life. And so is Grampy, the cat!! She is excellent with dogs from small to large, has a good work ethic and takes pet responsibility seriously. Thank you, Kirsten O for a job well done and hope it helps with your Rover career!”

“Communications with Amy were fantastic and she won my shy pup over. She sent pictures and additional notes which were most appreciated.”


Michelle M.
“Michelle took amazing care of our pets — Marlo, Mika, Gaia, and Mila — while we were away. She provided walking, feeding, and overnight care, and we couldn’t have asked for a more professional and attentive caregiver. From the start, Michelle was communicative and informative, keeping us updated and ensuring we felt confident that our pets were in good hands. Her calm and friendly demeanor made it clear she genuinely cared about our animals’ well-being. We came home to happy pets and a tidy home. We’re so grateful for her help and would highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate pet care.”


Gillian B.
“Gillian would be a great pet sitter and/or walker. She has great experience in pet sitting to include staying at our home so as not to leave the dogs alone for extended time. She was great with our older dog, who has some health issues. She is loving and caring and has such a calm demeanor when around pets (and people) that she would be a great fit for anyone looking for a trusted person to take care of their cherished pets!”
