“Kallie K is spectacular! She went above and beyond for my fur baby, River - especially during the recent thunderstorms. She understood that if River didn't like fireworks, she probably didn't like thunderstorms and proceeded to stay with River through some of the worst during her time. My fur baby is very people shy, but Kallie was able to break through her shell. Her frequent updates and pictures made me feel like she was part of the family now. I wish I could afford to just put her on retainer! I really giver her 10 stars!”
“Jan is reliable and very caring with our special needs elder fur baby. She made it easy for us to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that he was fully taken care of. Well definitely recommend and will use her in the future!”
About: What sets me apart is the combination of a genuinely flexible schedule, a safe fenced home environment, and two friendly resident dogs who help new pets settle in quickly and feel less anxious. I'm patient and attentive with dogs of all ages and energy levels—comfortable with the extra patience senior dogs often need (mobility, medication reminders, gentler walks) as well as the consistency and structure young or newly-trained pups thrive on. I treat every pet like my own, prioritize their normal routine, and communicate closely with owners throughout their stay. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I have a flexible schedule. I build my days around consistent feeding times, walks, and playtime, so your pet gets reliable attention whenever they need it—morning, midday, or evening. My home has a fenced yard and two friendly dogs for safe, supervised play. I closely monitor interactions, follow your pet's routine, and can crate them if needed for comfort.
“Philana is a true professional while also being very personable. She took great care of my 3 cats, plants, and was considerate in brining in a delivery. I booked with her very short notice, the day before, and she truly exceeded my expectations! Very thankful to her and the care she provided. 10/10 recommend!”
“AnnaMaria did a wonderful job dropping in on my cat, Mr. Steve. Prompt, trustworthy, and super helpful with last minute adjustments. Everything went smoothly from start to finish! Would book again.”
About: I've owned at least eight dogs in my life, and taken care of at least six of my friends and family's dogs multiple times. I am currently attending college, but have very few classes, so I have plenty of time to care for animals. I also donate plasma two days a week, but it never lasts longer than an hour, so it shouldn't effect my care. I ensure my animals have plenty of time to use the bathroom frequently, and am very good at following instructions given to me for the animal.
About: I've grown up around dogs and currently have three of my own, so caring for them has been part of my daily life for years. I've also dog sat for family and friends, handling feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. I'll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit. I'm currently a university student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I do my best to accommodate each pet's routine, whether that means morning walks, afternoon visits, or evening check-ins. I'm happy to communicate with owners to find a schedule that works best for both them and their pets. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions provided by owners and make sure pets stay on their normal routine. I'll always keep doors, gates, and leashes secure, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and send regular photo and text updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

“We’ve boarded Hazel with Sherilyn before, but this was our first drop in visit, and Sherilyn was awesome like always! She spent a good amount of time with Hazel, playing with her and keeping her active. She also went above and beyond when she came over and found that Hazel made a mess on the floor, Sherilyn cleaned it up for us, which was was so greatly appreciated! Thank you again Sherilyn!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Katie! She took such great care of Ivy and Floki and kept us updated throughout each visit, which meant so much to us.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Marion
Kallie was great! I got detailed updates about my Tiny & she even went above & beyond and brought in my packages even though I didn’t mention this on our meet & greet. Tiny is pretty shy & hesitant around other people so it’s always a great sign when I receive photos of him feeling comfortable around a sitter. 10/10
