About: I have taken care of my own dogs since I was born! I love dogs and would do anything for the pets that I would be taking care of I am working full time right now from home! I never have to leave the house for work which is really great and can spend more time with the dogs I do not have a fence but I will take your dog out on a lease so that they do not run away if that happenssr
“Lisa was great!!! This was our first dog/house sitting with Rover. We were hesitant having a stranger in our home but Lisa made me feel at ease during our initial meeting. She seemed genuine and extremely kind. She respected our home as it was her own. She took the initiative to gather used items and left our home very clean. She kept the dogs routines, did everything we asked and followed our home request. Our dogs were spoiled that’s for sure!!! So grateful to have met her.”
About: Hello all! My name is Ariel, like the mermaid :), and I have two years of experience caring for a wide variety of pets, from energetic dogs to independent cats. No matter the type of pet, I’m dedicated to ensuring they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve while you're away. I love animals with my whole heart so it was a no brainer to naturally gravitate towards Rover as not only a form of extra income, but a way to interact with them more regularly. I take pride in being highly attentive to each pet's unique needs, whether it's going for long walks, providing playtime and exercise, keeping meal times consistent, or offering snuggles and companionship. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I’m committed to following your care instructions closely, including any special dietary needs, medication routines, or any other specifics. I also provide a google form before every booking to ensure we tailor your preferred method of care to all of your pets' specific needs! I may have only two years of experience, but I approach each pet with the same level of care and responsibility that I would for my own. You can expect regular updates and photos, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I look forward to meeting your furry (or feathered, or scaly) family member and providing them with the best care possible! I currently work remotely, which means I have the flexibility to provide your pets with the love and care they need without the restrictions of a typical 9-to-5 schedule. Because I work from home, I’m available during the day to give your pets extra attention when they need it most. Welcome to your pet’s home away from home! I offer in-home pet sitting at my spacious, pet-friendly house, where your furry friend will have plenty of room to relax and play. Our lower-level den is a large, comfortable space perfect for pets to explore, stretch out, and feel right at home during their stay. Your pet won’t feel lonely here—my two friendly cats love having new companions around and are happy to provide some extra company! I make sure every pet gets the attention, love, and care they need while staying in a safe, cozy environment.
About: I was always had furry siblings but have graduated to a cat mama. I enjoy creating personal heavens for our companions. Reliable, punctual and kind. I have a full-time job that pays the bills but I am looking for ways to feed my soul. Overnights are great as well as drop ins. I would prefer to host at client's homes as my current home does not allow dogs. Willing to board or take cats overnight. Let's make it a sleepover!
About: I’ve lived with cats and dogs my whole life, giving me deep understanding, patience, and care. I prioritize pets’ comfort, routines, and individual personalities. I won’t hesitate to help with medications, potty clean up, nail clipping, or play time! Weekends work best, but evenings on weekdays are workable! I work part time at a restaurant and love the idea of pet sitting in my spare time! I live in an animal friendly neighborhood and plenty of access to parks and greenery. I do not have a fenced yard, but I have leashes and great walking paths.
“Stacie was fantastic. Our dogs were impeccably cared for and she anticipated additional needs at our house and asked us if she could take care of them before we asked her. She was a joy and we’ll definitely be asking her again!”
“Cheyenne has dog sat for us a few times and each time she was timely and a good communicator. We’d definitely recommend and continue to book her!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life ranging from fish, amphibians, rodents, birds, cats, and dogs. I love connecting with animals and giving them all the love they deserve! I also am a former vet assistant (I now work at a vet lab) so I have experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and health statuses. My priority is the pets’ safety and comfort, and will work with them to ensure we have a foundation of trust. I also can work enrichment into my visits to get their minds more stimulated or just give them a 15 minute belly rub if that’s more up their alley. I’ve also trained many of my pets so I can help introduce basic commands to puppies or reinforce commands and manners from older pets. I’m available pretty much every day for the summer. Once mid-August comes around, I’ll be available Sunday-Tuesday at all times and Wednesday-Saturday from 9-11 AM I can come in let the pets out, clean up messes from them, feed/water, play enrichment games or work on training, and give them lots of love!
“Brit was amazing. She made sure my doggos were well taken care of throughout her stay.”
About: Hi, I’m AmberRae! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I’ve grown up with all types of pets from dogs to cats, rabbits and snakes, I even had 2 rats and now a cat again. I can help reinforce basic training like sit, stay, and leash walking. I have a sweet black cat of my own, so I understand how much your pets mean to you. I’ll treat them like family whether they need playtime, cuddles, or calm, reliable care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I’m already caring for my own cat every day, and I’ve always made time for walks, feeding, play, and cuddles when watching dogs or other pets. I’m organized, flexible, and genuinely enjoy making animals feel safe and loved so fitting pet care into my schedule feels like second nature. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort come first. I follow any routines or instructions you provide to keep things familiar and stress free. I always make sure pets have clean spaces, fresh water, and plenty of love and attention. I keep a calm, respectful environment and never force interactions especially with shy or anxious pets. Trust means everything to me, and I treat every home and animal with care, just like my own.
“We were very pleased with the service Stephanie provided for our Jack. I knew he was well cared for as she kept us updated with progress and pictures. We will be glad to use Stephanie as Jack's caregiver in the future. Kathy M.”
“Twinkie enjoyed every minute. Thank you for being attentive and keeping him happy”
About: I was the neighborhood baby/dog sitter for most of my teens and even now I do the occasional dog sitting for a week or so for family friends. I have taken care of dogs ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I recently started fostering kittens and have a newfound love for those little guys too! I’ve owned bunnies and hamsters, watched a snake, taken care of a bird. You name it I’m sure I’ve had some sort of experience with it! I’d be so happy to take care of your critter too <3 I work from home! Rest assured your little buddy will get lots of attention in my care. If they have a more strict letting out schedule that’s absolutely no problem! I have a small mix dog, with two friendly cats. I work from home and can spend more time than the average person with your pet. I have a non fenced in yard, but am happy to take out on walks or on their leash in my yard.
About: My mothers has had multiple dogs for as long as I can remember. I love caring for animals in all situations. I’ve taken care of teeny tiny babies and huge old dogs as well. From super hyper- to the laziest of dogs. I am working part time mornings only and I have plenty of time to help you look after your babies. I’m home a majority of the time so this will be no problem. Plus I have my own fur baby that I’m taking care of anyway. I have a huge backyard that my dog loves to run around in( fenced of course). I also have a crate that I don’t use any longer but I can pull it out of storage if need be.

“Ellie has helped pet sit my cats and she is an absolutely amazing pet sitter! She truly loves and cares for animals, going above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Not only is she great at playtime and cuddles, but she also handles the less glamorous side of pet care—grooming, cleaning after potty time, and any messes—with patience and professionalism. I always feel at ease knowing my pets are in her hands because she treats them like her own. If you’re looking for someone reliable, loving, and dedicated, Ellie is the perfect choice!”

Victoria A.
“Tori is an amazing person. I have known her personally for many years but she started taking care of my fur babies about two years ago. They love her. I have a very skittish dog that will not warm up to anyone and Tori can get him to go outside for her, snuggle with her, etc. She is very loving, LOVES animals and will make sure your babies are taken care of. I know my animals can cause messes (I have 4 of them) and I always come back to my house clean and no sign of any messes (which I know she is covering for them). :) I would highly recommend Tori to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She will take care of them as if they are her own.”
