“We had a fantastic experience with Kelly while she watched our dog, Bean, overnight. She is an excellent sitter—attentive, kind, and truly loves dogs. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. When we returned home, Bean was happy and well taken care of. We will be booking with her again!”


“Laura was absolutely amazing! I have a lot of anxiety leaving my fur babies at home but she eased all my worries! She was kind and sent updates and pictures each day. I have already booked her for another trip! 10/10 recommend! <3”



“Amber was fantastic with my new puppy. She went above and beyond working with him on training skills. I was able to be away and not worry. She sent pictures and kept in touch. I highly recommend Amber and will continue to book her to watch my dog.”



About: I currently have four very healthy dogs of my own and love them very much. I'm experienced working with aggressive dogs and doggie first aid. I really love all kinds of dogs. Absolutely love working with large dogs. I love taking dogs to the dog park as well! I have experience raising six different puppies. I also have experience with fear biting dogs. I know how to handle minor injuries such as broken nails and stopping bleeding. Overall, dogs are by far the favorite of all the animals I have ever I owned. I am very much an animal person over all though and love animals over all. I provide lots of attention and love for any animals in mt car as well! Please consider if you want your dog to be in excellent care! I am currently available full time to provide any pet care services. I am happy to spend as much time as possible with your pet. When taking care of your pet it is important the dog is comfortable. I like to let a dog warm up to me before petting or approaching.

“Josie accepted our very last-minute request to house sit our dog, which was such relief. She was really good with our dog and did a great job! Our dog, who is a bit shy of strangers at first, was comfortable with her right away. Josie sent us updates (including photos) daily, which were so nice to receive. She was also a very considerate “house guest”, even cleaning up after our dog who sheds daily and always drags dead leaves and stuff into the house on his furry feet. We highly recommend Josie and will not hesitate to request her services again. Thank you, Josie!”


About: With over 8 years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine, I bring a deep understanding of animal health, behavior, and emergency care to every pet I look after. My background includes working alongside veterinarians in clinical settings, assisting with diagnostics, surgical procedures, and administering medications. Whether it’s managing pets with chronic conditions, administering medications, or simply offering a calming presence, my veterinary experience ensures your pet is in capable, compassionate hands. I prioritize safety, well-being, and individualized care for every animal, treating each one as if they were my own. I am currently working full time at a veterinary clinic. While I am not available during the day, I will be available after 6:00 pm and in the mornings before I leave for work. I am also available almost all day during the weekends to be around for your pets. When caring for both my own pets and a client’s pet, I treat each animal with the same level of love and attention. I make sure they are fed on time and have access to fresh water throughout the day. I take dogs for regular walks to keep them active and happy, and for cats or other pets, I ensure litter boxes are kept clean and fresh. I love interacting with animals—whether it’s playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company. I want them to be comfortable and feel cared for! I also give treats (with permission) as a way to reward good behavior and build trust. Every pet in my care is treated like family.

About: Hi, I’m Hope! I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for pets—both my own and those of happy clients. I currently work in a veterinary clinic and am studying to become a licensed veterinary technician, so you can trust that your furry friends are in knowledgeable and loving hands. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feedings, or snuggles, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8–6, but I’m available for pet care after work and on my days off. I always receive my schedule a month in advance, so I can plan and let you know exactly when I’m free. Some weeks I work more than two days, but I make sure to fit pet care around my shifts. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they have fresh food and water, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and handle any special needs like medications. I also keep the space tidy and send updates so you know they’re happy and safe.

“Nikki was awesome with our two dogs! She went above and beyond and re-arranged her schedule to accommodate ours! I would highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs, we will definitely be reaching out to her again! 5 stars for sure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“Abigale was great! She stayed at our house for over 10 days to watch our English Mastiff, Meera, and our short-haired cat, Starlord. Abigale took great care of our animals, giving us picture updates regularly. We will definitely be using her again. A helpful tip for anyone interested in the 'House Sitting' service: On top of the Rover fee, we offered to provide a fully stocked fridge and pantry with items of her request. We also tipped her for the care she provided. These are not required, however, it does seem like something that should at least be offered to the sitter.”


About: I always had either a cat or dog when i was growing up. I’ve always taken really good care of my pets. I’ve always loved them like children. I currently work full time at a school but I am free most weekends and depending on where a client is located, i could stop by after work for potty breaks. When in a clients home i will respect their wishes and routine for their fur babies. I will provide the utmost care to their pets and treat them like my own.

About: Hi, my name is Lilie! I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was little and love to be around them. I am currently in school for Medical Ultrasound so I am pretty busy, but if you need someone to watch your pet during nights, mornings, or weekends I’m you’re girl! I have 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own and I have experience working in a doggy daycare for 2 years, so you can be sure that your animal is in good hands :) I’m currently in clinicals full time during the week, so I work 4 10 hour shifts sometime Monday-Friday. Every other weekend I work a part time job from 5:30 in the morning to 1 or 2 in the afternoon Saturday and Sunday. If you are willing to work around these hours, I would love to take care of your animals and help out where I can! I usually like to do a visit before with pet owners to see if I’m a good match for them. Also, I will never take on more than one job at a time so I will always be able to give your pets my full time and attention. When booking me for housesitting, I can stay at your house and watch your animal or I can come by to check on them at set times. I do not offer any services in my own home.

About: I have had some sort of pet most of my life! I've had birds, fish, hamsters, dogs and cats. I can potty train puppies too!! I can make my schedule flexible to fit the needs of your pet(s).

I will do everything I can to adhere to your current pets schedule such as feeding times and amounts as well as walks and/or yard play time!

About: Hey Pet Parents! My name is Juliana and I hold a lot of significant experience in caring for pets! First off, I am a full time student at Ohio Northern University where I currently am apart of the Polar Paws program as a Secondary Trainer. This program allows college students to care for and train future service dogs. As a secondary trainer, I would work with various dogs on campus by training and sitting them while their primary caretaker is busy. Prior to university, I volunteered at the Van Wert County Humane Society where I worked with cats and dogs of all ages and all breeds. This consisted of walking the dogs, cleaning cages, cleaning litter boxes, playing with the animals, etc. Currently I am available anytime during the day and anytime of the week, until I update my availability when I need to go back to campus. I care for pets as if they are children. They need attention, respect, and when being babysat, a good time! That being said, in my own home they have access to their own food, water, play area, and have set potty breaks. In a clients home, the same will apply. Any alternative toys, medications, and food can be used most definitely if requested by client. Always a clean and tidy environment before and after.

About: I've personally had three dogs in my home while growing up. I have had bunnies, hamsters, fish, and frogs as well.

I have a fenced in yard for your dogs to run and play. I also can crate if needed as well. My back yard is big so plenty of room to run.

About: I’ve always loved animals! I can keep them if needed or come to your place of residence to walk and care for or to just play with, I have 5 pets of my own if I could have more I would haha, I’ve always had an animal for as long as I can remember, Iv taken care of quite a bit of animals most were rescued, I nursed them back to health and found new homes for them.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 4 when I got my first dog. I currently have two cats and would love a dog but my schedule won't provide me enough time to take proper care of one.

Cierra L.
“I seriously don’t know what I would’ve done without Cierra helping with my dog. She’s been amazing — super reliable, always on time, and my dog absolutely loves her. You can tell she really cares and loves what she does. It was such a relief knowing my pup was getting good walks and attention while I was busy. She always gave me little updates which I appreciated so much. It’s not easy trusting someone with your dog, but with her, it was never a worry. Her help made my life so much easier, and I’m so grateful. If you’re thinking about hiring her — do it. She’s the real deal!”
