About: From having my own to caring for others I love them all and enjoy giving them the extra little love and attention they need while their person or family is away. I work from home and have a flexible schedule so I can be flexible with your pet care needs any day or time even holidays. In my space your pets are allowed wherever they are allowed in your space. I don’t want to break any house rule your pet may have. Walking trails right out the back door along with lots of grassy area to play.

5. Sonya B.
About: I have experience with pretty much every animal you could think of - cats, dogs, horses, snakes, lizards, rabbits, hamsters, etc and am a gentle kind person. I have personally had many pets through my life and have the utmost respect for our furry companions. I take great care in keeping the utmost respect for your pets but also your home. I work full time locally but have the ability to help people with their furry friends throughout the day as well as before and after work, plus weekends! Our pets need respect, understanding and consideration - especially with new faces. I like to bring a calm presence, respectability and kindness into caring for animals.


6. Elizabeth G.

“Elizabeth is wonderful! We recently booked her for the first time, and she was so patient and gentle with our somewhat timid dog. Finley warmed up to her quickly & had the best time! Elizabeth is very professional- great communication and we loved the cute pics of our dog. We highly recommend her!”


7. Louissa D.
“I have known Louissa my whole life. She shows animals kindness, patience, and understanding. She has always cared for her own pups and kitties, making sure they are shown love and given ample attention. She is an amazing caregiver and would always be quick to work with animals of all shapes and sizes, with different temperaments and needs. I could see her being an amazing Rover with her experience. You animals will be well taken care of and shown love and attention while you are away. From using Rover several times with my own dog and cat, I would positively trust Louissa to watch both of them if she lived near.”


8. Grace G.
About: Flexible schedule, lots of trails in my area for your puppies to explore, trustworthy, dependable and easily contacted. I’ve had pets of my own in the past that I loved and adored, and currently have a 3 year old eskimo/chihuahua that I adopted from the local shelter who loves to play w other dogs. I work three 12 hour shifts a week, meaning those 4 days off are great opportunities for me to walk your dog(s), stop in and check on them or stay with them. I understand the value of daily exercise and mental stimulation for a dog, so I will ensure they are getting their steps in. I also understand not everyone has the time or ability to ensure their pets receive daily exercise/time outside, and with my flexible schedule I would love to give you some peace of mind that your pet is having all of their needs met.


9. Gabriella P.
About: I am comfortable with puppy sitting, I take care of my grandparents cats when they are on vacation, along with this I am also an amazing nanny! Currently, I am nannying three days a week 8 AM to 4 PM, 1 1/2 weeks in June I will be working as a camp nanny 8 AM to 9:30 PM. Whether I’m staying overnight or stopping by for a drop-in, I care for your pets like they’re my own. I stick to their routine as closely as possible—meals, walks, playtime, cuddles, or just quiet companionship—whatever helps them feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I’m gentle, patient, and always respectful of your home, keeping things clean and just as you left them. I also make sure you stay in the loop with updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving, capable hands—whether it’s for the night or just a quick check-in.

12. Kryston W.
About: A loving teacher, I have cared for pets of all shapes and sizes since I was small! Although I can't have pets of my own, I'd love to meet and care for yours! I work about 30 hours a week at Starbucks and am focused on getting into graduate school in the next year. My schedule is flexible and I will make time to care for your pet I am compassionate and caring for pets but don't leave a trail when I've been in someone's space! I grew up a girl scout and we were taught to leave a plac3 cleaner than when you've found it!


13. Amy H.

14. Kelsey B.
About: I've had or taken care of pets since I was a child. In my own life raising puppies and caring for those pets when they got old. Friends have often relied on me to care for their fur babies while on vacation. I'm patient and caring. Potty breaks, Play time, walks or overnights. Smaller dogs welcome at my home, otherwise I would be open to house sitting options also. Let's talk I live in a quiet neighborhood but would always have your pet on leash for walks and potty time. I currently do not have any pets at home.


15. Hanna T.
About: i have dog sat for multiple people and love all dogs/ cats. i have experience with puppies and also older dogs. i would prefer to not have the dog be aggressive if possible. i have also taken care of a couple cats and would feel comfortable doing that also! Right now i am working around 30 hours a week but i work during the day so i’ll be able to let them out and i don’t work full 8 hour shifts so they wouldn’t be home alone too long! I will make sure to follow all the instructions you give me while taking care of your pets, because i know they’re your family and i wouldn’t want anything to happen to them.


16. Chrysi S.
“Chrysi is amazing with all animals! I have seen the way she handles dogs and she is what most would refer to as an animal whisperer. She forms a connection with them and always puts their needs as a top priority. She's very reliable, always responsive and one of the best pet parents I know. I would trust all 5 of my fur babies with her 100%. Your pets are very lucky if they get to meet Chrysi!”


17. Sage V.
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Sage, and I cannot say enough positive things about her service. From the moment I met her, I knew my furry companions would be in good hands. Her dedication, professionalism, and genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction. First and foremost, Sage's knowledge and experience with animals were evident. She ensured that my dogs would be well-cared for in my absence. Her attention to detail and commitment to providing the best care possible was truly impressive. During my time away, Sage kept me updated regularly with text messages, photos, and videos of my pets. It was evident that her was not just "doing their job," but genuinely enjoyed spending time with my dogs and forming a bond with them. Her updates gave me peace of mind and reassured me that my dogs were happy and content.”


18. Brooke P.
“Brooke has always loved and cared for animals! She is the sweetest and most caring person ever! She has always cared for animals and loves and will care for your fur baby like it’s her own!”


19. Olivia G.
“Olivia has been caring for our dogs for probably about 8 years now. Whenever we leave town, Olivia is the first person we call. We like to think our dogs love us, but we know they look forward to us leaving because then they get to see Olivia! She doesn't just do the minimum of feeding, watering and exercising them. She gives them lots of love! I've got huge amounts of confidence in Olivia and strongly recommend her to take care of your dogs, cats, fish, turtles, frogs, toads, iguanas, hamsters, etc., etc.”


20. Andrew B.
“Thank you for touching base - Andrew and I have known each other for over 15 years and I clearly remember the day he was surprised with the cutest little rescue puppy - it was instant love between the two of them. I have never seen a pet and parent as connected and in tune as they are. They are inseparable, understanding and patient with each other. I am honored to be a part of both of their lives for the past decade since Jaxon has come into his life; honestly they both got the best end of the deal in my opinion and they’re the cutest! My best, Kim”
