“Katie is an exceptional animal caretaker. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking proper care for their pets. We’ll definitely be using her services every time we can in the future.”

About: I've cared for dogs since I was a child. Growing up with 3 of my own throughout my childhood. My parents entrusted me to feed, bathe and walk our dogs on a daily basis. Working at a pet resort for some time I will ensure care for yours like they are my own They will not only survive but thrive until your return. I absolutely love animals and would love for you to have a peace of mind while away. I know how important it is to know that your fur babies are in good hands, with me you don't have to doubt. As I am currently working part time in Ashland as a massage therapist on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 12pm-7pm(depending on if im booked) Otherwise my schedule allows for plenty of time for your fur babies. Whatever they need, playtime, cuddles, treats, exercise you name it! I have one cat at home who owns the place King Mkhai likes his space so I will be available to come to you for whatever you need to keep your fur babies schedule as seamless as possible! Any and all safety measures will be taken while pets are in my care, especially while on walks.
“Haley did an excellent job caring for my cat on Christmas Day while I was out of town. She followed all the instructions I left and I came back home to a happy kitty. I’d definitely book Haley again!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from young puppies to large breeds, and I’m confident handling a wide range of needs and personalities. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to make sure every pet stays healthy and safe. I also have experience with basic puppy training, helping reinforce good habits and routines. What sets me apart is my patience and understanding, especially with dogs who have separation anxiety or need extra reassurance. I take the time to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like my own, paying close attention to their behavior, energy level, and individual needs so they get the best care possible. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make it a priority to give each pet the time, attention, and consistency they need. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate morning, midday, evening, and even last-minute bookings when needed. Whether it's walks, drop-ins, or extended stays, I'm able to adjust my routine to match your pet's schedule and keep things as normal and stress-free as possible for them. I'm reliable, responsive, and committed to being there when you and vour pet need me. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I have a spacious three-floor condo that gives dogs plenty of room to move around and feel comfortable. I also have a friendly six-year-old dog who gets along well with other animals, helping visiting pets feel more at ease. My two daughters are gentle and respectful with animals, adding to the loving environment your pet will be in. I live in a great area for walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention throughout the day. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping things consistent and stress-free by maintaining their normal routine and environment. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Was in a pinch, Kristy fast tracked so she could take care of our kitties while I had surgery and hospital stay. I could tell she took care of them by the way they acted when we got home.”
About: Growing up my family always had at least one or more pets of various breeds so I have 20+ years of experience around animals. I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, lizards, rabbits, goats, and hedgehogs. Personally, my husband & I have 2 dogs currently, 9 & 10 years old, one having epilepsy & is dependent on medication. I have helped raise/care for/train puppies, kittens, baby rabbits, & baby goats. The only pet I'm not comfortable with is snakes, my little sister has one but I only look at it from 3ft away in its enclosure, haha. I work part time Tu/W/Th 8A - 5P, I do not mind caring for pets those days, however I will be gone all day. Otherwise, I'm available for your pets needs! My personal routine with my pets: My husband helps me care for our pets daily but his schedule is a bit different than mine, so our dogs are let out at least within 4-6 hours those days. Otherwise, we let them out every 2-4 depending on their needs (which they have been trained to lets us know if they need to go sooner). Our medical dog is on a 12 hr medication schedule. I'd prefer to care in my clients home due to one of my dogs having a reactive past, it was quite a transition when we inherited our other dog. If you have a specific routine, I'm ready to follow it to the T! I'm comfortable walking dogs on leash, hanging out/playing with them in a fenced yard, or just chilling inside. As mentioned, I have experience with medically dependent pets. I have an escape artist, so I'm always vigilant of their proximity to me and prepared to run/chase in the event something happens. I can stay at the home with the pets or I can visit throughout the day!
About: While in college I adopted my reactive black lab chow mix from the pound, he has been a big challenge but he my lovable boy! He is reactive to other animals so I am skilled in deescalating situations that will arise during walks! I have recently made drop in visits for my friends husky and lab mix including, but not limited to feeding, play time, walks, and don’t forget cuddles. I work as a substitute so I am very flexible with schedules! Some days I might work a half day, a full day, or not at all! I will be providing services at your home and/or around your home, due to my dogs reactiveness no care will take place at my home.
About: I’ve been pet sitting ever since I was a little girl! When I’m not at college, I work seasonally at a Doggy Day Care facility. I also worked as a Vet/Kennel Assistant in high school, so there’s nothing I haven’t seen! I love working with animals and helping people by doing so!! I’m currently working at a part time doggy day care for the summer, so I have plenty of time to prioritize your fur baby too! I vow to treat your furry baby like my own and prioritize their safety while you’re away. There is nothing I care more about than animals.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and an experienced pet owner. I have two beagles, a golden doodle, and a mini schnauzer, so I understand how much love, care, and attention our furry friends need. Whether it’s a brisk walk, playtime, or just some extra companionship, I’m here to ensure your pets are happy, safe, and well-cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and look forward to meeting your four-legged family members! I am currently laid off and while looking for a new job, I have plenty of time to give attention to your furry family members! My dogs are very friendly and would love to play with your dog in my fenced back yard. I can also come to you and keep your pet company.
“Carina helped us out on short notice. She was very professional and sweet to our dog, even offered a meet and greet prior to providing drop in service. Would definitely look to hire Carina again!”
“Alison was wonderful. My family was dealing with extremely challenging circumstances and I didn’t make things as high a a priority as I should I have. I was extremely fortunate to have had a wonderful drop in visit by her where Hallie was well-loved on and cared for and I absolutely can not recommend her enough.”
Midlothian dog parents share their Rover experiences
We booked Jillian for a few drop-ins for our dog & 2 cats. We are very happy with the service she provided! Her communication was great and we received lots of pictures of all of our pets so our minds were left at ease knowing everyone was happy and cared for!
Emily is amazing always but this time specifically I had her take care of my dog, my parents dog, and my grandparents dog. They all had special requirements and she did great! My parent’s dog was slow to warm up but Emily easily won him over. She is the best and I can’t recommend her enough!!!

Carina has been an amazing dog sitter, very responsive and is able to handle my energetic dogs. She has really taken the time to earn the trust of my (2) border collies and has been great at meeting time schedules. She is good at communicating and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter!
Hallie did an excellent job with our rescue dog! He loved her and we knew that he was in the best of hands after our meet and greet! We especially appreciated the communication, updates and photos with each visit. Thank you for loving our little guy like your own, Hallie!!
Ella was fantastic during our meet and greet! She was gentle and patient with my puppy, and it was clear she has a genuine love for dogs. She answered all my questions and made me feel completely at ease about having her check in on the little guy when I'm away. I'm happy to have found her!
Caitlin was amazing with our animals! My dog panda can be very excitable when he first meets someone and sometimes nervous! Caitlin was great with him!!!! Immediate good vibes for both my cat & dog and panda (my dog) was very trusting with her. Eased my mind a lot and cannot wait to have her come again and stay at my home with my babies!!
