“Madison is wonderful! We have been using her for a long time she has proven to be flexible accommodating professional and her willingness to help goes above and beyond! Anyone lucky enough to have her care for their companions will never be disappointed!”


“This is our second time we have used Emily and we highly recommend! We trust her with our two cats and she also grabs our mail during the time we are gone as well. Thank you for the daily updates and pictures. We surely appreciate them! We will definitely use Emily again in the future.”


“Melissa took care of our cat while we were gone on an extended trip. She gave him lots of love and attention and sent us updates and pictures. It was nice knowing someone was looking after our kitty and checking on things in the house as needed.”



“Michaela was amazing with our 3 guinea pigs. She sent so many photos, and very detailed updates during her time with the piggies. She was very sweet! She did everything I asked, plus gave them some treats while we were gone. Will definitely use her again in the future. Thanks again Michaela.”


About: I always grew up with family dogs, and leaned into caring for dogs when I left for college. I volunteered at a local private rescue in Oklahoma where I did my undergraduate degree, and have since been volunteering at the St. Joe County Humane Society since coming up here for grad school. I'm familiar and comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds, and genuinely enjoy being around any and all dogs! They make me happy! I am a graduate student, and therefore have a largely flexible schedule. Other than a few occasional meetings, I can largely work whenever you need me! Because of my current living situation, I cannot care for your pet in my own home. However, I have experience dogsitting in clients' homes and will treat your space with the utmost respect! I equally love going on walks or lazy days on the couch, so whichever your dog prefers I'm all in!

“I have never used Rover before and so this was a large leap of faith for me to let someone watch my pets for 5 days. Janelle proved to be diligent in sending me updates everyday, and went above and beyond to provide for my fur babies. One of my kitties ate all the food left in her automatic feeder (knocked it over ugh) and they were not going to have enough food to last until we came back, so she went to the store and picked up more food for them!! I would recommend Janelle every time and will be using her again in the future for services 💕🥰 Thanks again!!”


About: Hello, my name’s Anna. I have been taking care of dogs since I was 18. My family recently got a golden doodle several years ago and he has definitely been a joy and a task. Having a dog such as mine has made me more comfortable in my dog caring skills and fairly knowledgeable about what needs dogs have. I’m also very well equipped to handle puppies as I recently got a cocker spaniel several months ago. But given that, my passion for dogs continues to grow. I work full time but like to stay active and adding furry friends to the mix on my days off is no big task. I would love to see more dog friends and help them socialize and make someone’s life easier. I don’t have a fenced in back yard, but I am capable of taking dogs on as many walks as needed. I am also capable of putting dogs in a crate and preparing them for crating as long as needed.

“Casey is exceptional! This was our first time hiring a sitter for our senior cat through Rover, and Casey made the entire experience such a positive one. Casey came to our house a week before our booking for a meet & greet. We could immediately tell she was very competent and professional. Meeting with her ahead of time completely put us at ease. Our cat was clearly comfortable with Casey during the meet & greet. Casey provided wonderful pictures and updates after each of her drop-in visits while we were out of town. She followed our directions down to a tee and was incredibly neat and tidy, going above and beyond by washing our cat's extra dishes, rinsing out the recycling, etc. Our cat generally runs away when anyone (including myself and my husband!) first comes through the door, but Maggy was greeting Casey at the front door when she arrived for her drop-in visits. It was wonderful to know our cat was so comfortable with Casey. We highly recommend Casey and are already looking forward to booking her for future trips!”


“Lindsay was great about communicating quickly with me about Morgan's care. Morgan was happy and healthy when I came home, which is something we haven't experienced with boarding facilities. We will definitely be contacting her in the future!”


“Sophia did a great job caring for my kitties while I was on vacation. She made sure to give them love and attention as if they were her own. I loved that I got pictures every day, so I never had to worry about them.”


About: I grew up in a veterinary family! Does your dog require grooming daily, pills, insulin, or even daily runs? Perfect! I aim to be available for all dogs even ones with special needs! I love lazy breeds and have lots of experience with energetic breeds like malinois and greyhounds! I live on a lake so if your pet loves water, they can swim! I have a large fenced in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood. I can send updates daily of your furbaby❤️ I am up for any challenge. I took up sport and obedience training 7 years ago as well so if you need help while your pet stays here, reach out for that as well! If your pet needs to be the PNLY one here, i can accommodate that too. I work from home so your furry friends will always have me! I am available 24/7 for you to call as well to check up I have a fenced in yard and can take them for daily walks. You have the option of having then crated or uncrated if they are house broke. I have cages here of all sizes and beds. My cat is flea treated so I require your pets be UTD on flea meds too.

About: I've been taking care of my own and others' pets since I was a baby! I've trained a few puppies on how to sit and stay, come here, and generally behaving better! I promise I'll ensure your pets are not only safe but happy! Please note that I don't accept German Shepherds under 3 years old. I've had too many bad experiences with them. I'm currently looking through some education and career options, so I'm home all week long. I go to sleep and wake up after everyone else in my family, so we can let your dog out to go potty on a very consistent basis. All animals in my care will be provided with an AirTag to ensure they can be easily located should anything happen. I have a fenced-in yard, two dogs, and three cats to keep your pets entertained and exercising. My dogs are super friendly and the cats don't bother anyone.

About: I know I’d only want the best for my fur babies, so I plan to be that for your pets needs. I have many years of dog obedience classes with two different (sometimes opposite) dogs. I love getting to know the different needs of each dog. They are all individual. I’ve grown up with many animals. I’ve dog sat before and been expected to administer various kinds of medication. I am not a behavior expert. I do have experience dealing with difficult behaviors and will carry out any request you have for training that I am able. Training alignment is important to me. And less confusing for your fur baby I currently have one dog who is very well socialized. Play dates are an option. I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I am a teacher looking for summer work. I also work with dogs on the side. I have lots of experience working with all breeds of dogs. Each dog or pet has their own needs and personality. My own dogs need different feeding schedules and training. I know how to differentiate and listen to a pet’s needs.
