“Jamie did drop-in visits with our two cats while we were traveling. She was amazing to work with! She sent lots of good, detailed updates and photos, and made great progress befriending our (very shy) cats. The house was left in perfect order. Highly recommend!”


About: I am an energy infrastructure development executive and entrepreneur who loves to do other work like this locally when I can. I am an experienced, responsible, and fun family-oriented option for support, care, and love for your pets, as my 9 year old son will accompany me. I offer drop-in visits and walks. I have lived with and cared for cats and dogs most of my life - growing up with golden retrievers, yellow labs, a husky, German shepards, and a range of domestic short haired cats, including currently our amazing 1 year old cat named Knuckles. I enjoy meeting more great dogs and cats, and more neighbors by helping when folks are traveling, working long hours, or have other constraints. I work remotely most of the time and in an entrepreneurial environment so I inherently have flexibility in my schedule. I just include it in the plan. I treat others homes and creatures as I would my own, and can be relied on without question. The core of everything is honesty and respect.

“An excellent experience for us and our two large doggos. One of our dogs us recovering from a major surgery and she had no problem handling allot of special instructions. Andrea kept us posted with photos through out the day, where we could see the dogs were happy and cared for :)”


“Stephanie is wonderful with dogs, especially my dogs apparently!!! She is professional, reliable, safety-oriented, very friendly, really loves dogs, and follows instructions very well regarding visits, feeding, potty, medications, and care. I will hire her again and again in near future! I can tell my dogs enjoyed themselves by her photos and text messages too!”

“LoLo was great! My kitty was very well taken care of and given lots of love. I appreciated and enjoyed all the updates and pictures that she sent. Will definitely try to rebook with her again. 😊”

About: I have been dog sitting for years but started Rover in 2022. I started out caring for my two pugs and cat, and have been sitting for family, friends, and folks on Rover. I am currently working as a flexible overnight nursing assistant, so I have plenty of time to take care and play with your pet! The rest of the days I am here to help, so they can get all the love and attention they can get while you’re away! When I am at a client’s home I make sure fencing is secured if needed. My home has a fence as well. I also make sure they have enough place to play whether it could be inside or out. I prefer to be outside with them! I love being active with animals but if you’re pet is somewhat a couch potato OR old, I can comfort them in whatever way they feel comfortable.

“Alison checked in on our dog Archie while we were gone for a few hours. She was prompt, sent a photo and remembered to put Archie in his crate when she left (per instructions). Archie can be very enthusiastic with new people and she wasn't phased at all. She also came for a pre-meet even though it was a bit of a drive for her.”


About: I’ve lived with dogs since my first memory. I grew up on a farm, and we had 3-6 dogs at any given time. When I went to college, I adopted the first dog I would raise on my own -- he lived almost 15 happy years. I rescued another pup in my mid-thirties — he’s going on 7, and we’re best buds. So, I have experience taking care of puppies, seniors, and every age in between. My dogs and I have participated in puppy schools and worked 1:1 with excellent dog trainers -- in each case, I learned as much as my dog. I believe dogs just want to give love and get love back. This emotional reciprocation, along with adequate exercise and a healthy diet, makes for a happy, healthy dog. I believe every dog is good by nature, and, as humans, we have a responsibility to provide dogs with a nurturing environment in which they can be their good-natured, happy selves. I love connecting with a new dog, understanding its world and experience. With empathy from this connection, I find it easier to care for a dog and provide the type of love any particular dog needs and wants -- through daily routines, fun-hearted play, and plenty of attention. Ultimately, this leads to a more enjoyable relationship between human and canine. While I’m primarily a dog person, I grew up with lots of cats on the farm and have lived with and cared for cats here and there as an adult. I feel comfortable with cats and understand their needs. I understand the trust required to let someone else take care of your pet. My promise is to always be building and reinforcing my trustworthiness as a caregiver to animals and plants. I walk my dog every day. I understand some dogs need more than one walk per day, depending on their energy level. I also make sure my dog gets outside several times a day to enjoy the fresh air and relieve them. I will do the same for yours, based on your preferences. At this time, I work from home, so my availability for drop-ins or walks is very flexible. I am calm, gentle, and patient and aim to create an environment where the dogs I care for can feel and act the same. When walking, I like to keep dogs on a 6-foot leash (not a retractable leash) and keep the dog walking forward as opposed to stopping every few seconds. I consider myself the leader (not the dog) and intend to set a vibe where the dog understands they have a job to do -- walk!

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I have two golden retrievers, a black cat (opposite ends of the pet spectrum haha), and 6 chickens. I have many years of experience dog walking, and petsitting. I am looking to fill my schedule this summer. As a teacher, I am looking to fill my summer schedule. As of right now, I have a very open schedule for pet sitting and dog walking. I am a kind, trusting, and caring individual. I ensure that animals always feel safe by trusting their body language and ensuring all their needs are met.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13 years old. I love to take care of all animals! I also have a knack for teaching dogs new tricks. My schedule is very open to take care of your pets. I am available Tuesday,wednesday, thursday Friday and Saturday all day! I can also crate train if needed. I have a safe home with one other dog (who is very friendly and playful) and one very sweet cat that will love to keep your pets company and play!
