“Malcomn was the best Rover we ever had. Would hire him back in an instance. He was respectful, responsive, communicative and took exceptional care of our puppy and cat for a long weekend. He sent great descriptions and photos every day. He sets the bar high for Rovers!”


“Kathryn took excellent care of my Buddy. She was very responsive and sent many photos throughout the day. He’s not the easiest dog to care for, so I was impressed with how easily he took to her and how well she cared for him. 10/10 would recommend.”


“Alexa was a very thoughtful, thorough, and kind sitter. She followed all the house rules and Nala rules. She left our home better than when we came back. We will definitely hire her again.”


“My Dog Dottie loved Ava! Dottie has tons of energy and Ava spoiled her with long walks and lots of dog park trips. I felt so relieved that my pup was in great hands. Ava sent lots of pictures and updates and left the house nicer than she found it. The best! Already booking her again”


“Patrick is super reliable and takes great care of our reactive German shepherd/rottie as well as our cat. We will continue to have Patrick stay with them when we are out of town! Highly recommend!”


“Travis is a fantastic pet sitter. He watched my puppy, my bigger, older dog, and my cat while I was in Detroit for a weekend getaway. This is my second time using Rover as my first time did not go well and now I usually am too afraid to trust anyone else with my animals. I was kept updated (but not too much) and I can tell by their mannerisms that they were well cared for. I am planning on using Travis’s services again later this summer when I’ll be gone for ten days. He is a kind, empathetic, and considerate pet sitter.”


“Margaret was amazing! She was so wonderful to work with. She took such good care of our zoo family which consisted of 4 dogs and 2 cats for 5 days. She also took care of our home. She made sure our babies felt comfortable while we were away. I will definitely be booking with Margaret if she's available!”


About: I love dogs and cats, all animals really. I have had my dog for 5 years, I trained her since she was 8 weeks. I am very hardworking and punctual. I will give ur pup love and attention and any guidance needed :) Pet care is my priority everyday as a pet owner, and it would be my top priority to treat others pets with utmost care and provide any services needed. I have a large house and a big backyard. I also love taking walks and I always take my furbaby with me. I have a small 10 pound dog. She is shy and well behaved, mostly sleeps but loves to play. Good with dogs or cats.

“We were very pleased with the service Stephanie provided for our Jack. I knew he was well cared for as she kept us updated with progress and pictures. We will be glad to use Stephanie as Jack's caregiver in the future. Kathy M.”


About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was in Grammer school. At one point in my life I shared a home with four roommates with pets. All together we had 3 dogs and 4 cats at one time. I have had 3 cats in my lifetime as well. My family, wife and daughter, currently have no pets,(our family Doberman passed a few years ago)so it seems the perfect time to provide care for your pets in your time of need. I currently work part time in the music industry and real-estate. I have flexible days to offer for your pets. My wife and daughter are also very good with pets. In a way, you get 3 care givers for the price of one! I have a spacious backyard that has a secure 6 foot wooden fence all the way around the property. My family and I currently do not have pets besides our fish, Blueberry, so all our attention can be focused on your loved one.

About: Dogs gravitate me & vice versa I have loved and cared for two Wheaton Terriers for a total of 18 years and don’t plan on stopping One day at a time, one week at a time I can adapt to any schedule. I like to stay busy so I am capable of juggling several jobs. I will earn your trust quickly The dogs will like me right away because I am playful. I will keep them active & occupied to make sure they are healthy and happy.

About: Over the years, I’ve found myself drawn to caring for animals in small but meaningful ways. Whether it’s walking or playing with a family member’s energetic dog or simply offering companionship, I’ve always found fulfillment in their presence.What I may lack in professional dog care experience, I make up for with genuine attentiveness, patience, and affection. I understand how important it is to build trust with pets and their humans, and I’m committed to creating a safe, loving environment for your pets. As someone who’s cared for my aunt’s cats—including administering medication and tuning in to their unique personalities—I bring that same level of thoughtfulness and care to my work with dogs. As someone who works from home full-time, I have a flexible schedule and the freedom to work from just about anywhere—making it easy for me to prioritize your pet’s care. Whether it's a mid-day walk, potty break, or weekend with the owner's out of town, I can be present and attentive to assist you in caring for your pet's needs. Work with my schedule and I can work with your's. When providing services in your home, I will treat your space with the same respect and care I give your pets. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable with someone entering your home, and I take that trust seriously. With a patient, compassionate approach, I aim to create a calm and safe environment where your pet can feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for. As well as ensuring that the guidelines you provide are followed.

“Haley and her husband watched our Golden retriever, Josie for a couple days! They were so great! Fantastic communication with frequent updates and pictures. Highly highly recommend!! Will definitely be asking them to watch her again in the future.”


About: In the past I've owned cats for 16 years and a dog for 6. I have experience with elderly cats and dogs. I have also pet sit for family and friends I only work at night a couple days a week so I home a majority of the the and can provide your pet with constant care I have a house with a yard but there is no fence so dog would be on a leash outside. I currently have no pets in the house

About: For as long as I can remember, there has always been a pet in close proximity to me, and now I like to joke that I prefer their company over that of other people! As I've grown up, I've learned the true value of our furry friends, especially the care required to foster our relationship with them. I have owned and taken care of dogs for many years, my longest being 15 years. Through him, we started a family; nursing a total of eight puppies and raising one throughout her entire lifetime. I have learned much about patience through my experience with dogs, whether it be getting puppies to sleep, or accommodating the needs of a senior dog. I get excited when given the possibility to teach a dog new skills, as I always form a stronger connection with it. For the first time, I have no pets of my own, and I'm excited for the opportunity to continue forming relationships with animals and observing the dynamic they have with their owners. As I said, most of my memories consist of some form of animal care, so I'm sure I can form new ones with your pet! I am currently an undergraduate student looking to graduate next year. As such, I'd like to offer my services mostly for for the weekends only, as I do not have class or work then. I exercise 5 days a week, so I'm sure I have the strength and discipline to handle any animal. As such, caring for your pet is also beneficial to my health and wellbeing. As soon as possible, I'd like to learn what habits a pet has, whether it be trained or spontaneous. This would either be in the form of special items, specific words, favorite locations, daily routines, and notable stimuli. With that knowledge in mind, I like to form a balance between accommodating a pet's special needs and the owner's requests and preferences, all to create a comfortable and safe environment for both.
