“Abby is amazing! We moved from out of state and were so hesitant to find a new pet sitter, but she immediately made us feel at ease. She sent us daily pictures and updates. We’ve used her several times since. One trip was for 10 days. I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my babies for so long with someone. Would definitely reccomend her!”


“Lauryn was amazing. She met my babies, and ensured they were comfortable while we were away on a quick weekend getaway. She stayed in constant communication and asked for directions when needed. I’d highly recommend Lauryn as she cared for our pets as though they were her own.”


“This was our first time hiring someone to stay at our home to pet sit. I immediately felt at ease as soon as I met Rachel.

“Carrie was wonderful. Carrie sent me pictures and Maisie looked so happy which could not make me more at ease while I was out of town. I will absolutely hire her again.”


About: I have previously worked within a doggy daycare, which deepened my understanding in many temperaments, as well as administering some types of medication! I have worked well with leashed walking, timed feeding schedules, and moving crate-trained pets to/from their crates when needed! Pet care is my passion, and I dedicate most of my time to caring for animals. I regularly watch the pets of friends and family, and dedicate lots of time for play, walks, and interaction time with pets! I regularly dedicate time to indoor and outdoor play for pets. I am happy to take extra time to hang out with your pet and make sure they’re happy before I leave!

“Alexandria was a phenomenal pet sitter! We felt completely at ease and were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing our animals were in such good hands. She cared for them as if they were her own—attentive, playful, and always keeping our dog company. It’s clear our pets love her and feel comfortable around her. We’ll absolutely hire her again for any future travel!”


“Amber was absolutely the best!! J never had to wonder how things were going, she kept me updated with pictures and videos the whole time. I think my pets like her more than me at this point- highly recommend and will definitely be having her pet sit for me again!”


“Kayla was great! Followed all our instructions and sent tons of pics!”

“Jameson took care of my handicap dog. He has never changed a diaper on a dog before he did very good. He was very gentle and caring to her. He loved my dog. I would definitely hire him again.”


About: I treat pets like family – Every walk, meal, and cuddle comes with genuine love and care. I offer overnight stays – Giving pets comfort in their own home (or yours) while their humans are away. I am reliable and trustworthy – Always on time, communicative, and consistent—clients can relax knowing their pets are in safe hands. I specialize in dogs and cats – Confident, experienced care for both, from walks to purr therapy. I build bonds – Pets love me! I am not just a sitter—I am their second-best friend. I am detail-oriented – Meds, feeding schedules, routines—I don’t miss a thing. I go the extra mile – Whether it's cleaning up messes, sending photo updates, or squeezing in a few extra belly rubs, I do it all with heart. I currently work from home, which allows me time to spoil your furry friend and give them the love and attention that they all deserve. Daily Basics Feed on time (follow the owner's instructions exactly—type of food, portion size, schedule) Fresh water always available Daily walks & exercise tailored to the dog’s age, breed, and energy level Bathroom breaks regularly, especially in the morning, after meals, and before bed 🧠 Mental & Emotional Care Playtime with toys or games they enjoy Affection & attention (petting, brushing, cuddles—if they like it) Stick to routine to reduce anxiety while their owner is away 🏥 Health & Safety Watch for signs of illness or distress (vomiting, limping, excessive barking, etc.) Give meds if needed (make sure you're trained and authorized) Keep dogs leashed or fenced—never assume recall is perfect

She was also easy to get ahold of. She is a warm and kind soul and truly cared for our pups. Will definitely ask her again in the future to watch our pups!”


About: Ever since I can remember I’ve always had a dog in the family! I currently have three rescues of my own and they are my babies! I have experience caring for small and large breed dogs. I’ve successfully potty trained my three pups as well as a few foster puppies so puppies are no problem. I also have experience walking all different kinds of shelter pups so I’m accustomed to learning new personalities and building trust. I spoil every fur baby as if they were my own and I hope I get to meet yours :) I’m currently studying to be a personal trainer and will start my part-time nursing job in a couple weeks. As of now my availability is pretty open during the week! Depending on age and my schedule, I have created or designated an area ( i.e kitchen) for my pups during work hours etc. I know sometimes it may take a little bribery with a treat, but that’s no problem! Just let me know what your normal routine is and I’ll follow it. :)

Jason K.
“Jason has watched my pups on several occasions. I have an elderly 14 year old pup, that moves a little slower, and Jason has all the patience with her on their walks as she enjoys sniffing all the things. He has also cared for my pup with epilepsy and provides snuggles and tennis ball plays to keep him engaged and his energy in check. I know my pups are well cared for and they enjoy Jason spending time with them as they are quick to greet him and bring him a toy to play with or belly up for some scratches and ear rubs. I highly recommend Jason if you need a pet sitter!”

Murphy pet parents share their Rover experiences
Abby is awesome. We had timely updates, our dogs and cat were happy when we came home, and our house was clean. We have already booked Abby again!

Bennett did a wonderful job watching my two dogs while my family was on vacation. He bonded with both of them and helped them be comfortable while we were gone. I will definitely ask Bennett to watch my dogs again.

Ayva took excellent care of our pup Goosey while we traveled for a night. We would gladly have her back.
