About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for 25 years. I have owned dogs from goldens to Boston’s and helped take care of dogs of all sizes in between. We currently have two one year old cats, who turned me from tolerable to cats to adoring them in a short period of time. I work from home, except when traveling, which are typically 24-hr trips, during the week. I am happy to do drop-ins or stays depending on availability Your pets will be taken care of as if you were home. I will do everything I can to maintain the same routine from breakfast/lunch/dinner times, to walks and playtime.
“Miriam did a great job housesitting for our cat while we were away for a few weeks. She watered flowers and put the trash out as well as the car she gave to my kitty. She also contacted me when issues came up regarding the house, which I greatly appreciate appreciated.”

“Bishop is the perfect person to care for your four legged baby. Our boy had so much fun with him and kept looking around the house afterward hoping to find him around. That’s the best feeling when you have to leave your baby for a while.”

“Stephanie was a wonderful sitter - she was quick to reply to us, even for a last-minute request, and provided us with frequent text/photo updates just how we like it. We came home to a clean apartment and a happy pup. We’d love to have her take care of our dog again!”

“Cody was amazing! It was his first time w our two dogs. One is a senior Pom mix on insulin and one is a puppy, Bernese Mountain dog. He came over twice before he was actually here staying at our house, for 1 week. Our dogs immediately loved him. We taught him how to give the shots to our senior dog and he did great! He kept in constant communication w texts and pics. We will get him again and continue to utilize him, as he was awesome!”

“Rebecca was absolutely amazing with our pup, Murphy! She was extremely communicative each day that she was staying with her. She left our house clean and was very attentive to Murphy’s needs. We highly recommend Rebecca and will be happy to hire her again!”

“Erica was a wonderful pet sitter. She was sweet, courteous, intuitive to our family and home, timely, and followed all instructions without hesitation. Our fur baby was happy & well taken care of upon our arrival home. We look forward to having Erica help out in the future for overnight stays, dog walks & cuddles!”

“Christine was kind enough to take care of my pup over Christmas while I was away. She communicated so well when she had questions related to my pup or the apartment. She sent me lots of pictures and videos of him while I was away. She kept the apartment nice and clean for me. I highly recommend and will be using her again!”

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life and have always had a passion for caring for them. I have trained my own dogs and previously worked as a pet sitter while I was in college. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll provide them with the same love, attention, and care I would give my own! I am currently enrolled in online classes, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to take care of your pets. whatever their needs are. I care for pets by following their routines, providing food, water, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I treat every pet like my own.

“Tracy was amazing. She cared for my fur babies like her own. The pictures she sent were so awesome and even had her husband take a few professional pictures. Definitely going to use her again. I would highly recommend her for your pet care when traveling. Thank you Tracy”


About: Hello My name is Ryan, I have been dog sitting for over 10 years as well as raising dogs of my own! Black labs. Border collies, German Shepherds and I currently have a Great Dane puppy who is my whole world! I would enjoy the opportunity to treat your dog as my own and give them all the attention they deserve! I typically work 2 days a week so I have plenty of availability! I enjoy building Legos and walking to the nearest coffee shop in German village! My Great Dane is one of my best friends! I am very gentle, calm and patient with all animals especially when building trust and connection! I’d enjoy the opportunity to meet your dog and treat them like family!
“Zach was such a blessing to us. He was so understanding and flexible with our needs and our old doggies and kitties love him. He was attentive and thorough with all our millions of instructions for taking care of our geriatric Great Danes with many health issues. He also took care of some things last minute for us that I had forgotten to do. It was such a relief to find someone we could trust to stay with our boys. Thank you Zach ❤️”

About: Animals are my entire life, and also my eventual career! Over 10 years ago I started walking my neighbors dogs and fell in love with animal care. Since then, I have gained a ton of experience by working with all sorts of animals in my high school animal labs and farms, working in a small animal vet clinic, volunteering at shelters and ICUs, pet sitting for family friends, knowledge through my animal science courses, and much more. I love all types of animals, and I truly hope to provide the best of service to your family pets! I am currently a college student, but I have a lot of free time throughout the week and the weekends to provide my services. My best availability is from Fri-Sun, however I can still fit quality care throughout most of the week Every time I let your pet go outside, I always make sure to have them on a leash to keep control of them for everyone’s safety. In fenced in areas, I am always outside with them to supervise so they have someone to play with and make sure they are keeping out of trouble. I am very flexible in pet care and will do whatever it takes to cater to their needs

Lizzy did a great job taking care of my two fur babies this past weekend. I came home to happy pups and they, along with my house, were well cared for! In addition, she was quick to respond to communication. I've already booked her for another longer stay next month. I highly recommend Lizzy for any of your pet sitting needs!

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our senior dog! He took such great care of her and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. He was punctual, attentive, and incredibly communicative, keeping us updated throughout our trip so we always knew how she was doing. It’s not always easy leaving a senior dog, but his patience, reliability, and genuine care made the whole experience so much easier. We came home to a happy, well cared for pup, and we would absolutely trust him with her again. Highly recommend!

Ashley is always kind, warm, and communicative throughout her stays with my pup. She is one of my go-to sitters! She takes such good care of my senior dog and makes sure she has all her medications and sticks to her routines. I trust her and can fully relax while I’m away!

I cannot say enough positive things about Caleb! He did an amazing job making my two kitties feel comfortable and always kept in communication with us while we were traveling. I would highly recommend Caleb as a wonderful pet sitter, especially for anyone with a shy kitty. Thank you so much, Caleb!

Miriam did a great job housesitting for our cat while we were away for a few weeks. She watered flowers and put the trash out as well as the car she gave to my kitty. She also contacted me when issues came up regarding the house, which I greatly appreciate appreciated.

Christine did such a great job caring for our two sweet pups and our home while we were away. We received so many great photos throughout our trip and she is always so responsive. Christine also was super communicative for potential flight delays we may have experienced and offered to go check on them again before we got home, if needed. Thank you, Christine! Chip and Olive look forward to seeing you again!

Autumn watched my cat for the weekend and truly took care of her as well as I do. Autumn was kind and respectful of my home the entire weekend. She went above and beyond with care and transparency, such as letting me know when my cat was not drinking as much water so we could come up with solutions together. I would highly recommend Autumn to anyone and everyone looking for a pet sitter who will treat your animal like her own.

We are new to Rover and somewhat apprehensive about letting a stranger sleep in our house, but Laura was fantastic! She was responsive to us, and managed an elderly cranky guy, and a Berniedoodle that is pretty needy with patience. Will absolutely be using her regularly if she will have us :)
Wow, I can’t say enough about Autumn, she is a genuine good soul and great pet sitter. She did a great job keeping us updated and when we got home we could tell our pets had been well taken care of while we were gone. She was also very respectful of our home and everything was spotless. Thank you Autumn!
