“Jennifer is great to work with! I’ve had the pleasure of booking with her on several occasions now. She has awesome communication and it is clear that she loves animals. Looking forward to rebooking her in the future as well!”

“Deeanna and Bev are amazing. They come once a week while I am living in my new grandson and I feel more than comfortable having them come over and take care of my 2 kitties. They are true animal lovers and my cats totally enjoy their visits. They are kind, sweet and incredibly helpful. I couldn’t imagine anyone else helping me. I give they 25 stars. Much love from me and my kitties. 💜💜”

“Katie loves animals and my cats enjoy her visits so much! She not only takes care of food, water, and litter, but plays with them. She is organized, trustworthy, and I feel really lucky to have found such an excellent pet-sitter.”

“Kaity was super responsive, met us at our house for a quick tour and was incredibly nice. And did exactly what we agreed upon. I trust that she took care of our three pups (two of which are elderly and one who takes pills two times a day!) and we would 100% have her back again.”

“Ashlyn came on short notice. The dogs were well cared for and loved on by Ashlyn. The house looked great and she followed instructions to a "T."”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors, and tailor my approach to each pet’s needs. I’m patient, reliable, and experienced with basic training, medication routines, and providing comfort to anxious pups. Your dog will be treated like family! I currently work 15 days out of the month and can check in on your pets whenever it is needed! I usually know what my work schedule is going to be for the whole month in advance. In my home, pets are treated like family—with plenty of love, attention, and a safe, clean environment. I follow their usual routines to keep them comfortable and happy. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and stick to the pet’s normal schedule for feeding, playtime, and walks. Whether it's giving belly rubs, refreshing water bowls, or sending daily updates, I make sure each pet feels secure and cared for.

About: My family and I have had 2 previous dogs and currently have a cat! We’ve had large dogs to small, so I’m open to all different kinds of animals. I’m not timid of animals at all! I’m currently completely free for the summer. At the end of summer I will be entering a nursing program, I go to the gym daily but that will be depending on the job! Dogs and cats will be monitored closely in my home. I have a large yard and an underground fence. Or I could use a leash to take them out!

About: Hi there! My name is Jo, and I bring years of hands-on animal care experience to every pet sitting job I take on. I’ve worked as a veterinary technician and also spent time as a zoo employee, so I’m no stranger to animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments! Whether your pet needs special medical care, a calming presence while you're away, or just lots of love and play, I provide responsible, knowledgeable, and compassionate care tailored to their needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, handling senior pets, and caring for exotic or less common animals as well. Animals have always been at the heart of my work and my passion. When you trust me with your pet, you can feel confident they’re in capable and caring hands. I’d love to meet you and your furry (or scaly or feathered!) family member! I'm free after 4:00pm on the weekdays and anytime on weekends. I take care of my own furbabies, so I am already in the routine of caring for animals. I have three furbabies myself, so I'm well-versed in the different personalities each animal can have. I don't provide a one-size-fits-all approach to caring for animals - I tailor my care to the specific needs of each pet.

“This is my first time using Rover.com and finding Stephanie. She came every day sent me pictures kept me updated and did a fantastic job with my two cats Taz and Abby. She was always on time and if she had a prior appointment and was going to be a little late she always let me know before hand so that I wouldn’t worry if she was going to show up or not but that was never a problem she was always there every single day that I booked her for. I will definitely use Stephanie in the future and if you want to caring person for your fur babies, definitely contact Stephanie.”

About: I’ve had a dog my whole life but I do not currently have one. I dog sit when I am home for college of all sorts. I currently work a part time job in my home town monday-wednesday. In july I will not be able to do anything 3-6 due to school. I build trust through gentle handling, clear communication with owners, and attentiveness to each pet’s needs. I currently do not have a dog of my own.

“Highly recommended! Courtney did a fantastic job with my 3 dogs. Did a great job checking in and sending pics as well even though she didn’t have to. I will definitely book again.”

About: I cared for 2 of my own dogs their entire lives. Puppies to elderly. I miss them so much. Now I have the time to help care for other fur babies who need it. I’m available all through the day or night. Local to Wheeling. My yard is fenced in & I live right behind Pleasanton ball field/dogpark/playground for extra fun walks. I have a whole bedroom dedicated to boarding pets so no small crating is needed. It works out well. Would love to watch your pets for you. In your home or mine. I love all animals. I have a fenced in yard. Also live directly behind a playground & ball field for plenty of activity. Iv lived all my life with pets. Excited to help care for yours. I do prefer pet sitting at the pets home. I can however have pets in my home no problem. I can pick up & deliver as well. Short trips or long stays. All options open.😊

About: I have been taking care of animals for years. I have 25 pets of my own and love every animal. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently work part time and am off on weekends which gives me some flexibility. I am also available at night and in the evenings! When I am watching your pets at your home I follow the schedule that I’m given. I’ll include walks as well. When they’re at my house I have crates and a large back yard.

About: I became a dog sitter when my Husband was working in the Military. His friends and workers would all need to go see family and could not always take their animals. So I became known as their extra Pet mommy. Even after my Husband got out of the ARMY, We saw a old comrade I sat for, and they said their dog doesn't like their new sitter. She was sad I left. We saw them in EPCOT of all places. It was nice to know they liked me. I am available all day to come and walk or play, or even just sit with your puppies or kitties. I have my own transportation and am reliable. I never leave the pet alone. we play and cuddle a lot. I take care of their area and their meds if needed as well. I am currently working part time so I will have time to play and cuddle with your pets all the time. It will be my pleasure. I am always watching to make sure they don't get into something they shouldn't be eating or playing with. I love to take walks and play.

“Always appreciate photos of my cat while I’m traveling!”

“Veronica really loved on & played with my pets!!! She was prompt in answering my sitter request and has extremely fair price. 10/10 recommend!”

“I was very skeptical to hire outside of family and friends but am so happy I found Shane! Shane scheduled a meet and greet with me at my home to become familiar with my cats and their needs. A week leading up to my trip, he confirmed we were still scheduled to need his assistance, and provided daily updates/pictures while we were away. I cannot recommend Shane enough and happy I've found a trusted pet sitter in my absence. Thank you, Shane!”
