“Amanda is absolutely amazing! She loves my pets like her own and cares about their wellbeing. I didn't worry about my dogs while I was gone because she take such good care of them. She also got the best pictures of my dogs! Thank you so much Amanda!”


“Michael was a new sitter for us, but he will be our go-to sitter moving forward. He was prompt, reliable & very sweet with our pets. We got many photos and videos of his stay & our dog seemed very happy to have him there for walks & to play with. An unexpected bonus was not only that he left us a note so we knew where our pets were at in their day with treats & meds, but how clean he left our house (even stripped the bed & put his sheets in the washing machine)! 6/5 stars for Michael D! I HIGHLY recommend!”


“Claire took such good care of my two cats! I appreciated the pictures and videos she sent me, and she was a fantastic job of communicating with me. She also look care of my plants, and she left my home tidier than when she arrived. I will definitely use her again! I highly recommend her’”


“Jerrod was fantastic. Took great care of our pup while we were out of town! We were worried about leaving the pup alone for the first time but everything went smoothly! He sent lots of pics and kept us updated. Chewie had a great time with him! Thank you so much!”


About: I am a college graduate who recently moved back home. With the recent passing of my dog, I decided it would be a good time to connect with other animals and provide them with the care that I gave my dog for the past 9 years. What sets me apart is my reliability and dedication to consistent care. With a structured 9-5 schedule, you can rely on me to be dependable and organized. Having grown up caring for multiple dogs and cats, I have a deep love for animals and a strong understanding of the needs of both young and senior pets. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine, ensuring they feel comfortable and well-cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, or just spending quality time, I always prioritize their well-being. I work 9-5 on weekdays, but I’m available anytime before or after work to care for your pets. I’m also happy to do overnight stays, especially on weekends, which are usually very quiet for me. When caring for pets in my client's home, I make sure to maintain a clean and respectful environment. I’m a very considerate house guest and always follow the house rules to ensure everything stays as comfortable and safe as possible for both the pet and the owners. I have reliable transportation, so I can take the pet anywhere they need to go, whether it’s for a walk, a vet visit, or just an outing. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priority, and I strive to create a stress-free, familiar environment for them while you're away.

“Will is great, he really connected with the dogs stayed in contact the whole time. He was very present to work with and seemed super excited to stay over and play with the pups. Overall a great experience”


About: I’ve always had experience with cats and dogs; I specialize in longer walks, which some may constitute as hikes! My dog is a bit too small and old for hikes but I would love to help other dogs get that energy out in a beneficial way. I have experience with senior dogs, and some puppy experience. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I am a college student focusing on my education which gives me plenty of flexibility and free time to take care of pets! I can crate dogs if that is a preference although I am very open to just spending time sitting or playing with them as well!

“Kristen did a great job taking care of our cat while we were gone, which included giving her medication twice a day. She sent lots of pictures and our cat loved Kristen. We will definitely ask her to watch our cat again in the future!”


“Tati was amazing! Benji took to her kind playful personality immediately. She sent us pictures while they were hanging out. I knew he was in good hands! We will definitely contact her again!”


“My dogs are absolutely obsessed with Melody!! She's so reliable and takes them on daily long walks, I couldn't be more happy to have found her :-)”


“Anastasia was awesome!! She sent lots of great pics and updates and the house was very well kept when we returned. Will definitely book again!”


“James was amazing! He went above and beyond and his son taught us a new trick, that we have been working on with our pup! Would absolutely have James watch our pup in the future!”


About: With a lifelong passion for pets, I have extensive experience in caring for both dogs and cats, young and old. Growing up in a household with multiple pets, I have developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. Over the years, I have owned and cared for various breeds, ensuring they receive the best care, attention, and love. I have also had plenty of experience taking care of puppies of different neighbors growing up. From daily walks and playtime to grooming and health monitoring, my hands-on experience has equipped me with the skills to provide exceptional pet care. My commitment to their well-being drives me to offer reliable and compassionate service to fellow pet owners. I am currently home from college and working a full time job, however, I am remote most days of the week. I have plenty of time in the day to take care of an animal and would love to meet your pets! In my home, I ensure pets receive consistent and attentive care by establishing a daily routine. This includes feeding them nutritious meals at regular times, providing fresh water, and maintaining a clean environment. I prioritize playtime and exercise to keep them physically and mentally stimulated, tailoring activities to their preferences and energy levels. Regular grooming and health checks are part of my routine to ensure they remain clean and healthy. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I offer personalized services to match their specific needs and routines. I begin by discussing their pet's habits, preferences, and any special requirements. In the client's home, I adhere to their established feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific care instructions provided. I ensure the pet's living area is clean and comfortable and provide companionship and attention to ease any separation anxiety. My goal is to create a seamless and stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners, ensuring pets feel secure and loved whether they're in my home or their own.

“Justina was really wonderful. 5 out of 5 stars on everything... communication, conscientiousness, cleanliness, loving and caring for my dog, and willingness to do anything. Highly recommend!”


“Julianna was wonderful, highly attentive, caring, took care of Ollie like her own.”


“Gavin did an incredible job updating us every day with photos of our golden girl! Excellent sitter, 100% recommend for your future home sitting and pet sitting needs.”


“We did a little one night test run with Teresa for our pup who has pretty bad separation anxiety and it went so well! Our very excitable pup was instantly calm upon meeting Teresa for the first time and settled in so well. Teresa is super communicative and we felt totally comfortable having her stay in our home. We’re so glad to have found a reliable sitter!”


About: Hi, I’m Amanda! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s excited to help care for your pets like they’re my own. I currently work full-time during the week and am looking to offer pet care on the side, especially evenings and weekends. I’ve cared for neighbors’ pets, my sister’s dog, and homes for extended periods. I’m reliable, easygoing, and great at communicating, which I know is key when trusting someone with your furry family. Whether your pet needs a walk, some playtime, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’m here to help. I also offer light house sitting duties if needed. Feel free to reach out with any questions I’d love to learn more about your pets and how I can support you! I am unable to care for pets in my own home but safety, trust, and environment is super important to me! I will always follow instructions and will always respect the house rules and guidelines provided. I work full-time during the week, but I’m usually available in the afternoons/evenings after 5 and on weekends. I’m using Rover as a fun side gig because I genuinely love animals and want to spend more of my free time with them! I’ll make sure your pet still gets the time, care, and attention they need. I always prioritize comfort, safety, and trust. I’ve watched family pets, house sat for neighbors, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I’ll happily follow your pet’s routine whether that includes crate time, meds, or snuggles and keep you updated with plenty of photos!

“Martha and her other rover pup stayed in my home for a week to take care of my 13+ year old black lab Sammy. Everything was perfect, Sammy was pampered with walks, treats, pets and a new friend! The house was immaculate upon my return!”


About: My parents ran a German shepherd dog breeding business when I was growing up. I helped deliver puppies and tend to our 5+ adult dogs and litters of puppies from a young age. In college I worked seasonally for a dog daycare and boarding facility. Post college I worked for a dog trainer and took dogs on hikes in the woods. Since then, I have had multiples dog sitting gigs. I’ve also raised and taken care of cats throughout my life. I’m very intuitive around animals. I work part time, and have most Mondays and some Fridays off. I am off on Saturdays and Sundays. I am unavailable Tuesday-Thursday most weeks. My work is flexible if given enough time in advance. I am very flexible and am able to cater to whatever your pet needs. I am comfortable adapting to the needs of your furry friend!

Burger (6 yr large dog) & Fig (3 yr old indoor/outdoor cat) have been so well taken care of by this gem of a human - they go on walks together, snuggle in bed, play with all the toys... i know when i need short or long term care that i can count on her and not have any worries. She checks in about boundaries and sends the cutest photos. Im so grateful to have her around and you will be too!”
