“Jaylene came the day after our meet and greet to walk our dog Remi! She was easy to communicate with to make plans and schedule. Jaylene took her time to win over Remi, who can be a little shy and skeptical upon meeting someone new. They went for a walk and Jaylene updated me with everything Remi did. Remi and I look forward to our next booking with Jaylene!”
About: I have been pet-sitting for my neighbors, boss, and co-workers since 2010. While I occasionally board pets in my home, I usually provide pet/house-sitting in the customer's home. I walk/feed/brush dogs, administer oral medication if indicated, and spend time playing with them. I also take in mail, water plants, and take out trash/recycling. I am a newly retired teacher, so I am now available full time for all of your pet care needs any time 7 days a week. If I am providing care in my home, I can offer to take dogs for a walk in a nearby state park. I try to keep the pets' feeding and walking schedules consistent with that of the owners.
“Julie did a great job. She and my dog connected right away and I felt safe and secure with having him be in her care. She was responsive, professional and follow-through on all that we agreed on. I highly recommend her and will be calling upon her in the future as the need presents itself.”
About: Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. For over five years, I’ve provided reliable pet care for dogs and cats, from daily walks to overnight stays. I’m experienced with all ages and temperaments, including senior pets and those with anxiety. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe and loved Currently i work a full time job M-F 8-4pm. Open to pet sitting after work. Available all day on weekends. In August I will be starting law school and my schedule will open up to Fridays/Saturdays- Sundays all day I can accommodate pets who prefer alone time or need crating, and I follow any specific routines or instructions to make your pet feel at home. Cleanliness, comfort, and supervision are always a top priority.
About: I have had lots of felines through the years and really love taking care of them. I also love playing with dogs and taking them for long walks. They have lots of energy and love exploring as much as I do. 🐕 I have lots of time to care for and play with your felines, dogs and birds. It is the best time of the year to get outside and explore the area with dogs. We start the day by taking a walk and eating breakfast. Follow the pet's usual walking route unless otherwise instructed. I allow the dog to explore and sniff within safe limits. I provide exercise tailored to the dog's age, breed, and health. I avoid interactions with unknown dogs and people to prevent any potential conflicts.
About: I’ve been caring for both cats and dogs ever since I was 14 years old! I have a 17 year old pitbull, 3 cats, and a foster cat I care and love for at home!! I would love to spend time taking care of your pets!! I have flexible scheduling all year round!! Feel free to contact me about scheduling preferences and I'll do my best to find time for your pets! My home will not be available for pet sitting. However, I'd be happy to visit your home or preferred location to care and look after your pets.
“Our dog Stormy loves her walks with Gabriella who was engaging with her the entire time. Gabriella also made sure the house was left as it was when she first came and did a wonderful job making sure Stormy was comfortable before she left. Would recommend to all my friends and family in need of a dog walker!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for well over 10 years. I myself have a 7 year old and 3 year old dogs, and a 18 month old cat and a 4 month old kitten. Since we’ve had each of our pets since infancy, I’m well versed in the adorable yet tricky stages of pet care like puppy &kitten-hood. I can also care well for senior dogs, just like we loved our 16 year old rescue til she crossed the rainbow bridge two years ago. I’ll be working full time later this summer, but I’m looking to fill my days with your pets until then! I’m unavailable most Sunday mornings, but may be able to make arrangements if necessary. I am happy to keep your dog on a leash, in a fenced in area, or in a crate for your peace of mind at your request. I absolutely love dogs, and would make a fantastic guardian for your older dog, young puppy, dog with separation anxiety, or your family pup that you just cant bring on vacation. I also adore cats. I know each one has such a special personality, and I’d be happy to snuggle & play with them on the couch or let them lounge and entertain themselves, watching from afar. I’ve experienced the anxiety of being away from them, so I’m glad to send you pictures or texts to help you feel comfortable while apart. I look forward to getting to know your pawfect family member!
About: Hi! If you’re wondering what my experience is in animal care, I currently work at a doggie daycare/ boarding facility. I work full time but do my best to fit in my rover clients especially with the summer coming up. I can confidently say your furry family member will be in the best care with me. Not only am I comfortable with dogs and cats but reptiles as well. During my time at the kennel I do daily tasks such as cleaning, learning canine/feline behavior, administering medications/insulin. I also am familiar with tending to medical emergencies such as heat strokes and seizures. I have no preference and love all sizes and breeds (although those big breeds will always have my heart). I can’t wait to get to know you and your furry friends! I currently work full time but I do my best to be flexible around most schedules. The summer time is a very busy confusing time especially with working at a dog kennel. Please contact me for further questions or concerns. I have a fenced in yard at home. But have no issues coming to your home or visiting to take care of your fur babies.
“Very knowledgeable. Very patient and friendly”
About: I'm Rai (he/him)! I am a proud cat dad to Luca -- he is my whole world. I will treat your pets like my own, send you picture updates, play with them, sing them little songs, and accommodate their needs! I'm the go-to pet sitter for my friends & family and would love to be your go-to person as well :) I'm currently working part-time and freelancing, so my schedule is flexible! I typically have a lot of availability on Tuesdays and Thursdays and in the evenings. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, medications, or playtime. I respect your home and your pet’s routines, including any rules about where they’re allowed to be. I’ve got experience with my own cat, Luca, who used to love jumping on tables—so I understand how to gently reinforce boundaries and make sure your pets are safe and comfortable while you're away.
About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was a kid. I’ve been dog walking and house sitting since I was 10. I’ve walked all types of dogs from small to big. I’m also a pet owner myself and have been a proud dog owner for over 10 years. I’m currently working part time so my schedule is fully available for any of your needs. My dog is friendly with others and loves to play with others I have a yard where dogs can play and I also believe in taking dogs out to open spaces to allow them to get their energy out. There’s a big field behind my house where I love to take my dog to.
“Mike has been great! Very responsive, helpful, and great with our dog! He’s been really reliable, especially with our ever changing schedule.”
“On time, communicative, able to accommodate us fairly.”
“Cheyenne went above and beyond my expectations. I immediately felt comfortable when with meeting her. Sometimes you just know an animal person when you meet them. She took my dog for a long walk, played with him and took lots of pictures which my dog looked very happy in. I will definitely use Rover and seek her availability next time.”
About: I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I’ve had dogs, cats, and other pets my entire life. I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for over 15 years. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, and of course cuddling your fur members of the family. If there are other tasks you need done around the house when I’m pet sitting, don’t hesitate to ask, chances are I am more then happy to do it. I am off Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. On Fridays I am off at 2:30 and can accept clients after 3:00. I am available for last minute visits. My husband and I work opposite schedules so someone is always around. PLEASE READ! For boarding at my house I typically like to meet the dogs prior to accepting booking. I have two dogs of my own, a large mix breed ( male) and a medium mix breed ( girl). My dogs have always been around other dogs. During your pets stay at my house they will have access to a fully fenced in yard, free range of house and endless love ! I do request your pets to have flea and tick prevention and be up to date with vaccines. My propety is surrounded by woods and wildlife so I like to be cautious. I feed the dogs I’m boarding in a separate room, and have ample toys for different stimulation. I can send daily updates and pictures. My house also has cameras inside and out to watch when I step out.
“My dog instantly loved her I was nervous as this was my first time and she kindly sent me pictures and texted me that everything was going well.”
About: As a professional dog trainer, I have a deep understanding of canine body language and behavior, allowing me to tailor your dog’s stay to their unique personality and needs. Whether they love playtime, prefer quiet snuggles, or need extra structure, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Every dog is different, and I customize my care to what works best for them! I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of companionship throughout the day. My life revolves around dogs 24/7, with most of my work consisting of Zoom meetings and training sessions. If I do leave, it’s only for 1-2 hours max—but even then, I have a live video camera set up so I can keep an eye on your pup. It even lets me talk to them and dispense treats! Whether they need playtime, enrichment, or a cozy spot to relax, they’ll always have the care and attention they deserve. When your dog stays with me, they become part of the family! I provide a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment tailored to their unique needs. Whether they love to play, relax, or enjoy the outdoors, I adjust their stay to what makes them happiest. In my home, your pup will enjoy: • Dog-Friendly Lake Access – I live on a dog-friendly lake, and during the warmer months, I can even take your pup swimming if that’s something they enjoy! • Constant Companionship – I work from home, so they’re rarely alone. • Live Video Monitoring – If I step out for a short time (1-2 hours max), I have a camera that lets me check in, talk to them, and even give treats. • Crate-Free Environment – Your dog can enjoy their stay without the need for a crate, as I have a dog-proofed home that keeps them safe while preventing them from getting into anything they shouldn’t. • Personalized Care – I understand canine body language and behavior, ensuring their routine fits their personality and comfort level. • Daily Enrichment – Playtime, mental stimulation, and structured activities to keep them engaged. • Cozy & Safe Environment – Whether they prefer a quiet nap spot or an active day, I create a space where they feel at home. Every dog is different, and I make sure their stay is as stress-free and enjoyable as possible!

“Turin was a reliable and loving petsitter for my beagle for many years. She would not just feed my dog, give her water and leave, but spend time with her in my home or in the yard and take her for walks. Any family with a pet would be lucky to have her as a caregiver.”

Sharon D.
“I use Sharon for our dog Zoey all the time. She takes her on long, lively walks where Zoey gets exercise and fresh air. I know she likes to alternate her route because her and Zoey both like exploring. Sharon's great, loving care helps me feel less guilty for leaving Zoey alone all day when I work. She is very reliable and always shows as scheduled. I have also used Sharon for dog sitting services when I travel for business. Her rates are reasonable and she follows my directions precisely. She also sends me plenty of photos so I know Zoey is in good hands while I am away. Thank you Sharon for treating my pet like she was your own!”

Rai D.
“I have never been away from my dog, Bubba, for more than 3 hours and when I met Raisa through a friend, it was like all of my worries were lifted off my shoulders. Raisa took care of Bubba for a 3 whole consecutive days until I came home for bedtime. She walked him three times a day, fed them, played with him (sometimes at dog parks), and kept up with his in-home potty training. It was a lot of responsibility for someone’s first time with my dog and she did an amazing job.”
Seraphim S.
“Seraphim has watched my dog many times, and each time my pup comes back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. He's incredibly caring, diligent, and has a natural way with animals.

Her communication is outstanding, and she treats her dogs as if they were her own, while being flexible and making sure she knows what YOUR dog needs. She has a background in dog training and behavior, which is terrific. She is thoughtful and caring - I am a very nervous dog owner with a high-energy escape artist of a Jack Russell, and Elizabeth did an amazing job of taking care of her (and me!). She was flexible, easy to work with, and gave Tori not just safe, loving care, but also grand adventures! She has a strong understanding of dog behavior and uses that to make sure your dog is superbly taken care of and happy. I recommend her without reservation, and am looking forward to using her again! It is an absolutely fantastic and reassuring thing to know that Tori has a wonderful home away from home.”
