About: I am a teacher and have summers off! Let me and my sweet daughter help take care of your pet this summer. We are too busy during the school year to justify having our own pet, so let us spoil yours! I have lots of availability this summer- let's work something out! Just reach out and we can get something on the calendar- whether you need over night care or your furry friend needs a walk. We have a partially fenced in yard. We live close to the trial, so we will go on many walks. We have a leash outside as well as room to crate inside.
“Martina is the best and Scout loves hanging out with her! She is open and accommodating to Scout’s needs. Whether it’s going to an open area to romp and letting him chase bugs to hanging out the porch couch cuddling; Martina is down. She is a true dog person. 🐶”

“This was our second time having Zhalih and I couldn't be happier. She is absolutely amazing with my cat, Frazier. It's clear that she genuinely loves animals, she goes above and beyond to make sure he's not just cared for but entertained and happy. She even took care of his wrestling match with his litter! It's little things like this that show us just how wonderful people can be. My husband and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter, especially one that truly cares. She is the best!”

About: Hi there, I am pet sitting dogs and around dogs since I was a kid! I am a lover of all dogs and enjoy spending time playing, walking, and cuddling with all fur babies! I am currently a full time social worker with availability in the early mornings, evenings, and weekends for drop in visits, walks, and house sitting. I am comfortable spending time in other peoples homes. I have two sweet dogs of my own that mean the world to me, so I understand how important trusting and loving pet care is!
“Andrew and Haley were perfect! They dropped in on my cat for a weekend and were very thorough with their petsitting. Most importantly, my cat Dino trusted them and was very comfortable. They fed him and played with him during their visits. Would definitely book them again!”

“Alyssa is amazing! She sends detailed updates with lots of pictures and I never have to wonder how things are going. I knew my kitten was well taken care of while I was gone and I didn’t have to worry while on vacation.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child and love animals. I currently don’t have any pets of my own because since we just put our two old poodles down I’m currently retired and have an open and flexible schedule. Weekends, weekdays, mornings, middays, and nights. I’m generally not available from midnight to 6 AM As a retired pet lover with a flexible schedule, I care for pets in their own home where they feel safest and most comfortable. I stick to their normal routine—meals, walks, playtime, and even meds if needed—to keep things low-stress while you’re away. I keep things calm, clean, and consistent, and always treat your pets and your home with respect. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or an overnight stay, I provide the same loving care I’d want for my own pets
“Kelley is so reliable and was able to care for our 2 kitties with a last minute booking. Thank you Kelley for always being so attentive and thorough when taking care of our babies!”

About: I have had cats my whole life and I currently have 4 cats. All 4 are friendly lap cats and very bonded with me. They are “my boys”. I also have experience with a full size golden doodle and dog sit her when needed. I am a foster cat mom and enjoy volunteering in this role. I have a flexible job as I work out in the community.

About: I’m an animal science major with plans to pursue veterinary medicine, and caring for animals—especially dogs—is truly what lights me up. During high school, I was the go-to neighborhood dog walker, caring for dogs ranging from large breeds to small pups, which helped grow my confidence and love for working with all kinds of dogs. I also have four years of hands-on experience in a busy dog daycare, where I’ve worked with pups of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—from energetic zoomie experts to shy cuddle bugs. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique quirks and making them feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just some extra belly rubs, I treat every dog like they’re my own. My goal is to make your pup’s time away from you feel fun, comfortable, and exciting. I currently work at a dog shelter where my shifts are either from 7am-12pm or 4-9pm. I am happy to work around your pups schedule with ahead of time notice! Before, after, and during my break your dog will have plenty of time to potty and play. When I visit a clients home I give all my love and care to them to make sure they feel happy while the owner is gone. I focus on keeping their routine as consistent, safe, and comfortable as possible. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, including feeding times, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions, so they feel secure and stress-free.

About: I have experience caring for dogs with a wide range of needs—from those on strict schedules requiring medication and extra attention, to high-energy dogs who need plenty of exercise, as well as more easygoing pets who simply need love and companionship. I understand that every dog is unique, and I’m committed to following your specific instructions to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy building my schedule around consistency and responsibility. I plan my day to ensure pets are fed on time, get the exercise they need, and receive plenty of attention and care. Whether that means morning walks, playtime during the day, or evening check-ins, I make sure each pet’s routine is followed closely so they feel comfortable and secure. On a weekly basis, I stay flexible to meet each pet’s needs, including longer visits, extended walks, or additional care if needed. I’m very dependable and make pet care a priority, so you can feel confident your dog will be well cared for and treated like family. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions provided, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications or special care needs. I make sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment by giving them plenty of attention, affection, and consistency. I also treat your home with the utmost respect—keeping things clean, secure, and exactly how you left them. I provide updates while you’re away so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: Hi there! I’m Grace and I’ve had experience with dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes since I was a young child. I’ve rescued several litters of kittens and love my rescue pup Drake who is a pit-bull lab mix. I’ve also had experience with pets with food allergies and elderly pets who need medications. I’ve been a pet sitter for friends and family in my hometown and wanted to get back into helping out others with their pets. The services I offer are mainly check-ins and walks but I may be able to do housesitting depending on my schedule! I’m more than comfortable with dogs of all sizes as I’ve had pup from 8 pound teacup yorkies to my 75 pound pit mix. Cats are also extremely welcomed! Thanks for considering me and I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends! I currently work full time, so I have evening check-ins or weekend availability! I may be able to make exceptions depending on the pets needs and my schedule. I will follow any care instructions provided to me to provide comfortable and comprehensive care and make sure to love on them as if they are my own!

“Michele was great! She dropped in over 4 days to feed, administer medication to and clean up after my 4 cats. My cats were well taken care of and happy. Michele is also very responsive to messages and I was never worried. Would definitely recommend her services.”

Normal dog parents share their Rover experiences
Annie took such wonderful care of our boys including walks, managing their special diet, and sending the sweetest update with photos. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were so well cared for. She handled everything beautifully, even cleaned up the yard, and our boys were happy, relaxed, and clearly adored her. We’ll absolutely book with Annie again!

Malia has been great to work with. She was incredibly kind when we met, communicated clearly, and gave updates that were helpful without being overwhelming. She respected my preferences, used good judgment with the weather, and clearly prioritizes the dog’s comfort and safety. Luna took to her right away. I’d absolutely recommend her and will be continuing to work with her.

Renae was amazing! We have 3 senior chihuahua’s who all wear diapers and each have their own special needs and she took care of them with no problems at all. She was even able to win over our most fiesty one who rarely lets others handle him. She left our home spotless even though I know my boys made messes. She was reliable and communicative and it was so wonderful to be able to go away and know they were in good hands. 10/10.

We had a wonderful experience with Kate & Chris taking care of Mika for three days. They were incredibly friendly, caring and patient with our dog which gave us so much peace of mind. We truly appreciate the love and attention they showed and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them would absolutely book drop-in visits with Kate & Chris again
