“I booked Lindsay back to back weeks for drop-in visits. Lindsay was so great with all 3 of our dogs. They were so happy to see her. She was on time, walked, fed and played with them and sent the best pictures. I highly recommend Lindsay and will be using her again.”


“Erin was very responsive and came to look after my puppy when I needed Last Minute coverage. She sent lots of pictures and was very communicative throughout. Really appreciated her care!”


About: My wife and I have been loving and caring owners to our 4+ year old special needs Berner, Sherlock for 4 years, and I previously had a beagle, Kylie. I work from home and am able to provide the proper care and attention. Please let us know if your dog has any special requirements, we will require a meet and greet to ensure our dogs will work well together. I work from home and able to take the dogs out throughout the day. We typically will walk our dog at least 1-2x per day, and for longer walks as the weather gets cooler. My wife is also home at least a few days each week, and we’re both around on weekends to care for your dog like our own. We have a large fenced in backyard and will follow any instructions or recommendations you have. If your dog needs to be crated or has any specific requirements, just let us know.

About: Hi ! My name is Britt! I have had a furry companion before I could walk! I am a mom of a black pug who is my best friend. I know If I needed a sitter I’d want someone I could trust to love him as much as I do when I wasn’t there. In your case that’s me. Your dog deserves the best care while you have peace of mind. I have been a dog walker for 10 years. I feel comfortable enough now to take the dog walking to the public, which is why I’m so glad I found rover! I can’t wait to meet your dog and you !! I work 9-4 as a closing officer. I have a flexible remote/inoffice position . I can customize my schedule around your dogs needs! The pups come first in my book! I have a pug and he is literally the king of the castle. I always watch him while he goes outside in the back yard . I always make sure all gates are locked before letting him out. I have a pool so we have a fence with a lock on it to ensure his safety. Making sure your pet has clean water/ treats and is fed on the times your comfortable with. Lots of love at all times which just comes naturally for me with any dog! Count on videos and pictures to be sent to you whenever I am with your dog!

“Brianna is great! She came for a drop in to let our dogs out & to feed them. She followed all of our instructions, and the dogs were happy to see her! She came for a introductory visit before I booked her, and I can tell she loves animals. Looking forward to our next visit! Thanks again!”


“Brandi took care of my three pups for the day recently. She was very thorough and conscientious. My oldest dog had just had surgery so there was extra concern there about trying to keep them from playing too rough. It also involves keeping them I. Separate sleeping areas so that the other two wouldn’t lick his sutures. She handled all of this extra work very well.”

About: From fish and frogs and hamsters to dogs and cats I have had and also taken care of many different animals. I had a yellow lab growing up for 17 years and she was mine and my family’s whole world. Now I spend my time taking care of friends pets when they are away and my neighbors two adorable cats. One of which was adopted as an outdoor stray so he sometimes comes over to my house for some food, belly rubs, and a nap. I was always the go to person for my neighbors for pet sitting and I hope to expand my services and love for animals to a wider range. I work as a chemistry teacher and do not currently have a Summer job so my availability is flexible. There are times where I may have other obligations so clear and advanced communication is greatly appreciated! I am available to visit 1-4 times a day and happy to go for walks twice a day. I will typically visit morning/early afternoon to later afternoon/early evening. But I can stop by at different times if needed such as for specific feeding or medicine times. From past experience I know that every animal is different in both personality and needs. Whether that is feeding at certain times, certain food preparation, or just having a calm demeanor. Just like being a teacher, I am accommodating and would love to provide proper care for each individual animals needs. I also check and double check any directions and will make sure to provide the care that your pet needs.

“Laura is absolutely amazing! Not only did she inform us of our baby but took the most amazing care of him! Wish I could give 10 stars! We will definitely be hiring Laura for the future!”


About: I have taken care of a variety of dog breeds and pets for years. I have been entrusted by neighbors, family, and friends to care for their pets' specific needs and wants. No request is too big or small to provide for the joy returned to me whether it's my own fur babies or yours. I have time at the moment to help as many pets as possible. I can try my best to accommodate whatever time you may need. I am unable to host pets in my apartment. So while I miss my own pets back home, I can help some busy owners give some attention and enrichment to their pets.

About: I’ve owned my late dog Rudy for 20 years. My neighbors have relied on me before to pet sit & walk their dogs!

Eric & Valerie F.
“Val and Eric took care of our dog while we went away for a week. The sent us photos everyday and videos of our dog just LOVING their fenced in back yard. Zoomies galore! Their dog Sherlock is the sweetest gentle giant and our dog loved being with him. Val and Eric treated our dog like their own and we weren't once concerned about her while we were away. The only concern we did have was when we took her home and realized she likes their yard better than ours :) She'll be back to enjoy is again soon.”


Brittany A.
“Brittany is the best! I went away to Thailand for 3 weeks and left my dog in her care, as nervous as I was being away from him I was updated multiple times a day with photos and videos of the walks and play time. Constant communication and even worked with me downloading whatsapp since I was out of country. She loves dogs, has a great sense of humor and I will definitely be using Brittany again in the future! Thanks again Brittany for everything =)”

“Heather is absolutely the most wonderful pet sitter I have ever had! I have dogs, cats, and chickens and Heather has taken amazing care of my zoo every time. Our family has hired Heather numerous times and she has always been a blessing and delight. She goes above and beyond for all her clients, giving me updates and taking care of my house and I never had a single moments worry while I was on vacation.”

Stephanie V.

“Stephanie was great and I would highly recommend her. Perfect job. Thank you very much!”


Danielle W.
“If you are in need of a carer for your pets, look no further. I have known Danielle for over a decade and in that time I saw her care for her elderly dog, befriend a neighborhood cat who now visits almost daily, and saw her interact with my own animals. The care she gave to her elderly dog is how I want to be treated when I am up there in my years, the neighborhood cat at this point has basically adopted Danielle, and there is no one I would trust more than Danielle to take care of my adorable pup.”

Brian P.
“I have 5 dogs with my wife and I and Brian is always the first person I call when we need a dog sitter. My dogs love him and he always cares for my dogs like his own. There is never a problem when we're away and I know my dogs will be safe with him. It's hard to trust people to care for your dogs the same as you do but I feel Brian goes above and beyond to put my dogs first and give us peace of mind.”

Kirsten S.
“Kirsten has been such a blessing! We are very cautious and particular with who enters our home and takes care of our 2 fur babies (Bengal cats), but now as consistent clients we feel so at ease while she is taking care of them as she is extremely responsible and personable with them! My partner and I appreciate how trustworthy & reliable she is as we know our babies are safe with her. This puts our minds at ease and there’s zero stress when we are away. We also appreciate her enthusiasm and fun loving energy, as this puts my heart at ease knowing they enjoy her company and have fun with her! We no longer stress about going away or how our fur babies will be without us around- she’s that amazing!”
