About: I’ve had pets every day of my life, from cats to dogs of all sizes and personalities. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I love making each pet feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, administering medications, and providing companionship tailored to each pet’s needs! I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to be with your pets. I do not have any animals of my own and I only work In my home, pets are welcomed into a safe, comfortable space with plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I keep their routine consistent so they feel right at home. In a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely—feeding, walks, play, litter, or medications—while giving pets the same care and affection they’d get if you were there. I also make sure your home is respected and left just as you like it.
“Tammy was so amazing- took the best care of Rufio- lots of walks, snuggles, tons of photos to keep us up to date every day, and left our house spotless. We adore her and can’t wait for her to be back for future stays!”

“Amber was wonderful! She asked a lot of great questions during the meet n greet, updated us every day while we were gone, and left our place even cleaner than we left it. Maple was well taken care of and we felt at ease with her in Amber’s care. We will definitely book with her again in the future, thank you Amber!!”

“Jada was wonderful with our dogs and kept me updated throughout the day. I think they were really sad to see her leave. I highly recommend Jada as a sitter for your babies.”
“Cady was so great with our animals. Cady was attentive and had great attention to detail. Definitely went above and beyond when watching out pets and took care of them as we would. Will use for future sitting needs for sure.”
“We had Gillian pet sit for our two dogs, one of which does not particularly like new people. She did great and they love her! She was very flexible and accommodating, sending us pictures/videos and messages (as we wanted) throughout our time away. We would highly recommend Gillian and hope to have her help us again in the future!”

About: I’ve regularly helped friends, neighbors, and family members with pet sitting and dog walking. I understand how important routines, safety, and communication are, and I always make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I am available at anytime during the day and evening but the best is to let me know your desired hours and I will check my schedule. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I’m reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s needs and personality. My goal is to help pets feel safe, happy, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.
“Mallory cared for our two large dogs and cat. She was very responsive before and during the stay, sent photo updates, walked the dogs, and everyone was happy and healthy when we returned. She did a great job with our anxious/dog reactive pup.”

“Madison is an excellent sitter! She stayed at our home for 7 days with our two very large and excitable dogs. This is the longest we have ever been away from them in the almost 9 years we’ve had them. We were very anxious as these dogs are our children. Madison was thorough and went above and beyond to make sure that us and our boys had a good experience. She did brushing, gave medication and helped them brush up on some of their training skills. The boys loved her, and her updates gave us great peace of mind. She left our house very tidy, and was considerate of our space. This was my first experience with rover, and Madison knocked it out of the park. Tucker and Toby can’t wait to have her back next time. 100/10 recommend Madison for your furry friends. ❤️”

“Shyla did a great job with my Great Dane, Zeke! He can be a lot to handle, and she was awesome with him. She left my house spotless after her stay, too. Communication was excellent before, during, and after her stay.”

“Brea was a wonderful house and pet sitter! She stayed at our home and cared for our pets for two weeks. She was patient and loving with our pup who is slow to warm up to new caregivers. We would definitely have Brea back as a house/pet sitter!”

About: I grew up working on a farm! Not only am I familiar with training puppies and caring for cats, I also know my way around a barn. I have time in the early mornings and evenings to visit your pets! I am also able to house sit and provide daily exercise to any extent you need! I love to go on walks and adventuring in parks. But I also love just sitting on the couch with a dog or cat :) I am flexible and ready to meet whatever your pet needs!
“Matthew exceeded expectations! Not only is he professional, but it’s also clear that caring for dogs is a full time passion. My pup, Cooper, loved him and Matthew even took time to train him. I will definitely be booking again and recommending him to all my pet owning friends. Very grateful to have you in the area Matthew!”

“Summari was great! Super communication and preparation: she took the time to come a day early to meet Missi and learn her routine, sent pictures along the way and loved on my pup well. Thanks a million!”


“Kami was great! She was very receptive to the needs of my reactive dog and kept me updated on how he was doing throughout the trip. She left my house in perfect condition and both of my dogs loved her. I’ll definitely hire her again!”

Northwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Taryn is an absolutely amazing dog sitter. One of my dogs had an unexpected emergency and needed to go to the vet, and Taryn handled the situation perfectly with calm, care, and professionalism. She kept me informed, made sure my dog got the care they needed, and went above and beyond during a stressful situation. She is incredibly dependable and takes excellent care of the dogs as if they were her own. I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in such good hands. I highly recommend Taryn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.
