Thank you Jay and Julie for making this a comfortable and successful experience!!”


“Bonnie was absolutely great from start to finish. It was my first time away from my fur pal so I was really nervous. After talking to Bonnie I was immediately relieved. She was great with Smokey. I received photos of him daily, short notes letting me know home was safe. This made my vacation well worth it I was really able to relax. I will forever use ROVER AND BONNIE. Thank you so much for a great experience. My flight was also delayed 5 times so I had to rebook and have her come back and she had no issues with this. She even impressed people in the airport with her speedy and attentiveness.”


“Georgia did such a great job with my puppy and was very great at communicating including leaving me a detailed note of everything they did together and sending me pictures. I will definitely ask her to watch amore next time too”


About: I’ve been around dogs all my life and have a ton of experience taking care of them! I own two dogs of my own and have cared for many of my neighbors and friends! i’m always looking for new ways to help out dogs. My family has fostered and helped with transporting dogs in need to shelters, I am very friendly and love getting to play with more dogs! I’m a student athlete, but I only have classes on Tuesday, Thursdays! I am free on monday, wednesday and friday and sundays. Depending on my lacrosse schedule i will have some games in the morning to afternoon but I will definitely have free time! I have experience with big dogs I own a german short haired pointer and a chocolate lab, so I’m not worried about walking or caring for bigger dogs! depending on my schedule I will let you know before hand when I have practices/games. But I will make sure that they are loved and well cared for and I can come over as many times as I can!

About: Hello my name is Bec! I can guarantee that I will take the best care I can of your animal(s) and treat them as my own! I am huge lover of dogs, slobber and all! I have been pet sitting for five years, and also have experience working at a doggy daycare. There I took care of between 15-20 dogs at a time varying in size, energy level, and needs. I have pet sat for as many as 3 pets, and have taken care of cats and dogs together as well. I have taken care of animals from as short as a few days to as long as 3 weeks. I can take care of animals with varying health concerns and will work to meet whatever needs your animal requires for their well being. While house sitting I can attend to all of your household concerns such as garbage/recycling/compost, mail/packages, watering plants, or anything you need to keep your mind at ease while you are away. In addition to house sitting, I would love to take care of your animal for the day, or take them on an adventure! I love taking pups for hikes, going for walks, playing or just lounging around. I am a full time college student and live on campus. I have a varying schedule, but have flexibility for daily walks, cuddles and meals! House sitting is my preferred method of taking care of your pet so I can give them as much attention as possible. I never leave a pet at home for more than 7-8 hours on my busy days, and always strive to take the time on not busy days to make up for the long ones. Know that I will strive to make your pet as comfortable as I can while you are away. I understand the importance of routine and like to understand what your pet needs day to day to ensure that they are at peace while you are gone.

About: Hi! I'm Gabrielle, a passionate animal lover, proud dog mom to my 3 year old pup Yonah, and a full time elementary school teacher who's trading in tiny humans for furry companions this summer! Looking for someone to take your dog on walks, give them lots of love, and keep you updated with adorable photos while you're away? I’ve got you covered! We'll collaborate to make sure your pet has a tail-wagging good time while you’re gone! I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking since elementary school—also helping with fish, frogs, a bird, and a hamster, and eventually convincing my parents I was ready for a dog of my own. My sister and I lovingly cared for our family dog until she was 14, and now Yonah, my own "dog daughter," keeps me on my toes with her sweet, fun-loving spirit that matches mine perfectly. With five years of teaching under my belt, I bring a nurturing, patient, and dependable presence to every pet I care for. Whether your pup loves cuddles, outdoor adventures, or just someone to chill with, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally at home. I live in a 2 bedroom townhome with a fenced in patio and access to beautiful walking trail. I also am near dog parks and around pet friendly businesses if you'd like your pet to be socialized. I'm currently a teacher on summer break, so I have flexibility when it comes to caring for your pup! I want to remain active during my break while also taking time to do the things I enjoy, like taking walks! With my own puppy, I take time after my workdays to take her for walks, playdates, or play time at the dog parks. Whether it's a short lap around the neighborhood or a long stroll through town, I can work with you to fit you and your dog's needs. I am very attentive and am sure to keep an eye out for your pet's safety and comfortability at all times, whether in home or on a walk. I also have a playful, 3 year old mini cockapoo that can keep your dog company on our walks or playdates (if requested).

About: Growing up our family always had dogs and one day I’ll have one of my own. We typically always had 2 around and have experience with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and ages. So if you had a rambunctious husky or a dog that might be a little more fragile & need some extra care I’ll be your guy. I’m currently working a full time sales job however there is lots of down time throughout the day to help with your pets needs. Wednesday’s and Sundays are my days off from my full time gig and usually open any morning before 10am and evenings after 5pm. My apartment does allow dogs if you need boarding for a weekend. I take pride in my work and live by the motto “leave it better than you left it”. If your pets are in my home I have a spacious 2 bedroom apartment so pets will have plenty room for play and have a large field just down the street.

About: With over six years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to each pup’s unique needs. From playful puppies to senior dogs and those with special needs—including mobility challenges, vision or hearing impairments—I’ve had the privilege of supporting a wide range of dogs. You can count on me to keep your dog safe, comfortable, and happy during their stay. My current schedule allows me to offer flexible, personalized care for your pet. I’m available any day or time, and any unavailable dates will be clearly blocked on my Rover calendar. I care for pets with the same love and attention I give my own. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your pet’s routine, provide a safe and comfortable environment, and make sure they get plenty of play, walks, and affection.

About: With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels, I bring a calm, confident presence that pets (and their owners) can trust. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime in the yard, or overnight pet sitting, I treat every dog like my own—with patience, love, and lots of belly rubs! I’ve worked with senior pups, energetic puppies, and everything in between. You can count on me for reliable care, daily updates, and a happy, wagging tail at the end of the day. My job is extremely flexible—I mostly work from home and have the freedom to take frequent breaks throughout the day. That means I can easily fit in walks, playtime, feedings, and check-ins without any disruption to your pet’s routine. Whether it’s a midday stroll or some extra attention during the day, I’m able to give pets the consistent care and companionship they need. Having animals around actually makes my day better, and I love incorporating pet care into my daily schedule! I focus on maintaining their normal routine in a familiar environment. I follow your instructions closely—whether it's feeding schedules, medication, walk times, or bedtime routines—to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I treat every home with respect, keeping things tidy and secure, and making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. From morning walks to nighttime snuggles, I’m there to provide consistent care and keep your pet’s stress to a minimum. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that everything is going smoothly.

“Jenna & Shane are the best! Our "fraidy cat," Luke usually hides from people, and it can take him a while to relax and trust new folks. He LOVED Jenna & Shane. They were patient and attentive and took great care of him. I could see from the photos how happy and relaxed Luke was. Not at all a fraidy cat! Highly recommend!”


“Can’t say enough about how awesome Jodie was. This was our first time getting a pet sitter, and we were very concerned because one of our dogs is very skittish and barks at every new person. Jodie took the time to meet our dogs beforehand so that they would feel comfortable. Jodie was so very patient and made sure that our “problem child” was well taken care of. Would definitely use Jodie again - she was just fantastic!!!!”
