“WE LOVE ANN!!! We had never used Rover before and she made it so easy to understand and helped with dates and times along the way. Ann gave us daily updates, spent the time requested with Samson and just made our vacation time worry free! We appreciate you Ann! Thank you!!”
“Jamie was great and I will definitely use her again. She provided timely updates and pictures. I used her for drop in visits and had no problem trusting her in my home or with my small zoo :)”
“Greta job again!”
About: I've owned pets my entire life. I've cared for all of my pets through senior ages, including managing many variations of care/medications, with compassion. I'm looking forward to helping care for others pets since I no longer have one of my own. Being a hands on dog mom for so many years, I understand how difficult it can be to find a trustworthy care taker to match my care expectations, so I'm hopeful to help others that experience the same for their own fur family member. I work from home 3 days a week, so I'm home 5 out of 7 days. I work 4 miles from my home so can make frequent visits on the 2 days I'm in office. I have no other pets or children in the home. I can care for your pet(s) as if they are in your own home. I can provide frequent bathroom breaks, walks, and medication administration.
“Amazing sitter, my pup loved her and so did I!”
“Miki watched over my three cats for three weeks while I was traveling. I was initially worried about leaving my cats in the hands of someone I didn’t know for so long, but Miki was simply amazing. Previously, one of my three cats would hide from visitors, but Miki was able to get her to socialize on day one. She clearly loves animals, which was evident in her updates, and would always leave us fun details of the social dynamics of the cats that let us knew that she was really paying attention and getting to know them. When I returned, the house was perfectly cared for and the cats were incredibly happy! I will gladly book with her again!”
About: Hi, I'm Harper! I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience in taking care of kittens and small to medium-sized dogs. I understand that every pet is unique and has their own specific needs, whether it's an active dog who needs lots of playtime or a shy cat who needs patience and gentle handling. What makes me different? Genuine Love & Attention – I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. Small & Medium Dog Comfort – I provide dogs with the attention they need, from walks to playtime to cuddle time. Basic Training Fun – My cat is trained to do paw and high-five, so I am patient and enjoy getting pets involved in fun learning! Patient & Gentle Approach – I understand that certain pets require time to warm up, and I’m more than willing to work at their pace. Work From Home Availability – Since I work from home, I can give pets the attention they need throughout the day, so they are always attended to, comforted, and never left alone. I would be happy to look after your pet while you are away! Tell me how I can help. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide your pet with regular attention and care throughout the day. Whether they need playtime, cuddles, or just a quiet presence near them, I’ll make sure that they feel safe and at ease while you’re away. My primary concern is the comfort and well-being of your pet. Whether I am caring for them in your home or welcoming them into my home, I offer a safe, clean, and stress-free environment where they can feel secure and loved.
About: All my life I have cared for animals, but especially dogs. I walk my dogs daily and would take great care to walk yours as well. I am pretty open from 8am to 6pm Monday through Friday. If you have any needs outside these times, please let me know. I live in 75081. I would care for your pet as if it were my own while on our walks. I am not offering boarding services at this time, however will be happy to drop in and check on your baby or house sit while you are away.
“Nicole was awesome to work with! She left detailed notes in the pet updates and was always on time with visits. A great communicator and someone we'll definitely use again in the future!”
“Claire does a fantastic job 10/10 would recommend”
About: Howdy! I've been an animal-lover for as long as I can remember and have been around dogs most of my life. I grew up with our family dog, Princess, who was with us from when I was 2 until I turned 19. During college and since, I've helped take care of, play, and hang out with various roommates’ and friends' dogs - Macey (the muttiest mutt ever), Molly (the sweetest Golden), Chica (a Staffie mix with a penchant for licking), Ralph (a regal beagle/basset mix) - the list goes on! I think dogs are just the absolute best. I met my dog, Phoebe, when she was still a puppy while browsing an SPCA pop-up event and it was love at first snoot. She's a beagle/Jack Russell mix and the best snugglebug. She’s going on 17 with a list of ailments as long as a CVS receipt, but still kickin’ it. She’s taught me a lot about patience, love, and the joys of chasing a squirrel. I understand how much peace of mind a responsible, reliable, and caring pet sitter can bring you when you have to be away from your best companion. Let me bring you that peace of mind! I work full-time, but available most weeknights 5:30pm - 10:00pm. My schedule on the weekends is flexible; I'm typically available 8:00am - 10:00pm Saturdays & Sundays. I have a super senior dog who is dog-friendly, but I would rather keep her environment as calm and routine as possible, so I'm not available for boarding your pet. HOWEVER, I'm happy to drop in and check on your pet in your home! I understand the peace of mind a caring and attentive dog sitter can bring when you're away and strive to provide the best care for your doggo. I can provide playtime, walks, meds, and good ol' fashioned pets and belly rubs. Thanks to my own senior pup, I have a healthy respect for the amount of care it takes to ensure our senior pups are comfortable and happy. I'm detail-oriented and will follow any instructions you leave to a T!

About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs for over 2 years now, no matter the size. A dog is everyone’s best friend. I have great communication skills, assist is continuing dog behavior education and can assist in administering medication if needed. I take willingness to learn dog body postures and behaviors. I’m currently working full time but only work 4 days out of the week. I’m available on the weekends all day and every other Monday and Friday depending on my work schedule.

Then consistently follow that routine while providing attentive care, regular updates, lots of doggy cuddles and clear communication throughout the time I’m sitting.

About: I’m a fairly new dog owner who’s only had a year of experience, but don’t let that fool you. My first pet I’ve ever owned happened to be pregnant, so I’ve had my fair share of puppy care as well. Since I’m new to this life, my perspective on pets are more refreshed than others, and it’s making me learn that every pet deserves the same love I give to my dog. I’’m currently working part time as a server, but I only work 2 days there (one being a half day) so my schedule is very much open throughout the week. My house has a fenced yard (about 3 1/2ft tall) that overlooks a golf course and has a decent amount of running space. There will always be another dog in the house (my sweet girl) but she can be crated if needed. I allow all dogs on the furniture or bed unless instructed otherwise, and will keep a watchful eye on them the entire day (I do nothing at home anyways.)
About: As a dedicated pet sitter with hands-on experience, I’ve successfully potty-trained three dogs and spent a couple weeks working alongside a professional trainer to deepen my skills. My goal is to provide your pets with a safe, loving, and structured environment that feels like home. Whether it’s playtime, training reinforcement, or plenty of cuddles, I’m here to make sure your furry family members are well-cared for and happy while you’re away. I work from home a couple of days a week and I’m 5 minutes from my office so I can run home for potty breaks. I love dog walks, throwing the ball or cuddling on the couch. I have a completely fenced yard with a security camera. I will keep the dogs inside unless it’s potty or playtime. I have a Bernadoodle and he sleeps in the bed with me.
About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs since I was young. I’ve also dog sat for many friends over the years, including a variety of breeds. I am available weekends Friday-Sunday for pet care with evening availabilities during weekdays. I am flexible and willing to work my day around the needs of your home and pet. I want to ensure the highest level of care, so I cater services to the needs of your pet. I try to be home as often as possible to give your pet company and care.

12. Arlie M.
“Arlie has one of the most pure loves for animals I have ever seen. She grew up with dogs and the love and loyalty those dogs have had for her is so amazing to see. I have known Arlie through some of her busiest and hectic times, and she never fails to do what she knows she needs to do whether it is inconvenient to her or not. I have no doubt that whatever pet she has will be the most loved and cared for animal and that love will go both ways.”
