“Amber took great care of my senior cat. He takes medicine 3 times a day and she was ON it. I came home to a calm, happy kitty. She communicated, sent pictures, and was just a great care provider!”


“So Diane is absolutely the best dog sitter we have ever had. Our elderly dog (Puddles) ended up having some medical issues while Diane was taking care of her, and Diane did an outstanding job taking care of our Puddles during this time. Puddles is doing fine and we truly appreciate Diane keeping Puddles. We highly recommend Diane taking care of your pets. She is someone you can trust! Thanks again.”


“Amy was super great with our 2 fur babies, both diabetic. She kept me updated and sent me pictures to ease my mind about leaving them, since I worry so much! She is great and we will be using her again to house sit for us!”


About: With years of experience in high-end dog training, sitting, and walking, I offer more than just pet care—I provide expert, personalized attention for your dog. I understand canine behavior on a deep level, ensuring your pup feels safe, engaged, and loved while you're away. Whether it’s reinforcing good manners, going on structured walks, or providing calm companionship, I treat every dog like my own. I currently work from home with a flex work schedule, which makes me available for pet care anytime. I can work my schedule to be tailored to your pets needs. I have a large back yard and dogs of my own to keep your fur baby company. For walks, I tailor each to your fur baby’s needs, spending more time outside with high energy dogs, and taking shorter walks for older pets. All walks and care come with the most snuggles.

About: Hello there, fellow animal lovers! I’m Maddie, your friendly neighborhood animal enthusiast. I have a dog of my own, Dutchie is a German shepherd mix. I am capable of administering medication if applicable and friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and provide overnight stays with their animals. I currently work full time Monday-Friday 7am-4pm. I am available for overnight stays preferably Friday-Sunday but I am willing to accommodate your needs. Just let me know! Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I will make sure to check in with you and provide lots of photos to let you know your babies are in good hands.

About: Hey there, I’m Danielle, 36, of Belleville. I’m a mother of 6 human children and only 2 fur children right now. That’s really saying something because I’ve always had plenty of animals around me. My family has been on the right side of animal empathy for as long as I can remember. As a family we’ve volunteered and fostered for the local humane society. We’ve found ourselves in the face of wounded and homeless creatures more times than I could count that we’ve taken in graciously and to the best of our ability. These experiences have taught us so much about animal care. My experience also ranges far beyond dogs and cats. I do have experience with many reptiles and mammals as well, caged and uncaged. I am a full Time student and mother. Caring for pets full time fits naturally into the routine. I’m available as much or as little As needed while you’re away. I want to create a similar environment for your pet to their normal routine. Pet parents being away creates an anxiety I would strive to calm in your absence and consistency is important for them. Walks, spending time with them, frequent potty breaks, and feeding routines are something I would want to mimic of your current habits as best as possible. As a home owner myself, I’m aware and experienced with red flags of home security and maintenance. Providing a lifeline to your other most valuable assets left behind can offer a peace of mind while you are away.

“Jordan was wonderful! Great communication before and during her care for our dog and cat. She regularly sent us pics and let us know how our anxious ones were doing while we were away. I definitely would recommend her and will book with her again.”


About: I've always pet sat for my friends and family. I started when I was in high school. I sincerely just love animals and it makes me happy to help others being around pets. I just do Doordashing in my free time. So I can work the two apps around each other! I started Rover last year but stopped to try other things instead and take care of my health more. I'm currently down 110lbs and ready to take care of your beautiful animals! I have my two cats right now. I'm also the one my friends and family always ask to take care of their pets when on vacation. I'm the type of person to stop and move the turtle out of the road or help a lost dog find it's way back home.

“Phil has watched our pups on numerous occasions and done a great job. He regularly keeps us updated on how they are doing and they always seem happy when we get home. It’s really nice knowing they are in good hands when you are out of town.”


About: Hi there! My name’s Jordan, and animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently share my home (and couch!) with 2 energetic dogs and 3 hilarious, personality filled cats. They’re not just pets to me, they’re family. Growing up with animals taught me the importance of patience, playtime, and knowing when a belly rub or a quiet cuddle is exactly what they need. Whether your pet is high-energy and loves fetch or a shy cuddle bug who just wants some company, I take the time to understand their unique personality and needs. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, so I do everything I can to make the experience stress free for both you and them. I treat every animal I care for like one of my own, because I know how much love they bring into our lives. Let’s make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away! I'm fortunate enough to work from home so i'm always available and easy to contact. I will be 110% devoted to your animals and I will make my schedule fit around your needs. I do not offer boarding because i'm currently living on the Warren Airforce Base BUT, I can assure you that your home, dogs, and belongings will be protected and taken care of.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child and enjoyed every minute of them. I provide a caring atmosphere to keep them calm and make them feel at home. I currently work part time with a very flexible schedule. Would love to watch your pup short notice or scheduled notice. They can stay a short time or for the weekend I have a six acre yard with a sweet dog who will keep your pet company and active. Lots of places to walk or chill

“Dannie was amazing. This was my 1st time using Rover or having a sitter in my home. Dannie kept me updated throughout the day as well as sent lots of pictures. It was reassuring knowing that I didn't have to completely disrupt my fur baby's daily routines while I was away. Will definitely be using Dannie again.”


“Rebecca did a great job house sitting our pup, Jaz. We set up a meet and great a week before hand. She was on time and so friendly. While gone, she sent us updates and pictures of Jaz. She also gave Jaz her medication and eye drops for the week. We came home to a happy dog, excited to us! Would recommend her for anybody’s pets. Looking forward to booking Rebecca again!”


About: I grew up around dogs and cats. I love spending time with my own and would love to care for yours while you are away! I work full time Monday through Friday but can be flexible with mornings and afternoon check ins during the week with plenty of time for walks and playing in the evenings or weekends. I have elementary aged children that are animal lovers and can also offer extra play time unless you do not want kids around your pets. We are flexible and happy to spend free time with animals! I follow the pet owner’s guidance for check ins, play time, house rules, and pet needs. I am open and flexible to do what you and your pet need to feel safe and cared for while you are away!

About: I have had animals my whole life and have taken care of many different breeds of dogs. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets for different periods of time. I have two brown tabbies of my own! I work as an educator at a high school so I am available during the school year after 3pm! I do have a weekend job that I work as well but the times are switched so I’m more available in the day time and not as free in the evenings. I have my own home and live in a quiet town where people regularly walk their animals! I love to get out and about outside so walks are a daily occurrence for me!

About: I have fostered several puppy after we lost our German Shepherd at the age of 3. Although we were devastated, fostering helped us and our remaining pup to heal. We foster failed with two pups and recently added another GSD so our family. I love the dog mom life. I work from home so I have availability to see about my babies and yours, very often. They are my companions, my therapy and my sanity. Since I have 4 pups of my own I would not want to dog sit at my home but will gladly see to your pet’s needs in the comfort of their own home.

“Originally I had Jordan walk my husband's dog a few times a week. But after seeing how happy the dog was when he played with him I decided to ask if he would be kind enough to watch them for a few days while we traveled. He said he would love to and the rest was history! My husband's dog has never bonded with someone so quickly, I highly recommend Jordan for any services he offers on here, he's such a sweet & thoughtful young man.”
