“Lisa took great care of Lulu. It usually takes her a few days to bounce back to normal after boarding, but after the week with Lisa she was her normal self right away. Eating, sleeping and playing like her normal self. Lisa was also great about communicating with us during Lulu’s stay with her. Will definitely book with Lisa again.”



“Our boys love going to Debra’s so much!! Bear knows when we pull up to her house it’s playtime!! We’ve been taking Bear since he was a puppy (he’s now almost 3) and now our new puppy Moose stays there as well and they both just have the best time and come home exhausted from all the playing! Thank you Debra for loving our pups as much as we do!! 🫶🏻”


“Cindy was great! I was in a pinch and needed to find someone quick. I was a little nervous, at first, because Kelly can get really anxious with strangers. I'm so glad I found Cindy and her family...Kelly had a great time!”


“Nicole was amazing. We booked last minute and had a wonderful meet and greet. She made us feel so much more comfortable while on our 7 day vacation by sending us daily updates and pictures and even celebrated our Nova’s 2nd birthday. We will be forever grateful to have found Nicole and we will definitely book for future trips.”


“Sharon helped me a lot I got canceled on last minute and she got me in and helped with my situation my flight also got delayed and she bared with me on that too I would highly recommend her will definitely book again”


“Wonderful sitters! They were so welcoming and gave my babies Jasmine and Remi plenty of attention and love. I got updated photos during their stay so I could see how much fun they were having.”


“I am so happy with the care and attention that Ashley showed my sweet boy. This was my first time using anybody outside of family to dog sit. I have a very anxious boy and I’m an even more anxious dog mom, but she made me feel very comfortable and my boy settled with her quickly. I will definitely use Ashley for any of my future dog sitting needs!”


“This is our first experience with Rover and Autumn & Caleb. We had several concerns with one of our three dogs even after a meet & greet a few days prior to our one night trip away. This was a “test flight” for a couple much longer trips we are taking in the very near future. A &C made this go super easy. We are very comfortable with our Disney trip in a few weeks over Christmas/New Year. THANK YOU!!!”


“Champ came home got along well with Edgar’s dogs, Kya and Roo, and came home completely tuckered out. He enjoyed his time in the doggie swimming pool and playing tug of war. Edgar even made him some pumpkin and peanut butter cupcakes to take home! 10/10 will book with him again!”


“Emily did a fantastic job watching my pup, especially considering he got injured right before his stay! I felt like he was in safe hands with her! Will definitely be returning.”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of personal care, patience, and experience I bring to every pet I work with. I treat each animal like family and take the time to learn their specific routines, preferences, and personalities—whether they’re high-energy puppies or slower-paced senior pets. I have experience with: • Puppy training (potty training, crate introduction, leash behavior) • Administering medication (oral and topical, including to senior dogs or those with special conditions) • Anxiety-prone dogs, helping them stay calm during storms or when their owners are away • Basic grooming, such as brushing, ear cleaning, and wiping paws after outdoor time I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely love caring for animals. Whether your pet needs a playmate, a walking partner, or just someone to cuddle and make them feel secure, I’m here to help. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’m organized and flexible, so I can easily adjust my schedule for walks, feedings, playtime, or any special needs. It’s something I love doing consistently throughout the week. In my home, pets have a safe, clean space and plenty of attention. I stick to their routine with walks, play, and feeding. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions and make sure their pet feels comfortable, cared for, and right at home.

About: My whole family has had dogs at some point. I have grown around big, medium, and small dogs. I am outside a lot and will make sure your dog has a great time under my care. I am home a lot of the time so taking care of a dog works great in my schedule. I am very attentive and will make sure your dog has all his/her needs meet! I have strong leadership skills and communication skills towards dogs. I would carry out certain training methods that you would do for your own dog to make sure good habits are kept and maintained!

“This was our first time using Rover.com, and Mark was great. He took our dog for a walk and seemed to genuinely care about our pet. We recommend him as a petsitter!”


About: My family has always had pets especially puppies and dogs. They truly have a special place in my heart. I love them more than people at times lol I've always treated mines like my children and will definitely love and care for yours as my own... I am currently unemployed. I worked 12yrs at Jeep and now I have nothing but time to adjust my schedule as needed to care for your fur baby. I have a fenced backyard for outside time. I also live in a relaxing neighborhood great for walks and they love animals in my neighborhood as well..

About: My love for animals started early and runs deep. I grew up with my family dog, raising her from a few months old to 15 years old. In my life from when I was 7 to 22, we truly grew up together. I cared for her as a playful puppy and again as a senior when she lost her hearing and sight. That experience shaped who I am today and continues to inspire my passion for caring for pets of all ages and conditions. Since then, I’ve dog-sat for both family and friends, including multi-day stays in my home and house-sitting for up to three dogs at once while their owners were away. I also have experience cat-sitting and am comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, especially small to mid-sized breeds. I bring a calm, attentive energy to every pet I meet, treating them with the same care and affection I gave my own. With a part-time work schedule, I have plenty of time to provide attentive, consistent care. I'm primarily available on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and can accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening needs. Whether your pet needs short walks, drop-ins, or longer overnight stays, I can offer a flexible schedule that keeps them happy and well-cared for. I strive to create a safe, comfortable space where pets feel at home. I have a large fenced-in yard perfect for playing fetch, supervised outdoor time, or just lounging in the sun. When it comes to exercise, I adapt to each pet’s needs—whether that’s a long walk or gentle indoor play. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions carefully, including feeding, medications, and daily routines. I’m attentive to details and always aim to make your pet feel secure and loved. I’ll also keep in touch with regular updates and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away.

“Charlie looks forward to going over! He gets spoiled and pampered when he's there. She's our go to baby sitter everytime we go out of town. We always get quick responses and we also receive pictures through out the day. If you need a baby sitter this is the perfect place to be.”


About: I have always had a love for animals. My husband calls me Snow White because even ducks follow me. Everywhere I go animals follow me. I am a stay at home mom so I can devote all my attention to the fur babies. Your babies are my babies under my watch. I will take care of them like they are one of my babies. I currently have two tea cup pups and a shih Tzu mix. I have a fenced in yard and am home to take of them constantly. I have two tea cup pups and a shih Tzu mix

“Tara went above and beyond. She sent pictures and videos. Plus my hyper puppy came back home tired. Tara truly cares about the work that she does and even picked up and dropped off my Great Dane puppy. I will definitely be using her services again in the very near future.”


About: I work from home and have time to walk or care for other dogs. I first walked dogs at the age of 12. I’m the primary caregiver for our ten year old goldendoodle, Cupcake, who continues to be full of energy! If your dog enjoys other dogs, we can take breaks and explore the neighborhood with Cucpcake. I have experience tiny dogs up to med/large (Cupcake is 75lbs). I enjoy walking Cupcake and other dogs as it gets me out and a break from my day. I currently work full time and can walk or board dogs nearby. I’m able to take breaks and take your pet out during the workday. We have a big fenced in backyard for dogs to go out and use the restroom as needed. I have children and a goldendoodle who love playing with other dogs.
