“Alec was amazing! He was great at communicating and sending pictures of our two dogs. He made sure they were fed, taken out routinely and loved on. He also left our house cleaner than we left it! I would highly recommend Alec to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”


“My pups absolutely love Skye! She has watched them several times now and is always fantastic! She sends updates and pictures throughout the day. She’s great at communicating and loving on our dogs. Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve had many dogs in my life. Right now, I’m the mom of a four year old chihuahua! I love to watch dogs for people as a fun side job/hobby. While I may be new to the app, I’ve done this my entire life. You will get the quality and trustworthy care your pet deserves. Give me a chance! You will get your moneys worth. I’m currently working part time, I don’t do much except work and spend time with my own pup lol. I basically have open availability to meet your schedule’s needs. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I have two dog tents and a kennel. I have a safe, quiet apartment where your pet will feel relaxed and at home. There’s also plenty of room to run outside.

About: I love all dogs and cats and reptiles and birds. You name the animal. I just want to take care of the baby the way you would. I work four days a week so I have plenty of time to stay with or visit your animals as needed, over nights are welcome!! I have a fenced yard and 4 friendly pups but I am also willing to come stay at your home with your pets, whatever is needed!

About: I’ve been recommended to many by word of mouth, so I decided to bring my business to Rover as well! There’s nothing I love more than being able to provide comfort for your pets whenever you’re away. Me and your pets will go on walks, play dates, and anything else they enjoy! Be prepared for lots of photos of us enjoying our days together! I am working part time while doing a summer internship. Ideally, I am available for overnight stays, whether it be for the weekend or two weeks! I also have sitter backups for any extra care needed in which I’m not able to tend to. I’m currently in graduate school at Morehead State in Ky and will resume in-person classes in the middle of August. I haven’t dog sat in my own home before because I have 2 dogs and a pig of my own. Caring for your home and pets is what is most important to me! I will always be easy to reach, whether it be by phone, text, or FaceTime! I will also water your plants, pick up your mail, take out the trash, etc.

About: I treat each pet like my own—with patience, love, and a strong focus on their individual needs and routines. I'm reliable, communicative, and always make sure pet parents feel at ease while they're away. Whether it’s sticking to a specific feeding schedule, giving extra cuddles, or keeping you updated with photos and messages, I ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and at home. Dog sitting fits into my weekly schedule in a way that allows me to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. I work full-time during the day, so I typically take on dog sitting jobs that align well with my availability—mornings before work, evenings, and weekends. During those times, I focus fully on making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, affection, and consistency. If your pup is comfortable with some alone time during the workday, I’m a great fit for overnight care or weekend stays. I provide a secure environment, closely supervising their activities, and following any specific care instructions from the owner. I ensure they have proper food, water, and exercise, avoid hazards like toxic plants or open gates, chocking hazards and stay alert to signs of illness or stress. Regular check-ins and maintaining up-to-date contact information also help in case of emergencies.

About: I care for every pet as if they were my own. They will get a lot of attention because I focus on them to learn their behavior, quirks and what they try to relay to me; I’m always watching and listening to them. Many clients have told me they tell their pets that I will be coming and they get super excited. I’ve been told they see a difference in them when I do a drop in visit to break up their day. I will also send you pictures of your adorable baby. Your pet will thank you for having me take care of them. My job is to make them happy and Content, I will do everything in all my abilities to do just that! Pet sitting is my full time job. Sometimes it feels as if I work 24 hrs a day. I wouldn’t change a thing, I love taking care of all the fur babies, giving them lots of love, pets, kisses and hugs (if they like it) Doors are never opened without making sure they are secure and on leash. I’m very detailed in their care and their safety at all times.

“Katie is absolutely amazing with dogs and I wouldn’t want anyone else to watch my dogs! She responds to messages quick and is great with communicating back.”


Sheridan N.
“Sheridan was one of the best dog sitters I’ve ever had. She really cares about the animals and it shows. She sent me pictures everyday and text me to let me know how my fur babies were doing. Sheridan went up and beyond what I asked of her. I felt completely comfortable with them being in her care. I always stress when I’m away but she made sure to keep in contact with me and she made sure to abide by my dogs routines. I will definitely be using her again. My dogs didn’t even want to come home!!”


Matthew T.
“In everything Matthew does, he loves with his whole heart. This is no different with the way he loves animals. He has been around animals his whole life and he made it a personal goal to adopt when he knew he was ready to become a pet 'parent'. His love and energy for his cat Winnie and his dog Max is contagious and so sweet. Anyone in the room with Matthew and his animals can tell his love and can't help but have a smile on their face watching their interactions.”
