“Winnie loves her walks with Amanda! Amanda has been wonderful, great communication and always shares cute pictures. She’s been able to adjust schedule as needed. Highly recommend!”


“Lindy was a life-saver caring for our elder dog. She walked Maggie in the rain, double checked on other coverage, and sent photos of each visit. She is a very responsible caregiver and I could tell that Maggie felt very comfortable with her. I had several people checking in on Maggie due to scheduling conflicts and Lindy was supposed to be a "fill in" for us. I totally messed up the schedule and Lindy graciously covered my gaps. She even left me a "schedule template" I can use next time so I don't make errors. Next time I need someone to care for Maggie, I'll hire Lindy for the entire week if she's available. Highly recommended!”


About: I’ve lived on a farm my entire life and taken care of pets and animals of all types from a young age! I have a flexible, work schedule and always love spending time with four-legged friends! I provide loving, attentive care to animals of all shaped and sizes and i'm committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! I am reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your home and your pet’s space. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pets are happy and well looked after. I work full time but have a very flexible work schedule and can make caring for your pet a priority in my day to day schedule! I am very comfortable playing with your pets outdoors or taking them on long leashed walks to get some activity for the day! I mostly enjoy tailoring each experience to the pet and owners needs!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life and all other farm animals. I worked at hunt kennels with 60-70 hounds everyday, vet tech, brought along young puppy’s, I’ve done it all, I’m a very active person and enjoy just getting out with dogs. Please feel free to message me if you would want to know more! I work in the evenings, so would love to fill my mornings up more but have a very flexible schedule to meet house sitting needs Whatever is asked of me and how they like to do things is exactly how I’m going too. I want the animal to still feel comfortable in its own home while parents are away.

About: Animal care is my career, not my hobby or source of extra income. I have experience house-sitting and providing in-home care for pets as well as experience working in shelters, kennels, and boarding facilities. I am experienced with medication administration including injectable medications. I am comfortable working with reactive cats and dogs. Please contact me about a free meet and greet in your home -- I would love to meet your pet! Pet care comes first always! My own pup goes out 3x per day so I generally like to be able to leave a dog alone for up to 2 hours so I can go home and let my pup out but my fiancee can usually help out and we might be able to make something work if you need me to be with your dog all the time. It would require a higher fee because I wouldn't be able to accept other bookings during that time. At this point in time I do not offer to care for pets in my home. All drop-in visits will take place at the client's home.

About: I’ve loved animals since before I could walk and I’ve spent a lifetime caring for them. Having worked for the CASPCA I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge about what it means for our pets to truly thrive and what they need to lead happy healthy lives. Our family treats your pet like they’re our own and make him/her feel right at home. They will spend their days with tons of enrichment activities; daily walks, tons of play time and endless snuggles if they’ll let me and so much more. This is my passion, loving animals and helping people. What more could you ask for? I would absolutely love a chance to chat with you and answer any questions you have. I’m a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to care for your pets during the day/at night just as you would if you were home! I can adjust our schedule to fit your pets needs so they feel right at home and stay on routine. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for your furry friend to play and two active pups who love a play date with friends. All interactions with your pets and ours will be closely monitored to ensure everyone’s safety. I will get information from you about your preferences and schedule for your pet so I can mirror that while they are staying in our home. I will do everything possible to make your pet happy and comfortable while you are away!

“Nick has taken such good care of my dog, I appreciate the notes of how he's doing. Nick always let me know if he saw any change in behavior or wellness and is quick to respond to my questions.”


About: I've had dogs my whole life, 6 in total! I currently have a Great Dane/lab mix who is a rescue. We can walk or run your neighborhood or go to a park! We can play fetch in the yard on the nice days or play inside the house on days it's too hot or raining. I can give medicines that are routine or special occurances. I can clean up any accidents left behind so you come home to a clean house after your day at work or away. I can help with training to solidify any tricks or behaviors you're trying to accomplish with your dog! I'll be sure to show your fur baby the same level of love and attention as if they were my own! I work night shift, so I am used to weird hours if needed! I am a runner so I can take your dog with me if they need a little extra exercise! I will treat your dog like they are my own! I will gladly give treats, meals, extra potty breaks, walks, runs, whatever is needed for your pet!

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 14, living with them longer. I also currently live on a farm and have good hands when it comes to working with animals! I’m a college student, home for holidays, and sometimes weekends! I have an open schedule most holidays and can come home over a weekend if needed! A safe, leash-controlled environment ensures pets enjoy outdoor activities responsibly, with supervised play, regular walks, and plenty of attention, prioritizing their comfort, health, and safety.

About: Left my career in veterinary medicine to be a stay at home mom currently. I am available to care for all types of pets and livestock. My experience in the clinic allows me to medicate and take care of special cases safely, leaving you worry free while you are away from your fur baby. From growing up on a farm to fostering for local rescues I am comfortable caring for the tiniest kittens all the way up to 150 pound dogs and even farm animals. In nice weather I am available to take active dogs on local trails for hikes or just assist your senior dog on a quick potty break,whichever suits your need best! With veterinary emergency knowledge under my belt I know what to do if an unexpected situation arises while your away and to get your baby the best care in a time of need. Ultimately I would love to establish a on going relationship with you and your pet so we can bond and know eachother instead of putting them through the unnecessary stress of constantly having to meet new sitters each time. Recently became a stay at home mom, can accommodate your daily routine so your pets don’t have to change their schedules for when you’re out of town. I treat your pet and house as my own to make sure everybody is as comfortable as they can be. I’m comfortable with special cases and behavioral issues.

About: My passion has always been caring for and loving animals. I will treat yours as if they were my own and understand that you are allowing someone you don't yet know, to care for your loved ones. I have always been a dog owner and my fur-babies are my kids. I have three now, a German Shepherd, a German Shepherd mix, and Doberman, all will be turning two next year. I have been enjoying fostering puppies through CASPCA these past several months, as well I volunteered for them as a teenager. Over the years I have very successfully cared for friends and family's pets while they were away on business or vacation. I promise to be the absolute best caregiver I can be for your fur-babies!

About: Hello, I’m Dani, and I love all animals! I have adopted multiple pets of my own from SPCAs. I personally have owned lots of dogs and cats, a few fish, a hedgehog, a turtle, and hamsters. I believe that every animal deserves lots of love and a caring, warm home! I promise to always give my best to your fur (or non-fur) babies and keep them in good hands while you’re away. It’s important for you and your pet to be comfortable with who is taking care of them. I’m comfortable with all ages and sizes of dogs! I’m pretty strong for a woman and have been able to handle all breeds. I am available on the weekends and weekdays. Mornings and evenings before and after work! I can be flexible and work around both of our schedules to see what fits for us both. I work at a spa and a restaurant so my shifts at both places vary greatly. Weekends are usually a 9am-5pm at the spa, but weekday shifts are typically no longer than 6 hours. Pets are always in the best care with me. My own pets even sleep with me and I love pet cuddles! I can be flexible to do whatever you need me to do! I can feed, water, walk, play, and bathe your dog! I’d love to become besties with your pet! I often times catch myself having full on conversations with them 🤣

About: I’ve had furry companions since the day I was born and couldn’t imagine life without them now. I’ve had cats, dogs amongst many other species of animals. I have nothing but fun and love to offer your furry friends in their very own home! Giving animals love and attention is my passion and brings me enormous joy! I am super reliable, flexible and trustworthy. I am super excited to start this new adventure with Rover. Have comfort in knowing your pets are in the best hands possible. I have many referrals if you need them. I am grateful to you for giving me the opportunity to serve you and your furry family! Thank you so much for considering me to care for your precious family members. I currently am not working outside of the home therefore I am typically available to care for your fur families needs at any given time. I have 4 kitties who are rescues and are not used to having dogs around and I wouldn’t want to cause anymore stress or trauma to my precious furry family.

Emily S.
“Emily has done an amazing job taking care of our dog and cats. She has been extremely attentive to everything they need, and she has gone above and beyond in every respect. Outside of Rover, Emily has worked in vets, shelters, and kennels, and the experience shows! She is comfortable administering medication to our pets and dealing with any other tasks we need on top of standard walks, feeding, etc. Most importantly, our pets are completely at ease with Emily. She has a great disposition with them, and our dog and cats absolutely love her. I cannot recommend her services strongly enough, whether you need her for an occasional dog walk, pet sitting, or any other pet care. You will feel comfortable knowing your pets are in the hands of a truly professional caretaker.”


Tamara T.
“I've known Tamara Tinsley since she was just a little girl. Ive watched her over the years blossom into a beautiful young mother. The one constant over the years has been her love for fur babies, dogs especially. What's so special about Tamara and her love for dogs is that she doesn't see them as animals. She sees them as little people trapped inside the body of a dog. You won't find a more caring, attentive and nurturing dog lover on this planet. I was in a situation where I was no longer able to provide the love and attention that my senior dog needed. What did Tamara do? She did a trial run by keeping my dog for two weeks to see how she would fit in with the rest of her "pack." After two weeks, we brought her back home. And when it was time for Tamara to leave, my dog didn't hesitate to follow her out the door and jump into the car with her. God worked it all out. To this day, my senior fur baby resides at Tamara's house. She has even opened her home to me, when I'm in the area, so that I can drop in for Fur Baby visitation. She is great with all dogs! She never meets a stranger, when it comes to dogs! And she will love your dog, the way you love your dog! Becky Shaver”

Victoria O.
“Tori is wonderful caretaker of my three dogs while I’m out of town. She’s very patient and attentive to the dogs needs. She doesn’t just feed them and walk for potty breaks, she truly engages with the dogs by petting and playing with them. I can count on Tori to make sure my furbabies are well cared for when I’m away from home.”


Jenna O.
“Jenna has been one of our top “go-tos” when it comes to watching our pets and even when we have questions regarding our pets health.

I highly recommend Jenna if you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog/pet as if it is one of her own!”

“Michelle was very accommodating, she was able to do a meet and greet the same day she responded. Teddy and Tigger loved their walk with her.”


Lydia J.
“Lydia is extremely responsible and amazing with dogs! She recently helped me when I was in a pinch- our pet sitting situation fell through. She was happy to come over to our house to take care of our small dog who isn’t good with other animals or pet kennels. I left her a few notes and hid a key and the whole experience was easy and great- she even sent me a video of our dog playing! Would 100% recommend her services.”


Danielle B.
“She’s amazing with animals and works well with people. I work with her at a spa called love face body spa. She’s great with everyone”
