“Matt always showed up to feed and play with and care for our pet exactly when he said he would. He was kind, courteous, professional, and always sent peace-of-mind update photos. He’s the first person I’ll reach out to the next time we have to leave town.”


“Keerie took great care of my three kitties! She communicated before and during/after the visit and sent photographs to help put me at ease! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter”



“Lisa did a great job on her first couple of drop ins for my dog. She was very flexible and accommodating, even when I had to change some visit times on her last minute. It’s clear she cares about animals and was very communicative during drop ins, which I really appreciate. I would definitely recommend Lisa and will be using her again.”


About: Hi, I’m Katie your dog’s next best friend! 🐾 I absolutely love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. I’ve had years of experience caring for dogs, starting from childhood. I grew up with sweet, low-energy bulldogs and now, as an adult, I share my life with a high energy german shorthair and just took in a husky so I truly understand the unique needs of both mellow couch potatoes and energetic adventurers. Whether your pup wants a calm stroll or an upbeat, engaging walk, I’m here for it and when I’m walking your dog, they have my full attention. No distractions, just me and your dog, making the most of our time together. If your dog is staying with me for boarding, they’ll enjoy a big, secure yard, playtime with friendly resident dogs (if they’re social), and all the comforts of home. I’ll follow your usual routine meals, playtime, sleeping arrangements to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and right at home. I truly enjoy caring for dogs and love helping pet parents like you make life a little easier, knowing your pup is in great hands. I am a stay at home mom, just trying to care for some pups in my spare time so I have a pretty open schedule! Always ask and I will do my best to work something out for you! I have a fully fenced in yard with lots of room to play and run, if your dog sleeps in a cage they will sleep in a cage if they aren’t used to that they can sleep in our room with us. Whatever makes your dog comfortable we will do for them. A safe place for all pups! We do have two dogs of our own if they need there own space we have a basement that’s secluded and secure that the other dogs won’t bother them.

“Isabella is trustworthy and followed all special care instructions perfectly. I look forward to having Isabella come into our home and provide care for our cat during our next time away.”


“Thank you Mackenzie! She was able to accommodate a same-week booking and was responsive, communicative, and reliable. She sent me pictures and updates about my cats while I was gone, followed all of the instructions, and did a great job! I’d highly recommend and will hopefully be using her services again when I need a cat sitter.”


“Jenna was very thoughtful with her visits. She made sure to let me know what was happening with my cat and seemed to really enjoy being with Zoey. I would recommend Jenna to any potential Rover clients.”


“Audrey was amazing and we loved having her watch our two cats. The boys immediately warmed up to her and hung out while she was at our house. We have one cat who does not like many people but even he enjoyed his visits!! Would recommend.”


About: I've had at least one dog since I was 23, and currently, I have two that I absolutely adore. Lately, I've been searching for pet sitters and thought, "Why not do it myself?" I’d love to help others by providing trustworthy care for their four-legged friends when they can’t be there. For drop-ins I can come 3 times during the day everyday except Tuesday and Wednesday, I can only do 2 on those days. I work in the office two days a week but am home on weekends. On office days, I’m there for 8 hours, but I can come home during lunch to let your dogs out if needed. If your dog gets along with mine, they’ll have free rein of the house. If not, they’ll stay in the kitchen when I can’t supervise them. My yard is secure since I have an escape artist of my own! :) I typically only take one dog at a time (or two if they're from the same family).

I am insured as a member of Pet Sitters International. I am reliable and trusted with keys, alarm codes, garage codes and am also familiar with security protocols of all types.

About: My senior dog passed away recently and I’m looking for pups to care for until I decide on my next fur baby. I am a hiker and constantly in the woods so if your dog likes walks, I’m your gal! I’m skilled in emergency care and can administer medications. I am a medical professional and my schedule is flexible. I’m willing and able to spend the extra time and love your doggos (but I’m not prejudiced to just dog love!) because all creatures deserve kindness and respect. I have experience dispensing medications and caring for animals with anxiety. Please consider asking me to care for your dog/cat, I will treat them as if they were my own. -Sam I am a remote worker and am able to spend ample time with your animal! Walks are typically 30 minutes minimum, unless otherwise requested. I hike daily and I’m always looking for a hiking companion. Your dog will be able to roam freely in my home (unless otherwise requested). If I’m away, I will likely crate your dog unless they are potty trained and have house manners.

About: My family has raised Black Labs since I was 5. I have watched many pets of friends and family. I love getting to meet new furry friends and love taking care of them. I believe in providing the upmost care and love for everyone, human or animal! I am a Pre-K teacher so I work 8 hours a day with a one hour lunch break in the afternoon. I can provide care before, during, and after school. I am very trust worthy of people’s spaces and homes. Taking the upmost care to clean spaces that are used.

About: My love for animals started since I was very little - my family always had several animals at a time while growing up in our household, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, even pigs, cows and goats! About 15 years ago, my parents entrusted in me as a high schooler to raise my own puppy and I was in 4H with her. I have learned life long training for the best care, proper walking skills and continued genuine love for these animals. I have experience bottle feeding 2 week old puppies, walking several different breeds and currently caring for an almost 12 year black lab and 9 year old beagle babies too! I work from home with a pretty flexible schedule and can work around meetings/deadlines easily. Also have availability on the weekends for stop in visits! I live in Hudson outside of town, so can easily get to highways/routes to quickly get to your residence to ensure timely drop in visits / walks.

About: I’ve done pet sitting for family and friends since middle school and have thoroughly enjoyed every second! I also have a dog of my own who I have cared for and loved for the past 14 years. I am a senior in college with lots of free time to spend taking care of your pets! I have large gaps in my days between classes that I am available. I will listen to each and every of your request and needs when it comes to your pet! I will walk them and keep an eye on them with extreme care and keep them out of dangerous situations.

My commitment to understanding each dog’s unique needs ensures they receive loving, tailored care—making me the trusted choice for your furry family members. My current focus is on dog sitting!

We live in a very dog friendly neighborhood, it’s located in a perfect area for walks! I also have a two year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever at home who just adores everyone he meets, and is able to play at all times!

“Jenna was absolutely amazing with our dogs! She was so kind and patient with them and took awesome care of them while we were out of town. Our dogs tend to be a little nervous but she was so patient and kind with them and they warmed up so quick to her! She is so reliable and it was such a relief to know that my pups were in good hands. Thank you Jenna!! You’re the best!”


About: I’ve had dogs and cats for my entire life — something for which I am very grateful. Over the past few years, I have gained a lot of experience house sitting and dog walking. I’ve kind of lived all over, meeting amazing animals along the way! During my AmeriCorps service year with the Cincinnati Zoo, I handled animals ranging from Madagascar hissing cockroaches and exotic snakes to domestic bunnies and owls. When it comes down to it, dogs and cats are still my favorite animals to spend time with! I grew up with at least one dog and one cat at all times. I also appreciate all weather and am very willing to walk or run your pet as long as the weather is appropriate for the dog. I am a teacher, so I’m typically available after 3pm on weekdays. I typically have a very flexible schedule on the weekends, just ask me! I trust that the humans have given ample directions to take care of the pets. I always treat animals and other peoples’ space with respect.

About: I have owned almost every kind of house pet (reptiles, birds, dogs, cats, rodents, fish) since I have been a little girl. I have volunteered and worked (paid) in animal shelters since I was 11 years old with more than 10 years of shelter experience (for all those shy, or needy pets I am your go to) I have clinic experience at Aurora Veterinary Clinic and can administer any medications pets may be on. I have years of experience with house sitting and will take just as much care of your home as I do my own, I also am an avid plant lover and can help care for house plants for extended stays (I do not have a brown thumb) I am currently working full time on bank hours with 3 Wednesdays off a month switching with Saturdays. I can be right over before or after work and am willing to stay for whatever is needed. I have two cats in my own home (one is older than the earth with special needs the other is a rambunctious kitten who is full of life) I or my room mate play with both of them daily in our apartment. This environment is not suitable to bringing other pets into my home, however, I will care for your home as if it were my own and understand that our homes are our safest place, allowing someone into our sanctuary is not easy and should not be taken lightly.

Casey B.
“Casey dog/house sat for me multiple times this past summer for extended periods when I was working out of town. She was excellent! My dog liked her and was always super chill when i got home -- meaning, for him, he got lots of exercise and was not stressed while I was gone. She was flexible with my uncertain, sometimes last minute schedule. She communicated well and promptly. Overall, I would be happy to let Casey watch Mac anytime and would recommend her highly.”


Chelsea D.
“Chelsea has been pet sitting at my home for many years when I have to go out of town. I have had three dogs and sometimes a foster dog. She could handle them all regardless of age, size or demeanor. She is trustworthy as I have her stay in my home. She has been very reliable throughout the years. She has also been understanding when I had to cancel my trip. I feel that she would be a great fit for your organization. She has a natural way with animals.”
