“Angela is just the best. She puts so much care and thought into caring for pets. We are so lucky to have her taking care of our kitties while we are away, it gives us so much peace of mind!”
“Amazing! So grateful to Tracy, she accepted my request very last minute when my original dog sitter ended up not showing up. She walked them, brushed them, gave them cuddles and truly went above and beyond. Thank you so much for making sure my babies were taken care of!”
“Debbie was absolutely amazing! At our meet and greet, my cat, who usually is a little shy, walked right up to Debbie and sniffed her. While Debbie watched her, we got lots of pictures of her which we looked forward to everyday! My cat was fed each day, the litter was cleaned really really well, and she was played with. I will 100% be contacting Debbie first whenever I need a cat sitter!”
“Becky took great care of our two older kitties. They got lots of attention while we were gone! We appreciated the pictures and updates she sent. It was nice knowing that they were in good hands. ??”
“Matt was absolutely wonderful! The puppies were very well taken care of. Matt is very caring and responsible and when Polly was stressed with us being gone, Matt offered options to help her. Loved getting pictures of our babies every day. Will hire him again?”
About: I've grown up my whole life working with animals. I've worked with rehabilitation and have had many animals of my own over the years. I enjoy furry friends and can guarantee love, patience, and care for your fur babies. I will treat them like they are my own! I am currently a stay athome wife while working on school. I make sure to keep you updated if there is a change in my schedule. I love using my breaks to play with my dogs, so adding more pets means more fun! I have a 50x50 fenced in yard. I also have 2 cats that have been around dogs their whole lives. I aim to make sure all animals are safe in our home. Cats are baby gated from our dogs so they can roam.
“Chelsey did a phenomenal Job with Zeus and went above and beyond for him when he got sick while I was away. I will definitely be requesting Chelsey as my go to sitter whenever possible. Thank you Chelsey!”
“Wonderful sitter! She was so caring with my cats and took the time to get to know them. Gave me detailed notes on how they were doing and sent me the cutest pictures! She will be my go-to if I ever need someone. :)”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, over 20 cats since I could walk and 5 amazing dogs along the way. Right now, I share my home with two wonderful pups: a playful 3 year old black lab and a gentle senior pit bull who just turned 10. Because I’ve cared for pets from kitten and puppy stages through their golden years, I’m experienced with everything from high energy play and training to the extra patience and gentle care seniors need. I understand different personalities, energy levels, and health needs and I love meeting pets where they’re most comfortable. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or quiet companionship, I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. Because I’m home most of the day, I can easily fit pet care into my routine. I’m available for daily walks, drop-in visits, and occasional weekend cat boarding a couple of times each month. My flexible schedule means I can accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me, it’s part of my daily rhythm. From spending time outdoors to quiet afternoons at home, there’s always time for a walk, a play session, or some cuddle time. I love incorporating pet care into my day because it keeps me active, brings me joy, and lets me help both pets and their people feel at ease. I am also an avid Rover user myself and understand how important it is to know your fur baby is safe and comfortable while you’re away.
About: I have worked in the animal care industry since I was 14 years old. I grew up with my mother whom bred and showed various different breeds of dogs as well as we kept a small mixed livestock farm. I have worked as an equine manager, I have worked at TSC, and currently am employed at a veterinary clinic where I was originally working with boarders. My skills include basic training, basic grooming, administering preventatives and medication (including insulin), providing effective and safe restraint, and I have taken multiple educational courses on animal welfare, behavior, and stress-free approach to handling. I work full time, but only mid day so I am more than capable of doing morning and afternoon visits as well as mid day on the weekends. I take care of animals the same way I would want to be cared for: with patience, kindness and love but above all safely. Working at a veterinary clinic I have learned a great amount about safe animal care (including with reactive animals).

About: I care for all animals as they are my own. Meeting their basic needs is just the bare minimum of care I provide. Anytime I care for someone's pet, I spend extra hours hanging out with them giving them love and attention so that they don't feel lonely. Currently, I have open availability. I just moved here from out of state and would love if I could make Rover my full time job. I've only ever cared for pets in their home. This way your baby will be more comfortable in its known environment. I will gladly bring in any mail/packages you receive.
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life! My wife currently have an australian shepherd mut that is a year and a half old. We love dogs & excited to help out! I work from home with a flexible schedule. It will not be a burden to take care of your pets. I look forward to helping them! I am happy to take care of your dog exactly how you would prefer based on your home! I like to be able to give each dog time outside to relieve energy.
“Took great care of my fur babies and consistently gave me updates of them. She was able to accommodate for my last minute change and I have no complaints! My cats had their own seperate part of the house away from any other animals in the home and they had a good amount to room to roam. Would definitely recommend her to anyone in the area!”
