Savannah is the most loving and sweet dog sitter! We had her overnight caring for our mini doodle-and when we came home-he did not even run to us-he stayed right by her side and was happy, content, and for the first time ever, he was not depressed while we were gone. So glad we found her!!

Emily and her little chihuahua stayed at our home for a week taking care of our dachshund and cat. She did a wonderful job with the animals and also took really good care of the house. I could hardly tell that she was here when we got back. We will definitely use her again!

Ella took great care of our puppies, house-sitting while we were out of town. She fed/walked the dogs as requested and even brought in our mail, shoveled the snow in the driveway and took the garbage out before leaving! Truly a gem ✨

About: I’ve always been around pets since I was little, whether it be dogs, cats, etc. I know how to care for them. I started doing Rover about 4 years ago, but had to stop due personal reasons and now I’m back on here. I have done multiple sittings before, so I can assure you I know what I’m doing and you will be pleased. I have worked with all types of dogs/cats. Pictures included in my profile: My own dog, some of the pets ( not all) that I have sat for, and pictures of myself. Just graduated from college a couple months ago. Still on the market for a job, so I am available every day of the week as of right now. Once I get a job, my schedule will change. I have a lot of experience with oral medication and shots with my own pets, so If you need that as well it won’t be a problem. I’ve had to crate my dogs before so I could do the same with yours if needed. I like to walk my dogs a lot and be very active with them, so if that’s what you need then i’m your guy.

Our Micki took to Kimberly right away. Our dog can always recognize a fellow dog lover. We received many photos and videos while we were away, which made us feel really good. When we got home, Micki was happy and tired from having so much fun. Thank you Kimberly for treating our dog like the queen she is.

Erica did a great job caring for dog and our visiting grand-dog. She was great with recognizing that our Bulldog was most comfortable and that our daughter's young Bernidoodle was a bit more timid. She loved on them both using different skills. She was even able to manage to feed them together by distracting the bulldog when she finished eating in a fraction of the time it took the Berni to eat, and she managed to et them both to exercise even with their different needs. They both loved her.

I highly recommend Meredith as a pet sitter. She has taken care of my dog, Starsky and cats Milo and Scratch for 5 years. Whether for the day, weekend, business trip or vacation she has always been dependable, dedicated and keeps to their schedules. My pets love her! Meredith always has a treat for each one and lots of hugs and kisses. If she needs to give one of the animals medication, no problem. You won't be disappointed if you hire Meredith. I give her five stars!! Cathy D.

We were in a pinch when the day of our sitter for our fur babies was canceled. We were already out of town when a hour before the sitter was suppose to start canceled. We panicked wondering who would watch them and this amazing person stepped up very last minute. We are thankful!!

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life I helped raise my parents dog, a four year-old Australian Shepherd named Eddy. I’ve dog sit and watched family and friends dogs, majority of my life. I really enjoy getting exercise and spending quality time with other peoples dogs, being able to socialize with them, play with them and get as much joy from them as I can. Im free in the afternoons Monday- Sunday. Also evenings my schedule is flexible. I live in Chesterton dune land area. I’m a animal lover but dogs are my favorite animals in general. I’ve got experience with many different breeds. From behavioral training - teaching dogs how to do tricks. From bathing and waking running swimming, I’ve got experience working with aggressive rescue to watching multiple dogs. I’m eager to help them no matter what the situation calls for. Thanks -Kyle. I’m currently working part time so I have extra time to earn extra income doing something I really love. It’s truly a dream job for me. I helped rise my parents 4 year old Australian Shepherd, i trained my dog to stay in the proximity of the yard when he was six months old he does not need a leash when we go on walks he stays by my side or within 100 yards. I’m very fortunate that I trained him early on at a young age so he knows the perimeter of the yard. He’ll also sit an watch the other neighborhood. Dogs play. He does not go into the their yards. He just sits at the perimeter of my yard and watches them play This is one something I’m extremely proud of.

About: Ever since I can remember, I have had an intense love for all animals, mostly the fun and furry ones - dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, etc. I have had my fair share of pets, as well as experience dog sitting for many close friends. I will provide your pets with a fun experience, while dedicating my full attention to them while they are in my care. I can't wait to meet your furry friend! I work a full-time job as a music teacher at a local college, but I want to earn a little extra cash on the side and spend time with animals, since my current living situation doesn't allow me to have a pet of my own. My most available hours would be early mornings, late afternoons, or evenings/nights. I cannot currently have pets in my home. I live on campus in an apartment with a no-pets policy. In the future, I may be able to change this.
