“Courtney is amazing. I could not have asked for more from someone. She cared for my companion with much love and always did her best to do her best. She is willing to do more than just walk your companion; she gives them love and attention. She treats them very well. I never had an issue with her attendance either; she was extremely reliable! If you are in need of someone to care for your companion; consider Courtney, you will not be disappointed.”
About: Hi! 🥰 My name is Rachael! I am a very energetic, patient, and creative person who lives to love and be around animals. Dogs are my favorite animal! I have cared for animals for 13 years. I’ve grown up around many other animals as well and cared for them. Such as cats, fish, and some reptiles. I do offer to bathe your babies if needed. With me, your children will receive appropriate care. Personally, I'm an organizer, planner, and multitasker, and always just a phone call away, face time is also available so minimum supervision is required. With all my skills and experience, I'm able to provide a supervised, safe, fun, and stable environment for your sweet babies!! I look forward to hearing from your families soon! 🐶🥰 I’m currently enrolled at James Madison High School. I do have a lot of free time right now until I reach my money savings goal to continue school. I’m not providing care for animals in my home right away but will provide care in my home as soon as possible for both cats & dogs.
About: Am I knew to Rover? Yes. Am I knew to loving animals? Absolutely not, I've been an animal lover my entire life. As a child, I grew up with dogs, birds, ferrets, and hamsters. Currently have two boxer mix dogs of my own, and a toddler which counts as an animal in my book! I'm not able to board animals in my home at this time, but am open to all other kinds of pet care. Experience: Corn Snake Bearded Dragons Ferrets Cats Dogs Medication management Diapers I'm currently going to school and using Rover as my income, so I am available all hours of the day, including short notice. I love being outside and I'm able to bring my schooling with me wherever I go, so if you're looking for maximum flexibility then you've found it! In my client's home, I try to match the same energy and routine that your pet is already accustomed to. Having someone else enter their space is already shock enough, so having someone who is as close to normal as possible is important to me.
“Ava has started regularly walking my dog Luna while I am at work during the week. She is doing a fantastic job and she has been a life saver for Luna and me since I cannot come home during the day anymore. She is communicative, flexible, and always gives detailed updates and great pictures. I can trust that Luna is in great care with Ava! Thank you!!!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. Growing up on a farm, I was constantly surrounded by animals and learned early on how to care for them with patience and compassion. Since I was five, I’ve had dogs and cats, rescued and bottle-fed baby kittens, trained countless puppies, and even had a hedgehog at one point! I currently have two dogs and a puppy of my own, and I also help my dad care for his dog when he’s out of town—walking her, bathing her, and treating her like she’s part of my own pack. Every animal I care for gets the same level of love and attention as if they were my own. Whether it's senior dogs needing a slower pace or high-energy pups who love to play, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have the flexibility to work from home or anywhere when needed. I’m off nights and weekends, and I’m also able to step away during the day for morning walks, midday check-ins, or drop-in visits. Whether it's a quick potty break, playtime, or some extra cuddles, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, their comfort and safety always come first. I create a calm, loving environment and make sure to follow your routines as closely as possible—whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, daily walks, or bedtime habits. In your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for in their familiar surroundings. I'm attentive to details, keep things clean, and always double-check that doors, gates, and crates are secure. If I’m hosting in my home, your pet will have a peaceful space to relax, play, and feel right at home—away from chaos and stress. Building trust with both pets and their people is important to me, and I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, or answer questions so you feel at ease while you’re away.
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Pumpkin! She walked Pumpkin and made sure he was fed while I was away, giving me total peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about pets, and I appreciated her reliability and communication. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

“Ashley is amazing! We were in town for my brother’s wedding and I hired Ashely to walk and feed my dog, Leo, while we were very busy with the festivities. She was so accommodating and flexible, and she took great care of Leo. I will definitely use Ashely again when we are back in town☺️”

About: I have been working with dogs since I was 12 years old, I’ve been walking, grooming, feeding, and everything in between for 6 years, I also have experience with 6 week old puppies, as I watched one all day and overnight for months. I’m currently in school, but my schedule still offers plenty of flexibility throughout the week! I do my best to accommodate each pet’s needs and work with owners to find walk times that fit both of our schedules. I’m happy to discuss availability in advance and provide reliable, consistent care for your pets! I have 3 crate trained dogs, 2 medium, 1 small, I feed them, groom them, walk them, and let them outside to our fenced backyard regularly. We also have plenty of dog toys and space for them to play.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and in our home, pets truly are family. I’ve spent more than 30 years caring for animals and have also fostered cats and kittens, which gave me hands-on experience with everything from everyday care to administering oral and injectable medications when needed. I’m a mom to a 7-year-old animal lover — affectionately known as our little “cat whisperer” — and we homeschool, while I also run my own business from home. That means we’re home a lot throughout the day and your pet won’t be spending long stretches alone. They’ll have plenty of companionship, supervision, affection, playtime, and opportunities to settle in and feel like part of our family. We have a very spacious home with plenty of room for pets to relax, play, and find their own comfortable space. We also have an amazing patio and a fully fenced backyard with a beautiful, high-quality secure fence, giving dogs a wonderful outdoor space to enjoy safely. Our own pets include a cat and our 10-pound miniature schnauzer, who is incredibly friendly and social. She loves cats, dogs, children, adults, and pretty much everyone she meets! Because we already have pets in our home, the safety and comfort of every animal is extremely important to us. Any dog staying in our home needs to be comfortable and trustworthy around cats. We’re also a very active family and love spending time outside. Dog walks are included with boarding and dog sitting at no additional charge. I want dogs staying with us to get more than just a place to sleep — they’ll get exercise, fresh air, playtime, attention, and lots of love based on their individual routine and energy level. For our feline guests, we understand that cats often need a quieter and more gradual approach. Our home has comfortable resting areas, scratching spaces, and plenty of cozy places where they can decompress and feel secure. My fostering experience has also made me very comfortable recognizing different personalities, stress levels, and care needs. Cleanliness is extremely important to us as well. We keep our home, pet areas, litter boxes, bedding, and living spaces clean and comfortable so every animal has a healthy and relaxing environment. Whether your pet is staying with us, I’m house sitting, stopping in for visits, or taking your dog for a walk, my goal is always the same: to care for your pet the way I would want someone to care for my own — with patience, attention, safety, and lots of love. I want you to be able to leave knowing your pet is being treated like part of our family while you’re away. I work from home and run my own business, which gives me a flexible schedule. Additionally, I homeschool my son, so we’re able to care for and spend quality time with animals throughout the day. Your pets will receive plenty of love and attention while in our care. We maintain a very safe environment for pets, ensuring that anything potentially toxic, like flowers and plants, is kept out of reach. We're always vigilant about keeping doors and windows securely closed. With a seven-year-old in the house, we prioritize safety in every aspect of our home.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and currently have my heart dog! I have a little bit of experience in veterinary science. I am comfortable and confident with any size/breed dog and any age. I currently work part time in a bakery and will need advanced noticed to accommodate my work schedule for your sitting needs. My typical work day is 4am - 12pm or 8-5, so I am willing to request off or work through the sit, whichever you prefer! I provide frequent potty breaks (typically every hour) and play with your babies all day. I also love to let them sleep in bed or on the couch with me.
About: I've had dogs in my life since my infancy and love dogs. I don't have a favorite breed since I think all dogs are special in their own right but I'm a big fan of chihuahuas and bulldogs. I am a freelance artist so I have plenty of time to devote to animal care. I am able to bring my setup for overnight stays so my schedule won't be impacted during pet care. I have a shared two bedroom apartment that is surrounded by plenty of grassy walking areas and a fenced in dog park, so if your pets stay with me, we'll have lots to do. I also don't mind traveling to or staying overnight at a client's house as I have my own vehicle and no other outside obligations.
