“Lauren did a fabulous job taking care of our chocolate Labrador over several days this last week! We came home to a happy dog and everything looked great in our home upon our return. She sent detailed updates about her visits, including photos and video, and gave our pup lots of love and exercise everyday (even in inclement weather!) Her communication skills are top-notch, and her care and love for animals is evident. We look forward to having Lauren take care of our dog in the near future ~ we recommend Lauren highly and we are lucky to have found her!”


“Adrianne always takes such good care of my Stormy dog. Even with drop-ins Stormy is always so calm and relaxed when we get home after Adrianne has been by to visit. Thanks so much Adrianne!”


“Mia is amazing! She did drop in visits for a few days while we were out of town and Uko felt very comfortable and enjoyed her company. She has high attention to detail and was very respectful of our home. We can tell she really cares about what she does, and will definitely be asking Mia to look after Uko in the future!”


“Stephanie was a wonderful sitter. She was very reliable, communicated with us with updates, and made sure all of our kitty’s special needs were met. She made our vacation very relaxing because we knew our cat was well taken care of. We will definitely use Stephanie for our future pet sitting needs!”

About: I love dogs, and I love to walk. I especially love to walk dogs! I'm a reliable, active retiree. My last regular client waited every morning for me to come. We were best buddies! I'm retired, and I'm available to walk on days that I don't volunteer. I prefer to walk in the mornings before it gets too hot for your pup. As a mom of an indoor only cat, I'm especially careful when entering and leaving your home, making sure no fur babies try to bolt out your door. I worked from home prior to retiring, so I understand the need to be respectful of your time and workplace if necessary.

“Laurel was absolutely amazing with gnocchi! She has such a great demeanor and so super seeet. Gnocchi was so well taken care of and that put me at ease . Definitely going yo make her my go to dog sitter in the future.”



“Hannah was wonderful. I have a rescue who is afraid of everyone. She loved Hannah immediately. Even my cats loved her! I would recommend her to anyone who wants to not have to worry about how well your best friend is being treated! She’s the best!!!”


“Sydney was great! Wonderful communication and took great care of our dogs!”


About: Animals are family members and we want them taken care of well while we are away. When I take care of animals they get nothing but the best care. If your animal is on a schedule or needs medications at a certain time each day I can do that for them. I take care of animals as if I were taking care of children. Always watching them and spending time with them. I will ensure they are cared for and stay out of trouble. I enjoy taking care of animals of any size XS-XXL I work remote so I will always be home with your pet when watching and taking care of them. I would very much enjoy the company of some furry friends. I work during the day online but can take breaks and lunch for potty breaks. When caring for pets in our home they will have company 24/7. They will always have fresh water out for them, plenty of toys to play with and fed on time with their schedule. If any medications are needed they will be given per instructions. We have plenty of beds laid out or if allowed on furniture a comfy couch and bed to lay on. Since I work remote I can also stay at other houses if needed and easier. I can take my work with me and care for your pet in their home as well.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a young girl. I have always had dogs from an early age. I love animals and have a passion to care for them. I’m currently working as a teachers aide in a classroom but summer begins shortly and I will be looking for other opportunities for income in the month of July. I have a fenced yard for my personal animals but prefer to walk dogs in the neighborhood. It is great enrichment for myself and the animals.

About: Tailored pet care with over 30 years of experience. I provide a warm and nurturing environment, ensuring that you and your pet feel loved and protected. I work full-time in a position that offers the flexibility to work from home, allowing me to split my time between the office and the comfort of my own space. On average, I work from home about 50% of the time, which gives me a great balance of productivity and personal time. My office is just a short drive away, so I’m never far from home and can easily make the commute whenever needed. This arrangement allows me to be present for both work and home life, ensuring I can stay connected while also enjoying the benefits of a flexible schedule. I live on a peaceful, country property spanning three acres, surrounded by nature and wide-open spaces. The entire property is securely fenced, ensuring a safe and enclosed environment where your pets can roam freely and explore to their hearts' content. With plenty of room to run, play, and enjoy the outdoors, it's an ideal setting for furry companions to stretch their legs and soak up the fresh air. Whether it's chasing after a ball or simply lounging in the sun, your pets will have all the space they need to feel at home.

“This was our first experience using Rover.com, and we couldn't have been happier! Our sitter, Elaine, is terrific! Not only did she capture amazing pictures of our two Bengal cats, she even managed to win over Shiloh, who normally runs and hides under the bed whenever a stranger comes into our home. My husband and I could hardly believe our eyes when we watched the video of Shiloh letting Elaine pet her. It was nice, too, to come home to a clean and tidy area where the food dishes are as our cats always like dropping their food on the floor before eating. I highly recommend Elaine.”
