“Helena has provided excellent care for my puppy, shared great photos and reports for each visit, and always maintained great communication with me. She was very observant from day one, followed instructions and always kept me abreast of any changes or concerns regarding my pet. Thanks, Helena!”


About: I've had dogs since I can remember. My fiancé watched dogs in the past with rover and I would always help. Take the dogs to the park on my days off, play outside, and train them when needed. I am currently on veterans disability so I can focus my whole day to your furry friend. No worry about being stuck in all day. I have 5 acres of yard for them to play on. I have lots of space if needed, room for crates, room outside. Plenty of space so your furry friend won't feel trapped. My animals mind their own.

“I have two small kittens that I had to leave for a week. They stayed with Riley all week and looked very content and happy in the pictures I received. Riley’s veterinary experience was also a huge peace of mind. Would recommend to anyone!”


About: I love dogs of all ages young and old. I have had dogs and loved them my whole life. We have a jack russle named Indy who loves to hike and go on adventures with us. He is very friendly and loves other dogs and cats. He's the coolest calmest jack you'll ever meet. I am currently a homeschool Mama. So I am here full time. I have one dog and two cats. All very friendly and welcoming to other animals. I have time to take care of and spend time with your pet. I have a small fenced in yard for smaller dogs. I also have a very friendly small jack russle named Indy to keep your pet company. We go on walks and have lots of play time and rest time. I have children who are also pet lovers.

“Alyssa was great she came out 3 times to meet our babies and have drop in visits with them. They warmed right up to her. I will definitely be booking her again.”


“These two are fantastic! Our dogs were so well taken care of and their communication is perfect! They go above and beyond and we can’t wait to use them again!”


“This is the first time I’ve had to board our 2 cats and our dog. We wanted them to be together but knew the sounds of a kennel would stress them, especially our kitties. Am so happy to find Rover.com but especially to find Ashley! From our initial texts to talking in person, she is so friendly. You can tell she loves animals after seeing her place and meeting her dog. She sent photos of our pets with updates to assure us they were happy. We feared they wanted to stay with her and not come home.”


About: I have two small dogs who are my world. I love all types of pets, but can make room in my schedule and heart to take care of your dogs and cats. I will board dogs, but can only stop in and check on your cats. I am currently retired and only work some part-time jobs. I am pretty flexible and will work with families to take care of your precious pets. I have a large farm and home and will crate your dogs as needed. They will love the open space for walks and play. I will keep all pets separated for a more stress-free experience.

About: I have been taking care of my own dogs since I was young and love to be around all animals! I used to nanny for a family with 5 kids and they had a wonderful dog that I always helped to care for! Feeding and taking him to the groomers and vet appointments…all things that I was lucky to get to help with! I also used to care for 2 cats (both needing to take medication) and a bull dog on a daily basis! I have a Jack Russell (that just passed away) myself that I had for about 10+ years and no kids do she was my only fur baby! I have recently in the past year gotten a brand new puppy named Sugar! She is a beagle/terrier/lab mix and 25 pounds of Adorableness! She is so sweet And absolutely my little girl, as she follows me everywhere and tries to be wherever I am, and always under foot!!! She’s a little skittish and still all puppy at eight months! So I am no stranger to puppy needs at all! I also have Bella, who is a pit/beagle mix and she is a little over a year and a half old! She is 60 pounds of crazy but happy and smart and always at my husband side! What a love bug! But remember, with pets, there is no personal space! Lol I love pets of all kinds and will care for them as if they were my own! Snuggles are free!!! I am currently a part-time private nanny, to a bunch of different families who may need care for their little ones day a week, and my schedule is always changing from week to week! This is a little niche that I found that nobody was able to fill, and I wanted to dedicate my career to helping those families who only need four hours a day one day a week and that doesn’t necessarily need to be the same day. As my schedules always changing, my availability will always be changing so I will try to keep that up-to-date as I hope more of you reach out! I’m really looking forward to all the snuggles! I am always very mindful of the time for feedings and walks…any medication will be given correctly and timely…I will make sure your home is locked up after I leave from a walk and/or feeding! Please know that I will do my best to. Gain the trust of the animal! Cats too!

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my experience with both dogs and cats, as well as puppies and senior pets. I’m skilled in puppy training, including housebreaking and basic commands, and I provide attentive care for senior pets, such as medication administration and gentle exercise. For cats, I’m experienced in administering medications, handling special diets, and making sure they feel comfortable and relaxed. I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared-for while you're away. Pet care is a natural and rewarding part of my daily routine. I make sure to schedule time each day for walks, playtime, and feeding, which allows me to stay flexible for any last-minute pet sitting requests. I also keep a consistent routine for administering medications or providing extra care for senior pets or kittens, ensuring their needs are met. Whether it’s checking in with clients, preparing for upcoming pet sitting appointments, or simply spending time with animals, pet care is an essential and fulfilling part of my week. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment. I have designated areas for play, rest, and feeding, ensuring that each pet has a space where they feel secure. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, and I provide lots of attention, enrichment, and affection to keep them happy. For pets in my clients' homes, I follow their routine and specific instructions to ensure continuity in care. I make sure their space is clean and that they feel comfortable, whether it’s keeping up with their favorite toys, providing extra cuddles, or sticking to their feeding and exercise schedule. I aim to create a familiar, loving environment wherever I am, so pets feel at ease in their own home or mine.

“Allison was amazing! Literally the best experience we have ever had with a pet sitter. She sent awesome photos every day that made us laugh, and she went the extra mile to take care of our dog. We can’t recommend her enough!”


About: What sets me apart from all sitters is my deep depth for all animals. As a child, I have always developed a love for animals. My love and compassion for animals spilled over into the education field working with students with special needs. Presently, I have four rescue cats, two classroom guinea pigs, and four dogs, one of which is a rescue. I volunteer with my country's animal shelter, and I have fostered and saved many animals. My love for critters is endless. I am a teacher, so teachers do not work in the summer. However, I do work teaching summer school and a camp in June. I can work evenings and remain overnight. I have the entire month of July off. My children are grown, so my schedule is flexible. I can provide references. I live in a secluded area, so when I am home, they have free range. My dogs are leash trained. During the day when I am home, they remain in a crate. I live six minutes from work, so they arent in their crates all day. My oldest daughter lives with me, so when I am away, they are taken care of.

“Chris is an outstanding pet sitter. She knows animals, and they like her instantly. She is great at keeping us posted and sending pics. It gives us great comfort to know our cat has been well cared for during our trip.”


“We have used Gabrielle's services on three occasions. She is very dependable and followed all our instructions consistently. She clearly loves animals and was very attentive to our cats during our absence. We have 4 cats and one of them is outdoors most of the time. She made sure to let us know when she had a sighting of him as he is very shy of others, and sent photos of him when possible. I highly recommend her for your pets need.”
