We appreciate Emily's attentiveness to our senior yorkie. Very nice getting pictures of our boy resting comfortably in her home for doggy day care.

10/10 would recommend. You can tell how much effort she put into her bio and her house setup for pets. She's such a sweetheart very reasonably priced but deserves a good tip. I love how experienced she is with a variety. I love the play places she has setup for the pets. I am excited to hopefully keep coming to her. She even gave us a little goodie bag. It was so cute. I especially enjoyed the updates and pics and Vids. Wendy is wonderful

Anthony was great watching my dog. Very responsible and caring. I can tell Finnegan got plenty of play time by the photos and videos. Would not think twice about letting Finnegan stay there again. Awesome!

About: I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels since I was young. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and giving medications if needed. I always make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently in school, but I manage my time well and intentionally plan my schedule around pet care. I’m available before and after school, as well as on weekends, and I make sure I never overbook myself so every dog gets the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I prioritize it in my weekly routine and stay consistent with walks, feedings, and playtime. I always follow each pet’s routine closely, whether I’m in my client’s home or mine. I stick to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I keep their space clean, safe, and calm, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m also happy to send updates so you always know your pet is doing well.

Cassandra and her family are great. We felt immediately at ease dropping off our 8month old Lab, which was wonderful since it was our first time using rover. She seemed to have a clear understanding of puppy behavior and asked questions about our preferences and how we do things at home. Additionally, her home was very tidy which is important to us as it reassured us that our puppy would be safe in the environment. Our Charlie girl came home well cared for and sleepy. We really enjoyed meeting Cassandra and look forward to more visits with her!

About: I’ve been helping friends and family take care of their animals while they are away since I was a kid. I love babysitting furry friends. I work certain days of the week at another job really early in the mourning and home by 1130 am. I’m a very quiet shy person but I love animals. I work certain days early in the mourning and I’m home by 11:30 a.m. I need a 4 day in advance booking. I love animals so I wanted a job to where I can work them. I spoil every animal I come across. Everyone will be fed. I have treats, toys, leashes, a special dog monitor for if I do have an overnight on a day I have to work. I do have an extra crate if you feel your dog needs crated. If your animal requires special treatment such as medication I will need something written out for that such as name of medication time taken etc. I care for every animal as if they were my own. Their health and safety is my main priority at all times.

About: What sets us apart is that dogs aren’t just pets in our home—they’re family. We’ve been caring for dogs together since 2013, and our animals live fully alongside us in everyday life, from couch snuggles to family adventures. Our dogs are regularly vetted, deeply loved, and yes—often spoiled. In addition to long-term pet care, we’re proud foster parents with The Road Home Animal Project and have lovingly fostered over 22 dogs (and counting), each with unique personalities and needs. This experience has made us patient, adaptable, and confident caring for dogs of all ages, energy levels, and backgrounds. Your pup won’t just be watched—they’ll be welcomed into a calm, happy home with a whole family devoted to their comfort and care. Pet care is woven into our daily life. My husband works remotely five days a week, I work part-time, and evenings and weekends are open—perfect for one-on-one attention, extra spoiling, and playtime with our dogs who love having new friends. We care for pets like family, offering fenced yard play, neighborhood walks, and crate options when needed. Our friendly, sometimes vocal dogs enjoy playmates, and pets are fully included in our home with supervision, comfy furniture, and attentive care.

It is the first time we have used this service, and we have had the best experience with Tom and Christine, always in contact with us, they made us feel that Cooper was safe with them all the time. Cooper had a lot of fun to the point that the only thing he wanted when he returned was to drink plenty of water and rest. We are very grateful and hope to use his service again and for sure with Tom y Christina. Highly recommended!!!

Alisha has been my regular sitter for about 2 months now & I feel very lucky to have found her! My dog, Cooper, is treated like part of the family & is always worn out when he gets home. I feel confident that he is safe & I still get consistent updates on what they’re up to all day. She is one of the best you could find!

About: I'm passionate when it comes to top quality care of all animals. I live, eat, and breathe pet care/vet med. I'm a loving, kind experienced veterinary assistant with experience in specialty vet med. I have 2 medium well trained dogs that I share custody of, so I can accomodate more needy puppers or kitties if needed (they can go to their dads for sittings) I also have 3 cats. My first job as a kid in high-school was helping the local groomer wash dogs. I have pet sat, house sat, walked dogs, fed, bathed, clipped nails, admin'ed meds, etc. for over 20 years at this point. Because I have a background in vet med, I feel comfortable with pets who have some mild to moderate special needs. I work full time remotely, so I am available to sit in my home or at yours with short notice. I also have a very flexible schedule which allows for frequent potty/ walk about breaks. I have a spare room for pets overnight in my home. During the day they're allowed to freely roam the house and we will take occasional strolls to park, or on the trail, based on behavior and comfort level of all parties.

About: Dog sitting is my favorite passion. I have taken care of every breed from a miniature schnauzer to an English mastiff to Rottweilers for over 10-15 years now. Animal owners rely on me to give all the love and care to their precious animals. Our animals are like kids and owners expect them to be well-taken care of and loved! I love cuddling with the animals, taking them for walks, throwing balls outside for dogs, and more! That is what I do! I am full time work from home. For my preferences, I like to come to your home and watch the animals. This ensures that the animals feel most safe and comfortable in their own environment. I would bring my work station to your location and work my regular hours while watching and caring for your animals. So, I am available M/T/W/Th/F/Sa/Su all hours of the day.

I would bring my work station to your location and work my regular hours while watching and caring for your animals. Of course, I have had animals come to my house and stay. I have 1 small dog, a female miniature schnauzer, who gets along with every animal. We have not had any issues. I do not have a fenced in yard, but chains work well.

About: My name is Kelly, I am 27 years YOUNG! I am a full time Criminal Justice college student attending Purdue Global University online. If it weren’t for Covid-19, I’d still be working as a Correctional Officer. I’m married to my best friend who has given me the best gift of all, a stepdaughter who is 8 years old. I have loved animals ever since I learned to walk. My parents never believed in buying animals, they believed in adopting the ones who didn’t have a home. I carried that with me growing up and became the go to for my neighborhood if they seen a stray animal. Call Kelly, they’d say. No challenge is too big with animals. I’ve been around plenty of new animals that didn’t like many people, including myself but I believe patience is key. We have baby steps to get to our goals and I believe the same for animals, you take baby steps and earn their trust and the rest will come. We have one dog, he is a cocker spaniel. His name is Charlie and he is about 6 years old. I’ve had him since he was just 7 weeks old, he is my whole world and the love/bond we share is undeniable and unbreakable. I treat ALL animals how I would want someone to treat mine; with love and patience. I have ample experience walking various breeds and sizes as well as ones with different temperaments. I love taking my Charlie butt on long walks and enjoy playtimes with him. He gets the best of love and care that I will show with you’re furry best friend!

About: Hi! I have been an animal lover and owner all my life. Growing up, I rode horses and my family had numerous dogs (puppies), cats (kittens), goats, hamsters, amphibians and birds! As an adult, I lived on a farm for 11 years and helped with a herd of goats, rabbits and mules. I am entertained by chickens and have raised multiple flocks of them and ducks too. I've also had great opportunity to travel doing house and pet sitting experiences along the way. I am an active person and I enjoy ensuring animals have the proper space and time to exercise in all seasons. It is my priority to treat animals with respect and kindness, allowing trust to develop. It is so interesting to make new fur-friends and learn each of their individual personalities. I am currently working only a small amount of hours each week, so my availability is quite open. I also have the flexibility to come to your house. I currently live with my parents and their two super friendly Boston terriers. We have a fenced yard and plenty of space for nice walks. If I am in your home, I am very adaptable and will follow your instructions for what is best for your pets.
