“I booked Maggie to stay at my house and take care of my two dogs while I was out of town. I didn't like the idea of kenneling them and liked the idea of having someone watch them at my house but was hesitant at first. I have never done this before. To say Maggie was awesome is an understatement. My dogs loved spending time with both Maggie and her dog Willow. The house was just as clean as it was when I left when I returned. She brought my garbage can back in after pick up. Got the mail and sent pics and videos. I think my pups miss her and Willow. I was so impressed I just booked for my next trip out of town.”


“Caitlin was a great sitter for our old timer who required extra attention. She is a very good communicator and did very well with our dog. I will definitely be reaching back out to her!”


“Marissa took great care of our three babies (🐶🐶🐶) and our home while we were away. Our place looked great when we got back, and our girls were well cared for. Marissa also communicated with us and let us know when she arrived, left, etc. We had an all around great experience and hope to work with Marissa again!”


About: With over 8 years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine, I bring a deep understanding of animal health, behavior, and emergency care to every pet I look after. My background includes working alongside veterinarians in clinical settings, assisting with diagnostics, surgical procedures, and administering medications. Whether it’s managing pets with chronic conditions, administering medications, or simply offering a calming presence, my veterinary experience ensures your pet is in capable, compassionate hands. I prioritize safety, well-being, and individualized care for every animal, treating each one as if they were my own. I am currently working full time at a veterinary clinic. While I am not available during the day, I will be available after 6:00 pm and in the mornings before I leave for work. I am also available almost all day during the weekends to be around for your pets. When caring for both my own pets and a client’s pet, I treat each animal with the same level of love and attention. I make sure they are fed on time and have access to fresh water throughout the day. I take dogs for regular walks to keep them active and happy, and for cats or other pets, I ensure litter boxes are kept clean and fresh. I love interacting with animals—whether it’s playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company. I want them to be comfortable and feel cared for! I also give treats (with permission) as a way to reward good behavior and build trust. Every pet in my care is treated like family.

“McKenna took care of my dog Gravy really well while I was gone for the business trip. She came on time to my place for the early morning before I left to go to the airport. She sent me the many pictures of Gravy with all of the updates so I felt relieved to know that he’s in the good hands! He usually gets anxious and used to have a separation anxiety but he did great with McKenna’s care! She really took care of him like her own dog 😊 My place was left clean after she left! I will definitely request for her for Gravy’s care in the future as well! Thank you so much 🙏”


“Abigale was great! She stayed at our house for over 10 days to watch our English Mastiff, Meera, and our short-haired cat, Starlord. Abigale took great care of our animals, giving us picture updates regularly. We will definitely be using her again. A helpful tip for anyone interested in the 'House Sitting' service: On top of the Rover fee, we offered to provide a fully stocked fridge and pantry with items of her request. We also tipped her for the care she provided. These are not required, however, it does seem like something that should at least be offered to the sitter.”


About: From having an Irish Wolfhound and Blue Heeler on a farm with cats as well, I’ve grown up around pets my whole life. I currently have an indoor kitten, Mabel, and want to extend my expertise to you as well. I have experience pet sitting for friends often (pitbulls, golden doodles, Great Pyrenees, small dogs/toy dogs as well as American shorthair cats) and I am available full time to pet sit. I am free all day until I start my new job August 20th 8am-4pm. After that starts I am still free outside of those hours to offer my pet sitting services :) I can only pet sit at the clients home at this moment but I would try to extend the same treatment I would to my own home and pets to theirs. Cleanliness and safety is of utmost importance caring for pets along with exercise, play, and affection.

“Arianna was great with our two boys and was super helpful in setting up the house sitting appointment. She sent plenty of updates and pictures of our boys during the trip and kept everything under control around the house. Even our normally standoffish schnauzer warmed up to her by the end of her time! Would definitely recommend Arianna for your pet sitting or any other pet help needs.”


About: I have grown up with dogs and cats. As an adult, I have three cats and one dog. I have house-sat for a few families over the years and have really enjoyed it! I am a stay-at-home mom. I volunteer throughout the week and have planned activities for my children, but my schedule is quite flexible. I am happy to work with you and your pet’s needs! For dogs who are boarded at my house, I will provide at least one walk per day (distance will vary on dog’s ability, but I usually take mine on a 3-mile walk). I will have play time and will accommodate any feeding schedule necessary. For dogs being cared for in YOUR home, I will happily work with you on his/her needs and schedule. :) Same for cats and other pets!

“Carrie was an amazing house and pet sitter. She took excellent care of our Basset Fiona sending videos and pictures. Also, our air conditioning went out during a heat wave while Carrie was sitting. She was super helpful in letting in the technicians to do the repairs needed and sending pictures of the progress. I highly recommend Carrie!!”


About: I've owned & been around cats & dogs all of my life. I am very patient & loving. They'll love me!!! I can't get enough of them! I work a small set schedule. I am available almost all day, every day. I work from my car a lot also, so I'm quite mobile. Animals RULE my house. I currently have 3 black cats. They are beyond spoiled every minute of every day! I am totally obsessed & in love!!!

“Katarinna provided us with excellent service. She is very conscientious keeping us fully informed during her stay with our dog. She was most attentive to our dog’s needs as he is a high energy dog and requires a significant amount of interaction.”


About: Hi! I'm Kristoff, an experienced and passionate pet-sitter based in Marion. I may not be the chattiest person in the room—but that’s exactly why you can trust I’ll focus on what matters most: taking care of your furry family like they’re my own. I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10—walking, feeding, playing, and even doing basic training. Friends and family often rely on me to care for shy or energetic pets, and I pride myself on building trust quickly and gently. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to spend caring for your pets in your home. I’m happy to accommodate same-day requests, holiday visits, or anything last-minute. I’ll treat your pet like family—respecting your home, following your routines, and providing thoughtful care with plenty of updates. Whether your pet needs a calm companion or an active playmate, I’m here to help. My schedule is very flexible and changes often due to multiple part-time jobs and landlord responsibilities. However, I’m typically available every day, and I rarely work more than one job per day. This means I can often accommodate short-notice and same-day bookings, including holidays. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in, or even a quick ride to urgent care, I do my best to be there when you need me. Just reach out—I’ll do everything I can to make it work. I currently care for pets in their homes, as I’m in the process of buying my own. I have one dog of my own—a pit bull/shepherd mix—who is wonderful with people but not other dogs, so I do not offer boarding at this time. I take a calm, patient approach to shy or anxious pets—giving them space, earning their trust, and going at their pace. For high-energy pets, I offer play, walks, and activities to help release that energy in healthy ways. While I don’t currently own crates or pet-specific equipment, I’m open to meeting client needs as they arise. I treat every pet like they’re family, and I aim to make them feel safe, seen, and understood.

“Amber was great with our pups! She was able to meet them before she came to stay and to learn their routines. Amber kept me updated on how everything was going and even sent pictures! I have already booked Amber for more stays! Thank you so much!”


About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 7. Coming from somewhat of a farm life. I have always had a dog. Used to work with dogs that just came into a shelter that is no longer there I love to work with dogs, walk and dog sit. No dog is to small or to big. Love comes in all Sizes! I am available during the week and on weekends. Will work around your schedule if need be. Will come to you so they feel secure in their own home I have a fenced in yard. 3 Friendly dogs I prefer to do at your home so dogs are in their comfort zone and do not get stressed out

About: I an 3 year veterinary nurse with 2 years experienced in pet sitting . I will treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that animals need more than just food and walks—they need love, attention, and a calm, reassuring presence while you’re away. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, I tailor my care to fit each pet’s personality and routine. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or medication needs, I’m reliable, attentive, and always on schedule. I also provide regular updates, so you stay connected with your furry friend. Safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. You can count on me to ensure your pet feels at home—even when you’re not. Trust, compassion, and care define my service. Let me give you peace of mind, and give your pet the love they deserve. I am currently a part time veterinary nurse so. I tend to be able to schedule myself very well to make sure I prioritize every pet I’m sitting and make sure they always come first. I’m deeply committed to the well-being of my clients animals. I pay close attention to their physical and emotional needs, ensuring they’re fed a proper diet, have clean water, and live in a safe, comfortable environment. I have 3 dogs and 1 cat who are literally my children. I currently don’t have a fenced in yard due to no need for one because my pets are really well and staying on my property. So when it comes to pet sitting in my home , depending on how trained the animals are I am some times able to have them roam free with my pets along with supervision or I tend to leash walk if that’s way doesn’t work out . I prioritize myself on keeping my pets safe and other people’s pets safe as well.

About: I've taken care of different types of dogs since I was 10. Growing up, my parents would rely on me too walk and feed our pups and overtime it became easy and just another part of my routine.
