“Our 2 cats love Marissa. She came and took great care of them while we were away for a few days. She not only cared for them, but she takes great care being in our home as well. We 100% trust her in these situations, and she communicates well regarding what they are doing while she is with them. You won't find anyone better.”

About: I got the chance to work with a large variety of dogs growing up. I was in a house of dog trainers for dog shows, so I got the chance to learn a lot about different dog breeds and I would love to learn yours. I am always free Monday through Saturday and I am really good at making time. I am super flexible and good at communicating so if there was ever a time I wasn’t free I would let you know. I am really playful with my pets and love teaching simple commands like sit or stay. I am big on treating them for good behavior, which teaches them to stay in that good behavior all the time.

About: Hello, My name is Kaitlin and I am a lover of animals. I am 31 year old Social Worker turned Insurance Agent. I would love the opportunity to take care of your pet. I have experience taking care of animals since my teens. I have experience taking care of puppies, senior dogs, cats, hamsters and gerbils. I have had extensive experience dog sitting for individuals in their homes watching up to four dogs at one time. I am comfortable administering medication both orally and by injection. I am working remotely so I am able to be home full time with your pet. I look forward to the possibility of taking care of your pet in my your home and hope to put your heart at ease while you are away. I’m currently studying for my Insurance Agent Exam. I have a very open schedule as I am able to work from home and will continue to be able to work from home in the future. I usually do a meet and greet with each client before I sit your pet to make sure we are a good fit. I make sure to learn from you your needs for your pet.

About: I have grown up around animals my whole life, since I grew up on a farm! I have experience taking care of not only dogs and cats, but also cows, pigs, chickens, horses, and rabbits! Currently, I have 1 Australian Shepherd, which I have trained since she was a puppy, 2 cats, and a horse! I would love to take care of any animals you have! I’m currently working Tuesday-Friday, but my boyfriend works from home, so all animals will be taken care of at almost all times during the day! At night we are both usually home, and like to be outside with our dog, who loves to explore our property! I unfortunately do not have a fenced in yard, but do have 4 acres, and a very friendly Aussie who would love to play with dogs of any size! We are able to go on walks, parks, the river, ect, if that be at my house or yours! I also have 2 young male orange cats who love playing with other cats and dogs!

About: I’m currently working from home so, I have a very spacious schedule that will allow me to be free for pet care. I have been taking care of animals for a long time.I have 8 years of pet sitting experiences, I love and enjoy the company of cute furry friends. I have experience with small to large breeds of dogs. I also have experience with cats, hamster, rats, bunnies, ferrets and fish. I accommodate any last minute requests or emergencies. I love going for walks with my dog Charlie (white dog on profile) so your pet will be in great hands. I'm so excited to host your furry friend! I’m currently working from home so have a pretty flexible schedule to make drop in/ walk request along with house sitting requests. I am pretty open to any last minute requests I care for your pets just like my own. So they will get all the snuggles and love. Along with some energy burning time outside.

“We had a short notice trip and thankfully we're able to find Anthony available. After a meet and greet with our 2 adult dogs and 1 puppy we knew it would go well. Even our puppy who is a little hesitant of new people loved him immediately. Anthony did good with sending pictures, keeping the house clean, and making sure to send updates.”


About: For years I dogsat for my aunt's tennis-ball-loving Labrador retriever and affectionate flat-coated retriever, my friend's dutiful old English sheepdog and mischievous Polish lowland sheepdog, and my friend-of-a-friend's terrier. Now I've moved to an area where I know much fewer people, so I'm getting on Rover to expand my reach and start spending time with dogs again. On most days I have lots of excess energy, and I find it hard to say no when a dog wants to play, so you can expect your dog to have some entertainment when I watch him. (If for whatever reason your dog is restricted from exercise I can handle that too, though I always find it sad to see.) I also enjoy giving rubs, and people are always impressed at how much face-licking I can stand. I've had to deal with my share of unusual incidents during dogwalking (including once having to lift a strange dog up by the scruff of his neck because he was attacking the dogs I was walking), so I feel ready for just about everything in that regard. I am presently working a full-time temporary job that is expected to end in early August 2025. During this time I will only be available for pet care from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. on weekdays, while on weekends I am typically available all day. I like to spend frequent outdoors time while dogsitting, both walks and yard play. I am comfortable with sleeping in the same bed as your dogs if this is desired.

“Ashley was such a wonderful sitter for our dog Bleu! Came to visit with us in person and to meet.Bleu. She was so kind and Bleu loved her immediately. Ashley updated us every time she came to see him and would send pictures! We will.use her anytime we are out of town. Thank you, Ashley! Victoria,.John and Bleu. ?”


About: I treat every pet and home with the same care and attention I’d give my own. What sets me apart is my intentionality — I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routines, and needs, whether it’s a high-energy dog, a shy cat, or a senior pet that requires a calm companion. I’ve provided care during holidays, followed detailed medication schedules, and even kept houseplants thriving while clients were away. I’m communicative, clean, and genuinely enjoy creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their people. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine — I genuinely enjoy it and plan my days around giving pets the attention they need. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feeding routines, I stay flexible and dependable. I also build in time for play, snuggles, and cleanup to make sure every visit feels intentional and relaxed. I treat pet care as more than just a task — it’s a rhythm I enjoy and a responsibility I take seriously. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the utmost respect and create a calm, familiar environment for the pets. I follow all instructions carefully — from feeding routines to preferred walking routes — and make sure pets feel safe, seen, and relaxed. I lock up securely, stay aware of my surroundings on walks, and provide detailed updates so clients always know how things are progressing. My goal is to maintain a peaceful, clean, and trustworthy atmosphere — one that is both for the pets and their owners.

“Emma did a wonderful job caring for our two cats while we were away! She was an excellent communicator and we enjoyed the pictures and videos she sent. I would definitely recommend Emma!”



About: I have had a dog companion and have been a dog lover since I was 5 years old. In the busy hustle and bustle of today's high-paced society, I know the stress one can feel from the guilt of a busy schedule. I am passionate about giving dog moms and dads a little peace of mind knowing that they have someone to check in on their furry children, take them on walks, or stay with them overnight when needed. I have 15+ years experience as a dog companion, walker, sitter, and trainer. I have been a companion of and have worked with dogs ranging in size from tea cup to large breed. I've been the go to sitter/walker/check-in for all of my friends and family for years. I am a lover of all animals, I volunteer with local animal shelters, and used to spend countless hours chasing squirrels with my beloved dog (RIP Willow) at the local park (disclaimer: no squirrels were harmed in the writing of this bio). My schedule is flexible and allows for throughout-the-day care for furry children of all shapes and sizes. I am available to check-in and spend 30 minutes or more with your furry friend providing services such as a belly rubs, walks, brush-downs, games of catch, administering oral medication, bathroom breaks, etc. I am open to providing other services, on a case-by-case basis. I am also available for overnight stays at your home with your furry children. For overnights, I will provide a walk in the evening and in the morning, will give your woofie a brush-down, provide meals per their dietary schedule and food type, and will tuck them in with a bedtime story. I am open to snuggling and sharing a bed with your woofie if that is their normal routine (I know my own furry child loved to snuggle at night). If there are any particular parts of your pet's routine you would like followed or any additional services you would like to request, please let me know. I am passionate about the care and happiness of pets. To me, pets are family; they have their own unique personalities and they love us unconditionally. I am attentive, caring, experienced, and professional. Let's chat about how I can make your furry friend's day awesome! I work remotely, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pet(s) and am able to work from anywhere as long as I have access to reliable wifi. I am able to work from anywhere, which allows me to pick up on your pets routine where you leave off while you’re away or at work. Just let me know what their day-to-day schedule is and I’ll adapt to their routine and environment.

About: Hi! I’ve been pet sitting for others for 15 years, and grew up on a farm making any and all types of furry friends along the way. I have two dogs of my own, Dante and Olaf who are my whole world. I’d love to help with your fur babies and spoil them as they deserve to be! I currently am furry friends 24/7! I’m a stay at home dog mom, and am more than happy to help out with your fur babies whenever needed :) I pride myself on the fact that I treat each and every furry friend as if they were my own baby! Always staying mindful of surroundings, making sure they have food/water, are comfortable and playing to their hearts desires. I’m happy to follow any routines and/guidelines you may have to make it the most comfortable for you and your baby!

About: I am a mature dependable experienced pet sitter. I pay attention to details and instructions achieving 100 percent client satisfaction! I’m also a pet owner myself and have been a proud cat and dog mom for many years. I have a flexible schedule but could be available overnight if needed in your home. I can also walk or feed your furry family member as needed during the day or evening depending on the days needed. I am very respectful of your space and instructions. I also give clients a quick report and pics as needed or desired ensuring your pet is well cared for.

She has watched my less than pleasant dog and my incredibly shy dog and after a very short time they absolutely love her. Usually one would keep barking (3 Ibs Chihuahua) and the other would rather hide behind a toilet(havanese poodle). The changes with my animals when it comes to this woman are absolutely astounding.”
