“McKenna was AMAZING with our three picky/skiddish cats. She’s very patient, sweet and loving. After our first meet and greet I instantly felt at ease and knew they were in perfect hands. We honestly couldn’t have found a more perfect sitter for our kitties and will definitely be contacting McKenna whenever we need a sitter! Thank you McKenna!”


About: I am currently a veterinarian assistant in school to become a veterinary technician. The most amount of animals have set for at once is 7 (3 dogs, 4 cats) all needing special diet food, and certain medication’s. overall, I really love animals and hope to make peoples lives easier by being able to take care of them. Currently, I’m in school Monday through Thursday and I work Wednesday through Friday. I am able to watch animals and do things in the morning and in the evening and whenever I would have the free time to go back to the home and make sure they’re ok. I can do whatever you would like me to do, whether that’s free roam or crate. Ultimately, whatever works in your home works for me.

“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful! She was caring and a fabulous sitter! I completely trusted her within our home. She did everything we asked and sent us daily pictures. I would definitely hire her again!!!!!”


About: I am open for Dog walking and house sitting for all sizes of dogs and cats, as well as general care for small critters such as rabbits, hamsters, fish, birds and guinea pigs. I also have many years experience with horses, goats, sheep, and pigs. I have a very flexible schedule at this time. I've been an animal owner since I was a child. Always had a dog and cats growing up, also had fish, birds, hamsters and rabbits over the years. Despite being a part time student I have all online classes so fitting in your pets needs are very easily done at any hour. I live in an area of many bike trails and walking paths as well as a personal fenced in yard for any dogs who don't have access to dog parks or have socializing issues in large groups. I am currently unemployed and looking for a Part Time job. I will schedule animal care around that future schedule. I miss my rover days when I switched to full time work prior. I treat every clients pets and home with respect and care for it as my own. When I'm house sitting i often supply my own snacks and such and tell pet owners they don't need to supply me. I stay within the set boundaries of each home as well.

“Ashley walked and played with our dog Lincoln for the first time today. Everything went great; Lincoln enjoyed his time with Ashley. The feedback and photos of Lincoln was nice and gave us confidence that Lincoln will be well cared for by Ashley when we are gone.”


“April came over in kind of a last minute scenario, but she still made it work and we came home to a very happy puppy dog later that day! April got Roxy all of her medications, fed her and loved her as I would of if I was home. I work for the railroad and have a wild schedule, and April was there to save the day! I highly recommend April; your pooch will love her!”


About: I grew up on a farm with working dogs and lived in the city where dogs must be on a leash, so walking them in all sorts of weather in various conditions is part of my daily routine. But now that my husband is retired, our dog gets his walks, but I don't always get mine! I would love to help you and walk and care for your dog when you need help. My energetic and resource-guarding dog has taught me a lot about dog behavior and how to use positive enforcement through training, playing and enrichment activities. I look forward to working with you and getting to know your special pup. I'm currently not working, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. Other than the occasional road trip to visit family, I have a pretty flexible schedule and am able to work just about anytime, including nights and weekends. I have cared for pets who are crated as well as non-crated; walked dogs on leash and with dogs who are trained on shock collars (in safe areas, obviously). I have trained puppies as well as tended to senior dogs' special needs. I am committed to ensuring you are confident that your furry friend(s) are in good hands and getting the attention they deserve.

About: I have extensive experience with dogs of all backgrounds and breeds, I've worked at a doggy Daycare for 2 years and in that time I have learned everything I possibly can about dog body language! I also have a neurotic 1.5 year old golden retriever puppy at home that has really taught me how to work with dogs that get overstimulated too easy, and also how important mental stimulation is! Currently I have a very set schedule! I go to school Monday-Thursday from 7:30am-3:30pm and after that I might work on some homework but I'm usually doing some enrichment activities with my families dog, like playing fetch, trick work, hide and go seek with treats, and whatever else I can think of! On Fridays I usually work 6:30am-11:15am and then 1:30pm-6pm, and every other Saturday I work 7am-11am! I will treat your house how I treat an expensive store that sells fragile ceramics, don't touch anything at all and barley look. When it comes to dogs I treat each one that I work with, with the utmost respect, I always let dogs come to me and I fully respect their boundaries! I also absolutely love doing some training work so if you have any tricks that you like to work on I would love to know!!

About: Ever since I was a baby, I’ve always had a pup in my family. I love dogs all shapes, sizes and ages. I have done walking, drop in visits, and house sitting for long trips. I currently have a one year old girl at home; my sweet and goofy Mabel. I’ll love your pup as I love my own! I’m now working part-time, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I am most available during the afternoons and evenings the weekdays. Weekends are possible if needed. I am open to whatever your pet needs! If they need feeding, walking, or just some spoiling of treats and love, I am more than happy to provide.

“I was nervous about our vacation as we've never left Kirby alone for a long period of time. Paige was so good / patient with her. Love that she sent picture every day - I could see that Kirby was happy! Paige did a fantastic job, and she is definitely my go to person!”


About: Hey everyone I’m Emma! I grew up on a farm and have worked with so many different animals species. I love working with dogs and can do lots of different training exercises with your dogs. I have worked with both large and small dogs, and dogs of all ages. I used to foster dogs, and train them up for their forever homes! I am currently a college student taking courses T and THUR from 8-3. I work on my family farm currently from 8am-4pm M,W,F. But am able to stop by around noon during my lunch break if your pet requires an extra let out and I work about 2 minutes away from my house as well. I live out on a farm, so there is a large yard for you pets to run around. I have a kennel for smaller dogs and a puppy play pen already from fostering as well as basic food dishes, toys, treats, etc.

“I was very happy to find Donna when our other sitters were unable to help us with our three dogs Fourth of July weekend. We had plans to take our girls up north for a quick fishing trip and time at our cabin. Donna was very attentive when meeting the animals for the first time and I didn't have any worries when we left. She was prompt with check-ins, with pictures, and we were able to focus on making sure the little ones had a great time without being anxious about what was going on at home. We will definitely use Donna again when the need arises! Thank you!!”


About: I have been a dog momma and lover for years. They are my world and I am theirs. Yours will be taken care of at the same level I care for my own! I am sincerely drawn to dogs when I see them. They've got so much love and joy to offer this world, how could you not? I have 3 labs currently and have trained all of my dogs from babies on up. We have almost always maintained a 3 dog household, they get walks everyday so long as the weather permits and plenty of playtime. Rest assured, your pup will be taken care of in the same respect and manner as I care for my own. I work from home so can make time for lunch time appointments if close enough to my home, I work until 5 so can be available in the evenings until 9pm, except for Wednesdays I have volleyball either at 6:30 or 7:30, but can still make appointments work in there. Also around most weekends except for family events here and there and two vacations we take a year. :) I protect them with my life. I love my babies so deeply and am so thankful I work from home so I get to be with them everyday. Yours will be treated no different. Dogs have so much love and joy to offer the world and they only deserve the same in return.

About: I've always been around dogs of all kinds. Some of my first jobs were looking after the neighbor's and friends' canines. We also had dogs in our home during my childhood, and my wife and I also have a dog of our own. I would be happy to take care of your pet at the beginning or end of my work day. My work is fairly flexible as well! I love to care for animals exactly how they need to be cared for. I promise that I will look after your furry friends as if they were my own. I'm a youth pastor, so I am used to working in high-trust environments!

“My pup Charlie loved spending time with Angie. She gave me an informative update and provided great pictures of my pup. I won’t hesitate to book Angie again to watch Charlie. Thank you!”


About: I have dog sorted for many family members and friends. I love all animals and truly give each one of them my love and care no matter what! I hope to meet you furry friend and best friend soon. At home I care for two cats a bearded dragon and a tank full of fish. As a server over the summer my schedule is sporadic, but allows me to work shorter hours and be available more frequently for your animals I have always been taught to leave a space cleaner than I found it and I will not treat your space any different. I make sure to give my pets specific love and attention each day and keep them on a strict meal schedule. Of course I will do everything I can to make sure you furry friends are as comfortable as possible while you are gone :)

Abigail M.
“Abigail was a wonderful pet sitter for our 4 dogs and 4 cats while we were out of the state for 2 weeks. Each of my pets had pretty specific needs such as daily medications and all being fed different food, and Abigail was able to follow my instructions to a tee! Not only was she amazing at staying in touch with me and sending pictures whenever I asked, my pets also loved her! I also love that she has extensive veterinary medicine knowledge and experience, so that if any of my pets got sick while we were gone, she would know what to do! Leaving our pets for that length of time was nerve racking at first, but once we were on our trip, I did not find myself worrying at all. When we came home, my dogs were even treated to a new toy from their new friend, Abigail. I 10/10 recommended her and would 100% book her again for our pet sitting needs.”

Tonia M.
“Tonia, a highly skilled and reliable pet sitter who is passionate about life, the outdoors, and animals, watched our Golden Retriever, Zoey, for a week as a puppy. Tonia took great care of Zoey and even taught her a few tricks such as sitting, rolling over, and offering her paws for a shake. It was amazing to see Zoey learn these new skills during her week with Tonia. We were so impressed with Tonia's care that we had her watch Zoey again for two weeks when my husband and I traveled overseas. Tonia has also walked Zoey numerous times, and she has imprinted on her. Even to this day, when Zoey sees Tonia, she whimpers and gets extremely excited. We are so grateful to have Tonia in Zoey's and our lives.”


Caoylin C.
“Caoylin knows literally everything there is to know about dogs. From body language to diagnosing possible illnesses, she is essentially an encyclopedia when it comes to dogs. Not only is she passionate for them, she also loves every single dog she gets the opportunity to interact with. Overall, she would be a wonderful addition to the Rover team!”


Allison T.
“Allison is great with all animals! She's dog sat for me many times and is so caring and responsible. She's had dogs of her own and spoils them and keeps them active! Highly recommend!”
