“Joanna takes good care of my kitty. She sent us some pictures during our travel. Thanks to her, our travel was with no worries. This is the first time I hire a pet sitter through Rover, and I am pretty satisfied.”


“Gabriella was very invested in our cat’s wellbeing while we were gone and went above and beyond. She made sure he had company and got everything he needed. I really appreciated her time investment and transparent, picture-laden updates at every check-in. Definitely recommended to book her!”


“Lee was absolutely wonderful with our pets! They were so attentive and caring with our two dogs and our cat. We got tons of pictures and videos throughout our trip, which really helped us feel at ease. One of our dogs is a bit of a scaredy cat (he's a chihuahua and takes time to warm up to new people), but Lee was so patient and sweet with him. After a couple of days, he was totally won over and would get excited every time he saw them! We’re so grateful for the care Lee provided and will definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommend!”


“Wow! Blown away with Jessica’s kindness and attention to detail for our girl. We have used Rover for boarding but never for in home care and we couldn’t be more pleased. Beckley was so loved and provided for we will for sure use Jessica again!”


“Thank you so much, Korithian for taking such excellent care of our fur babies last weekend. The pictures were so cute and my husband and I enjoyed seeing that they were happy to remain in their routines even in our absence. The care was just as good as we could provide, so thanks for treating our pups (and us) like family! I absolutely loved getting to meet Korinthian before we left and would be happy to act as a referral for her, should she ever need that in the future.”


“We left our two cats in Rachel's care for about half a month when we were in Europe. Rachel was wonderful!! Rachel bonded with the cats right away. She didn't just feed them, but she played with them and even brought new toys for them. She sent photos and updates that showed the cats were doing well and were happy with her. We recommend Rachel highly and we will definitely book with her when we need help again. Thank you, Rachel!”


“Megan took care of our two cats and our fish while we were away for two weeks. She stayed in communication with us about anything that was happening at the house and even went out of her way to take care of a malfunctioning alarm at the house. I loved having her here to watch over things and will definitely choose her and her family again in the future!”


About: I have taken care of dogs and cats all my life. Big or small, young or old each of our pets get the love and attention they deserve. Our pets have always been treated like family and rest assured knowing your special guy or gal will be part of our family for as long as they are with us. We currently have 4 cats all under the age of 3, and 125lb Great Dane/Lab mix, and a 5lb Shih-poo. I currently work full time from home and set my own schedule. I try to take my pups out every 2-4 hours. If I go out on the weekends for sports or activities, I try our best to keep it under a few hours. I have crates available if needed. I have a large backyard for your furry friends to explore. I do not mind walking your pets on the leash. I have 2 floors in our house with no room or furniture restrictions for our dogs or cats.

About: I have two dogs. One is 7 months and the other is 5 years old. I have lived with dogs all my life and understand overall training needs as well. I have an acre back yard which is perfect for dogs! I work remote 4 days out of the week. So I can adjust my schedule to any times required! I can be very flexible and check in multiple times if required. Large back yard for my two pups and lots of room around the house. We also love to go to local parks for longer walks.

About: I’ve grown up in a home full of dogs and have been caring for them for as long as I can remember. Today, I have a sweet female Goldendoodle of my own named Murray, who’s a big part of my life. I also have experience with cat sitting for family and friends. I’m that girl who stops to help a lost pup or cat and won’t rest until I’ve reunited them with their owner. Animals have always had a special place in my heart, and I treat every pet like they’re family. My job allows me to work from home so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup! I can be available as needed to care for your pet. I care for pets with the same love and attention I give my own. Whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting them in theirs, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy. I follow any specific routines or instructions you provide—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, or playtime—because I know how important consistency is for pets. I also make sure to give them plenty of affection and companionship so they feel secure while you’re away.

“Amanda was very sweet when she came for a meet and greet with our dogs. She is knowledgeable about handling dogs and medicines. She did a great job sitting for us. My dogs were very happy with her. And we are very happy to find her!”

About: Hi everyone. My name is Courtney. I have 2 dogs of my own and have experience with cats, horses, and other farm animals! I have been house sitting for several years for family member and friends. Looking to branch out a bit and pick up my own clientele. I offer in your home animal sitting which also includes getting the mail, watering plants etc. I also offer drop in and dog walking. I have reliable transportation and I am willing to travel to surrounding counties. I currently work as a dental assistant 2 days a week so I have a flexible schedule. I am very dependable. When I say I am going to do something I always follow through. Let me know if you have any more questions and I'd be glad to answer them. (:

About: I have owned a dog my whole life, I love them very much! I have checked in a litter of puppies, boarded a dog, and much more care. I take care of your dog as my own! I pay attention to details and I notice things out of the ordinary. I do what it takes to keep your dog safe! I currently work full-time. I would be available to check in before or after work. Morning check ins would vary based on location and distance from my job. I will make sure you pet has food, water, and is comfortable. I will make sure your dog has used the restroom if necessary. I will make sure nothing harmful is in reach and take note of anything out of the ordinary. I will make sure to play with your pet if they chose too.

About: I've lived on a farm and worked with dogs and cats my whole life! Additionally, I've worked at an equestrian barn for eight years, and am trained and very comfortable with larger farm animals. I'm experienced with reading pet body language and know when it's time to play or rest. I'm excited to go on a walk or run with your pupper -- whichever fits their pace! Along with caring for fur babies, I'm also currently a self-employed game designer with a flexible schedule: I'm ready to spend time with your pet most days of the week, from early morning to later evening. I prioritize your pet's schedule and their comfortability at home. This means everything from following feeding schedules to cleaning up after their fun. If you have any special requirements, please let me know!

About: I’ve always had pets growing up, from dogs & horses to rabbits and hamsters. I currently have 3 dogs from 40-65 pounds. My lab is on daily medication so I am comfortable giving your babies meds if needed. My friends and family have always relied on me to take care of of their pets and I’m always willing to! I currently work a full time job Monday through Friday. I go into office one-two days a week so but the rest is wfh! I am willing to workout any needs for the weekend. I prefer crates for your pets until they are more familiar with the environment, if you are not comfortable doing so I will make exceptions. I do have two crates that stay in my home if needed
