“this was my dogs’ first time being watched by someone outside the family, and zenia was so patient, sweet, and attentive with them. she made them feel safe and comfortable, and kept me updated the whole time. highly recommend and would definitely book again!”


“Not many pet sitters on Rover know how to take care of cats. I'm glad I found Amanda & Cody. Both were super responsive and friendly, and shared pictures with us after every check-in. They took great care of Nyx & Ozzy. We came home to well fed, hydrated, happy kitties. Their litter box was also clean. I would definitely book them again, and recommend them to other cat parents.”

About: Hi, we are Andrew and Kris. We've had pets our entire lives and have started to care for others in addition to our own puppy, Benelli. We have experience caring for various animals including dogs and cats. Kris works from home and we are quite flexible between our two schedules. Extended stays are welcome. We live in a very walkable neighborhood, and loving taking the pups out to walk around. Kris works from hone, so your pet will never be left alone! We are available for boarding as well, and just need advance notice for scheduling. We have a spacious townhouse and are both animal lovers. We currently have one amazing Labradane in the house who loves to play with other pets (if you allow it; otherwise he is very well crate trained and can remain separated). Your pets will have no shortage of attention and affection here!

“Nate helped me out so much! Last minute our dog sitter bailed and he was able to go to my place within the hour to make sure they were okay! He kept great communication and overall would use him again!”
“Candice is a caring, trustworthy animal lover who took great care of my quirky beasts. She was never late, always communicative - providing detailed feedback on her visits. I really appreciated her sensitivity to my big Borzoi's needs and I know he did as well. I will definitely request her service again and again. Good job!! Thanks Candice!”

About: I love fitness and pets and would like to combine the two! Contact me for a walk with your pup :) I live in a small apartment which means I have to get out of the house to workout often! I understand that different types of dogs need different exercise and I can cater to that need as well. I run my own business as a freelance artist so I have plenty of time and a flexible schedule to walk your dog as needed. I live near lots of parks and can take your dog walking in the safe neighborhood near my home or let them play in nearby parks depending on your dogs exercise needs.

About: I have grown up with a dog my whole life. When I was very young we had a Yorkie named Rex. And for the last 11 years we have had an energetic yellow lab named penny. We trained her ourselves and now she is very well behaved. I love dogs and am great with them. I love to play them just as much as they do! I currently work part time most days of the week but have a fairly free schedule since my shifts aren’t that long. I go to sleep late and wake up early so my days are open! I live in a house with a fenced yard big enough for a dog to play fetch in. My roommates love animals too so all pets will be welcomed. I am willing to stay at anyone’s home and will be respectful of any house rules that are set.
About: I spent a year volunteering multiple days a week at the Humane Society in El Paso, TX, with puppies and older dogs, while I was stationed nearby. I have rescued and trained dogs of my own for most of my life. I have assisted in training a Service Dog. I have a lot of free time to fill during the week and weekends. I am looking to add some extra income to cover bills. I am working part time. I am only working part time with a lot of availability to accommodate your various needs. I can always adjust to fit your schedule as needed. Due to restrictions for my townhome, I can not allow pets to come to my home even for a short stay. I love to go visit and take them out from their homes.
About: “Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Everyone who knows me knows how much I love them and how well I care for my own. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family — with patience, kindness, and genuine attention to what makes them feel safe and happy.” “Pet care fits easily into my day because it’s something I’m already doing! I start and end my day with animals — walks, feeding, playtime, and quiet time. I enjoy being around pets and giving them attention throughout the day, so adding a few more paws just makes it better.”I'm currently unemployed and so I have a lot of free time to spend with the thing I love most. I have a fence yard. When I feed my dogs their food I put extra additives to help promote their health and so they are not eating the same old thing everyday. I'm always giving fresh water to them. I just try to think if I was an animal what would I like. I want their short life to be good.
“Laura was great! They met my pets before starting the job, were warm and asked questions about my cats. I received a lot of pictures of happy cats during my time away. Never once was I worried about my pets and it gave me such great peace of mind. I’ll definitely rebook with Laura.”

About: I have more than eleven years of experience caring for animals, beginning with my own rabbits when I was eight. Through 4-H I excelled in studying animal health in-depth and gained practical experience working with rabbits, ducks, and other livestock. Not only am I comfortable looking after healthy animals, I'm confident in my ability to care for those that need a little extra attention. I have been walking dogs since I was nine, including labs, purebred pit bulls, and small breeds. I have also cared for my grandparents’ cats throughout my life, and I currently live with a cat in my dorm. Animals have always been a part of my daily life, and I bring patience, responsibility, and genuine care to every friend I look after. I'm currently in school, but taking many online classes. I have a fairly spread out schedule that will allow me to check in on your pets at various points in the day. I'll be in Logan for most of Christmas break, all of Spring break, and all of summer 2026 (save for a weekend here and there). I'm open to looking after your pet in any setting that you need, whether that's spending time with them at your home, going for a walk, or taking your (trained) pet in my car for a longer outing. I love being outside and I've been exploring the trail system in Logan, so I'd be happy to take your pet on an adventure!

“I appreciate Pamela's flexibility when it comes to scheduling. We change plans multiple times and she worked it out so that she came to our house. We appreciate her and she is our regular sitter now. I added a puppy this year and she tends to bark at strangers but Pamela dealt with it and my pups were content while we were done all day.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs most of my life. I’m the first person my family or friends call to come house sit for them so they don’t have to board their animals. I do some light house work, hangout with the animals, and give them lots of love while their parents are away I’m currently a single stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can do weekends or weekdays- let’s try and make it work with your schedule I’ll play with the animals outside as much as possible. Take them on a walks if they do not of great recall and in my free time in between taking care of the animals I do some light house work
About: I have been caring for dogs off and on ever since I was 12 years old—or even earlier—and over the years, I’ve developed a strong, dependable approach to handling dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s a small, energetic pup or a large dog with special requirements, I am confident and attentive in meeting their individual requirements. I have extensive experience with cleaning and maintaining a safe and sanitary environment, as well as keeping dogs engaged through play, exercise, and affection. I also take pride in carefully following any caretaker instructions, including feeding schedules, medication, or routines, to ensure every dog receives consistent and personalized care. I have a full-time job but love dogs and want to be around them more! I am available most afternoons for drop-ins and walks, and if needed can house sit weekday nights, however I work mornings so would be able to do a morning routine with your pet. Weekends I’m available for the entire time from Friday night to Sunday! Since I began caring for dogs, I’ve built a deep understanding of how to create a safe, trustworthy, and loving environment for every dog in my care. No matter the size or specific needs of the dog, I prioritize their well-being by maintaining a clean, secure space and staying attentive to their unique needs, personalities, and comfort levels. I take time to build trust through gentle handling, consistent routines, and positive interaction, whether it’s playtime, exercise, or quiet companionship. I also will follow all caretaker instructions with precision—whether it’s feeding, administering medication, or sticking to specific routines or behavioral guidelines—so that each dog feels supported and every owner can feel confident their pet is in good hands. My commitment to cleanliness, communication, and compassionate care ensures not only the safety of the dog but also the integrity of the environment they’re in.
About: My son and I love dogs and I enjoy caring for our furry friends while trying to make ends meet. We hope to find some clients to build long term relationships with. We have been taking care of dogs for the last few years and have been grateful for repeat visits. We would love the opportunity to care for your pet when needed. We enjoy discovering their unique personalities and offering new experiences to them on occasion. We have watched both puppies and older adult dogs. We have raised a puppy to adult, and cared for new born puppies. We live in the River Heights/Logan area but could possibly do other locations as well. Please reach out to us if you think we would be a good fit for your family! I work Monday through Friday but only about 2 minutes away. I prefer to be at home with the dogs but after they visit a few times I may be able to have them visit during the week or get permission to work from home on occasion. I am currently working nearby 8-430 so I'm most available on the weekends. My son is also available sometimes during the week. When I return home I usually spend quality time playing, walking and cuddling with my dog and or others, I have a large fenced yard, doggy door, and access in the home. I can crate my dog or your dog as needed. I am flexible and work to make sure the environment is safe and watch the dogs as they explore to identify possible issues as dogs aren't always predictable, just like many of their humans.
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life! I’ve cared for a variety of animals both at home, at work, and in volunteer positions. I also worked as a vet tech where I helped care for sick patients and boarded dogs/cats. I have experience with basic medical care and medication administration. Now that I’m a stay at home mom, my two wild dogs and particular cat keep my on my toes. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I can provide all-day care for your furry friend. I usually leave my dogs outside if I have to go somewhere, but I can also crate your pup if it’s cold outside. My two energetic dogs love to play and are very friendly. You can be sure your pup will come home worn out from running and playing in our fenced yard. Dogs may come indoors during the day but we also have a large dog house if it’s cold or windy.
About: Between my neighbors and my family pets, I have helped train and sit for several new puppies. I also have a lot of experience taking care of senior dogs. I lived with a senior dog and consistently sat for the two neighbor dogs for their last three years. I am a college student, and I just like your dogs am in need of frequent study breaks! I have frequent holes in my schedule where it would be very easy for me to stop by and play or check on your furry friends. I am always respectful of the structure you have provided for your dog and will work on its schedule. I know how important routine is for animals, so that always remains my priority.

About: I grew up with cats and always treated them like they are the most special creatures ever to exist. This feeling has continued to expand now that I have a dog in my own home. She is the princess of our hearts and home. They are never “just a pet.” They are family. I will make sure they are safe, loved, and reassure them their family is coming back home. I am a stay at home Mom so I have flexibility to help with your fluffy babies. I know how hard it is to not take your pet with you somewhere. I will make sure your fur baby is loved and safe. My little toy poodle is our princess of our house. She isn’t just a pet. She is our fluffy baby. We make sure she is up to date on all vaccinations, bathed every week, groomed every other month, and daily walks when possible. I take great care to ensure she has the best, most happiest little life. I would do the same for your pets, too!
River Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Our experience with Eva was outstanding. She cared for our Yorkie, Copper, over four days, providing excellent care and attention to detail. Eva's communication was superb, with regular photo updates and texts that kept us fully informed throughout. She followed Copper's feeding and outdoor routines meticulously, which helped build trust between them. Within a couple of days, Copper felt at ease enough to sit with Eva on the couch, showcasing the bond they formed. Given Copper's unique personality, which demands trust on his terms, Eva's ability to win him over speaks volumes about her capabilities. We strongly recommend Eva for her services and anticipate booking her again when we go on vacation! Thank you, Eva!

I can’t thank Brenna enough for her help. I had a last-minute family emergency and she stepped up immediately to care for my dog and two cats. She was incredibly reliable and professional throughout the entire stay. It’s a huge relief to find someone you can trust with multiple pets on such short notice. Everything went smoothly, and I will definitely be booking her again!

Jesi was so easy to communicate with and was so energetic! She made it so easy to work with. When you’re asking for someone to help with your furry friend you want to make sure you’re putting them into the right hands and I felt so at ease and confident when working with Jesi!
