“Amanda is ALWAYS SOO reliable. She takes great care of my skittish dog and makes sure all the cats are taken care of, and my crazy cat doesn’t get out. She really goes above and beyond. Always know my babies will be taken care of when I’m out of town because of her. Thanks again! 🐾💖”
“Bradley was amazing to work with. He kept our three kitties company throughout the week while we were away. Each picture he sent I could tell the kitties were enjoying him being there.”
“I can’t recommend Elizabeth enough! From the moment we met, it was clear that she genuinely cares for all animals & treats them like family. All 3 of my dogs adored her & I received regular updates that gave me total peace of mind while we were away. Five stars all the way & we will be in contact with her for all future dog sitting!”
“David is so good with our dogs. He always sends me photos of how they did when he drops in and the dogs always seem better for his visits. Great sitter. Great availability. Highly recommend.”
“Jensen went above and beyond to take a lot of awesome pictures and made sure Kitty was living her best life while I was out of town I’d highly recommend”
“Anne was wonderful and we were so blessed to have her as our pet sitter. She was able to get our shy girl, Ginger, to come out of her shell (simply amazing!). Our boy, Bear, is going through withdrawals and looking for her now that we are back home! They were good pals! Lol Thank you, Anne! 💕”
“We booked Leesa last minute to check in on our dogs so that we could go away for an overnight trip. We haven’t used a sitter outside of our family in a long time, but we’re happy to say that our boys have a new friend! We will definitely be booking Leesa for future trips!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 6 and I’m great with all sizes, breeds and ages as I’ve helped multiple dogs give birth and I’ve also taken care of geriatric dogs. I have volunteered at Our Farm Sanctuary and I foster for The Rescue Haven My life has always been surrounded by dogs, I love my animals more than anything. The first thing I do when I wake up is take care of the dogs, take them on a walk and then give them their breakfast and enrichment bowls/mats. I base my daily routine off my pets! I have fenced in yard and three fixed golden retrievers that are sweethearts. If you use a crate, I do ask that you provide that as I only have 2 of my own and they are occupied by my two youngest dogs. I have to crate Tucker and Dixie because they will eat anything when they’re bored, INCLUDING a wall 🤣 the crate will be cleaned and sanitized before pickup. I also ask that you provide your own food, that way there’s no upset bellies! I have plenty of natural treats if you’re okay with your dog having them
“Britany was an amazing pet sitter. She came to our home twice a day for over a week. We have three kittens all under 1 year so there were some special instructions about feeding and keeping them apart at times. Britany went above and beyond to make sure all our cats had the care and attention they needed while we were gone. She gave detailed updates as well as included numerous photos after each scheduled visit. Once you meet her you know she has the biggest heart! We need to go out of town soon and plan to book Britany again!”
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of animal you can since I was little. I worked at a kennel for two years and during my time there I trained(including my own service dog!), walked dogs, played with all sorts of animals, bathed and grooms all breeds of dogs. My favorite breeds are the large dogs! I hope to meet you & your furbaby soon! I work full time night shift sunday-wednesday so morning and night time walks are always perfect. During my off days I would be available 24/7. I don’t offer in-home services so it would depend on the client but on walks and outdoor playing I would make sure that all harness/leash/collars are on correctly and that all gates are locked/shut properly.
About: I’ve loved and cared for a variety of animals throughout my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, a parakeet, hamsters, gerbils, rats, ferrets, fish, a bearded dragon, and a red tail boa. I LOVE animals. When I was a kid I would even spend my weekends at our local pet shop holding and playing with their animals. I am a mother of two teenagers, and have been a small business owner, so I am extremely responsible, reliable, caring, attentive to detail, and have the skills to do anything necessary to care for your pets. I am available every week day while my kids are in school, and some weekend availability. I recently sold my half of my small business and am now taking some time for myself (that I want to fill with animals!), so I am almost always available and flexible. We have a fenced in yard, but we also live in a beautiful historic neighborhood and love taking walks around the neighborhood and to the park as often as possible.
“Miranda took great care of my cat Mia. She made sure she was stocked with food and water and provided some much-needed attention while we were away.”
About: Hi! My name is Emma. I’m 31 years old. I have had a passion for animals for as long as I can remember. Recently, my 15 year old puppy, Rufus, passed away unexpectedly. I miss being a dog mom and I’m hoping this will fill those voids! I treat every animal as my own, big or small. I have many many years of taking care of different types of breeds & im willing to learn about more! I currently work for myself doing instacart. I’m out and about all day. I have all the time in the world to come take care of your babies! As always, your pets will be treated as if they were my own. If caged; I will make sure they have the items they need in and out, otherwise, your babies will roam freely around my house. I do have a single level home with a smaller backyard but we have a dog park just down the street from us!
“Brittany was great to work with! She took notes herself during the meet and greet which was great. She kept us up to date on how everyone was doing with each visit including pictures. It was awesome having someone who was familiar and comfortable with ferrets as well as medicating our cats. Will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
About: A trustworthy professional with a consistent schedule. I treat your fur babies like they're my own because I'm a pet parent too! I’m comfortable around all types of dogs big or small. I have a complex lovable 55+lb Lab-Mix and a spicy calico (both rescues) of my own because I love animals! I'm responsible, creative and have been described as an old soul. I'd love to get to know you and your fur babies more! I’m currently working full time; however, I work a consistent 8-5 schedule and are available all weekends. I'm more than happy to do accommodations if needed (early morning, late night etc.) Let me know and I will figure out a plan that works for the both of us. I have a 5-year-old Lab/ Shepherd as well as a 5-year-old calico cat and have lots of experience around pets. I also have always had a passion for animals. When my partner and I move in together, I will have 2 cats and 3 dogs.
About: I've always loved animals, ever since my childhood. I have experience with both dogs and cats. My experience with cats even includes giving medicine, which can be a challenging task for most. I have extremely open availability to care for pets, as I am currently between jobs. I've decided to take some time away from my corporate path and enjoy simpler things that bring me joy. Animals are one of those things! I pay careful attention to every animal in order to notice their unique needs. All pets have different personalities and I make sure to interact with each pet in a way that works best for them.
“Truly couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience. Sierra was friendly and responsive from the beginning and that continued throughout the entire booking. She took care of our babies as if they were her own, sent comforting updates and pictures, and made sure everything was taken care of for our cats while we were gone. We just moved to Dayton in 2021 and hadn’t gone on an extended trip yet and she made this whole experience way less overwhelming and stressful. We will absolutely be using Sierra again for future trips and recommending her to anyone who asks. Thank you, Sierra!”
“Brooke did a wonderful job with my pup. She gave me lots of feedback/updates and sent lots of pictures. Will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Alice was absolutely wonderful one of the few people who our shyest cat has warmed up too!”
“Yolena was incredibly helpful and left robust notes at the end of her visit that left me feeling sure that my baby was well-taken care of. She communicated well and even helped with mail without being asked. Would highly recommend Yolena to any pet parent!”

“Sara is a wonderful pet owner & has the biggest heart for dogs! As a child, she would walk the neighborhood dogs, free of charge, just so she could spend some time with dogs even though she couldn’t get one of her own. This brief story encapsulates the longtime love and care Sara puts towards pets, dogs especially. She will love and bond with any pup that comes her way!”
