“Brian was great with my dog! He sent me lots of pictures and updates which put my mind at ease! I was worried about leaving her with a stranger but the pictures of them playing and her chilling out let me enjoy my vacation. Will definitely be calling on Brian again.”

“Kendra was fantastic! She sent several updates and photos each day while I was gone and Tucker really enjoyed his cuddle and play time with her ❤️ I came home to a tidy home and happy pup! Tucker looks forward to hanging out with Kendra again!”

“Gabriela was wonderful and responsive and came ahead of time to meet which allowed both of us to be comfortable with each other. She was also very responsive and respectful of my concerns. I highly recommend her.”


About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 20 years and currently live with four of my own, so I truly understand multi-dog households, routines, and different personalities. I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and reliable. During drop-in visits, I focus on safety, enrichment, and clear communication so you feel confident every time you’re away. I work at a campground, so my schedule varies by season, but I plan in advance and communicate clearly. I focus on drop-in visits and short check-ins in your home, and I’m reliable about timing, updates, and following your pet’s routine. I care for pets in your home exactly as instructed, keeping their environment safe, clean, and consistent. I follow detailed routines for feeding, medication, and enrichment, and I send regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Amanda is amazing! They are so happy and comfortable with her. She supports the needs of the 5 month old puppy and the 13 year old dog (and the cat) with love and structure. Her years of experience with dogs really shows!”


“Rose was absolutely amazing with Ghost 🐾 You can tell she genuinely loves animals and treated him like her own. She kept us updated, gave him so much love and attention, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Coming home to a happy, relaxed pup says everything. We’re so grateful for her and would trust her with Ghost again in a heartbeat 💕”

About: Hey there! My name is Dorottya. I've taken care of different kinds of pets since I was a kid and I always seem to be a pet magnet when I visit my friends, they just can't get enough of my cuddles. I've also been known to talk and sing to animals, it makes them happy and sooths them. I believe that creating a comfortable and caring environment while pet owners are away will help bridge the gap between the times they will be together again. No one wants a sad puppy or kitty while pet parents are away. My main options on here are for house sitting and dog walking. I have worked as a nurse for 10 years, so I have a medical background. I work full-time on my own business and typically leave a couple days open to my rover clients. I'm currently working on my own business, and I'm available to pet sit and dog walk a couple days a week from 9 am to overnight when needed. I respect the homes of my clients when pet sitting, or dog walking. I love to tailor the day to fit the individual pet's needs and their schedules for feedings, medications (if pet is taking them), potty, and activities (play time or walking).
“Grace is the best! She is very comfortable with our lab, and seemed very confident with her care. Our kitties also really enjoyed having Grace around. Grace is great at sending sweet update photos and messages, and we are looking forward to being able to book her for future pet care!”

About: I offer in house boarding So your pet doesn’t have to sleep on a hard floor and be in a kennel. Your pet will be treated as though they are one of my own. If they sleep with you they sleep with me! They are my first priority! Come on out and do a meet and greet! Pet boarding is my biggest priority. Your pet will have all the attention, fun time and proper care they need during their visit no matter how long their visit is. I care for the pets I sit as though their own owner is caring for them. If they have food and water in front of them, 24/7 that will be something that they will have at my facility if they don’t and they have a different regiment that is something they will have in my facility if they have toys, beds, medication at their home that is what i will provide for them as well. If they are, or aren’t allowed on the furniture that is what i will do If they sleep in your bed with you at night they will sleep with me at night. If they go on multiple daily walks, that is what i will do. Your pet will be cared for just the way you care for them.

If you’re looking for someone reliable, experienced, and genuinely obsessed with animals… I’m your person.😁💗🐾 Caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. With a flexible schedule, I’m generally available for weekdays, evenings, and weekends, which makes it easy for me to provide reliable and consistent care.

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and have experience taking care of them for friends and family. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pups—big or small—and enjoy spending time walking, playing, feeding, and just making sure they’re happy and comfortable.

I have a flexible work schedule so I am available on mondays before 4pm. Tuesday 10am-1pm. Thursday Noon-4. Available all day Wednesday and Friday. I am looking to fill up my day in between my caregiving job. I currently do not offer pet care in my home but possibly in the future. I do offer pet sitting in the clients home! I can do overnights as well. I will make sure all the pets needs are taken care and make them extra comfortable.

About: I have been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my routine. From a young age, I helped with feeding, walking, playtime, and daily care, which taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each animal’s unique personality. I carry that same level of attention and care into every pet I look after today. Right now, I have open availability to pet sit whenever I am needed and when my availability changes, I will change it on here immediately! I offer in-home pet sitting at my client’s house, which helps pets stay relaxed and comfortable in their own environment. This setup allows me to provide consistent care while respecting each pet’s routine and needs.
About: Adult cat owner for a year and a lifetime of pet care and sitting experience. I work remotely in communications and marketing, so I have open availability and am very flexible with my time and attention. I’ve been an in-house sitter and dog walker for many friends over the last several years and have lots of experience with senior pets and anxious dogs. I work from home, fully remote, so I’m very flexible! Most of my job involves on-screen virtual meetings, writing and phone interviews so I’m happy to break up my day with walks, cuddles, snuggles and play time! I have an indoor-only cat who loves playtime and cuddling, but I also have experience sitting for anxious dogs and senior pets. I’m patient, calm and caring, and happy to sit with them, walk them or play indoor and outdoor.
About: As a dedicated dog lover and proud owner of two golden retrievers, I understand that every dog is family.

I provide patient, loving care tailored to each dog’s personality, age, and routine. Whether it’s keeping your energetic pup entertained or giving extra attention to older dogs, I treat every dog like my own—with love, consistency, and a whole lot of belly rubs. I’m a college student studying early education at the Ohio State. I have a pretty flexible schedule with my classes but would love to try to accommodate your pups needs. While I prefer daytime care, I can also accommodate overnight stays with advance notice. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I’m excited to give your dog the attention, playtime, and love they deserve! While I don’t offer in-home boarding, I’m happy to care for your dog in the comfort of your own home. I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, and I’ll treat your home and your dog with the utmost respect and care. My own dogs are protective, so I don’t offer playdates, but I’m more than happy to take your pup on walks, to the park, or to any favorite spots they enjoy. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities.

“Laura was great! She is very responsive and friendly. She sent several updates and photos each day during the weekend sitting and I knew my Tucker boy was being well taken care of 🐶 ❤️ I came home to a tidy house and a happy pup 😊”

“Sabrina was a wonderful house sitter when our normal sitter was already booked. We were on vacation for a week and Sabrina took wonderful care of our dogs and our house. Dogs spent lots of time playing outside while we were gone and were obviously well cared for when we returned. We returned to a clean house and happy dogs. Would definitely book Sabrina again!”
