“Luke has been a fantastic sitter for our dogs. He’s really good to them, asks the right questions and does a great job communicating with us. He also helped us out in a bind when an unexpected visiter stopped by! Highly recommend Luke!”

“Michelle was just absolutely wonderful with Snow and Storm. This was my first experience with Rover and Michelle's hospitality has made me a satisfied customer. Thank you!”


“Jean was great with the cats. Did the basics (food, water, etc) of course but spent quality time with them. They were so comfortable with Jean that she was able to take pictures of all the ‘kids’! On my next adventure, I hope Jean will be available.”

“Emerson is INCREDIBLE! Our pups can be particular and she took the time to get to know them and their unique personalities! She is patient and truly cares about the pups. We will most definitely book her again!”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 9. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their pets while they were out of town. I have experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities of dogs from gentle greyhounds to energetic border collies! I also have experience petsitting multiple dogs and cats at once. I am a teacher on summer break so I have lots of time and attention to devote to your animals! I am available at any time of the day. I have a fenced in backyard and currently no animals in my house. I live walking distance from a lot of great dog walking spots! I am also available to care for pets in their own home.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring dog lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all breeds and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or more laid-back and cuddly, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, giving medications if needed, and sticking to any instructions that help keep your dog happy and stress-free. I understand how important routine and attention are, and I treat every dog like they’re my own! I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is to make sure your dog gets plenty of care, exercise, affection, and companionship while you’re gone. I’d love to meet you and your dog(s)! I'm a May 2026 Augie grad who is navigating my first full time job post grad, but with a pretty flexible schedule outside of that! I am free weekends at pretty much any time and Monday thru Friday after 4pm. I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and care based on their individual needs and energy levels. For cat sitting, I understand the importance of patience and creating a calm environment so cats can feel comfortable at their own pace while maintaining a clean litter box, offering attention (if wanted), and of course food/treats and water. I always follow owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, leash handling, litter box cleaning, and any special routines or preferences. Safety is very important to me, so I’m attentive during walks, careful with doors and gates, and always mindful of pets’ behavior and surroundings. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are happy and in good hands while they’re away.

About: Ever since I was little, I have taken care of both young and senior animals, dogs and cats. I share love all the same no matter the size, age, or breed. I work full time, 9am-5pm on Monday and Tuesday, then 8am-4pm on Wednesday, friday, and Sunday. I am open to leaving work on my break, which can be taken at any time to feed, play, or let your animals outside. I will utilize the environment in which your pets are in to ensure they have the best and safest time possible, whether that's playing in the yard, walking your furry friends, or just lounging inside.
“Abby was prompt and sent pictures of my little guy during the visit. When we got home, he was very happy! I highly recommend Abby. She is great with animals and very trustworthy.”

“Sophia did an amazing job following my instructions and taking care of my pets (ferrets and cats) when we were gone for the weekend. She has been easy to reach and left detailed report cards after each visit.”

“Mandy was fantastic and took care of my two dogs very well. Kept them happy and in high spirits while I was gone. She played with them and gave them belly scratches. Great communication, and response times. Provided wonderful pictures every visit.”
About: I’ve caring for all sorts of animals since I was a little girl. I grew up caring for rabbits, gerbils, birds, lizards, cats and dogs. My family friend had a pitbull dog sanctuary, saving so many dogs from euthanasia. Growing up in an environment where every animal life is important, gives me the insane amount of love I have for all animals. I have volunteer experience at the Whatcom Humane Society located the Seattle area. I also have taken care of many different breeds of cats and dogs, knowing each has particularly personalities and require different things. I have had very timid and social cats, as well as seriously hyper or very mellow dogs. Exercise is really important to me when it comes to animals that need it. I can and will do everything I can to make sure your pet gets the exercise it wants and needs, as well as playing and getting the love and nurture all animals deserve regardless of look and size. Our fur babies are more than pets, they are family! I work from 4am - 9am everyday except Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am also a student, so it depends on who books first and what times they have booked for the day. My two cats thankfully get along well now, but for about 7 months I had to keep them separate and stayed committed to a slow introduction for safety and for the best possibility for bonding. I have patience and I can and will take all safety precautions necessary (as instructed).
“Thank you so much!! I felt so comfortable leaving the dogs in your care. The check in messages and pictures were so nice! Daisy and Leo were happy and not stressed when we got home! The house looked like the dogs weren't even here :)”

About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was a kid. I grew up in what my family and I would call a zoo! 3 large dogs 6+ cats. We’d take in strays get them fixed and find them homes, so the house was always loaded with furry friends. I’d help with feeding, grooming, and cleaning up pet waste. I’ve always had a love caring for animals of all kinds including hermit crabs, guinea pigs, geckos, even grooming and feeding horses at horse camp! It is a true passion of mine. Now as I’ve gotten older and childhood pets have passed, it’s just me, my mom, our Doberman Ruby and our 4 cats (all rescues) and we take Ruby on a walk 3-4 times a day together getting upwards of 15k steps and id love to do more! I am a new student at Black Hawk College in search of part time work to accommodate for my soon to be full-time school schedule upcoming in the fall. A typical day for me looks like morning coffee with my mom, walking our Doberman Ruby, going to the gym, & going for more walks lol. I am also a personal assistant caregiver for a friend of mine 6pm-8pm every other Friday & pick up evening shifts when needed. My schedule is quite flexible at the moment but may vary once securing another part-time gig and starting school I am very respectful and mindful when being in other peoples homes and tending to their animals who needs may vary. I am dedicated to your pets and ensuring a positive experience for all involved. I know I’ve mentioned how my mother and I care for our animals in our home but I do want to clarify that itll just be me when providing my services to your furbabies!
About: I worked in a kennel for a little over a year in which I practiced cleanliness, exercise, care, and assisted in giving medications. I have three dogs and two cats at home that I love unconditionally, and have taught me to have a lot of patience. I’m more of a dog person, but I love animals! I think it’s important to ensure yours and your animal’s comfort so I’d love to do meet and greets! Over the summer, I will be off for most of June and able to provide care during the week as well. Then I will be every other week during July, and back to being open on weekends during the school year. I take the time and care to get acquainted with the animals and recognize that they may need time to know I’m a safe person, so I’d love to do meet and greets whenever possible! I’d love to build consistent clients to continue to build a trusting relationship as well. Any mess I find will be cleaned up to the best of my ability, because as we know with animals, accidents happen!
About: I have plenty of personal experience I have two energetic dogs very playful and I love them . I’m an animal lover I plan on going to school for veterinary My availability is completely open and flexible to any schedule provided Monday -Friday just communicate with me please I’m willing to workout with anything available I have an apartment and I take my dogs on a field trip to the dog park for long walks and sometimes we may get a pup cup
About: I've watched beloved fur babies for friends and family for 15 years or more. Mostly got into it by word of mouth and my flexible availability. I can provide references if needed. Since I was young we have always had animals, and it's easy for me to be in a routine feeding them..just as I would myself. I meal prep and train regularly. So schedules are regular and second nature for me. I will care for your pet to your specific needs as possible. Weather it be certain potty schedules, and/or medication schedule. I have no problem adhering to the best of my power. I do work full time 8 hour days, & off most weekends. But can be flexible
“Erica was great! We only needed her for two drop in visits since we were out of the home for about 13 hours. She came over a few days before to meet out r pups and see how to take of Bowie (he recently tore his ACL). She sent pictures and wrote report cards for both of her visits. We’ll definitely have her hang out with the kids again ?”

Moriah is caring, communicative, and dependable . She sends updates via text, sends the cutest pictures, and I live her video snippets. Being away for 12 hour shifts can be stressful and worrisome. Knowing Moriah is there to care for my boy helps alleviate that. I trust that he is in safe, capable hands. Thank you, Moriah for being there for Hershel.

Aidan has been great to work with so far! He is helping us as a drop-in sitter on days I have to be in the office and our pup, Bonnie, has had so much fun with him. Quick to respond, great availability, and very understanding of my pup’s quirks as she’s still got a lot of puppy in her!
