About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for all animals and attention to detail. I have experience administering medications and actually enjoy keeping litter boxes clean and fresh. I’m reliable, gentle, and passionate about creating a calm, cozy space where your pet feels completely safe and loved. I work full-time weekday mornings, but after 1pm I’m all yours for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pet! I’m available Monday through Friday afternoons and evenings—weekends are my time to recharge with my own fur babies. I’d love to help make your pet’s weekday routine extra special! Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I focus on keeping things calm, safe, and loving. I follow your routines closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or meds—and give your pet all the love and attention they’re used to. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re part of my own little fur family.

About: Growing up on a farm, I have had dogs, cats, and all kinds of livestock. Observing animal behavior is key in knowing that an animal is happy and comfortable in their environment. I also have an animal science degree that has given me more insight to general health and diet. I work here on our farm. So my schedule is very flexible and can be adjusted to your pets routine and care. Going for walks or getting outdoors is an easy activity living on an acreage. We have multiple dog beds and allow pets on the furniture. We also have crates available if your pet needs some quiet time or if that is something they are used to.

About: Hi there! 👋 My name’s Brady, and I’m a reliable, tidy, and animal-loving house sitter. I don’t have any pets of my own right now, which is exactly why I love house sitting—it's a great way to spend time with animals and give them all the attention they deserve. I’ve recently house sat for friends and absolutely loved it. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just some company during the day, I’m happy to step in and make sure your pets feel loved and comfortable while you're away. Most of my work is remote, so I’m home a lot and can give pets consistent attention throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, which makes it easy for me to work around your pet's routines—feeding, walks, meds, etc. When I’m staying in someone’s home, I treat it with the same respect I’d want someone to treat mine. I keep things tidy, follow your instructions, and make sure your pets feel safe and at ease. I send regular updates and pet selfies (please tell me if I'm annoying) so you’re never left wondering how things are going.

About: My significant other and I live in a house with 3 dogs. We take our dogs (who are more like our kids)on a walk in our neighborhood or fenced in backyard and let them run around at least twice a day! Our dogs are spoiled and loved as they should be! We play ball and snuggle and they sleep with us too:) We'd love to love your pet while you're away! I work part time at WagZone dog day care so I have a lot of free time for my own pups. I love walks, hikes on our land outside of time or just fetch time in the yard. Fenced in yard allows dogs to run freely all day with a dog door to a sheltered garage. My dogs get along with all other souls.

Animals are my world and I love working and hanging out with them daily. I own a dog and 2 cats and love to cuddle them and train them so they can become and live their best life possible.

About: All sorts of dogs have been in my life for as long as I can remember. I have never lived in a home that does not have dogs roaming around, whether they are freshly off nursing or oldies that have trouble getting around! Dogs have always been my God send - I have a soft spot for them and I have yet to meet a dog that doesn’t have a soft spot for me! I have raised dogs, taken care of dogs, and had old aged dogs put down - you name it, I’ve been through it/done it! I have a dog of my own, so every morning I am with her, I come home for about an hour at lunch and spend more time with her, then my days get done fairly early so I have the rest of the day and night to spend with her doing all sorts of things! We take walks, play fetch, and even take trips to the dog park! I truly treat pets the way I treat people. I have had plenty of responsibilities since I was very young; I have been a babysitter since I was 10 years old, and dog sitter since I was 7. I am completely used to cleaning up messes and I am always making it a point to leave homes better than I have found them (sweeping, cleaning countertops, doing extra dishes, etc.). I take privacy very seriously and would never invade anyone in any way that I would not be okay with someone invading my own personal things. I am very welcoming to anything, however I do believe in consequences: if a dog gnaws on me I give a love tap to the nose and a stern “NO”, nothing out of the ordinary.

About: I love animals as if they are my own kids. I can promise you that your pet/pets will be safe with me and will love me. I work full time M-F but can fit schedule into mine. Let’s give it a go. If it doesn’t work I am sure we can figure something out. I don’t currently have pets of my own so I would have to use your kennel but I do have a big back yard. They will have fun.

From the very beginning, Sydney S. has had a natural, undeniable connection with animals—especially dogs. Having grown up with pets in her life since birth, caring for and understanding them has always come as second nature to her. Sydney doesn't just “watch” pets—she nurtures, comforts, and forms bonds with them in a way that is truly remarkable. Even as a young girl, Sydney’s compassion and maturity stood out. She became one of the youngest volunteers at the Aberdeen Area Humane Society, where her dedication and care earned her the well-deserved honor of Volunteer of the Month. Her commitment was not just about showing up—it was about showing up with her whole heart. In high school, Sydney rescued her first dog, a moment that spoke volumes about her courage, empathy, and unwavering belief that every animal deserves a safe, loving home. That spirit of kindness has continued to shine through in everything she does. Since junior high, Sydney has provided loving and reliable dog-sitting services for countless families. Whether it’s caring for elderly dogs with special needs or energetic puppies who need constant attention and affection, Sydney brings a deep sense of responsibility, patience, and joy to each pet she looks after. Pet owners trust her not only because she is dependable, but because she treats every animal as if it were her own. Sydney S. is more than a pet-sitter or animal lover—she is a true caregiver, advocate, and friend to animals. Anyone who places their pet in her care can rest easy knowing they are being loved and looked after by someone with a rare and genuine gift.

Kelly has many years of experience with all sorts of animals. However, she has always held dogs as her favorite. She’s believes in giving them all the love, care, attention, and belly rubs they deserve. We have 2 small corgis and one blue heeler she looked after for a few days and it was wonderful! Not only did they return safe and happy, they were not full of energy. (She was very active with the dogs, playing fetch, going for walks, etc.) She knew exactly how to keep them busy and having fun. I would recommend her to anyone who has a dog.

I couldn't be happier with my experience using Rover! My sitter was incredibly kind, professional, and provided regular updates with pictures of my pup. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands. When I returned, she was happy, well-cared for, and had clearly been treated like family. I highly recommend Rover to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving pet care!"

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including feeding, grooming, administering basic medications, and ensuring their safety and comfort through attentive, compassionate care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I make time each day for feeding, exercise, grooming, and companionship, making sure pets feel safe, healthy, and loved. It’s not just a task—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. Whether in my home or a client’s, I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s needs and routine. This includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, administering medication if needed, and keeping their environment clean and safe. I follow any specific instructions closely and make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and well-loved while in my care.

About: I love animals as if they are my own kids. I can promise you that your pet/pets will be safe with me and will love me. I work full time M-F but can fit schedule into mine. Let’s give it a go. If it doesn’t work I am sure we can figure something out. I don’t currently have pets of my own so I would have to use your kennel but I do have a big back yard. They will have fun.
