She was a great person to come see my cats. I'd call myself and pets on the higher maintenance type of situation and she was able to hand it all like a champ. She had to medicate 2 of them and was successful, spending how ever much time she needed to get them to take their meds. Very communicative and able to follow directions!

***** I recently had the pleasure of having Parker step in as a substitute dog sitter, and I must say I am absolutely delighted with her service. While my regular dog sitter was unavailable, Parker seamlessly filled the role and provided exceptional care for my furry friend. From the very beginning, Parker exhibited a high level of professionalism and a true passion for dogs. Her friendly and accommodating demeanor immediately put me at ease, and I felt confident in entrusting my beloved pet to her care. Throughout her time with my dog, Parker provided regular check-ins, complete with adorable pictures and updates. It was evident that she not only cared for my dog's physical well-being but also their emotional happiness. Furthermore, Parker's punctuality and reliability were impeccable. She consistently arrived at the scheduled times and made sure that my dog's feeding and playtime adhered to our usual routine. In summary, Parker, as a substitute dog sitter on Rover, went above and beyond my expectations. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals were truly impressive. My dog not only received excellent care but also clearly enjoyed her time with Parker. I wholeheartedly recommend Parker to anyone in need of a responsible and loving dog sitter. I am grateful for her outstanding service and will undoubtedly reach out to her again in the future.

About: Hi! Hablo inglés y español. I work part time and spend the rest of the time adventuring with my toddler. I'm looking to spend time with and care for dogs, and as a former dog owner I know how hard it can be to find a good sitter. After I spent 3 years caring for a dog with a chronic illness, I am accustomed to all sorts of needs and am happy to accommodate them. I have also lived with and cared for a senior dog and I can work with dogs of all ages. I will only take one dog at a time, unless they are from the same family. I have a small yard and good neighborhood for walks, so can be active with your dog or let them spend the day sitting on my lap! Let me know if you have any questions! I work part time in the community. Since I make my own schedule, I can be flexible to accommodate your dog’s needs! My toddler also loves dogs. I have a yard and a home with plenty of space for dogs to roam. Dogs will be monitored at all times and all medicines, cleaning supplies, etc. are safely stored. If your dog uses a crate, that is also welcome but not necessary. I will only take one dog at a time.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—from playful puppies to mellow seniors. I’m comfortable with crate routines, medication administration, and high-energy breeds that need extra playtime or structured walks. Whether your dog loves belly rubs, fetch marathons, or just quiet companionship, I tailor my care to fit their personality and needs. I treat every pup like my own and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-exercised while you’re away. I am home all day as I work remotely! I take several breaks throughout the day to make sure the animals are taken care of. We have 2 dogs, 2 cats and 18 chickens. Our animals are out and about all day in our home and our chickens have a coop outdoors. We are always outside with our animals to ensure safety.

About: Hi! My name is Stephanie, and my husband, three kids (3, 7, and 10) and I are so excited to love your dog while you’re away! A Roof for Ruffs is the brainchild of our 10yo daughter. We are a foster family for a local dog rescue organization where we take in one or two dogs at a time until they can find their forever homes. We’re having so much fun with fostering that our sweet girl suggested we take on paying clients between our fosters, and donate some of the proceeds to the same local dog rescue organization. ♥️ I’ve owned dogs my whole life. Between fostering, petsitting for family, neighbors and friends, and caring for my own pups, I have experience with all ages—from very young puppies to seniors and everything in between; small and large breeds; well-behaved and questionable; medical cases, and even the occasional cat. 😱 Your dog’s vacay siblings for their stay will include a 2yo female Great pyr/St. Bernard rescue pup, and two 4yo guinea pigs. We are so very excited to meet your dog, and to treat them like family for their stay. My husband works full time, but I am a freelance writer with flexible hours working from home while caring for our three kids. In other words: your pup won’t be left alone often! 😆 **Please note: all pets must have proof of updated vaccines and be okay with kids (they will be loved on and spoiled by our kiddos while they’re here!) I am home daily with my kids, so lots of potty breaks and playtime is possible throughout the day. We are available most weekdays or weekends unless blocked while we have a foster or for travel. We have a 4-foot aluminum fence in the backyard and live on a public park with a walking trail for easy exercise options. We have extra dog crates here if your pup is crate-trained or feel free to bring your own.

Sherman King is an excellent dog sitter. We have a reactive German Shepard who does not like anyone, making it very challenging to leave him. Sherman demonstrates a genuine love and compassion for animals, making them feel safe and comfortable. He is patient, responsible and has a great attention to detail. We have used him several times and are always very happy.

Gen is great with all animals, especially cats and dogs. I have trusted her to take care of my three dogs on several occasions when I have been away for work for extended periods of time and she came through flawlessly. She is responsible and trustworthy, her prices are fair and she offers a variety of services for your pets. Highly recommend!

About: I’ve cared for furbabies of mine and others’ since I was a little girl. My family had a small farm and we have always cared for animals. Snakes and chickens too! Animals are gifts to this world, and I’m honored with the opportunity to spend more time with them. I’m currently self-employed, so have plenty of time to work around your schedule and your furbabies needs. I live a very active lifestyle and happy to being your pet with me to the woods or on a walk to the park. If you have special requests I’m happy to help! I offer daycare at my home and sleepovers for pets in my/your home. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a big back yard, near the river and lots of room to play!
