Myah was great with my 105lb black Labrador. She dropped in on him throughout the day to entertain & feed him and make sure he got some exercise outside whilst I was away for 5 days. Very responsive providing lots of updates and pictures - would definitely recommend Myah

About: I’ve raised dogs, cats & goats since I was old enough to hold a leash! From bottle feeding kittens to training goats to do tricks, dogs feel like a breeze. For the last 6 years, I’ve taken care of family & friend’s dogs. My husband & I have a 80lb golden doodle (who is transitioning into his elder stage of life) so I understand the importance of daily walks, play dates, and proper grooming. I vow to apply the same care for your pet! I’m currently a server, so I work less than 30 hours a week & mainly evenings! This leaves me plenty of time to pet-sit or walk during the day, especially on my days off. I have a fenced in back yard, a park within a 3 minute walking distance, and an incredibly friendly golden doodle. He loves to play fetch and tug. We take our dog on daily walks, weekly baths, and administer the proper vitamins and ear care as he transitions into being an elder dog. It’s important that I translate these same practices to clients animals!

Alicia is the best! We recently moved to the area and had a pre planned trip so I was nervous leaving Rori in our new house, but Alicia made me feel so calm with lots of updates of how Rori was doing. She really goes the extra mile to ensure your pet’s happiness. So great to know we have a wonderful new pet sitter in our new home! Thanks Alicia!

Jailyn stayed at our house and took care of our sweet 16 year old pup while we were out of town. She was quick to communicate, took care of everything while we were gone, and left the house very clean upon our return. We will definitely be booking her for future travel!

Because of a family emergency that took us out state, Jeremiah stepped up and took care of our fur babies with very little notice. He stayed at our house overnight with our pets. He sent daily photos of both our pets and answered any questions we had. When we got home, our babies were happy and the house was clean. We would absolutely hire Jeremiah again!

About: I usually stick to my long-term clients but just recently chose to sign up on Rover. I’ve taken care of and watched dogs my whole life. Growing up around multiple sized animals helped me with being comfortable around all sorts of sizes and breeds. As well as cats. Feel free to check out my Facebook: Abrielle Sara Harrell If it’s a flexible schedule around my summer hourly job then it’ll be perfect. I can visit dogs in the morning, during break if possible, and during late evenings and even stay with them if needed. I give the pets play time and rest time. Keep them on an easy schedule based on what they’re up for. I can walk them and play with them. I’m also fine leaving them alone if that’s what they want.

About: Hello I am Emily! I am a great dog-walker, tug a war player and a responsible dog lover! My schedule is very flexible. I live just a block away from a big park. I have had big labradors all my life but I don’t discriminate! I love small and massive dogs alike. When I was younger I started a dog biscuit business and would cater dog parties. I hope you allow me the chance to get to babysit your 4 legged best friend! I am a small business owner and can typically step out of my store whenever your pup needs me. My shop is right downtown st. Joesph Working in clients home is best as my dog is a little to rambunctious at times. I’ve found it to be most comfortable for your pet to be in there own home with all treats, toys and normal comforts.

Haley was the best! It was our first time using rover. She came a few days early to meet our pups and my wife and I. During the stay, she kept us up to date with everything about the dogs, including pictures. She was very nice, attentive and flexible and we will definitely be booking with Haley again!

About: I’ve pet sat since I was a child and hold deep compassion and empathy for all animals. I’m attentive and calm, and I’ve never met an animal I petsat who doesn’t love me after one day. I’m here to provide the relief and reassurance that comes with every owners biggest worry; if their pets will be safe and comfortable with someone new. I’m a part-time employee with a very flexible schedule. Given a week long heads up, I can work in a petsitting day and time best for YOU! Yes, your availability comes over mine. Any day and time will work, all pets deserve to be cared for no matter the time of day! I always keep pets stimulated when bored, and consistently happy and comfortable. I make sure they have plenty of room to roam, play and hide, have plenty of treats and toys for them, and make sure each animal stays clean, brushed/pet and feeling safe.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments—no pup too big or small! I’ve also walked cats, administered meds, brushed teeth, and provided loving care for seniors. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’m experienced and happy to help. My fenced yard offers safe outdoor time, and I treat every animal like family. I currently have full availability and offer flexible, reliable care for your pets! I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, walks, daycare, and more—even same-day appointments. I do have little ones at home, so we may step out briefly for park outings, but never for long. Your pet will still get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is dog/cat - friendly, with a securely fenced yard, located on a quiet, low-traffic street. I clean with pet-safe products to ensure a healthy environment. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect and care as I do my own. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in safe, loving hands.

About: Having grown up with pets, I have a lifelong passion for animal care. From a young age, my siblings and I took on the responsibility of feeding, bathing, walking, playing with, and cleaning up after our pets. This experience taught me the importance of attentive and loving care. Additionally, my neighbors entrusted me with their beloved pets when they’ve gone on vacation. I’ve experience with rabbits, have one currently named Ms Bunny, she is eight. I had a guinea pig, named Master Splinter that lived to be 6. Kept and maintained a fish tank in my mid to late 20’s, contained lots of neon tetra, ghost shrimp, and a dwarf gourami! I have full availability to ensure loving care for your pets! My love for animals motivates me to ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. Rest assured, your furry friends will be well cared for under my watch. I am happy to care for your pets in their home where they are most comfortable. I love going for walks, playing with toys, and/or lounging around when it’s quiet.
