“Hannah is amazing! One of our cats is diabetic and needs insulin injections and has a special diet while the other is very shy and wary of new people. Hannah was super communicative and understood their needs so well. She worked with me throughout the stay to make any adjustments as needed. When you have a pet with medical needs, being able to have a stress free weekend away is the best compliment I could possibly give!”


“Chelsea did an awesome job taking care of my little guy. He’s just a puppy and she was sure to feed him and take him out for me. I work full-time and I just need a little help on my longer days and she is awesome. 💗🐾”


About: I truly believe pets have the sweetest souls and can form the best bonds with us, which makes them not just our babies, but our best loyal friends. I have had pets in my home my whole life and I can't imagine it any other way. From snuggles to playing or walking your dog ( if hired for dog walking) I will treat them as if they are my own, with love and attention. I love the many personalities of each fury friend and getting to know each one and connect with them. I am currently working part time during the day but can adjust my schedule. To do drop ins in the early morning, afternoon's and evenings! Feel free to message me so we can work something out! I am not currently offering pet care in my home however I am happy to come to your home for drop in visits and dog walking!


“Alyssa was amazing with our dog and cats! She sent me daily updates and pictures! I feel like they are well taken care of when under her care and I will be using her services aagin!”


About: I’ve taken care of many types of animals growing up from horses to cat and dogs. I’m very confident in walking any dog any size, since in my school we’ve learned to adjust and adapt on animals behavior. I also can do any grooming needed (nails, brush teeth, bathe) if you can’t or too wary. I’ve also have well experience in cats. Ive owned cats since I was 15 so if needed I can also do any grooming needs as well. With senior dogs I know they may be more work than a normal dog but I’m up to the task without a second thought! I’ve had much experience with senior dogs. I understand that having animal comes with time management and that’s where I can help! I am current in vet tech school so I have the weekends available and Friday after 4:30pm. I am also willing to go after school mon-Friday after 4:30pm. For the animals in my house they get treated just like a member of the family! I make sure my cat and dog are always content, I take my dog out on daily walks and ensure my cat gets his daily play time. For the animals of your home they will be treated just the same.

“Amber is awesome! Our second time working with Amber. We had previously worked with her back in October and when a trip after Christmas came up, she was the first person we thought of. She's super awesome about checking on the little ones and making sure all was right with them. The kids and I loved the updates with the photos of our little ones. While we always worry leaving our pets home, we felt good knowing they were in great hands with Amber.”


About: I've had many years of dog experience. Working in a dog Inn, I've met dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments. From very anxious pups to reactive older dogs, I can garentee your pup will be well loved under my care. I've been doing training for several years, we practice positive reinforcement training in our home. My own pup is special needs, being born with megaesophagus. It is important to me to make sure your pup feels safe and comfortable in my care, and if your pup needs some special attention I will happily help! Im working a part time job, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! Any day of the week, no matter of early or late. If your dog was to stay in our home, we have a lovely half an acre yard for them to play in. I have two friendly pups in my home, but I also have two extra rooms. So if your pup wants to be alone and play, my dogs will be put away in their kennels while your pup is around. If your pup needs to be kenneled, that works too! They would have a quiet room to be kenneled in. Making sure your pup is comfortable is our biggest priority, whether it's in my home or yours!

About: I have taken care of all different types of pets, from farm animals, to house pets you name it I can handle it! I am able to care for any type of pet. I currently have a full time schedule available for your needs Starting in September I will be in a full time will still be looking to care for pets. I have a very large fenced in yard with 3 other dogs. 2 Doodles, and a small mixed breed. Rest assure your pet will be treated with love.

About: I've taken care of pets since I was about age ten. I see animals as part of the family as my pets have been some of my greatest companions over the years. As an educator, I am home full time for the summer months until early August. Once school begins, I am available late afternoons and evenings. I have two crates, one small for cats and one midsize for dogs. I can crate your dog if needed. I have a small room that they can sleep in to give them privacy. I enjoy walking pets and caring for them daily.


“Erika did an amazing job with my dog. It was my first time using Rover and I was hesitate about the process. Erika easily worked me to get both me and my dog comfortable and ready for her drop in visits.I came home to a happy dog! I would highly recommend Erika, I will be using her again! :)”


About: I have grown up with cats my entire life. We always had a house full of cats! Now I am on my own and have 2 cats of my own. Cats have been my favorite animal since I was a little girl. They all have such different personalities and are full of life. It's my dream to own a cat sanctuary one day. I will play with your cat, pet him, snuggle and give him all the love in the world! I have so much experience in how to deal with them in doing their litter, wet food, kibble, changing their water, etc. I understand that Rover’s rate system can sometimes be a little unclear, so here’s a breakdown of my pricing 🐾 Drop-In Visits $27 for a 45-minute visit +$6 for a full 1-hour visit Holiday rate: $35 for a 45-minute visit, +$6 for a full 1-hour visit 🐾 Overnight Visits – $55 Stay in your home from approximately 6:30 PM to 7:30 AM Includes both evening and morning feedings Additional cats: +$10 each per night Optional afternoon visit for an extra feeding/playtime: +$15 🐾 Full-Day with Overnight Care – $125 Includes both daytime care and an overnight stay Requires flexibility for me to briefly leave during the day to care for my own pets 🐾 Extended Stays Available as long as there’s scheduling flexibility I would also like to mention that, for safety precautions, I require having someone accompany me during meet-and-greets. I work fully remotely, which allows me the flexibility to tailor my schedule to your needs. Whether you’d like me to stop in for a couple of hours in the morning, drop by during the day, or stay into the evening, I’m happy to accommodate. I can easily bring my laptop, set up, and stay for as long as you'd like me to spend time with your babies. I will be very patient and calm with pets that are withdrawn or scared. Pets are sensitive to change and may be missing their family. I will be sure to maintain their schedule as much as possible. I will send lots of pictures and videos to you daily to help keep you comfortable. I will also write out each visit via text or notepad to let you know how much they ate, drank and how often they went potty between each visit.

About: The care I have for dogs goes above and beyond. Wether it be small dogs, or big dogs, i’m always up for a challenge. I have had experience with both small and bigger dogs. I used to have a pug named Daisy and a bull mastiff named Buddy, just to give notice of the difference in size I have accustomed too. I have since gotten a black female pug named Nova, who will be 7 on July 16. I also have two big breeds, Charlie, who is a german shepard/lab mix, and Daisy, who’s a mutt. I have always had a love for animals, especially dogs, since I was only 6 years old. But then again, what kid hasn’t? Nursing school takes up half of my schedule, so that leaves the other half to love up on my own pups (or even yours!) Owning 3 dogs may seem like a lot of work, but it’s the craziness from it that keeps me sane. Going from owning a lazy, sleepy pug, to an energetic crazed lab, I’ve gotten accustomed to caring for dogs with different needs. I feed my dogs two meals a day, while also maintaining time to make sure they are playing enough to get their energy out. I attempted to crate train my dogs, but at the end of the day, I think they want cuddles more than I do! I can be lenient, but stern when it comes to behavior or needs.

About: Hello! My name is Courtney B. I’m 29 years old and can say I’ve been an animal lover for all those years! I’ve always been surrounded by animals growing up from cats & dogs to birds and lizards! My favorite thing about them all is their unique personalities. I’ve taken care of a countless number of animals and have helped family and friends with theirs when needed! I recently lost my favorite pup in the world and that was the most heartbreaking day ever!!! But I still have my cat to keep me company on the sad days. She is my little snuggle bug. Animals are my passion! I hope I am considered in taking care of your beautiful pups & kitties! I would love nothing more. I am currently working online from home so I have all the time in the world to care for your pets! I am very flexible. I live in a house with a big back yard, whether you need your pet to be taken out on a leash or I also have a doggy tie-out anchor which I can hook your pup up to to enjoy the outside on it’s own with being securely fastened. I have hooked up large breed-dogs to it and have had no problem!

About: I’ve taken care of animals and dogs ever since I was a child from horses, to geese to dogs. I’ve been a dog owner for over 10 years from senior dogs to puppies.

The same care and compassion that I give my patients I will be sure to give your animals.I treat every animal as of their my own and my house is their house. I’m currently employed part time working 1-3 days a week. My hours are flexible and fluctuate leaving valuable time for all pet care needs. My pets and your pets are a priority. I have 2 dogs of my own to keep yours company and have play time. I do not have a fenced in yard however have an acre lot and plenty of area where I may take your fur baby for a walk and potty breaks. I have two children who love dogs as much as I do and can’t wait to love your fur baby like their own. I treat all pets as part of the family and will be loved as such. If my dogs are on the couch yours will be as well!

About: I work at an animal hospital as a kennel attendant who takes care of dogs and cats for boarding and daycare. Everytime I see a dog or cat, my eyes light up. I have three dogs of my own and I love them more than anything. Dogs and cats are like family and deserve to be treated like one. Pet care fits into my daily routine everyday, whether it be at work or at home. My dogs are my everything. They are my children and they live a great life with us. I love all dogs and cats.

About: I am a dedicated dog lover and sitter. I provide personalized care for each dog, focusing on their unique needs. With a bit of experience and local knowledge, I ensure a safe and fun environment. I treat every dog like my own, providing regular updates and love while you’re away. I am currently working part time, and would love to fill the rest of the time with my other passion of pet sitting for the community. I make sure pets have their needs and time such as food, exercise, grooming, and training. My dogs and cats at home are very loving and I think the main reason is for the attention I spend with each one.
