About: I have had about 10 years of experience with animals, whether a fish, a bird, cat or dog. I love dogs more than anything, I have basic knowledge when it comes to training puppies. I am even going to school to become a certified dog trainer. I am currently doing an online program for college, so it will be extremely easy for me to go to your home for your pet. I can even take your animal for walks, drives, and whatever else you'd like me to do. I have a really open schedule. I have chickens, dogs, and cats at home. I have always believed in using positive reinforcement when it comes to any kind of animal. I always have patience with mine and other peoples animals. I believe in treating animals with love and kindness like I would a person.
“Stephanie is my absolute favorite sitter that I've found through this site. She is dependable, loves our pups, and sends lots of pics. I can always count on her to give our pups the love and attention they need.”
About: Having grown up on a farm, caring for animals has always been second nature to me—especially dogs. From an early age, I learned the responsibility and joy that comes with tending to animals of all kinds, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well cared for. Many of the pets I have today were either rescues or animals I took in to help owners during times of transition. Currently, our family dog is nearly 15 years old and requires specialized care due to multiple health issues. This has given me extensive experience in administering medications, monitoring health conditions, and providing the patience and attention that senior dogs require. Whether it’s a young, energetic pup or an older dog needing extra care, I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet. Dog sitting isn’t just about supervision—it’s about ensuring each dog feels at home, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. With my background and deep love for animals, I strive to make every dog feel like part of the family. I work from home and run my own business, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and loving care for pets. Being home throughout the day allows me to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel secure and at ease. From feeding and playtime to administering medications and offering plenty of affection, I tailor my care to each animal’s needs. Whether they need extra attention, a calm space to relax, or special care, I make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home.
“Kia was so wonderful with our dog, Penny. She gave updates with photos and videos. Asked questions that showed she cared, for example, asking if Penny and her could play fetch outside with or without a leash. She was responsive, friendly, professional and wonderful to work with for the whole process.”
“This was our first time using anybody to watch our dog and home other than family or a boarding center, so we were super skeptical about the Rover process and hiring a stranger to watch our fur baby. However, quickly after meeting Logan, we knew we would welcome her in our home! She was very responsive, friendly and obviously loved animals. These traits were still apparent while she watched our dog in our home for 10 days. She sent us 2-3 pictures or videos of our dog daily (but also stated she didn’t have to if we didn’t want to be bothered on vacation) and we loved getting those updates! When we returned, the house was nice and clean, including fresh laundry and an empty dishwasher. She also offered to water our flowers and they were surprisingly healthier looking when we got back so I know she spent time holding up that offer too. Overall, our dog seemed happy and well cared for and we were pleased with the level of communication she provided. We will definitely use Logan again and would highly recommend her to anybody needing a pet sitter! We just hope she doesn’t get too popular! Thank you Logan!”
“Taylor is absolutely wonderful! We never worry when she is watching our furbabies. She does a great job keeping us updated & sends us photos regularly! We know our house and all is in good hands! She is our go to sitter!”
“Jen is an awesome sitter and always does more than expected. Our Westie is diabetic and has a pacemaker so he needs special care. Jen did not hesitate giving him shots and carrying him in and out. Jen took out the trash, picked up the yard, watered the plants and washed /dried her sheets. Contact Jen and see for yourself!”
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs since I was 14. I’ve given medicine, gone for needed late night walks, and have a flexible schedule that can work around your pets’ needs! I work from home, so my schedule can adjust as needed. There is the occasional in-person meeting, but I’m almost never gone more than 4 hours and will know in advance so we can figure out a proper solution. My work has usually included the basics of pet-care such as feeding them, taking them outside, and giving them proper attention. On occasion I’ve given medicine, helped stay consistent with basic training, and am more than willing to stay overnight.
About: I have been watching family friends' dogs for approximately 7 years. I am attentive and I get attached easily, so loving your pet will not be hard! I adore animals. When I am not working, I am taking visits and walking dogs. During my work break, I am making pit stops at home to let dogs potty, and give them lunchs. When I am house-sitting, I primarily stay at the house so I can keep an eye on both the animals and the house. I will do whatever is needed for the animals, whether that be medications at exactly 6 am to routine feedings. Whatever the animal needs, I try my best to fulfill it!
“Jerry was absolutely amazing and my puppers loved him so much! I could not have asked for a better person to take care of them and right away my tito and natalia warmed up to him. Throughout my work trip he would send me updates and pictures and it made my heart happy to see how well he got along with my little pups. Jerry is a wonderful person and I am beyond thrilled to have met him :) I can't recommend Jerry enough! If you want to meet an amazing person who is amazing with animals, call Jerry! He's the best.”
“Noelani was great! Diesel took to her immediately. From photos she sent, he was clearly relaxed with her. She was especially helpful in accommodating a last minute request from us due to a last minute cancellation by our usual sitter. Will definitely request her services in the future, and would definitely recommend others to contact her as well.”
About: I’ve had a cat since 8th grade and have been an avid animal lover since! I currently volunteer and take care of the animals every other week at the local Humane Society. I work from home and have flexibility to provide animal care when needed both during the day and during the evenings. I also am free both weekday and weekend. Flexible while caring for pets in a clients home. Will do what is best for the pet - taking them out to go to restroom or letting them out independently should the home have a fenced in yard, etc.

Juliana G.
“If animals could write reviews, this Juliana’s profile would be flooded with five-paw ratings. Watching Juli with dogs is like witnessing a kind of magic, there's a calm, intuitive connection she has with them that goes beyond the usual pet care. Whether it’s a high-energy pup needing a long walk or a nervous rescue needing patience and understanding, Juliana just gets them. She don’t just walk dogs, she communicates with them, trains them with respect, and truly cares for each animal. You can tell this isn’t just a job for her, it’s a calling. I trust her completely with my pets and always come home to happy puppies!
