About: I have loved dogs all of my life and have always had one. I connect with any and every dog that I come across. When you are away I want you to have the peace of mind that someone that cares is taking care of your dog. Your dog is apart of your family, and I will treat it like that! I am able to walk all sizes of dogs, and have experience with many large breed dogs. I prefer to take care of bigger dogs, because that is what I love to do. I have experience with labs all the way up to Great Danes (my favorite)!! I currently own a Great Dane who gets along with any dog. I work full time during the week, but am home most weekends. When I am home, 100% of my times will be devoted to your pets. I have a fenced in yard that is .5 acre. Dogs will have plenty of room to run out energy. Dogs are allowed on furniture.
About: I’ve grown up with two dogs, Stella and Bentley. I frequently foster animals ranging from puppies to adult dogs at my local humane society. I also volunteer with the cats as well! I will care for your pet as my own. I have class during the week but that is only for an hour or two a day. When I am not in class I am at home. I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. I am a very patient pet sitter. I listen and pay attention to what you tell me your dog or cat needs and I go beyond that. I do allow pets to be comfortable where they choose whether that’s on furniture, or on the cold floor. I will make sure your pets feel as comfortable as possible while away from their humans! I do not have any pets that live with me so having a guest pet every now and then is great.
“Katherine was great. I had never left Piper with anyone before. After I met Katherine at the meet and greet I felt very comfortable leaving Piper in her care. I just picked her up and I don't think Piper wanted to leave. I can tell she was loved on. I highly recommend Katherine and I will not hesitate to take Piper back if we need. Thank you, Katherine”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I had a cat who was part of my family for 16 years, which taught me a lot about caring for an older pet with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs. I currently continue to care for dogs and cats, including my friends’ pets and my sister’s cat. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and following each pet’s specific routine and instructions. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe and comfortable. I’m responsible, attentive, and respectful of both pets and their homes. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or older, I’ll treat them with the same care and affection I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pets. I can fit pet care, walks, playtime, and check-ins into my daily routine while making sure each pet receives consistent and personalized care. My apartment is quite spacious, with three floors, giving pets plenty of room to feel comfortable and move around. My complex also has a designated dog park, which is great for walks, playtime, and exercise. I provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment and always follow each pet’s routine and specific needs.
“Allie was so great with our puppy! Her three dogs helped ours feel right at home while we were away! She was super friendly and sent us lots of picture updates every day! Will definitely leave our dog in her care again!”
“Absolutely wonderful dog sitter! She spoiled Lucy with so much love, cuddles, walks, and playtime. I really appreciated all the photos and videos she sent, which gave me peace of mind knowing Lucy was happy and well cared for. It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does and treats your pet like her own. I highly recommend her and will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Taylor was fantastic with Zeke, and a big help to my spouse and me, as we requested her at the last minute! Zeke and Taylor’s dog instantly played well, and he even enjoyed her cats! I received daily updates and pictures from Taylor, which made me happy to know he was having fun and doing well, as this was the first time being kept by someone other than family. Thank you so much, Taylor, for a great experience!”
About: Hi!! I’m Sarah Pingel and I love animals!! I have a Siberian Husky/ Alaskan Malamute mix named Benny, he’s 6 years old and I love him with all my heart!! I also trained him myself and he can do many things, including knowing his lefts from his rights! I have volunteered at animal shelters for 10+ years, cared for many dogs and cats of all ages, helped train a few of the dogs I watched, and can administer medication. I also have a grooming certificate. Caring for animals is such a passion of mine and I can’t wait to take care of your furry family member! I currently write full time as an author, so I’m home most of the time. Because of this, your furry family will easily fit into my schedule. I have a dog too, so I’m always with him and I will always be around your babies too! My dog is spoiled rotten and I won’t let your furry family feel any less than that!! I will make sure your dog/cat feels safe and loved while their families are away!! I’ll make sure to give them exercise and cuddles until you’re back home with them!!
About: I have professional animal care and veterinary clinic experience, which allows me to confidently care for pets of all ages and needs. I’m experienced with senior pets, medication administration, anxious animals, kittens, puppies, cats. I’m attentive, patient, and detail-oriented, and I always treat pets like family. I’m currently working full-time at a vet clinic, but I have plenty of room to work with. I am trying to lift up my pet sitting business around this area and soon hopefully I will have enough clients so that I can study while I am in vet school. If you message me about pricing and scheduling and letting me know what exactly you need, I will make sure to make it work. I treat the animals that come into my home like my pets, and I treat the animals. I take care and owners home like it is mine, so you can be reassured that everything will be taken care of and you can be at ease when you do boarding in your own home with me. I also include cleaning an errands.
“Evan was great with our "kids"! We were staying at FDR for a family wedding and extremely bad weather was predicted. Concerned about leaving our "kids" in the camper while we attended the wedding festivities, we got on Rover for the first time and Evan came to our rescue! We felt our kids were safe and in good hands. Thank you, Evan!”

Sandy and Mark took absolutely fantastic care of our dog. He has extra needs with medications and were able to make sure he was taken care of just like he is at home. The daily communication with pictures and updates was more than I could have asked for. Will definitely be using them again!
Sandra and Mark were absolutely wonderful! I couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters. They were incredibly friendly, caring, and clearly love spending time with dogs. My dog had such a great time with them — they played with him a lot and kept him entertained the whole time. Sandra was also amazing about sending regular updates, letting me know how he was doing, what activities he was up to, and how he was feeling. Those updates really gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious that they treated my dog like their own and made sure he felt comfortable and happy. I’m so grateful for the care and attention they gave him. I would absolutely recommend Sandra and Mark to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely kind dog sitters. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!
All I can say is wow. Madison went above and beyond to make our baby Greyson comfortable, even given our sweet little boy a bath after playing in the mud with her sweet Shepherds. Was excited to see me when I picked him up, but he seemed that he was torn and wanted to stay with Madison as well. Definitely will rebook.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks.

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
