“They took great care of my kitties. Great communication and lots of pictures. The kitties warmed up to them quickly which made me feel a little less guilty for leaving them.”

About: I’ve taken care of various pets my whole life! I am currently working as a zookeeper and had worked at a pet resort prior. I can’t wait to care for your pets! Taking care of animals everyday is what I do for a living. There’s always time to make sure they are cared for properly and lovingly In the clients home I will care for the pets respectively and accurately to the instructions that they leave for me. I’ll make sure it is a very worry free experience by sending picture/updates!
“Jenny is great with my 3 kitty babies. They are spoiled and all need to eat different food. These gals are a challenge. Love the check ins with pictures and a summary of the drop in visits! Would definitely recommend taking care of your babies. Thank you Jenny!”

About: I've proudly been working with dogs for the past 12 years! I have been House/pet sitting since 2023 for friends and family and as my full time job since May 2025. Prior to May I was a facility manager of a local daycare/boarding facility for almost 7 years. I was responsible for the safety and well being of 30-100 dogs everyday. Prior to that I worked at a vets office for 1 & 1/2 years and before that, a Luxury Pet Hotel for 3 & 1/2 years. I have cared for 1000's of dogs, all sizes, ages and breeds. I posses a wide array of skills and knowledge, ensuring all pets are safe and comfortable. I have managed large play groups, broken up altercations, cleaned wounds and given many forms of medications. I have also cared for senior dogs, injured dogs, and sick dogs. There is not much I haven't experienced over the years. I have also owned 4 dogs of my own as an adult, I currently have 2 fur babies! Pet sitting and dog walking is my full time job. I may have to walk a few dogs here and there but my schedule is flexible. I will always ensure your dog is well cared for, going outside in a timely manner and properly exercised. I have open availability and will try my best to accommodate your requests if your pet is a good fit for my pack! I have an acre of land with a fenced in dog area. All dogs are supervised while outside and I can split play time or walks as needed. I love to take pack walks in the woods/trails and explore local parks if your okay with that! If not that's okay too, we can play fetch, indoor games and cuddle! I can crate your dog while I'm not home, or for bed time if needed. My 2 dogs Nigel and Sage are friendly and ready to play or chill with new friends. If I come to your home I can care for your pet anyway you choose, trying to keep their routine as similar as possible to their norm.
“Shannon was the best. I felt very comfortable leaving my kitties in her hands. She sent pictures every day and was always in communication. Definitely would hire her again.”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats ranging in size and behavior. Big dogs have always been my preference (especially dogs deemed "scary"); currently, I have a German Sheppard Malinois mix, and two cats. Near my house, we frequently get strays or dogs that have escaped their homes. With the assistance of my family, we would help the lost animal get back to their family or help find a forever home. One of my own cats is a stray we found many years ago, and couldn't let go of. I'm currently a full-time student at Stockton University, majoring in Psychology. I have a flexible schedule, most of my time being available in the mid-afternoon to night. Some days I am available in the mornings. I would love to spend this time with your furry friends, while I'm away from mine! I have a fenced-in yard, and my pup loves it, but he loves walking on trails more. I have taken my dog (~85 lbs.) on many walks on trails. He is very friendly with people but is hesitant with other dogs. I know how to keep your furry friend safe, no matter their personality!
About: Hi! I have taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes as I currently have 4 labs myself! I am very familiar with the zoomies and any dog needs I am lucky to have a flexible work schedule where I can take care of doggos in my down time and make sure they get plenty of attention With my experience owning dogs I make sure they have plenty of time and room to run around and play while having comfy places to take their daily naps
“James is an extremely diligent and considerate pet sitter. I can be a bit of a helicopter pet parent, but I don't have nearly as much anxiety about leaving my cats knowing that James is staying with them! He went above and beyond to care for them, especially our 17 year old cat with special needs. He is also excellent at communication! I highly recommend James to anyone!”
About: I’ve grown up in a household with lots of animals. I put 10 years of experience because that’s when I was old enough to take care of them on my own; but have been around animals all my life! I currently reside with 1 daschund, 2 pit bulls & 1 mini australian shepherd. I have experience with those breeds as well as poodles , boxers, and german shepherds. I’ve even sheltered turtles, fish, deer, snakes and hedgehogs ! For specific times shoot me a message we can figure it out! Primarily can work around your schedule. I am busy 10am-7pm Sunday , Monday and Tuesdays I would much prefer to come to your home and care for you animal as it makes them feel more familiar and comfortable. My home is currently under renovation so it is not a place for other animals. Thank you for your understanding.
About: I've had pets for the last 15 years. I'm an active dad who loves walks around town with my own dogs, I am more than happy to walk yours also. Our pets are up to date with vaccines and I keep clean water bowls daily. Feel free to reach out to me with your questions, I'll be happy to help. I am a stay home dad and I take pride in running my house accordingly. I'm an active runner and walk ours dogs often so they don't get anxious and i play fetch with them daily x3 at least. I have space for crates while I'm outside walking whichever dog's turn it is in order to guarantee their safety. I have a schedule for feeding times to maintain appropriate weight goals for our pets. I have a fence backyard with space to play fetch so we don't have to find random parks on days that are too hot or too cold. However walks are a must for the dogs social development. Walk time vary depending on age, size and capability of the dog. When I walk a dog, I prefer to put the other ones in crate with a water bowl to guarantee their safety. I keep the AC or heat on according to the season.
“Lisa was wonderful with Theo my cat. He responded very well to her gentle, soft spoken, and kind manner. He often slept with her and would make bread while sitting on her lap. She has plenty of space for him to run and play. The thing I'm most grateful for is the fact she doesn't have carpeting. One very unique and creative thing she did was using a small canvas she'd take the colors from his coat and applied them to the canvas and put the canvas in a zip lock bag. Than using Theo's paws would let him create a special piece of artwork. Which she gave to me when I picked him up. She is truly Amazing and I wouldn't hesitate to leave my fur babies with her again.”

“I am so thankful Lauren was able to fit me and my kitty into her busy schedule. She was attentive to his 17yo needs, handled his medication and made it all seem effortless. I love using Rover and finding such great help in a time of need especially on short notice. I did forget to mention in his notes about filling his water and felt terrible to see his water bowl was empty when I got home, but all is well and hey poop happens. ?”

About: I’m a big believer in energy with animals creating a calm loving environment is so important. Always treated my pets like family never as just a pet. I’m a sahm and own my own business which gives me flexibility for visits. I do not have my kids Thursday through Sunday evening so I’m very flexible those days but I am available during the week as well. I make sure they are fed, let out, walked and exercised as directed. Including lots of play and reassurance that they are safe even when their humans aren’t around.
Smithville cat parents share their Rover experiences
Susan kept every scheduled appointment and posted information and photos about the cats for each visit. Very reassuring for the first time hiring someone. She was also personable and pleasant when we met to see the cats. I'm definitely willing to book again.

I found Adriana to be a genuinely concerned, personable and intelligent sitter/companion to Kali ( the Calico) while I was away. She made it a point to befriend Kali and sent pictures every time she visited. I will definitely ask her to sit, the next time the need arises.
