About: Ive owned 3 dogs of my own, i enjoy walking and playing outdoors so adding a dog makes things 10x better! I have experience overnight sitting and just popping in on my lunch breaks for my neighbors and pastors dogs I work 10-4 monday-thrusday but im open all weekend, before and after work as well. I work 5 minutes down the road from my home so I don't have a long commute leaving more time to see pets! im there to focus on the pets, i ensure to leave a list and updates of everything done and i dont want to invade on your space! i like being told where toys, food, leashes etc can all be found to ensure i create a fun environment for your pet!,
“Carlita treated my baby just as I would. She was very timely, she ensured to do all the things I do for my dog (heat her food, put on her pajamas, etc). Zoe was always excited to see her. She took such excellent care of Zoe. It’s hard to find good people you trust with your pets who are family and I’m so glad to have found her!”

“We couldn't have asked for anyone better to watch our cat while we were away. Ashley provided us with the peace of mind knowing that Luna was cared for and looked after so that we could focus on what we needed to do.”

“Allison is amazing!! After reading all her great reviews and our first meet-up, I knew without a doubt that I picked the best sitter! Roscoe had 2 surgeries on April 18th, and needs some extra post-surgery care with extra feedings and potty breaks while we are at work. Allison did two twice a day drop-ins to help with Roscoe's needs and is doing again for us this week. We couldn't be happier!! She went above and beyond taking great care of Roscoe. Her professionalism and sweet caring heart does not go unnoticed! Roscoe said he can't wait to spend more time Allison when boarding is needed in the near future!”

About: I've taken care of pets, more specifically dogs since I got my dog, and have cared for my best friend ever since. Recently I also got an adorable stubborn little huge puppy that I have love taking care of. I'm currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to take care of your best friends! I am more specifically available a lot during the day and evening! I will do everything I can do and am ask to do to make sure your pets are kept safe and have a fun time!
“Nicole took such good care of my babies while we were on vacation. I appreciated the communication and updates. Definitely made me feel at ease knowing my fur babies were in good hands with her. We will definitely be using Nicole in the future.”
About: Hey there! I’m Nikki, and the adorable doodle you see in the photos is, Bear… He is one loved pup and he certainly knows it (spoiled too)! Animals have always been one of my greatest passions. Growing up on a farm I was surrounded by many of all kinds. I’ve always been trusted with caring for family & friends pets, and Rover has been a great way to introduce Bear to some fur-friends of his own! I have experience working with puppies & those with a tad more energy than most, as well as caring for elderly pups who may require additional attention, including administering medication, vitamins, etc. During the work week, Bear and I go on walks in the morning and enjoy some much-loved playtime at the dog park located in our neighborhood. I work from the office Monday-Thursday and take an extended lunch break to allow time for a mid-day walk as well. In the evenings we typically do a longer walk around Lake Johnson, or head over to the big dog park at Lake Benson. We love being active outdoors! I tend to be a homebody on the weekends and the dogs in my care are rarely left alone, allowing for plenty of potty breaks and lots of extra love and attention! I have a large, open concept apartment, allowing the dogs full access to me at all times. There’s also a fenced in dog park located directly in our neighborhood... And a dog spa! When I do have to step out for a quick errand, I always ensure the pups are left alone in a safe environment, according to the needs of each dog (size, temperament, potty needs, etc.). My home is monitored by video cameras throughout the day to ensure the safety of the dogs in my care while I’m away at work.
About: I was a dog mom to a precious pitbull for 10 years and since he passed I'm looking to spread that love to other babies in the area. I work full time but my evenings are mostly free. Ideal for working pet parents who need their babies taken care of in the evening and weekends. I respect everyone's wishes and desires for their pet family members. Love, care, and respect are the most important. My motto is to leave a person, being, or space better than I found it.
“Jacqueline and Michael P were excellent cat sitters for PJ. They were very consistent in their care and appintments; very conscientious to provide PJ with all she needed during their visits. Will definitely ask them to care for PJ again. Thank you Jacqueline and Michael.”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, personalities, and needs — including anxious dogs, sensitive stomachs, allergies, and high-energy pups. I have two dogs of my own, Buck and Winston, so I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone patient, attentive, and trustworthy. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, walks, playtime, and lots of attention! I work a full time job during the week, but am available for boarding on the weekends! I can be available for house visits and walks during the week after 6pm and full availability on the weekends I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and any special needs they may have. I have experience with dogs who have allergies, sensitive stomachs, anxiety, and different temperaments, so I understand the importance of patience and consistency. My home is a quiet, one-person, child-free environment, which can be especially comforting for pets who do better in a calmer setting. In my client’s home, I aim to keep pets on their normal schedule as much as possible with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I also make sure the home stays clean, secure, and respected while you’re away. As a dog owner myself to my two pups, Buck and Winston, I know how important trust and communication are, so I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“This was our first time booking Paige and she did amazing! Great communication and sent the cutest photos of our cats. We knew the girls were well loved and taken care of. We highly recommend her!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better pup sitter for my little Ellie. From the moment I left, I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring and capable hands. Elias went above and beyond to make sure Ellie was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of during my time away. I especially appreciated the regular updates, photos, and little notes about how she was doing—it really reassured me that she was enjoying herself and getting lots of love and attention. When family retuned home, Ellie was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. It’s not easy trusting someone else with your pet, but Elias made the whole experience stress-free. I would absolutely recommend Elias to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”


“Taylor was very kind and made sure all of our cats were well taken care of. We appreciate her promptness and coming to our house before booking for a meet greet.”
“Adreanna was great with my dog Zoey. Zo warmed up to her immediately when she met her, which is not the norm as she is usually a bit shy when meeting new people. Adreanna was awesome at communicating and always responds quickly. She is also really flexible with the check ins. I did not worry about a thing knowing she was checking on Zoey. Highly recommend her if you're needing someone to watch your pet!”

South pet parents share their Rover experiences
Elias was an EXCEPTIONAL rover! He took care of all my cats and attended to all their needs. He made sure to update me on everything while I was on my trip and took very good care of my babies. Thanks to him I had zero worries while I was away and knew they were in the best hands possible. I will definitely be booking him again in the near future and could say I’m very content with his service. Thanks again!! :)

Sarah went beyond than just a drop in sitter she took out her time or extra time to spend with my fur babies which they both stopped eating because of my being away. I really appreciate her patience and her love for my pets I definitely would a repeat her as a sitter 💕💕💕.

Stephanie was such a fantastic caretaker for our dog ! Nothing but great things to say about all her care, attention, and communication ! Would strongly recommend if you're looking for someone to take care of your furry family member. Bodhi is already looking forward to the next time he gets to see his new friend !

Arely was simply fantastic with our two senior dogs! She arrived at every visit promptly, fed and treated our babies wonderfully, snapped some great pictures (honestly, I'm impressed) and made sure to lock the house up afterwards. We even had to change our booking last minute and Arely was very accommodating! She gave us peace of mind while we away and we look forward to using her again!
