“Shylah was awesome with Athena. She was on top of communication and checking in with me. She made sure Athena was well taken care of and tried her best to maximize the time she had with her. Shylah did an awesome job!”

“Literally cannot survive without her. She is so nice and patient with my Huskies who love to talk and harass her for carrots. They love her and she plays outside with them the whole time and gives so many updates.”

About: Out of all the sitters on Rover, why should you choose me?! -Military Friendly! As an Active Duty Military Member, I frequently work with active duty and reservist members. I can watch your pets while you are away for Drill or if you just want to go on vacation! -Playmate! I have a 3 year old pitbull named Rambo (See pictures) who absolutely loves it when I have guest dogs come over. He is friendly with all dogs big and small and you will see that upon meeting him! -Daily exercise Fitness is a part of my everyday life. I walk Rambo daily, and if you choose to board your pet with me and would like me to, they will accompany us on our daily walks 😊 Go to Sitter -One stay with me is all it will take to earn your confidence and trust for any future pet sitter needs! Above all, what sets me apart from other sitters is that I was raised to treat dogs as family. Dogs (and other pets) have emotions and feelings just like us humans do. Your pet is free to roam my home, just as if they were in your home. My name is Jake! I'm 28 years old, and I'm an active duty military member stationed Down River as a recruiter! I have a 3 year old pittty/terrier who loves people and other dogs and I have been taking care of dogs since i was 15. I work roughly 9-3 at the moment but I often work from home on certain days as well. I also have the freedom to visit home throughout the day when I choose to I have a mostly fenced in yard that is very spacious and multiple 50+ foot leashes that are hard attatched to the fence. I will not let any pet outside without being attatched to one of the leashes on the fence for your pets safety and your peace of mind! Now that the weather is getting nicer i love to spend time outside with the dogs. I typically will always have at least 1-2 additional dogs that I'm sitting so please communicate with me so we can figure out the best situation for you and your pet 😊

“Kelly has taken care of my super senior kitty twice now and both times she's been wonderful. The written updates and pictures are consistent and appreciated. Boots and I feel very comfortable and happy with Kelly's care.”


25. Nichole S.
“Rover.com To say that Nichole loves animals would be a understatement. Nichole has been around animals most of her life and over the past few years she has gotten involved with the animal rescue and rehab community. She has helped find homes for domestic animals that were discarded by their owners or orphaned when their mothers were killed. She also works to rehab wild baby animals so they can be released back into the wild. You won't find anyone that loves animals as much as Nichole does. R. Federick”


26. Madison M.
About: I have a dog of my own. He is 8 years old and a happy boy. I am a great trainer and my dog knows over 10 tricks! I only work part time so I have plenty of time to care for animals! I run a tight schedule with my dog to keep him healthy, happy, and worn out. I would do just the same for yours. I will let your dog out as many times as needed and keep them on a schedule you prefer. I will never leave your dog unattended. Whatever you are expecting out of a dog sitter I will make sure happens and then some!


27. Krista & Jonathan R.
“Krista has shown incredible dedication, responsibility, and genuine affection for my dogs. They have always been punctual, reliable, and extremely attentive to my pet's needs. Whether it was feeding, walking, or playtime, Krista went above and beyond to ensure that my pet was happy and well-cared for. One of the things that impressed me most about Krista was their ability to handle unexpected situations with calm and professionalism. On one occasion, my dog Dolly cut her paw pad while playing in the yard, and Krista responded quickly and effectively, ensuring my pet's safety and well-being. Krista communicated regularly with me during my time away, providing updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my pet was in good hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Krista to anyone in need of a dependable and compassionate pet sitter. Their dedication and love for animals make them an invaluable resource for any pet owner.”

“When I am on vacation Jamie pet sits for me for my 4 animals. She is always reliable and on time.

My animals no longer get extremely sad when we leave they look forward to spending the week/weeks with Jamie! I would recommend her to anyone. She is also very trustworthy, friendly, and easy to communicate with!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I’m here to make sure your pup gets the love, attention, and exercise they deserve. Whether it’s a leisurely walk around the neighborhood, playtime in the yard, or overnight snuggles while you’re away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m reliable, communicative, and passionate about creating a safe, happy experience for both pets and their humans. Let’s get your tail-wagging adventure started!

I will not be boarding any animals in my home, due to having pets of my own and want the best for both of our animals.


36. Shelbi M.

“Shelbi was wonderful with my cat, and took pictures and videos of him every day to send to me while I was out of town. I had total peace of mind while away that my furbaby was taken care of and loved. Shelbi went above and beyond the expected, checking in on my cat an extra time during the day when he seemed “off” from his normal self. She also tackled his litter box, and took the trash out. I’m very grateful for her services and would hire her again in the future. I found her very trustworthy and reliable.”
