“Absolutely the best! Katie was very understanding, patient and sweet with our dog despite the dog being timid. Took great care of my pup and home while I was gone! Would recommend Katie to anyone looking for a dog sitter ?”
“Sammy is the best sitter! My dog is generally anxious and struggles with separation, but he is always content and happy when I return because of the attention and love he receives from Sammy. She’s my go-to and I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Hannah was amazing! This was my first time leaving yeti with a stranger and she did everything she could to make me and yeti comfortable! She sent lots of pictures and updates. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Teresa is truly the best pet sitter! She is so attentive to my animals, and sends plenty of updates! My dog can be very temperamental, but she absolutely adores Teresa. I was nervous I was going to get back, and my pets would be disappointed to see me! She left my house even cleaner than she found it. I cannot recommend Teresa enough, and I am so happy I have found someone I can count of to take care of my babies!”
“She worked wonderfully with our brand new puppy and was more than happy to work around our schedules. Our puppy adores her and we could tell he had a lot of fun hanging out with her! She is a fantastic listener when it comes to any house rules you may have, and really tries to get to know the dog and the people. I highly recommend her for your next booking, you will not be disappointed!”
“Nicole was communicative throughout her entire stay! She was great with all 3 of my dogs. I have a very energetic working dog that she managed well and made sure to take toys away from him before he completely destroyed them. Will book with her again!”
“Kellie was wonderful to work with, was thoughtful and detailed, and took such good care of our dogs and our place! We highly recommend her and will definitely be reaching out again for future dog sitting needs!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, and I have worked with all kinds of pets professionally for 5 years! I have worked at two different doggy daycare and boarding facilities, (that also have cats) and I am a co-manager at one currently! I love my job and am looking to expand my career. I can administer medications and follow a strict feeding schedule. I work with pups and cats of all age. I work full time and do school full time, but I do them on different days of the week! Over night sitting is something I am usually always available for (very rarely I’m not available) and I love getting to study/be outside! I care for pets as if they are a human. Pets deserve nothing but respect, and same goes for the owners privacy. I believe in keeping a safe, clean and healthy environment for pets, and no job is too big or too small. Owners are always welcome to ask me questions, ask for more background info, etc. I also always walk with pepper spray to keep myself, and the fur babies safe.
“Ashley was so wonderful with our pup! She came when we needed a last minute dog sitter and sent the best photo updates while we were out! We would definitely call Ashley again—she’s great and will take good care of your pup!”
About: I have a wide variety of experience caring for animals, all the way from cats to horses! With two dogs and two cats of my own (and many more throughout the years), I’ve faced my fair share of complications and situations but have been able to handle them accordingly. I’ve had to care for pets with arthritis, hip and bone disease and elderly pets as well new puppies. I’m experienced in basic training such as sit, stay, and lay down. As of right now, I’m in the transfer between highschool and college, but I care for my pets daily. They are kept on a feeding schedule and get their daily exercise. I will treat your babies like my own! Depending on their needs, they will receive walks, playtime, nap times, and just plain fun! I like to keep them involved with my daily life (car rides, dog parks, etc.) and allow them to become comfortable with me on their own time! Every dog or cat is different and I’m willing to do whatever to make sure they are safe, happy, and healthy while you’re out!
“Hannah saved us with a last minute house sitting job as our friend was unavailable. She did a good job with our two chihuahua mixes, one who's a bit aggressive and the other that's a new adoptee.”
“We highly recommend Brianna. We have four dogs and two cats, and she exceeded our expectations. She was knowledgeable from the get-go when it came to different dog temperaments. She made sure medication was given for one of our pups that was injured the day before we left for vacation, and wasn’t scared to ask questions if she wasn’t sure about something. Leaving our home and pets in someone else’s care can be stressful, but I was at ease on vacation knowing she had everything under control. She kept in touch and gave daily updates and even shared photos and videos. We cannot thank her enough, and we appreciate her professionalism. I would give her 10 stars if that was an option!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!”
About: Pets have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! Cats, dogs, horses, rabbits, hamsters, you name it! I have previous experience working in a veterinary clinic caring for a variety of animals. I am currently a graduate student at Missouri State University. My schedule varies slightly on the day of the week but I have availability almost each day. I will ensure that your pet is well loved and cared for with me. On walks, I will make sure your pet has plenty of water as needed and gets just the right amount of exercise and fun!
“Ashleigh came through for us when our friend had a family emergency and was unable to stay this weekend to watch our pups. It was short notice and she was still able to take the best care. We have her booked for a future stay as well! Couldn’t recommend her more - great communication, so good with the pups and left our place just as we did! ☺️ we also have dogs that don’t get along and have to be separated in our home and she did great with this!”
About: Hello! I have three dogs and a ferret, I have always grown up with all kinds of animals. My life is structured around my dogs, they are my family, we are out walking, playing inside, chewing on yummy bones or napping with warm blankets. I have years of experience and love enjoying life with dogs being a part of it. I want to care for your family as I care for mine. I have been dog walking / cat house sitting for family and friends for a couple years and I really enjoy spending time with those animals, I'd love to get to know yours! We have a schedule of bathing, flea and tick treatments and special medication for my older chihuahua every month. My older chihuahua requires daily medication as well. I am very personable with my dogs, I speak to them often, they're definitely in the loop of things and get treats often. My dogs are my best buddies, I see all animals that way. <3

Whether it's a quick walk, playtime, feeding, or just some companionship while you're away, I’m committed to being consistent and dependable for you and your pet. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

Jennifer D.
“I am more than pleased to recommend Jennifer as a pet caregiver on Rover.com. Jennifer’s absolute love for animals, big or small, is truly unmatched. Her empathy, patience, and intuitive understanding of various pets' needs have made her the perfect caretaker for all types of animals. Jennifer's deep commitment to the health and well-being of the pets she looks after is evident in her attention to detail. She has consistently provided excellent care, from ensuring pets are properly fed and hydrated to receiving plenty of exercise and stimulation throughout the day. Jennifer's respectful, kind, and professional manner puts both pets and their owners at ease. She understands that every pet has their own unique personality and needs, and she carefully tailors her approach to suit each one. Whether cuddling with a shy cat or playing fetch with an energetic dog, Jennifer has a knack for connecting with animals in a way that makes them feel comfortable and loved. In addition to her natural affinity for animals, Jennifer's reliability is another trait that sets her apart. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure pets under her care are safe, happy, and well-cared for. I do not doubt that Jennifer's dedication and experience make her a top choice for anyone needing a responsible and compassionate pet caregiver. Any pet parent would be lucky to have her as their Rover.com caregiver. Trusting Jennifer with your pet means knowing your beloved animal is in the best hands.”
