She kept us updated the whole time on how he was and sent photos and pictures to us. She even filmed our pup opening his Christmas gift since we were away for the holiday.

We will definitely be using her again!”

About: Hello! My name is Lauryn and I’ve always grown up with pets. I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and have experience in grooming them and taking care of them. I’m currently not working and do online school! I have a lot of free time! I would prefer weekdays, but I don’t mind weekend sitting. I have experience waking dogs that range from Chihuahuas to English Mastiffs. I would prefer an environment that is closed off; however I do have experience walking dogs in an open area. When caring for animals I have a lot of knowledge. I helped my retriever/beagle mix give birth to her puppies, and I have helped her many times with storm anxiety and ptsd.

About: As a previous vet technician assistant, animals have always been my pride and joy. I've 7 years of experience with senior dogs/cats and more. As a homebody myself, I understand why your pet doesn't want to leave home,it's where you're happy. I'm excited to meet you and your pet! My schedule is flexible because I have a complete week off every month. I'm currently working full-time but I only work 14 days throughout the month. Therefore, during those days off I'll have plenty of time to play, love, and care for your pets. When doing drop in visits or in home stays my priority is to maintain and upkeep the clients safety precautions. If I have questions or concerns my immediate response is to contact the client.

About: I have been a pet owner my whole life. Having had multiple large dogs including pit bulls and now smaller breeds and cats! I’m also able to care of farm and exotic animals! For Farm animals and exotic animal care I do that on a personal basis, not on rover as rover doenst have the options for pricing those animals needs. But please message me if you’d like those services! Rover does take 20% of my income so please consider tipping as it helps me out! I’m in the process of opening a salon in my local town but in the mean time my schedule is open for lots of fur baby care! Playing and walking your pup is always a good idea! Especially if they have high energy and love toys. Will walk your pup or even cat with provided leash and harness. Will follow your instructions on feeding time and will not feed them anything other than what you have stated. In the case of an emergency I do have a small first aid kit in my car and will take your pet to the vet should they need it.

“Sarah was great! She is very nice and wonderful with our pig Grunty. He really liked her and and she took great care of him. We will def use her again”


“Mariah is an excellent pet care giver. She has experience with dogs, cats, horses, goats, and poultry. Living in rural settings, she grew up caring for many animals. Mariah is devoted to her own animals and is compassionate with other people's animals. She is responsible and always on time. She is good about keeping her word and following through in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Mariah as a pet care giver.”

About: I am a dog mommy of 2 girls, they are filled with personality and love to have fun! They play well with others, and they enjoy having company! We take them to the park often so they are in tip top shape! I am free most days unless I’m at work. I love to hang with my dogs and tire them out! We love to hang go on car rides, and meet other people in the neighborhood. If your pet has had an accident I do carry my own supplies to clean it up, steam mop, and steam vacuum will always be with me for bacteria that we don’t want our fury friends to be introduced to.

“Cheryl made it so easy for us to enjoy time away from all 3 of our pups and home. Kept us informed while away. We will definitely be booking her for future stays.”


“I wholeheartedly recommend Paige as a pet caregiver on Rover.com. Her responsible and loving nature ensures that pets are not just cared for, but genuinely cherished. Paige goes the extra mile to create a secure and joyful environment, making her an excellent choice for anyone seeking top-notch pet care. Trust Paige for a worry-free and delightful experience for both you and your furry companions.”
