“Lori and Daisy had a great time! Lori kept me informed while I was away with sweet photos and texts. My apartment was in great shape upon my arrival home. Bed linens washed and replaced, kitchen cleaned up and all dishes put away. I will definitely ask Lori to stay with Daisy in the future! 😊”

“Anna was terrific. She was contentious and asked all the right questions on our pre-call. I left knowing that the dogs were in good hands. I will definitely have Anna watch my two dogs again. I highly recommend Anna!”


“Gray was a great match for my dog! She was attentive to all her needs and quirks. My dog requires a few extra meet and greets and Gray was more than willing to go the extra mile for her. We’ll be using her again in the future!”


“Audrey was AMAZING with Malibu! Malibu was recently adopted and very timid with new people, but Audrey did a great job and Malibu loosened up and even cuddled her sometimes. Audrey sent multiple pictures daily and checked in daily. I will definitely be using her again!”

“Rachelle was fantastic with Beau! He has special needs due to medical issues and she did an amazing job with him. It made us much more comfortable leaving him knowing that she was taking care of him, managing all his meds, and giving him extra love.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Marisa as our cat and house sitter. She took excellent care of our home and left everything clean and well cared for. When Kitty broke a potted plant, she let us know right away and cleaned it up with no fuss at all, which we really appreciated. Our cat was clearly happy, relaxed, and well looked after when we returned, and we loved receiving so many photos and updates while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing our home and cat were in such capable, thoughtful hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to others.”


“It’s always daunting having to find someone take care of your fur babies. I was so happy to have had Lilly be so helpful in keeping our girls safe, loved and well taken care of while we were away. Will definitely be using her to help us out again. Thanks Lilly! ??”


“Kambree was absolutely amazing with my dog! Updates every day, handled a complicated med schedule, took great care of my house while staying there, and was incredibly kind and flexible. Thank you so much!”

“We are so happy to have had Konnie care for our 2 dogs while we were away for 5 days. She sent wonderful pictures every day and we could tell that “the girls” were having a good time. Konnie also updated us daily about what the girls were up to. We would definitely recommend Konnie to anyone for excellent pet care. Thank so much, Konnie! Hope to hire you again in the future!”

About: With 10+ years of hands-on clinical veterinary experience, combined with a lifetime of growing up around, caring for, and working with animals, I bring over a decade of cumulative experience in veterinary medicine, pet care, and animal husbandry. My experience with animals began long before my professional veterinary career and includes dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, cows, horses, and many other animals. This lifelong connection has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, care, handling, and well-being that extends far beyond the clinical setting. Throughout my veterinary career, I have consistently pursued continuing education through seminars, conferences, specialized training, and additional coursework to continually expand my knowledge and strengthen my clinical skill set. I have maintained **BLS and ALS CPR certification since 2020** and have been **Fear Free Certified since 2018**, along with holding numerous additional certifications, continuing education achievements, and awards earned throughout my career. The majority of my professional veterinary experience has been concentrated in **surgery, emergency medicine, and intensive care/ICU**, where attention to detail, critical thinking, and the ability to recognize subtle changes in a patient's condition are essential. These experiences have taught me to be highly observant and proactive, with a strong understanding of early warning signs and indicators that may suggest a patient is developing a problem. I take pride in being attentive to the small details that can make a significant difference in an animal's outcome. Pets are my passion, and pet people are my people. I genuinely enjoy building relationships with both animals and their families and believe exceptional veterinary care should be built on compassion, communication, trust, and a little fun along the way. Whether I am caring for a critically ill patient, assisting with surgery, supporting a fearful/nervous pet, or simply making an animal's day a little better, I bring the same level of dedication and enthusiasm to every patient. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, valued, and well cared for—and every pet parent deserves to know that their beloved companion is in capable, compassionate hands. Your furry family members will receive the highest level of care, attention, and compassion I can provide—and we'll have some fun along the way. I am comfortable and experienced in caring for patients across a wide range of ages, conditions, and levels of acuity. My clinical experience includes the safe administration and management of oral, injectable, and topical medications, as well as monitoring patients receiving ongoing or complex treatment plans. I am comfortable working with advanced and late-stage disease, chronic and complex medical conditions, hospice and end-of-life care, geriatric patients, pediatrics, neonates, and emergency cases. My background in surgery, emergency medicine, and ICU/critical care has strengthened my ability to remain calm and attentive in high-pressure situations while recognizing subtle changes in a patient's condition and responding appropriately. I understand that each patient requires an individualized approach, and I am committed to providing compassionate, thorough, and attentive care whether a patient is recovering from surgery, managing a chronic illness, beginning life as a neonate, facing an emergency, or approaching the end of life. I am equally comfortable providing hands-on nursing care, assisting with treatment plans, communicating observations to the veterinary team, educating and supporting pet parents, and advocating for the patient's comfort and overall quality of life. Pet care has been a huge part of my daily and weekly routine for more than 10 years. Whether I’m working in veterinary medicine or caring for pets in someone’s home, I’m accustomed to making animal care a priority and building it naturally into my everyday routine. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality, habits, routines, and individual needs. For me, providing consistent, attentive care isn’t simply a job—it’s something I’ve built my life around and truly love doing. I approach every pet as an individual and tailor my care to their specific personality, routine, medical needs, and comfort level. Whether I am caring for a pet in my own home or in a client's home, my priority is always to provide a **safe, calm, consistent, and loving environment** that feels as close to their normal routine as possible. I am comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of needs, including puppies and kittens, seniors, anxious or fearful pets, medically complex patients, and animals requiring medications or additional monitoring. I can administer **oral, injectable, and topical medications**, follow detailed feeding and treatment instructions, monitor changes in behavior or condition, and recognize when something may warrant veterinary attention. My background in emergency, critical care, ICU, and surgery has made me particularly attentive to subtle changes that may indicate a problem. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect that I am also caring for someone's home and follow their instructions closely. I maintain established feeding, medication, exercise, potty, sleep, and enrichment routines whenever possible. I provide regular updates and photos so owners know how their pets are doing and can feel connected while they are away. When caring for pets in my own home, I focus on creating a secure and comfortable environment while considering each animal's temperament, energy level, social preferences, and individual needs. I believe pets shouldn't simply be "watched" while their owners are away—they should receive attention, companionship, enrichment, affection, and quality care. Ultimately, my goal is simple: I want your pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing they are in capable and compassionate hands.
“Sherry did an amazing job taking care of my beagle Scout while I was out of town for a few days. Scout is not always an easy dog to care for due to his separation anxiety and I felt very comfortable with Sherry being with him. She sent text and photo updates and took Scout out for activities such as the dog park to help him use all that energy he has. I would use Sherry again on the future for sure!”

“Kayla took amazing care of our dogs while we were gone. She kept us updated the whole time and they all had a great time together. She stayed at the house here and I think it was cleaner when we came back than when we left! Very thankful she was able to watch our dogs.”

We reached out to book Tara after my sister had a wonderful experience with her house sitting and caring for her cat. Tara was very relaxed when we met and it she made me feel very confident in her ability to care for our cat. We had to change our plans because our cat had teeth pulled - he is a senior and needs a lot of coaxing to eat regularly. Tara was great to reassure us that she was used to working with cats that need extra attention. We threw a lot at her and she handled everything with ease. She asked how often we wanted updates and gave us a daily check in and even some photos. Our cat Jinx was very well taken care of - and seemed perfectly content when we arrived back home. It was so nice to be able to be away from home and be at peace knowing she as there at our home to care for our fur baby. I highly recommend Tara for your pet sitting needs!
I seriously cannot say enough good things about Bryeanna! I am the definition of a helicopter pet mom, and leaving my babies is HARD for me. I’m usually the person who goes on vacation and spends half of it worrying about whether everyone is okay, if their routines are being followed, if they miss me, and basically driving myself crazy. Bryeanna completely changed that for me. She followed all of our routines, paid attention to every little detail, sent me updates and pictures, and made me feel so much better about being away. She was incredibly patient with me and never once made me feel like I was being “too much” for worrying about them. For probably the first time ever, I was actually able to relax and enjoy my vacation because I truly knew my babies were safe, happy, loved, and being taken care of exactly the way I wanted. We are 100% booking Bryeanna again. I actually told my husband that from now on, apparently our vacations are going to have to be planned around Bryeanna’s schedule because I don’t know that I’m willing to trust anyone else with them now! Finding someone you genuinely trust with your pets is priceless, especially when they mean as much to you as ours do to us. We are SO thankful we found her. If you’re a fellow helicopter pet parent, do yourself a favor and book Bryeanna. Your pets and your anxiety will thank you.

As always, above and beyond. I would like to give her a "bad review" so she is always available to us but she is such a good person I could never do anything like that. Lori is wonderful,. The dogs love her and she washes her sheets and the house looks like we just had it cleaned. I am so glad we found her. We love her and our dogs love her.

Devon did such a great job house sitting with our two French Bulldogs. He followed all instructions, sent us thorough updates, lots of photos, and left our home clean. His veterinary experience really made us feel comfortable leaving our animals with him, and we would be happy to book with him again.

Brooke was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond to take care of our older dog including cleaning up after him when he had a few accidents. She was also incredibly flexible with everything we needed or if the schedule we had set changed and it made our vacation so relaxing knowing Jax was so well taken care of while we were gone. We will absolutely use Brooke again in the future and would recommend her to any of our friends and family!

Kara did a fantastic job caring for my pets and our home! We have a pig and a cat and they seem to have taken to her right away! I don’t think we were even missed! Everyone was very happy when we came home. The house looked great. She even watered our garden and handled random house issues with ease. We will definitely use her again!

It was a pleasure to have Alexa stay in our home with Zeke and Zoey for 4 nights while we were out of town. She communicated with us regularly, including pictures and videos of how they were doing, which we really appreciated. We trust her with our pups and our home and hope to have her back in the future. Thanks so much, Alexa!!

We had a great experience with Audrey. She sent daily updates with photos of Kitty, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Kitty clearly received lots of love and attention, and it was obvious she was well cared for when we returned home. She was communicative, dependable, and incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire sit. We especially appreciated how proactive, responsible, and solution-oriented she was in handling an unexpected situation during our trip. Our home was clean when we returned, and we truly felt that both Kitty and our house were in caring hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.

We had such a great experience with Isabella watching our three dogs. She was wonderful with communication and kept us updated throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dogs were clearly so well cared for and happy when we returned. She even checked in on our son’s gecko, which was incredibly thoughtful and appreciated. We are so grateful for everything she did and would absolutely recommend her!
Kayla took amazing care of our dogs while we were gone. She kept us updated the whole time and they all had a great time together. She stayed at the house here and I think it was cleaner when we came back than when we left! Very thankful she was able to watch our dogs.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Stow walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Stow maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Stow choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
