“I had a great experience with this sitter! She took wonderful care of my dog during her three-night stay and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated the frequent updates and photos she sent throughout the stay. It was reassuring to see my dog happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Communication was excellent, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about my dog's well-being. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring dog sitter.”

“Kristen and Estevan were so wonderful with our dog Webster. It was a longer stay (10 days) and he is a very active dog, but it was more like a doggy spring break than a simple boarding experience. Lot's of fetch, lots of cuddles, lots of pond swimming and enjoying their beautiful property. I got regular of photos of a very happy dog, 10/10 would use them again!”

About: I’ve always taken care of my own animals and also a lot of family and family friends animals. I’ve honestly never met an animal that didn’t like me. I’m a really fast learner, I also run my own small cleaning business if that’s something you want to discuss don’t be afraid to ask. Im currently working an overnight shift Wednesday-Sunday 9pm -5:30 am so during the day I’m always free this will be changing starting the end of June and I’m always willing to work things out if our days don’t align My dog at home is walked numerous times throughout the day because I live in an apartment but I’m super flexible and willing to follow whatever schedule you have set up.

“Laura was absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Gordy! It’s never easy leaving our dog with someone new, but she made us feel completely at ease from the start. She is kind, communicative and is clearly super good with animals! She took Gordy to the dog park and let him play and get some energy out! It’s obvious he had been loved and well looked after while we were away. We really appreciated the updates (with pictures and videos!) and the peace of mind she gave us throughout the stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Laura again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter!”

About: EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE WITH SENIOR AND SPECIAL NEEDS ANIMALS. Having had the privilege of caring for many of our own geriatric pets, I have a special interest in the needs of our “golden oldies.” I have years of experience in animal welfare, fostering and rescue. In addition to sharing my life with my own pets, I am a certified Wildlife Rehabber (CA) and am currently volunteering with Jackson County’s Friends of the Animal Shelter organization. I am a freelance graphic designer. Having my own business allows me the flexibility needed to have time to pursue my love of caring for animals. I understand the responsibility that comes with looking after your pet. I am extremely experienced and hyper-responsible. Your pets safety and wellbeing is my priority.

About: As you consider if you want to trust your “fur-baby” to us, you should know that my wife Kathy and I have been involved with dogs for more than 40 years. We give cuddles and pets as needed and encourage our dogs to be friendly to all that visit. Our first dog and the subsequent 6 dogs we have kept as family members were all rescue dogs. We have experience with Border Collies, Corgis, Mixed Breeds, German Wired-Haired Pointer and American Brittany dogs. We have been active in the American Brittany Rescue organization since 2011 having placed more than 16 dogs in forever homes including 4 Brittanys that we have kept for our family. While we have crate-trained our dogs when they first came to our home, typically once they show that they can use the doggie door to go outside, we have given them free roam of the house and yard except for bedrooms. We keep the crate available when a dog wants to isolate themselves or they need a timeout. We are happy to give quiet time to the dogs in the middle of the afternoon especially after a snack and/or a walk. Our home has a doggie door that can accommodate a large dog and that gives the dogs freedom to go outside on their own. Finally, we have boarded and watched over our children’s dogs for many years when we lived in CA. We would be happy to board and walk your dog and give you the peace of mind that we have enough experience and temperament to insure your dog has a good time at our house. My wife and I are home full time as we are both retired. While we enjoy our walks and our gym time, we have plenty of time to watch over and play with your dog. We have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs (age 7 & 10) to keep your fur baby company. We can crate your dog if needed and would prefer that your dog be able to take themselves into the yard to go potty once they learn to use the doggie door.

About: My background in animal care extends well beyond traditional pet sitting. I completed extensive veterinary technology education while working full-time in a large, multi-department veterinary hospital, gaining years of hands-on experience with animals ranging from healthy puppies and routine-care patients to senior, hospitalized, post-op, and medically complex dogs. My subsequent transition into “human” healthcare has further strengthened the attention to detail and standard of care that I bring to every animal entrusted to me. My veterinary experience provided a comprehensive foundation in safe animal handling, canine behavior/temperament recognition, medication administration, medical-condition awareness, post-op care, and the identification of subtle changes that may indicate pain, anxiety, or physical distress. I am comfortable recognizing changes in behavior and overall presentation that may warrant closer observation or communication with a pet-parent. I am comfortable caring for dogs across all ages, sizes, and levels of need, including puppies, senior dogs, animals requiring additional behavioral consideration, and pets with established medical or mobility needs. My experience includes oral and injectable medication administration, incision and wound care, mobility assistance, post-operative monitoring, and incontinence-related care. Whether providing a walk, drop-in visit, extended sitting, or boarding, I approach pet care with the same principles that have guided my professional healthcare experience: attentive observation, appropriate precautions, consistency, clear communication, and respect for individualized care requirements. My goal is not simply to supervise a pet while an owner is away, but to provide knowledgeable, responsible care while maintaining the routine, safety, and level of attention each individual animal requires. I recently completed my Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Care and am currently preparing for my board examinations, which allows me a highly flexible schedule and the ability to be home much of the time. At present, I have considerable availability for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and other pet-care needs, and I am able to adjust my study schedule around confirmed bookings. Once I begin working in the hospital, my anticipated schedule will consist of three scheduled shifts per week, leaving the remaining four days largely open and predictable for pet care. I do not have children or other routinely changing obligations that would interfere with confirmed bookings. Any known limitations to my availability will always be communicated in advance, and with clear communication regarding your pet’s schedule and needs, I am currently able to accommodate a wide range of scheduling requests. Safety and attentive supervision are priorities in our home. Between my husband and me, our dogs are never left home without one of us present, and I maintain that same standard of supervision for pets entrusted to my care. I would not leave a pet unattended while I am responsible for their care. We have a fully fenced backyard and maintain a clean, organized, and uncluttered home and outdoor environment. With a five-month-old puppy of our own, our home is consistently kept pet-safe, with unsafe or inappropriate items secured and inaccessible. I am also careful and deliberate when managing interactions between animals and never assume unfamiliar dogs can simply be left together unsupervised. Introductions, outdoor access, feeding, and shared spaces are appropriately supervised, with the safety and comfort of each individual pet remaining the priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain the same standard of supervision, respect for their environment, and attention to safety.

“Would absolutely recommend Samantha to anyone looking for an amazing pet sitter. I have an older dog with very specific needs and she was the best caretaker of him I’ve ever had. She was very attentive and loving to him and made sure he was comfortable for the full two weeks that I was away. If you are looking for a competent, kind, loving pet sitter, look no further.”

“Dropped off dog in one piece. Received dog back in one piece. Also received daily assurances that our boy was well and pics/videos to prove it! I'd check even myself in with Taffy for a week!”

“Charli was amazing with my dog! Super responsive, answered all my questions, and made sure every one of my dog's needs were met. I would definitely book again and highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”

About: Hi, I’m Rachael! Owner of 3 dogs with my spouse and we love to take them camping, hiking, and out for adventures. I’ve had pets since I was a child and have taken care of animals since I was a teenager, pet sitting for family and friends when they vacationed. I worked as a vet technician for 6 years so I have experience administering medications orally and by injection. Whether it’s pet sitting, dog walking, or stopping-in to check on your pet to let them out to potty or to feed them, I’d be happy to take care of your furry loved ones. I’m new to Rover and taking care of pets is what I love and enjoy. I’m currently a stay-at-home dog mom, giving me plenty of time and availability to take care of your pet too. I’m available for pet sitting, dog walks, and drop-ins. Having 3 dogs at home, I understand how important it is to make sure they feel loved and safe. I will send you daily pictures and let you know how they are doing.

About: I have plenty of experience caring for pets through pet sitting for multiple clients as well as family & friends. I’ve looked after both dogs and cats, and my responsibilities have included feeding, going on walks, administering medication, and spending quality time with them so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I also cared for my senior dog until she passed away at 15. As she got older, she required a great deal of attention, patience, and hands-on care. That experience taught me how important it is to be gentle, dependable, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and would care for your pets as if they were my own. I'm currently a graduate student in an online program, which gives me a flexible and open schedule. I’m generally available on weekdays and weekends between 6:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. I may also be available for evening care when our schedules align. This flexibility allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, and plenty of quality time with your pets. I give pets plenty of loving attention and aim to adapt to their needs & differences. I understand that every animal has a different personality, so I always respect their boundaries and give them the time and space they need to feel safe. My goal is to create a warm, calm, and comfortable environment where each pet can relax and be themselves. I also love keeping pets active and engaged through games of fetch, playtime, and nature walks. I’ve found that many dogs especially enjoy being outdoors, exploring, and getting plenty of time to release their energy and have fun.

“Dorothea and Richard took wonderful care of my elder dog. Their place is great for dogs and their dogs are very friendly. I will be asking them to take care of my dog again.”
