“John is a great dog sitter. He was the first dog sitter we booked at Rover and he made us an our dogs feel really comfortable. Our 2 dogs are nervous with strangers, but they liked him almost the moment they met him. He went above and beyond with all of our requests.”

About: Hi! My name is Jenny, with over 30 years of experience in pet sitting, I have dedicated my life to caring for a variety of beloved pets. My lifelong passion for animals has provided me with a great understanding of their needs and behaviors. I have been surrounded by pets all my life, from dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, and rabbits to my current companions, goats and chickens. Known for my kindness, responsibility, dependability, and caring nature, I strive to offer the best care for every pet I look after. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and helping with all your pet sitting needs. Your furry friends will be in good hands! 🐾 I currently have a part time craft business out of my home, so I have a very flexible schedule and make my own hours, so I can very easily adapt to your schedule! I ensure that pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy in their own environment while their owners are away. I follow a personalized approach, understanding each pet's unique needs, routines, and preferences. My services include: - **Daily Walks and Exercise:** Keeping pets active and engaged. - **Feeding and Hydration:** Ensuring they have fresh food and water according to their specific diets. - **Companionship and Playtime:** Spending quality time to prevent loneliness and stress. - **Medication Administration:** If required, I carefully administer medications. - **Home Security Checks:** Keeping an eye on the home to ensure everything is in order. - **Clean-Up:** Maintaining a tidy space by cleaning litter boxes, cages, and any messes. With my responsible and caring nature, I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing peace of mind to pet owners knowing their furry family members are well-cared for. 🐾


“Melisha responded immediately to my booking request. She was very accommodating and friendly. Melisha kept us updated during her visits. She sent us amazing photos of Stella. Our pup was very content when we got home. We would 100% recommend Melisha!”


About: I own 2 huskies. I've volunteered with a dog rescue for 8 years fostering all types of dogs... 46 of them in fact. My husband and I have firefighter/EMT schedules so we're often home during the day, and handle emergencies well. We have an irregular schedule in my house. You will have to check my calendar for availability. We are often home during the week and daytime. My care for my dogs and foster dogs depend on the dog. My female dog is a princess who sleeps on the couch, but my male needs to be kenneled to keep out of trouble. We have a dog door to allow our dogs freedom to go in and out as they please.

“Kendra is amazing and I highly recommend her! She is very responsive, professional, reliable and always does a wonderful job with our dog. And from the check in pictures she sends, our dog loves her very much!”


About: I've been around animals my whole life. From the littlest of fish, to the largest of cows and other farm animals! I have 3 dogs of my own, two Colorado mountain dogs and a medium pittie mix. I also have 4 geckoes (2 leopards, a giant Madagascar day gecko, and my newest boy, a harlequin crested gecko!). I've dog-sat little dogs, big dogs, disabled and elderly dogs, as well as young pups and households with multiple animals! I will give you the best care, whether it be for your pets, home, or more! I work part-time, and I am also a full-time college student! Thankfully, my schedule is very flexible and my attention will solely be on your furry friends. I always make sure to keep my client's homes clean and organized, and pay special attention to any extra tasks I'm giving, such as watering plants (I have dozens of plant babies!), changing the temperature, emptying dehumidifiers, and retrieving packages. Anything you need, I will do to the best of my abilities! I like to update my clients daily on their pets to ease their mind.

About: Experience with multiple breeds of dogs ranging from Toy Poodles, Rottweilers, Shepards, Mastiffs, etc. experience with other animals as well ex. Goats, baby pigs, ferrets, etc. I have a work from home schedule, with an occasional in office day during the week, so majority of my time is spent at home. I have a fenced in yard with room to play, along with two of my own friendly dogs. Relaxing environment and great area to take walks in the neighborhood if your pet likes to be active.Based off your preference of your pets being allowed on furniture beds/couches I will go by to make them feel as close to home as possible.

“Amber took such incredible care of Vega while we were away. She gave her plenty of love and attention during each visit and was so understanding of her separation anxiety and reactivity. It was a huge relief to me while we were gone to know Vega had someone reliable back home. We will definitely book her again.”
