“Jenny takes awesome care of my pups! My job is hectic and requires last minute travel. She really came through to watch out for my dogs: old man, Gus, and a female puppy, Sophie. So appreciate her services and special care!”

About: I have some prior pet care experience-such as cleaning messes, feeding, bathing, and handling excrements. Smelly, loud, and nosey felines and canines don’t phase me. I have a soft spot for senior fur babies. I work full time during the week. Weekday availability would vary from week to week. However, I am free to do check-ins and walks on weekend mornings and afternoons. Creating a safe space and building trust among pet and pet owner is my top priority. I am always one to ask questions when needed. I would always handle animals the way their pet parents ask of me- as you know your pet best. Creating a list or writing notes on what is expected is greatly appreciated.

About: Shelter volunteer experience and half a lifetime of less formally taking care of my own and other people's pets, including high-energy breed dogs, senior cats with special health considerations, and the occasional crawfish. Happy to lend the same loving energy to the fur babies of any family in need! I'm currently focusing primarily on flexible pet care, work from home gigs, and volunteer work with limited hard schedule conflicts other than home cooking for family a couple days each week. Currently living with a good-sized but partially fenced yard, as a result keeping mostly to leashes for any canine friends. There are four amazing cats currently in residence, two are inside, two outside, all with their individual needs tended to daily.

She does have the ability to completely section off one area of her house from the other, so if your pets don’t get along with other animals she can guarantee they won’t interact with her’s at all. “I am very diligent about keeping pets separated from others if they have those special needs.” -Lorynn

About: I provide attentive, individualized care designed to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and comfortable as possible while you’re away. In addition to home boarding and daycare, I have hands-on experience providing dog walks and drop-in care for dogs of different sizes, energy levels, personalities, and leash habits. I’m comfortable walking large dogs and dogs that pull, and I pay close attention to each dog’s pace, surroundings, body language, and individual needs. Because I work from home and intentionally keep my boarding capacity small, I’m able to provide plenty of companionship, supervision, exercise, and individual attention throughout the day. I host one household at a time, with a maximum of two visiting dogs from the same household, so I can maintain a calm and manageable home environment. To help you feel connected while you’re away, I provide regular photo and video updates throughout your pet’s stay. Every boarding also concludes with a personalized summary of their meals, walks, potty habits, behavior, and overall experience. I share my home with Tully, my friendly, well-socialized Golden Retriever. Because this is his home too, I prioritize good matches and a comfortable environment for both Tully and visiting dogs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a university instructor with a flexible schedule, I have the flexibility to provide frequent walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I care for every dog as an individual, following their normal routine as closely as possible while providing regular photo updates and a personalized boarding summary at the end of each stay. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I care for every dog as an individual by following their normal feeding, potty, exercise, and sleep routines as closely as possible. For boarding, I host only one household at a time, with a maximum of two visiting dogs from the same home. This allows me to keep my boarding environment small, calm, and attentive. I require proof of current rabies vaccination before boarding and provide regular photo and video updates throughout each stay. Every boarding concludes with a personalized summary of your dog’s stay, so you return home knowing exactly how their time with us went. For boarding, visiting dogs must be crate-trained and able to settle safely in a crate when needed. Crates may be used for sleeping, meals, rest periods, or brief periods of separation and supervision. I host only one household at a time, with a maximum of two visiting dogs from the same home, which helps me maintain a calm, comfortable environment for both visiting dogs and my resident dog, Tully.
About: I’ve cared for two dogs for 16 years, giving me hands-on experience with every stage of a dog’s life—from energetic puppy phases to the special attention seniors need. Because of this, I’m patient, attentive, and confident in handling different personalities, routines, and care needs. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, basic training, administering simple medications, and creating a calm, safe environment for pets of all ages. What sets me apart is my long-term, real-life experience and the genuine love and understanding that comes from growing up with dogs as part of my family. I am not currently working! I’m a student, which gives me a flexible schedule—especially in the early mornings and afternoons. I’m typically available before classes start in the morning and again once school wraps up for the day, making it easy for me to fit in walks, drop-ins, or extra time with your pets. My weekends are usually open as well, so I can accommodate longer visits, consistent routines, or last-minute needs. I’m happy to work with your pet’s schedule to make sure they get the care and attention they need. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, calm, and trustworthy environment. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, comfort level, and personality so they feel secure at all times. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space free of hazards, follow feeding and medication instructions exactly, and provide constant supervision during walks and playtime. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure your pet is comfortable, respected, and treated like family.
“Kailey did a great job taking care of my cat and making sure her space was tidy while I was away. She sat with her and read to keep her company. I would recommend her services”


About: I have volunteered for Zeus's Rescues walking dogs for three years. I previously owned two shetland sheepdogs for several years! There is nothing, absolutely nothing, in this world that is better than spoiling a dog or having extended playtime with a dog or pet. I am always reachable, overly communicative, and reliable in an emergency. My schedule is very open right now and I expect to be working part time soon. I look forward to communicating with you and your pet about your schedule and your needs. I can comfortably handle any breed or any size pet! I am offering dog walking, drop in visits for your pet, and house sitting. I am comfortable with and proficient at: measuring and feeding the proper amount of food, making sure your pets stay hydrated, administering the right amount of medication, taking care of your home while you're away, (I'm a homeowner myself,) playing with your pet, tiring out your pet, reducing your pet's stress, giving love and affection to your pet, and taking your pet to the vet in the event of an emergency.
About: Hi! My name is Maggie, and I have over 5 years of experience working in animal welfare. During this time, I’ve had the privilege of caring for pets of all kinds, including those with special needs. I’m comfortable administering medications and providing the extra attention and care that pets with unique requirements may need. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or specialized care, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away! I work from home so I’m home all the time . They go out 3+ times a day have at least 2 meals a day playtime and extra lovins I kennel them at night. Any pay attention to there body language around other animals and new people . I’m very attentive. I give every pet extra time so they don’t feel too homesick
About: I’ve had plenty of experiences with both dogs and cats over the years. From feeding medications, to daily walking, to taking care of my own dog, I’ve always had a genuine heart for animals. I’m currently flexible, I am an ultrasound student at the university, looking for part-time side gigs for furry ones! I can usually make any time work with a 1-2 day notice. I treat every animal like they’re my own. Anything I can do to make your furry friend more comfortable, I can do. Meeting them beforehand is helpful to gain trust
“I messed up and left the chain hooked on the door so Jasmin couldn't get in. Fortunately, my cats had enough food and water to last until I got home. Jasmin was very kind about my mess up and still came to visit and pet the kitten through the crack in the front door!”


About: I’ve had dogs in my life since childhood, so I understand the special companionship, comfort, and unconditional love they bring to our lives. Dogs truly become part of the family, and I believe they deserve to feel safe, loved, and cared for when their people are away. I recently said goodbye to my beloved 12-year-old dog, which deepened my appreciation for the bond we share with our pets. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care, and I bring that same patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals to every dog I care for. I have a flexible schedule to meet the needs of each fur baby. I typically work weekdays but I can accommodate weekends and travel schedules. I follow the rules and guidelines of the home I am entering. I can also provide updates as requested to the owner regarding the pet's behavior and needs.
About: My family rescued our first dog, April from the local dive bar when I was six years old. According to the vet, April was just two weeks. She had been separated from her mother at birth and hadn’t even opened her eyes yet. My parents worried she'd be too much trouble. I begged to keep her and promised I'd take care of her. April became my sister, my best friend, and my greatest teacher. I fed April from a bottle, taught her how to walk up the stairs, and took her to puppy training classes. April taught me the practice of presence, and the value of unconditional love. Our time spent together makes up some of my most cherished childhood memories. At the age of 13, pet-sitting became my first job. I loved it so much, I didn’t even understand how it could be considered a job. I took care of the animals, and the animals took care of me. In my decade+ of pet-sitting, I’ve worked with a range of breeds, ages, and temperaments. Walking 100lb. pitbulls with fear aggression. Administering medication to seniors. Feeding finicky rescued stray cats. I even fostered and re-homed an abandoned puppy that found me on the beaches of Costa Rica. I can confidently claim that I’ve never once had an animal “reject” me as their caretaker, and I think that says a lot. In the last 6 years, I’ve been living and traveling as a digital nomad. My lifestyle doesn’t currently allow for a pet of my own, so pet-sitting is a blessing that allows me the opportunity to care for pets as if they were my own. I work part-time as a meditation & yoga teacher, and part-time remote as an event organizer. This lifestyle allows me to be very flexible in taking on pet-sitting and house-sitting opportunities. I can build most of my work day around your pets schedule (and I'm more than happy to do so!) I offer long-term and short-term visits and overnight stays to take care of your pets in their own home. I've found that, for most pets, being in the security and routine of their own environment is the best way for them to cope with their owners temporary absence. I make sure to upkeep your pet's sense of "normalcy" to the best of my ability by feeding and walking them at regular intervals, being an active participant in play time (when desired), giving them snuggles (when desired), and just keeping them company! I make sure to upkeep YOUR sense of "normalcy" by respecting your space, keeping it as clean and organized as when I arrive (if not even more so), and following any & all house rules. In addition to overnights, I LOVE to take on daily walks and wellness checks when you're at work or just too busy to do it all on your own!
About: I was always the one to take care of our families dogs while growing up, so I have a lot of experience! Smaller dogs, bigger dogs, senior dogs…does not matter to me! I am currently ending an Americorps term so I have all the time in the world to play with your pups! I also always appreciate a daily dose of serotonin :) I always make sure there are clear instructions or specifics provided by the client when watching their pups if necessary! A safe and trustful environment is crucial in this type of work, which is my number one priority. An attentive attitude is also crucial, especially when being in a clients home.
About: Hello, my name is Maya and I would be happy to help you with any pet needs you may have. I’ve pet sat in a wide range of settings as well as looked after many different breeds. I enjoy spending time with animals and being out in nature and I consider this arrangement to be less work and more fun. That being said, I understand the responsibility it takes to look after someone else’s pet and take great care in keeping you pets safe and happy. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! :) I’m a self employed creative and have a very flexible schedule. I do work many side jobs so it is best to let me know a couple days to a week ahead of time. I cannot provide home services at this time unfortunately. My landlord won’t permit pets at my place. I would happily dog or cat sit at your home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Terrytown
Laura always takes the absolute best care of our cat! She is reliable and has great communication during our extended trips away, so we know our sweet kitty is in great hands. She is also so thoughtful and waters our plants, takes out our trash, etc while we are away. We are so grateful to have her caring for our cat each time we travel and highly recommend her!! 💕🐈🫶🏻

Jan was absolutely fantastic. I have a very unique pack of working and primitive breed dogs, and they definitely aren't the easiest group to care for. After just one meet-and-greet, Jan understood their personalities and made both me and my dogs feel completely at ease. What really impressed me was that he confidently took them on walks,...something that very few Rover sitters I've worked with have been comfortable doing. He handled each dog's quirks with patience, confidence, and a calm demeanor that my dogs responded to immediately. It's rare to find someone who truly understands working breeds and dogs with unique personalities, but Jan absolutely does. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him, especially if you have high-energy, independent, or quirky dogs that need someone experienced and confident. I'll definitely be booking with him again.
Gerome's natural ability to commune with animals was present during both drop off and pick up of my cat. I returned to find my selective/discerning sweet pea snuggled up with her pet sitter in a relaxed and trusting pose. She did not want to come back with me! I will choose Gerome in the future to care for my love. Gerome was highly communicative during my time away from my cat. She sent me many photo updates, which allowed me to feel at ease during our separation.
Natasha was wonderful! She was incredibly attentive and loving with our cats, playing with them at every visit, and even our shy cat warmed up to her very quickly. Both cats clearly adored her and were completely stress-free while we were away. We would absolutely work with Natasha again and highly recommend her.

Sarah is a great person. After meeting her, I felt very comfortable with her watching my dog who is loved like a child. She went over and beyond with her while I was out of town for the day. She even sent some awesome pictures that made me happy to see she was well taken care of while I was gone

Pumpkin and Latte absolutely loved having Heather to watch over them for the week! She went above and beyond, our girl Pumpkin has a sensitive stomach and she was able to feed her slowly and take care of any accidents she may have had! She kept us updated with so many adorable photos and messages, and made us feel completely at ease with them in her care! Will be requesting Heather any time we have a trip!
