“Brooke went above and beyond in every respect from the moment we contacted her. Her communication was excellent, she came out for a house visit to meet the dogs to ease our concerns of having someone stay at our home and watch our young dogs (this was the first time we were leaving them with someone). She listened to every single instruction with incredible attention to detail, she communicated with us with pictures regularly to ease our anxiety while we were gone, she clearly cared for our dogs, gave them tons of love and attention, and her experience with animals and background in dog training was evident. She had the perfect blend of firm boundary setting with our rowdy boys while being loving with only positive reinforcement. We came home to a spotless house, she washed dog dishes she didn’t have to wash, and we couldn’t have been more impressed. We can’t recommend her enough and it’s a relief to find someone so trustworthy to watch our dogs again when we leave town.”

“I interviewed a couple people for drop-in services for my cat, Keesa and decided to book Landry because Keesa didn't hide from her! They were comfortable with each other, and as a cat mom, that's important because it means Keesa wouldn't be stressed. Landry was good with her. She texted me every time she came in and sent pictures. I recommend Landry, and would request again if needed.”

“Joshua did a great job with my 2 dogs, and 11 month old Dalmation puppy, and a 7 year old Hungarian Pumi. He went above and beyond when I did not arrive home when I told him I would be there...( flight delays) Joshua stayed until 1:30 am to make sure the dogs would be OK . The dogs really seemed to enjoy him and were sorry to see him go! I can highly recommend him!”

“Great job! Icealin paid attention to all the details, making sure the house was taken care of too, not just the pooch. I came back from holiday travel and blizzards everywhere, and all was well.”

About: I have always had a family pet for as long as I could remember. My family and friends have relied on me to care for their loved animals. Allow me to do the same and have peace of mind while you are away. I am a stay at home mom to a 6 month old daughter. Our days consist of many walks, so your dog would we well exercised and cared for while you are away I have a fenced in yard for your dog to go out for a quick potty break if needed. I do have two cats that can be put in a separate room if needed.
“Makayla has been nothing but amazing and couldn’t ask for a better sitter for a girls. She has spent so much time with them and when she hasn’t been able to be at the house with them, her amazing sister would go over and spend time with our girls. I never had to worry about whether my dogs were being looked after and well loved just like I would. Even our girl who is skiddish of all strangers, she made sure to take the time with her and make sure she was comfortable. And to top it all off, she cleaned up before leaving. I would recommend Makayla and her sister Shelby again and again and will definitely be asking for their pet sitting expertise in the future!”

About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life. One of my biggest losses was my childhood dog but now we have two!! My best friends:)) I have a lot of free time now that I’m home from school. I have two jobs but can fit in time to take care of an animal that needs it! I give my animals at home lots of love, treats and fun!! Me and my dog Nova love going on walks and she sleeps with me!!
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, including my own dogs and cats. I’ve also pet-sat for friends several times, so I’m comfortable with different routines, temperaments, and needs. I’m available most weekends and after 1 PM on Fridays. I also offer overnight care throughout the week for pet parents who need extra help or travel often. I can do drop ins about an hour at a time every 3 hours or so throughout the week to give your dogs potty breaks, playtime, and affection. In my home or yours, I focus on making pets feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you have. I give plenty of attention, keep things clean, and always make sure they feel safe and loved.
About: I’ve been taking care of friends and families dogs for a while now and want to expand to build new connections! I’m very flexible and willing to work with you to get the best care for your fur baby! I’m currently a college student working a part time job but I’m very flexible most afternoons and willing to spend the night anyday. Most days when I do work I’m off at 7 and I’m willing to go on walks anytime in the day. I’m simply willing to accommodate to owners however is needed. If I need to spend the night I will and if they need walks 4 times a day I’m very happy to do so. I want to provide the best experience possible!
About: I love dogs. I have been doing drop-ins and dog walking for two years. I got on Rover just recently. The time I spend on a drop-in or walk with your dog is 100% about them. Love is always a two-way street with dogs, and I enjoy bonding with them and caring for them. I work for myself so I have flexibility I just need a day's notice to set up a home visit. I enjoy walking and am walking everyday and would enjoy walking your dog. I currently do visits to the dogs place of residence and I accommodate whatever the particular dog is accustomed to in a loving way. It is very important to me that the dog feels comfortable where they're at as well as with me. This hasn't ever been an issue.
“Jacy was incredible! She took such great care of my home and my dog while I was away—I came back to a happy pup and a spotless house. She even went above and beyond by doing laundry (after thoughtfully asking if I minded first), cleaned the dishes, put away the ones I’d left in the dishwasher, and maked all the beds. She even took the time to do some training with Joy and now my dog can do new trick and follows commands better. It was such a treat to come home to everything in perfect order. Super responsible, respectful, and kind—highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy house sitter!”

About: (ADDITIONAL DOG RATE IS CHEAPER THAN WHAT IS LISTED) I truly treat every dog like my own, with patience, consistency, and love. I have experience caring for energetic puppies, senior dogs, and even anxious pups who don’t usually warm up to others. I’m calm and confident around dogs that might seem nervous or reactive, and I take the time to earn their trust at their pace. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet company, I make sure every dog feels safe, understood, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a student who takes mostly online classes, which means my schedule is super flexible and I’m home a lot. That gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and just being present with your pups. I love building a routine that keeps them happy and comfortable. Whether that’s early morning walks, afternoon cuddles, or bedtime check-ins. Your pets will never feel rushed or overlooked! Whether I’m watching your pets in my home or yours, I always keep their comfort and routine a top priority. I live in a one story home with a huge backyard and pool, perfect for exercise, potty breaks, and a little fun between naps! I do prefer staying at your home so your dog is never stressed.
About: I offer unparalleled dedication while providing personalized attention. I tailor to each pet's needs, ensuring their happiness and your peace of mind while you're away. I'm currently working part-time so I'll have plenty of time to play with your furr babies! Sundays typically will not work with church and such but every other day works perfectly! I can easily crate your dog if needed. I will play and walk with your pet as frequently as you would like while maintaining a clean environment.
About: I have cared for many different types of dogs since I was young. I genuinely enjoy the connection animals share with us, and I am passionate about providing them with attentive, loving care. If you need care during the weekdays, I’m happy to work with your schedule and will do my best to accommodate your needs. On weekends, I am fully available and can provide flexible care to ensure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big responsibility. My top priorities are safety, consistency, and creating a calm, secure environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I provide attentive supervision, reliable communication, and structured walks to ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and supported at all times.
“Filip watched my dog Tula for 10 days while I was out of town. He left the house clean, shoveled a ton of snow, and most importantly, took excellent care of my girl! Would definitely recommend Filip for your pet care needs. :)”
About: Growing up I balanced taking care of two childhood dogs. I’ve had dogs since I was 11 years old. Currently, I have a two year old golden doodle with my wife. I am an avid runner and will run your dogs however far and long you desire! I can make a custom workout portfolio for your dog. I work full time in the Army during the week. I am available both Saturdays and Sundays, unless I am field training. I can work some federal holidays I have off. I have a friendly golden doodle that loves company. I take her to the dog park and on walks multiple times a week to stay active.
