About: Since childhood I have always been the one tasked with taking care of the family pets and then the neighborhood pets. I am an attentive walker and can't wait to sit your pets! I do gig work so I am available to whomever reaches out first. I have used dog walkers for many years and would love to provide the same service back for others! I pay attention to details and any notes or directions you leave. I have reliable transportation and plenty of experience with dogs. No pet will be left unhappy in my care.

About: Hi! I have taken care of pets since I was ten. I have had my own dogs my whole life so I am well experienced. I am studying in college right now but I have free time during the week so it fits into my schedule. I am an early riser and can stay up late if I need to check in! I make sure the pet is comfortable with me always and not butting in their space! I wanna make them feel as welcome as possible with me!

Nicol was everything you could ask for in a dog sitter! During the introduction visit my dog was immediately drawn to her, and I’m happy to say I was at ease knowing she was being taken care of. Nicol was punctual with her visits, attentive with her messages, took good photos, and spent time playing and entertaining my pet. I would highly recommend and will hire her again!

Lindsey did a great job. She was on time and returned our texts and calls almost immediately. Barkley loved her. We were first time users of a pet sitter and Lindsey exceeded our expectations. As nervous pet parents, Lindsey put our minds to rest by sending pictures and updates of how Barkley was doing through out our time away. We will definitely use her again as Barkley's sitter.

About: Throughout my entire life I’ve taken care of all types of animals big and small, from neighbors Great Danes to family rabbits, I’m able to handle animals of all shapes and sizes and look forward to meeting your pet no matter the animal! ♡ I do work part time at Outback Steakhouse and also do pet care to help pay for all of my bills due to this I’m more busy on the weekends and tend to struggle booking around then but I will do my best to accommodate and be flexible for your fur and furless babies!!! In the past I have had animals that were both inside and outside as well as animals who were muzzle, and crate trained meaning I have experience handling both as well as experience walking a variety of dogs. Currently I live with my cat Nugget who I handle all daily care for!

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Jennifer went above and beyond—handling our dog’s medication during thunderstorms and fireworks with calm, attentive care. Jennifer was so in tune with our dog’s needs, even noticing an issue and handling it quickly and thoughtfully. We loved getting regular updates and came home to a happy, relaxed pup. Truly grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and kind. Highly recommend!

About: I have been a pet parent for many years and understand that every pet is unique. I currently share my home with two Huskies and four cats ranging in age from 3 to 20 years old, giving me experience caring for pets at every stage of life. One of my greatest joys has been caring for senior pets and learning their individual routines, personalities, and needs. I understand that older pets often require extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I also have experience with energetic dogs, independent cats, and the many different personalities that make our pets so special. I treat every animal as an individual and will provide the same loving, dependable care that I would want for my own pets. I work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care for your pets. I am able to offer drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting while making sure each pet receives individual attention and care. I enjoy incorporating pet care into my routine and taking the time to provide more than just the basics—making sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their families are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that inviting someone into your home to care for your pets is a big responsibility, and I will treat both your pets and your home with respect. During visits, I will follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet’s normal routines, provide meals, fresh water, exercise, playtime, litter box care, and any needed medications. I will pay attention to your pet’s behavior and communicate with you through updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I believe pets are family, and I will care for yours with the same patience, kindness, and attention I give my own.

I came back to one happy dog. He usually runs up to me so happy to see me, but he didn't this time (well, not as much). This tells me that he was taken care of as well as I take care of him. I chose the right person. I'm glad I gave Rover.com a second chance. She's my new permanent dog care provider.

Arianne is a phenomenal sitter. She took care of my two cats and even used her veterinary experience to help treat one of their wounds. If you want a sitter who is understanding and knowledgeable about your pets needs, I recommend hiring Arianne! I felt at ease on my vacation knowing my cats were in her care.

Lindsay is so wonderful with our Chiweenie. She even brought a game for her to play with and we ended up buying the same one for her. She spent almost a week and a half 3x a day and we knew our doggy was in great hands through the whole time. Thanks again for your love and care! 🥰

Meghan was absolutely wonderful with Livy. Before her scheduled visits, she took the time to come by for a meet-and-greet and carefully learn Livy's routine. She really went above and beyond to make sure she understood Livy's needs and that everything would be as comfortable as possible. Unfortunately, Livy decided she wasn't particularly interested in making a new friend—we recently moved and she is out of character. Meghan handled it with so much patience, kindness, and good humor. She even joked that Livy reminded her of Miranda Priestly from The Devil Wears Prada, which honestly couldn't have been more accurate and gave us all a good laugh. Regardless of Livy's icy demeanor Meghan knows that she has modeled for brands so she made us a photo of Livy on a magazine cover!!! It was included with the most beautiful thank you note; please do not thank me; THANK YOU for everything that you did! Throughout the entire experience, Meghan was thoughtful, communicative, and clearly cared about providing the best possible care. Even if your pet is a little aloof or has a big personality like ours, you can trust that Meghan will treat them with patience and compassion. We're so grateful for everything she did and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her! I am not sure how 'Miranda Priestly' feels but I sure hope that Meghan will return!!!

I can’t even begin to express how amazing Joyce is! We’ve trusted her with our dogs twice now; first in January 2025 for my wedding and again in July 2026 for vaycay and I would absolutely book her again! We have four dogs: a Pomeranian, two Black Labs, and a Pit Bull. Three of them are over 50 pounds, so leaving them with anyone can be nerve wracking. I was especially worried they wouldn’t remember her after so much time had passed, but the second they saw Joyce, they were beyond excited! It was obvious they remembered and loved her. One of my favorite things about Joyce is that I never have to wonder how my babies are doing. She sends videos, pictures, and updates throughout our trip, which gives me so much peace of mind. While I’m enjoying my vacation, I get to see my dogs having the best time running around, playing fetch, and getting so much love and attention. She’s also incredibly knowledgeable about dog health. One of my dogs constantly licks his paw until it creates a wound, and Joyce shared some natural remedies for my poor guy. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets like they’re her own, keep you updated, and genuinely care about their well being, Joyce is the one. We absolutely adore her, and so do our dogs!
