“Lark and her family are amazing! She sent lots of texts updating me how our pup was doing while we were away. Ollie got lots of attention and was happy to be in their home. We will definitely check her availability first the next time we need pet care.”
“Lee Ann was amazing with my little Yumi! My original sitter canceled last minute and Lee Ann saved the day. This is the first time we left her with anyone and we couldn’t have chosen better! And Yumi definitely has a new best friend with Simba!”
“Shelby was awesome. Got in touch with her at the last minute to watch my baby and she went above and beyond to help me. LJ seemed to love her and I felt so safe leaving her with Shelby. Will definitely ask Shelby to watch her again if I am ever in the area. Thank you again Shelby. Gave this fur baby Mom a peace of mind while I was away”
“Avery is absolutely wonderful! She’s so sweet and caring, and my dog Munch loves going to her house. He felt comfortable right away and got along perfectly with her cats—no issues at all. It’s clear that Avery has a natural way with animals and provides a warm, welcoming environment. I always feel at ease knowing Munch is happy and well cared for with her. Highly recommend!”
“Emily always takes good care of Scout. Scout comes home so much more relaxed than when she goes to the kennel, so I know Emily makes her feel at home. She even took special care and administered meds when Scout had a wound right before drop off. Hire her!”
“Super nice and friendly, gives updares and provides pictures every day and flexible on pickup and drop off times. Definitely recommend 💯 and will leave my dogs with her any day.”
“She was amazing! My dogs were so tired when I picked them up from all the fun they had! She was very understanding to my dogs food allergy. She was great at communicating and sending photos. I will for sure book with her again!”
“Ruby was well taken care of! Kendall and Justyce were even very flexible when I made a booking mistake, and accommodated variable pick up time. I appreciate them taking care of Ruby for a week.”
“Kel was great! Good communication prior to booking to make sure our dog would be a good fit in her home for the weekend. During our dog's stay, we really appreciated the photo and video updates of how much fun our dog was having. Would highly recommend Kel!”
“Jasmyne is the best sitter I have ever had. She is patient and understanding with the little soldier for satan that we love called Ares!! Book with her. You won't be disappointed!!”
About: I've been caring for animals since I was able to. When my family was away, I cared for five dogs, one cat, two guinea pigs, and a fish. I've also looked after goats and chickens. I have a full-time job, but I will make time for your furry friend. I currently work a full time job so as long as your fur baby will be okay for a few hours during the days/times i am scheduled to work, i will still have plenty of time to dedicate to their care while you are gone. If your dog needs 24 hour care, I will spend the time with them and take pictures to show you how your fur babies are doing. I can also do a meet and greet with you and your fur babies to see if we get along.
“Cassie is one of the best dog sitters I've had to take care of my dogs. She truly cares and ensured my dogs were comfortable and adjusted on the first encounter. She readily communicated any needs and concerns so regarding my dogs to ensure I had peace of mind and felt at ease being overseas and far away from my dogs. I sincerely appreciate who She is and her passion for dogs. Will recommend her without any reservation.”
About: I lost my two dogs back to back within the past few years and my heart is empty but not ready to get a new dog. I’m retired from the Air Force and a stay ant home mom and have lots of time to care for pets . I’m very active and absolutely love dogs and understand the crucial importance of exercise and activity to their health. Available currently weekends and evenings only since I work full time. I am planning on retiring next year at which time I will be ready to try this full time. I will respect and follow instructions exactly as a former pet owner, I understand how important it is to follow owner’s wishes when it comes to pet care.
About: I have had the privilege of always having dogs. For me, there’s no greater joy! I was actually nicknamed at a young age “the dog whisperer” and I promise you it fits! I regard a dog’s care and routine with the utmost respect. I see the value in both physical and mental stimulation for your dog. Whether it’s playing games, learning commands, an agility course, or scent work, there are so many ways to introduce enrichment. Two of my own dogs have disabilities, one who is deaf and has seizures and one who had a leg amputated due to cancer (but he’s in remission and he’s loving life as a tripod!). So I am very familiar and comfortable with administering medication, following a specific care routine, and most importantly, giving all the belly rubs and kisses needed! I want your dog to feel secure with me and want me around, so I’m happy to do a meet and greet to get our journey together started! I work from home during the week and I’m off on weekends. I am usually available even with little notice. I am happy to provide whatever help you need that is best for your dog. Walks, playing, snuggles, and anything else needed! I take safety very seriously! I do not allow on leash greetings (unless you let me know who your pup’s neighborhood friends are and then I’m happy to let them say hi). I carry pet corrector in case an off leash dog approaches. I am very observant to dog behaviors and body language and I will quickly become in tune with your dog. I know how stressful it can be trusting someone with your dog so I’m happy to provide as many updates and photos as you like. I have a 2 acre fenced in yard (8’ high fence) that is secure and safe. The perfect space for playing, sniffs, or just being lazy! I have 3 friendly Great Danes that love animals! They are used to having their furry friends come over and play.

I have a passion for dog's an enjoy all their quirky personalities. I have a fenced back yard and doggie door I can use if needed so they can roam around.

“Ann Marie was so very sweet and wonderful! She was amazing with helping me continue to crate train and potty train my puppy! I would highly recommend her and can't wait to use her for any future needs.”
About: My family loves cats and dogs. Looking for some extra work on here. Our cat takes medication daily so we need help when we travel. If I can help you, let me know! I can flex my schedule around your needs. I text after each visit to provide an update and communicate with the owner about the visit. Intend to work with home owner to cover the needs and requirement for each pet. I text after each visit to provide an update and communicate with the owner about the visit.
About: I have been caring for pets since I was 9. My mom and I would rescue animals and foster them while nursing them back to health. It was mostly dogs, but I’ve also had experience with goats, cows, turtles, and cats. The two most notable experiences is the billy goat we rescued who was born with 3 legs, and the dog (my mom still has him and he’s the cutest thing!) that was born deaf. I’ve always had at least 4 dogs in the house with me. I have experience with small, medium, and large dogs (pit bulls and Great Danes). I’ve never met a dog that doesn’t get along with me. I love meeting new dogs and spending time walking and caring for them. Every dog is unique in their needs and what works best for them. Customer satisfaction from the owner and the pet is always my priority. If there is any additional medical care or service you need me to provide, please let me know. I’m currently going to school from 1pm to 5pm for Information Technology and walking dogs with rover. I am available at anytime weekends . I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friend. I live in an apartment complex near many grassy areas for walks. Me and my fiance often times carpool because his car is more reliable. I always ask to make sure you’re comfortable if I have him come with me. If you have specific parks or areas you’d like me to walk you dog, let me know and I’d be happy to oblige! I’m currently in school so I have a lot of time that is flexible to be able to take care of your animals. Here’s some info if you’re new to this app or you’re wondering what is needed for certain services: Day care & Boarding: if you’d like boarding or day care services please bring along your pets: bed/blanket, their food, their treats, their bowls, their kennel, their medications, and their favorite toys. Some owners seem hesitant to provide a kennel, and I understand that you may be nervous. I don’t ask that to keep your pup in doggy prison all day. I want them to have fun with me and cuddle and have an awesome experience so they go home happy and excited to come back to visit. I generally host multiple pups at the same time and many times, especially if the doggie hasn’t been away from home before, they like the option to be able to go in their own area away from all the new things around them. This also helps to keep everyone safe as I separate dogs when they eat so that there is never a worry about signs of aggression. Walks and drop ins : please let me know where you keep their leash, treats, and a toy if they like to play on their walks. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns at any time. Let me know how many updates you are wanting a day. For boarding I normally give 2 or 3 updates a day. For walks and drop ins I always like to give walk reports and pictures. I’d their is anything I can do to give you and your pup a better experience, let me know. 😊 Random extra: if your pup is going to have a birthday while staying with me, let me know! I’ve always wanted to throw a dog party lol. 🎂 🥳 🎉 I have many grassy unfenced yard and park areas near my house to walk your furry friends. I always keep the leashes on the pups and ensure their collars won’t slip off. I usually have my fiancé walk with me in case a stray unleashed dog walks up. I’ve never seen unleashed dogs in my neighborhood but I have in some of my clients neighborhood. When this happens I pickup the dogs I’m walking and my boyfriend shoos the stray unleashed dog away. I always want to make sure you and your animal feel safe and taken care of. If you have any special requests or would prefer your animal only be able aloes in certain areas please let me know, it’s no inconvenience at all. Your satisfaction is my goal.

About: My husband and I have both grown up with many different dog breeds. We’ve recently adopted two puppies, and went through the process of training them to where they are now. From potty training from 8 weeks, to leash and recall training we’ve learned the patience and methods to correctly instill these habits into our pets. We’ve helped both friend and families by taking care of their pets when they are away for travel, handling dogs ranging from miniature chihuahuas to Great Danes, and every age group including senior dogs. We’ll make sure your pet gets the best care, wether that be from previous experiences we’ve had or by learning something new so your dog is always happy! We work but have a flexible schedule, we work our schedules around our dogs. Waking up early to allow them to burn energy. We’re both home for lunch to allow our dogs to have a potty break and play, then by 3pm our dogs get the rest of the day to eat and play as they please. Our dogs eat at 6:30am, play till 7:30am, potty break from 11am-1pm, at 3pm dogs are let out to play and dinner at 5pm, bed time is 8pm

About: I’ve taken care of pets as long as I can remember! I have learned a lot about pet care over the years, including what it takes to keep them healthy and what to do in cases of injury. I take all I know and use it to try to create a better experience for all furry little dudes and dudettes! Pet care is already an everyday task for me. Getting the opportunity to take care of more furry little guys would fit right into my normal daily routine! I care for the animals around me like I would care for humans around me. If there’s anything unsafe, it will be handled immediately! Other than safety, I like to ensure the pets around me have adequate food, treats, exercise time, and affection.

“She was amazing! My dogs were so tired when I picked them up from all the fun they had! She was very understanding to my dogs food allergy. She was great at communicating and sending photos. I will for sure book with her again!”
“Ruby was well taken care of! Kendall and Justyce were even very flexible when I made a booking mistake, and accommodated variable pick up time. I appreciate them taking care of Ruby for a week.”
“Kel was great! Good communication prior to booking to make sure our dog would be a good fit in her home for the weekend. During our dog's stay, we really appreciated the photo and video updates of how much fun our dog was having. Would highly recommend Kel!”
“Jasmyne is the best sitter I have ever had. She is patient and understanding with the little soldier for satan that we love called Ares!! Book with her. You won't be disappointed!!”
“Cassie is one of the best dog sitters I've had to take care of my dogs. She truly cares and ensured my dogs were comfortable and adjusted on the first encounter. She readily communicated any needs and concerns so regarding my dogs to ensure I had peace of mind and felt at ease being overseas and far away from my dogs. I sincerely appreciate who She is and her passion for dogs. Will recommend her without any reservation.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every size, shape, and breed since I was roughly 8. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I’m very reasonably priced, and as a veterinary technician of 5+ years and a graduate of Jefferson State’s Veterinary Technology program, I have the specialized training for giving medications and what to do should an emergency arise! I am familiar with emergency medicine and have worked in an ER setting for almost a year. I’m currently taking a break from veterinary medicine to study for my state licensing exam to become a licensed veterinary technician! This has freed my schedule up to provide more care for pets! My weekends are considerably more free but I can provide morning or afternoon/evening drop ins! I have a large yard that is completely fenced! I crate my own pets when I am not home so I am happy to stop in and let your crated pets out for potty breaks! I adhere to feeding/bathroom/medication schedules to a T.
About: I lost my two dogs back to back within the past few years and my heart is empty but not ready to get a new dog. I’m retired from the Air Force and a stay ant home mom and have lots of time to care for pets . I’m very active and absolutely love dogs and understand the crucial importance of exercise and activity to their health. Available currently weekends and evenings only since I work full time. I am planning on retiring next year at which time I will be ready to try this full time. I will respect and follow instructions exactly as a former pet owner, I understand how important it is to follow owner’s wishes when it comes to pet care.
About: I have had the privilege of always having dogs. For me, there’s no greater joy! I was actually nicknamed at a young age “the dog whisperer” and I promise you it fits! I regard a dog’s care and routine with the utmost respect. I see the value in both physical and mental stimulation for your dog. Whether it’s playing games, learning commands, an agility course, or scent work, there are so many ways to introduce enrichment. Two of my own dogs have disabilities, one who is deaf and has seizures and one who had a leg amputated due to cancer (but he’s in remission and he’s loving life as a tripod!). So I am very familiar and comfortable with administering medication, following a specific care routine, and most importantly, giving all the belly rubs and kisses needed! I want your dog to feel secure with me and want me around, so I’m happy to do a meet and greet to get our journey together started! I work from home during the week and I’m off on weekends. I am usually available even with little notice. I am happy to provide whatever help you need that is best for your dog. Walks, playing, snuggles, and anything else needed! I take safety very seriously! I do not allow on leash greetings (unless you let me know who your pup’s neighborhood friends are and then I’m happy to let them say hi). I carry pet corrector in case an off leash dog approaches. I am very observant to dog behaviors and body language and I will quickly become in tune with your dog. I know how stressful it can be trusting someone with your dog so I’m happy to provide as many updates and photos as you like. I have a 2 acre fenced in yard (8’ high fence) that is secure and safe. The perfect space for playing, sniffs, or just being lazy! I have 3 friendly Great Danes that love animals! They are used to having their furry friends come over and play.
