Highly-rated overnight sitters - Bates
“Lauryn is an amazing host. She is caring and will send you lots of pictures when your dog boards with her. She is also very patient and prioritizes our dog's health. We have had to cancel several bookings with her due to unforeseen circumstances, but she is always kind and willing to work with us. I am going to make another booking after leaving this review.”
“Callie was absolutely wonderful! She watched our pups during our wedding weekend, and we were at complete ease knowing our dogs were being well taken care of. She sent many updates and pictures, which I loved. She also went above and beyond to help make our wedding weekend with our dogs a dream come true. I will most definitely be reaching out to Callie to watch Roux & Teddy next time we go out of town!”
“Julie and her family provided an awesome stay for our dog for a week while we were out of town! She was so kind, accommodating, and responsive. Our dog Biggie clearly had a great stay with an entire family showing him love—I would definitely recommend a stay with Julie!”
“Courtney was an excellent sitter and very pleasant to meet. We met prior to the stay and although Beta was a little wary of her dog, Tito, she was phenomenal in getting them comfortable with each other. Beta has had exposure with many dogs but I was a bit nervous as most parents of how he would handle to anxiety (he has quite a bit at times!) I am so incredibly happy with Courtney's expertise and her sweet pictures that she sent during out trip. She is highly recommended!”
“Lauri is very sweet, professional and just makes you and your dog feel comfortable and at home. I never for a minute hesitated to leave Bentley with her after meeting and visiting her. It’s such a good feeling leaving your fur baby with someone you can trust. Thank you Lauri for a great experience!”
“Ms. Brenda is so patient and has such a great spirit. She did an awesome job with my puppy Ceazer. It was his first stay with her. She updated us with photos and of his well being. When we picked him up, he was happy and energetic as ever! Thanks again💜”
“Allie and Chipper did a great job taking care of Gracie. We looked forward to the pictures she sent of Gracie playing with Chipper and getting belly rubs from Allie. We will definitely ask Allie to keep Gracie next time we need a sitter.”
“Ann and her sweet family are the best . Boba loved his stay there and had a blast . She always sent updates and pictures , and she lets you know if anything happens or looks out of the ordinary with your furbabies . Definitely recommend and will be coming back .”
About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their dogs while they were away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times. I am available weekdays after 2:40 PM and have flexible availability on weekends. I make it a priority to give pets the time, attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. Please note that I am currently unavailable on holidays. I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. I create a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, routines, medications, walks, and playtime to ensure pets remain comfortable and cared for. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of attention I would give my own animals.
“Couldn't have been anymore comfortable with leaving my dog with someone. James and Myrna exceeded expectations with their care. They kept my labrador (Floki) for about a week and they texted us daily photos of him. They have an amazing yard which is kept up very nice as well as a doggy door that goes into their home. Their dog (Maggie Mae) is a well obedient dog too, which I'm sure our dog loved to play with every day. We will definitely use them again in the future the next time we need a sitter.”
“Him and his wife were awesome in caring for our fur baby's. We would definitely recommend and will be using them in the future to watch Reesie and Maverick for us. Thank you so much for treating them like your own!!!”
“In my professional opinion, it appears that the universe may have intervened to introduce Charlie into our lives. During an urgent situation, Charlie promptly arrived and assumed responsibility for our 80-pound PitBull. Naturally, I was concerned since our dog had never been left with anyone other than us. However, Charlie demonstrated exceptional competence in handling our pet, and Bentley responded with remarkable receptiveness. It is evident that Charlie possesses a unique talent in understanding and communicating with dogs, which makes him an ideal candidate for our full-time dog-sitting needs.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 8. I’ve volunteered at the vet clinic my mom worked at I’ve also saved many strays and helped them find loving homes. I’ve trained my dog many things not saying I’m a trainer but do know some tips and tricks. I would love to help you with your babies when you need it and can’t bring your baby with you I’m currently in a welding class at AIDT from 8-12 and currently don’t have a job so I have plenty of time to play with your furry friend(s) I can board at my house on the weekends I do have 3 dogs that live at my house as well so plenty of fun and playmates.

“We had a great experience with Monica's family watching our little guy for the weekend. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up and willing to work with what he needed. He is still a puppy at 6mo old, so there were some potty issues and anxiety being in a new place but everyone handled it well.”
“Boarding our 7 month old springer spaniel with Kimberly provided such a peace of mind! She was very responsive and easy to work with from the start. She sent regular updates while we were traveling, which we greatly appreciated, too! Georgie seemed to be quite at home and loved having two friends to play with. At the end of our trip we picked up a happy and tired boy from a fun-filled 6 days. Would absolutely recommend and book with Kimberly again!”

“Maegan does such a good job! She pays attention to our kitty’s likes and dislikes and personalizes her care to them. Plus, she sends the best pictures so I know that they’re being properly loved on. I highly recommend Maegan!!”
“Laura was incredible with our three cats! We were away for 10 days and I never once worried because she communicated with us at every check in. We will be booking with Laura in the future!”
“Deanna played with my babies and took care of them. She was concerned about their wellbeing and presence. She even got my shy baby to come out and visit. Well done will use again.”
“I CANNOT express enough how amazing Michael is. He was prompt responding to me. Easy to navigate having him come and meet my boys to see how everything will work. He kept in contact with me and even stayed a little more to love on my boys since I was gone for a week. I came home and my house wasn't a wreck, my boys were happy to have mom home, and my litter box was perfect. I was able to relax and visit with my family because I knew my boys were being taken care of. He sent tons of pictures and videos and loved them the way I do. I can't say enough good. Will definitely be booking with him again. Pleasant demeanor, open/honest, and just very caring/kind. Wish I could give more than 5 stars.”
About: I have 13 years of experience caring for cats and understand the importance of patience, comfort, and routine when it comes to feline care. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure every cat feels safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owner is away. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, play with, clean litter boxes for, medicate them,and care for their cats. I treat every pet with kindness, love, and the same level of care I would give my own.

About: I have been in-house pet sitting for 8 years now. What started as a college side gig has now turned into my side job business. After years of getting referrals by word of mouth, I recently, in 2026, decided to go public with my business! So that brings me to Rover! 🐾 I believe pet care is about more than just a task of feeding, potty breaks, and walks. I have always had a deep love for animals and making sure they feel LOVED. When you choose me as your sitter, your pets become my bonus-furbabies, and I love them as if they were my own! I learn your pet's routine, personality, and preferences so they receive love and care that is tailored to them. A lot of my clients are repeat clients, and I love getting to know each pet's unique personality. As the owner of Paws & Relax Pet Staycation, I value building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. I know how important communication is, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages, giving you peace of mind while you're away. My goal is simple: for your pets to feel cared for and comfortable in their home, and for you to return home knowing that they were treated like family. I currently work full-time near Grelot Rd. and University Blvd. When you hire me as your in-home pet sitter, my goal is to spend as much time as possible at your home with your pets, seamlessly blending their care with my workday schedule. I also provide overnight stays to ensure your pets have companionship throughout the night, keeping their usual routine completely intact and stress-free! If your home is within 15 to 20 min from my workplace, a midday visit is available for a potty break for your pets. I only provide pet sitting inside the client's home, as I believe pets do best in their own familiar surroundings. I always schedule a Meet & Greet at least two weeks before your trip so I can meet your pets with you there—that way, I’m a friend walking through the door on day one, not a stranger. While I'm visiting, we’ll fill out a personalized care sheet together. We'll map out everything from feeding schedules and medications to their favorite games, daily habits, and emergency info, ensuring they get the exact care they're used to.
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and love my cats as if they came out of my body. All but one of my cats are rescue/rehome situations and we welcomed them with open arms. The cats who need medication are given them on time. Those that have accidents out of the litter box are not a problem! I don’t invade their boundaries and will stick to a feeding schedule if needed.
About: I have cared for and owned cats for the past few years. I even helped birth and care for a litter of kittens. I potty trained them, fed them, and cleaned up after them. I love caring for cats and understand that they are all different, and that some love attention but some need space. Whatever your cat needs, I would love help take care of them!
“Courtney was great for cat sitting! She sent photos each day and a quick text to let me know how it went, which I greatly appreciated and gave me a lot of peace of mind. My cat seems relaxed and happy when I got home. Can’t wait to have Courtney come back for Labor Day!”
About: I have been a dog sitter before and I have a dog of my own which I have had since she was a puppy, I love all animals and love to take care of them! I’m newly married and don’t have a job, I mostly just tend to our house and would love to have something to do during the day! I have a fenced in back yard and a spacious living room in my house, both great for plenty of play time and running around!
About: I'm am a Biology student in my mid-20s working toward a career in animal conservation, so caring for animals has always been more than just a job to me. Cats have always had a special place in my heart, and I currently have four adopted cats of my own. I've been taking care of cats for the majority of my life, and I've been pet-sitting professionally for the past five years. Throughout this time, I have cared for cats with all kinds of personalities. I know every cat is different. Some are playful and social, while others are shy and need a little more time to warm up. I always let cats set the pace and do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed while you're away. I'm experienced with feeding schedules, litter box care, administering medications, and caring for homes with multiple cats or a mix of cats and dogs. I always follow your instructions closely and stick to your cat's normal routine as much as possible. I'll send regular photos, videos, and updates so you never have to wonder how your cat is doing. Whether your cat wants someone to play with, cuddle up next to, or simply provide a calm, familiar presence, I'll treat them with the same patience, love, and care that I give my own rescue cats.
About: I’ve been caring for cats for about 10 years and genuinely enjoy their unique personalities and routines. I’m dependable, patient, and understand how important it is for pet owners to feel comfortable leaving their pets in someone else’s care. I focus on making cats feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: I have a deep love for dogs and years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages, from playful puppies to wise seniors. I have so much compassion in my approach to dogs who are grieving the loss of a sibling or companion. I understand the emotional needs of lonely dogs and provide gentle, attentive care to help them feel safe, comforted, and loved. Whether it’s quiet companionship, extra cuddles, or keeping their routine consistent, I’m here to support their healing with patience and heart. I’m a full time student during the fall and spring, but have an extremely flexible schedule and will be free all summer. During the fall, I’ll still be free to care for your pups! I have a fenced in backyard, and two friendly and playful dogs. They are loved deeply and are only in a kennel when I’m out of the house.

I often feel very blessed and grateful for all my pet parents that continue to trust me to love and spoil their fur babies 🐾 I'm available seven days a week! Recently quit my day job to pursue my passion again.. pet sitting! I love spending my days loving and spoiling your precious fur babies! My neighborhood has clean safe sidewalks with plenty of shade during those sunny summer days! I also have a partially fenced in yard where we can take leashed potty walks.
About: We are a recently retired couple with 50 years combined experience raising children with a variety of pets. Now we have a loving, playful rescue dog that gets our full time attention. We are home all the time. We also engage and play with our pets all the time. We have plenty of toys to keep them amused too. Our large back yard is fully fenced and safe and clean at all times. We constantly clean up debris. We monitor playtime and meals to make sure they are safe at all times.
About: I worked as a kennel technician, veterinary assistant, and grew up in a home with small, medium, and large animals. some furry and some had scales! I am currently not working as I recently moved to this area and I am excited for an opportunity to take care of someone’s baby! I like to be able to adjust to the pets needs. I have a very flexible schedule so being able to attend to a pets strict schedule is very important to me!
“I highly recommend Michael to anyone that wants someone that will spend quality time with your pup(s) while you are away. This was my first time to use Rover for Marly & Charmin, and I’m so glad I found Michael!! I signed up hoping to find someone that would show them lots of attention when I’m out of town. I am that dog mom that has as much separation anxiety, as my dogs usually do when I leave them. When I left them at Michael’s, I knew they had already made a new friend. Michael sent me several pics through the stay and it was obvious that both pups had already made themselves right at home. This was the first time in 10 years, I felt completely comfortable that they were ok while I was away. When I arrived to pick them up, they were not anxious to leave and kept going back to Michael to be petted. Michael will be my go-to person from now on for doggy day care or boarding when I’m away from home.”
“Charles is an amazing person. He gave me a lot of updates and pictures. You can tell that he is truly knowledgeable about pets. I will definitely book him again.”
About: My mother is a veterinarian and I have worked at her clinic for most of my life. So, I know how to work with many different breeds and ages of dogs. In addition to that, I genuinely enjoy being around animals and ensuring that they are taken care of! I’m currently interning during the week but my schedule is very flexible. I am available for boarding or pet care Monday through Sunday at all times! I have a fenced in yard with one other small dog. If your dog does not like other dogs, he is crate trained and we also have available crates at my house.
About: I’m an animal lover who’s happiest when I’m outside walking, running, or biking and I love having a furry buddy join me for the adventure. I grew up with four dogs, so barking, potty breaks, and a little (okay, a lot of) dog hair are just part of life for me. From a young age, I learned how to keep pups happy, safe, and entertained, and that’s stuck with me ever since. Your dog’s needs always come first with me whether that’s playtime, snuggles, or just a nice chill nap in the sun. I’ve got a soft spot for every kind of dog, even the grumpy ones, and I’ll never say no to a good cuddle session. At home, I have three super sweet Ragdoll cats who love dogs (seriously - they’re like dogs in cat form). I’ve also got a big fenced-in backyard that’s perfect for running around. Since I work from home, your pup will have company all day and can hang out inside or outside whenever they want. Lots of playtime, lots of love, and lots of tail wags. That’s what I’m all about. I work from home, so I’m around all day which means your pup gets plenty of attention, playtime, and outdoor breaks! Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I’ve got a pretty flexible schedule and can easily fit in long walks, snuggle breaks, or just some good company while I work. Your dog’s safety always comes first. I’ll never make a decision about your pet without checking in with you first, and I’ll keep you updated with messages, photos, or whatever helps you feel at ease. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I want you to feel totally comfortable knowing they’re in good hands.

Drop ins, overnights and anything in between. Punctual, reliable, and I would risk life and limb to keep your pets safe. My cat is indoor but has an enclosed catio with pet door access in my apartment. Automated feeder, multiple water fountains and giant litter box.
About: I have plenty of experience when it comes to caring for dogs, especially big dogs (as a great dane owner). Feeding, walking, cleaning up after them, and even training them. Taking care of multiple pets at a time is no problem! I am currently a college student who only has classes in the mornings so my afternoons and nights are free. If needed, I am available to wake up early before my classes to care for your pets. I will ensure that all animals are accounted for and taken care of. I will make sure all doors are shut and everything is in order. It’s very important to keep anything dangerous out of site and stay alert while caring for animals.
About: I’ve been a vet tech, a zookeeper, and have been caring for animals almost all my life. I went to school for wildlife ecology, and I am trained in home introduction techniques. I’m happy to care for any special needs or particular requests you have to make your pet’s as comfortable as possible during their stay! Looking forward to caring for your furry family members soon. I work full-time, but when I am home I make sure to give your fur babies my undivided attention. My wife is home all day, so she can definitely help out with your fur babies! I make sure every dog is comfortable with me, and I let them walk around my home to get a sense of the area. If the clients home I make sure the dog/dogs are comfortable with me as well, and once they are I proceed with taking care of them.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I’ve always loved watching other people’s pets when needed growing up. I have trained a few dogs to sit, stay, paw, and high five! I’m currently in college. I finish my bachelors this December and then I will be going for my masters. I do have a full time job but I have made a goal to pay off my college debt before I graduate. My schedule is flexible. For in house pet sitting for more than a couple of days I will need notice. I cannot watch pets in my home as I live in an apartment and have two furry critters of my own. If I am not in house pet sitting, I will stop by every two to four hours and to love on you baby and let them out.
About: Pets have always been apart of my life! I grew up with a variety of breeds of dogs. I have even had a few pet birds! As a teenager & young adult, pet sitting has been a frequent side gig of mine that has brought me joy and a way to help support my growing family. I work remotely and am home for most of the day. My husband is also usually home during the day. While your pets stay with us, they will have plenty of love and attention! I have a large backyard that is fully fenced. For your pets safety, they will always be supervised and not left alone outside or be exposed to extreme heat or cold. I take daily walks with my children and your pet, always leashed for safety. I keep a large crate with comfortable bedding for sleeping. I do have 2 toddlers who adore animals & the entertainment that often comes along with them. Because of this, I can only accept pets that are known to be good with children. We also have a Jack Russel mix named Sadie. She is good with other dogs!
About: I have pet sitted for many different animals, dogs, cats, rabbits. I have 4 dogs at home, 3 Schnauzers, 1 pitbull mix, and 2 ferrets. I have a big heart for all kinds of animals and I would love to care for some while I’m away at school!! I am currently enrolled in school, I am very flexible and willing to work out schedules together! I am also available to stay overnight if needed! I am currently living in an on campus apartment so boarding is not an option for me right now. However, I’m willing to drive back and forth/ stay at houses as needed!

“Callie was absolutely wonderful! She watched our pups during our wedding weekend, and we were at complete ease knowing our dogs were being well taken care of. She sent many updates and pictures, which I loved. She also went above and beyond to help make our wedding weekend with our dogs a dream come true. I will most definitely be reaching out to Callie to watch Roux & Teddy next time we go out of town!”
“Julie and her family provided an awesome stay for our dog for a week while we were out of town! She was so kind, accommodating, and responsive. Our dog Biggie clearly had a great stay with an entire family showing him love—I would definitely recommend a stay with Julie!”
“Courtney was an excellent sitter and very pleasant to meet. We met prior to the stay and although Beta was a little wary of her dog, Tito, she was phenomenal in getting them comfortable with each other. Beta has had exposure with many dogs but I was a bit nervous as most parents of how he would handle to anxiety (he has quite a bit at times!) I am so incredibly happy with Courtney's expertise and her sweet pictures that she sent during out trip. She is highly recommended!”
“Lauri is very sweet, professional and just makes you and your dog feel comfortable and at home. I never for a minute hesitated to leave Bentley with her after meeting and visiting her. It’s such a good feeling leaving your fur baby with someone you can trust. Thank you Lauri for a great experience!”
“Ms. Brenda is so patient and has such a great spirit. She did an awesome job with my puppy Ceazer. It was his first stay with her. She updated us with photos and of his well being. When we picked him up, he was happy and energetic as ever! Thanks again💜”
“Ann and her sweet family are the best . Boba loved his stay there and had a blast . She always sent updates and pictures , and she lets you know if anything happens or looks out of the ordinary with your furbabies . Definitely recommend and will be coming back .”
About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their dogs while they were away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times. I am available weekdays after 2:40 PM and have flexible availability on weekends. I make it a priority to give pets the time, attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. Please note that I am currently unavailable on holidays. I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. I create a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, routines, medications, walks, and playtime to ensure pets remain comfortable and cared for. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of attention I would give my own animals.
“In my professional opinion, it appears that the universe may have intervened to introduce Charlie into our lives. During an urgent situation, Charlie promptly arrived and assumed responsibility for our 80-pound PitBull. Naturally, I was concerned since our dog had never been left with anyone other than us. However, Charlie demonstrated exceptional competence in handling our pet, and Bentley responded with remarkable receptiveness. It is evident that Charlie possesses a unique talent in understanding and communicating with dogs, which makes him an ideal candidate for our full-time dog-sitting needs.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 8. I’ve volunteered at the vet clinic my mom worked at I’ve also saved many strays and helped them find loving homes. I’ve trained my dog many things not saying I’m a trainer but do know some tips and tricks. I would love to help you with your babies when you need it and can’t bring your baby with you I’m currently in a welding class at AIDT from 8-12 and currently don’t have a job so I have plenty of time to play with your furry friend(s) I can board at my house on the weekends I do have 3 dogs that live at my house as well so plenty of fun and playmates. All are fixed and up to date on shots. I have a fenced yard and a pond in the back for the babies that can’t resist swimming. I have 3 dogs 1 being mine and the other two being my grandparents. I can crate your baby if needed as I have one that my dog doesn’t stay in unless I’m not home. I have treats galore and plenty of toys.
“We had a great experience with Monica's family watching our little guy for the weekend. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up and willing to work with what he needed. He is still a puppy at 6mo old, so there were some potty issues and anxiety being in a new place but everyone handled it well.”
“Boarding our 7 month old springer spaniel with Kimberly provided such a peace of mind! She was very responsive and easy to work with from the start. She sent regular updates while we were traveling, which we greatly appreciated, too! Georgie seemed to be quite at home and loved having two friends to play with. At the end of our trip we picked up a happy and tired boy from a fun-filled 6 days. Would absolutely recommend and book with Kimberly again!”
“Ms. Robin is a beautiful soul. We became friends instantly at our meet'n greet with our Sammy boy. She took care of him like he was her own. She treated my husband, my kids and myself like family. She sent me pictures of Samson everyday and kept us updated on how he was doing. We are truly blessed to have found Ms. Robin. Now our Samson has two mommies. We didn't just find a great Rover sitter in Ms. Robin we found a new member of our family.”
