“Hanna & David were absolutely the best while babysitting my dog Loki. They sent me multiple pictures and I could tell that Loki was happy. Their dog Evan is also the nicest guy ever, and was super sweet and friendly to Loki. I would absolutely recommend them and I will book again with them in the future.”
“Eunice was absolutely amazing! She exceeded all of our expectations with her thorough communications and level of care provided to our beloved Corgi. Not only did she followed all the care instructions for our pup, she went the extra miles to make Muncie feel loved and spoiled - taking her on social outings and hikes to keep her entertained! She sent us daily photos and detailed updates, which gave us such peace of mind during those 7 nights we were away. Our dog felt right at home with Eunice. She is definitely our go-to sitter from now on! Thank you, Eunice, for taking such great care of Muncie!”
“Ning took wonderful care of my dog, Lulu! She sent me lots of videos and updates throughout the stay, keeping me informed about Lulu's meals, walks, and overall well-being. It gave me great peace of mind knowing Lulu was in such caring hands. Lulu came home happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention and affection. I highly recommend Ning and would absolutely book with her again! 🐾❤️”
“Patricia is awesome! She is super kind, accommodating, responsive, and experienced. She really treats your pet like her own! I will definitely come back to her. Highly recommended!”
“Ella did a great job at looking after my aussie, Beau. She sent plenty of cute pictures and my dog got along great with her dog! Ella was trustworthy, reliable, and kept my dog safe and comfortable:)”
“Monica is absolutely wonderful! We are new to Rover so we had a ton of question and were pretty anxious as well. However, Monica made us and little Taro feel instantly at home. Everytime she sends us a picture, Taro is either smiling, roaming around, or cuddling with her, which is such a wonderful surprise because he doesn't do this to everyone - especially in a new setting/environment! Monica even gave us some tips and tricks to train Taro too and we'll for sure implement them moving forward. Thank you, Monica! ♥️”
“Nikole and her sweet family took AMAZING care of Gypsy for us! She sent pics and let us know how she was doing during our time away. I highly recommend her and we will definitely use her again! 🩷🩷🩷”
“I really enjoy how she sends pictures and videos every day. She goes above and beyond what I expected. My senior dog can sometimes be anxious, but Flo was so calm and happy to see her. Having a backyard is such a nice feature. I feel relaxed and confident trusting her with my dog. I’d definitely book her again next time!”
“Beni and Jennie took good care of my cat Dakota while I went on a last minute weekend camping trip. Communication was great and always had a reply right away with updates on how Dakota was doing with pictures and video. They truly love kitties and it shows with their attentive care. I'll reach out to them again if the need arises to have Dakota stay at their apartment.”
“JK did a great job with Coco. She sent multiple videos and pictures throughout the day. She also was very confident keeping Coco well behaved. No complaints at all. We would definitely use her again.”
“Amazing job with Senbei and all. Thank you so much for being able to dog sit him. Michelle is so sweet and does an outstanding job with taking care of my dog. Definitely will use her again for sure.”
“Victoria watched our dog Betsy for a weekend while we were out of town and everything went smoothly! Betsy was very comfortable and Victoria maintained communication daily to give us updates on her! She followed the schedule provided and took wonderfully care of Betsy!”
“Oscar was an amazing, responsible dog sitter to my two dogs. We met prior to the dates so they would be more comfortable with him. During their stay with him, we were in constant contact, so I knew they were in good hands. He was sending videos, pics, and texts to let me know how they were doing. They had plenty of walks and play time. When I picked them up, Oscar described my dogs' personalities and behavior like he knew them for years. He was so attentive and caring to them. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to him the next time I need a sitter!”
“Absolutely wonderful sitter for our puppy! We will definitely use her services again. She sent us picture updates and was very flexible with our availability! So trustworthy and kind!”
“This was our third time using Al and Dody and we love them more every time. They treat Prince like he is their own dog and I swear one time he stays he may not want to come home. We have already book our fourth stay coming up in a few months!”
“Thavery was amazing with Ted, our labradoodle and took him on many walks and cared for him very well. I am very appreciative of all the pictures she sent over while I was away.”
“Wendi was awesome with our ~4 mo old puppy! I was nervous about leaving our pup for the first time, but Wendi and her husband put me at ease and I knew she was in great hands. They were thorough in understanding her routine, what off limits and what was allowed. When she was hesitant to eat given all the changes they even fed her by hand. By the time we picked her up, she didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend:)”
“Had an amazing experience with Rebecca. She opened her house to our lovely Chester for the weekend. She updated us regularly how Chester was doing and sent us lots and lots of pics. We’ll definitely use her services again and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for home away from home for their paw friend.”
“Jennifer did a great job taking care of Gunner. She is very diligent in providing photos. He was exposed to lots of things that kept him busy including a cat which was a new up/close experience. We appreciate all she did and have already booked her for another time. Highly recommended her!”

About: Hey there! Growing up in a household filled with a variety of pets - from farm animals like donkeys and goats to common pets such as dogs and cats, to more exotic creatures like reptiles and birds - I have gained invaluable experience in animal care. Your furry family members will be in capable hands under my watchful care! With all this experience I am well equipped to ensure every animal receives the love and care they require and am always ready for any challenge that may arise. Whether it's guaranteeing their safety, meeting their dietary needs, or providing ample playtime and companionship, I'm dedicated to catering to every aspect of their well-being. I can't wait to have the opportunity to nurture and cherish your pet just like they're a part of my own family. Please feel free to get in touch, and let's make sure your pet receives the love and attention they deserve! I am currently working as a gymnastics coach and a dancer so I am typically out of the house for a couple hours throughout the day! Typically I will be gone for around 3 hours in the morning/early afternoon and 2-3 hours in the evening depending on that week's schedule. This may be the case, but due to my dedication to animal care, I can plan my schedules to accommodate specific needs based on the booking. Unfortunately, I have cats in my own home so am unable to offer any services here, though when I am staying at a client's home and caring for their pets I make sure to follow any rules set and ensure I am not only caring for their pets but caring for their home! I understand it can be difficult to trust someone in your personal space so I make sure to take every necessary step to make the process as easy and enjoyable as possible.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he was in safe, loving hands. Our sitter was incredibly attentive, patient, and treated him like part of the family. We got regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s not easy to trust someone with your fur baby, but I feel completely confident with this sitter and will definitely book again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and reliable dog sitter! 🐶❤️”
About: What sets me apart is that I’ve had animals my entire life and currently care for two dogs (ages 3 and 10) and a cat (age 7). I’ve had my pets since they were puppies and a kitten, so I’m very familiar with caring for animals at every stage of life — from young and active to senior pets who need extra attention and patience. I have hands-on experience administering medications, including giving pills and applying daily eye drops for senior dogs. I understand how important it is to be gentle, patient, and consistent when caring for pets with specific needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I regularly help friends and neighbors by checking in on their dogs and cats, so I’m comfortable adapting to new environments, routines, and personalities. I’m very attentive and communicative, and I make sure to send plenty of photo and video updates so you always feel comfortable and know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every pet like my own and focus on keeping them on their normal routine while giving them lots of attention and care. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I care for my own dogs and cat every day. I’m used to early mornings, evening routines, feeding schedules, walks, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently have open availability and can accommodate visits throughout the day. Once my work schedule begins, I’ll update my availability weekly and remain available for early mornings and evenings. I’m very reliable with communication and always make sure your pets are well cared for before and after my shifts. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and care in your home. I do my best to stay flexible and adjust to your pet’s routine whenever possible. For cats, I’m happy to check in as often as needed to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’m very mindful of weather and safety — I avoid walking dogs during high heat and always adjust timing to keep them safe and happy. You can count on consistent, dependable care and regular updates so you always know your pet is in good hands 🤍 In my home, I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I live in a clean two-bedroom apartment, and visiting pets stay in the main living area where I can keep a close eye on them at all times. I have multiple cozy beds and can provide crates if needed for smaller dogs or for pets who are crate-trained. I also have two friendly dogs — one who loves to play and one who is more relaxed — so I’m able to match different energy levels depending on your dog’s personality. I always prioritize safe introductions and make sure every pet feels comfortable. I focus on keeping pets active, engaged, and happy through walks, playtime, and mental stimulation using toys or activities you provide. I also make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, preferred walking times, and any special instructions. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and maintain your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and supervision. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority, and I treat every pet like my own.

About: I have extended experience with the care and training of dogs and pets, starting at the age of seven when I trained my first dog. I continued throughout the years, with breeds from labs, to German Shepards, golden retrievers and bull terriers and rescue dogs. I was able to watch my mother train her own dog to be a service animal, which extended my appreciation and knowledge of dog psychology. I specialize in large breeds (but equally love small breeds) and am familiar with the amount of energy and care that they require. I also offer dog running, in addition to dog walking. This is great for large, high energy dogs in good health. For many of the working and larger breeds, this is an excellent way to really give them the most out of their exercise. I am dependable, flexible, have reliable and safe transportation and excellent references available. I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies! I’m currently available anytime Sunday- Wednesday, Thursday through Saturday I am available anytime before 8:45 am or after 5:30pm. Daily, weekly or bi-weekly, I truly have a passion for animals and exercise. I offer dog walking/running in your area, or at a location or park nearby. I only offer pet sitting in the clients home currently, due to my own pet and limited outdoor space.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover since I was a little girl. I’ve had many types of pets in my life, that I have a little experience and challenges. I’m currently a pet parent myself, I have reptiles and fur babies, each one of them have their own personality, which has its own learning experiences. I like to keep a schedule on track, especially with the new puppies. Since they have a small bladder, you don’t want a mistake happening inside the house. I’m a student so I like to keep myself busy and love to take breaks usually with my dog. Helps me get an outside environment feel. I do have a fence at my house so there safe if they were to be left at my place. I also do have my pup she very friendly and loves to have the company. If I do drop in at your place I don’t plan on bringing my pup unless you would like a socialization for your fur baby.
About: I know how to groom all type of dog hair if you like. They will love all the adventures we will go on. They will always feel welcomed and cared for at all times. I will shower them if you ask.

Holidays included as well. Will play with them for as long as they want(tummy rubs included). Planning to go to college to learn more about taking care of dogs full time soon. Will always go home satisfied with a full tummy and with a smile on their face. I am currently working a part time job. I do not work much so my availability is very open. My job fluctuates week by week but will always let you know ahead of time. I have a fenced home. My home is also pretty big so very spacious for any pets. I also live in a quiet neighborhood so they will not have to worry about loud sounds.
About: I have worked with all kinds of animals for over 6 years. From small animals (I have two rabbits!) to dogs, to reptiles, I have done it all! I grew up in an animal loving family and have had the opportunity to take care of many different kinds of animals. I am a college student with a lot of availability! I prefer early morning/afternoon/evening drop-ins or weekend sitting. But even if it’s a different time, I should be able to make it work! I do not care for pets in my home. But in your home, be sure to know your pets are being loved! I can feed, administer basic medication, walk, play, and more!
About: 20 years experience as a dog trainer. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. I really love what I do. This isn’t just a job for me but it’s an absolute blessing to be able to love your pet as if they were my own! I have been dog training, caring, fostering, and sitting for a long time so I know pets. I can tell when something seems off with your pet and will go above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, secured, and loved beyond words. Friends, family, and clients know that they are trusting their loved ones to a well-established, educated, and experienced professional - just call me the Dog Whisperer! Every pet is an individual with unique behavior, so I offer personalized pet care to provide the safest and most comfortable experience possible. You don’t have to wonder who is caring for your furry family members. I’m self-employed so I’ll have plenty of time to play, care for, walk, and train your pup if needed! I’m available for your doggy day care and boarding needs! ‼️VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ‼️ DOGGY DAY CARE is a total of 10 hours. Anything beyond that is $10 an hour. Any care that requires late pick up between 9pm-11pm an additional flat fee of $20 will incur regardless if care is under 10 hours. All fees will be modified in your Rover account. Please don’t hesitate to ask me if you have any questions. Thank you for your understanding ☺️. For boarding, Rover will automatically adjust extended stay rates as needed. If you’re looking for a place that can easily accommodate your fur baby then look no further. I have a comfy home and a friendly service dog to keep your fur baby company. They are free to roam, or I can also easily crate your dog if needed. I live in an extremely dog-friendly community that has gated and open field dog parks so your pet will have plenty of options.
“I cannot recommend Katherine enough. She has been walking my two dogs for the past three months consistently 3 days a week while I work in office. My dogs can be a handful, with their bad leash habits and bad manners… Katherine has never had any issues or complained. She’s been so patient, responsible, and caring towards them, handling their craziness with love like I would. She’s also incredibly thoughtful. One particular day, I canceled due to being home from work sick and wanted to give her her lunch break back - she offered to still come, knowing I needed the rest. That meant so much and just shows the type of person she is. Katherine is dependable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. Now that I dont need a walker with work schedule changes, I want to make sure others know she’s fantastic!!! Me and my boys are so thankful for the last three months with her 🐶🐶”
About: I really treat every dog like they’re my own — because I know what that love feels like. I have a dog named Ace who’s been with me for five years, and caring for him has taught me patience and trust is. I focus on making each visit calm, positive, and reliable so your pup actually looks forward to seeing me. I have experience training puppies, so I’m gentle and consistent while helping them build good habits. I also understand the extra care seniors need — slower walks, comfort, mobility support, and keeping an eye on medications and routines. My goal is simple: keep your dog safe, happy, and loved while you’re away, also keep you updated. I have lots of treats if allowed. FIRST TIME DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE My schedule is an open book. I do work part time so I do have plenty of time to respond and make due. Please feel free to message me anytime. I will respond as soon as possible. I provide attentive care tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. In my home or a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules, refresh water, clean litter boxes, administer basic medications if needed, and ensure a safe environment. I also prioritize playtime at the dog park or ate home, affection, and regular check-ins to keep pets comfortable. I have a fenced in yard and kennels if needed.
“Thanks Rebecca! Rebecca did such an amazing job! Rocket and Benji misses her already! Love all of the detailed info from the walk and how you took care of them by wetting the dog run area and giving them extra water.”
About: I love spending time with animals, especially dogs. My two daughters adore them too. Walks are a fun, loving way to connect and care for pets. I’m available for walks or pet care every day of the week. My schedule is open from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Just message me! I prefer to care for pets in my home, where they can enjoy a safe, calm, and loving environment. Tell me if you want in your house is ok!
About: Having worked in a dog shelter and now currently at a animal hospital (which boards cats, dogs, birds, exotics) with different personalities and needs, has really made me appreciate every single animal I meet. Whether they have families or are rescues looking for a forever home, they all deserve love and the best care. My experience with dogs includes caring, cleaning up after, feeding, medicating, walking and jogging , as well as basic commands and training.

“Hanna & David were absolutely the best while babysitting my dog Loki. They sent me multiple pictures and I could tell that Loki was happy. Their dog Evan is also the nicest guy ever, and was super sweet and friendly to Loki. I would absolutely recommend them and I will book again with them in the future.”
“Eunice was absolutely amazing! She exceeded all of our expectations with her thorough communications and level of care provided to our beloved Corgi. Not only did she followed all the care instructions for our pup, she went the extra miles to make Muncie feel loved and spoiled - taking her on social outings and hikes to keep her entertained! She sent us daily photos and detailed updates, which gave us such peace of mind during those 7 nights we were away. Our dog felt right at home with Eunice. She is definitely our go-to sitter from now on! Thank you, Eunice, for taking such great care of Muncie!”
“Ning took wonderful care of my dog, Lulu! She sent me lots of videos and updates throughout the stay, keeping me informed about Lulu's meals, walks, and overall well-being.

I highly recommend Ning and would absolutely book with her again! 🐾❤️”

“Monica is absolutely wonderful! We are new to Rover so we had a ton of question and were pretty anxious as well. However, Monica made us and little Taro feel instantly at home. Everytime she sends us a picture, Taro is either smiling, roaming around, or cuddling with her, which is such a wonderful surprise because he doesn't do this to everyone - especially in a new setting/environment! Monica even gave us some tips and tricks to train Taro too and we'll for sure implement them moving forward. Thank you, Monica! ♥️”

We’ll definitely use her services again and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for home away from home for their paw friend.”
“Jennifer did a great job taking care of Gunner. She is very diligent in providing photos. He was exposed to lots of things that kept him busy including a cat which was a new up/close experience. We appreciate all she did and have already booked her for another time. Highly recommended her!”
“Vi is just wonderful. She went above and beyond caring for our two dogs. She took them on walks and treated them as her own. Vi really helped my dogs adjust to being away from us for the first time. Vi sent daily updates and her pictures/videos were awesome. She made us feel comfortable that our dogs were in good hands. Thank you Vi!”
“This was out first time using Rover and leaving my 1 year old Shepard mix puppy with anyone. Bernard and Hung took such good care of him, sent me photos and videos of him playing with other dogs in their closed safe and warm backyard. They were very responsive and always got back to me as soon as possible. Further, our return flight was delayed and they were gracious enough to have him a few hours longer to accommodate our delayed pick up. Thank you both so much, we really appreciated it :)”

Thank you Olha for all the love and care Chai received.”
“Bridget was absolutely incredible with our boy! She and her family were so kind and caring, and updated us with lots of photos and videos. Our dog unexpectedly fell sick, and she not only immediately notified us, but took him to the emergency vet within minutes. She felt comfortable caring for him at home and he recovered well with her. Our dog became part of the family with her, and we would not hesitate to ask Bridget to watch him again in the future. She is an absolute gem!”
“Croissant was really happy staying with Sungjin! He was prompt with replies and active in updating us with her walks and how she’s been doing, so we feel really at ease leaving our babygirl with Sungjin. Thank you so much for your love in taking care of her!”
