“Yi Ling watched my dog over two weekends, and I was very happy with the care she provided. She was an excellent communicator, always punctual, and completely dependable. One thing to know is that she often watches more than one dog at a time. My dog did great in that environment and enjoyed the opportunity to socialize with other dogs. I would happily book with Yi Ling again!”
“Kyle & Desiree took such great care of our two dogs! The dogs came back relaxed and happy and we thoroughly enjoyed the daily photos they sent us while we were away!”
“I look forward to taking Finn to Ben’s when we go out of town. Finn loves playing with his two dogs, especially his 1-year-old energetic pup with amazing agility! Ben walks Finn along the lakes. We can tell he loves all kinds of dogs and that this is a passion for him, not just a job! He sends photos that warm our hearts. We will continue to bring Finn to Ben for his care of Finn!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Delane when she cared for Monet for three days. From the very beginning, during our meet and greet, we genuinely enjoyed our conversation with her. Delane is such a lovely and thoughtful person, and clearly experienced with dogs. Her dog, Lucy, is absolutely sweet and gentle, and Monet and Lucy got along very well. Delane’s home is warm and welcoming, and Monet settled in right away. She kept us updated throughout Monet’s stay, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that Monet was not only well cared for, but also comfortable. We would happily book with Delane again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, warm, and dependable caregiver. Thank you, Delane!!”
“Met before our booking date to meet pups. Great communication and very easy to work with. Noah has been great through and through. Would definitely recommend to others.”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing with Onyx! Her family was so warm and welcoming, and it was clear that Onyx was very well-cared for. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which eased my mind while I was away. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a loving and reliable sitter. She’s truly the best!”
“My dog has an overnight stay with this family and they were wonderful with her! Our dog is so attached to us (and we have no other pets) so she can be picky about what humans and other dogs she trusts and enjoys. I appreciate that she was allowed free access around their house. Most of all, I loved seeing the genuine happiness of Ashley and Jeremy’s boys for hosting. I’m so glad to have found someone that will give us peace of mind that she’s well taken care of when we’re away.”
“This was the first time I've used Tamara. She did a great job with our anxious havanese, Parker, and I think he settled right in. She has a small dog herself and it sounds like they got along well. Communication was great, as well the photos she sent while we were gone. Recommend!”
“This is our second time using Kim and we just love her so much! She goes above and beyond taking care of our dog Gypsy and sends daily updates and photos. I know Gypsy has a wonderful time there and comes a very happy and content pup.”
“Ryan and Lorien were wonderful with our Charlie dog. Their sweet dog even shared their toy with him. Charlie was given lots of love and attention. We felt at ease having him there while on our vacation. Would definitely book with them again. Thanks!”
“Care was excellent. Puppies were very happy. I felt confident and with my dogs in their hands, champ and Woody will be returning. The dogs were well taken care of. Woody isn't always the easiest dog but they had a plan and were very intentional with him. Gave me the confidence to enjoy my vacation”
“Carrie was great with our two dogs! I appreciated the regular updates and photos throughout our pups’ stay. We usually board them separately with friends so it was their first time staying together and we weren’t sure how they’d behave. Carrie’s experience with dogs was obvious and it made us feel much better about leaving our girls at her home. It was also a great chance for them to socialize with friendly pups. We would recommend her.”
“We absolutely LOVE Jamie!! She is very accommodating with our schedule. The love & care she gives Peach, the dog, is fantastic. When we arrive at her house, Peach runs to the door & looks at us like, see ya later. A good feeling for us. Jamie treats her as if she is one of the family. We can not say enough good things about Jamie. Thanks so much Jamie.”
“Timea and her husband Kieth were absolutely amazing to our 2 dogs! We received multiple photos each day along with updates. One of our dogs is extremely anxious and has separation anxiety, Timea was a wonderful fit. Our dogs were happy and slept a good amount once home which is a great sign. We will gladly choose Timea in the future for her care!”
“This was my doodles first stay with Andrea and I was nervous. Andrea sent daily updates and pictures of him and he looked so very content and happy, my mind was at ease! He had his own space inside and enjoyed spending time outside in her big fenced in yard. Thank you Andrea for taking great care of our Doodle!”
“Tiffany quickly communicated and gave daily updates. Her home and yard were very clean and safe. She and her family gave us peace of mind that our dog was being loved and excellently cared for. It was a pleasure getting to know Tiffany, and we would recommend her to others.”
“An extraordinary logistical SNAFU had me leaving my timid, sensitive pup with Kysseria & Deb for 2.5 weeks for her first stay, something I’d never normally do. They went WELL out of their way to help me feel comfortable leaving her, and did a great job sending updates & pictures. She was shocked to see me when I arrived to pick her up & didn’t want to leave, which was a HUGE relief for me. We’ll definitely be back; thank you both so very much.”

She is very knowledgeable and has a lot of expertise with dogs and went above and beyond and gave me great value today when she bathed both of my dogs. One of them is a puppy and quite the shyster. She is a golden doodle and I know they are not easy to keep groomed. Thanks, Amber and I will see you next time!”
About: I've taken care of animals my whole life. I even have a special bond with animals because I understand them and get a long with them better than people. My friends and family have always relied on me to take care of their animals because they know that they will be good hands. I am currently not working so I have a lot of flexibility during the day. I also have a 7 year old son so when school gets out, I do have to pick him up from school. I have 2 cats who are free to roam around the house. I currently do not have any dogs but only because I have a low fence.
“Ashley was fantastic! She made me feel comfortable even though I have quite a bit of worry with leaving my rescue cats with others. She let me know she has rescues too and this was a big plus. She was super responsive and quick and, was flexible with us so we could pick them up early. They came home happier than the last time I had to keep them somewhere for a day which, is huge because… moving my cats is an act of god in itself. I will be using Ashley in the future if she’s available!”
“Fantastic sitters! Spooky was cared for and I didn’t have a single worry during my trip. Will book Jaime again going forward. Thank you so much for everything yall did!”

About: I have 2 dogs of my own. A shiba inu and a mastiff. I train the mastiff to be my service dog. I have watched friends and family's pets all the time. I grew up with cats so I am good with most animals. Also I used to work in a pet store. I am usually fairly free. I dont have a set schedule but I do go to appointments so if I know ahead of time I can usually do most things. I like to follow the same routine that you have in place so as long as you write out what you need I'll make sure to gets it done. I think animals like routine. Also I think its important to know what you find important because you know your animals best. I want to make sure you feel food about the care your animal gets
“Evelyn watched our cats for 14 days while also giving medicine, playing with them and giving them lovings. We were so stressed about leaving our cats with a stranger, but she made the process so unbelievably easy, on top of the fact we have a diabetic cat and she went above and beyond ensuring nothing went wrong. So responsive to messages, sends noted and pictures daily and clearly made sure the litter didnt get out of hand -- absolutely no gross smells or messed by the time we came home. We will be looking for her on our next trip, especially considering how fast our cats took to her and how relaxed they were during the trip and when we came home. Thank you Evelyn so much for all that you do and for being you, you will be contacted again for our next trip, as said.”

About: I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, plants, and more! I’m very detail oriented and will follow all instructions to a tea to ensure your baby is taken care of! I’m very flexible. I can do overnight stays or just drop ins during the day. I’m a student in school, so my summer is super open and my school year I can still fit in watching your fur babies with just a little more of a restricting schedule. I have two dogs who I love dearly. I make sure to give them lots of cuddles and play with them. If I was in your home I would give your pets all the loves and make sure they aren’t lonely without their person.
“Katy was great, and made me feel very comfortable leaving my two cats for the first time after one of them having some small health complications. I’ll definitely be looking to use her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats my entire life and have always loved their different personalities. I think it’s really important to play with them and keep them stimulated while also making sure they have a clean, comfortable home. I have experience home boarding cats for friends and family, as well as giving medications, and cleaning/caring for kitting 6 weeks +.
About: I have cared for cats my entire life, including cats with FLUTD and asthma.

“I can’t say enough what a great experience this has been for myself and my dog Beau. I have never had a sitter for him before and was a little apprehensive in the process. Kyle and Desiree truly made this process the best it could have been. They are so professional and I could tell Beau was really enjoying his time with them! He was happy to go back each day while I needed help with him. They were truly a find. I look forward to working with them in the future!”

About: My wife and have had dogs most of our life and multiple dogs at the same time throughout our 15 years of marriage. She previously worked with HABIC (human animal bond in colorado) to train her dog as a therapy dog to work in hospitals. We currently have 2 dogs, Bear a 13 y/o pyrinesse and Sasha a 8 month old rez dog rescue. Dogs are always welcome here. Dog ages dont matter, Bear has a gentle spirit to him and he loves puppies. Our only requirement is the dogs do a meet and greet and as long as they are good with each other so are we. We can help with minor training i.e. potty training, crate training, sit, shake etc. if you request it. Currently there is someone home 24 hours a day to play with and care for your puppies. I work a flex schedule and my wife is home during the days. We have 6 foot fenced yard for room to run outside, but prefer for their comfort to keep the pups indoors in the ac. We do have a smaller dog run if you prefer your pup to hang out outside. Fresh water is always out. We have several dog beds so they have comfy places to lay and we will work with your feeding schedule. We are familiar with giving oral medications if needed. Treats are handed out on the regular because the puppies deserve them.

About: Nice to meet you, my name is May, and I go by any Pronouns! I am a certified dog trainer with a lifetime of companion care and 3+ years of clinical veterinary experience as well as a pre-vet major. My skills are in veterinary medicine, welfare, conservation, Ecology, and marine biology. I am certified fear free. I have experience with dog & cat grooming, lodging, daycare, training, education, and medical care. I have even worked with dogs from k9 units and search & rescue units. I have 4 cats, and hopefully a dog soon! I can take care of your pets from any age, breed, size, even lizards, birds, fish, or turtles. You name it, and I will be there for them. Common questions: What if my pet has a disability? No problem! You let me know what they need and I can accommodate them, even if they have behavioral issues. What if my pet needs medications? No need to worry. I can administer medications via subcutaneous, transdermal, oral pills or liquids, or even instramuscular. What if my pet is high energy? Those are the best! High energy pets have high activity levels, they require lots of exercise and attention. I can make multiple visits, take them for walks, and even work on training plans while you're away. You'll come home to a happy pet with a new set of skills! Your pets deserve the best. They deserve a guardian. Not just someone who loves them, but who can care for them in all areas. That's what I'm here for. My skills: (and growing) ✨️ Administering medications (via any route; Oral liquid or pill, IM, SQ, Transdermal) ✨️ Grooming/Bathing ✨️ Nail Trims ✨️ Meal Prep & Feeding ✨️ Animal Behavior ✨️ Training ✨️ Medical Care Rover is something I fit into my life whenever I can while I work & continue education. Some seasons are busier than others, and that's normal. Pet Care is already a part of my daily life, so these requests come as a breeze for me. I try to update my calender monthly, but if things don't look right, if your other sitter isn't available, or if you just need someone ASAP, you are always free to message me any time in the app. I try to reply as soon as possible, but sometimes I don't recieve notifications, so it may take me a few hours to reply in some instances. My calender should reflect my un-availability at minimum. If you have any questions, please message me as I am flexible and will accommodate where possible. Keeping things fear-free as much as possible is a priority for me. This means, I won't push your pets boundaries if they won't push mine. I like to keep things calm, relaxing, and easy or neutral. When I meet them for the first time during the meet & greet, I wait for them to come up to me. It's what they are comfortable with. This helps everyone establish trust and familiarity. My hope is that I can be your go to whenever you need pet care. Sometimes, I use miracle tones to help with fear, it is soothing and calming for all. Pet TV is a great option for their environment while you are away and a new person is in their home too. I like to stick to a rhythm or routine. As I enter their palace, I introduce myself gently by using a high pitched soft tone and a treat. Then, I let them sniff me out before they welcome me through. Any grievances? No siree! Next, I like to start feedings and medications after activities. But, I take it at their pace. Afterwards, I will take care of cleaning & notes before my departure from their palace. My values when pet sitting: 💖Trust/Familiarity (Completing the Meet&Greet & sticking to a rhythm or routine) 💖Safety (Keeping doors locked) 💖Compassion (Always stay kind, patient & considerate) 💖Comfort (Temperature in the home, toys, beds) 💖Respect (Their boundaries and space) 💖Quality care/Ensuring all goals are met (Fulfilling all visit requirements) I do not force anything.

About: I professionally worked with dogs for 3 years and have experience working with all types of dogs large and small, high energy and mellow, social and shy.

This is for the safety of both your pup and me! Thanks for checking my profile! As of now, I am currently unemployed and Rover is my main gig. That means more time and availability for you and your pup! If this changes it will be reflected here.

About: Hi! I am a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet mom with a home full of personalities - including 4 dogs (Great Dane puppy mixes, a Great Pyr mix, and a senior pittie who keeps things interesting) and 3 cats. Because of that, I am super comfortable with all sizes, breeds, and temperaments - from giant, high energy dogs, to tiny sensitive guys who need a little extra love, and even the occasional grumpy senior. I truly understand how important it is to keep pets in their normal routine while you're away and I have experience with training, medicine administration, and specialized diets as well as feeding schedules. My goal during every interaction with your babies is to make them as comfy as possible while maintaining their routine, and make them feel loved while their people are away. I am especially patient with shy, anxious, or older pets and always adjust my approach based on what they need. I also know how important communication is, so you will get updates and photos regularly! As a pet mom myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your babies with someone, so I make sure to treat every pet like they're my own! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate most drop-in visits, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and pet care routines throughout the day. Since caring for my own pets is already a part of my daily routine, providing reliable and consistent care for other pets fits very naturally into my schedule. I care for every pet based on their individual needs and routine. I am used to managing multiple pets with different personalities, feeding schedules, diets, and energy levels. Safety, consistency and comfort are always my priority. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, fresh food & water, meds if needed, and love! I am happy to follow specific instructions closely. I am also open to pet sitting in my home for animals who are dog, cat and kid friendly. My home is very pet-centered, and I understand how important it is for animals to feel safe and cared for.
About: I don't know what it is just all dogs take a liking to me right away. I believe every dog is special and unique, incredible. As of now my schedule is very open I only have one client currently my kids in school husband at work I need new dog friends I treat my clients home with respect only going to where I've been instructed everything I need for the dogs is located always lock up
About: 🐾 Personalized, Experienced Pet Care I provide attentive, compassionate pet care that’s tailored to each animal’s unique needs and personality. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of many breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I take the time to truly understand each pet’s routine, energy level, and comfort needs so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. ⸻ 🐶 Specialized Experience: Puppies, Seniors & Foster Dogs I have extensive experience caring for very young animals who require close supervision, consistent routines, and positive guidance, as well as senior pets who need extra patience, gentle handling, and careful monitoring. I’ve also fostered many dogs, giving me experience supporting pets through transitions and helping them feel secure in new environments. I also have veterinary assistant experience in a veterinary hospital that includes patient support, client communication, and animal welfare. ⸻ 🐕 Reactive, Nervous & Training-Support Experience Through fostering and hands-on care, I’ve worked with reactive, nervous, and shy dogs, using calm handling and desensitization techniques to build confidence and reduce stress. I’m experienced in reading body language, preventing triggers, and creating structured, positive interactions that prioritize both the dog’s comfort and safety. ⸻ 🐈🐍🦜🐴 Multi-Species Animal Care In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for reptiles, birds, and large animals. This has strengthened my ability to follow detailed care instructions, maintain proper environments, and recognize subtle changes in behavior or health across many species. ⸻ 🛡️ Safety-First & Detail-Oriented Care Safety is always my top priority with every animal I care for. I’m highly detail-oriented with feeding schedules, medications, enrichment, potty routines, and special instructions. I focus on secure handling, clean environments, and constant awareness to ensure pets are protected and comfortable at all times. ⸻ 💬 Reliable, Loving & Communicative Whether your pet needs calm companionship, structured activity, training support, or extra TLC, I’m committed to providing reliable, knowledgeable, and loving care. I value clear communication and want every owner to feel confident and at ease knowing their pet is in capable, caring hands. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. As a student in a veterinary technology program, animal care is already a central part of my life, and I structure my schedule to allow plenty of time and flexibility for pets in my care. This allows me to be reliable and attentive with dog walks, drop-in visits, and care while owners are away, without rushing or cutting corners. I’m used to planning my days around animals’ needs, including consistent feeding times, exercise, enrichment, and observation. Because of this, I’m able to provide dependable, focused care and give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I also take great pride in taking pictures and updates of the animals in my care. So you can also feel connected and comfortable being away from your furry companions. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on providing a safe, structured, and comfortable environment that meets each pet’s individual needs. I live in an apartment but am surrounded by nature trails, which allows for plenty of exercise, enrichment, and mental stimulation through regular walks and outdoor time. In my home, pets have designated, secure areas for rest, feeding, and play, and I carefully manage space to prevent stress or unsafe interactions. I do not have any permanent animals in my residence, which allows me to fully focus on the pets in my care, though I do foster puppies occasionally with proper separation and supervision. Safety is always a top priority—I follow secure leash practices, maintain a clean environment, monitor behavior closely, and strictly follow owner instructions to ensure every pet feels protected, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

I've cared for dogs ranging from a three-legged Chihuahua to an Irish Wolfhound and am comfortable administering medications, following special feeding instructions, and managing prescription diets. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the importance of providing safe, reliable, and loving care for every pet. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I am already responsible for caring for my own pets. I have a flexible schedule and am available most days and times, with the exception of Tuesdays from 12:00 PM–3:00 PM and Thursdays from 11:00 AM–2:00 PM when I am at work. Outside of those hours, I have full availability and can provide reliable care, walks, drop-in visits, feeding, medication administration, and plenty of attention for your pets. I care for every pet according to their individual needs and routine. In a client's home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and attention, and receive any medications or special care they require. I also help maintain their normal routine to keep them comfortable while their owners are away. My goal is always to treat every pet as if they were my own and ensure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for many years. I have a dog of my own that I was taking care of when not in school. I also take care of family friends pets while on vacation and at work. I love to give dogs baths and play with them! Pet care fits into my schedule since I am a college student. Pet care can be molded into the ideal schedule and I am flexible with coming up with set schedules and routines to properly care for animals before, between, and after classes! I care for pets by making sure they are fed, have water, and a comfortable and safe place to sleep. I love knowing that animals are well taken care of. I love being able to play with animals and generally spend time ensuring that they feel the love they all need and want.
“I am very confident in Jennifer's ability to deal with my dog's specific issues. She is professional, courteous, and I will absolutely hire her again! Thank you Jennifer!”
About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I began high school back in 2020. I have dogsat for extended periods of time, up to 2 weeks straight, and I love on every dog I take care of as if they are my own. Each one stays in my heart forever just a little bit. I'm currently home from college for the summer, so my schedule is completely free as of now! I'm looking for consistent work that can fill up my days now that I don't have classes to worry about. I will take every precaution to keep your dog safe in your home. Your dog will never end up being in my home as I live at home with my parents.

“Yi Ling watched my dog over two weekends, and I was very happy with the care she provided. She was an excellent communicator, always punctual, and completely dependable. One thing to know is that she often watches more than one dog at a time. My dog did great in that environment and enjoyed the opportunity to socialize with other dogs. I would happily book with Yi Ling again!”
“Kyle & Desiree took such great care of our two dogs! The dogs came back relaxed and happy and we thoroughly enjoyed the daily photos they sent us while we were away!”
“I look forward to taking Finn to Ben’s when we go out of town. Finn loves playing with his two dogs, especially his 1-year-old energetic pup with amazing agility! Ben walks Finn along the lakes. We can tell he loves all kinds of dogs and that this is a passion for him, not just a job! He sends photos that warm our hearts. We will continue to bring Finn to Ben for his care of Finn!”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing with Onyx! Her family was so warm and welcoming, and it was clear that Onyx was very well-cared for. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which eased my mind while I was away. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a loving and reliable sitter. She’s truly the best!”
“My dog has an overnight stay with this family and they were wonderful with her! Our dog is so attached to us (and we have no other pets) so she can be picky about what humans and other dogs she trusts and enjoys. I appreciate that she was allowed free access around their house. Most of all, I loved seeing the genuine happiness of Ashley and Jeremy’s boys for hosting. I’m so glad to have found someone that will give us peace of mind that she’s well taken care of when we’re away.”
“This is our second time using Kim and we just love her so much! She goes above and beyond taking care of our dog Gypsy and sends daily updates and photos. I know Gypsy has a wonderful time there and comes a very happy and content pup.”
“Ryan and Lorien were wonderful with our Charlie dog. Their sweet dog even shared their toy with him. Charlie was given lots of love and attention. We felt at ease having him there while on our vacation. Would definitely book with them again. Thanks!”
“Care was excellent. Puppies were very happy. I felt confident and with my dogs in their hands, champ and Woody will be returning. The dogs were well taken care of. Woody isn't always the easiest dog but they had a plan and were very intentional with him. Gave me the confidence to enjoy my vacation”
“Carrie was great with our two dogs! I appreciated the regular updates and photos throughout our pups’ stay. We usually board them separately with friends so it was their first time staying together and we weren’t sure how they’d behave. Carrie’s experience with dogs was obvious and it made us feel much better about leaving our girls at her home. It was also a great chance for them to socialize with friendly pups. We would recommend her.”
“We absolutely LOVE Jamie!! She is very accommodating with our schedule. The love & care she gives Peach, the dog, is fantastic. When we arrive at her house, Peach runs to the door & looks at us like, see ya later. A good feeling for us. Jamie treats her as if she is one of the family. We can not say enough good things about Jamie. Thanks so much Jamie.”
“Timea and her husband Kieth were absolutely amazing to our 2 dogs! We received multiple photos each day along with updates. One of our dogs is extremely anxious and has separation anxiety, Timea was a wonderful fit. Our dogs were happy and slept a good amount once home which is a great sign. We will gladly choose Timea in the future for her care!”
“Tiffany quickly communicated and gave daily updates. Her home and yard were very clean and safe. She and her family gave us peace of mind that our dog was being loved and excellently cared for. It was a pleasure getting to know Tiffany, and we would recommend her to others.”
“An extraordinary logistical SNAFU had me leaving my timid, sensitive pup with Kysseria & Deb for 2.5 weeks for her first stay, something I’d never normally do. They went WELL out of their way to help me feel comfortable leaving her, and did a great job sending updates & pictures. She was shocked to see me when I arrived to pick her up & didn’t want to leave, which was a HUGE relief for me. We’ll definitely be back; thank you both so very much.”
“Eliszabeth was great! Sent me a photo within minutes of me leaving showing Tank was comfortable. I got photos/videos every morning. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing Tank was in good hands and he was getting fun time outside. 5/5!”
“Tyran and his family were incredibly warm and welcoming. They shared photos with us throughout our entire trip. Charles was well taken care of. I would highly recommend them!”
“I could just tell when i walked in the door that bowie was going to be well taken care of. My puppy usually has a hard time when we leave her at a boarding house. She doesnt eat much, and barks all night but not this time! She didn't lose weight, slept and got all kinda of walks and cuddles and I got to relax on my trip because I could tell she was happy and relaxed! Definetely going back thank you so much Meagan!!!”
“This is the second time we've boarded our Bernedoodle with Angela. She and her family are great! Angela keeps us updated with photos and, as a bonus, our pup always gets to meet new canine friends. 🐾”
“Meghan and Hakon are amazing and loved on our pups so much! It was Kinzie’s first stay away and they made her feel so at ease and comfortable in their home. Lincoln is a pro and had a blast. We got plenty of updates and photos and knew our dogs were in great hands. Lincoln and Kinzie look forward to their next stay!”
