“So I stumbled on Rover on FB. I deceided to try it. I chose 3 people in my area. My situation is a little different as I have 2 cats that just need to be fed once a day. I know this sight is geared mostly to dogs. So one chosen person wanted to charge for 2 cats. The second person got back to me about 3 days before my trip. Kasey got back to me in minutes & said she wanted the job . I had a meet with Kasey, a lovely woman. I knew Kasey was the lady for the job at the meet & greet. Got home today & Kasey did a great job. I only hope she stays with Rover. Thank you Kasey.”

“I believe our boys have found their new best friend! We have a couple of rescues and one of them is high energy, high anxiety. We really needed someone who could help him become more comfortable around other dogs—needed lots of patience! Tara is an answer to a prayer! We had two meet and greets with her dog, and we just picked them up from their first day of daycare. They did great and we are so happy to recommend Tara!”

We are so grateful she was available for us. Highly recommend!!”

I’m consistently present, responsive, and ready to support your pet whenever you need me I care for pets like my own, learning their personalities, keeping their routines, and giving consistent comfort so they feel safe, understood, and genuinely loved
About: I grew up on a farm and have taken care of every farm animal from horses to chickens. My sister said I was like the Pied Piper. Animals would just follow me around. I have trained therapy dogs and one service dog. I love all animals and they love me. I often say I'd rather spend time with dogs than people. (I like people, too) I was a certified teacher for 38 years and just recently retired. Oh, kids like me, too. I'm currently retired and spend a great deal of my time at home. I teach music lessons one afternoon a week but other than that your dog will have lots of attention. I have a 1/4 acre fenced in yard with an electronic gate that is always locked and can only be opened with a remote gate opener. I live in a very shaded area of the historic part of a quiet neighborhood. . I have a neutered husky that loves dogs from 4 to 150 pounds.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a natural connection to pets of all kinds. I grew up with Yorkies and cats, and today I share my home with two retired rescue greyhounds. I’ve also spent time around large breeds like English Mastiffs, so I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I bring a calm, patient energy that helps pets feel safe and comfortable—whether they’re shy, senior, or full of puppy energy. I understand how important it is for your pet to feel at ease while you’re away, and I’m fully committed to creating that sense of home and routine for them. From administering medications to taking gentle walks or simply being a warm presence, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My love for animals started at a very young age—I even worked at a veterinary hospital at age 14 as a dog trainer, which gave me hands-on experience in caring for and understanding pets. That early passion has only grown stronger over the years. Pet care is now a natural part of my daily life. I start and end each day with walks and quality time with my two retired greyhounds, so caring for animals is woven into my routine. Whether it’s feeding, walking, giving medication, or simply offering comfort and companionship, I genuinely enjoy every part of it. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they need—whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight stays, or weekend visits. Making animals feel loved and secure is something I take pride in, and it never feels like a task—it’s something I truly love. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, and any special needs like medication or extra quiet time. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things tidy and consistent, so your pet feels secure while you’re away. I take the time to get to know their personality and provide calm companionship, play, and affection based on what they enjoy. In my home, pets are treated like family. I create a peaceful, pet-friendly environment with soft spaces to relax, lots of love, and a routine that helps reduce stress. Whether they need extra snuggles, slow-paced walks, or a little patience, I meet them where they are—physically and emotionally.

“He has experience in taking care of a high energy dog, at first I was cautious as I dont know how yoki will be with kids 10 under, but he did ok. Jarrad was trying to figure out how to work the apps but eventually was able to send photos. Will see him next time!”
“My dogs had a great experience here. Came back home healthy and very happy. Will definitely take my dogs here again. Jessica and Melissa are great - and they sent lots of great pictures. Highly recommend.”
“Hope and her husband are awesome! You can tell they are dog lovers! I first took Samba for a meet and greet and her puppies are sweet and well behaved. During Samba’s stay, Hope sent many pictures and kept me updated. I am sure Samba had a great time! Thank you Hope! I will definitely book again!”
“Great communication skills. She was very with fast response to request. She sent pictures of her space to make sure it would work for our needs. She also sent an update and pictures of our boys while in her care.”
“My dog stayed with Karlee for 4 nights recently and he had such a great time! She brought him on multiple adventures including the beach and made sure to send many pics and update me daily. I would highly recommend Karlee for dog watching and sitting!”
“We LOVED how Danielle took care of our Josie. I think Josie loved her, too! We got several notes each day, with pics and an occasional video. It was clear that Josie was truly enjoying her stay. Huge thanks go to Danielle for taking on our 75 pound, energetic lab. High recommendations for her - but leave room on her calendar for future Josie visits.”
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for several years and truly understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. As a pet owner myself, I have hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, daily walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I have real-life experience caring for my own animals and helping friends and family with theirs. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for pets of different temperaments — from energetic pups to independent or shy cats. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I currently work part-time and create my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, including afternoons and evenings. Because of my flexible schedule, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care and attention. I have a fully fenced backyard with grass for safe outdoor play and live within walking distance of a dog park for extra exercise (with owner approval). Inside my home, pets are supervised and kept in a calm, clean environment. I can easily follow specific feeding schedules, crate routines, medication instructions, or litter box preferences. For cats, I ensure litter boxes stay clean, provide enrichment and playtime, and respect their space if they prefer quiet companionship. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
“We were so happy with Kendal and Dre. Dexter seemed so comfortable with them and their pup, Zeus. They were excellent keeping us informed with text messages, pictures and videos. Kendal even gave him a goody bag with homemade treats and a toy bone. We have already booked them for another stay next month. Thank you for making us feel comfortable leaving our baby with you both.”
“Audrey and Karson were very kind and welcoming to our Golden girl and excellent with prompt communication. They sent regular photos of her which really helped a lot to know she was doing well with them. Overall, it was an excellent experience w and made it easier for us to be apart from her. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her board with them again!”
About: I am a teacher and over the summer am home and open the a free schedule all day. I also love dogs and love to get exercise in like taking a long walk. I am a teacher who is on summer break and will be home to care for dogs of all sizes. I have 1 dog who is friendly and loves to play. He loves his Daily walks. Pets are welcome to roam in a huge fenced in backyard with plenty of shade. They are open to roam free in the house and snuggle up on the coach when in the home.
“Gina was great with my 2 labradoodles for a week, this was my first time leaving my dogs in 12 years. She sent photos and was available to answer all questions and concerns I had. Susan”
