“Sheri was great and has a great set up for watching dogs! She has a large house with plenty of room to roam and a large fenced in backyard for the dogs to run. Sheri is very knowledgeable about dogs and very caring. I will definitely use her again and would recommend to anyone”
“Shayla is absolutely, positively the best! I was a 1st time Rover user and my fur baby never had a sitter outside of family. Shayla by far was just like family!! She provided me updates throughout the day with both photos and video. It was a 2 day stay due to travel, but I could tell my pup was at ease. Shayla helped her make me friends although she was shy and introduced other pups in stages to allow her to be comfortable and become acclimated at her own pace! Never have I seen an individual commit so much care, dedication and compassion to their profession. I will be utilizing her services again in the very near future, as she now has a long term client! You will not be disappointed in choosing her for all your pet care needs!! ???”

“Maria is an amazing dog sitter and a better person! We left our 4 month old rambunctious puppy with her for a whole week. We were nervous but Maria made our anxieties go away. She provided pictures of our puppy playing and being loved by Maria's family, running outside, and playing with her dogs throughout the whole week. I highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for the best care for their dog.”

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, my life has truly revolved around man's best friend. I have raised dogs from energetic puppies to gentle seniors, learning how to read their body language, manage different temperaments, and anticipate their needs. Dogs are not just a job for me—they are a heartbeat for me. Over the last two decades, I have handled everything from administering daily medications and managing strict dietary routines to providing adequate playtime and basic obedience reinforcement. With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, my life has truly revolved around man's best friend. I have raised dogs from energetic puppies to gentle seniors, learning how to read their body language, manage different temperaments, and anticipate their needs. Dogs are not just a job for me—they are a lifelong passion. Over the last two decades, I have handled everything from administering daily medications and managing strict dietary routines to providing structured play and basic obedience reinforcement. I have a massive, fenced yard where your pup can securely run, play fetch, and burn off energy safely throughout the day!! A typical day/schedule would flow similar to this: Mornings: * 7:00 AM: Morning potty break in the huge yard, followed by a fresh breakfast and water. * 8:00 AM: A brisk morning walk or active fetching session to burn off early energy before work starts. * 9:00 AM: As I log onto work, dogs settle into my office. They can snooze on a cozy dog bed right next to my desk or look out the window. Afternoon: Play Breaks and Stretch Time • 12:00 PM: Lunch break! We head out to the big yard for 30 minutes of supervised play, sniffing, and sunshine. Afternoons/Evenings: 3:00 PM: A quick stretch and potty break. If a puppy needs a strict schedule or a senior dog needs frequent relief, this is when they get extra attention. Evening: Wind Down with added Hugs/Cuddling/Loving up on them! • 5:00 PM: Workday ends. We celebrate with dinner and a long, relaxing evening walk around the neighborhood. • 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM: Couch time. Dogs hang out with me in the living room for brushing, belly rubs, and plenty of love. • 10:30 PM: Final potty break in the fenced yard before a safe, peaceful bedtime. Daily sweeps of yard for any hazards; constant supervision, especially during yard times and feeding; transparency in meet ups, daily video or photo updates can be provided to help with any uneasiness or anxiety; leashes used during walks; this list is not all inclusive.

About: I've had animal experience as long as I can remember. I've had a ton of pets growing up, from ferrets, to fish, to cats, and of course dogs. I had to take care of all of them and all of the responsibilities in taking care of a pet. Animals make me a happier and better person. One day I plan on owning and operating my own pet day care, where you can bring any animal you'd like and myself and my crew will take care of them Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I do is take care of my pet; I let my dogs out and I feed them. They go out multiple times a day and get fed twice a day. I will provide your pet with as much outside time as needed. If you have a crate and they consider their crate as their safe space, I will be more than happy to set it up in my home.

In our home the pets can be wherever the humans are, including the furniture indoors and outside. I am self employed and work from home so my daily schedule is very open for pet sitting. My husband also works from home so there is always someone home to look after the pets and make sure their needs are being met. Our home is very dog friendly. Everywhere humans can be the dogs can be also. The backyard is fenced in and the gate is rarely ever opened. We have cameras everywhere so we always have a visual of what's going on inside and outside in the yard. If needed we have a baby gate to section off areas for pets.
About: Hello! We are an animal obsessed family with a huge yard!

I have a large fenced in yard and acres of land. We love all dog breeds, and dogs of all sizes, however my male dog is scared of large male dogs and I have a fragile pug so I prefer if the dog is large, he/she be calmer.

We also have a separate temp controlled building/tiny house if your pet prefers a quiet environment. Either my husband or myself will be home most of the day, longest we would be away is 2-3 hours, so your fur baby will get plenty of attention. We have a few acres for your pet to exercise. There are plenty of dog friends to play with any day at our pet palace! Along with our own dogs, we sometimes have foster dogs from a local rescue!

“Rachel has truly been the best to my pup. She came to visit/walk my dog almost daily for the past few weeks and she has been reliable, responsive, attentive, and kind. Every visit, she left me with lots of cute photos and a detailed update about my pup and their time together. My pup always seemed nothing short of happy, comfortable, and at complete ease. Rachel is a kind hearted and thoughtful sitter who truly treats your dog like her own. She even purchased my golden doodle some of her favorite treats when we ran out at home and made sure to ask for my permission before doing so! The only reason I have parted ways with Rachel is because I have moved out of town, and leaving her was the saddest part about moving! I wish I could continue service and proceed with the same peace of mind Rachel gave me. Like many pet parents, I have a lot of anxiety about others caring for my pup, but I never felt an ounce of that with Rachel. I always had the upmost confidence that my pup was in great hands. I highly recommend her to all!”
“I 've used Chrystal for daily drop ins and a drop by walk. She is great and I am glad I found her for my senior dog. Dottie took right to her and even one of my cats visited with her while she was there. I will certainly use her again. I appreciate all the pictures from the visits!”
About: I've been a pet owner my entire life and pet sat for friends and family since I was around 12 years old. In the last few years, I've also become something of a pet expert through my freelance writing. That same experience means that my schedule is very flexible and I can easily work while hanging out with your pets in your home. I'm currently training to become a dog trainer and behaviorist, and I have first-hand experience with reactive dogs through my own dog, Ginger. I've also cared for special needs dogs in the past, and have a special needs cat, Pepper, of my own. I carry my own pet sitting insurance and am happy to provide proof of insurance upon request. I'm a freelancer that sets my own hours, so I can work in pet care at any time. I can even stay full-time at your home the entire time you're away. I prefer to care for pets in clients' homes. I find that most animals are more comfortable in their own environment anyway, plus there's no concern for how well they'll get along with my own pets.
“Caroline is WONDERFUL!!! My girl Zoe is very scared of new people and she took to Caroline right from the moment I opened the door. She was very affectionate with them in the little meet and greet time and both my babies came home from their walk happy and tired! Very highly recommend and will definitely be hiring her again!”

Every pet is different, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and comfortable!

I’m currently a college student, which gives me a flexible schedule to spend quality time with the pets I care for. I make pet care a priority and always plan my day around the pets I’m watching so they get attention, exercise, and many potty breaks!I’ll also send updates and pictures so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well! I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful because they’re part of the family. I always do my best to stick to their normal routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, medications, or just giving them extra cuddles. I want your pet to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away, and I’ll care for them the same way I would want someone to care for my own. Their happiness and safety will always be my top priority.

“Hannah was such a huge lifesaver in my situation. She was super responsive and friendly. She went above and beyond to make sure she was there for my dog when I couldn't be. I never want another dog walker aside from her, honestly. Very trustworthy and my dog loved her.”
About: I have spent about 10 years pet sitting for other people. I've pet sat dogs, guinea pigs, fishes, rabbits, and cats. I also have a dog of my own so I know what it's like trying to find a sitter that will treat your pet like a family member. I love to take dogs on walks, have no problem cleaning up after them (outside and inside), have no problem giving medication, and love to give belly rubs/head scratches. I love to know more about your pet/pets before hand such as medical conditions, and or aggression towards other animals so I know to look out for signs. Hello everyone, so I do work a full time job weekend shift. I work from 5 am till 7pm Saturday,Sunday,monday, and sometimes overtime. Please keep this in mind when booking for house sitting since it does mean I won’t be able to on those days. If you'd like me to dog sit (from your home) as soon as I get there in the morning it'll be bathroom break, feeding, play time/walk time, attention time, then I'd leave for a little bit and would come back in the afternoon to have another bathroom break, play time, and attention time. Then leave again and at night would do another bathroom break and feeding and playtime. (Bathroom breaks will be given more than three times since each time I come over I’ll be there for 2-5 hrs at a time.) for housesitting I am not able to spend the night since I do have my own dog so it will be me staying throughout the day. I currently work 3 12 hr shifts on Saturday- Monday so those are the only days I’m not available. I’m free Tuesday-Friday to help out in anyway you need. Any details about your pet is greatly appreciated such as any aggression towards other people or animals so I know how to handle the situation.

Furry families have trusted me with dogs as large and old as 10-year-old Great Danes and as young and small as 10-week-old puppies. I'm an avid runner and outdoor enthusiast, with enough energy and love to match any pup's personality, young or old, wild or mellow. I have complete schedule flexibility for all services on weekends and general availability on weekdays. I go on daily walks and runs and would love for a furry friend to join.

Furry friends and I will play within your set space and go explore outside what the area has to offer.
“Madeline is amazing! We have hectic work schedules that change at the drop of a dime, and Madeline has been so accommodating with helping pick up our slack at home with the dogs. She responds so quickly to messages, is extremely flexible, and great with our pets. We love that she takes such great care of them and is happy to help! We rebook with her almost weekly because of how phenomenal she is!”

“Sheri was great and has a great set up for watching dogs! She has a large house with plenty of room to roam and a large fenced in backyard for the dogs to run. Sheri is very knowledgeable about dogs and very caring. I will definitely use her again and would recommend to anyone”
“Shayla is absolutely, positively the best! I was a 1st time Rover user and my fur baby never had a sitter outside of family. Shayla by far was just like family!! She provided me updates throughout the day with both photos and video. It was a 2 day stay due to travel, but I could tell my pup was at ease. Shayla helped her make me friends although she was shy and introduced other pups in stages to allow her to be comfortable and become acclimated at her own pace! Never have I seen an individual commit so much care, dedication and compassion to their profession. I will be utilizing her services again in the very near future, as she now has a long term client! You will not be disappointed in choosing her for all your pet care needs!! ???”
About: With over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—from tiny toy breeds to large working dogs. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I provide patient, loving, and personalized care for each one. I'm comfortable administering oral medications, reinforcing basic training and good manners for puppies, and providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs who may need extra patience and support. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to treat every pet like family, giving you peace of mind knowing they're in experienced, compassionate hands. I have open availability and work from home, so your pet will rarely be left alone. My flexible schedule allows me to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I also have a large, fenced backyard for safe outdoor fun and can provide potty breaks every 2 hours—or more frequently if needed for puppies or senior dogs. Here's a warm, professional response that's well suited for a Rover profile: Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I provide plenty of love, attention, exercise, and playtime while making sure they always have fresh water, meals on schedule, and a safe, comfortable environment. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play, including access to a large, fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time. Since I work from home, they're rarely left alone and receive frequent potty breaks, companionship, and lots of affection throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any training routines. I also make sure your home is respected and secure while keeping you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“I know my boy was in good hands, i received lots of pictures and they was he was spoiled I was wondering if he would even want to leave 😆. I will definitely use again for my sully !!”
About: I grew up with multiple dogs in our home. I have also had: ducks, guinea pigs, bunnies, snake, birds, bottle fed baby goats, hamsters, etc, just to name a few. I love horses and cows and have spent time during the summers on a farm. All of my house pets growing up were my sole responsibility. I have been pet sitting and dog walking for the last four years. I have online classes and a part time job. But my pets are one of my main priorities. I have multiple times during the day to walk dogs and let pets out for potty breaks. And I’m very good at managing my time. I care for pets in my home as if they are my own. They will receive my love and care. And I’m very patient with pets when needed.
