“I cannot rave about Tracy enough! She took such great care of Oliver while I was away and I could tell he had a wonderful time. Oliver has a few issues with trust when he first meets a stranger, and Tracy made him feel right at home! We hope to see you and Brownie again soon! Oliver misses his new friend :) Thanks for taking such great care of him!”
“Excellent! Welcoming to my family and pet. Communicates before and during pet stay. Has to of her own dogs that are well cared for and she loves. Treated my pup like her own. Sent lots of pix and videos. I believe my pup had a great time. I will be definitely be a returning customer.”
“Cassie was great! I felt at ease leaving my 5 month old puppy with her. She sent lots of pics! My dog had a great time playing with her dogs, and I could see he was treated like part of the family. I will definitely recommend her, and will be using her again. Thank you Cassie for the great care!”
“Glacier’s daycare experience with Stephanie went so well that we decided to do an overnight stay with her and it went even better! Glacier is such a hard dog to feed and he ate so easily with Stephanie. He made himself so comfortable at nighttime on her bed which just shows how comfortable he feels with her. It really gives such peace of mind to know my dog feels comfortable in her care!”
“Roseann was great! She was great with Lily and our dogs got along just fine, it was a relief to know Lily was in good care while I was out of town. She walked the dogs multiple times a day. I would highly recommend Roseann for your pet care.”
“Tammy was amazing! She welcomed our dog and made her feel comfortable. Tammy sent updates and photos each day that we were gone. I could see my dog getting cozier each day! We will definitely call Tammy again when we need someone to watch our dog. I highly recommend her family.”
“Our cat Maslow was very well cared for during his stay, and I really appreciated the updates, communication, and attention given throughout the visit. It was clear he was comfortable and in good hands the entire time. Thank you for being reliable, attentive, and making the experience stress-free. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend to anyone looking for quality care for their pet. :)”
“Emmelin was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog and made the whole experience stress-free for both of us. She sent regular updates and the cutest photos, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. My pup came home happy, calm, and clearly well loved. I’m so grateful for the care and attention Emmelin gave- she’s a true gem! I’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Zoey is always well taken care of at Aimee's house. Aimee took extra care when Zoey had an upset stomach during her stay to figure out what caused it and adjust her food. I make it a point to schedule with Aimee whenever I will be out of town because the peace of mind is priceless.”
“Grateful to have great care for my 2 dogs! Lauren gave us updates and pictures of them while we were away. Our flight didn't get in until late and she dropped the girls at our house so they'd be there when we got home. The best, thanks Lauren!!!”
“What can I say? Absolutely blown away at the care and communication that Brittany provided Hershey. This was Hershey’s first experience with boarding/pet sitting. Brittany made sure she communicated with me at all times and I could feel the love and care she provided. Brittany was accommodating, friendly and provided a safe BEAUTIFUL PARADISE for Hershey and definitely recommend 10 ⭐️ ! Thank you Brittany and your wonderful family and the gift you sent home with Hershey, so kind and a welcome surprise!”
“Robin was exceptional with our pooch. She kept us updated when anything was going on. Followed directions to make sure her care was as good as her parents. I would definitely recommend Robin for any pet parent going out of town for an extended period. 5 Star 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟”
About: I understand that pets are family, and I care for them the same way I care for my own. What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and attention to detail. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or older and needs a slower pace, I make sure they receive personalized care, plenty of attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, including senior pets who may need extra patience, medication reminders, or special accommodations. I also understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing regular updates, and giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and stress-free until you’re back home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, allowing me to provide reliable visits, walks, playtime, and feeding, throughout the week. Let me watch you pet. I follow each pet’s routine closely, providing feeding, exercise, playtime, companionship, and a safe, clean environment while keeping owners updated. I’m here to help. Thanks.

About: I have been taking care of all sorts pets, of all age ranges, since I was 11, whether it was neighbors, friends or co-workers, people have always relied on me to give adequate care such as playtime, feeding, walks and overall just keeping their beloved pet company! Thanks to so many wonderful recommendations from pet owners, my services have grown and now through Rover, I can reach even more pets who deserve a little extra love!
“Carlie, is OUR FAVORITE CAT SITTER EVER!! She stayed over with our cats for 3 nights, she followed every instruction I left for her. Most importantly, she kept them entertained and safe. She communicated with us and sent us pictures and videos so we could see our babies. We are so thankful for her, we will definitely use her services again…and recommend her to everyone 100%!!”

We will definitely reach out to her again if we need her! I definitely recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!!!”
“Morgan was so easy and sweet to communicate with—she took pics and videos of my little guy every day and left the funniest notes about each of her visits. 10/10 would recommend Morgan for all of your pet-sitting needs…she was professional, fun, and actually spent time with my cat when she was there! Will for sure use her services again.”
About: I’ve loved being around animals for as long as I can remember! Throughout college, I’ve cared for friends’ dogs while they were away and have also kitten sat, giving me experience with both dogs and cats. Growing up, I had a dog with diabetes, so I’m comfortable administering insulin and understand the importance of following a pet’s care routine closely. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly home with plenty of room for your pet to relax and explore. I just moved home from college and while my parents aren’t quite ready for the long-term commitment of having a pet of our own, I’d love the opportunity to provide a safe, caring, and fun temporary home for your furry family member through Rover! I’m currently working in person on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and have the rest of the days of the week to play with your furry friends! Your pet will have plenty of space to feel comfortable and stay active during their stay! My home has a large backyard and front yard, providing lots of room for supervised outdoor time and play. Inside, my home also offers plenty of space for pets to relax, explore, and feel at home.
About: What sets me apart is that I don’t treat all pets the same. I adjust my care based on their age, personality, and comfort level. With dogs, I’m attentive to routines, energy levels, and basic training reinforcement—especially for puppies who need consistency, patience, and supervision. I understand how important structure is at that stage and make sure rules are followed, not ignored. With cats, I respect boundaries. I know when to engage and when to give space, which helps reduce stress—especially for shy or anxious cats. I’m also very mindful with senior pets. I move at their pace, pay close attention to behavior changes, and follow care instructions carefully, including medications, feeding schedules, and mobility needs. Above all, I treat every pet like an individual, not a checklist. My goal is for owners to feel confident that their pet is not just cared for, but understood. I currently work, but I’m also needing extra money for my daughter and I.. and what better way to earn it? We both love animals! My schedule is flexible as I am a manager @ my other position. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, whether they’re in my home or yours. I know consistency is what keeps pets calm and comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect the space and the pet’s established habits—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter care, and any special instructions are followed carefully. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can spot changes early and communicate them right away. In my home, pets are kept in a clean, calm, and supervised environment. Dogs get appropriate exercise and structured downtime, while cats have quiet areas where they can feel safe and unbothered. I never force interaction and always prioritize comfort and safety. For puppies and seniors, I provide extra supervision, patience, and care. Puppies get consistent reinforcement of routines, while senior pets are allowed to move at their own pace with close attention to mobility, medications, and comfort. No matter the service, I treat every pet as an individual and make sure owners receive regular updates so they feel confident their pet is in good hands.

About: We have three miniature schnauzers and a medium size Pharaoh hound that we adopted a few years ago. We have been the go to pet sitters for friends and family members for several years. Our family loves dogs and when they stay with us, we treat them like our family. Your babies will be well loved in our home. I work out of the house a couple days a week. Usually on Monday Tuesday and Wednesday. I have a flexible schedule and work at home often. When I am not home, our adult daughter is usually here and also helps with the dogs. We have full family participation in the care of our pup friends. I can care for your small dogs in my home. I have a large, fully fenced yard so there is room to run and have fun!
About: Thank you for visiting my page! My name is Michael, and I have been living with, and taking care of dogs my whole life. Growing up on a horse farm, with many dogs, I developed an unconditional love for animals, but especially dogs! It has been my dream to be able to take care of dogs for a living and I am so grateful for the opportunity and privilege to do just that! Your dog(s) will have just under 4 acres of fully fenced property to roam and enjoy, including access to the pool if they enjoy swimming! They will have their very own air conditioned room with a dog door to their own private deck to enjoy any time, day or night! Their room also comes with 24 hour camera access so you can check in on them whenever you want! I am home 24/7 to make sure your dog(s) are safe and enjoying their stay. My family has 3 bulldogs of our own. They are very sweet and fun loving pups! They love having new dogs over to play with, but if your dog prefers their own personal space, my dogs have a separate fenced area to enjoy. My dogs get multiple walks throughout the property daily, then spend the majority of the day lounging outside in the sun or under one of the many shaded areas on our property. Your dog(s) can walk with the pack or they can be walked privately. I will be with them at all times so they can let me know if they would like to roam, play or lounge outside or if they’d prefer to relax in their room or on their private deck. I am home with the dogs 24/7! We start the day with breakfast and a nice long walk around the property. My dogs tend to enjoy spending the rest of the morning lounging outside, but your dog(s) can let me know what they would like to do. We can play fetch, go swimming, lounge, or they can just roam. If they prefer their own space, I can put my dogs in their separate fenced in area so your dog(s) can comfortably enjoy the rest of the property. If they get too hot, I can put them up in their air conditioned room where they still have outdoor access through their doggy door if they want to relax on their private deck and enjoy the view. I like to take the pack on another walk in the early afternoon in the wooded area where it is cooler, and then we go on one more walk after dinner once it cools down before bed. The important thing is nothing is set in stone. I will allow your dog(s) to let me know what they want to do and I will keep you updated with messages and pictures as much or as little as you like. I have nearly 4 acres of fully fenced property. Half open and half wooded, with plenty of shaded areas for the dogs to lounge. Your dog(s) will have their own air conditioned room with a bed and a dog door that takes them onto their own private deck to enjoy the view. You will also have 24 hour camera access to check in on your dog(s) anytime. My 3 dogs are very friendly, but I understand some dogs may prefer or need to stay separated. In this case, my dogs have their own fenced in area so your dog(s) can still safely and comfortably enjoy the property.
“BOOK HER☺️ my little old dog can be really particular and hard to deal with but Emmelin is so patient and sweet with him! I truly don’t know what we would do without her doggy daycare. Has made a massive difference in my dogs being so much happier now. No matter what service you need with your dog she will take the best care of them 🩵 so grateful to have her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind! I’ve had neighbors, friends, and family dogs. We always have FUN and I always enjoy their company! I am currently a Stay at home Mom/Student. I am looking for an extra income doing something I love and enjoy…animals! Free all days of the week. I have a big fenced in yard and I can crate your dog(s) if needed. But I am home most days. I am able to walk dogs if they enjoy walks as well as playing in a big yard.
“Ms. Barbara was the first person I used on Rover and my experience was great. My puppy absolutely loves Ms. B and her snuggles! She was very responsive and made sure to keep me updated throughout the day.”
About: My wife and I have been dog owners most of our lives and have often watched friends’ pets. We have a 7-year-old Border Collie. She is spayed and gets on well with almost all dogs. We have a 1/4 acre fenced back yard. We work from home and I have flexibility that allows me to spend plenty of time in caring for your pet. We walk our dog at least twice a day, weather permitting. So, your pup will get plenty of exercise! I'm organized and responsible, and will be very responsive to you and your pet's needs. I will keep your dog safe at all times and quickly tend to any issues or needs that arise. We limit boarding & day-care to just one dog at a time. Our house is in a very low-traffic cul-de-sac, with a 1/4 acre fenced back yard.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who treats every pup like part of the family. I’ve been caring for animals since I was 10, and I still get just as excited every time I meet a new furry friend! I work from home full time, which means your pup will get plenty of love, attention, and playtime throughout the day. My 10-year-old daughter is my little helper and loves spending time with our overnight guests. We also have a friendly 6-year-old Shepherd Lab mix who’s always ready to make a new buddy. Our fenced-in backyard is perfect for zoomies, and we’ve got safe sidewalks nearby for fun, sniff-filled walks. We do ask that our doggy guests are potty trained. I’ve also volunteered and fostered with our local humane society, so I know how to keep pups happy, healthy, and feeling right at home. Your dog might miss you just a little—but I promise, they’ll have such a blast they won’t even notice you’re gone! Feel free to reach out with any questions. I can’t wait to welcome your fur baby into our home! Since I work from home, your pup will have plenty of attention and outdoor time whenever they need it! I’m all about keeping their routine as close to what they’re used to at home, so they feel safe, happy, and totally at ease. I have a fenced in back yard and a dog of my own to keep your pup entertained. My daughter and I love animals and will give them plenty of play time and snuggles!
“Roseann's home is a great place to leave your fur baby. It is clean and fresh and I had no qualms about leaving my Gizmo with her. She has a deck that the pups can go out and watch the activity. Roseann walks the dogs 3 times a day and the pics I got showed my pup really enjoyed that. Her own dog is so sweet and well behaved. I will absolutely leave Gizmo with Roseann again.”
About: I have had all my life for the last 30 years I've had Rottweilers and for the last 18 years I've competed with them in obedience protection and tracking. I am a licensed AKC temperament test judge for all breeds. My house is dog friendly with a fenced in backyard sitting on 1 acre. I'm semi retired so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends. If your dog needs training, I'm also available for this as I am a professional Dog Trainer and AKC temperament test Judge. Now a days I'm not competing so much which allows me to spend more time at home. Your dogs will be spoiled here and may not want to go home. I like to play with them and also stimulate there natural instincts. For some that may be tracking for others that may be problem-solving with such things like puzzles made for dogs.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years, including dogs, cats, and small animals. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or medication administration, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and special needs, and I always prioritize your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness. From energetic puppies to senior pets, I’m here to give your furry friend the love and attention they deserve! I currently have open availability and can accommodate most scheduling needs, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Whether you need early morning drop-ins, midday check-ins, or evening care, I’m flexible and ready to help. Just send a message. I’ll do my best to fit your pet’s routine! In my home, I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment. It’s cat-safe with no toxic plants or exposed cords, and there are cozy spots for lounging, playing, or hiding—whatever makes your pet feel most at ease. I maintain a consistent feeding, play, and cleaning routine to help pets feel secure and cared for. I never leave pets unattended for long and give them lots of love, attention, and quiet time when needed. In clients’ homes, I follow your pet’s routine exactly as you instruct—feeding, walks or litter box care, playtime, and medication if needed. I respect your home and keep everything clean and tidy. I also offer updates with pictures and notes, so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well-cared for while you’re away.
About: I care for dogs as my own. Your fur baby will get hugs, rubs, wiped down after each walk. Please expect for Face and teeth washes. I currently work from home. I have time to walk your fur baby by 7am. Midday, go on second walk then dinner in the evening. I have a fenced backyard for the babies to run around. I prepare the meals as instructed and will house your baby inside a playpen.

“Baba has had a GREAT week at Bryn’s house!! Bryn is so knowledgeable about dog behavior. Having other dogs there social interaction really worked wonderfully. Baba was TIRED, WORN OUT when she got home, and that meant that we ALL got sleep at night!! Thank you very much! Booking our next week right now!???”
“I’ve had a great experience with Jennifer! She always makes both me and my dog feel very welcomed and comfortable. She’s attentive, caring, and takes the time to make sure all of my dog’s special needs are met. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is in such good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My love for animals—especially dogs—is something deeply rooted in who I am. To me, they are more than just pets; they are pure-hearted companions, like angels in disguise, who deserve to be treated with the same love, respect, and kindness that we give to one another. I’ve had the privilege of sharing my life with three incredible dogs: Ciccia, Denise, and Dexter—each of them leaving an unforgettable mark on my heart. Dexter, my most recent soul match, came into my life when he needed someone the most. From the moment we found each other, I knew I would do whatever it took to give him a happy and comfortable life. Beyond my personal experience, I also earned a Veterinary Assistant degree from the Animal Behavior College in 2008. While I haven’t worked in the field long-term, my education gave me the ability to recognize when a dog is in distress and understand their body language—something that helps me ensure their safety, comfort, and well-being at all times. As a former Rover customer myself, I know how important it is to find a sitter you can truly trust—someone who will care for your dog as if they were their own. That’s exactly the kind of care I strive to provide. Whether it’s keeping them company at home, taking them for a walk, making sure they’re well-fed, or simply giving them the love and attention they crave, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I am a business owner working from home with a very flexible schedule which allows me to manage my own daily tasks all week to meet your furry baby's needs. Besides love, "Safety is my priority" because I know how stressful and even scary can be to leave your pet in someone else hands, I am a Rover customer myself. I understand dogs have their own routines and schedules and their own way to do different activities, so once I will get to know your furry baby I shall make sure his needs are met in the safest way while respecting his/her own habits. Some people see just a dog, but I know they all have different personalities, their own way to do things and even if they can't verbally express it, I know they can communicate with us if we really take the time to know them. I will always make sure that your pet is comfortable and safe with me just as he/she would be with you! <3
“My terrier mix is not always easy to please but she clearly liked Morgan right away. Morgan is an obvious dog lover and and has good communicator skills (human and canine) which enabled her to meet my dog’s idiosyncratic needs easily. She was flexible and adaptable when my schedule changed. Definitely recommend her!”
About: I've been the mom of a yorkie for 16 years, she has literally become a part of our family, so of course she’s well taken care of like all of our kids. My promise to you is to love and treat your pet as if it were my own. I work from home, so i will have plenty of time to tend to your fur babies. I'm available for boarding, daily and overnight seven days a week. I have a fenced backyard so your fur baby will get plenty of exercise as they are able to roam the back yard at their leisure

About: I grew up around animals and currently have chickens, goats, pigs, cats and dogs of my own... I'm currently pursuing dog training and behavioral work certifications and truly enjoy being around animals Aside from my own homestead chores and housesits from established repeat clients, this is mostly what I do. I work at a bagel shop 8-12 hours a week; it's minimally time consuming. Each family & animal has vastly different needs depending on the scenario so I make sure to abide by the directions provided by every owner on a case by case basis.
“Always on time and with excellent communication. She takes great care of our dog, Mila, and even goes the extra mile by helping reinforce better lease control. Sierra is highly recommended!”
About: Hi, I’m Zoe! I’ve had the pleasure of owning and raising both dogs and cats throughout my life. In addition to my personal experience, I’ve also helped family, friends, and family friends with their pets. I know how important your pet is to you, which is why I’m committed to providing reliable, trustworthy, and respectful care. Whether it’s a walk, keeping them company, or just a quick check-in, I’ll ensure your pets are happy and well cared for, giving you peace of mind while you're away. I’m currently a full-time college student with a flexible schedule since I attend school from home. I’m great at planning ahead to make sure every pet in my care gets the attention, playtime, and consistency they need. While my schedule offers a lot of flexibility, I’m not able to commit to recurring or high-frequency visits (such as multiple daily check-ins over several consecutive days). I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits both my availability and your pet’s needs! To care for pets in a client's home, I make sure to follow the specific instructions provided by the client, ensuring each pet's routine is maintained. This includes walking dogs, feeding both dogs and cats according to their schedules, and ensuring they have access to fresh water. I also check in on their well-being, engage in playtime, and give them the necessary affection to keep them happy and comfortable. Additionally, I keep the home tidy, clean up after the pets, and watch for any signs of illness or distress, always keeping the client informed of any important updates.

Here are some key aspects that distinguish me: Comprehensive Pet Care Experience Diverse Animal Experience: I have cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals, which has equipped me with a broad understanding of different species' needs. Special Needs Pets: I have hands-on experience with pets that require special attention, such as those with medical conditions, behavioral issues, or senior pets. Special Skills Puppy Training: I offer puppy training services, helping young dogs learn basic commands, potty training, and socialization skills.

I am skilled in managing their special needs, including administering medication, providing gentle exercise, and ensuring they are comfortable and happy. Medication Administration: Whether it's oral medication, injections, or topical treatments, I am proficient in administering medication to pets safely and efficiently. Personalized Attention Tailored Care Plans: I create customized care plans for each pet based on their unique needs, routines, and preferences. This ensures that your pet receives the best possible care tailored to their specific requirements. One-on-One Attention: I limit the number of pets I care for at a time to ensure that each animal receives ample one-on-one attention and care. Professionalism and Reliability Flexible Scheduling: I offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your needs, whether it's for daily visits, overnight stays, or extended care. Emergency Preparedness: I am trained in pet first aid and CPR, and I am always prepared to handle emergencies calmly and efficiently.

Passion for Animals Lifelong Animal Lover: My genuine love for animals drives me to provide the highest level of care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away. With my extensive experience, specialized skills, and heartfelt dedication, I am confident that I can provide exceptional care for your beloved pets. As a business owner with the flexibility to create my own schedule, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. Here’s how I integrate pet care into my life, ensuring that each pet receives the attention and care they deserve: Daily Routine Morning Care: Early Start: My day begins early, allowing me to attend to pets that need morning care, such as feeding, administering medication, and providing exercise or playtime. Routine Check-Ins: I schedule check-ins for pets that require multiple visits throughout the day, ensuring they have consistent care and companionship. Midday Break: Flexible Midday Visits: I allocate time during the midday to visit pets, whether it’s for a walk, a feeding session, or a quick check to make sure everything is okay. This is particularly beneficial for pets with separation anxiety or those needing frequent potty breaks. Client Communication: I use this time to update pet owners with photos and notes about their pets, keeping them informed and reassured. Afternoon and Evening Care: Extended Visits: For pets requiring longer visits, such as those needing more exercise or playtime, I schedule these in the afternoon or early evening. Night Routine: Evening care often includes feeding, medication administration, and ensuring pets are settled in for the night. Schedule Coordination: At the start of each week, I plan my schedule to accommodate all pet care appointments, ensuring there are no conflicts and that each pet receives dedicated time. Client Consultations: I reserve time for new client consultations and meet-and-greets with pets to understand their needs and establish a bond before starting care. Regular Clients: Consistent Visits: For regular clients, I set up a consistent weekly routine that aligns with their needs, whether it’s daily walks, bi-weekly check-ins, or weekly deep-cleaning of litter boxes. Adaptability: My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to any changes or additional needs that arise, ensuring I can always provide the necessary care. Personal Time: Self-Care and Downtime: I prioritize self-care and downtime to recharge, ensuring I am always at my best when caring for pets. This balance helps me maintain high energy levels and enthusiasm for my work.

About: I have been taking care of all sorts pets, of all age ranges, since I was 11, whether it was neighbors, friends or co-workers, people have always relied on me to give adequate care such as playtime, feeding, walks and overall just keeping their beloved pet company! Thanks to so many wonderful recommendations from pet owners, my services have grown and now through Rover, I can reach even more pets who deserve a little extra love! I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! I have my own car so commuting will not be a hassle. I may not be able to stay at the house 24/7 but will be able to exceed expectations of adequate care. I will let your dog out a minimum of three times a day, and clean your cats litter box a minimum of twice a day. Give me any instructions for feeding and I will be right on time and do whatever it takes to make sure they are healthy and fed! I play with your furry friends until they are all tuckered out and am willing to do anything to give your pet a comfortable and fun experience!
About: I’ve loved being around animals for as long as I can remember! Throughout college, I’ve cared for friends’ dogs while they were away and have also kitten sat, giving me experience with both dogs and cats. Growing up, I had a dog with diabetes, so I’m comfortable administering insulin and understand the importance of following a pet’s care routine closely. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly home with plenty of room for your pet to relax and explore. I just moved home from college and while my parents aren’t quite ready for the long-term commitment of having a pet of our own, I’d love the opportunity to provide a safe, caring, and fun temporary home for your furry family member through Rover! I’m currently working in person on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and have the rest of the days of the week to play with your furry friends! Your pet will have plenty of space to feel comfortable and stay active during their stay! My home has a large backyard and front yard, providing lots of room for supervised outdoor time and play. Inside, my home also offers plenty of space for pets to relax, explore, and feel at home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind! I’ve had neighbors, friends, and family dogs. We always have FUN and I always enjoy their company! I am currently a Stay at home Mom/Student. I am looking for an extra income doing something I love and enjoy…animals! Free all days of the week. I have a big fenced in yard and I can crate your dog(s) if needed. But I am home most days. I am able to walk dogs if they enjoy walks as well as playing in a big yard.
“I can't say enough good things about Gabrielle. I have a crazy work schedule and a home full of spoiled pets that I adore. I have absolutely no worries when I have her come to see my guys. Today, Gabrielle noticed dog with heart failure was coughing when she came over. She texted me to see if she should give him a dose of his medication. When I got home, he was doing great and showing no signs of distress. I also know my cats love her, because they all come out to see her every time!”
“My dog is timid around strangers and reactive on leash. He needs a skilled handler. Garrett is exactly that. Garrett came to our home to meet with Walker and establish a relationship with him. Garrett was patient and earned Walker’s trust. I highly recommend Garrett! He is great!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes. I have also taken care of cats and less common pets (hedgehogs, geckos and sugar gliders). I’ve been watching/walking dogs for my family and friends since I was in middle school. I live in a house that has a fenced in back yard. I have a sweet maltipoo of my own that is part of my daily routine. Each morning your dog can expect a nice short walk and play time outside to burn off some energy. There are plenty of comfy spots for naps and we’ll play with plenty of toys throughout the day. I can care for your pets either in my home or their own. I have experience pet sitting from my home as well as from others homes. If we have extra visitors in our home, we treat them as if they were our own! They fall into our normal routines and make sure to make them as comfortable as possible!
About: What sets me apart is that I don’t treat all pets the same. I adjust my care based on their age, personality, and comfort level. With dogs, I’m attentive to routines, energy levels, and basic training reinforcement—especially for puppies who need consistency, patience, and supervision. I understand how important structure is at that stage and make sure rules are followed, not ignored. With cats, I respect boundaries. I know when to engage and when to give space, which helps reduce stress—especially for shy or anxious cats. I’m also very mindful with senior pets. I move at their pace, pay close attention to behavior changes, and follow care instructions carefully, including medications, feeding schedules, and mobility needs. Above all, I treat every pet like an individual, not a checklist. My goal is for owners to feel confident that their pet is not just cared for, but understood. I currently work, but I’m also needing extra money for my daughter and I.. and what better way to earn it? We both love animals! My schedule is flexible as I am a manager @ my other position. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, whether they’re in my home or yours. I know consistency is what keeps pets calm and comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect the space and the pet’s established habits—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter care, and any special instructions are followed carefully. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can spot changes early and communicate them right away. In my home, pets are kept in a clean, calm, and supervised environment. Dogs get appropriate exercise and structured downtime, while cats have quiet areas where they can feel safe and unbothered. I never force interaction and always prioritize comfort and safety. For puppies and seniors, I provide extra supervision, patience, and care. Puppies get consistent reinforcement of routines, while senior pets are allowed to move at their own pace with close attention to mobility, medications, and comfort. No matter the service, I treat every pet as an individual and make sure owners receive regular updates so they feel confident their pet is in good hands.

“I cannot recommend Rachael highly enough! While I was out of town on a business trip, she took exceptional care of my sweet dog, Nola, and gave me complete peace of mind. She was always prompt, incredibly reliable, and very thorough with her updates and report cards after every walk. It was clear from the start how much she genuinely loves dogs. My pup absolutely adored her and was always excited to greet her at the door! Knowing that Nola was not only well cared for, but also happy and loved while I was away meant so much. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly wonderful with dogs, Rachael is the best!”

“Glacier’s daycare experience with Stephanie went so well that we decided to do an overnight stay with her and it went even better!

It really gives such peace of mind to know my dog feels comfortable in her care!”

“My first experience with the Rover app couldn’t have been better! I truly hit the gold mine finding Robyn to care for my Yorkie, Molly, during my 8 day cruise. Robyn was quick to respond and even allowed a preliminary visit to get to know her and her home. To say that Robyn is literally the sweetest person is quite an understatement! She is an absolute gem and I seriously felt like I won the dog sitter lottery! After being new to the area and being nervous about this experience, I knew instantly that Molly was in good hands! Molly quickly took to her and was spoiled beyond belief during her time there. I received pictures and updates regularly and I know Molly had the best time ever. It’s easy to say that I’ve met a new friend as well with Robyn. She will certainly be the first schedule, hands down, that I look at when having to find another sitter. Thanks Robyn! You’re the best and we already can’t wait to see you again!”
