Her dog Geordie is such a sweetheart as well. Highly recommend. Thanks again Tracy!”

“Barbara was so great with my Pheobe. She had a few older dogs (my dog is 13) so they got along great. She has a nice fenced in yard and let Pheobe sleep with her at night which she loves.

Thank you so much Barbara!”

From the very beginning, communication was great, and we received detailed updates that really put our minds at ease while we were away.

He came home happy, relaxed, and so well loved. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely book again. Highly recommend! 🐶💛”

While we were away, I got pictures and updates. Overall, it was a great five star experience!”

“Sierra was amazing with our two kittens for drop in visits while we were gone! She went above and beyond to play with them and provide the best photos (seriously, pet photography could be her side gig!). She was very communicative, respectful, and punctual. She even went above and beyond to pull our trash cans back from the road and clean up our mail where a car had hit our mailbox. Such a gem of a human and we will always book with Sierra anytime we’re out of town!”

About: I have taken care of animals of all sorts since I was a teenager. Dogs, cats, Rabbits, and goats and the list goes on. With my ten years of experience I have gotten to love and care for so many animals. I strive to provide the best care for all animals. I currently have a lot of free time and want to utilize that free time to play or entertain your pets. I am available most days of the week and weekends. I always pay close attention to your pups as if they are my own. I have two dogs at home, and a cat. I can walk your dog as much as they need and make sure they are getting optimal care.

They are so comfortable around her and it makes me feel less stressed when I have to leave them because I know they are in great hands! Thank you Gabrielle :)”
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.
“Thank you so much for watching Oliver and Allie!!! Lindsay has been absolutely amazing!!! I have felt so comfortable being away from home knowing she were taking such good care of them!! We will definitely reach out to her again if we need her! I definitely recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!!!”
“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%!!”
“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.”

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.

“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: 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.

From energetic puppies to senior pets, I’m here to give your furry friend the love and attention they deserve!

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: 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.
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.
“Julie is amazing! My lab mix Trevor is going to Julie’s once a week since January and absolutely loves it. He whines to go inside as soon as he recognizes her house. Julie clearly cares about Trevor and sends regular updates with pictures. Thank you Julie!”
About: The level of personal care and attention I give, every animal I care for is treated like family. I don’t just feed and walk pets; I learn their routines, notice the little things, and adapt to their personality and needs. Whether it’s a nervous dog who needs quiet companionship or a playful dog who craves engagement. I create a calm, familiar environment that helps pets feel safe. Working remotely allows me the flexibility and presence to give pets the attention they need throughout the day. Since I’m home, I can provide consistent care, whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just keeping a watchful eye on them. I’m not rushing in between a 9-5 or gone for hours. I’m here, fully available to keep pets comfortable, engaged, and safe in a calm home environment. Whether pets stay with me or I care for them in their own home, my focus is always on creating a calm, familiar, and loving environment. In my home, I offer a safe space where animals are free to relax, and play. I maintain their usual routines as closely as possible with mealtimes, walks, medications, and quiet time. When caring for pets in their own home, I treat their space with respect and care, ensuring everything stays clean and organized. I follow your instructions closely, giving your pet the comfort of their routine and surroundings while you’re away. Whether it’s overnight stays or daily visits, I aim to keep things stress-free for both you and your pet.
“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: 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!

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.

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.
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!
“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!”
About: I have taken care of animals of all sorts since I was a teenager. Dogs, cats, Rabbits, and goats and the list goes on. With my ten years of experience I have gotten to love and care for so many animals. I strive to provide the best care for all animals. I currently have a lot of free time and want to utilize that free time to play or entertain your pets. I am available most days of the week and weekends. I always pay close attention to your pups as if they are my own. I have two dogs at home, and a cat. I can walk your dog as much as they need and make sure they are getting optimal care.
“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: Hi, I'm Shelby (River), and I'm a huge animal lover! I've grown up with pets my entire life and understand the love and care they need. I'm responsible, reliable, and will treat your furry friends like my own. I'm experienced with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I'm happy to follow any specific instructions you have to keep your pets happy and healthy while you're away. Whether it's walks in the park, playtime in the yard, or just cuddling on the couch, I'll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable until you return! Schedule is different every week so just hit me up and I'll see what I can do! I'm not a huge morning person so expect any times to be after 1pm When I'm looking after pets in their own homes, I make sure to keep up with their usual routines for feeding and playtime, so they feel comfy and happy.
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.
“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!”
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.
“Ziggy has made huge progress with Leah interms of going for longer walks/runs. He is more confident on the walks and with other dogs too that pass them. That is HUGE!! Ziggy adores Leah.
