We had a fantastic experience with our Rover sitter, Mallory! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we really appreciated the frequent updates, photos, and messages while we were away. It was clear that our dog was receiving lots of attention, care, and affection. The biggest compliment we can give is that our dog came home calm, relaxed, and happy, a sure sign that he felt comfortable and well cared for during his stay. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Mallory again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter.

Autumn was great with our black Lab for a long weekend away. She sent updates with pics and videos. I felt like she spoiled our dog with lots of love and attention! Easy drop off and pick up. She definitely cares for your pet like they were her own.

Olivia is so attentive and thorough with care instructions, has a beautiful back yard that my dog loved, and has a genuine love for animals that I could understand from our first meeting. My dog came home happy and freshly exercised, so I was able to relax immediately. Thank you Olivia!

About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and have had both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality. I love being an “auntie” to friends’ and neighbors’ pets, whether that means going for walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company while their families are away. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family members because I’ve relied on kind pet sitters to love on my own pets, too. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for like they’re part of my own family. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I also travel intermittently for work, but when I’m home, I love starting and ending my day with morning, afternoon, and evening walks—especially with a four-legged friend by my side! I’m a parent with my kids on a week-on, week-off schedule (Friday to Friday), so during my kid-free weeks, I have even more flexibility for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care. During the weeks my kids are with me, they’re kind, respectful animal lovers who have grown up with dogs and cats and enjoy helping give pets extra love and attention. I’m also excited to share that I’m currently having a fenced backyard installed, creating an even safer and more fun space for dogs to run, play, and explore. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I know how important it is to have someone you trust with your furry family members, and I’d love the opportunity to provide them with a safe, loving, and happy home away from home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m happy to crate your dog if that’s part of their normal routine or if you prefer. I also have gates installed to safely separate areas of my home, including access to the deck and carpeted rooms, so I can easily accommodate different pets’ needs and personalities. I’m currently having a fenced backyard installed, which will soon provide an even larger secure space for dogs to run and play. Whether your pet needs extra structure, freedom to play, or somewhere quiet to relax, I’m flexible and happy to tailor their care to the routine that helps them feel most comfortable and at home.

We love how well Lance interacts & takes care of our cats. He, truly, is a cat whisperer. We think they like him more than they like us. Our youngest will NEVER sit on our lap. He sends pictures of her every day snuggled up on his lap. We can't figure it out. When we leave them, we don't worry about them because we know they are in good hands. Thank you, Lance, for your caring so much about their needs. We will see you next time we leave town.

About: I’ve had a dog in the home for almost my entire life, and got my first on my own during Covid to have a friend around 😊 My second dog moved in two years ago. I work full-time from home, so, other than leaving once a day for working out at the gym, my schedule is flexible to fit around your pet’s needs. I have a fenced yard and two dogs who love to play. I allow dogs on the furniture and have a gate to prevent them from getting downstairs. My neighborhood is quiet and great for walks.

About: Hi! I’m Olivia, and I love taking care of animals! I have 10 years of experience taking care of many different animals including senior, special needs, puppy & adult dogs, large & small breeds. Cats, kittens, guinea pigs, various small animals; bunnies, rats, mice, fish, you name it. I even ran my own hamster rescue, having 18 hamsters at once, years ago. I’ve volunteered at the animal shelter growing up because I just love dogs so much! I’ve been pet sitting for friends & neighbors for 5+ years now. I have had 5 dogs throughout my childhood, probably would’ve had 12 cats too, if my grandpa wasn’t allergic, safe to say i’m addicted to animal lovings! I currently have a Great Pyrenees & lab mix currently that are spoiled rotten. Need someone who understands your pets special needs- like medicine, potty breaks, and the dog who won’t eat their treat until you turn around and look away from them? I’m your gal! This is more than just a job for me, it’s dedication & passion! I can do whatever will meet your babies needs, short or long term! Housesitting experience aswell. I’m amazing with animals & am very friendly, trustworthy, & dependable. I offer overnight boarding, pet & house sitting, doggy daycare, drop in visits & lots of love! I work part-time as a server, in the mornings from 5:30am- 11:30am on Thursday & Fridays. Sundays from 5:30am-2pm. Otherwise I have open availability for your furbabys needs. Your baby will be cared for around the clock, and there is always somebody home to watch the pups! I have a fully fenced in huge backyard with my two friendly dogs, Serenity & Halo, to keep yours company with outdoor supervisions and playing & exploring with my dogs. If needed, my dogs can be kept away and your dogs have their own private room, and or also kenneled when needed, we have a large kennel unless provided. I am also available for in house pet sitting aswell as walks, check-ins, etc. I have experience with in-house and just got done watching my neighbors 3 dogs for a month long pet & house sit. Your pup will be treated as one my own babies! Dogs are allowed on furniture around here. Our home is clean & mostly dog proofed. Will provide picture updates & videos. Love gardening and can keep your plants alive while you’re away.

About: My family owned a dog when I was in middle school for about a year and a half, but due to busy schedules at the time we had to give him up. My brother had a dog for a little over five years, and I enjoyed helping him take care of her while I was living with my parents, and I went to their house to see her and help take care of her when needed before she passed away! I am different from other sitters because I will spend as much time as I possibly can with your pet! I know that with my brother’s dog, Emma, I wanted to be home with her as much as I can when I was living with my parents so she could be out of her kennel as often as possible. I will also make sure that everything you require of me will be completed in the most appropriate manner possible. I will always make sure that your pet is safe! I will always have an eye on your pet when they go to the bathroom outside, and will talk with you to get as many details as possible to make sure everything goes well while watching your pet! I am a teacher full time, so I would want to make sure that both you and your pet are okay with me being at my full time job during the day when I am house sitting. I am available to do house sitting all seven days of the week. I am available to do drop-in visits and dog walks only on the weekends (I am available all day on Saturdays and Sundays to do these) due to working as a teacher, however if you ever need a drop in or dog walk in the evening during the week please feel free to send me a request for it! I also regularly change my calendar so I am usually am available to do drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays that I am out of school! I will make sure that your pet is my priority while under my care! I will take great care of your home, no matter which service you request! I will be very respectful of everything in your home, and I make sure I am around to take care of your pet(s) as often as possible! If you have any requests on what you would like me to do with your pet(s), no matter which service it might fall under, please let me know!

About: I think what sets me apart from other pet sitters is that I am a very active and attentive person. I love spending quality time and really enjoy keeping myself busy. I have had years of watching family friends pets and feel very confident taking care of animals, as I also have one of my own. I am currently working full time 9-6PM, but come this fall I am moving and completely starting over! I am looking to just have some fun and live life to the fullest! My routine for the first few months in my new place will be very loose scheduled and laid back. I am a very tidy and clean person. I often find myself leaving a place better than I found it! To some that may be annoying, but to a pet owner, I think they would always love a little extra help around the house and knowing they would be coming back to a nice clean place. I also am a very empathetic person, and would want to treat any pet, the way I treat my own.

About: I have been pet sitting since I was about 12 years old! I have pet sitted dogs, and cats! Each pet deserves as much attention and comfortablity when their owners/parents are away. I am very organized, dilegent, and cautious when it comes to pet sitting. I strive to give a great experience for both the pet and the parent so do not hesitate to reach out! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out and I will respond as soon as possible! :) I am currently in college, studying for my associates in Liberal Arts: Math and Science! I primarily take online classes, and will update my schedule if I am unavailble due to an in person class! This summer 2026, I will be unavaible due to class Mondays and Wednesday from 10:10-12:10pm. I am unable to have any pets stay with me due to my three cats. Unless they are reptillian, then they are welcome to stay in my home in a seperate and secure bedroom away from my cats! For taking care of pets in your home, you should expect them to be fed at their normal times, played with, and being taken care of using the expectations of the owner!
