“Katie is an awesome sitter! We left our 10 month old puppy with her while he was recovering from being neutered and she took excellent care of him. Followed all his care instructions and sent us update pictures. She was quick to respond to all of our messages and very nice. We loved that she was close to home and when we picked up scooter early she was very accommodating. We will for sure use Katie again and we’re relieved we have found a safe place for our puppy scooter when we are traveling 🙂”

I would highly recommend Raina!!”

About: I started caring for cats at the age of 13. Cats are often forgotten about and seen as easy, but I believe they need just as much care and attention as dogs! I have experience with elderly cats, bottle feeding kittens, litter box training kittens, giving by mouth medication, and feeding outdoor/stray cats clients may have around.
About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for many years. I have two wonderful dogs Kona and Beans, both over the age of 10! Have yet to meet an animal who doesn’t like me! Can move around my schedule for whenever your pet needs! Available for after work drop ins as well! Please reach out if you need a sitter! Love playing in the yard with dogs, especially throwing the ball and playing fetch. Always make sure they have plenty of water afterwords. As well as lots of pets and belly rubs!
“Courtney is excellent! She was awesome with our kitties and also great at communicating with us. She made it easy for us to be away. We'll definitely be using her again and recommend her with no hesitation!”

“We're so happy to have found Jenny on Rover! She's super sweet and clearly loves animals. She took wonderful care of our two kitties, who, evidenced by the photos, loved her because they won't play with just anyone. We're so grateful for her patience with one of our kitties who needs daily medication. She sent thorough update after each visit and really great pictures too!”

About: I’ve had animals all my life from seniors to littler of puppies. I’ve been to classes to teach and have taken care of multiple pets through hospice.

We go on frequent walks and have play time throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard where pets can safely play, exercise, and enjoy some outdoor time. I provide fresh water, supervision, and a safe, comfortable environment. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and care instructions.

“Ros is great! She was on time and communicative and seemed very kind. My cats seemed comfortable with her right from the start. I had to go out of town while one of my cats was sick, and Ros was super easygoing about all the extra instructions and annoying follow-up questions. I would definitely book with her again.”


“Crystal has been an amazing sitter while I’ve been out of town for work. Great communication, sent pictures and kept me updated on everything going on when she arrived and left my house. She took excellent care of my three dogs, including my senior pup who needs a little extra attention. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for while I was away. I highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs!”

About: My name is pronounced like Taya. I have been providing pet care personally and professionally since I was in high school. When I started, I genuinely just loved being around animals and wanted a way make an income while doing something I enjoyed. Years later and I still hold the same sentiment. My family and I have always welcomed dogs and cats into our homes and cared for them as additional kids in the household. I took a break from pet care to focus on building myself and my goals, but now as a homeowner of three years, I want to extend my home and services again to your fur babies. I work full-time, 100% remotely from home for a law firm located in Pennsylvania. I am always at home, especially during the weekdays, with my six pets (two dogs and four cats). I have a flexible schedule and can arrange my work day accordingly. I am able to work with you and your pet's needs, so just communicate with me! I have a 0.3 acre fenced yard that my two dogs absolutely love to race around in. They get great exercise out there and are able to release their high energy. I am attuned to my animal's needs and provide a lot of supervision and care since I am usually at home. The same way that I would treat my own pets/home is exactly how I would treat and respect yours. I am reliable, punctual, and compassionate.
About: I love all breeds of dogs. I used to walk my neighbors doggies for fun when I was little. I've house sat for many friends with animals & plants for long periods of time. I've raised many puppies in my life time. I have two of my own that are now 2 and 5. They're everything to me. There's absolutely no better feeling than hearing the pitter patter of their feet on the floor as they're coming to attack me with love and kisses. I've never been without at least one dog in my household as long as I've been alive and I wouldn't have it any other way. I've also played sports my whole life so I love being active and playing games with the pups. I'm currently working part time so my availability is pretty open for the most part right now. I'm mainly unavailable after 4pm on Tuesdays and Fridays. I have two full sized crates at my home and a fenced in back patio with great sun for sunbathing. If I'm in your home, I'll respect your home as if it were mine & make sure the babies get soo much lot of love and attention. Picture/ video updates as often as you'd like. ❤️
About: I am a firm believer that pets are family members and should be treated as such. I grew up always having a dog in the house. I am a very loving and caring person and have always found comfort in having a pet around and taking care of them. I have two dogs of my own and two guinea pigs. They are my world and are very spoiled. I have experience in giving medication or special care as mine require that as well, feeding, bathing, and walking. I work three 12 hour shifts a week and one weekend a month so I have plenty of open opportunities to take care of your fur babies! I am committed into following any certain order or instructions you are willing to give me in taking care of your pet. I am passionate in keeping your animal comfortable in the environment that they know and love.

“Phoebe gets so excited when I say ‘let’s go for a ride’ because she knows this routine may include going to doggy daycare @ The Wolf Pack❤️. She gets to play with her doggie friends and gets quite a workout. A tired dog is a happy good dog. So thankful that we found Rachel! Awesomeness”


About: I am a very responsible dog owner. I have a 5 year old Border Collie named Abby. She loves herding & long walks. I have had over 20 years experience taking care of my own and others pets. I work from home so am available throughout the week Monday - Sunday, my schedule is flexible so I'm able to help out just about anytime. Abby & I enjoy running, walking around the neighborhood and going to our nearest dog park which is 2 blocks away. I have experience taking care of older dogs, a blind dog, and smaller dogs, so I can adapt to whatever needs your dog may have. I would love to get to know you and your furbaby. They will be treated like my own.
“As a new user, I found that Sarah was so helpful in explaining how the app worked and what to expect. My puppy was very relaxed with Sarah and waiting by the door for me when I came to pick him up. I will definitely use the service with Sarah again.”

“I am very pleased Truess met us at the door greeted us with a well warm welcome we chatted for a minute she sent me pictures throughout the day telling me how Sasha was doing. It was a wonderful experience. We will definitely see her again soon. Thank you so much for caring for our baby.”

“I have used Shannon to care for my dogs 4 times now and every time has been great. Shannon is very accommodating and flexible, which I really like because my life is hectic. My dogs seem to love going there, they rush right in as soon as she opens the door. They are always good natured when I pick them up, which tells me that Shannon is treating them right. She sends me pictures throughout their stay and keeps me updated. I plan on using her every time I need a pet sitter. Finding someone reliable and dependable and caring is a real comfort to me when I have to leave my pets.”

“Dexter recently spent a few days with Christina over the holidays. She takes fantastic care of him -- to include an occasional special treat, a fenced in back yard for sunbathing, and quality time on the couch. Christina provides photos of Dexter's day, some of which are good enough for printing and framing. I have no concerns whatsoever about leaving Dexter with her and will definitely do it again. Thank you Christina!”

Joyce maintained good communication and she made sure to give Nina many cuddles and love to make her feel safe while we were away.

About: I have always grown up with pets in my life and love learning all about the different breeds and personalities a dog can have! I love spending time with animals and find that the best parts of my day involve playtime and cuddle time with my pup! I have a large backyard where your dog can play and get their zoomies out along with a dog pool for the warmer days! I have a quiet and calming area in my home for your dog to take a break or a nice long nap as desired. My flexible work from home schedule always ensure that a potty break or midday walk is never missed! When your dog is in my care, they will be loved just like my own! I currently work from home and make my own schedule. I am always available for any pet care that’s needed, including potty breaks, a quick treat, or just to give some belly rubs! Since I work for my laptop, I can work from any part of the house which includes being outside while your dog plays and soaks up the sun. During the weekends, I spend my time playing with my dog, going to the dog park, or cuddling on the couch. If this sounds like something, your dog would enjoy, they would fit right in! I have a partially fenced in backyard with only one side of the yard not being fully fenced. I have a yard steak that can be put in the ground that extends throughout most of the yard so that your dog can feel just as free as if the yard was completely fenced. When my dog is outside, I am either outside with her or watching her from the big windows in my home that face the backyard to always make sure she’s being safe. During the day, the doors are always closed and treats are always put up to avoid any overindulgence or escaping the home when I am unaware.
“Isabella was wonderful with our little Rae and we will definitely be recommending her to friends and family in the St Louis area! Our puppy felt right at home with Isa and we were so thankful to have her while we visited St Louis!”

“TzuYu took great care of my dog! She gave very frequent updates & photos of my dog going on walks and playing with her and her dog. We already booked the next visit.”


About: Hi! I'm an experienced animal caregiver with over three years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, as well as livestock. Working with a variety of animals has taught me how important patience, consistency, and careful observation are when it comes to providing excellent care. I pay close attention to each animal's behavior, appetite, energy levels, and routines so I can quickly notice when something seems different or needs attention. Caring for animals is a daily part of my life. Every day I care for my own animals, so I am used to maintaining feeding schedules, monitoring health and behavior, and making sure animals are safe and comfortable. Because animal care is already a priority in my routine, I can easily incorporate visits, walks, playtime, and check-ins for clients' pets throughout the week. I enjoy building trust with animals and providing reliable care that helps owners feel at ease while they're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow all feeding instructions, ensure fresh water is always available, provide exercise and playtime, clean litter boxes or pick up waste, and give plenty of attention and companionship. I also closely monitor each pet's behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment where pets receive individualized attention, exercise, and affection. I make sure they have a comfortable space to rest and follow any specific instructions provided by their owners regarding feeding, medications, routines, or special needs.

About: I have over 12 years with pet care experiencing, including FFA, private families, shelters, and my own fur babies! I am a kind, compassionate, veteran who loves animals and am dedicated to making their care experience as easy (and fun!) as possible! I have experience with puppies to seniors, medical administration, and dogs with disabilities. I am a disabled veteran who currently does a lot of volunteer work - that being said I am available throughout the week and weekends with atleast 1 day notice :D I start care with making sure the necessities are taking care of, such as food, water, medicine, litter cleaned or potty break/walk.

I love dogs so much and sometimes more than people :o) I have been a paralegal for 17 years. I enjoy being a paralegal but I love animals more. I am trying to earn income doing something I truly love. I will treat your fur babies just like my own. I will make sure they are safe, properly provided for and loved on the whole time.
About: I’ve had animals all my life from seniors to littler of puppies. I’ve been to classes to teach and have taken care of multiple pets through hospice. I’ve raised a hand full of litters and pride myself on a loving and fun home for my animals! I can fit almost any Animal within my schedule and around my other small pup! We go on frequent walks and have play time throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard where pets can safely play, exercise, and enjoy some outdoor time.

About: I work 8-4:30pm Monday through Friday, I can do before work and after work depending on the time and area pretty much always available on weekends feel free to reach out 😃. I have been around animals my whole life. As a child we had three American Bull dogs. I have taken care of animals for friends when they were out of town until they return home. I personally have a dog named Simba, he’s very loving and loves attention. We go on walks and play fetch, he gets spoiled with toys weekly. Pet care fits into my schedule because I can drop in before and after work. Weekends I’m free all through out the day so plenty of time for extra attention! I work from home three days out of the week Monday - Friday and go in twice a week. I follow all owner rules and like to send pictures and videos of their happy fur babies. I care for Simba by taking him potty regularly making sure he has plenty of food and water. We go for walks when the weather lets us.
About: As a pet caregiver, my experience has been both challenging and incredibly rewarding. I have had the pleasure of working with a variety of pets, including cats and dogs and even rabbits. Each pet has its own unique personality and needs, and I make sure to tailor my care to suit each individual animal. From feeding and grooming to providing exercise and playtime, I take pride in providing the highest level of care to ensure that the pets are healthy and happy. One of the most rewarding aspects of my pet care experience is seeing the joy on the pets' faces and the bond that we form over time. I truly believe that pets bring so much love and happiness into our lives, and it is an honor to be able to give back to them through my work. I make sure to follow the pet owner's instructions carefully, so that the pets receive the same level of care and attention they are accustomed to. I love spending time with the pets, playing and cuddling with them, and making sure they feel loved and secure. Seeing the pets happy and healthy when their owners return home is the best reward for a job well done. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I’m already very organized and used to working around animal care schedules. I’m able to provide consistent morning, evening, and check-in visits, and I’m flexible with timing when needed. I plan my week in advance so I can reliably accommodate bookings while still giving each pet my full attention. Since caring for animals is already part of my everyday life, I’m comfortable balancing multiple visits and making sure each pet gets the time, care, and consistency they need. n clients’ homes, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all feeding instructions, stick to their usual schedules, and make sure they always have fresh water, clean litter boxes (for cats), and a tidy environment. I also spend time with them based on their personality—whether that’s playtime, enrichment, or just calm companionship so they feel safe and not alone. I pay close attention to behavior and overall well-being during each visit, and I make sure the home is respected and left just as I found it. My goal is always to reduce stress for both the pet and the owner by providing consistent, attentive care in their familiar environment.
About: I genuinely, whole heartedly love animals. Have worked with animals (grooming, walking, feeding) since 15, work with young & senior also give meds & arthritis massages. Patient, kind, loving and ready to spread my love for animals. Have worked at Kennelwood, No Leash needed, Camp Bow Wow and volunteer at the humane society. All animals deserve love.

I love to go for walks and play so your baby will definitely be stimulated with me around!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and grew up caring for them daily. I’ve raised a puppy and currently have a well-trained dog of my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to calm seniors. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m currently working part-time but am available most days during the week and can be flexible with scheduling as needed for pet care and walks. I prioritize safety and trust in every visit. I follow owner instructions closely, keep dogs on-leash during walks, avoid unsafe situations, and ensure pets are never left unattended. In a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain cleanliness, and make sure pets are comfortable, secure, and cared for the entire time.

I am looking to be doing home visits rather than dog boarding because I am currently living in an apartment and do not have the space needed to provide quality care for your pets. I am willing to do drop in visits and in the past am used to doing that type of care for my clients.
About: I have been providing animal care services to friends and family for years and love it! I prioritize keeping the family pets safe and comfortable. I have spent time with all kinds of dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I know how important family pets are and that's why communication is a top priority. I provide frequent check-ins and photos if requested! :) With several years of experience, I'm a trusted companion for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I offer flexible scheduling, attentive care, and a genuine love for animals! I know every animal and family is unique, so let me know your individual needs and requests and I am happy to accommodate. I am available Monday-Friday and on the weekends! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible; I have client appointments every so often but am available most of the time. I have a fenced in yard and love to stay active so I'm happy to go on plenty of walks with your pup(s)! I am attentive and genuinely love playing with dogs as well as giving them the attention they need to be happy.
About: Hey. My name is Ali, I train dogs and this is a cool way to do what I love! I treat my dogs as if they were mine children & would do the same for anyone’s pet in my care. Making sure they’re comfortable and safe is my top priority. The way pet care fits into my day is regular because I’m taking care of my dogs and others literally all day so it’s a normal routine. My home and yard is dog friendly I’ve been training dogs for 15 years so I have the hang of keeping pets clean an safe.
About: I'm a retired veteran, finally able to do what I truly love which is caring for pets and being around my furry fourlegged friends .

“Adela was awesome! She took great care of my dog Ellie for a few days. She was extremely welcoming and answered any questions I had prior to Ellie’s stay.Her communication skills were on point as well. She put my mind at ease each day by sending updates and lots of pictures :) I think it’s safe to say that my dog really enjoyed her stay. We will def book again with her in the future.”

“Excellent pet sitter! She boarded our puppy for two nights and took great care of her. Our puppy came home happy, healthy, and well-loved. Great communication and a caring environment. Highly recommend!”


“Katie is an awesome sitter! We left our 10 month old puppy with her while he was recovering from being neutered and she took excellent care of him. Followed all his care instructions and sent us update pictures. She was quick to respond to all of our messages and very nice. We loved that she was close to home and when we picked up scooter early she was very accommodating. We will for sure use Katie again and we’re relieved we have found a safe place for our puppy scooter when we are traveling 🙂”

“Our pup did great at Mandi’s! I didn’t have to worry at all because she sent pictures of his day and an update of what he did. She was so sweet to send him home with a personalized bandana and a jar of homemade treats! Definitely recommend!”

“Carmine and Penelope LOVE going to stay with Linda and Dwight! They go bananas when we arrive and run right into the house like they live there. We are forever grateful to have found such kind and compassionate people. Thank you!”


“My puppy had so much with Laura. She sent pictures and updates every day. Laura responds very quickly to inquiries both before and during boarding. I have already booked another stay a few weeks from now. Very pleased with my first time using a dog sitter.”

“Sarah did a wonderful job taking care of my pets. She sent photos of how they were doing and texted me to let me know they were okay after a bad storm passed through. I would highly recommend Sarah.”

“I interviewed three different sitters in their homes before finalizing a sitter, and Raina's kindness and genuine caring for animals stood out above the rest. She sent me regular pictures and videos of my baby throughout my dog's stay. She gave my dog lots of love, attention, and exercise. When she had a question, she immediately texted. I would highly recommend Raina!!”

“Tami is the best!! I knew when I was leaving my little guy with her that he was in EXCELLENT hands. She was excellent at updating me throughout the time I was gone with pictures and texts. She was incredibly careful and attentive with my little guy and I would absolutely recommend her to anybody needing her services!”

“Jamie and Aaron are awesome! They offered a meet-and-greet a few days before our pup's visit, giving us a chance to meet them, their two dogs, and cats. From the moment you meet them, you can tell they really love animals and want to make each of their "guests" feel safe and at home. In fact, I think Row felt so at home at Jamie and Aaron's, he would have been happy to move in! Jamie kept us updated and sent pictures and videos throughout our trip - it was so fun to see him playing with their pups and snuggling in with them on the couch. We'll gladly book another stay with Jamie and Aaron!”

“Cynthia and Robert were amazing! We left our dog with them for an extended vacation. My dog had a lot of anxiety and was very nervous. They spent a ton of time helping my dog settle and feel at home. Highly recommend!”

“We had a great first experience using Rover with Nicole as our pet sitter! Our kitten, Paris, stayed with her for four days and was clearly happy and well cared for when we picked her up. Nicole was attentive, playful with Paris, and made sure she felt right at home. She was also very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire stay. We’re so glad we chose Nicole—definitely a great choice for us!”

“Both our senior dog with medical needs and our younger dog LOVE to visit Christina! They happily walk in when we drop off which is a big change from previous boarding places. So glad we found Christina! It is such a weight off our shoulders when traveling knowing that our dogs are comfortable and in good hands.”


“Erin was so great with our dog, Apollo. This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous, but we were reassured with all of the pictures that Erin sent us during our stay and how happy Apollo was when we picked him up. We would ask Erin to watch Apollo again in a heartbeat!”
“Sarah opened her home to my girls and made them comfortable. They usually go to their granny's but all were going on this trip, so it was a very big deal for them to stay elsewhere. They played, walked, rested, and probably were questioning coming home, they were given so much attention. Sarah shared photos and even with a snowstorm ensured they were safe and had fun. I was very pleased. We will call upon sarah again!”
