“This was our first time leaving Addie with a dog sitter rather than boarding in a facility. Addie had an awesome experience. She was well taken care of and made a new friend. Ashley and her family made Addie feel loved and like she was part of their family. We received daily updates too as promised. I highly recommend Ashley and we will definitely board Addie with her again in the future.”
“Christina took excellent care of our dog, Chance. We got daily updates/photos and felt confident he was in good hands. She was easy to communicate with and the whole process was seamless. We’ll definitely be seeking her out for future stays.”
“Our dog Dobby just finished her first tryout stay with Daniela. It seems like she had a good time and there weren't any big problems. Daniela kept us in the loop and sent lots of pics during the days. Dobby seems pretty happy with her stay, so we are as well. We will definitely be getting in touch with Daniela again for further dog watching.”
“Nila had a wonderful time with Mrs. Amber and her family. Mrs. Amber consistently kept us updated and sent lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend Mrs. Amber to watch your pups!”
“This was my first time needing a sitter and I was pretty nervous about it. I've never had to leave my sweet boy anywhere other than the vet for a day. Carol was very accommodating. She allowed me to see where he would be, answered any questions I had and sent pictures to me to assure me he was ok. I was grateful for that. That helped ease my mind. I would definitely use her again if it should become necessary again. She's awesome!!”
About: My wife and I were lucky to have our dog, Rocco, for 20 wonderful years. After losing him last year, we miss having a dog in our home and are excited to give your pet the same love, attention, and care. We welcome dogs of all ages and have extensive experience caring for senior pets, including those who need a little extra patience and support. We know it can be stressful leaving your dog with someone new, so we prioritize communication and peace of mind. You can expect regular updates, photos, and reassurance that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Your dog will be treated like family while they’re with us. What To Expect: We only take one dog (or family’s dogs) at a time We live in a quiet mostly retired neighborhood. We will ask and follow your dog’s routine closely Medication administration experience Pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine. I work from home most days, so your dog will have consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day. My wife and I plan our schedules to ensure your pet’s needs come first, including regular walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. Because of this, dogs are rarely left alone for extended periods. We also have a quiet, adult-only home in a mostly retired neighborhood, which creates a calm, low-stress environment, especially helpful for senior dogs or those who prefer a more relaxed setting. We enjoy having a dog as part of our day-to-day life, whether that is relaxing at home or getting outside for walks. Our goal is to make your dog’s stay feel as close to their normal routine as possible. We provide care in our home as if your dog were part of our family. Dogs are welcome in our main living spaces and will receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day.

We follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special care needs.

About: While most of my professional experience has been with dogs, I’ve lived with and cared for multiple cats over the years. I understand that every cat has their own unique personality — whether they’re playful and social or more independent and shy — and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable and safe. I’m experienced in providing daily care such as feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving plenty of attention at your cat’s pace. My background working in a dog boarding and daycare facility has also helped me develop strong animal-handling skills, patience, and the ability to read pet behavior and body language. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll care for your cat like they’re my own while keeping you updated so you can feel confident they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Kyla was wonderful with our 2 cats. Her time was flexible and she was easy to book with over Christmas. During our initial meet and greet, the natural way she interacted with both Magik and Spooky, learning her history with animals, and her authenticity put my nerves at ease. During our time away, Kyla kept us up to date on her visits, how our cats were doing and included pictures. When we returned home, both cats were happy doing great. Kyla will be our go to anytime we are away.”
“This is our third time rebooking with Rebecca and she was amazing as always! She really pays attention to minor details to make sure the kitties are perfectly taken care of! As always, I would 100% recommend her!”

The chickens stay inside their chicken run, they don't like dogs or cats anyway. My schedule is pretty open right now, so just let me know when you would like services, and I'll let you know if I'm available. We currently have chickens and one mixed breed dog named "Charlie" who loves all dogs, cats and even the chickens. Your pet would have our undivided attention! We absolutely love dogs and cats.

About: Hi! My name is Gaby and I’m the most genuine animal lover ever. All my life, I have always had pups in my home or worked professionally with them which is why I joined Rover so I could work and do what I love at the same time. I do Rover full time and I don’t have any fur babies of my own at the moment, so I’m able to dedicate all my time and attention to yours 🐾☺️ I've worked at Kennelwood Animal Resort and Y Bark Alone which are daycare/boarding businesses and I absolutely loved it. I was taught how to kennel them properly, administer meds, and how to deal with all types of animal behavior big and small. With this being said, you can always trust your fur babies in my presence. He or she will always be the number one priority and be treated as if they were my own. Lastly, my goal is to build a relationship and longevity with the pup/owner so I can be the first person you think of when looking for a sitter knowing that they’re in great hands. I’m extremely excited to have the pleasure of being apart of Rover and hope to take care of your precious babies soon! Rover is my full time job at the moment so my schedule is very open to give your pet the proper time and attention they deserve. How I care for your fur baby is completely contingent on the owner. I follow all guidelines they have set in place whatever those may be. But you can trust they are always in the best of hands.

I work a couple hours on the weekend but other than that my flexible is 100% any instructions you give me for your dog I will follow. I only want the best for the furry family :) I know leaving your pet can be stressful which is why I make sure to send you a ton of updates/pictures while you are away if wanted!
“This was our first time leaving our baby with anyone other than her grandma and we were very nervous. TeAsia eased our worries and gave us daily updates and photos and videos. It takes Sylvester a little bit to get used to people but she took to TeAsia right away. She seemed well cared for and loved. Overall we were very happy with our experience.”

About: I have been an dog lover since I can remember. With my previous personal experience with family dogs, you can feel at ease leaving your dog with me. I feel at home and happy when I am able to be with and care for all kinds of dogs. I enjoy being active outside but I also enjoy cuddles and playtime. No matter the needs of your dog, I am willing to help! I am a local School Counselor, but want to spend my summer doing something else I enjoy while helping others who need quality care for their fur baby. I am extremely accommodating and willing to help your dog feel comfortable and happy no matter what. I look forward to meeting you and your dog.
About: I've been caring for animals since I was a kid. It’s always been a passion of mine! Over the years, I’ve puppy-sat, dog-sat (up to six dogs at once for one owner!), cat-sat, and even farm-sat a few times. I treat every animal like they're my own. My pets are truly my babies, and my friends lovingly call me “extra” when it comes to how much I dote on them. I even tried to save a baby mouse once, I really do care about every animal I meet! I work in education, which means I have summers, holidays, and Christmas breaks off. I rarely travel because I prefer to stay home with my fur children, so I’m usually available year-round. Availability: Summer (June–Early August): Available daily, any time School Year (Mid August–May): Monday–Friday, Before 6:30 AM & after 4 PM Saturday & Sunday: Usually available all day Holidays & School Breaks: Available all day Pet Care Details: Dogs: I don’t have a fenced yard, but I walk my two dogs on leashes every 2–4 hours for potty breaks. They’re crate trained, but your dog doesn’t need to be. I’m happy to take your pup(s) to the local dog park if they enjoy that, and I offer as much walking as they need! Cats: While I don’t board cats in my home, I offer drop-in visits. I can feed, brush, play, and snuggle with them, whatever makes them feel most comfortable. I currently work only during the school year. So, most holidays, and summers I am off. Most weekends I am available. During the work week I am available before 6:30 am, and after 4:00 pm. At this time I currently only board small animals once I meet them to approve they can get along with my two small dogs. While I am in your home I treat your animals, and house with the utmost care, and respect.
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life—at least five of my own since childhood! I’ve learned how to understand their personalities and needs, and even trained my current dog to be calm and social. My home is cozy, welcoming, and set up for a dog’s comfort and routine. I provide the same love, structure, and attention to every pup I watch, making sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I love starting the day with a morning walk and taking another in the evening to wind down. I’m also available on weekends with at least a week’s notice—perfect for when you need a reliable sitter for your pup. In my home, dogs are treated like family. I have a friendly pup who loves making new friends and keeping other dogs company. There’s a cozy space where pets can relax, nap, or be crated if they need their own quiet time. My fenced yard gives them plenty of room for potty breaks and playtime in a safe environment. If I’m caring for your dog in your home, I’ll follow their normal routines to help them feel secure and loved while you’re away. Whether at your place or mine, I focus on creating a peaceful, happy experience for every pup.
“WOW! August is a natural dog whisperer. When I picked my puppy Penny up it was clear she had played all day as she was calm and extremely well behaved! I really appreciated all the amazing pictures that August sent me of my pup- he played with her extensively and even gave her special treats!! It is very clear that August has a strong compassion for animals and truly loves taking care of them. I hope my pup can stay with August often as I feel very fortunate to have him watching Penny- I really can't say enough good things about him! :)”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was young — I grew up in a family full of dogs and developed a love for caring for animals early on. Over the past four years, I’ve gained hands-on experience dog sitting pets of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs, as well as cats and even chickens! For the past year, I’ve also worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility, where I’ve learned how to safely handle dogs with a wide range of temperaments, energy levels, and needs. This experience has made me confident in reading animal behavior, creating a calm environment, and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. I treat every pet like family and understand how important it is to know your furry friend is in caring, reliable hands. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just a calm companion, I’m happy to provide personalized care that fits their needs! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time in the evenings, which gives me daytime availability to care for pets, provide walks, drop-in visits, and spend quality time with them throughout the week. I’m hoping to dedicate most weekdays to pet care and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, patience, and reliable care while their owners are away. At this time, I’m generally unavailable on weekends due to family obligations, but during the week I’m flexible and committed to providing dependable, loving care for your pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make it my priority to keep their routine as comfortable and stress-free as possible. During drop-in visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime, attention, and plenty of love and companionship. For dog walks, I make sure each dog gets safe, attentive exercise based on their energy level and needs. I understand how important pets are to their families, so I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would want for my own pets. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos while you’re away so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I would treat your dog like I treat my own. I would make sure all their needs are taken care of just like I do my 2. My two babies, both have diabetes, my little girl has Cushing’s disease and is also in renal failure. I know how to do injectable and oral medication. We used to love to go for walks, but since they’ve aged and are not well, we don’t do much of that anymore. They sleep a lot. I would make sure your dog was taken care of and got the required amount of exercise and care while I am Responsible for them. I can only do drop in visits and walks At this time since I have two special-needs dogs I'm currently not working and my time is flexible with notice. I have 2 fur babies at home that I am with 24/7 and they are both spoiled rotten. I love spoiling fur babies. Indoor pets are allowed in our home. My 2 have access to all furniture and prefer our living room couch or our bed. I would only allow dogs that I am with to do what their owners prefer.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized care for each pup I look after. I take the time to get to know your dog’s unique needs, routines, and quirks, ensuring they feel right at home. I offer regular photo and video updates, so you never have to worry about how your pet is doing while you’re away. With a safe, cozy home and a focus on fun and comfort, your dog will feel like part of the family. Whether it’s a walk, a play session, or snuggle time, I tailor everything to your pet’s preferences! I am working from home and part time, so my schedule is flexible as I make my own schedule. I will tailor my schedule to yours. In My Home: I offer a safe, cozy environment with plenty of space for your pet to feel comfortable. While my large yard isn’t fenced in, I ensure that outdoor time is always supervised and safe. Inside, my two shy cats provide gentle company for pets who enjoy calm, quiet companionship. I offer a relaxed and secure atmosphere where pets can roam freely, rest, or have quiet time as they need. I also provide lots of space for your pet to retreat to if they prefer solitude. Whether it’s a play session, a nap in a cozy spot, or simply some peaceful downtime, your pet will always feel at ease. In Your Home: When I care for your pet in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their routine and comfort. I offer drop-in visits to feed, play, and clean up, or take your dog for a walk to ensure they get the exercise and fresh air they need. I understand the importance of a pet’s familiar surroundings, so I make sure they feel safe and secure in their own space. Whether it’s a walk, a play session, or just some cuddle time, I’m here to provide the attention your pet needs while keeping you updated with photos and messages.
About: I have 14 years of dog handling experience. I have participated in my local 4-H dog care and training group for 10 years and local FFA ( Future Farmers of America) chapter for 4 years. Between 4-H and FFA, I have received many awards for my dedication for dog care. Within the years, I have interacted with different temperaments from reactive to calm. I am currently working towards a degree in Animal Health. I currently have an internship at a local farm. I have a weekly routine set up, that does not interfere with my internship; and your dog is able to have the best experience. Taking care of pets require routine, animals thrive with the stability a routine provides. Pets also need enrichment, which can be play sessions, clean areas, attention, and walks. A pet- proof home helps with safety and well- being of the pet.

“This is my first time using Rover for my senior dog and Keena is wonderful. She has always been on time, takes him for the full time booked and Charlie is happy when she brings him back. I will continue to use her.”
“Catelyn stepped in to walk my dog, Princeton Antonio, for a few mornings while our regular walker was away and she made a wonderful impression in such a short time! She was communicative, punctual, and kind, and she treated Princeton with such care and attentiveness. On her last day, she even left a thoughtful thank-you card, which speaks volumes about the kind of person (and professional) she is. Though our time together was brief, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind-hearted dog walker.”
About: Hi! My name is Gaby and I’m the most genuine animal lover ever. All my life, I have always had pups in my home or worked professionally with them which is why I joined Rover so I could work and do what I love at the same time. I do Rover full time and I don’t have any fur babies of my own at the moment, so I’m able to dedicate all my time and attention to yours 🐾☺️ I've worked at Kennelwood Animal Resort and Y Bark Alone which are daycare/boarding businesses and I absolutely loved it. I was taught how to kennel them properly, administer meds, and how to deal with all types of animal behavior big and small. With this being said, you can always trust your fur babies in my presence. He or she will always be the number one priority and be treated as if they were my own. Lastly, my goal is to build a relationship and longevity with the pup/owner so I can be the first person you think of when looking for a sitter knowing that they’re in great hands. I’m extremely excited to have the pleasure of being apart of Rover and hope to take care of your precious babies soon! Rover is my full time job at the moment so my schedule is very open to give your pet the proper time and attention they deserve. How I care for your fur baby is completely contingent on the owner. I follow all guidelines they have set in place whatever those may be. But you can trust they are always in the best of hands.

I work a couple hours on the weekend but other than that my flexible is 100% any instructions you give me for your dog I will follow.

“This was our first time leaving Addie with a dog sitter rather than boarding in a facility. Addie had an awesome experience. She was well taken care of and made a new friend. Ashley and her family made Addie feel loved and like she was part of their family. We received daily updates too as promised. I highly recommend Ashley and we will definitely board Addie with her again in the future.”
“Christina took excellent care of our dog, Chance. We got daily updates/photos and felt confident he was in good hands. She was easy to communicate with and the whole process was seamless. We’ll definitely be seeking her out for future stays.”
“Nila had a wonderful time with Mrs. Amber and her family. Mrs. Amber consistently kept us updated and sent lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend Mrs. Amber to watch your pups!”

I have a fenced in yard and love to take pets on walks throughout town and playing with the pets as well to keep them company.
