“Merry and Tucker love Cato come to Kayla’s home. They out of the car and head directly for the front door. Merry even had a fury friend for the last visit. They played until exhausted. Great time for our high energy girl. Our old boy was able to get plenty of rest. Kayla always ensures Ricker gets her medication. Both come home happy, and relaxed!! Thank you again Kayla”
“Highly recommended! Our 5 month old puppy was so well cared for, and we could tell right away that she felt comfortable and happy. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos—it gave us peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover stay and will definitely be booking again.”
“We brought our dog back to Melissa’s for another weekend stay and our dog was SO excited when we got to her house! I can’t say enough great things about Melissa - she always responds quickly and sends multiple adorable updates/pictures a day, helping me know that my dog is happy and safe. She’s definitely our go-to sitter from now on!”
“Diana is so kind and knowledgeable. My dogs were perfectly at home in her care. She gave us tons of photos, videos, and updates while we were gone and spoiled them with lots of walks. We will definitely book with her every time we travel from now on.”
“We love Hailey! Our dog Hazel had some separation anxiety issues and she worked through them with her, plus made us feel at ease. She also gives needed medications for our pup! Hailey is so patient! ❤️”
“Melanie is amazing! She went above and beyond to look after our fur baby. Very responsive, flexible, great communication, sends updates and pictures at least twice a day. Would 100% recommend her and definitely boarding our dog again when needed.”
“Keandra went above and beyond to make sure my dog had a good time. She also was very flexible with pickup/drop off times which was helpful since I had a flight early in the morning. She also gave my dog a free shower and made sure he got plenty of exercise and play time with her dogs. 100% would recommend Keandra”
“As a first-time Rover user and a nervous dog mom, I was hesitant to leave Banjo with anyone, especially since we just adopted him from a shelter. However, Jenelle completely exceeded my expectations. She was incredibly thoughtful and even suggested a meet-and-greet before the stay to make sure Banjo would be comfortable. She showed such patience and care with him, especially since he’s a shy and nervous dog. Throughout our trip, Jenelle kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which really helped ease my worries. Banjo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had the best time with Jenelle and her own dogs. I think he was a little upset that we were taking him home because he had so much fun!! We’re so grateful for her wonderful care and will absolutely be leaving Banjo with her for all our future trips. Highly recommend!!”
“Deb and her family took wonderful care of our two older small dogs while we were away for over a week. It was a great experience! She made our dogs feel at home right away and was a great communicator. We definitely hope to book with her again in the future!”
About: I have been around dogs of my own and others for my entire 38 years of life. I grew up with having at least 3 dogs at once, then when out on my own for the last 10+ years, have lived with and spoiled at least 2 dogs at a time. I currently have 2 fur kids of my own, who are very loved and spoiled. That same kind of care would translate to any dogs I care for. I'm currently working part time while studying, so I will have plenty of time for your pups! I work 3 varying days a week currently, from about 9am-5pm. A lot of time is spent at home with my own pups, and that would translate to yours. I have a good sized fenced in yard, and can provide a separate space, crating or whatever is needed between your and my dogs! I also keep the back part of my house separate.
“Fantastic! Let us know how our dog was doing all throughout the stay, and was very communicative. Super nice, and couldn’t recommend more. We will for sure use Lola for any future trips with our dog!”
“Sarah was a great dog sitter. She was easy to work with and my dog loved being there. She sent photos and let me know how things were going while we were away. I highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs.”
“I can't recommend Sheila highly enough. She's kind, patient, and cares about dogs! The fenced-in yard is any dog's dream. While my dog was timid and afraid at first, when I picked her up four days later, she was playful, happy, and had bonded with Sheila and her dogs.”
“Justin took great care of Luke and Leo! They were happy and well looked after. We’re very pleased with his service and will definitely use it again. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda always does such a great job at watching our cockapoo! It has been the only place that dog sits that Briggs doesn’t come home with pottying problems afterwards. Her and her kids take such good care of him and are also very flexible with drop off and pickup! We are very pleased and thankful for her!”
“Jennifer was fantastic with our two dogs. She met us prior to watching them to go over care and it was comforting knowing our dogs were in good hands. She is knowledgeable with dog care and you can tell she loves dogs. Someone was always with them during their stay. It's not necessary but I think being in a new home helped them be comfortable. She kept us updated with lots of pictures. They always looked happy and that made us happy. We totally recommend Jennifer if you're looking for a great dog sitter!”

“Emily is wonderful! Our cat was originally a stray so she is timid with others but based on the videos I think she is really warming up to Emily! Emily does a great job and we have used her services several times now. It feels so good knowing we can rely on her to check on our cat when we go out of town.”
“Samantha did a great job! She showed up on time and did a great job with Ranger! Shes definitely a Animal lover and look forward knowing when I need her, ranger will be in good hands!”
“Aubrey was available on short notice and did a great job taking care of our cat. She was attentive to his habits and notified us when something deviated from normal so that we could take action to put things back on track. I hope Aubrey will be available to care for our cat again!”
“Melissa was the best caretaker for our dog while we were out of town. She took him on a walk and played fetch with him every day. We received a very thorough update on how he was doing and several pictures each day. We could tell he was having a great time. We were able to meet her in person before we left and our dog took to her immediately. She was very accommodating and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend Melissa if you are in need of a dog sitter.”
About: I have been around animals my whole life, and I have done dog and cat sitting a few times over the years for neighbors or friends. I’ve had cats and dogs in my home since 2014, and I am very comfortable around both. I currently have a full time job; I work primarily in the mornings with evening shifts thrown in here and there. I don’t do much outside of that, so I am pretty available otherwise. I want to keep all pets feeling comfortable, following their routines/schedule, and keeping them company (within their boundaries). I no longer live with my cats and miss them greatly, so I will make sure they receive extra attention, pets, and playtime (within their boundaries).
“Edward seems to have loved his visits from Jennifer! He was happy when we got home and the pictures from his visit were adorable. He got his favorite belly rubs! I will definitely reach out to Jennifer in the future and would recommend her and Jean to anyone needing care for their pet. They even brought in our packages which was extra nice. We are glad to have met Jennifer and Jean through rover! We really enjoyed and appreciated meeting them before the visits too.”
“Fantastic. I forgot to book the last day and she kindly reminded me that it wasn't booked so that she could help us with care before we return home. Our fur babies loved her presence and she didn't waste any time to ensure they had some fun playtime together. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish from the ripe age of 10! I have had animals from the size of teacup yorkies to the size of Rottweilers so size doesn’t challenge me. I currently work full time Sunday-Wednesday and find myself with a lot of free time the rest of the week so I’d love to get to play and help with your best friend as much as I’m able to get I am able to follow all the rules you provide with your best friend and am able to accommodate with any requests to keep you stress free!
“Olivia was on time with visits, considerate with daily updates/pictures and very caring with my cats! She made me feel comfortable leaving them, knowing they were in such good hands. Olivia did everything asked and was quick to respond to messages. I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
About: Veterinary Technician and cat enthusiast, I would love to help provide enrichment for your purrfect pal while you're busy or away! Whether young or old, all cats deserve a little play time!
“Thank you so much Kelly! My husband and I had a worry free weekend away knowing our dogs were well taken care of with Kelly. She went above and beyond for our girls and seeing pictures and getting updates was amazing!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover since I can remember! Growing up with cats and dogs, volunteering with rescue organizations, fostering, and pet sitting/walking for 20+ years (since I was a kid!) I’ve developed a skill set to care for beloved furry family members - from cats and puppies to large reactive dogs I’m here to help with your pet sitting/walk-in needs! I’m a graduate student and work part-time at a gym, so I have a flexible schedule to accommodate your needs. Potty break in the middle of a week day? I can help! Need someone to check in on your dog over the weekend? I’ll walk and hang out with your pup between studying! I’m also centrally located just west of downtown Denver and am willing to travel in any direction to help with your furry friend! Given the other people and animals in my home, I prefer to take care of your pet at your home - where they’re most comfortable! I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life so I understand the care and caution needed when opening doors or walking your pet on a busy street. Additionally, I have two rescue dogs myself and have worked with rescue organizations so I understand the dog that can’t be approached by strangers or needs some of extra support navigating the world.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover since I was little. Throughout college I have done all sorts of pet/house sitting for friends, family, coworkers etc. I have house sat for a family friend that required feeding and watering horses, milking goats, reptile care, rabbit cleaning care, medicating cats/dogs if needed, you name it. I currently have a Corn Snake, a Western Plains Hognose Snake as well as a Crested Gecko. I have been a Veterinary Receptionist for over 5 and a half years now. I was also an Animal Keeper for about a year with native Illinois Wildlife (including black bears, cougars & bobcats). I am currently transitioning to being a Veterinary Assistant so I am gaining new skills weekly! Currently working a max of 30 hours at my day job as a Veterinary Assistant but recently have been working less. Typically I have Sundays and Wednesdays off during the week but sometimes get another random week day off depending on how busy we are at the clinic. My shifts can vary from 8am to 2pm; 8am to 4pm; 9am to 3pm; 9am to 5pm or even 8am to 6:30pm. The earlier I’m off during the day I am able to help after that too. Your home is their home. I will cater to your pet based on what they like or need. If they just need someone to keep them company I’m there. I will treat your space with respect and follow any instructions given. My pets are family and are treated as such so the same would go for your kiddos.
“Theodore is the best pet sitter. We have cats with some ridiculous idiosyncrasies and he just goes with the flow. The cats are always well taken care of, energetic, and happy when we return home. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been taking care of various sized animals for the past several years. I am comfortable giving medications if need be and following any special instructions you may have for your four-legged babies! I am currently in college classes full time Monday-Thursday, however after 1pm I am fully available! This is not a hindrance at all when caring for your pets in your home. I prefer to stay in your home if watching your animals for an extended period of time, but if you are not comfortable with that I certainly understand and am happy to visit your house throughout the day as needed to attend to your furry loved ones!

About: Hi! I'm Ava, a lifelong dog lover with 10+ years of experience caring for pups of all breeds, sizes and personalities. Whether it's energetic playtime, relaxing walks, or cozy cuddle sessions, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy and loved while their humans are away. I work from home, which allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. Your dog won't be left alone for long periods and will get consistent potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I provide loving, attentive care in our home. I work from home, so pets receive plenty of supervision potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day.
About: Finding the right sitter matters — especially when your dog needs more than just a walk and a bowl refill. That’s where I come in. I have over 15 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs and behaviorally challenging cases, I’ve cared for and handled dogs with a wide range of needs. My background includes extensive volunteer work at animal shelters, where I gained valuable experience reading canine body language, managing stress, and working safely with dogs that require extra patience and structure. In 2021, I earned my Certified Dog Trainer credential through Animal Behavior College, and I continue my education through Leerburg University, focusing on canine behavior, handling, and communication. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach — every dog is different, and I tailor my care to what helps your dog feel safe, calm, and confident. If you’ve been told your dog is “too difficult” or “too much” for most sitters, I encourage you to reach out. I have experience with reactive, anxious, high-drive, and medically complex dogs, including administering medications and injections when needed. My goal is not just to watch your dog, but to advocate for them while you’re away. For safety and individualized care, I only accept one family of dogs at a time. This allows me to focus fully on your dog’s routine, comfort, and well-being — no overcrowding, no chaos. I’d love to schedule a meet & greet so we can make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. You’ll leave knowing your dog is in capable, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring hands. Thanks for stopping by my profile — I look forward to meeting you and your best friend soon. I'm hoping to make canine boarding/training my new job. I still work full time in a hybrid remote role. I will only accept boarding reservations where I know I will be home. I prefer to exercise dogs by walking them, but will do anything to keep your friends on their own routine. Anything you can share with me about your dogs preferred routine will help me keep their schedule as normal as possible.
About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with daily walks, bathing, brushing, enrichment play, and maintaining consistent routines. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I adapt my care to meet their individual needs — whether they’re energetic, shy, young, or senior. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment you can trust. I am a stay at home mom and my husband works from home Monday through Friday, allowing us to provide consistent supervision and care throughout the week. We also have a 10-month-old baby in our home, so we maintain a calm, structured environment. Pets staying with us should be comfortable around infants and gentle in nature. Your pet will receive regular potty breaks, attention, and companionship throughout the day. We have a fenced in yard for outdoor time. All outdoor time is fully supervised. We provide frequent potty breaks and maintain a calm, structured, pet-friendly home. Safety is our top priority, and we treat every pet like part of our family. We’re happy to provide updates and photos during their stay for your peace of mind. 🐾Booking & Care Details🐾 Boarding is based on 24-hour care beginning at your scheduled drop-off time. Rover automatically applies extended care charges for late pick-ups beyond that window, so accurate timing is important when booking. Holiday rates apply to major travel dates. Puppies and additional dogs are charged at adjusted rates due to the increased supervision required. For longer stays or work-travel bookings, I’m happy to discuss customized arrangements. 🐾 Meet & Greet Policy🐾 A meet and greet is required for all new clients prior to confirming a boarding stay. This ensures your dog is comfortable in our home environment and is a safe fit around children and other animals. Meet and greets allow us to review routines, temperament, and expectations so your pet’s stay is smooth and stress-free.
“Penny had THE best time. She made friends with a kitten. ❤️ Amanda is sweet, welcoming and clearly loves animals. Throughout the day I received pictures which brought me enormous relief from my anxiety which was unwarranted. We will certainly be back for not just a vacation already booked with Amanda, but daycare says as well. Thanks Amanda for loving our Penny like we do and welcoming her into your home!”
“We arrived and Khanh was ready to take on Gracie Mae. We set up her things in a back room as she had another bigger dog in the front, made us feel safe. Gracie Mae was fed and watered. When I arrived all of Gracie Mae items were packed up and ready to go. Gracie Mae must of had a fun time, she was sleepy and took a rest on the way home. Thank you Khanh.”
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat pets as members of the family, not just animals I’m watching. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, including shy or nervous dogs who need extra patience to build trust. I’m attentive to details, follow routines closely, and understand how important consistency is for a pet’s comfort and well-being. Because I care for my own dogs daily, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels and communicating concerns promptly. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also respecting each pet’s individual needs and boundaries. My goal is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owners are away, and for owners to have peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving personalized care. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have two dogs, so I’m used to feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, monitoring behavior, and making sure they get plenty of attention throughout the day. I also stay on top of things like cleaning up after them, maintaining their routine, and watching for any signs that something might be off. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so fitting pet care into my day feels very natural. In my home, pets are treated like family. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and playtime. I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment where pets receive plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. I closely monitor their behavior, appetite, and energy levels and will follow any instructions regarding medications, dietary needs, or special care. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while they are in my care.
“Lovely people. Very friendly and accommodating. We bring two dogs and it’s always a great experience. Easy to do business with and has great communication also. Thanks. Kevin”
“Rachelle was wonderfully attentive and extremely helpful when our family needed help with Levi. She accommodated his needs and understood our scheduling needs. Her home and pups were extremely welcoming and Levi had a delightful day being loved and cared for by Rachelle and playing with her pack!”

“Peggy is exactly the person you want taking care of your pets. She is patient, relaxed, and full of love!

“Katie is WONDERFUL!! Wags, my overweight beagle (who lets me live there with my cat Top!) is already showing signs of having more energy. When I come home, he is bouncing up and down to meet me. It has been a while since he had this energy; I know it’s ALL because of Katie walking Wags! Besides this, Wag’s loves Katie and didn’t give me a second look when she came for him!!!♥️♥️”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover since I was little. Throughout college I have done all sorts of pet/house sitting for friends, family, coworkers etc. I have house sat for a family friend that required feeding and watering horses, milking goats, reptile care, rabbit cleaning care, medicating cats/dogs if needed, you name it. I currently have a Corn Snake, a Western Plains Hognose Snake as well as a Crested Gecko. I have been a Veterinary Receptionist for over 5 and a half years now. I was also an Animal Keeper for about a year with native Illinois Wildlife (including black bears, cougars & bobcats). I am currently transitioning to being a Veterinary Assistant so I am gaining new skills weekly! Currently working a max of 30 hours at my day job as a Veterinary Assistant but recently have been working less. Typically I have Sundays and Wednesdays off during the week but sometimes get another random week day off depending on how busy we are at the clinic. My shifts can vary from 8am to 2pm; 8am to 4pm; 9am to 3pm; 9am to 5pm or even 8am to 6:30pm. The earlier I’m off during the day I am able to help after that too. Your home is their home. I will cater to your pet based on what they like or need. If they just need someone to keep them company I’m there. I will treat your space with respect and follow any instructions given. My pets are family and are treated as such so the same would go for your kiddos.
About: My love for animals runs deep in my core! I can get along with any type of critter, and am very willing to taking care of pets who may have special needs. I’ve grown up in a household that has at least 3 pets at a time in it, and I used to work on a warm with tons of different animals! I’m very lucky to have so many pets in my life b Pet care is something I do on the daily, considering that I have 4 dogs at my house, all of which possessing their own quirks and personality traits. Taking the pets out, feeding the pets, and just spending quality time with them is a regular part of my routine. I care for pets very attentively, making sure to feed them at the desired time, play with them as need be, and take them on walks when/where they need to go!
About: I am looking to make some extra money doing something I love - spending time with doggos! I adore all dogs and will give yours extra pets, loves, and attention. I know your pup is your best friend and a VIP member of your family. With me they are safe, loved, and living their best life! I have my own fur baby, Luna and she is my world. It’s hard to let someone else care for her so I understand any hesitancy when finding someone new to care for your dog. I’ll treat your pup like my own. I am a dog aunt to two pugs, a Chinese crested, and a Boston terrier/pug mix. I have never met a dog I didn't love. Let me love your fur baby too because we all know they could never get too much! I have volunteered at The Humane Society of Central Illinois and with senior pet therapy through Chicago Cares. I also have my masters degree in Applied Behavior Analysis. My availability does vary day by day. I am free some mornings, some afternoons, and some evenings. I have the time to walk or care for dogs daily M-F and sometimes on weekends. I have a flexible schedule since I work for myself. I will give your dog a lot of pets and attention. I will treat your pet like my own. Your dog will be happy to have made a new friend. I’ll also play with them, do tricks with them, give them a treat (if allowed). Anything to make them happy!
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience taking care of my own dogs every day. I have two friendly dogs, Bailey (a Husky/Aussie mix) and Berkley (a Bernedoodle), so I’m used to dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I know every dog is different, so I’ll follow your routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog wants to play, go for a walk, or just relax and get some attention. I’m currently a part-time college student and also DoorDash for extra income, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m available most weekdays starting at noon or earlier, and I can often accommodate weekend requests as well. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and care while they’re with me. I’ll always communicate with you and send updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. pet safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get exercise. I also have two friendly dogs, Bailey (a Husky/Australian Shepherd mix) and Berkley (a Bernedoodle), who love meeting and playing with other dogs. If your dog prefers their own space or needs a slower introduction, I’m happy to keep them separated to ensure everyone stays comfortable and safe. I’ll treat your pet like they’re part of my own family! I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, routines, or special care. :)
About: I have been in the veterinary/boarding field for about 8 years. So I have experience working with all sorts of animals (different sizes, ages, and behavior). I can administer any medicines comfortably. I have taken care of cats, dogs, rabbits, small pets (Guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets, etc.), birds, fish, farm animals (goats, chickens, ect.) and frogs. I am also comfortable doing baths, nail trims, and teeth brushing if interested. I currently have three cats and two chihuahuas. I have always loved animals and I am eager to meet so many new clients and their pets! This is a dream of mine and so glad it is becoming a reality. I would also love it if you could leave a review, so I can make sure you were satisfied or if there was something I could work on or improve. Thanks! I currently work Monday and Wed. 7:30 to 5 and Friday 7:30 to 3. So I am off Thursdays, Tuesdays and the weekends! My husband also works 3rd shift so he can help out during the day as well. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of space for running around! I like to have open communication between clients so they feel at ease with their fur babies being taken care of.
About: Through out my life I've had several different furry friends (and fish!). I have worked with all kinds of animals from ones that love to run and play to ones that would prefer to lounge around all day! I have several years of experience as a professional pet sitter, as well as having pets of my own. I can't wait to meet your babies! 😊❤️ I am currently a stay at home mom looking to make some pocket money while doing something I love! I'll have plenty of time to look after your lovely animal babies! Most of the times, short term stays or quick check-ins work best for me, but I am open to talks regarding longer stays. I am a strong believer in spending as much time with pets as possible, so I plan to enact that with your fur babies as well. I will send you pictures of your fur baby on walks or lounging on the couch with small updates.
“Did a great job with my 9 month old puppy! For her dog, walking service, took him on a nice walks, and was able to recognize when he was getting tired to give him a break. It was very attentive to his cues. Christina also provided lots of photos and detailed daily updates about how Bubs was doing. I would absolutely let her care for him again!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant at my family’s veterinary clinic for the past 9 years, where I’ve helped care for dogs and cats with all kinds of personalities, ages, and medical needs. Through my work at the clinic, I’ve become comfortable and skilled at administering medications and assisting with medical care, so I can confidently care for pets who may need a little extra attention. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, and the overall well being of your furry best friend. Outside of the clinic, I’ve raised multiple litters of rescue kittens, care for our clinic cats on weekends, and currently have three rescue cats and a dog of my own. Caring for animals isn’t just a job to me, it’s something I genuinely love! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll treat them with the same patience, attention, and affection that I give my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away 💕 My schedule is flexible and varies throughout the month. I serve in the Navy Reserve and occasionally work at my family’s veterinary clinic when they need extra help, but outside of those commitments I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I keep my availability updated and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. When caring for your pet, they will have my full attention, and you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages! Working in a veterinary clinic has taught me how important it is to pay attention to the little things. I closely follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests, and I’m always keeping an eye on your pet’s comfort and well being. I will make your pet feel safe, loved, and as relaxed as possible when you’re away, while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands!
About: I’ve been an animal lover since I can remember! Growing up with cats and dogs, volunteering with rescue organizations, fostering, and pet sitting/walking for 20+ years (since I was a kid!) I’ve developed a skill set to care for beloved furry family members - from cats and puppies to large reactive dogs I’m here to help with your pet sitting/walk-in needs! I’m a graduate student and work part-time at a gym, so I have a flexible schedule to accommodate your needs. Potty break in the middle of a week day? I can help! Need someone to check in on your dog over the weekend? I’ll walk and hang out with your pup between studying! I’m also centrally located just west of downtown Denver and am willing to travel in any direction to help with your furry friend! Given the other people and animals in my home, I prefer to take care of your pet at your home - where they’re most comfortable! I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life so I understand the care and caution needed when opening doors or walking your pet on a busy street. Additionally, I have two rescue dogs myself and have worked with rescue organizations so I understand the dog that can’t be approached by strangers or needs some of extra support navigating the world.
About: I have cared for dogs for over 25 years. I started pet sitting at 10 years old. Your pet will be truly loved and cared for with me in my home. I only work during the school year. I am off over the summer. I am home and able to care for your pet 24/7. I can also come to your home and even stay overnight with your pets. I spend a lot of time with them, and give them many cuddles, and even allow your dogs to sleep with me, if that is what you do at your home. Your dog will truly be loved and cared for with me. I also am really well trained at giving dogs medications if needed. I am able to care for cats, but I am not able to care for them in my home. I am able to come to your home and care for your kittens, or cats. I can also administer medications to cats. I have experience with birds. If you have any type of bird living in your home, I can come to your home and care for them, feed them, give them fresh water. I work three hours a day. I work from 7am to 9:30am, then I am free the entire day. If I pick up extra shifts, it's only an hour and a half long. I will be available all day, and also available on the weekends anytime. We have a fenced in yard for our dog Emmy, and if your dog comes to stay, they will be safe in the backyard, and will also be monitored by me while they're in the backyard. There is always someone home, so your dogs will never be lonely. Emmy LOVES to cuddle, and will play with your pet and make them feel welcome. Any dog that comes to my home, I separate dogs for feeding time, so there are no boundary issues. Your dog will be very loved here, and very safe with us. We do allow dogs onto furniture, and they are allowed on our bed, since Emmy sleeps with us at night. If you allow that with your dog, they are welcome to sleep with us and allowed on our furniture. I will follow whatever instructions you may have for your dogs.
About: Hi, my name is Justine! I have grown up with dogs and have a lot of experience house sitting, walking and caring for dogs of all sizes. I have experience house-sitting for puppies through senior dogs. I have grown up with dogs in my home from a very young age. I understand the anxiety of having to leave your pet for too long or not wanting to board them, so I enjoy helping people not have to worry about that. Let me know how I can help! I currently work-time. I have a hybrid schedule, so I work from home 2 days a week and in office the other 3. I am available mornings, nights, and mid-day when I am working from home. I prefer to watch dogs in their own home setting. This allows them to remain comfortable and not be stressed by a new environment. This way they can also remain as close to their usual schedules as possible.

“Merry and Tucker love Cato come to Kayla’s home. They out of the car and head directly for the front door. Merry even had a fury friend for the last visit. They played until exhausted. Great time for our high energy girl. Our old boy was able to get plenty of rest. Kayla always ensures Ricker gets her medication. Both come home happy, and relaxed!! Thank you again Kayla”
“Diana is so kind and knowledgeable. My dogs were perfectly at home in her care. She gave us tons of photos, videos, and updates while we were gone and spoiled them with lots of walks. We will definitely book with her every time we travel from now on.”
“We love Hailey! Our dog Hazel had some separation anxiety issues and she worked through them with her, plus made us feel at ease. She also gives needed medications for our pup! Hailey is so patient! ❤️”
“Melanie is amazing! She went above and beyond to look after our fur baby. Very responsive, flexible, great communication, sends updates and pictures at least twice a day. Would 100% recommend her and definitely boarding our dog again when needed.”
“Keandra went above and beyond to make sure my dog had a good time. She also was very flexible with pickup/drop off times which was helpful since I had a flight early in the morning. She also gave my dog a free shower and made sure he got plenty of exercise and play time with her dogs. 100% would recommend Keandra”
“As a first-time Rover user and a nervous dog mom, I was hesitant to leave Banjo with anyone, especially since we just adopted him from a shelter. However, Jenelle completely exceeded my expectations. She was incredibly thoughtful and even suggested a meet-and-greet before the stay to make sure Banjo would be comfortable. She showed such patience and care with him, especially since he’s a shy and nervous dog. Throughout our trip, Jenelle kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which really helped ease my worries. Banjo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had the best time with Jenelle and her own dogs. I think he was a little upset that we were taking him home because he had so much fun!! We’re so grateful for her wonderful care and will absolutely be leaving Banjo with her for all our future trips. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have been around dogs of my own and others for my entire 38 years of life. I grew up with having at least 3 dogs at once, then when out on my own for the last 10+ years, have lived with and spoiled at least 2 dogs at a time. I currently have 2 fur kids of my own, who are very loved and spoiled. That same kind of care would translate to any dogs I care for. I'm currently working part time while studying, so I will have plenty of time for your pups! I work 3 varying days a week currently, from about 9am-5pm. A lot of time is spent at home with my own pups, and that would translate to yours. I have a good sized fenced in yard, and can provide a separate space, crating or whatever is needed between your and my dogs! I also keep the back part of my house separate.
“Fantastic! Let us know how our dog was doing all throughout the stay, and was very communicative. Super nice, and couldn’t recommend more. We will for sure use Lola for any future trips with our dog!”
“Sarah was a great dog sitter. She was easy to work with and my dog loved being there. She sent photos and let me know how things were going while we were away. I highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs.”
“I can't recommend Sheila highly enough. She's kind, patient, and cares about dogs! The fenced-in yard is any dog's dream. While my dog was timid and afraid at first, when I picked her up four days later, she was playful, happy, and had bonded with Sheila and her dogs.”
“Justin took great care of Luke and Leo! They were happy and well looked after. We’re very pleased with his service and will definitely use it again. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda always does such a great job at watching our cockapoo! It has been the only place that dog sits that Briggs doesn’t come home with pottying problems afterwards. Her and her kids take such good care of him and are also very flexible with drop off and pickup! We are very pleased and thankful for her!”
“Jennifer was fantastic with our two dogs. She met us prior to watching them to go over care and it was comforting knowing our dogs were in good hands. She is knowledgeable with dog care and you can tell she loves dogs. Someone was always with them during their stay. It's not necessary but I think being in a new home helped them be comfortable. She kept us updated with lots of pictures. They always looked happy and that made us happy. We totally recommend Jennifer if you're looking for a great dog sitter!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleanup, and administering basic medications when needed. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs and personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their happiness, safety, and well-being. I work full time for USPS as a mail carrier. I have two days off each week. I’m always off Sundays. Once I’m off work usually around 5/6pm I’m free! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment in my home, free of hazards and closely supervised at all times. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special requirements. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine to help them feel secure and stress-free. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure and I provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and genuine care, and I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet—and your home—in someone else’s hands. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and dependable experience for both you and your pet.
“Julianne (and Luxe!) are always just super and caring hosts. Our dog has a super time whenever she stays with them, and we get lots of adorable photos that show us their adventures!”
“Brittany was amazing! Her and her husband took very good care of our pup! I was impressed with her professionalism and kindness! We received lots of great pictures and videos and updates about our dog, and we really appreciated that! I would highly recommend her for all types of dogs as she has pet sitting in many different breeds!”
“Faith did an excellent job taking care of my two dogs! She gave frequent updates and provided many pictures of them having a fun time. She offered some job observations of their behaviors and provided constructive recommendations. I plan on utilizing her again for dog sitting services.”
“Marley was a little nervous for the first night and had an upset stomach but Amber promptly told me and it was all taken care of and she enjoyed the rest of the weekend.”
“If I could give more stars I would! Chelsey and her family were great with Linus! She sent me pictures and updates daily. We had to leave town early due to bad weather and she was willing to accommodate with an early drop off! On pickup, she gave Linus a sweet little note with a bag of treats. How sweet! Linus whined when he left her house! Chelsey really went above and beyond and I felt so comfortable leaving my furry family member with her and her fam. Thanks Chelsey!”
