Alyssa was very nice and took care of our high energy husky mix (Jayda) while we were away. This was the first time having someone watch her other than my sister (who was the foster mom we got her from). Alyssa had several playmates that Jayda got along with and got to play a lot. She also found some new treats for us to try with Jayda. We got Jayda home and she seems tuckered out. Which is good. :-)

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

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.

Absolutely the best! Sara took such good care of my two cats throughout the holidays, enough to where my shy kitty even came out on her own within the week period. Sara was so responsive and kept me in the loop about my cats, along with catering to their special diets. I can't stress enough how wonderful she is - if you want someone who will take care of your pets like her own, look no further.

About: Hi! Hablo inglés y español. I work part time and spend the rest of the time adventuring with my toddler. I'm looking to spend time with and care for dogs, and as a former dog owner I know how hard it can be to find a good sitter. After I spent 3 years caring for a dog with a chronic illness, I am accustomed to all sorts of needs and am happy to accommodate them. I have also lived with and cared for a senior dog and I can work with dogs of all ages. I will only take one dog at a time, unless they are from the same family. I have a small yard and good neighborhood for walks, so can be active with your dog or let them spend the day sitting on my lap! Let me know if you have any questions! I work part time in the community. Since I make my own schedule, I can be flexible to accommodate your dog’s needs! My toddler also loves dogs. I have a yard and a home with plenty of space for dogs to roam. Dogs will be monitored at all times and all medicines, cleaning supplies, etc. are safely stored. If your dog uses a crate, that is also welcome but not necessary. I will only take one dog at a time.

About: Hi, I’m Rina! I have hands-on experience caring for cats with all kinds of personalities—from playful and curious to shy and independent. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, brushing, and giving cats the space they need to feel safe and relaxed. I understand that cats thrive on routine and familiarity, so I follow care instructions closely and pay attention to their individual cues. Whether your cat loves interactive play or quiet companionship, I make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away.

Emily took such great care of our two cats while we were out of town for two weeks. Once again we received detailed updates and lots of photos after every visit. At our request Emily was even happy to turn on their favorite YouTube channel for relaxing music each day lol and really took extra care to make them comfortable in the 2nd week by spraying calming spray on some of their blankets, hiding treats for a fun game of hide and seek and she even watered our cat grass plants! Our cats, Elliot and Emily were in great spirits when we returned, not at all freaked out or anxious and so content and happy to see us! Emily always provides them with enough companionship, playtime, and lots and lots of pets and attention. This is evident in the Report Card for every visit which included the most adorable photos of all time and even a video which clearly showed just how much our cats already love her! We always have peace of mind knowing that Emily is providing care for our fur babies and we know just how lucky we are to have found someone so caring who loves what they do! Thank you SO much Emily!! 🥰🫶

About: I’ve always loved animals and always treated other peoples pets as if they were mine. I’ve always felt guilty if I didn’t have time to give as much time and attention to a pet as I should. I’m available quite often. I am most available all day Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday. But still available sometimes on other days. I take some online courses and help my dad at his workshop so my schedule is relatively flexible. I live in a Townhouse so I don’t have a yard. But my cat loves it when I open the window with the screen so he can look outside. My neighborhood is pet friendly for dog walks. And I have a water fountain designed for pets.

I am quite experienced with dogs with behavioral issues. If our schedules work out and I can help you help your kiddo I’m more than happy to. I work full time as a dog groomer. So my schedule for drop in’s/walks. Looks like a walk in the AM before work. So anytime guaranteed before 8:30 and anytime guaranteed after 4:30. If the distance to your home is within a reasonable distance from my job I can typically do a walk within my shift as well. Mondays and Tuesday’s I’m off all day and can come at any time. I treat every animals as if they are my own. Which I do see my pet families/clients as an extension of mine. They are apart of my life and I give care that brings them back. For that I can’t be more grateful.

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: Hi! My name is Stephanie, and my husband, three kids (3, 7, and 10) and I are so excited to love your dog while you’re away! A Roof for Ruffs is the brainchild of our 10yo daughter. We are a foster family for a local dog rescue organization where we take in one or two dogs at a time until they can find their forever homes. We’re having so much fun with fostering that our sweet girl suggested we take on paying clients between our fosters, and donate some of the proceeds to the same local dog rescue organization. ♥️ I’ve owned dogs my whole life. Between fostering, petsitting for family, neighbors and friends, and caring for my own pups, I have experience with all ages—from very young puppies to seniors and everything in between; small and large breeds; well-behaved and questionable; medical cases, and even the occasional cat. 😱 Your dog’s vacay siblings for their stay will include a 2yo female Great pyr/St. Bernard rescue pup, and two 4yo guinea pigs. We are so very excited to meet your dog, and to treat them like family for their stay. My husband works full time, but I am a freelance writer with flexible hours working from home while caring for our three kids. In other words: your pup won’t be left alone often! 😆 **Please note: all pets must have proof of updated vaccines and be okay with kids (they will be loved on and spoiled by our kiddos while they’re here!) I am home daily with my kids, so lots of potty breaks and playtime is possible throughout the day. We are available most weekdays or weekends unless blocked while we have a foster or for travel. We have a 4-foot aluminum fence in the backyard and live on a public park with a walking trail for easy exercise options. We have extra dog crates here if your pup is crate-trained or feel free to bring your own.

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.

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: Greetings! My name is Parker Troxell I currently work as a registered nurse at OSF. Pet sitting is my passion when not taking care of my patients! I always strive to meet the unique needs of my clients, no matter what they may be. With a background in the medical field and a bright, loving personality, I connect easily with all types of animals. I understand that my rates may be a bit higher than some other sitters, but I offer a calm, safe, and personalized environment for your pets. When I care for pets in my home, there are no other animals or children present, so your pet will have a peaceful stay without added stress or risk of accidents. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pets and home are in trustworthy hands. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to hear from you! Client home care will consist of whatever the client specifically desires. We can do play time, potty time, walks, or any other service they may need. The safety and well-being of your pet are my top priorities. I deeply respect your pet care preferences and needs, ensuring they receive the love, time, and attention they deserve. Your pet will always be in caring and capable hands with me.

About: I've watched dogs and cats of friends, family and strangers on and off for the past 10 years. I have experienced with small to XL dogs, young and older! I’m a stay at home mom. Our boys are rarely home alone for more than a couple hours at a time, a couple days a week. I have a fenced yard and two boys that are ready to play. They have unlimited access to the yard, toys and water. We have a cat who is very friendly, but will most likely keep to himself.

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.

About: I used to volunteer at an animal shelter, and I learned how to attentively take instructions when it came to the care of an animal. I have dealt with dogs and cats that have digestive issues, as well as knowing my way around taking care of (oral) medication. I am also used to dogs or cats that need daily exercise or some that are very energetic and need a lot of attention. Before moving to New Mexico, I had two dogs, and I was always keen on keeping them safe + well taken care of, but most importantly, checking that they were always happy and healthy. And I would be honored to take care of your pet in the same manner. Because I am searching for work, all of my time is dedicated to Rover at the moment. I am available every day of the week. I have a two bedroom apartment and two cats, so I cannot board any fur babies in my home unless you are absolutely sure they are okay around cats. On the other hand, I can guarantee that I will keep an eye on any pets I take care of in a client's home, as well as provide updates based on your preference!

About: I had dogs my whole childhood, and have had cats in adulthood. As a kid, I loved caring for and training our dogs, both basic commands and some fun tricks! I was responsible for letting them out when they needed, feeding them on time, playing with them, and taking them on walks. I wanted to be a dog trainer for years, and had a training manual I would study to know all the right actions and reactions for different situations and behaviors. I can't say I remember many specifics for training, but I definitely have plenty experience in basic care and play. As of right now, I am available all day on Sundays, and until 2pm all other days— perfect for midday walks or drop-ins while you're at work! I can provide basic care for both cats and dogs in their homes. I will feed, play, cuddle, walk, and even clean up after if necessary.

About: Hi! Hablo inglés y español. I work part time and spend the rest of the time adventuring with my toddler. I'm looking to spend time with and care for dogs, and as a former dog owner I know how hard it can be to find a good sitter. After I spent 3 years caring for a dog with a chronic illness, I am accustomed to all sorts of needs and am happy to accommodate them. I have also lived with and cared for a senior dog and I can work with dogs of all ages. I will only take one dog at a time, unless they are from the same family. I have a small yard and good neighborhood for walks, so can be active with your dog or let them spend the day sitting on my lap! Let me know if you have any questions! I work part time in the community. Since I make my own schedule, I can be flexible to accommodate your dog’s needs! My toddler also loves dogs. I have a yard and a home with plenty of space for dogs to roam. Dogs will be monitored at all times and all medicines, cleaning supplies, etc. are safely stored. If your dog uses a crate, that is also welcome but not necessary. I will only take one dog at a time.

About: Hi, my name is Taylor, I am 29 years old and I have been a dog owner for probably over 15 years and I am one of the biggest animal lovers there is! I spent 3 years working at a well know AAHA accredited veterinary clinic. I would love to help others have a chance for good animal care. A little bit about my own pets. I adopted Charlie, my border collie mix, and Willie, my domestic shorthair red mackerel tabby about 4 years ago and recently added Lupa, my border collie to the mix. My preferences: I do prefer dogs, but I know how to care for cats as well! Personally I would probably rather spend all my spare time with any and all animals! Pet sitting is my full-time gig along with a few other odds and ends, so for the most part I am available to stay with your pet all day. My schedule is flexible and my partner is home with my pets while I hang out with yours(: I am always caution about walking others dogs, I follow any and all guidance provided as well as my own judgment based on directions. I have previously worked in a veterinary clinic, so I can read situations that many have never encountered before.

This was the first time having someone watch her other than my sister (who was the foster mom we got her from). Alyssa had several playmates that Jayda got along with and got to play a lot. She also found some new treats for us to try with Jayda. We got Jayda home and she seems tuckered out. Which is good. :-)

I am so glad I found Allison. When I visited her for Meet & Greet, I knew right away that this would be a good place for my dog to stay while I was gone. Such a nice family!

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

Luca had a good time at Ron. And we were happy that he was at a safe place. From the video and photo Ron send we could see how comfortable our pup was. Thanks Ron and family.

Second time that Jennifer watched Maggie, and no regrets at all, she is an amazing and understanding petsitter, I really can tell that Maggie is in good hands. The care and love to our puppy was absolutely wonderful.

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.

My pup seemed to really enjoy herself at Ava’s. Ava sent some photos of them playing in the yard and my pup tuckered out after. Ava did a great job taking care of her. I would book with Ava again.

Brittany was AMAZING! Brownie felt right at home from the moment she entered her house! Brittany is incredibly knowledgeable, conscientious, and warm! Brittany has great communication skills and sent me pictures and insights each day while I was away! I was never concerned for my fur babies well being and highly recommend Brittany to anyone looking for animal care!
