I can’t speak highly enough about Shalyn, Joe, and their family. We went away for an extended period of time and were adamant about finding the perfect dog sitter for our girl Lucy, and that’s exactly what we found. From the moment they took her in, they made Lucy part of their family. Not to mention, she found a new best friend in their German Shepherd, Sadie. Every single day, I received photos and videos of them playing nonstop. It was incredibly heartwarming, and I couldn’t have been happier knowing Lucy was in such loving and capable hands. Just to put things in perspective, Shalyn, Joe, and family are about a 40 minute drive from our home, but they will always be our go to whenever we need care for Lucy. Thank you so much for everything. You are sincerely the best.

Alicia was the best! I knew from our meet and greet that she was going to be great with Tig and of course she was. I had no worries while we were out of town as she sent updates and photos of our Tig often. I can tell he is going to miss his new hangout and all their love & cuddles. I will absolutely book again if I need to in the future.

She was able to take him on walks during the day. I would highly recommend her for your pet care needs.

I was sent pictures and he looked happy and content! We will be sure to give Emily a call next time we need someone to watch Briggs!

Erika did a fantastic job caring for our dogs. Since this was our first vacation in several years, I was nervous about leaving them for an extended period. Lincoln, our senior, requires multiple medications and supplements, and Bella struggles with separation anxiety. Erika and Ryan were so reassuring during the meet-and-greet that I felt at ease immediately; seeing Bella flip over for belly rubs was the best sign! While we were away, we received photo and video updates twice a day. I loved her comments and how she picked up on our dogs personalities 😊 It was clear the dogs were happy, enjoyed their numerous walks, and was never left alone. I’m so grateful to have found Erika and Ryan —they truly understood our dogs' needs and gave them so much love!

I would 100% recommend them to anyone who needs a dog sitter. Clean house, great people. My dog Lucy felt very comfortable at Cheryl's house and we could tell she had a great time! We will definitely go back to Cheryl the next time we need a dog sitter.

Taylor was absolutely fantastic! I am very nervous leaving my big German shepherd with anyone (I’m a bit of a helicopter parent) but Taylor got on with him very well! She dropped in on him during a very long day at work for me, gave him a bit of attention and a potty break, and all went smoothly! She communicated quickly when she was with him and even brought in my heavy chewy box of dog food that was delivered! I can’t say how happy I am to have someone that seems to like my big boy and will be able to take care of him when I need. Taylor is awesome!!

About: Hi! My name is Julie, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I previously worked as an Adoption Manager at Anderson Animal Shelter, where I gained hands-on experience working with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and backgrounds. Through my work, I developed a strong understanding of animal behavior, daily care routines, and how to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have experience administering medications and caring for animals with special needs, both professionally and in my personal life. Whether your pet needs extra patience, medical support, or just lots of attention and affection, I’m confident providing compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. I’ve owned and cared for many different types of dogs over the years, from small breeds to large breeds, and I’m comfortable handling pets with varying energy levels and personalities. I also have experience caring for cats and understand the importance of respecting their unique routines and comfort levels. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, secure, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their animals are in experienced and loving hands. I treat every pet like family and would love the opportunity to care for yours!

About: I am experienced in administering medicinal injections, nail trimming and teeth brushing of larger breeds, lifting 60+ lbs, pad and potty training, and assisting senior and special needs dogs. I currently work remote and spend most of the day with my own pup by my side. We go to the nearby dog park at least weekly, go on two 20-25 minute walks (1mi+) daily, and play regularly throughout the day. He is very friendly and happy to tag along for any walks or play times, if the company is welcomed. I have a large crate available, if needed, and an in ground stake in the front and back yard with 30ft leads attached, allowing for plenty of time outside in shaded and unshaded areas. Food bowls are cleaned after every meal and pet waste is cleaned up after every trip outside.

We have a dedicated floor for our dog friends to play, relax, learn new skills and romp with dogs of similar size, activity level and personality. Dogs also have the run of our common areas. We have crates and cordoned off areas as well if your dog prefers their own “den” to relax in. We have a large yard and access to quiet neighborhoods for pack or individual walks. Dogs are leashed at all times when outside. Your doggo's safety, confidence, comfort, play and enrichment are our primary objectives. Happy dogs…guaranteed!

About: I have been around all different types of pets since I was 5. They have always been a part of my family. I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, chickens and so many more. I can provide many references if needed. I currently work from home so I am very flexible with days and hours. I am also able to pick your pup up or drop off if you need me too. Since I work from home, I am able to take them on multiple walks throughout the day! Your fur baby will be treated as if they were my own.

About: I've often thought about how best to care for my pets when I go out of town. I would want them to be with someone who is loving and makes them feel as if they were with their owner. I would treat your pet the same way I treat mine, with love, care, and attention they need and deserve. We have a fenced yard, neighborhood sidewalks, and nearby walking. I'm super active and into health and fitness. I do crossfit during the week. "A dog is this only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself" I’m currently a stay at home mom to an 2yo, 8yo, and a 6mo puppy. I’ve grew up with dogs in my household. My schedule is pretty much open from 10am- 5pm. I have a fenced in yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. My dog is trained to be out of the cage while I’m gone. I am more then happy to crate your fur baby while I leave my house to do daily errands.

About: I’ve raised/trained my rescue pup Bear on my own from when he was 13 weeks old and now he is 6. And I’ve been around animals my whole life. I recently did I private group animal training session with Cesar Millan at his Dog Psychology Center. I also have volunteered at Wild Bird Rehab many times. Both Bear and I love having more pet company in the home. I’ve always had a deep love for animals - I’m so excited to meet your pet(s) and get to know their fun personalities and quirks! 💙 I work full-time from home. Meaning I will always be home with and monitoring your pet(s) during my work day. I take my dog on walks every morning and evening at Longview or Queeny. I have a very clean, safe, and peaceful apartment with a nice big deck - that my dog loves to sunbathe or people-watch on throughout the day. Unfortunately, I do not have a fenced in yard but there is a small fenced in dog park in my neighborhood that is rarely used by other dogs. I take my high-energy dog on two long walks a day (morning and night) with potty breaks around the neighborhood in between, so lots of walks are already a part of our daily routine. My dog is very gentle and submissive. Your fur baby will feel right at home with us!

About: I am back on Rover after taking a long break when a dear friend needed housing with her 3 dogs for an extended period. I have owned dogs for over 40 years. After losing my 16 yr old Aussie several years ago, I started watching friend's dogs to help my survivor pup adjust to the loss. My clients at Rover have been an absolute blessing for my own pets. Each weather permitting day includes 2 walks and lots of supervision and unlimited indoor/outdoor playtime at home. I provide very frequent outdoor breaks and a roomy backyard with a locked fence with security cameras that is perfect for active dogs to run. I am home all day. I have a huge soft spot and enormous patience for all animals, and will treat your family member with all the love that I have for my own. I text photo updates or snapchats to help you feel confident about how your pet is doing. I also honor your feeding schedule and will work with your pups needs to keep them (and you) as comfortable as possible while you are away. I offer overnight supervision or day care, a cage-free environment (if desired), care for elderly dogs, or dogs who require oral medication. *** In most cases, I limit myself to 2 overnight guest dogs (or 3 if from the same family), so that your pups get lots of focused attention and to reduce the amount of 'new stuff' that they would need to navigate during your absence. *** Last minute bookings are usually no problem as long as we can squeeze in a meet and greet. If I can help insure your peace of mind when you need to be away from your pet, please contact me with any questions that you may have! There is no obligation to inquire. I would be happy to help, and look forward to meeting you and four-legged family member! Karen I will have eyes on your pet all day long. I work from home and can address any pet needs immediately. They will not be left alone for more than the time it takes to run to the supermarket, and usually that is not necessary because I prepare for that in advance. I run every day and can take your pet with me if that is within their physical abilities, with your permission, of course. I watch dogs in my home only, but do send frequent updates to be sure that you are informed about how they are doing. I have a doubly locked fenced yard with security cameras.

About: Have had dogs my whole life and we are active foster parents for a local animal shelter where we specialize in seniors and the friends who are having a rough time adjusting to shelter life. I am able to be home 24/7 to care for your pet. Love to walk and spend time outdoors and will be able to follow any schedule to keep your dog comfortable and spoiled. We do not have a fenced yard so all dogs will be taken out on a leash. Great communication from owners will let us know if there are any other things to watch out for.

About: I believe that every pet deserves individualized care and attention. What sets me apart is my genuine love and respect for animals, which I demonstrate by providing them with a nurturing, safe, and family-like environment. Your pet will never feel like they’re just another animal in a kennel – they’ll feel right at home, like part of the family. I can help puppies with basic commands and socialization, as well as offering gentle care to senior pets who require extra patience and special attention. A big part of my service is the daily walks. I understand how important it is for pets to get their daily exercise and mental stimulation. I make sure to provide enriching walks, whether it’s a calm stroll for a senior pet or a longer, more adventurous walk for an active dog. I adjust the walks according to the pet’s needs, and I always ensure they’re enjoyable, safe, and full of exploration. For added peace of mind, I share GPS-tracked walk updates, so you can follow along on your pet's experience. In addition, I keep owners informed throughout with photos and messages, so you never have to worry about your pet while you're away. My routine includes regular walks and playtime, ensuring your pet stays active and happy. I have full availability to care for pets, and I’m happy to accommodate flexible schedules to meet the needs of both the pets and their owners. Whether it's during the day, late evenings, or weekends, I’m here to provide care whenever it’s needed. Feel free to reach out at any time, and I’ll gladly arrange a time that works for you and your pet! When caring for pets in their own homes or taking them for walks, my primary focus is always on safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment. In your home: I ensure the home is secure and free of hazards, paying close attention to areas where the pet may be most comfortable. I follow any special instructions from the pet owner regarding their pet’s habits, food, and preferences to maintain a consistent and safe environment. Whether I’m watching them at home or during a walk, I treat them with the same care as I would my own pets, ensuring they are always safe, comfortable, and happy. During walks: I prioritize safety by ensuring your dog is always under control, whether in urban or outdoor settings. I also ensure that pets are properly hydrated and not overexerted during their walks, adjusting the route and pace based on the pet’s age, size, and energy level. Trust is built by maintaining clear communication with the pet owner, regularly sending updates, photos, and videos to keep them informed about their pet's well-being and activities. This ensures the owners can trust that their pets are receiving the best care while they’re away.

About: I've loved dogs my whole life and have owned three of my own, giving me firsthand experience with their daily care, exercise, and companionship. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've looked after dogs and cats for family members, friends, and neighbors. I also have cared for two mini doodles for several weeks over the past few summers, along with the families pet lizard and guinea pig. Additionally, I regularly volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I walk and play with dogs of all sizes and help feed and socialize cats. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to check in on your pets throughout the day! I can also take your dogs out for walks, multiple times a day if needed. I will follow instructions you leave to make sure I am giving your pets everything they need. I have no problem taking dogs to dog parks or for long walks depending on their needs.

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for nearly my entire life, so your furry friends will be in very experienced hands. I find genuine joy in being around animals and truly love the bond that comes with pet sitting. Since I believe staying active is essential for a happy pet, I especially enjoy taking dogs on long walks. It’s a great way for them to burn off energy and explore, providing a mutual benefit of exercise and fresh air for both myself and your pup! Lifelong Experience: Hands-on care with a variety of animals since childhood. Large Animal Familiarity: Comfortable and capable with both large and small dogs Active Care Style: Dedicated to ensuring your pet gets the movement and stimulation they need. I’m currently a full time college student and attend classes two days a week. This allows me to have an open and consistent schedule to care for the needs of clients! Growing up, I participated in dog obedience training with my county’s 4-H program. This experience allows me to promote a safe and nurturing environment while allowing the dog to have a positive experience.

I also wouldn’t mind bringing the dog with for car rides being able to take it too different conservations and atmospheres for walks!

I can’t speak highly enough about Shalyn, Joe, and their family. We went away for an extended period of time and were adamant about finding the perfect dog sitter for our girl Lucy, and that’s exactly what we found. From the moment they took her in, they made Lucy part of their family. Not to mention, she found a new best friend in their German Shepherd, Sadie. Every single day, I received photos and videos of them playing nonstop. It was incredibly heartwarming, and I couldn’t have been happier knowing Lucy was in such loving and capable hands. Just to put things in perspective, Shalyn, Joe, and family are about a 40 minute drive from our home, but they will always be our go to whenever we need care for Lucy. Thank you so much for everything. You are sincerely the best.

As always, Deanne and her family took excellent care of our Bazooka! Bazooka has a blast every time! There are sitters closer to us, but we choose to use Deanne exclusively because she goes the extra mile! Five stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Meredith was so great at keeping me informed and sending pictures of my pup while we were away on our trip. She seems to really know a lot about dogs and I love the fact that she has veterinary tech experience and dog training certification! My pup was very happy there and I will certainly use Meredith again!

Emily and family treated our Briggs like their own. They went on walks, cozied up by the fire and had a sleepover in the living room because he can’t get up stairs very well. I was sent pictures and he looked happy and content! We will be sure to give Emily a call next time we need someone to watch Briggs!

Carolyn took amazing care of our pup while we were out of town for 10 days! Her communication is exceptional and she send lots of updates and pictures throughout the stay. We know that our dog is in good hands when we go out of town and leave him with Carolyn! Highly highly recommended, we could not be happier about having such a reliable sitter for our pup!!

Erika did a fantastic job caring for our dogs. Since this was our first vacation in several years, I was nervous about leaving them for an extended period. Lincoln, our senior, requires multiple medications and supplements, and Bella struggles with separation anxiety. Erika and Ryan were so reassuring during the meet-and-greet that I felt at ease immediately; seeing Bella flip over for belly rubs was the best sign! While we were away, we received photo and video updates twice a day. I loved her comments and how she picked up on our dogs personalities 😊 It was clear the dogs were happy, enjoyed their numerous walks, and was never left alone. I’m so grateful to have found Erika and Ryan —they truly understood our dogs' needs and gave them so much love!

She's simply the best! Reliable, caring, and good at keeping in touch. Sending me photos daily and brief updates on what Sugar is doing. Thank you, Beth! You made taking this vacation a little easier knowing Sugar was in good hands.

Cheryl took great care of my dog! She and her husband are very kind people and it was an absolute pleasure to be able to have them watch our dog. I would 100% recommend them to anyone who needs a dog sitter. Clean house, great people. My dog Lucy felt very comfortable at Cheryl's house and we could tell she had a great time! We will definitely go back to Cheryl the next time we need a dog sitter.

Ashley was great! She responded to my request almost immediately, was able to take care of my puppy upon very short notice, and she sent me cute pictures and videos throughout his short stay. I will definitely request Ashley again if we need a sitter.

I used Carla for the first time and I will definitely use her again. My dog is extremely active and gets bored easily (can't trust him alone in the house). Carla sent me videos and pictures of him playing with her golden and he had a great time and was active all day. We just came home and he is super tired just relaxing by my feet. Thank you for watching him Carla!

Once again, Derek and his family took wonderful care of my dog Bear while we were on vacation. He and his family treat him like part of their family, and that’s what really matters to us. Thank you so much, Derek.

Stella and her family hosted my Nora (border collie/husky) for 27 days, and I could not be happier. Nora was clearly very happy and integrated well with the family. I received frequent text updates, and never had to worry about my dog's well-being. Stella's fenced back yard is a huge asset. There were a few bumps early on a Nora acclimated to their home, but Stella and her family were very patient with her. I appreciate that so much!

Melynda did such a great ?? job taking care of my dogs, that I almost think they wanted to stay. She’s reliable, reasonably priced, and genuinely loves dogs. I totally recommend her but will be disappointed if she’s so over booked that I can get her to take my dogs ?! Thank you Melynda!
