“Loya and her 2 pups made Frankie's stay feel like home. We don't leave her behind often, but when we do - we are calling Loya. Very friendly & flexible. She sent me updates with photos and videos.”


“Matthew cared for my dogs with love and attention. They love playing at his house. He makes them part of his family. It was especially wonderful knowing that through the storm he was cuddling my dogs and making sure that they were not scared. I enjoyed all of the pictures and hearing about my dogs while I was away.”

“I truly could not have had a better experience! We have never left our dog alone before, and I was not worried the entire time! We got so many pictures and updates throughout the day, we didn’t worry once. Our girl was so happy, she didn’t even want to come back home. We will absolutely be booking again!!”


About: I’ve dog sat for family members on multiple occasions. The dogs seen in my photographs are family dogs that have stayed in my home. I will adhere to the preference of pet owners on if the pets can interact with other pets. I work full-time as a remote employee for Royal Canin. I’m actively provided breaks, lunches, and planned time that I could take out and feed pets. While my residence is unfenced, the neighborhood is very safe within a small town. The pets will be free to move about inside of the home and I can accommodate if they need to be on a leash even in the backyard.
“Annie was awesome for our boxer, and we will definitely use her again. She did a nice job sending a few photos during our trip which is always nice. There were no concerns or surprises, and the dog seemed to be very happy after a week with Annie and her family.”

“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.”

“Monica was amazing! This was our first experience with using Rover and I cannot recommend Monica enough. If I could give 10 stars I would. She provided daily updates with pictures, she has a fenced yard and has room for them to play. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our two puppies were well cared for and enjoying themselves. I highly recommend Monica.”

“Amy was great. She took such loving care of my boys. We have both a dog and a cat. We got tons of photos of them so we were able to see what they were up to while we were away. I highly recommend her services.”

“Alex and her family were amazing! She was extremely easy to work with and communicate with. I was almost afraid Cooper would want to stay with them after his two week visit. Photos came regularly. Honestly, she was the best and only rover sitter we will ever use again! Thank you, Alex!”
“Elaine was superb! She was quick to respond with booking, she was welcoming upon our arrival and she sent text with pictures to keep us informed on his status. I was at ease knowing our cat was in Elaine’s care. She and her family offered him a warm and safe environment. Highly recommend!”

“Memphis loved her boarding experience with Aurora! I was sent with pictures, videos, and updates throughout the stay which was greatly appreciated. We will definitely be booking with Aurora again!”


“My pup loved staying a Bianca’s! She is super communicative and sent plenty of pictures. He looked so happy there! I had zero worries about my pup while he was with her. Will 100% be using her again!”


About: Hi! I’m Sarah! I’m a dog mom myself and genuinely love getting to spend time with other people’s pups. I started dog sitting for family and friends and loved it enough that I decided to branch out and meet some new furry friends! I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m able to spend lots of time with the dogs I’m caring for. I know every dog has their own personality, quirks, and routine, and I’m happy to follow whatever makes your pup happiest and most comfortable while you’re away. As a dog owner, I also know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away without worrying about how your pup is doing. Expect lots of love, attention, playtime, and plenty of picture updates! Basically, I’m very happy being the person who talks to your dog like they’re a human and sends you way too many pictures of them. 🐾 I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pup throughout the day! I’m available for regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and bedtime routine so their stay feels as familiar and comfortable as possible. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, dogs are always leashed and supervised outside, and I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks and multiple walks throughout the day. I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pup is in good hands. I’ll follow any instructions you provide and do my best to keep their routine consistent while you’re away.
“Tammy was great! She kept in contact with me and sent photos. I felt at ease with her watching Jasper. When I got there to puck him up, he was happy and relaxed. I can tell he was well taken care of!”

“Ashley wasted out Shepsky while we were on a float trip. She sent pictures. Jersey made herself right at home next to the chair. Her children played with her. Will definitely book her again.”

“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.”

“Having a total care senior dog can be extremely stressful when planning a trip out of town. My dogs used to be road trip champs but unfortunately due to old age and one handicap, they have to stay behind. From the moment Mason came for a meet and greet both dogs greeted him and were calm and happy in their presence. Masons confidence and willingness to care for my total care senior dog was a relief. I was able to go out of town for 5 days with a peace of mind knowing that they were not only well taken care of but happy as well. I highly recommend him for all your doggie needs.”

About: I’ve taken care of multiple types of pets. Dogs and Cats included. My family has always counted on me to walk their dogs and feed their animals when they’re too busy and or away from home. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom so I have all the time in the world to walk your fur babies and play with them. I have my dog on a schedule but she has more than enough toys and chews to pick from. She enjoys the fact that she is overly spoiled. She’s leash trained. (Kinda)

“Latasha was wonderful! All the cats loved her as soon as they met her. She has a natural talent when it comes to getting to know your pets. She sent pictures of our cats to us everyday on vacation and was super responsive on her phone when we wanted to see our pets. It was such a relief knowing that she was here with them. One of the things I appreciated the most was that when we got here it was as clean as when we left it. She took all the notes and she performed the tasks laid out to her exactly like we did with the cats. She also helped keep them on their schedule by following their feeding times. Latasha played with them which is honestly more than I do sometimes. They may have gotten a little spoiled with all the attention lol. Each day she would send images but she'd also send a little story or observation of the cat. That was nice because it helped us to know that they were acting in their usual ways and not sad that we were gone and missed us. I would 1000% book Latasha again. If you've never had a cat sitter (we hadn't) she will answer all your questions and really set your nerves at ease.”


About: I have 2 years of experience with cat pet care through my own small pet sitting business. I have watched cats as young as kittens to 21 years old. I also grew up with cats and would absolutely love the opportunity to care for your furry baby.

“Diane is the best sitter ever. Flexible with pick up and drop off times. She sends so many photos of your fur babies having fun. Next time I need a sitter they will be visiting their new friend Diane again!”

About: Some see them as animals, I see them as little people... whom deserves to be loved and cared for properly. I am dedicated and trust worthy. SAFETY is my number one priority when it comes to your pet. I am a Welder by trade and its currently too hot outside for my career, so I'll have lots of time for your pet till the fall when it cools down. I have two very friendly children in my home, ages 17 and 7. We have lots of room in our home and a big back yard which includes chickens. 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.
“Catelyn was amazing with my two elderly cats. Even the antisocial one loved her! She sent me daily updates with pictures. Catelyn was wonderful and made my vacation stress-free.”

About: Hi! I’m Gaby, a full-time professional pet sitter and lifelong animal lover. Caring for animals isn’t a side job for me, it’s full time job and passion! One of the biggest benefits of booking with me is that I do this full-time, which means your pets receive far more attention, companionship, and supervision than they would with sitters who work traditional 9–5 jobs or are in and out all day. Your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches of the day, and their comfort, safety, and routine will always be my top priority. I have professional experience working in daycare and boarding environments, including Kennelwood Animal Resort and Y Bark Alone. Through that experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m comfortable administering medications (both oral and injections), handling puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets, and recognizing signs that a pet may be stressed, anxious, or unwell. When I watch your babies, they aren’t just another booking. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care they deserve. You’ll receive tons of pupdates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in caring hands. My goal is to become the sitter you can rely on whenever you need help, a trusted person who treats your pets like family and provides the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own! I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies!🐶🐾 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.
About: I’ve had animals all my life from seniors to littler of puppies. I’ve been to classes to teach and have taken care of multiple pets through hospice. I’ve raised a hand full of litters and pride myself on a loving and fun home for my animals! I can fit almost any Animal within my schedule and around my other small pup! We go on frequent walks and have play time throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard where pets can safely play, exercise, and enjoy some outdoor time. I provide fresh water, supervision, and a safe, comfortable environment. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and care instructions.
“TeAsia did an amazing job looking after my cat. He was very comfortable and happy with her, and adjusted very well. Avani my cat is usually very shy and has a longer time adjusting to new environments, but it seemed like he adjusted very fast, made himself right at home as soon as i dropped him off, and had a lot of fun! She is a great communicator, trust worthy, and will send plenty of videos and photos of your pet. I’ll be booking with her again in the future!”


“Brad was very responsive to a last minute request to let my dogs out when I couldn’t get back home in time to feed them. He fed them and let them out and hung out with them for awhile.”

“Chelsey was just the BEST!! We were so anxious about leaving them. To make matters worse, there was a bad storm in the forecast. She took the very best care of them and we will definitely be using her again!!”

“This was only our first meeting with Brad. We booked him for 1 hour prior to a planned pet sitting stayover to meet us and our loving boy Jackson. To familiarize Brad with Jackson's routine, we wanted him to join us while we took Jackson on his daily walk. Brad was attentive and asked thorough questions about Jackson's care. They got along right away. We feel more comfortable having scheduled a longer initial meet. It gave us more peace of mind in knowing that the care and well being of our sweet baby and the care and regard for our home will be in good hands!”

Almost everyday when I'm not busy i make sure i take my feed my cats ol L Play with them using their toys and give lots of pets I make sure they are fed well i take them for walks if something is wrong i will contact the owner and i make sure they are safe.
About: What sets me apart is my patience, flexibility, and genuine love for animals. I understand that pets, like people, need time to warm up, so I always work on their schedule — not mine. As a mom of two students high school and college, caring for pets fills my heart and time with purpose. I’m dependable, respectful of your home, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and understood. This is my full-time occupation, I don’t mind driving or going the extra mile to make sure your home and pets are cared for like family I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a calm, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I take time to earn their trust, give them space when needed, and show affection when they’re ready. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions with care and attention to detail—just as I would for my own pets. My goal is to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.
About: Some see them as animals, I see them as little people... whom deserves to be loved and cared for properly. I am dedicated and trust worthy. SAFETY is my number one priority when it comes to your pet. I am a Welder by trade and its currently too hot outside for my career, so I'll have lots of time for your pet till the fall when it cools down. I have two very friendly children in my home, ages 17 and 7. We have lots of room in our home and a big back yard which includes chickens. 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: I’ve grown up around rescued misunderstood breeds so I know how important quality care for your pet‘s personality can be. I’ve been taking care of family and friends pets since I was 12, as well as volunteered at local shelters. I currently work full time, M-F but love animals and have decided to pick it up on the side. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats at home that I spend most of my free time loving on. I have my own 3 year old cocker spaniel that I rescued 4 year ago who super laidback and well trained. I also have a 3 year old doodle mix who is higher energy but loves to snuggle as well. I have a very large crate that would be comfortable for nearly any breed if needed, as long as multiple small ones for daytime naps, etc.
“Catelyn is so nice and loved my dogs! She gave us an update after every walk with a note and pictures! You can truly tell she loves dogs and wants to give them the best!!”

About: Hi! I’m Gaby, a full-time professional pet sitter and lifelong animal lover. Caring for animals isn’t a side job for me, it’s full time job and passion! One of the biggest benefits of booking with me is that I do this full-time, which means your pets receive far more attention, companionship, and supervision than they would with sitters who work traditional 9–5 jobs or are in and out all day. Your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches of the day, and their comfort, safety, and routine will always be my top priority. I have professional experience working in daycare and boarding environments, including Kennelwood Animal Resort and Y Bark Alone. Through that experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m comfortable administering medications (both oral and injections), handling puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets, and recognizing signs that a pet may be stressed, anxious, or unwell. When I watch your babies, they aren’t just another booking. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care they deserve. You’ll receive tons of pupdates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in caring hands. My goal is to become the sitter you can rely on whenever you need help, a trusted person who treats your pets like family and provides the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own! I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies!🐶🐾 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.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a kid. Most recently raising a German shepherd for the last 10 years! I love long walks with the pups and tending to their needs.

I have a fence where the dog can have ample space to run around and roam free. Or they can relax inside during the hot summer days.

“Loya and her 2 pups made Frankie's stay feel like home. We don't leave her behind often, but when we do - we are calling Loya. Very friendly & flexible. She sent me updates with photos and videos.”


“Matthew cared for my dogs with love and attention. They love playing at his house. He makes them part of his family. It was especially wonderful knowing that through the storm he was cuddling my dogs and making sure that they were not scared. I enjoyed all of the pictures and hearing about my dogs while I was away.”


About: I’ve dog sat for family members on multiple occasions. The dogs seen in my photographs are family dogs that have stayed in my home. I will adhere to the preference of pet owners on if the pets can interact with other pets. I work full-time as a remote employee for Royal Canin. I’m actively provided breaks, lunches, and planned time that I could take out and feed pets. While my residence is unfenced, the neighborhood is very safe within a small town. The pets will be free to move about inside of the home and I can accommodate if they need to be on a leash even in the backyard.
“Annie was awesome for our boxer, and we will definitely use her again. She did a nice job sending a few photos during our trip which is always nice. There were no concerns or surprises, and the dog seemed to be very happy after a week with Annie and her family.”

“Monica was amazing! This was our first experience with using Rover and I cannot recommend Monica enough. If I could give 10 stars I would. She provided daily updates with pictures, she has a fenced yard and has room for them to play. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our two puppies were well cared for and enjoying themselves. I highly recommend Monica.”

“Amy was great. She took such loving care of my boys. We have both a dog and a cat. We got tons of photos of them so we were able to see what they were up to while we were away. I highly recommend her services.”

“Alex and her family were amazing! She was extremely easy to work with and communicate with. I was almost afraid Cooper would want to stay with them after his two week visit. Photos came regularly. Honestly, she was the best and only rover sitter we will ever use again! Thank you, Alex!”

Thanks again for taking care of ghost for me. 😊”


About: Hi! I’m Sarah! I’m a dog mom myself and genuinely love getting to spend time with other people’s pups. I started dog sitting for family and friends and loved it enough that I decided to branch out and meet some new furry friends! I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m able to spend lots of time with the dogs I’m caring for. I know every dog has their own personality, quirks, and routine, and I’m happy to follow whatever makes your pup happiest and most comfortable while you’re away. As a dog owner, I also know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away without worrying about how your pup is doing. Expect lots of love, attention, playtime, and plenty of picture updates! Basically, I’m very happy being the person who talks to your dog like they’re a human and sends you way too many pictures of them. 🐾 I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pup throughout the day! I’m available for regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and bedtime routine so their stay feels as familiar and comfortable as possible. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, dogs are always leashed and supervised outside, and I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks and multiple walks throughout the day.

I’ll follow any instructions you provide and do my best to keep their routine consistent while you’re away.
“Tammy was great! She kept in contact with me and sent photos. I felt at ease with her watching Jasper. When I got there to puck him up, he was happy and relaxed. I can tell he was well taken care of!”
