“So incredibly grateful I found Melanie to take care of my boys for an extended weekend. She provided daily updates and tons of pics to ensure the guys were adjusting nicely to their vacation home. Definitely planning to use her excellent care in the future!”
“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.”
“Savannah did a great job taking care of lily🥰 she sent me pictures every day. My dog is a picky eater, and she even bought a broth to mix with her dry food. She also responds very quick, always on communication!”
“Amber is the best sitter I’ve had for Beanie so far. I’ve rebooked with her multiple times, and every experience has been wonderful. The last time I dropped Beanie off, she was having some diarrhea issues, but Amber handled it so well. She checked with me before feeding her pumpkin, and it really helped Beanie feel better. Beanie absolutely loves spending time with Amber, which gives me so much peace of mind. Amber clearly understands dogs and knows how to care for them with both knowledge and compassion. Dog owners can truly relax and trust that their pets are in great hands with her.”
“Kat was very accommodating and we were very pleased with her services. It sounded like Abbey got along very well with her pets and the other dog she was sitting for that day. We were grateful that she was willing to take Abbey along with her other booking!”
“Julianne is amazing!!! We received updated at minimum twice a day with photos and videos included. Was very impressed with her communication and transparency during our pups stay with her while we was 1000 miles away. It was comforting knowing she was well taken care of. We can’t thank Julianne enough for her time with our pup and most definitely plan to use her again in the future.”
“I 100% recommend Alysa!! She did an amazing job watching my high maintenance pup in her home while I was on vacation. She is incredibly kind, responsible, and my dog loved her. She followed all my instructions, including giving daily medications, to a T. I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her and her dog Oatmeal. I definitely recommend Alysa and would use her again.”
“Lyn took great care of our pup while we were on vacation! She sent us videos and pictures every day and our dog really enjoyed playing with Lyn’s dog, Millie! We would definitely use Lyn again!”
“I highly recommend Caitlins dog boarding service. Axel had a good time during his stay. Axel normally gets anxious in a new place and with new people but Caitlin made him feel at ease during his entire visit , which also made me enjoy my vacation because I am not worried about my little Axel’s well being. I appreciate all the pictures and the report that she gives you at the end of the day with all the details about how much he ate, how many times he went outside and the potty breaks. Caitlin, Thank you so much for taking care of my little baby…”
“We don't leave our 15 year old Sadie very often. As soon as I met Justin, their kiddos, and their dog, I knew she was in the best hands. Thanks to them for making her so comfortable and welcome. I would not hesitate to book with them again. ❤️”
“I couldn't be happier with the care Luna received! Chris and Erika were attentive, loving, and kept me updated with photos. Luna came home happy and healthy! Highly recommend!”
“Karan was amazing. He watched our Garfield sized Cat and was truly wonderful. Smart, responsible, kind and loving to our fat feline. I can’t recommend Karan enough. He has an adorable 15 lbs perfect dog as well that will get along great with any dog or cat. Nice place as well, so you are leaving your furry friend in the best of hands. Thanks Karan. We will use your services again for sure.”
“Hannah was so responsive and flexible and incredibly understanding. She watched our fur baby with such care and our pup felt right at home. She was all drawn to her! I would love to book again in the future!!!!”
“Amy was wonderful to work with in watching our English Setter. She kept us posted regularly with how he was doing and he was obviously very comfortable in the pictures she shared! She was very helpful in working with us and making sure of his needs. Can’t say enough about the care Amy showed and we will be in touch with her for any future sitting needs. Thanks so much again Amy!”
About: I have owned K9’s all of my life. I absolutely adore dogs of all types. At this phase of life I am currently taking a hiatus of owning a K9 while I consider owning more properties. I think Rover is a great alternative medium way for me to continue providing my love for dogs, and give back to the community. I am home quite often, most of the days if need be. I can work from home. My current entrepreneurial endeavor allows me to build my own schedule. In my home I would keep K9 nearby in my two main level living rooms. I have all laminate hardwood wood flooring. The fenced backyard allows for easy potty breaks and play time, however I will be with the K9 while they are outside to ensure their safety.
About: Hi!! I was busy watching pets all summer, as I'm a teacher. Now, I am back to work and have less availability. If your pet can go 8+ hours without a potty break, I can help! Otherwise, I will be back next summer with more availability :) I have limited availability now that I am back to teaching, but please reach out if you think we can work something out! I am busy all day and at times have kid activities in the evenings, so my availability is limited :( We have a partially fenced in yard. We live close to the trial, so we will go on many walks. We have a leash outside as well as room to crate inside.
About: I have experience caring for dogs with a wide range of needs—from those on strict schedules requiring medication and extra attention, to high-energy dogs who need plenty of exercise, as well as more easygoing pets who simply need love and companionship. I understand that every dog is unique, and I’m committed to following your specific instructions to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy building my schedule around consistency and responsibility. I plan my day to ensure pets are fed on time, get the exercise they need, and receive plenty of attention and care. Whether that means morning walks, playtime during the day, or evening check-ins, I make sure each pet’s routine is followed closely so they feel comfortable and secure. On a weekly basis, I stay flexible to meet each pet’s needs, including longer visits, extended walks, or additional care if needed. I’m very dependable and make pet care a priority, so you can feel confident your dog will be well cared for and treated like family. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions provided, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications or special care needs. I make sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment by giving them plenty of attention, affection, and consistency. I also treat your home with the utmost respect—keeping things clean, secure, and exactly how you left them. I provide updates while you’re away so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“She was absolutely wonderful! Very polite, punctual, and always friendly with a smile. I contacted her at the last minute, just one day before I needed her, and she was available and very accommodating. She kept me updated the entire time and made me feel completely comfortable knowing my cats were in good hands. I’m very grateful for her help and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommended!”
“I cannot say enough positive things about Hannah! She continues to show her reliability & trustworthiness week in and week out. Our dogs love and trust her very much! With how important they are to us we were very skeptical that we’d be able to find someone who we trusted would lovingly care for them the way they are accustomed to, but we found that with Hannah!”
“This was our second time booking Georgia to have check in visits with our cats. She is so easy to work with, is gentle and loving with animals, and is trustworthy and always provides updates. We highly recommend!”
About: I have worked at a dog kennel since 2021. I had to do 2 months of training before hand. Friends and neighbors have allowed me to babysit their pets as well. I’ve fed, walked, cuddle, brushed, bathed and given medicine to dogs. I’m currently in college but coming home for summer and winter break. I’m working at the kennel still but want more work hours in the week I will keep an eye on them when they are outside as well as if I need to watch them while they’re eating. I will give them love and play all day with them
“Mackenzie is an absolute angel with my cat Lulu! She’s well extremely reliable when it comes to any unexpected situation on my end and even goes as far as to send me little updates with pictures on Lulu to see how she’s doing! Absolutely amazing sitter along with her partner who also is amazing with cats! 100000/10 ! Great with feeding instructions and everything!. Also an amazing option for boarding because of the spare bedroom she has for ur pet!”
About: I provide a caring loving environment for all dogs that I watch. I currently own 2 Boston’s and a boxer who I administer medicine too for seizures. I walk them daily and let them out hourly. I will make sure all dogs are healthy and as happy as can be when watching them. I also watch my neighbor or family friends dogs which range from sizes small to large. I don’t have as much experience with giant dogs but I would be more than willing to love them just as much as any other dog I watch! I am available during the day and night as I attended college and have classes in the mornings. I can stay as long as needed to keep them company and playful for when you return home! Contact me with any additional questions!
About: Whether your cat loves attention or prefers their space, I’ll make sure they are safe and cared for while you’re away. I’ve had cats since childhood and have hands on experience caring for their everyday needs, personalities, and routines.
About: Hi my name is Kyle and I am a experienced dog and cat sitter who also has personal experience with small critters as well. I started dog sitting in my neighbors home when I was 16 and would need to stay overnight due to the dogs separation anxiety. I was also required and very much enjoyed walking said dog 3-4 times . I love all animals very much, always have and caring and their happiness has always been a thing I pride myself on. I'm very professional and will provide the best care for your pet. I currently have two dogs of my own so walks are a must as well as just basic dog parent daily duties. I usually try to walk my dogs at least once a day but sometimes fit in two walks. I would care for each animal as if it were my own as I want the pet parent to feel safe and sound knowing their babies were safe while they were away.
“Michele was great! She dropped in over 4 days to feed, administer medication to and clean up after my 4 cats. My cats were well taken care of and happy. Michele is also very responsive to messages and I was never worried. Would definitely recommend her services.”
“This was my second booking with Rebekah, and she was just as fantastic as the first time! Rebekah provides great updates and very communicative. Highly recommend if you want to ensure your pets are in good hands.”

About: I didn't use to be a cat person till a grumpy old cat chose us as his family and stole my heart🥰 My cat was indoor/ outdoor since that's the life he was used to live so naturally I've gotten lots of "sweet" presents from him over the years (including a half-skinned live bunny rabbit😬). I could accommodate kitties several days of the week, depending on my schedule.

“Savannah was a life saver! We were in town for the weekend for an event and she was able to accommodate my two small dogs on a last minute basis. She was very flexible and allowed late pick up (one of the events didn’t get done until 12:30 AM). My two pugs did amazing with her which really reflects how much she loves and cares for animals; they felt comfortable with her and made themselves at home. My younger girl came home exhausted each night after having the best time with Savannah’s pug. If I could have her as a regular sitter I would! Thank you so so much!”
“Peggy is exactly the person you want taking care of your pets. She is patient, relaxed, and full of love! She has a dog of her own, Peanut, and offers to do an introduction before your booking to make sure all animals are comfortable. My days are somewhat unpredictable and Peggy was always accommodating and patient with my schedule. Maple would rush to her door each day in anticipation. We feel so lucky that Maple has been under such great care for the past 2 weeks!!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was a kid and have been dog sitting and walking for about 8 years. I absolutely love animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, family, and others have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable! 🐶❤️ I’m currently a college student, so my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week! I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting around my classes, as well as on weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m very attentive and will follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, or special needs. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
“First time leaving our dog for the day with a sitter. Not sure who was more anxious the dog or my wife and I! Karan was awesome. Put us at ease during drop off and keep us updated with lots of pictures and messages during the day. Super happy with our experience and highly recommend Karan and look forward to having them sit our dog again in the future.”
About: I grew up on a farm with many animals. As a child, I had pet sheep, rabbits, dogs, cats, and cows. As an adult, I have always had cats. My 20 year old long hair cat just passed away in January. It was heartbreaking. I miss him dearly. We loved our guy so much. In his last 5 yrs, I spent many hours catering to his elderly issues. Medications and night yowling were issues that I happily took care of as he lived out his twilight years. I have a soft spot for all animals as they go through all stages of life :) I work from home and set my own hours, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am open to many kinds of arrangements- one time sitting, a weekly routine, daily walks, weekends, etc. I am extremely fortunate to have a flexible schedule. My teen daughter and I live in a large 4 bedroom home, so we have tons of space to accommodate furry friends who need company. We do not have a fenced in yard, but our neighborhood is great for long walks. Our neighborhood has trails through the woods and a home owner’s association that maintains the trails. We have lots of fun walking the trails. I am an avid jogger/walker. I go out everyday, regardless of the weather. I have a very active lifestyle! We recently adopted a cat, but he stays in his own area on a different level of the house. He has claimed my daughter as his and lives in her room. When dogs come to stay with us, he typically stays in his room & pups never see him, although he has made friends with some of our regularly visiting pups 😊 I have a very flexible work schedule. When I do have to be away from home for work, I am gone about 2-3 hrs at a time. My daughter is at home often and also helps with pups. She is great with animals! We both like to take frequent walks throughout the day! In my home, I have a large open floor plan with tons of windows. During the day, I like to have pups next to me in my office, but some like to lay in prime viewing area of all the windows.
“Our doodle is always SO happy to go with Caitlyn! (She might love Caitlyn more than she loves us, tbh.) Caitlyn is just so calm and good with dogs - she can even clean those fluffy ears sometimes, which is so above and beyond for a “dog sitter”… she’s more like our pooch’s second family. Her house is organized to be dog friendly. I recommend her for doggie daycare AND boarding!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15 years old for family and friends. I have experience with overnight stays at clients' houses as well as boarding at my own house and experience with puppies and senior dogs.

I have an unfenced yard, but live close to walking trails and in a quiet neighborhood. I have children who adore dogs and look forward to being around them. Our sunroom is a great place for your animal to curl up and enjoy a nap in the sunshine.
“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!”

“So incredibly grateful I found Melanie to take care of my boys for an extended weekend. She provided daily updates and tons of pics to ensure the guys were adjusting nicely to their vacation home. Definitely planning to use her excellent care in the future!”
“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.”
“Savannah did a great job taking care of lily🥰 she sent me pictures every day. My dog is a picky eater, and she even bought a broth to mix with her dry food. She also responds very quick, always on communication!”
“Amber is the best sitter I’ve had for Beanie so far. I’ve rebooked with her multiple times, and every experience has been wonderful. The last time I dropped Beanie off, she was having some diarrhea issues, but Amber handled it so well. She checked with me before feeding her pumpkin, and it really helped Beanie feel better. Beanie absolutely loves spending time with Amber, which gives me so much peace of mind. Amber clearly understands dogs and knows how to care for them with both knowledge and compassion. Dog owners can truly relax and trust that their pets are in great hands with her.”
“Kat was very accommodating and we were very pleased with her services. It sounded like Abbey got along very well with her pets and the other dog she was sitting for that day. We were grateful that she was willing to take Abbey along with her other booking!”
“Julianne is amazing!!! We received updated at minimum twice a day with photos and videos included. Was very impressed with her communication and transparency during our pups stay with her while we was 1000 miles away. It was comforting knowing she was well taken care of. We can’t thank Julianne enough for her time with our pup and most definitely plan to use her again in the future.”
“I 100% recommend Alysa!! She did an amazing job watching my high maintenance pup in her home while I was on vacation. She is incredibly kind, responsible, and my dog loved her. She followed all my instructions, including giving daily medications, to a T. I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her and her dog Oatmeal. I definitely recommend Alysa and would use her again.”
“We don't leave our 15 year old Sadie very often. As soon as I met Justin, their kiddos, and their dog, I knew she was in the best hands. Thanks to them for making her so comfortable and welcome. I would not hesitate to book with them again. ❤️”
“I couldn't be happier with the care Luna received! Chris and Erika were attentive, loving, and kept me updated with photos. Luna came home happy and healthy! Highly recommend!”
“Karan was amazing. He watched our Garfield sized Cat and was truly wonderful. Smart, responsible, kind and loving to our fat feline. I can’t recommend Karan enough. He has an adorable 15 lbs perfect dog as well that will get along great with any dog or cat. Nice place as well, so you are leaving your furry friend in the best of hands. Thanks Karan. We will use your services again for sure.”
“Hannah was so responsive and flexible and incredibly understanding. She watched our fur baby with such care and our pup felt right at home. She was all drawn to her! I would love to book again in the future!!!!”
“Amy was wonderful to work with in watching our English Setter. She kept us posted regularly with how he was doing and he was obviously very comfortable in the pictures she shared! She was very helpful in working with us and making sure of his needs. Can’t say enough about the care Amy showed and we will be in touch with her for any future sitting needs. Thanks so much again Amy!”
About: I have owned K9’s all of my life. I absolutely adore dogs of all types. At this phase of life I am currently taking a hiatus of owning a K9 while I consider owning more properties. I think Rover is a great alternative medium way for me to continue providing my love for dogs, and give back to the community. I am home quite often, most of the days if need be. I can work from home. My current entrepreneurial endeavor allows me to build my own schedule. In my home I would keep K9 nearby in my two main level living rooms. I have all laminate hardwood wood flooring. The fenced backyard allows for easy potty breaks and play time, however I will be with the K9 while they are outside to ensure their safety.
About: Hi!! I was busy watching pets all summer, as I'm a teacher. Now, I am back to work and have less availability. If your pet can go 8+ hours without a potty break, I can help! Otherwise, I will be back next summer with more availability :) I have limited availability now that I am back to teaching, but please reach out if you think we can work something out! I am busy all day and at times have kid activities in the evenings, so my availability is limited :( We have a partially fenced in yard. We live close to the trial, so we will go on many walks. We have a leash outside as well as room to crate inside.
About: I've been a dog mom to s pit/lab mix and currently a pit/Cane Corso mix. He's a sweet boy who loves eveyone and is both active but also likes his daily naps. I work 3 days of the week so on my days off I'm available for walks/drop-in visits or boarding. Aslan would love to have someone to play with😊 I have a fenced yard and a doggy door which makes it easy for quick potty breaks and playtime. I enjoy taking my dude on hiking the trails at a park or to a dog park to run off his energy and take great naps after. I also spend a lot of time playing and training Aslan. Communication with animals is important to me and making sure their needs are met. Treats are on the daily menu!
About: I have taken care of animals for a while and even worked on a farm! All of your friends will be safe and cared for in my home. I am available for boarding pretty much any days of the week and I am perfectly okay with last minute bookings and cancellations if needed! I understand how life can get! I work only 4 min from my job and have flexibility to step in and out. I also have an indoor camera to keep an eye when I am away.
“So, we all love our dogs. I personally think my dogs are the best dogs in the world, and worthy of the very best care, and someone who will allow them to feel loved when we need to leave them behind. The reality is that we never know exactly what is happening with our beloved pets when we entrust them to someone else. My fur-babies can’t tell me. So the best we can do is look for someone who we believe is trustworthy and caring. What do I believe? I believe that Amanda and her family are caring and honest. This family has a great capacity for love, and my dogs feel loved when they stay with them. Amanda and her husband have their hands full caring for 5 kids, work schedules, and volunteering in their community. But they also have the energy and organization skills to excel in handling their responsibilities. My dogs have 5 kids/teens to play with them, and that also makes them happy. Their new house currently only has a small enclosure in the back yard. But my furbabies were apparently taken out on a leash regularly. I believe them when they say that they will be enlarging the fenced area in the near future. I do not hesitate to recommend Amanda and her family. If your dogs need a family that takes the time to play, cares for them, and takes time to snuggle with them, I believe this family is your best bet.”
