Jenay kept my 11 month old dog Lucy for a weekend. This was Lucy's first time being away from home. I appreciate Jenay agreeing to me bringing Lucy a few days early to her home to meet her family. Everyone were loving to my puppy. Jenay kept me posted with pictures. She took Lucy for a walk and had plenty of lap time which Lucy loves. My mind was set at ease and I was able to enjoy my vacation. I will use Jenay again and hopefully she is available.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. After recently losing my own beloved dog, I realized how much I miss having dogs around and want to help other pet owners by giving their pets the same love, attention, and care I gave my own. I’m patient, responsible, and enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll care for them like they’re part of my own family. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog with kindness, respect, and lots of affection. I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, so I’m available before and after work for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I’m also available most evenings, weekends, and holidays. I enjoy staying active, so taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving them attention fits naturally into my routine. Also have a backyard, and I work pretty close to my home which I do have dog cameras! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, clean environment. I’ll also provide regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. I have a cane corso his name is Drako, he’s crate trained. He’s a big lover boy who always wants to be cuddled and rubbed!

She is passionate about dogs and definitely recommend her to anyone that needs assistance with their pet. I am very appreciative for everything that she does.

Nicole was attentive, playful with Paris, and made sure she felt right at home. She was also very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire stay.

About: With years of experience in high-end dog training, sitting, and walking, I offer more than just pet care—I provide expert, personalized attention for your dog. I understand canine behavior on a deep level, ensuring your pup feels safe, engaged, and loved while you're away. Whether it’s reinforcing good manners, going on structured walks, or providing calm companionship, I treat every dog like my own. I currently work from home with a flex work schedule, which makes me available for pet care anytime. I can work my schedule to be tailored to your pets needs. I have a large back yard and dogs of my own to keep your fur baby company. For walks, I tailor each to your fur baby’s needs, spending more time outside with high energy dogs, and taking shorter walks for older pets. All walks and care come with the most snuggles.

HoneyBun was well cared for, taken on walks, and Stephanie kept us updated with pictures, videos, and messages throughout her stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing HoneyBun was in such loving and reliable hands. We could tell she was happy, comfortable, and cared for like family. I highly recommend Stephanie W to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond.

About: I have taken care of pets for over 20 years for friends and family. Beau loved to have playmates and loves to have fur baby company!! My love for animals will be noticed immediately when I meet your pet!! I gravitate to them in parks, stores, neighborhood walks and they do to me! My frenchie goes most places either me including to work, stores, tennis club and even Freddy’s! Dogs are family and I will treat yours like mine! I’m available to board pets from Friday afternoon through Sunday nights or early pick up on Monday am. I provide Daycare on Tuesdays. I can often be flexible with individual needs. I have a very nice one story home in beautiful, safe neighborhood. My Frenchie welcomes your pet so he has a playmate or resting buddy. We take walks at least twice daily. House is open floor plan for plenty space to play. We spend time on my large enclosed patio to toss the ball and plenty sitting and relaxing areas. I will always be on patio with pets. They will never be left out without me as my own practice with my Frenchie. Free feeding and water all day unless you requests different. When I leave house the pets will be gated in room separated unless you request your pet crated. My frenchie will also be in separate room. Your pet will love it here with me and Beau! They will get best personal care and plenty attention.

She sent notes with each check in and took pictures as she fed and played with them. 12/10 would recommend her to anyone wanting to make sure their fur babies are in great hands while they’re away!

About: I am a work from home RN which allows me to be present with your babies and give them all the snuggles, treats, walks and play time they could want. My husband and I both have had dogs all of our lives and feel completely comfortable around all types of breeds. We have two dogs of our own and they are so incredibly loved and cared for. We will give you the peace of mind while you are away that your babies are cared for as you would. Since I am home all day, there's very little time your pup will be left alone. I can provide frequent potty breaks, play time and walks. ​We live on a peaceful 1.3-acre property and are one of only three houses on a long, quiet dead-end street with virtually no traffic. We have a massive backyard surrounded by nature with endless room for pups to run and play! ​A quick note on safety: While our large yard is unfenced, your dog's safety is our absolute top priority. If your pup is a wanderer or loves to roam, we are fully prepared to take extra measures—such as using long training lines, continuous supervision, or structured outdoor play—to ensure they get plenty of freedom and exercise without compromising their safety. ​As the proud owner of two dogs myself, I completely understand the anxiety of leaving your furry family members. I treat every guest like my own and promise to keep your babies safe, happy, and loved in your absence!

About: Hi my name is Diane, and I have been caring for dogs, cats, fish and birds most of my life. I will care for your precious babies just like my own. They will receive professional care, love, attention and affection. This is my full time job, if you can call it that. It's a blessing. I have a nice yard and field for walks, and a large covered deck for outside play time in severe weather. I only take one family's pets at a time. So, your babies will get plenty of quality attention and companionship. My home is pet friendly and all safety precautions have been implemented. Your companions will be kept separate from my own for the safety of both parties. I am also comfortable and experienced taking care of special needs pets that might require medications to be administered or other accommodations. I now have a bedroom designated for cats. It has a king size bed and lots of windows for bird watching. I only book one family's cat or cats at a time. I have excellent reviews and references. Thank you for your consideration. This is my full time job. A labor of love. So, caring for your companions will be my top priority. You can feel confident and secure while they're in my care. I will accommodate your companions needs and your requests. All pets are kept safe and attended to at all times. I am trustworthy and reliable.

About: I've watched pets for friends and family since I was a teenager. I am comfortable with all breeds of dogs and cats and will love them like they are my own. I can't wait to meet you and your fur baby. I am currently a stay at home spouse and looking for ways to make extra income doing something I love. I am extremely flexible with my schedule and will make the time to make things work. I have a cat that seems to get along with other animals, but haven't put it to the test too much. I have walked and pet sat for several clients with bigger dogs and that have special needs and am comfortable with them all. I do always try and do a meet and greet before our first visit so your pet can get to know me before they are left alone with me.

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life—at least five of my own since childhood! I’ve learned how to understand their personalities and needs, and even trained my current dog to be calm and social. My home is cozy, welcoming, and set up for a dog’s comfort and routine. I provide the same love, structure, and attention to every pup I watch, making sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I love starting the day with a morning walk and taking another in the evening to wind down. I’m also available on weekends with at least a week’s notice—perfect for when you need a reliable sitter for your pup. In my home, dogs are treated like family. I have a friendly pup who loves making new friends and keeping other dogs company. There’s a cozy space where pets can relax, nap, or be crated if they need their own quiet time. My fenced yard gives them plenty of room for potty breaks and playtime in a safe environment. If I’m caring for your dog in your home, I’ll follow their normal routines to help them feel secure and loved while you’re away. Whether at your place or mine, I focus on creating a peaceful, happy experience for every pup.

Amy has such a wonderful way with animals; you can tell she really loves watching them. She took lots of photos, have Chico lots of attention and even had a pet guestbook for him to sign. Such a cute idea. If you ever need a pet sitter, I highly recommend Amy.

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.

About: I run a 5k every day and can handle large or small dogs. For boarding I have 2 acres of fenced in grass nearby where I run by husky at daily. My experience : I've had dogs in my home since I was 7 and was tasked with their walks and training. I now have a 2yo siberian Husky, Shryko, who I have off-leash trained for hikes and river adventures. So I'm very active, and my dogs have a lot of enriched exploring and exercise. All this with only treats, praise and regular patient consistency. I am a circus artist and entertainer by nights and weekends when the work is available. I spend most week days free at home honing my skill set and arranging bookings. Therefore plenty of time to head out for walks, or break and enrich a dog's day with playtime. I have a fenced in yard and large living room. 1 dog, 8 month 40lb siberian husky girl who loves company and playtime. Also have a large crate if separation is needed.

About: For years my neighbors have relied on me to take care of their four dogs when they are away for weekend trips or even for trips that last over 2 months. Each one had their own personality and I was able to adapt to it and get along with them well. Over the years I have also had my own pets and have taken care of others. I have taken care of animals from cats, snakes, guinea pigs and most of all dogs. I am patient and contempt with taking care of dogs. In all, I've had a lot of experience with animals! I adore animals all the like and have had the best experiences taking care of lovely pets. I'm a part time worker but that's only on the weekends as I have night school. That leaves me plenty of time in the day during the week and weekends to check on your fur babies. I will be able to drop in later at night at around 9:30-11 p.m. If ever in emergencies, I have a fenced yard that is very very roomy for a dog who loves to run around and play outside. I am more than happy to drop into the clients home and even help clean and pick up after the place for comfortable living for their fur baby. I don't make messes and will no matter what pick up after myself. I will always address to the client in emergencies.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our dog walker! From day one, she has been reliable, caring, professional, and truly treats our dog like family. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing that my dog is in such loving and capable hands. She is always punctual, communicates well, and goes above and beyond to make sure my dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. You can tell she genuinely loves animals, and that passion shines through in everything she does. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and compassionate to care for your pet, I highly recommend her services. We are incredibly grateful for all she does and feel lucky to have found her. Five stars aren't enough!

About: While my specialty is cats, I've also had a bit of experience with taking care of dogs. I recently started voulnteering at a local shelter to gain a bit more experience. I've also done some dog sitting for friends and neighbors. Currently, I don't have a traditional job so my schedule is super flexible. I'd be happy to take care of your fur babies any day of the week. I understand that cats have wildly different personalities and will do my best to make them feel comfortable while I'm around. I will spend time with them in whatever way they prefer, whether that's playing, petting or just existing quietly in the same space. With cats especially I do my best to be a calm and quiet presence and unless I have to give them medication or something where I have to get in their personal space, I usually let them come to me to reduce the risk of stressing them out.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. After recently losing my own beloved dog, I realized how much I miss having dogs around and want to help other pet owners by giving their pets the same love, attention, and care I gave my own. I’m patient, responsible, and enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll care for them like they’re part of my own family. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog with kindness, respect, and lots of affection. I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, so I’m available before and after work for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I’m also available most evenings, weekends, and holidays. I enjoy staying active, so taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving them attention fits naturally into my routine. Also have a backyard, and I work pretty close to my home which I do have dog cameras! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, clean environment. I’ll also provide regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. I have a cane corso his name is Drako, he’s crate trained. He’s a big lover boy who always wants to be cuddled and rubbed!

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I strive to make your pet’s routine as seamless and stress-free as possible while you're away. I am completely comfortable with anxious pets and well-versed in administering both pill and topical medications. Whether it’s stimulating walks, endless affection, or gentle patience, your fur babies will receive the exact level of love and dedicated care I give my own girls. You can count on detailed updates and plenty of photos daily—or per visit—so you always have complete peace of mind. I currently have open availability for drop-ins and walks from 7:30 AM to 9:00 PM. As a dog and cat owner myself, my pets always come first—and while your sweet baby is in my care, I will treat them with the exact same love and dedication. I provide personalized, gentle care tailored specifically to your pet's routine in the comfort of their own home. Being away from family can be stressful for our little dudes, so my top priority is making my visits a fun, stress-free highlight of their day, giving your pets extra love and giving you complete peace of mind.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I can play with them, pick up after them, bathe them and make sure they’re happy and well fed. And I can take the dog on short or long walks and make sure they’re happy and safe. Also for house sitting I’ll make sure the house is clean and any messes the dog makes is cleaned up as well I’m a student at an online university, but I am taking a break from perusing my BS in forensic accounting. So I have plenty of time to watch your pets. I have two dogs that I take care of with my family. And they are well cared for and I play with them throughout the day and feed them when they need to be fed.

About: I can do it all from big breeds, to small breeds; from happy breeds, to sad breeds. I’ve also got experience in tending to aggressive animals or animals who react out of fear so don’t worry! Growing up, I had an aggressive pup who people refused to come around and it made things hard on me, I want to give ALL pet parents a chance to feel safe knowing their aggressive or reactive dog is in good hands. I know the do’s and the don’t’s! Animals are a passion and if I could have every animal in the world, I would! Give me a shot to take care of your baby and you won’t regret it! I’m an active duty military member, but I work in a 24hr shop so my schedule shifts a lot. However, that is no issue for me as long as I have a heads up from my clients! I will work with them to create a schedule that best suits both me and the animals! Your animal is now a priority of mine(: I have a 6” vinyl privacy fence with a very large backyard. I have 3 dogs of my own and can accommodate some animals in my home. However, I will need to have your animals formally meet mine before making that decision so that we don’t put anyone in harms way. I will also request an updated shot record for any animals entering my home and will provide you with the same(:

About: I’ve been a go-to pet sitter for friends and family for years, and I truly love spending time with animals. Whether it's going on walks, keeping pets company while their people are away, or sticking to a strict feeding schedule—I bring a lot of patience, care, and attention to each pet’s unique needs. What sets me apart is how present and observant I am. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, from playful pups to shy cats, and adjust my care style to make them feel safe and happy. I’m also highly reliable and communicative, so pet parents can feel totally at ease knowing their furry family member is in good hands. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for daytime walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays depending on your pet’s needs. I’m great at managing my time and can easily build pet care into my routine—whether that’s morning feedings, afternoon playtime, or evening walks. Since I’m saving up to adopt a pet of my own, I’m excited to dedicate consistent time and energy into caring for yours! I always plan ahead to make sure I’m fully present during visits and can give pets my full attention—your pet’s comfort and routine will always be a priority for me. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort always come first. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any specific needs or boundaries before visits begin. I also make sure to keep feeding, walking, and medication schedules consistent to reduce stress for the pet. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the utmost respect—cleaning up after pets, following all house rules, and making sure doors, crates, and gates are secure at all times. I send regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I make sure the environment is clean, pet-safe, and calm—free of hazards, with cozy spots for rest and plenty of time for play and affection. Building trust with both pets and owners matters deeply to me, and I work hard to ensure you feel confident and worry-free when you leave your pet in my care.

Jenay kept my 11 month old dog Lucy for a weekend. This was Lucy's first time being away from home. I appreciate Jenay agreeing to me bringing Lucy a few days early to her home to meet her family. Everyone were loving to my puppy. Jenay kept me posted with pictures. She took Lucy for a walk and had plenty of lap time which Lucy loves. My mind was set at ease and I was able to enjoy my vacation. I will use Jenay again and hopefully she is available.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. After recently losing my own beloved dog, I realized how much I miss having dogs around and want to help other pet owners by giving their pets the same love, attention, and care I gave my own. I’m patient, responsible, and enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll care for them like they’re part of my own family. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog with kindness, respect, and lots of affection. I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, so I’m available before and after work for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I’m also available most evenings, weekends, and holidays. I enjoy staying active, so taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving them attention fits naturally into my routine. Also have a backyard, and I work pretty close to my home which I do have dog cameras! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, clean environment. I’ll also provide regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. I have a cane corso his name is Drako, he’s crate trained. He’s a big lover boy who always wants to be cuddled and rubbed!

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!

About: Animal lover with hands-on experience raising wildlife from a young age and a professional background as a veterinary technician. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all personalities, ages, and medical needs. What sets me apart is the calm, patient, and attentive care I provide — I treat every pet like family and focus on making them feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. Pet care naturally fits into my daily life as I’m currently home all day with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’ve raised wildlife from a young age and also have a background as a veterinary technician, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. My home provides a safe, calm, and loving atmosphere where pets are treated like family. I also currently volunteer at the humane society with my daughter, which reflects how important animal care and compassion are in our everyday lives. I have a fully fenced backyard, plenty of dog toys and treats, and provide a safe, loving environment for pets. We currently do two walks a day with our pup, River, so daily exercise and attention are already part of our routine. We also have two dog-friendly cats that are comfortable around other animals.

We had a great first experience using Rover with Nicole as our pet sitter! Our kitten, Paris, stayed with her for four days and was clearly happy and well cared for when we picked her up. Nicole was attentive, playful with Paris, and made sure she felt right at home. She was also very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire stay. We’re so glad we chose Nicole—definitely a great choice for us!

About: With years of experience in high-end dog training, sitting, and walking, I offer more than just pet care—I provide expert, personalized attention for your dog. I understand canine behavior on a deep level, ensuring your pup feels safe, engaged, and loved while you're away. Whether it’s reinforcing good manners, going on structured walks, or providing calm companionship, I treat every dog like my own. I currently work from home with a flex work schedule, which makes me available for pet care anytime. I can work my schedule to be tailored to your pets needs. I have a large back yard and dogs of my own to keep your fur baby company. For walks, I tailor each to your fur baby’s needs, spending more time outside with high energy dogs, and taking shorter walks for older pets. All walks and care come with the most snuggles.

Stephanie W was absolutely amazing with our dog, HoneyBun. She treated her like a princess from the moment she arrived and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. HoneyBun was well cared for, taken on walks, and Stephanie kept us updated with pictures, videos, and messages throughout her stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing HoneyBun was in such loving and reliable hands. We could tell she was happy, comfortable, and cared for like family. I highly recommend Stephanie W to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond.

Anthony took great care of our girl for a long weekend. He accommodated a late booking request and meet and greet when our other sitter had to cancel unexpectedly. During the stay, he communicated updates and pictures to us daily. Our pup was spoiled with multiple walks per day and given lots of attention. We will be booking stays with Anthony again!
