“This was my first time using Rover and Sean did a great job. I have two large dogs and had concerns with leaving them at another persons house. We completed a meet and greet, walked the dogs and agreed we would complete the booking process. Sean did a great job of communicating throughout the visit and made sure both of my dogs got plenty of time outside and plenty of walks. Sean went above and beyond for my pups! Will definitely book with him in the future.”

“This is my first time having Stephanie taking care of my dog while I'm out of town for 3 weeks and I'm very glad I did it. Before I commit anything Stephanie is very considering and patient to set up a meet & greet to ensure it will work out. Stephanie also sent me updates and pictures so I can see my dog is doing great without issues. I would definitely recommend Stephanie to my friends or anyone looking for dog boarding.”

“He was absolutely amazing most definitely the best decision I’ve made… I was skeptical at first because I’ve never had to board any of my animals I ever had in my life but I am really happy I chose to this time!!! He sent pictures and videos and he treated Harley like his own!!! I will most definitely recommend him to anyone!!! He also went above and beyond for Harley she has anxiety and scratches/bites herself raw sometimes and he went out and got her a cone to help her stop doing it!!!”

About: For me, pet sitting on Rover is so much more than a job—it is a true passion rooted in 30 years of dedicated animal care experience. Over the decades, I have had the absolute joy of looking after all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats and small animals. I know firsthand that every single pet is a cherished family member with their own unique personality and routine. Because of this lifelong background, I am incredibly adaptable; I know exactly how to keep up with a high-energy puppy, gently comfort a shy senior cat, or carefully manage specialized feeding schedules for your pets. I treat every animal in my care exactly how I would want my own pets to be treated: with endless patience, safety, and deep affection. Leaving a pet can be stressful for owners, so I always leverage my decades of experience to prioritize clear communication, reliability, and daily updates that give families complete peace of mind. I am fully confident in my ability to connect with and care for any type of pet, and I am dedicated to making sure both you and your companion feel completely safe, comfortable, and happy. I currently work as a handy-man so my hours are flexible enough to need your pets every needs from stopping by and playing multiple times a day to sitting with them all day and night. I also have an animal friend home with pleanty of play area and 1 acre of fenced in yard for them to play. My 3 dogs and 3 cats welcome any animal into the household with open paws. My gentle giant st. Bernard and German shepherd are rough enough to play tug of war with the biggest of dogs but gentle enough to cuddle and protect a 5lb teacup Yorkie.

The pictures she sent during our away time, let us know that JoJo was content and happy. Administering his medication was no problem for Shelby. As an added bonus, she had washed his bowls and laundered his blanket and packed ready for pickup. We sincerely recommend Shelby’s home for your dog’s vacation while you are away!”

About: Dependable and professional pet caregiver with a genuine passion for animal well-being. I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication so pet owners can feel confident while away. My goal is to create a calm, comfortable, and positive experience for every pet in my care:) I work from home, so I get to enjoy a full hour lunch break to relax or recharge, & even could let a dog out, and play with your sweet dog while on lunch. On weekends, I’m usually out walking and making the most of my free time outdoors, chilling inside watching Netflix, and could possibly be cuddled on the couch with your doggie! I can take your dog out as many times as needed, a lot of cuddles, & sometimes even playing around with toys. Pets are allowed on furniture, and bed. We love doggies!

About: i am a reliable and trustworthy individual who will provide exceptional care and attention to your pets when you’re away. i’ve taken care of dogs since i was little and have always loved them. As each year has passed, i’ve taken care of more dogs along with other pets like guinea pigs,birds,fish and cats. i’m capable of taking care of senior dogs and ones with special needs. I know what it’s like to care for an old dog that struggles with certain things. they would still get the exact same amount of attention as any other dog would. i’m very compassionate when it comes to animals. your pets needs are first priority. they’re happiness is what matters most. any pet of yours will be loved on, cuddled and cared for with me looking after them i don’t have a job but i’m still quite busy helping my family out during the week with therapy/doctor appointments. my brother is handicapped and so he has to go to therapy a few days a week all the way up in cincinnati which takes half a day. im also helping homeschool my younger brothers during the week. in my opinion i know the weekends would work the best bc I’m usually not doing anything which means that i could have my full attention on your pet(s). however we could always talk in advance about the schedule and i could make take time during the week work if needed They’ll have my full attention. I will always play with them to get them to exercise and have some fun. I can also take them on walks and runs and take them out for potty breaks. if they need to be fed at a certain time or need any type of medicine then that is very important to know in advance. Also knowing if they get along with other people/pets. we don’t want anything bad happening so knowing anything and everything about your pet(s) in advance is highly recommended.

About: Caring for your pet the way you do is most important. We love to be outside and take hikes. We love giving belly rubs and making sure your fur baby is getting one on one attention while on their break. We ask that you bring anything that will make them feel comfortable including bedding, toys, treats and a leash and collar that are sturdy enough for your dog to be walked. While we do love your fur babies no matter how they come please make sure you are honest about house training and how you care for your pet so we can have a heads up. Multiple accidents in the house will increase rates. I am available most days and times. My open availability leaves you with piece of mind knowing there's someone that can help any time of the day. I have a big yard and will be spending lots of time outside. Really big on taking hikes, and playing ball. Staying hydrated will also be priority.non smoker.

About: I am a dog trainer at Feeders Supply Jeffersonville location. Everything I make from this site will go towards my career. I taught my own personal dog how to walk properly, sit, lay, stay, spin, to say his prayers, as well as many more when I had him! I enjoy any and every animal and breed I also have a few snakes. I request to meet the dog with the owner prior to any commitment to ensure they are comfortable with me. I took off house sitting temporarily due to past houses being unlivable. Anything else you would like to know, I am an open book, please feel free to ask! I currently work full time from home as well as dog training once a week as of now. My husband also works from home so someone is available to monitor at all times! My work schedule will be changing soon, however should have the time to do drop by visits if near by. I have two friendly and playful dogs that could be entertaining, but also know how to be patient when necessary. I also have a baby gate to separate pups, if need be. I also have two cats that joined our family that see dogs as other cats. They will end up playing with your dog by the end of their stay, guaranteed!

About: Every pet has their own story-whether it's a specific dance they do before breakfast, a favorite squeaky toy they can't sleep without, or the exact spot on the couch they claim as theirs. As your pet sitter, my favorite job is keeping those unique stories going while you are away. I focus on overnight house sitting because let's face it, pets are happiest in their own beds and I can step into their normal routine. I make sure their meals are right on time, their walk hits all the best sniffing spots, and bedtime always invites plenty of belly rubs and cuddles. I also like the challenge of training a new pup or teaching an old pup a new trick! Retired animal lover with open availability and a true passion for pet care! After retiring, I decided to dedicate my free time to what I love most: keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable. Because I don't have a traditional job to rush off to, your pet gets my full, undivided attention and companionship right in the comfort of their own home. Because I am retired, your home becomes my cozy haven, and your pet becomes my absolute priority. I don't just visit to fill bowls, and take care of "poo"; I step into their world to maintain the exact rhythm of their day so they feel completely safe, loved, and secure. From serving breakfast at their exact favorite hour, every task is done with patience and gentleness. My favorite part of the day is simply being present—whether that’s a lively afternoon game of fetch or laser tag, a gentle grooming session, or just sitting quietly on the couch so they have a warm lap to curl up on. I treat your home with the utmost respect and your pet like a cherished member of my own family, giving you total peace of mind and giving them a companion who truly loves being there.

“Breagha is a friendly pup but with all the recent changes in our lives has become pretty velcro with me. She took to Allie immediately and trusted her enough to trot out across the porch without me. She willingly went out in the yard for a short walk. Allie’s kind gentle personality is a perfect match for a sensitive collie.”

About: I have been around and grown up with pets for my 28 years of life. I have experience with puppies, dogs, kittens, cats, also fish, farm animals. I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was a teenager. I enjoy making sure your fur babies are happy, safe, and stress free while your traveling or away! I am currently working a full time job but I only work 14 days a month. I am able to be away from home for extended periods of time due to not having children or many home responsibilities that my spouse cant handle! I always will provide timely potty breaks. I am able to clean up any messes made in the home to the best of my ability, I will be sure to stick to any schedules given to the best of my ability and if im not able to offer them I will inform the client so they can choose how to proceed! I treat others home like my own and ensure the best outcome possible!

About: I started taking care of animals when I was eight. Since then, I have cared for guinea pigs, rabbits, a tarantula, fish, chickens, cows, and of course cats and dogs of various ages. Typically, I will set up a phone call or meet and greet before officially booking. This helps to make sure owners and I are have the same expectations and to meet your adorable pets. I am a full time college student, so my availability is flexible. I am available to check in or stay overnight with your pets. Walking is also something I love to do for exercise or a study break. I currently live in an apartment with a roommate's cat that scares easily with other animals. Therefore, I will only sit in owner homes. I look forward to having a proper place to make a loving dog a home at. When I watch pets in other homes, I like to follow whatever regimen the owner has in place. I have found animals adapt to a new person in their territory when they stick to a routine and are in a familiar place.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong attention to detail and the level of care and communication I provide. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I’m experienced with both puppies who need consistency and positive reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may require extra patience, monitoring, or medication. I prioritize clear, ongoing communication by regularly checking in with owners, sending updates and photos, and making sure they feel confident about how their pets are doing. I’m also happy to help with small errands, such as picking up pet supplies or essentials, to make time away as stress-free as possible. I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with care and respect. Not scared of dirty work, cleaning litter boxes, wiping paws and administering meds. I currently work from home part time and have a flexible schedule. So I I have a lot of flexibility, for overnights and dropping by during the day. I provide pet care exclusively in the client’s home, allowing pets to remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, dietary needs, exercise, and daily routines. Care includes providing fresh water, playtime, walks if needed, companionship, and administering medications as directed. I also maintain cleanliness by cleaning litter boxes, cages, and pet areas, and I ensure the home is left tidy and secure after each visit. I prioritize the pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being while providing regular updates to owners for peace of mind.

About: I have a few years of training puppies and senior care of dogs/cats under my belt. I was pre-vet in college, so I am qualified to deal with all kinds of furry (and not so furry) friends. I work from home 2-5 hours a day so I have plenty of time to hang out with my animal friends!! I workout a ton outside and would love an exercise partner. Most weekends I am either outside gardening or hanging with my own dog. Dogs- I own a doodle and am prepared with how to deal with dogs of all ages. Cats- I do not own any cats, but cat-sit my neighbors cat all the time. Lots of experience with them. All other furry friends- Since I was pre-vet, I was trained on how to deal with all kinds of animals. I have an invisible fence for my dog and I do live in a neighborhood. Most of my neighbors either don’t have dogs (so they won’t become aggressive with yours) or have pets that have crossed the rainbow bridge.

About: i am a reliable and trustworthy individual who will provide exceptional care and attention to your pets when you’re away. i’ve taken care of dogs since i was little and have always loved them. As each year has passed, i’ve taken care of more dogs along with other pets like guinea pigs,birds,fish and cats. i’m capable of taking care of senior dogs and ones with special needs. I know what it’s like to care for an old dog that struggles with certain things. they would still get the exact same amount of attention as any other dog would. i’m very compassionate when it comes to animals. your pets needs are first priority. they’re happiness is what matters most. any pet of yours will be loved on, cuddled and cared for with me looking after them i don’t have a job but i’m still quite busy helping my family out during the week with therapy/doctor appointments. my brother is handicapped and so he has to go to therapy a few days a week all the way up in cincinnati which takes half a day. im also helping homeschool my younger brothers during the week. in my opinion i know the weekends would work the best bc I’m usually not doing anything which means that i could have my full attention on your pet(s). however we could always talk in advance about the schedule and i could make take time during the week work if needed They’ll have my full attention. I will always play with them to get them to exercise and have some fun. I can also take them on walks and runs and take them out for potty breaks. if they need to be fed at a certain time or need any type of medicine then that is very important to know in advance. Also knowing if they get along with other people/pets. we don’t want anything bad happening so knowing anything and everything about your pet(s) in advance is highly recommended.

“This was my first time using Rover and Sean did a great job. I have two large dogs and had concerns with leaving them at another persons house. We completed a meet and greet, walked the dogs and agreed we would complete the booking process. Sean did a great job of communicating throughout the visit and made sure both of my dogs got plenty of time outside and plenty of walks. Sean went above and beyond for my pups! Will definitely book with him in the future.”

“This is my first time having Stephanie taking care of my dog while I'm out of town for 3 weeks and I'm very glad I did it. Before I commit anything Stephanie is very considering and patient to set up a meet & greet to ensure it will work out. Stephanie also sent me updates and pictures so I can see my dog is doing great without issues. I would definitely recommend Stephanie to my friends or anyone looking for dog boarding.”

“He was absolutely amazing most definitely the best decision I’ve made… I was skeptical at first because I’ve never had to board any of my animals I ever had in my life but I am really happy I chose to this time!!! He sent pictures and videos and he treated Harley like his own!!! I will most definitely recommend him to anyone!!! He also went above and beyond for Harley she has anxiety and scratches/bites herself raw sometimes and he went out and got her a cone to help her stop doing it!!!”

About: For me, pet sitting on Rover is so much more than a job—it is a true passion rooted in 30 years of dedicated animal care experience. Over the decades, I have had the absolute joy of looking after all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats and small animals. I know firsthand that every single pet is a cherished family member with their own unique personality and routine. Because of this lifelong background, I am incredibly adaptable; I know exactly how to keep up with a high-energy puppy, gently comfort a shy senior cat, or carefully manage specialized feeding schedules for your pets. I treat every animal in my care exactly how I would want my own pets to be treated: with endless patience, safety, and deep affection. Leaving a pet can be stressful for owners, so I always leverage my decades of experience to prioritize clear communication, reliability, and daily updates that give families complete peace of mind. I am fully confident in my ability to connect with and care for any type of pet, and I am dedicated to making sure both you and your companion feel completely safe, comfortable, and happy. I currently work as a handy-man so my hours are flexible enough to need your pets every needs from stopping by and playing multiple times a day to sitting with them all day and night. I also have an animal friend home with pleanty of play area and 1 acre of fenced in yard for them to play. My 3 dogs and 3 cats welcome any animal into the household with open paws. My gentle giant st. Bernard and German shepherd are rough enough to play tug of war with the biggest of dogs but gentle enough to cuddle and protect a 5lb teacup Yorkie.
