“Abigail could not have been more amazing with our two pups! We had lots of communication and pictures of them during their stay, and they got lots of love and attention. Highly highly recommend!”

“Missy was a life saver! I was on a trip home while my husband was working late when we got a call from the extended stay hotel about my pups that needed attention quickly. Daisy can be hard to handle during thunderstorms and with strangers, but Missy was able to calm her enough to get her to her house and keep her for the rest of my trip. This is quite the feat considering we'd only left the pups with Missy once before. I can't recommend her enough!”

“Elizabeth and Philip provided the best possible care for my senior dog. I highly recommend them and would have no hesitation in trusting them with my fur baby again.”
“Destinee and her husband took my dog at the last second after another sitter backed out 30 minutes before I was to drop him off. Not only did they help me out in a pinch, but they were absolutely amazing and took wonderful care of my dog. I will 100% use them again in the future.”


“Lucinda was great with our 3 year old Lab. We were able to meet her a few weeks prior to our vacation. Communication was excellent and we got daily updates. Drop off and pick up was a breeze. I would highly recommend!”

“Penny and the whole family are super sweet and perfect to watch your dog my dog Sherman warmed up very quickly and even slept with her teenage son. Definitely will use them again because I have busy work weeks at times. Sherman is a bit much sometimes when he sees other dogs a bit reactive but Penny kept an eye on him and never went out without his leash and collar and made sure all dogs weren't out. He had a blast came home and ran around like a puppy again. Will definitely be using her again.”
“Lori was great! She took very good care of our sweet boy Milo while we on vacation, as well as kept us updated with daily adventures and photos to show us that he was doing well in her care! We were a bit nervous as first being our first time leaving him with a dog sitter, but there is no doubt in our minds that when we need to go out of town again we can have Lori watch him and know he will be in the best hands! Would highly recommend anyone to use her for any dog sitting needs!”

“I had an amazing experience with Jen, and so did my dog Pearl. Pearl is an anxious pup but Jen went above and beyond to keep her calm and happy. I got a ton of photo updates and just felt so relieved and happy knowing that my dog was having a great time while I was away!”

“Was able to book last minute. Erin was very professional and communication was always fast. George was very knowledgeable in dog behavior and made accommodations for my dog's need. I was very satisfied with their service, professionalism and interactions throughout Bella's stay.”

“Lola had an amazing time with Melissa and her family! They sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Lola was treated like part of the family and received lots of love and attention. I would absolutely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter, and we would definitely book with them again!”

“Our pups always have a great time with Allison and Kenneth! They are so flexible and easy to work with and send the best picture updated so we know our babies are happy!”

“First time using Tayla. She was quick to respond to my request. Even though I only left my dog for one night, I appreciate that she sent several pics and updates. He must have had fun because he has been asleep since we got home. I felt really comfortable with the care she provided and plan to use her again soon.”

“Emily did a great job taking care of our dogs. This was our first time leaving them for more than 1 night and I felt confident she was taking good care of them. I think they loved her fenced in back yard.”

“Ziggy seemed to have a great time with Jeremy & Laura! It was only a short stay, but Ziggy seemed happy in the pictures I received from them. I’ll look to use them again in the future to dogsit!”

“Tammy was a godsend. We discussed how we were going to handle buddy because the alternatives were way too expensive. She offered to board buddy, even though she was not listed for boarding on Rover. She changed her preference to be willing to board. My pup is not an easy one to get along with strangers. When I brought Buddy over there, he immediately took to Tammy and started to explore the house and then the fenced backyard. Tammy was so taken with buddy and he took right to her. She sent me cute photos of him during his stay. Because of her obvious bonding and care for buddy allowed me to enjoy my trip with no anxiety. If I ever have to board buddy again, I will certainly request Tammy if her schedule allows it. I would highly recommend her for caring for your pet.”
“We had to find someone last minute to watch our dog Leo , I came across this website and started to read reviews , and if they would take a large dog like Leo. Most sitters didn’t take dogs that wasn’t neutered, or they wouldn’t take him because of his breed. Then I came across Grace’s profile and read all the amazing reviews and read about her history with animals etc , so we knew she was the one. Leo has never been with anyone else besides my fiancé , son & I but as soon as we dropped him off he was already loving it and grace. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and letting us know how Leo was doing. He loves her big backyard and I just know he loved it at Grace’s house. She was very sweet and you can just tell how much she loves and cares about all animals. 10/10 would recommend Grace and we need a dog sitter again we know who to call ☺️”

“Penny seem to settle right in with Elaine and Cal and the regular picture updates we received! Even when I arrived to pick her up, she barely wanted to stop playing and exploring!”

“Ryo was fantastic with our Beagle, Maple. He was incredibly patient and kind and made our dog feel right at home. We would love to work with him again in the future!”

“Kirsten and her husband were amazing with my Teo basset hounds. It was my first time using Rover, so I may have sent her texts everyday yo see how my dogs were doing and she was always nice about it and would send pictures whenever she could. So glad my dogs will be staying with her for Christmas and New Years because I know they will not miss us that much and they will have a great time.”

“Excellent human being. He took care of my cat as if I would have done it myself. He went above and beyond. I will use his services next time without thinking twice. Highly recommended. Duane is the BEST.”

“This was my second time booking with Debbie and she did a great job taking care of my cats again. She sent updates each day and is always a pleasure to talk with. She is a very trustworthy and kind pet sitter- I highly recommend her! ❤️”

About: I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember, having owned and cared for several animals (mostly dogs and cats) throughout the years. I understand that pets are family, and I'm committed to giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve. With hands-on experience in administering medications whether orally, topically, or even intravenously I'm confident in handling pets with special medical needs. Whether your pet requires daily meds, a little extra TLC, or just a fun and safe companion while you're away, I'm here to provide top-notch care. I take pride in making sure every pet in my care feels safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether it's a playful walk, a cozy cuddle, or simply ensuring their routine stays consistent, I treat every pet like my own. I work full time M-F but I am available on evening and weekends to take care of your fur babies! For house sitting I am available from the time I get to your home from work until the time I go back to work the next day and then any time I'm not working you can expect me to be at your home. I am a very trustworthy person especially when it comes to others and there pets. My animals are my children so I only give them the upmost care they deserve and even though some would disagree I totally spoil them too. Animals have always had such a special place in my heart and I feel like I was born to care for them.
About: I am looking to provide love and care for your four legged family! I am a groomer that has been working professionally with dogs for 10+ years. Some of that work has been at a grooming salons and dog training/boarding facility. I have a lot of experience handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. And love cats too! I am looking to provide pet care services to 4 legged friends in your home or drop in visits and walks. I am also able to provide full grooming services for an additional cost, as I am a certified pet stylist. I have two dogs of my own - Bowie and Knoxville. So play dates are an option too! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks :) Sarah My weekday routine involves pick up and drop off with my 2 boys at school and I bartend two evenings a week but I have open flexibility in my schedule outside of those times. The weekends are available completely. If I’m providing care in your home it is an option if you’d like me to stay there or stop in for visits accordingly. I can provide open communication and always provide daily updates.
About: I treat every animal like family and I always aim to leave tails wagging and hearts at ease. With over 9 years of hands-on experience caring for everything from gentle giants like Great Danes to tiny companions like hamsters and frogs, I bring dependable, loving, and knowledgeable care to every pet I meet. I specialize in senior and special-needs pets, including medication administration and mobility support, and I’m confident handling everything from playful puppies to geriatric animals. Pet care has been in my daily routine since childhood, with myself having two senior Great Danes. I am available all weekdays and weekends from any time in the morning to any time at night I am comfortable taking your dog out on a leash if you don’t have a fenced in yard to let your dog out in. I am a quick learner and know how to administer medication. I have nine years of experience handling and caring for two Great Danes. I love to play and cuddle with animals so they get individualized care and attention.
“Sarah is an absolute godsend!! She was able to take care of Dean over the weekend on such short notice—literally night before. She was diligent in following all care instructions, sent pictures every day (so grateful), and was respectful of my home. Will definitely be rebooking if we need drop in visits in the future!”

“Timothy and his wife were really great and very professional. I went out of town for the weekend and one of my dogs has special needs and they were very sweet to her. I would definitely recommend and will be rebooking.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a kid—everything from dogs and cats to livestock, thanks to 10 years in 4-H. That hands-on experience taught me not just how to love animals, but how to read their behavior, keep them safe, and give them the structure they thrive on. I now have a pug named Otis (a total goofball), and I know firsthand how important it is to trust the person watching your pet. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, calm energy, and genuine love for every animal I care for—like they’re my own. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine, quirks, and comfort zones to make sure they’re not just cared for, but actually happy while you’re away. I’m currently in college and working part-time, which gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule. Pet care fits into my daily life really naturally—I love being active, I’m often out walking anyway, and spending time with animals is something that genuinely brings me joy. I’m looking to grow this into a consistent side hustle that doesn’t feel like work—because caring for pets never has. Whether it’s quick drop-ins, long walks, or overnight stays, I make time for each booking and treat every pet like they’re my own. This isn’t just extra income—it’s something I’m committed to doing well. I’ll be caring for your pet in their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I always follow your instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, meds, or just how they like to be tucked in. I treat every pet like family and make sure they’re calm, happy, and cared for while you’re away. You can count on me to keep your home clean and your pet in great hands.
About: I grew up with multiple pets, we often called it the "Cook Family Zoo". I've helped take care of many cats, dogs, turtles, fish and even ferrets at one point! I currently have two dogs a terrier/cattle dog mix and a German shepherd/lab mix puppy! They both are rescues and love to cuddle. I volunteer with a local dog rescue and am a proud foster fail. :) I’m passionate about protecting all furry friends and finding the perfect home for each loving animal. I love all animals, big or small, and do my best to be flexible and communicate with you quickly and thoroughly. I hope you will consider me to help take care of your loved ones and I will be sure to give them lots of love while you're away. Currently working full time but have availability on weekends and most evenings to help out! I also have flexibility at work so depending on your needs can make drop in visits and walks during the day. I work from home occasionally too so I can usually be flexible as needed. If visiting your home I would respect your wishes around routine training, diet and behavior. I typically provide photos and/or text updates of your pet so you know they’re doing well and we’ll looked after even when you’re not able to be there!
About: I’m a SAHM with 3 active kids ages 10,6,5. Animals have been a part of our lives since the day we all could walk. When your animal is in our care we will give them all the love and attention they deserve. We also try and accommodate their normal schedule as much as possible. Whether that be laying and relaxing, or going out for multiple walks. I also have a fenced in back yard for those days where they want to play fetch. We have 2 other pets, one cat and one dog, which both are super laid back. Please make sure your animal loves kids, as they will be around ALOT and will probably over love on your animals ;) Just a house full of love and we love welcoming new ones in! It is now summer break which means.... WE ARE HOME every day! This means tons of walks, play time, nap times, pee breaks. Your animal unless other wise told, will have free roam to our house. We have safety gates that will be put up, if you feel more comfortable them staying in one room. I have a backyard, and if the animal is needing to be crated I can also accommodate that. My animals however, are allowed anywhere in the house that I or my family is allowed. Bedrooms, beds, couches, outside!
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, and have always absolutely LOVED caring for them in every stage of their lives! I have tons of experience from newborn puppies, physically or mentally challenged animals, all the way to senior animals and will be very receptive to any special care instructions you may have for your babies. I currently work part-time with a schedule that changes every week. Any time I have outside of this job I would love to be spending with your pets! I’ll be sure to keep my schedule updated each week. I have a very sweet long haired chihuahua named Baby who would love to come with me when pet sitting! She especially loves cats, but seems to get along with basically any other living thing! :) I have no problem feeding, cleaning up after, walking, and loving your pet in the comfort of their own homes!

About: I have lived with atleast 1 cat my whole life. I have given them medicine, cleaned the litter box and sometimes play outside with them if they like that! I listen to them and follow them when they seem to need or want something!

“Absolutely some of the best caretaking Charlie has had! Lori was great with Charlie. We met beforehand with her sweet pup to make sure the dogs would get along, and I really appreciated her thoroughness and quick communication.

“Shelby was FANTASTIC with our Sherman. He was very nervous when we left him (he has separation anxiety). Not only did he seem to do well after we left (the pictures she sent us spoke volumes about his mood), but when i picked him up he was excited to see us as always but instead of running straight to the car and waiting at the door for us as he usually does when we pick him up from someone he did a couple of excited circles and had to run back to give one of Shelbys pups a kiss goodbye. He often stays with my sister and he loves her and her dogs but he never runs back to the door for any reason. He was so relaxed and clearly worn out feom playing so much. Shelby is terrific. You xan certainly entrust her qith the care of your fur-baby with confidence!”

I’m experienced and comfortable giving pets their medications, injections, nail trims, etc. I’m currently just a homemaker so I have a lot of availability, I would love to spend my free time with animals as they are my passion. Whether I am coming by a couple times a day to take care of your pets or house sitting I am a very by-the-book type of person. I will follow your instruction and guidelines in an organized and detailed manner. My experience in a vet clinic also allows me to feel comfortable with any pet care situation.
About: I treat every animal like family and I always aim to leave tails wagging and hearts at ease. With over 9 years of hands-on experience caring for everything from gentle giants like Great Danes to tiny companions like hamsters and frogs, I bring dependable, loving, and knowledgeable care to every pet I meet. I specialize in senior and special-needs pets, including medication administration and mobility support, and I’m confident handling everything from playful puppies to geriatric animals. Pet care has been in my daily routine since childhood, with myself having two senior Great Danes. I am available all weekdays and weekends from any time in the morning to any time at night I am comfortable taking your dog out on a leash if you don’t have a fenced in yard to let your dog out in. I am a quick learner and know how to administer medication. I have nine years of experience handling and caring for two Great Danes. I love to play and cuddle with animals so they get individualized care and attention.

About: I've had cats since before I was in elementary school. I cat sit for all of my neighbors whenever they go out of town. I currently have one cat who is 4 years old. I am currently transitioning in between jobs so I have much more free time than usual. I have the time and patience to take care of your animals with short notice I can do whatever is needed to help with your daily needs for your animals. I can walk them/crate them, feed, play, take to park, and even send pictures. Happy to help!
About: I am looking to provide love and care for your four legged family! I am a groomer that has been working professionally with dogs for 10+ years. Some of that work has been at a grooming salons and dog training/boarding facility. I have a lot of experience handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. And love cats too! I am looking to provide pet care services to 4 legged friends in your home or drop in visits and walks. I am also able to provide full grooming services for an additional cost, as I am a certified pet stylist. I have two dogs of my own - Bowie and Knoxville. So play dates are an option too! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks :) Sarah My weekday routine involves pick up and drop off with my 2 boys at school and I bartend two evenings a week but I have open flexibility in my schedule outside of those times. The weekends are available completely. If I’m providing care in your home it is an option if you’d like me to stay there or stop in for visits accordingly. I can provide open communication and always provide daily updates.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a kid—everything from dogs and cats to livestock, thanks to 10 years in 4-H. That hands-on experience taught me not just how to love animals, but how to read their behavior, keep them safe, and give them the structure they thrive on. I now have a pug named Otis (a total goofball), and I know firsthand how important it is to trust the person watching your pet. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, calm energy, and genuine love for every animal I care for—like they’re my own. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine, quirks, and comfort zones to make sure they’re not just cared for, but actually happy while you’re away. I’m currently in college and working part-time, which gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule. Pet care fits into my daily life really naturally—I love being active, I’m often out walking anyway, and spending time with animals is something that genuinely brings me joy. I’m looking to grow this into a consistent side hustle that doesn’t feel like work—because caring for pets never has. Whether it’s quick drop-ins, long walks, or overnight stays, I make time for each booking and treat every pet like they’re my own. This isn’t just extra income—it’s something I’m committed to doing well. I’ll be caring for your pet in their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I always follow your instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, meds, or just how they like to be tucked in. I treat every pet like family and make sure they’re calm, happy, and cared for while you’re away. You can count on me to keep your home clean and your pet in great hands.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, and have always absolutely LOVED caring for them in every stage of their lives! I have tons of experience from newborn puppies, physically or mentally challenged animals, all the way to senior animals and will be very receptive to any special care instructions you may have for your babies. I currently work part-time with a schedule that changes every week. Any time I have outside of this job I would love to be spending with your pets! I’ll be sure to keep my schedule updated each week. I have a very sweet long haired chihuahua named Baby who would love to come with me when pet sitting! She especially loves cats, but seems to get along with basically any other living thing! :) I have no problem feeding, cleaning up after, walking, and loving your pet in the comfort of their own homes!
About: I’m a SAHM with 3 active kids ages 10,6,5. Animals have been a part of our lives since the day we all could walk. When your animal is in our care we will give them all the love and attention they deserve. We also try and accommodate their normal schedule as much as possible. Whether that be laying and relaxing, or going out for multiple walks. I also have a fenced in back yard for those days where they want to play fetch. We have 2 other pets, one cat and one dog, which both are super laid back. Please make sure your animal loves kids, as they will be around ALOT and will probably over love on your animals ;) Just a house full of love and we love welcoming new ones in! It is now summer break which means.... WE ARE HOME every day! This means tons of walks, play time, nap times, pee breaks. Your animal unless other wise told, will have free roam to our house. We have safety gates that will be put up, if you feel more comfortable them staying in one room. I have a backyard, and if the animal is needing to be crated I can also accommodate that. My animals however, are allowed anywhere in the house that I or my family is allowed. Bedrooms, beds, couches, outside!
About: I’ve always had an especially loving touch with animals, I’ve got 3 cute cats at home that I help care for and I’ve been professionally cat and dog sitting/walking for a while! Being an avid animal lover, I’ve worked with the Humane Society as a volunteer when I was younger and that’s given me foundational experience caring for all kinds of furry friends, mainly dogs and cats.

“Abigail could not have been more amazing with our two pups! We had lots of communication and pictures of them during their stay, and they got lots of love and attention. Highly highly recommend!”

“Missy was a life saver! I was on a trip home while my husband was working late when we got a call from the extended stay hotel about my pups that needed attention quickly. Daisy can be hard to handle during thunderstorms and with strangers, but Missy was able to calm her enough to get her to her house and keep her for the rest of my trip. This is quite the feat considering we'd only left the pups with Missy once before. I can't recommend her enough!”

“Elizabeth and Philip provided the best possible care for my senior dog. I highly recommend them and would have no hesitation in trusting them with my fur baby again.”
“Destinee and her husband took my dog at the last second after another sitter backed out 30 minutes before I was to drop him off. Not only did they help me out in a pinch, but they were absolutely amazing and took wonderful care of my dog. I will 100% use them again in the future.”

“Penny and the whole family are super sweet and perfect to watch your dog my dog Sherman warmed up very quickly and even slept with her teenage son. Definitely will use them again because I have busy work weeks at times. Sherman is a bit much sometimes when he sees other dogs a bit reactive but Penny kept an eye on him and never went out without his leash and collar and made sure all dogs weren't out. He had a blast came home and ran around like a puppy again. Will definitely be using her again.”
“Lori was great! She took very good care of our sweet boy Milo while we on vacation, as well as kept us updated with daily adventures and photos to show us that he was doing well in her care! We were a bit nervous as first being our first time leaving him with a dog sitter, but there is no doubt in our minds that when we need to go out of town again we can have Lori watch him and know he will be in the best hands! Would highly recommend anyone to use her for any dog sitting needs!”

“I had an amazing experience with Jen, and so did my dog Pearl. Pearl is an anxious pup but Jen went above and beyond to keep her calm and happy. I got a ton of photo updates and just felt so relieved and happy knowing that my dog was having a great time while I was away!”

“Was able to book last minute. Erin was very professional and communication was always fast. George was very knowledgeable in dog behavior and made accommodations for my dog's need. I was very satisfied with their service, professionalism and interactions throughout Bella's stay.”

“Lola had an amazing time with Melissa and her family! They sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Lola was treated like part of the family and received lots of love and attention. I would absolutely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter, and we would definitely book with them again!”

“Our pups always have a great time with Allison and Kenneth! They are so flexible and easy to work with and send the best picture updated so we know our babies are happy!”

“First time using Tayla. She was quick to respond to my request. Even though I only left my dog for one night, I appreciate that she sent several pics and updates. He must have had fun because he has been asleep since we got home. I felt really comfortable with the care she provided and plan to use her again soon.”

“Emily did a great job taking care of our dogs. This was our first time leaving them for more than 1 night and I felt confident she was taking good care of them. I think they loved her fenced in back yard.”

“Ziggy seemed to have a great time with Jeremy & Laura! It was only a short stay, but Ziggy seemed happy in the pictures I received from them. I’ll look to use them again in the future to dogsit!”

“We had to find someone last minute to watch our dog Leo , I came across this website and started to read reviews , and if they would take a large dog like Leo. Most sitters didn’t take dogs that wasn’t neutered, or they wouldn’t take him because of his breed. Then I came across Grace’s profile and read all the amazing reviews and read about her history with animals etc , so we knew she was the one. Leo has never been with anyone else besides my fiancé , son & I but as soon as we dropped him off he was already loving it and grace. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and letting us know how Leo was doing. He loves her big backyard and I just know he loved it at Grace’s house. She was very sweet and you can just tell how much she loves and cares about all animals. 10/10 would recommend Grace and we need a dog sitter again we know who to call ☺️”

“Penny seem to settle right in with Elaine and Cal and the regular picture updates we received! Even when I arrived to pick her up, she barely wanted to stop playing and exploring!”

“Ryo was fantastic with our Beagle, Maple. He was incredibly patient and kind and made our dog feel right at home. We would love to work with him again in the future!”

“Kirsten and her husband were amazing with my Teo basset hounds. It was my first time using Rover, so I may have sent her texts everyday yo see how my dogs were doing and she was always nice about it and would send pictures whenever she could. So glad my dogs will be staying with her for Christmas and New Years because I know they will not miss us that much and they will have a great time.”

“Mac, Oliver and Winston had a wonderful stay with Kelsey!! Loved her communication with pictures! As soon as I dropped them off I knew they were in safe and loving hands!”

“Madison was amazing, she was rhe perfect fit and we are so glad we found her through Rover. She communicated clearly and often and helped put us at ease! Chips for sure has a new friend and we will absolutely use her again”
