“Sharon was awesome, she took good care of my dogs and was really flexible when I had to adjust my schedule due to a missed flight. I definitely recommend her.”
“Waffles and Dobby had a great time and had amazing care. Ashley, Mike, and the Kids treated our pups like family. This was Dobby’s first time away from us and they did great with him. Waffles and Dobby got lots of play time and lots of love. They sent plenty of photos and gave updates a couple times a day. Will definitely be using them next time we need a sitter.”
“I love Samantha. So does my puppy. What’s not to love? We have had her sit Elvis a few times now and are always so happy about his stay! She sends photos and updated often - and replies fast. Laika (her dog) is Elvis’s new bestie!!! Samantha even bought Elvis more food because he ran out before we even had time to panic!!! She is amazing.”
“Natasha was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Beans! From the very beginning, she was kind, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure Beans was happy and comfortable. We loved getting updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Beans was well cared for and received plenty of attention and love. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would happily book Natasha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter. Thank you, Natasha, for taking such amazing care of Beans! 🐾💕”
“This was my pet’s first overnight stay with Jacklyn, and her first extended overnight with any non-family member. My pet was so well taken care of, and I got regular pup-dates on how she was doing! Jacklyn is polite, professional, courteous, and was so sweet with my pet. We look forward to using her services again another time!”
“First time using Mary for our boys George and Frank on a week long trip. Having recently moved from the PNW we have had to find our new “dog people” and this has been very anxiety provoking! Mary was great with them and sent me pictures throughout the week, we added on baths at the end of the week so they were fresh for our return. We will absolutely send them to Mary’s for our future vacations ?”
“Jackson came through for me at the last minute and watched my dog right before I had to leave for vacation. He provided great communication and really saved our trip. Thanks so much, Jackson!”
“Can't recommend enough! My dog is a senior dog that needs some special medication and attention and Bowen has been so kind and sweet towards him and tend to his needs. ❤️”
“The duo took in my very nervous babies at the last minute. That matters because sometime life happens and preparation meets unexpected events. They are with me now and it is all worth it.”
“Melissa was awesome! She took such good care of Pacey while we were on our trip, and treated him like one of the family! She sent us pictures and messages to let us know how our boy was doing! I hope our baby can stay with her again this summer!!”
“We had Yvette watch over our Cavapoo Toby for the day while we were at the wedding at Indianapolis and she was amazing. She sents us updates and Toby come home happy, tired and relaxed.highly recommend and will be using her again if we visiting to Indiana.”
“William and his wife were incredible. Super nice humans and I feel very comfortable leaving my dog with them. They even let us have a little later pick up time due to an unfortunate circumstance with our flight canceling. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had pets and farm animals my entire life. I know their needs and prioritize making sure they are met. I am thoughtful, attentive and caring to all! As a full-time remote professional, pet care integrates seamlessly into my daily routine without disrupting my work. My schedule allows me to work comfortably from my home office desk while providing your dog with consistent supervision, regular companionship, and frequent outdoor breaks in my securely fenced backyard. Because I do not offer neighborhood walks, my focus remains entirely on structured indoor play, mental enrichment, and easy access to yard exercise. I strictly care for a limited number of low-maintenance guest dogs at a time. This deliberate limit guarantees that your pet fits perfectly into my balanced workday, receiving high-quality, individual attention and a premium, stress-free stay. Because I work from home full-time, your pet will enjoy a highly structured, reliable routine with constant human company. My home office setup allows me to provide continuous supervision and easy, frequent access to the outdoors throughout the day. For safety, guest pets have a dedicated, pet-proofed space separate from our family areas, and I always feed animals individually to ensure a completely stress-free mealtime. I strictly follow your specific instructions for feeding, medication, and crating to keep your pet’s routine identical to what they enjoy at home.
“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter than Kelsey for our cat. We received daily updates and fun pics and Kelsey also went above and beyond to keep our spoiled cat comfortable with her usual habits 😄. I’m happy to recommend Kelsey to anyone and I hope she will always be available when we need care for Rain.”
“Stacy is so awesome! Our fur baby Gambit is always well cared for. Stacy is also very responsive and sends updates throughout the stay. She’s our first choice whenever we need a sitter. Would highly recommend!”
“Our dog loved staying with Nicole & her family! She was responsive & sent us pictures and updates daily! She made sure that our dog felt like he was part of their family! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe family to watch their family while they are away! I will be using Nicole again in the future!”
“Graham had a great time at Claudia’s house! She sent us pictures and kept a log of all of his activities for us to see when we picked him up. Graham was certainly well taken care of while we were gone. Thank you Claudia!”
“Destinee was wonderful! She communicated so well and sent pictures throughout our dog’s stay. She treated him as if she’s known him forever! We can’t thank Destinee enough for looking after our buddy. We will definitely rebook with her again. She’s wonderful!”
“Kathryn and Garrison took such good care of our Mabel while we were out of town! It ended up being a vacation for Mabel too - she got lots of love and enjoyed running around their backyard! We appreciated the consistent communication and they made sure to understand Mabel’s needs, which put our minds at ease. Would definitely recommend this pair!”

“Gigi was kind and easy to communicate with and I came home from a few days away to three happy cats! I appreciated that she made the time to video chat with me beforehand since we were unable to coordinate an in-person meet and greet.”
“Lindi was great navigating two cats of different ages with needs. We got daily updates of play time, she was able to manage our older cat’s mediations and was fast and responsive and easy to plan with. Thank you Lindi for taking such great care of our pets!”
“2nd time having Natalie check on our two cats, this time for several days in a row. She is reliable, trustworthy, good communication, and does an excellent job all around!”
“Raven really liked Jamie! She’s usually very shy and tends to run and hide whenever we have guests, so it meant a lot to see her feel so comfortable with Jamie. Jamie is wonderful with cats, and she sent the sweetest photos and videos while I was away. I highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Could not reccomend Patrick more highly!! He watched our kitties for a 5 day period and went above and beyond. Sent us pictures, gave them pets and treats, and even watered our plants and flowers. He was very communicative and our cats seemed very happy and relaxed when we got home. I will be booking Patrick for all of our pet sitting needs moving forward : ).”
“Ellen is the only person we trust with our fur babies! My cranky old cat requires daily medication and Ellen always makes sure he takes it, even though he protests, haha. We always rebook Ellen because she is professional, a hard worker and so kind to my babies while I’m away. 10/10 recommend!”
“She did an amazing job with my two cats. Made sure all of their stuff was clean and even vacuumed, and swept the floor as well as took out the trash. None of those things I asked for. By far the best pet sitter I’ve hired.”
“My husband and I traveled out of the country for a week, and Cozette was absolutely wonderful with our 2 cats. She sent us photos and a note about both cats every day during each visit. We felt confident all week that our cats were being cared for exactly how we would. 10/10”
“Maddie was great with my cat Momo while I was away! She followed all the instructions and gave me updates every day. I was able to fully enjoy my vacation knowing he was being checked on regularly.”
“Christy is amazing! Wonderful personality, responsible, easily follows complex directions and was flexible with our changing needs. Came through for us in a pinch and we will definitely be having Christy over to take care of puppies and kittens again.”
About: I’ve had cats for the past three years and have primarily been responsible for their day to day care. I’m experienced with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, grooming, and making sure they have a safe and comfortable environment. I understand that every cat has a different personality and comfort level, so I’m patient and willing to give them space while they get to know me. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with cats and making sure they feel happy and cared for.
“Claire was absolutely wonderful! We needed Claire twice a day for an entire week. Our dog has been the only pet in our home for several years and she likes her alone time a lot so a Pet Hotel was not going to be a good fit for her. At the last minute I found Rover and decided to give it a try. It was super easy to look though our choices, contact which "petgivers" we liked, and then book the days and times we needed. Claire accepted our booking and even came over a couple hours later to meet Brownie, we were leaving the next day super early. Not only did Claire accept us with a last minute booking but she came to meet Brownie that night and she was super sweet and very professional. I can't say enough good things about her, so here are a few: - She was very prompt with the times we had scheduled. - She communicated with us about things, for instance the temp dropped to low 30's which we didn't plan for and had not turned on the heat, she contacted us to let us know the temp in the house was 50 degrees and asked if we wanted her to turn the heat on. - She went above and beyond our expectations. - Most importantly our Furry Family Member loved having her around. I would definitely use Claire again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to look in on their furry loved one.”
“Ethan took amazing care of my two cats while I was on a 2 week vacation! He updated me after each drop-in and I loved seeing the photos he took. My kitties and I recommend!!”
“We love Mary B. AKA Elle!!! She goes above and beyond to do whatever our kitties need. Our trip was so much more pleasurable knowing our cat family was in such good hands. We trust her totally and appreciate the extra care and love she shows our babies.”

“Tolu was a great person to work with. We used him on 3 different days for daycare services as we toured the city. He was very flexible with drop off and pickup times as they changed each day. Zeke loved his time with Tolu!!”
“Let me first say, I was a little skeptical about using Jackson. But once I met him, some of those worries washed away. I still worried, but throughout the day Jackson communicated and sent photos and my worries washed away. Jackson is the ultimate professional and Milo was extremely happy and pooped when we picked him up. Finding out Jackson offers other services, and I think we have found our new EVERYTHING. I'm already reaching out for a booking tomorrow.”
“Dayana was an amazing dog sitter! Her communication was excellent, and she made sure to send cute pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She provided a safe and comfortable environment, and my puppy came home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I would definitely recommend Dayana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”

“We have been very lucky to find Mary only minutes away from our home. We have dropped our puppy, Mario, at Mary’s twice now and both times, he came home exhausted and slept very well. Mary sent pics during the day to keep us updated and is very quick to respond to texts.”
About: I've had a lifelong fascination with animals and zoology that led me to learning as much as I could about animals. I've been particularly fond of canines, leading me to become a certified dog behaviorist in 2020. I've had 2 dogs of my own, both mid sized mixed breeds, and helped take care of family and friends pets, dogs as small as chihuahuas and large as rotties. I'm self employed and work from home. I'm very flexible and can adjust to specific feeding or medicine times, and can keep near constant supervision if need be. I feel strongly about pets being treated with kindness and patience. I enjoy cuddling and playing games with them. I'll be happy to adjust to the pets individual needs and owner requests.

“Emily was our first Rover experience! We were so pleased with her level of communication. She took great care of our pups and entertained them while we went to a basketball game. They were both happy and calm when we returned. We’d use Emily again without hesitation. Thanks for helping our stay in Indianapolis go so smoothly! Now, only if the Fever had won!!”
About: Since age 3 I’ve been caring for dogs of my own dogs I’ve saved from outside etc. My heart for all animals has been big since a very young age I’d go above & beyond to make sure a pet is healthy , safe & happy . I’m a stay at home mom and with that I have a lot of extra time on my hands each and every day Monday - Friday I have a fenced in yard , a very big backyard for running and playing , I take daily walks and I make sure dogs are fed & entertained as human
“Kathryn and Garrison were beyond amazing. We were passing through town on a road trip. We stopped in Indianapolis for the museum and they hung out with our dog while we were at the museum. They were incredibly thoughtful and generous and took wonderful care of June.”
“Pete had a good time. Tonya is very easy to work with and was accommodating with my weird work schedule. You can tell she likes dogs. I'm sure we will be back in the future.”
About: Walk. Wag. Repeat. 🐾 Hi, I’m Sebastian! Animals have always been the center of my world, and my business, Silly Moose & Co, is named in honor of my late, beloved dog, Layla. Her nickname was "Silly Moose," and she taught me everything about patience, unconditional love, and the joy of a wagging tail. I founded this business to carry on her legacy by treating every pet I meet with that same "Moose-sized" love. 📬 The "Pet's Best Friend" Professional By day, I’m a Letter Carrier, which truly makes me a pet's best friend! I’m out in the community every day, rain or shine, and I’ve mastered the art of making friends with every pup on the block. My career means I am exceptionally reliable, punctual, and used to being active in all types of weather. 🐾 Rescue-Tested Experience When I’m not on my route, I’m dedicated to rescue work. I am a current volunteer at Sketchy Mutts and Underdogs, and I previously spent time with the ASPCA as a shelter walker and dog photographer. These roles have given me invaluable experience with all personality types—from the shyest "underdogs" needing a patient hand to high-energy pups ready for an adventure. 🐈⬛ Tailored Care for Cats While the dogs are out walking, the feline family members aren't forgotten! I offer tailored services specifically for cats. As a "servant" to two cats who rule my own home, I know that every cat is unique—whether they want high-energy laser chasing, gentle brushing, or just some quiet company. I’m happy to handle feedings, litter box maintenance, and plenty of "slow blinks." 🏠 My "Moose" Crew at Home My home is shared with Buttercup, my sweet 5-year-old blue nose Staffordshire Terrier, and my two feline house-rulers. Because I live with a Staffy, I am especially comfortable and experienced with "bully breeds" and larger, powerful dogs. 🤝 The Silly Moose Promise Whether it’s boarding, walking, or house sitting, I know your pets are your family. My background in hospitality and community work means I bring a high level of reliability, attention to detail, and clear communication to every booking. Ready to start the cycle? Let’s Walk. Wag. Repeat. I am a Letter Carrier for the United States Post Office, I love animals and will always make time to meet new friends. I am in a transition phase in my career post injury and am trying to be a full time pet friend. At Silly Moose & Co, my care philosophy is built on the cycle of Walk. Wag. Repeat. I believe that a happy pet is one that feels safe, stimulated, and understood. Here is how I ensure your furry family member gets the best experience: 1. Building Trust Through Patience Every pet has a unique "vibe." Drawing from my experience with Sketchy Mutts and Underdogs, I never force a connection. I use "slow blinks" with cats and respectful body language with dogs to let them come to me. Whether they are shy rescues or high-energy "Silly Mooses," I meet them where they are. 2. Structured Walks & Sensory Play As a Letter Carrier, I know the streets like the back of my hand. I don’t just "walk" dogs; I provide structured outings. This includes sniffing breaks for mental stimulation (sensory play) and consistent pacing to ensure they get the physical exercise they need. 3. Meticulous Routine & Safety Pets thrive on consistency. I stick strictly to your feeding, medication, and bathroom schedules. My background in hospitality means I have a sharp eye for detail—I check water bowls, ensure gates are latched, and keep litter boxes "deep-clean" fresh for my feline clients. 4. Communication is Key I know how much you miss them! You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can see the "Wag" in action. I treat your home with the same respect I give my own, ensuring everything is secure and tidy. 5. Specialized Skills From handling "bully breeds" like my Staffy, Buttercup, to administering medications or even bathing a reluctant cat, I have the hands-on experience to handle the unexpected with a calm, steady hand.
About: Ever since I’ve was little I’ve always was involved with animals in some kind of way and once I turned 14 I start training dogs and just being more involved with every animal. My plan is to be a veterinarian one day but until then I plan on taking care of and interacting with so many animals until then ( i do not currently own any pets). Well I work for my self so I’m home majority of the day anyways so taking a walk, or going to a sitting will never be a problem since my schedule is 100% free I have beds, toys and different types of food set up for any boarding that I might have and I also have a huge fenced in back yard for play time and even on rainy days I have a pet play area set up in my garage(it’s attached to my home and heated) to play in on rainy days I have a fenced in yard so that they can play outside as much as they want, I’m even setting/building my back yard more just to accommodate dogs with certain special needs that can’t do certain things. I also listen to pet parent needs and will help with Leash training/basic commands even going to potty throughout their stay
About: I provide structured, attentive pet care backed by professional dog training experience. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments — from young puppies learning routines to high-energy and large breeds that require confident handling. As the owner of SecureK9s, I’ve helped raise and care for over 100+ German Shepherds across the Midwest and have guided 50+ dogs through structured board and train programs. Because of this background, safety, supervision, and clear communication are always my top priorities. Dogs staying with me receive more than basic sitting — they get consistency, routine, exercise, and calm leadership in a home environment. I focus on making pets feel secure, comfortable, and cared for while keeping owners updated and confident their dog is in experienced hands. I work from home and spend my days actively caring for and working with dogs, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. Dogs in my care are never left alone for long periods and are included in a structured daily routine that includes potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, and relaxation time. Because dog care and training are already part of my everyday schedule, I’m able to easily integrate boarding, drop-ins, or daycare into my routine while maintaining a calm and safe environment. Your pet will receive regular interaction, monitoring, and care as part of my daily lifestyle. Dogs stay in a secure home with supervision, structured care, and regular walks or exercise at a nearby park just steps away. I’m Very flexible!
About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life, and love them deeply. I volunteered with a cat rescue for 5 years, and last year started volunteering with a pitbull rescue, including doggy days out, events, and fostering. I wake up around 8am and feed my cat before letting my dogs out in the backyard for a potty break and to run around for a bit. I feed them and let them in to eat, and then play with them periodically while I work, and let them outside every two hours or so. If work allows, I take them for a midday walk as well. In the evening we hang out on the couch while I read or watch a show, and then they are crated for bedtime until we wake up. I have a fenced in backyard and two friendly dogs to play with. Both are happily crated at bedtime or when we leave the house.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of animals, including large dogs, cats with different personalities and needs, and even rabbits. This has helped me become adaptable, patient, and attentive to the unique care each animal requires. Whether it’s managing the energy of larger dogs, understanding the subtle behaviors of cats, or providing gentle care for smaller animals, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I believe every pet is an individual, and it’s important to take the time to observe and meet their specific needs. I approach all animals with the same level of care, attention, and respect that I give my own. I am currently taking a month off from work to allow myself some much needed self care time before I transition into pursing a Vet Tech degree. When I inevitably get back into a standard part time job, still allowing myself the time to focus on bettering myself- I will always ensure I have enough time to care and love for animals in my care as if they were my own. As of now, I will be available round the clock for care- as early as 6am and as late as 10pm. For all animals- I will ensure that I follow all instructions left- because we all care for our fur babies in our own ways. But what is non negotiable is ensuring they are safe and content at all times.
“Gigi was very communicative during the week she watched our pups. She took great care of our pups and was flexible when we had a medical emergency with our one dog. We truly appreciated her watching our babies while we were out of the country.”
“Luke has been a very thoughtful, kind, and responsible walker. Top notch communication, takes the cutest pictures of the puppers, just handles the dogs really well. And I have two large and occasionally difficult to manage German shepherds... 10/10 would recommend!”
“Maddie is amazing! Loki always loves her walks. She always sends cute pictures and keeps me updated. It’s so great to have someone so dependable and who my dog loves to walk her on days I work.”
“Lindi is amazing, I just had hip surgery and my one year old golden retriever Bruce has lot of energy needs his Daily walks.. Bruce loves her and she always on time…”
About: Former doggy daycare employee, multi-year animal shelter volunteer, and pet sitter extraordinaire for friends and family. I am currently doing Rover full-time, so have a really flexible schedule. I love all animals big and small, but especially enjoy caring for dogs and cats. Not discriminatory toward any breed of dog. I am huge on sending photos and updates while caring for your pets! I have extremely flexible availability currently and do my best to review and update my calendar every day to ensure it is up to date. I am happy to stay overnight in your home if preferred, and/or do late night and early morning check-ins! I am reliable and understand I am fortunate to have the opportunity to care for your animals. I will be respectful of your privacy and space, and will treat your pets and home as if I am caring for my own.
“Christy did an awesome job with my senior dog! She was very patient with her and asked great questions at the meet and greet. I already rebooked Christy for next month.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have always been actively involved in caring for them. I’ve been responsible for feeding, walking, playing with, bathing, and making sure they are happy, safe, and comfortable. While I don’t have professional pet-sitting experience, caring for my own dogs has given me years of hands-on experience with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals! I currently have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my routine. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and sitting, and I can work with owners to find times that fit their pets’ needs. I provide care in the client’s home rather than my own, as I have two cats of my own. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Hi there! A little about myself... My love of animals started at a very early age! I grew up on a ranch with a plethora of animals, always several dogs. Anywhere from German Shepherds to Pomeranians, I love ‘em all! My mother was a dog and horse trainer and breeder and I was her sidekick. I currently have a very sweet older Pomeranian, a younger Pomeranian and a Great Pyranese and have oodles of personal experience with obedience training, senior care and general doggie fun. I try to adjust my communication to my clients (sometimes you want a vacation from your pets too) and create an environment in which your pets don’t even notice you’ve been gone! ***Please see below for drop off, pick up times, what to bring in case of boarding*** For house sitting, I am available to stay with your pets when I am not at school and overnight. ***Please note currently I am only offering house sitting services due to a lack of space outdoor space and ideal setup. I am able to provide boarding for smaller dogs only(>15lbs)*** I am available most days, and usually last minute. That being said, I rely on a schedule so please be on time for drop off and pick up! Let me know what your pup needs and I’ll make sure he/she is taken care of, whether it be playing fetch in my large backyard, training with healthy treats, exploring the neighborhood, going for rides to the park, or having a lazy day napping with my Pomeranian.:) ***Please make sure to bring 3 things to keep your pooch comfortable: Food/bowl(if needed), leash (for adventuring) and bed/kennel (a place that smells like home). The reason I like to ask these be brought is 1. Changing diets can be stressful on the digestive system, 2. Not every leash fits every dog, and 3. Dogs use their nose much like we use our eyes, nervousness or excitement can be mitigated by the smells of home. Drop off can be as early as 6:30am and pick up as late as 8pm. Any earlier or later will need to modify the reservation to the prior/following day respectively.*** Pick up time can be up to a half hour window.(ie. 2-2:30) I do ask that a pick up time be set by the owner at drop off. Please arrive within your selected window to avoid late fees. When boarding, I like to keep any animals with me at all times because, well I honestly enjoy their company! I have a large fenced backyard and a large air conditioned house as well, so no matter the weather your pup will always be comfortable! When I am house sitting, I live full time at your home. My limitations are work related and we can discuss your expectations and your pet’s needs to make sure it’s a good fit. Please note, I am not available for full time house sitting requiring my presence 24/7.
“Deontae was great! I have an anxious and high energy herding dog who can be a handle full, but didnt phase Deontae at all. He also had great communication. I definitely plan on using him again.”

My background in hospitality and community work means I bring a high level of reliability, attention to detail, and clear communication to every booking. Ready to start the cycle? Let’s Walk. Wag. Repeat. I am a Letter Carrier for the United States Post Office, I love animals and will always make time to meet new friends. I am in a transition phase in my career post injury and am trying to be a full time pet friend. At Silly Moose & Co, my care philosophy is built on the cycle of Walk. Wag. Repeat. I believe that a happy pet is one that feels safe, stimulated, and understood. Here is how I ensure your furry family member gets the best experience: 1. Building Trust Through Patience Every pet has a unique "vibe." Drawing from my experience with Sketchy Mutts and Underdogs, I never force a connection. I use "slow blinks" with cats and respectful body language with dogs to let them come to me. Whether they are shy rescues or high-energy "Silly Mooses," I meet them where they are. 2. Structured Walks & Sensory Play As a Letter Carrier, I know the streets like the back of my hand. I don’t just "walk" dogs; I provide structured outings. This includes sniffing breaks for mental stimulation (sensory play) and consistent pacing to ensure they get the physical exercise they need. 3. Meticulous Routine & Safety Pets thrive on consistency. I stick strictly to your feeding, medication, and bathroom schedules. My background in hospitality means I have a sharp eye for detail—I check water bowls, ensure gates are latched, and keep litter boxes "deep-clean" fresh for my feline clients. 4. Communication is Key I know how much you miss them! You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can see the "Wag" in action. I treat your home with the same respect I give my own, ensuring everything is secure and tidy. 5. Specialized Skills From handling "bully breeds" like my Staffy, Buttercup, to administering medications or even bathing a reluctant cat, I have the hands-on experience to handle the unexpected with a calm, steady hand.

“Raven is very nice, quiet and unobtrusive. She has been flexible figuring where to walk my dogs with all the snow on the ground. I really look forward to the days she comes to walk the dogs!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was little and have been an animal lover my whole life. My family and friends have allowed me to watch their pets for them and walk them when they need extra help. I’m in grad school, so my evenings are pretty free after 4. I’m also available on most weekends, it just depends on my class schedule. I do have a cat, but he is friendly and get along with other dogs. I have the space to keep them separated if needed.
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, both family dogs and dogs of my own, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pup. I have experience with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, including high-energy, active dogs and dogs who may be reactive or need a little extra patience and attention. I’d love to help care for your pup through short or long walks, playtime, and drop-in visits. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind when you can’t be there. Please feel free to reach out with any questions about me or the care I can provide! To make the experience as comfortable as possible for both you and your pup, I do ask for a meet-and-greet before our first scheduled service. I am available Wednesday to Sunday before 10am and after 4pm Full availability in weekends . I can also do quick stops during the day. My main focus is safety around other dogs and strangers. I fully understand not every pet is a social butterfly and wants to greet others (people or dogs) so in my out time I focus in physically and mental stimulations by exposing them to new smells, fetching ( if possible or available) and other one on one activities.
About: i have taken care of both cats and dogs throughout the past few years, in and out of my own place. i am experienced in walking, feeding, and playing with them while their owners are away. my favorite part of making sure the owner feels secure and confident that their babies are in good hands is catering to specific needs. getting to know your animal is important to me! i work in an office mon-fri, but i am usually home in the evenings & all day on weekends. i’m also available for short or long-duration overnight stays. my partner, Daniel (a Rover sitter!), usually tags along in my sits as well. we live in an apartment, so for the comfort of your dog (or cat, if they’re a fan of the outdoors), i would be thrilled to make use of the environment that they are already familiar with. if you have a home with a yard, i’m sure getting some exercise in for the day would be no problem.

“Sharon was awesome, she took good care of my dogs and was really flexible when I had to adjust my schedule due to a missed flight. I definitely recommend her.”
“First time using Mary for our boys George and Frank on a week long trip. Having recently moved from the PNW we have had to find our new “dog people” and this has been very anxiety provoking! Mary was great with them and sent me pictures throughout the week, we added on baths at the end of the week so they were fresh for our return. We will absolutely send them to Mary’s for our future vacations ?”

About: I have had pets and farm animals my entire life. I know their needs and prioritize making sure they are met. I am thoughtful, attentive and caring to all! As a full-time remote professional, pet care integrates seamlessly into my daily routine without disrupting my work. My schedule allows me to work comfortably from my home office desk while providing your dog with consistent supervision, regular companionship, and frequent outdoor breaks in my securely fenced backyard. Because I do not offer neighborhood walks, my focus remains entirely on structured indoor play, mental enrichment, and easy access to yard exercise. I strictly care for a limited number of low-maintenance guest dogs at a time. This deliberate limit guarantees that your pet fits perfectly into my balanced workday, receiving high-quality, individual attention and a premium, stress-free stay. Because I work from home full-time, your pet will enjoy a highly structured, reliable routine with constant human company. My home office setup allows me to provide continuous supervision and easy, frequent access to the outdoors throughout the day. For safety, guest pets have a dedicated, pet-proofed space separate from our family areas, and I always feed animals individually to ensure a completely stress-free mealtime. I strictly follow your specific instructions for feeding, medication, and crating to keep your pet’s routine identical to what they enjoy at home.
“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter than Kelsey for our cat. We received daily updates and fun pics and Kelsey also went above and beyond to keep our spoiled cat comfortable with her usual habits 😄. I’m happy to recommend Kelsey to anyone and I hope she will always be available when we need care for Rain.”
“Our dog loved staying with Nicole & her family! She was responsive & sent us pictures and updates daily! She made sure that our dog felt like he was part of their family! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe family to watch their family while they are away! I will be using Nicole again in the future!”
“Destinee was wonderful! She communicated so well and sent pictures throughout our dog’s stay. She treated him as if she’s known him forever! We can’t thank Destinee enough for looking after our buddy. We will definitely rebook with her again. She’s wonderful!”
“Kathryn and Garrison took such good care of our Mabel while we were out of town! It ended up being a vacation for Mabel too - she got lots of love and enjoyed running around their backyard! We appreciated the consistent communication and they made sure to understand Mabel’s needs, which put our minds at ease. Would definitely recommend this pair!”
“David was so great to my two frenchies. We completed a meet and greet and I knew within minutes of my dogs exploring and meeting the pack that this would be a great fit. They got to make new friends and be part of a very well behaved pack. They received lots of activity in his large enclosed yard with plenty of space to run or explore. Dogs were bathed on pickup and looked happy and healthy. David send daily videos which were greatly appreciated. I will definitely be using David for all my travel plans knowing my dogs are in good hands.”
“Leta and spouse treated my pups like royalty! We got lots of pictures and they were well loved, exercised and entertained. I’d highly recommend and will use them again. They even gave my pups a bath!”

“Rachel and Seth were amazing! We have 2 American leopard hounds and they took such great care of them. Sent us pictures every day with a little message as to how they were doing. Made us feel very comfortable while we were on our vacation. The dogs I felt loved it there too. Will definitely use them again and recommend them to our family and friends.”

“Nicole was excellent with our dog Prime. He is a larger very excitable dog and we always are concerned when finding a new sitter. But, Nicole was able to calm him and take him on walks. The pictures she sent during his stay showed a happy and content dog. We recommend Nicole highly and will definitely book again.”
“I was nervous my first time using Rover and my dog can be wary of strangers, and now Olive loves Destiny! My girl was well taken care of and Destiny was SO easy to work with. So happy to have someone I can trust with my dog! Definitely will be using her again!”
