Personalized care for your dog or cat - Scott
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Scott
“Emily was the best dog sitter we have ever had! She made sure Sparky followed his usual schedule with feeding, walks and playtime. He got plenty of attention and love from Emily and her kids. We got frequent updates, pictures and videos, which reassured us Sparky was being well taken care of. We highly recommend Emily to anyone who wants a fabulous dog sitter!”
“Another wonderful stay for my girls with Josie & Michael, I appreciate them so much! It is nice to be able to travel and know that your furry children are well cared for. <3”
“Michelle was wonderful with our Pit! He had a great time and was happy and tired when we brought him home. We were thankful for Michelle’s updates throughout the weekend! Would recommend!”
“I have an older that needs a lot of attention and Kristen took the time to listen to what she needed and made sure she got her medication. She made sure my dog was safe, and sent me updates and pictures throughout her stay.”
“We loved having Jennifer & Larry watch our two girls. They sent us pictures and updates 2x a day. And our girls were really happy with being able to explore inside and outside as they had access to go outside on their own. 100% will ask them to watch our girls again.”
“Ava did a great job with Finn. He had a fun time playing with her Finn and Honey. He also learned some new things, now I just need to learn them too! I definitely plan to board my Finn there again and continue working with Ava on Finn and my training.”
“Our dog Daisy was very well cared for. This was her first time being away from family and she took to Bree and her husband right away at the meet and greet. That initial interaction was very comforting. We'd love to have Bree sit for Daisy again!”
“Kevin was amazing with our 8 month old bernadoodle. He was great with communication and we knew our dog was in good hands. We appreciated the frequent updates and photographs. We will definitely be using Kevin again in the future!”
“Faith and her Family are great! I’ve felt so comfortable leaving my fur babies with them! The photos and videos I got daily showed how much they enjoyed and cared for them while they were there. I will definitely keep faith as my go to when I need a pup sitter!”
“Lanae did an awesome job with sending us pictures and letting us know that Molly was having a great time. We will definitely be using Lanae again, if the need arises, when we are in the area. Thanks again for a great job!”
“Paul & Kelly took excellent care of Dewey and were easy to work with. I came over before my trip for a meet & greet and they were very reassuring. I got regular updates & pictures. Dewey loved the big yard & got lots of gentle attention & play time from the Boys.”
“Alexia was very attentive to my Gracie and made sure she had a comfortable stay while we were away. Alexia sent pictures and updates on Gracie at least twice a day and followed my (many) instructions perfectly. I wish the weather would have cooperated a bit better so they could have been outside exploring more, but Alexia did make sure they got outside as often as possible. Alexia seems to have a real heart for animals and it shows!”
“Lindsay was a lifesaver when my usual boarder went out of business shortly before our trip. She sent several updates throughout the week. Communicated at every step. Will use again. Thanks Lindsay!”

About: Hi, I'm Jaela! I’m an elementary school teacher, and animals of all ages and sizes have been the absolute center of my world for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm surrounded by a wide variety of animals, which taught me from a very young age how to read animal body language, handle different temperaments, and provide compassionate, patient care. Throughout high school and college, I regularly watched and walked dogs and cats. I love house sitting because it allows your pets to stay completely relaxed in their own environment while maintaining their exact daily routines. I come from a family of veterinarians, so I grew up immersed in the world of animal health, safety, and care.
About: I grew up on a farm, surrounded by animals of all kinds from energetic puppies to senior dogs, barn cats, and even livestock. That experience taught me how to read animal behavior, respond calmly in unexpected situations, and provide gentle, consistent care. I also picked up a lot of practical skills, including how to support animals through stress, illness, or injury. Whether your dog needs extra patience, a structured routine, or just some good old-fashioned love and playtime, I’ve got them covered. I truly understand animals and I treat every pet like part of the family. Caring for animals has always been part of my everyday life. Whether it’s early morning walks, playtime, or keeping a routine for feeding and medication, I naturally build my day around what pets need. I’m used to adjusting my schedule to fit each animal’s routine whether it’s a puppy who needs extra attention or a senior dog who needs a slower pace. Pet care isn’t just a task for me it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day. I follow each pet’s routine closely whether I’m in my home or yours. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs like meds or crate training. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in a clean and calm environment.
“Lila provided exceptional care for my three cats, each with completely different personalities and care routines. She was consistently reliable, communicative, and attentive to every detail, giving me total peace of mind while I was away. Her thorough daily updates and detailed notes showed how genuinely invested she was in their well-being. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and couldn’t be more impressed. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter.”
About: Ive taken care of cats and been around them my whole life. They are the first animal that taught me responsibility when I was young. I’ve even nursed VERY young farm kittens that were abandoned by their mom. I love all cats and can care for every age!
About: I have always had a passion for animals. I've taken care of animals of all kinds since I was a child. It's always been a love of mine and I want to be able to share my love with other animals as well. You can rest assure your beloved animal will be cared for when you leave them with me. I currently work a full time job. I would be able to care for your pet in the afternoons and weekends currently. I am hoping to be able to open up my schedule more in the future. I can use a leash/harness that you have available to walk your animal or let them outside if needed. I will pay close attention to them and assess whatever they may need.
“Hanna is awesome! I am glad she has been there for me all of this time, and will miss her when she moves. Anyone who needs someone to look after their babies near her new home would be more than pleased with her responsiveness and understanding. Thanks Hanna for all you’ve done!”
About: While I have never had a cat of my own, I have lots of love for them! I have experience with feeding, administering medication, litter box cleaning, etc. I also know cats usually develop their own little preferences and routines. With that being said, I know my organizational skills and attention to detail would come in handy. In my experience in pet and child care, I care for them like they are my own! ❤️
About: I have always had dogs in my life as pets. I have been house sitting for 10 years. My house sitting clients rely on me to exercise their dogs as well as feed and medicate their dogs. I have experience with all sizes and many breeds. I am currently working part time at a dog boarding/daycare/grooming facility and have lots of time in the evenings and afternoons for walks or drop in visits most days of the week. If you are interested in house sitting I work part time from 6:30am-11am everyday except Fridays. I would be in the home full time with your pet except for those few hours each morning. I will not be offering boarding in my home but I take pride in taking care of your pets in their own homes. I follow all instructions and make sure I’m very clear on parents wishes and routines. I take care of your pet as if they were my own!
“I really appreciate Devin’s availability and willingness to respond to me when I blew up her phone ;) I literally could not find a pet sitter in this area that would respond to me. I have a lot of anxiety about leaving my dogs, and so it was nice to have someone who responded so quickly. (On a semi-unrelated note to pet sitting, she also took really cute pictures of my dogs which was helpful to my daughter while we were gone).”
“Michelle was awesome! She is very genuine and loves animals. She took great care of our kitty Hazel. She completed all of the visits as planned and sent great images and messages about the visit. She made our first experience with Rover a great one! We will request her again!”
“Bethanie was super responsive, professional and left no room for worry in the caretaking of our five four-legged kids while we attended our daughter's wedding in Michigan! She was also kind enough to help tech-challenged me with the Rover app as well as sending photos during our time away?. Very impressed and grateful!”
About: I'm willing to go above and beyond to make sure your pet is being taken care of my someone who is going to treat them like they are their own. Right now I'm more then willing to work with any schedule that helps benefit us both. I'm willing to make a drive if that's what's needed. I treat the pet and the owners stuff as if it's everything. I might clean up a bit of there's small stuff needed done. I'll clean up messes that are caused by any accidents in the home.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Scott
“Stephanie did great watching our pup. We needed a sitter last minute and she was quick to respond & help out. She took Harley on a walk and sent us update pics. Harley was exhausted when she got home which is not an easy thing to do, so she must have had fun. We will definitely be using Stephanie again.”

About: I've been caring for animals for 15 years and have had pets my entire life. While living on a farm for many years, I was responsible for the daily care of a variety of animals, including feeding, watering, cleaning, monitoring their health, and making sure they felt safe and cared for. In addition to my own animals, I've regularly cared for family members' and friends' pets while they were away, providing dependable, loving care and giving pet owners peace of mind. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. As a lifelong animal lover, I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, happy, and stress-free experience while you're away. As a mom and animal lover, I know how important it is to trust someone with the ones you love most. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a lifelong pet owner with years of experience caring for animals, I'm accustomed to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate your pet's needs, whether that means regular walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or sticking to a specific routine they're used to. I understand how important consistency is for pets and will do my best to maintain their normal schedule while you're away. Caring for animals has always been a part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness will always be a top priority. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. While my yard is not fenced, all pets are closely supervised when outside. My own dog either uses a secure cable for potty breaks or stays by my side while outdoors and is well-trained to remain close. For visiting pets, I follow the owner's preferences and take extra precautions to ensure their safety. Pets are never left unattended outdoors and are always kept on a leash, cable, or under direct supervision. Inside the home, I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their routines, follow all care instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they're away.
“I simply couldn't ask for more. Anna is the absolute BEST! My dog came home happy, healthy and tired. It's a good tired. She doesn't get nearly enough activity here at home. She gets lots of great activity at Anna's house.”
“This was Mason's second stay with Kristen and he was very excited to go and had a great time! Was kept up to date throughout the day with pictures. Will definitely use again!”
“Alejandra was wonderful with our pup, Cliff! She sent lots of pictures and videos of him throughout the day, and he had a blast! He had lots of friends to play with and was ready for a nap when he got home!”
“Josie was wonderful with our 2 girls!! We were traveling from out of state and needed someone to watch our dogs while we visited with relatives. Josie’s home was beautifully decorated and VERY clean. She has a nice sized secure backyard that was ideal for our girls to explore. We would highly recommend Josie & Michael. Thank you so much for caring for Lily & Kahlua.”
About: I have had pets of all kinds for most of my life. I have taken care of friends and families pets and worked as a veterinary assistant. I am currently a stay at home mom of an 11 year old so I have plenty of time to give your pet the care and time they deserve I have a fenced yard and four dogs of my own to keep your pet company. My dogs vary in size and age. I can crate your dog if requested and also have plenty of room and space if your dog needs to be away from my personal pets. My family loves our pets, and they are all very spoiled.
“Jennifer and Larry were awesome. Nestli was excited to enter their house the moment he got there, and immediately began exploring the fenced yard with joy. He was happy to be there, and when we picked him up, he made sure to give Jennifer several kisses and wiggle butts goodbye. Obviously, Jennifer and Larry took great care of Nestli, and also accommodated our extra time needs for our event, for which we are very grateful!”
“Anna was great to work with. We're new to Rover and she answered any questions and was very accommodating to our needs for the day care. We're from out of town and using Rover and Anna made our stay easy for times during the day when our dog could not be with us. We would definitely use Anna when back in the area.”
About: New to Rover.com but 10+ years of fostering over 400 babies for local shelters. They were all spoiled by the time they were ready for adoption. (No apologies for that 🙃) Your pet will be well cared for/spoiled while they visit! I can take two dogs, for the safety of your pet(s) and mine, only if they are from the same household. Love animals and miss fostering I did while in California. Your family member will be in caring hands who has years of experience with puppies and kittens who needed medication. I’m retired and have all the time in the world. 🤭 I still foster and mark my calendar as unavailable when I have foster babies. You can always ask if there is room for one more. 😉 New home with half acre fenced yard. Have a very active border collie who wants a playmate. My animals have always had the run of the house but I can provide a crate if need be. If you need an extended period of time, let me know. My last foster was 6 months old, from a local shelter and was here for over 2 months.
About: I grew up helping out on my friends parents farm. After we moved away my family signed up to foster for the humane society and my love for animals only grew. I’ve helped deliver and care for puppies and kittens. I now have 2 daughters of my own that love animals just as much as I do and our favorite thing to do is go to the humane society to play with the pups and cats 💕 I run my own business and work from home. Both my girls are in school so I have a lot of free time I’d love to use on with helping some furbabies 💕 I live in an apartment right of the millrace so we love walls on the trail! We also love going to the dog park here in goshen because it’s always empty. I will make sure your furbaby is very well cared for in the time they are with me 💕

I am currently a stay at home dog mom, so I am available pretty much any time. I will get up as early or stay up as late as needed to care for your pet. Prices explained: House sitting- $200/night. I have had multiple people try to book house sitting jobs with me and then are shocked by the price. The reason for the price being $200/night and so much higher than my check-in and dog walking prices is because I have to factor in drive time, mileage, and gas that it takes me to get to your home in back, as well as trips I will have to make in between to come home and care for my own dogs and to shower and eat as well as the hours I’m spending at your home overnight. I am away from my own home/bed, family, and dogs so I can do a job that requires me to stay somewhere most of the day and overnight to care for living beings. Because of that, I am going to charge a flat rate of $200 that covers the moment I leave my home to when I return after the last day, which includes every night I spend in your home. If you require me to stay in your home overnight for the job, I will not do it for free. Rover also takes 20% of my earnings, so I am actually only making $160/night. If you break it down, say I’m there for around 12 hours for an overnight house sitting job, I’m only making around $13/hour. If you do not require me to stay overnight, my check in and dog walking prices are much more affordable and I can check in several times a day and stay for up to an hour each time. Also, please list each animal in your home on your profile. As many other Rover sitters, I charge per animal. If there is only one dog on your profile, I expect to only be caring for one dog. It is an additional $10 or less per additional dog, depending on which service you book. I have previously talked about how I care for my dogs in my home, but I will not be offering any kind of in home care as two of my dogs are reactive. However, at the client’s home, I can follow any instructions on care down to the very last detail. I can provide your pet with cuddles and playtime if they are comfortable with it. I can walk them as well, for any amount of time or distance. I will meet your needs and your pet’s needs!
“From the minute our dog met Morgan I could tell things would go well. Morgan was very timely and sent pictures and details about each visit with our dog Leo. I was out of town and when I asked if she could do a couple of extra things to care for Leo she happily agreed. She is very trustworthy, attentive to details and caring. I look forward to having her help with Leo again in the future.”

About: I’ve lived with a dog my entire life (other than my 4 years I was away at college). I absolutely love animals! I adopted an older dog in 2022 who loves socializing with others. Due to his age and time spent in the shelter, he has anxiety of people going out in public, so I can’t take him out much. But when other dogs are around he THRIVES! I’d love to take your dogs on walks and get active with them! I live in a house, with a huge fenced in backyard. I’ve watched my friends dogs and have good references. Let me know your dogs needs and how I can help best! ❤️ I work from home 75% of the time. I’m available to let your dog out and play with them at almost anytime throughout the day.

I have reliable transportation to drive to your home as well. If you prefer your dog to be crated at night and/or if I leave for a bit I can accommodate those needs! If your dog is comfortable outside of the crate, the whole place is free game.

“Emily was the best dog sitter we have ever had! She made sure Sparky followed his usual schedule with feeding, walks and playtime. He got plenty of attention and love from Emily and her kids. We got frequent updates, pictures and videos, which reassured us Sparky was being well taken care of. We highly recommend Emily to anyone who wants a fabulous dog sitter!”
“Michelle was wonderful with our Pit! He had a great time and was happy and tired when we brought him home. We were thankful for Michelle’s updates throughout the weekend! Would recommend!”
“I have an older that needs a lot of attention and Kristen took the time to listen to what she needed and made sure she got her medication. She made sure my dog was safe, and sent me updates and pictures throughout her stay.”
“We loved having Jennifer & Larry watch our two girls. They sent us pictures and updates 2x a day. And our girls were really happy with being able to explore inside and outside as they had access to go outside on their own. 100% will ask them to watch our girls again.”
“Our dog Daisy was very well cared for. This was her first time being away from family and she took to Bree and her husband right away at the meet and greet. That initial interaction was very comforting. We'd love to have Bree sit for Daisy again!”
“Kevin was amazing with our 8 month old bernadoodle. He was great with communication and we knew our dog was in good hands. We appreciated the frequent updates and photographs. We will definitely be using Kevin again in the future!”
“Lanae did an awesome job with sending us pictures and letting us know that Molly was having a great time. We will definitely be using Lanae again, if the need arises, when we are in the area. Thanks again for a great job!”
“Paul & Kelly took excellent care of Dewey and were easy to work with. I came over before my trip for a meet & greet and they were very reassuring. I got regular updates & pictures. Dewey loved the big yard & got lots of gentle attention & play time from the Boys.”
“Alexia was very attentive to my Gracie and made sure she had a comfortable stay while we were away. Alexia sent pictures and updates on Gracie at least twice a day and followed my (many) instructions perfectly. I wish the weather would have cooperated a bit better so they could have been outside exploring more, but Alexia did make sure they got outside as often as possible. Alexia seems to have a real heart for animals and it shows!”
“Lindsay was a lifesaver when my usual boarder went out of business shortly before our trip. She sent several updates throughout the week. Communicated at every step. Will use again. Thanks Lindsay!”
About: I've been caring for animals for 15 years and have had pets my entire life. While living on a farm for many years, I was responsible for the daily care of a variety of animals, including feeding, watering, cleaning, monitoring their health, and making sure they felt safe and cared for. In addition to my own animals, I've regularly cared for family members' and friends' pets while they were away, providing dependable, loving care and giving pet owners peace of mind. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. As a lifelong animal lover, I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, happy, and stress-free experience while you're away. As a mom and animal lover, I know how important it is to trust someone with the ones you love most. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a lifelong pet owner with years of experience caring for animals, I'm accustomed to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate your pet's needs, whether that means regular walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or sticking to a specific routine they're used to. I understand how important consistency is for pets and will do my best to maintain their normal schedule while you're away. Caring for animals has always been a part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness will always be a top priority. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. While my yard is not fenced, all pets are closely supervised when outside. My own dog either uses a secure cable for potty breaks or stays by my side while outdoors and is well-trained to remain close. For visiting pets, I follow the owner's preferences and take extra precautions to ensure their safety. Pets are never left unattended outdoors and are always kept on a leash, cable, or under direct supervision. Inside the home, I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their routines, follow all care instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they're away.

“Marcia was an exceptional dog sitter during my time away. She consistently provided updates, sharing pictures of my dogs throughout the day. Her flexibility in accommodating various aspects of their stay was greatly appreciated. Marcia's kindness and attentiveness were evident, and she kept me well-informed at all times. My two pups were thoroughly worn out from playing with her and her dog, which speaks to the level of care and attention they received. I highly recommend Marcia for any pet sitting needs!”
