“I can’t say enough good things about these folks. To start, they spent an hour with me and Benny (my pup) in advance of my trip and introduced us to their place. Benny loved the big backyard and I could tell he immediately felt at home. During my trip, I received daily videos of Benny playing with other dogs or being loved on, which made me feel good knowing I was so far away from home. Benny is such a good dog and I am grateful to have connected with people as equally good and loving. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”
“Sean was phenomenal with my Emmie girl! She struggles with anxiety and is dog reactive. I booked last minute and when I dropped her off she was immediately comfortable with him. He sent me photos regularly, made sure to tell me what they were doing that day and made sure he knew her routine. Probably the best pet sitter/boarder I have EVER had and I will recommend him to anyone!”
“Basil had a great time staying with Elizabeth and Phillip. The care was top notch, and I was kept up to date through texts and pics. I can always tell when Basil has a good stay experience because she comes home and is chill. Thank you!”
“Missy was excellent with my girls. She was patient and loving, even during a stressful time. She was very flexible and accommodating with my weird scheduling needs for drop off and pickup as well. I definitely recommend her dog sitting services!”
“Abi was amazing with Tater! Everything went perfect from the pre-visit, drop off, stay and pick up. Abi sent updates and pictures every day and throughout the day. We never had to reach out and ask how Tater was doing. We had to ask to extend Taters stay due to our flight being cancelled and rebooked. Abi was super flexible and allowed us to extend our stay. Tater was happy and relaxed when we picked her up from Abi. This was such a great experience! We will definitely be rebooking with Abi the next time we need a sitter for Tater.”
“Absolutely wonderful with my two dogs; they were taken very good care of, and I got daily pupdates! She was very responsive and understanding to the times I needed to drop off/ pick up my dogs. I will most certainly be boarding my dogs here again when needed.”
“Mrs Katherine was the sweetest lady and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to leave my dog with , she has super great communication I got lots of updates and pictures throughout the day / week and biscuit really loved her and her husband they are great people I would definitely recommend her for anyone needing to board a dog and her price is so reasonable and cheaper than any dog boarding facility , they have lots of outdoor space a fenced in back yard your babies can run I really liked that about them , thank you so much Katherine and Brad for taking such great care and loving our fur baby . Book with them you will not regret it !! They are great people 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

I raised puppies, walked massive dobermans, and at one point took care of 13 dogs at once! Feeding, watering, cleaning up after, walking, and loving your pet like you would are my top priorities.

Your pets will be pampered and well cared for. I'll take great care of them, and give them plenty of love and attention.

“Destinee was great! My cat Katniss is on seizure meds and I typically board her at our vets office. When the vets office was booked, I turned to Rover and found Destinee. It was a short notice booking which Destinee gladly accepted. It was my first time leaving Katniss with anyone but our vet. Destinee quickly put my mind at ease with her knowledge and experience with rescues she has dealt with. She kept me informed of how Katniss was doing. Katniss did great! Because of Katniss's seizures we have struggled with finding the appropriate flea meds for her. Destinee gave me suggestions for more natural products that we plan to check into. I wouldn't hesitate to use Destinee again. I highly recommend her!”

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities.

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

“Kimba had a great time with Kaitlyn. She took great care of Kimba and sent pictures throughout the day. Kaitlyn is very responsive and makes me feel at ease. Kimba has a lot of separation anxiety and it was clear from the photos and when we picked her up that she’d had a great day. I know Kimba was in good hands with Kaitlyn. I’d use her again next time we are in town.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Macy was absolutely amazing with Bruno! She cared for him for an entire week with so much love, patience, and confidence. Every morning he was genuinely excited to see her, and that gave me so much peace of mind. As the owner of a 120-pound dog, it isn’t easy to trust someone else with him, but I felt completely comfortable leaving my big baby in Macy’s capable hands. She handled him with confidence and kindness, and it was clear she truly cared about him. She was also incredibly flexible and gracious as my schedule kept changing, pivoting without hesitation and making the whole experience stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Macy and will absolutely book with her again!”
“Ami was so kind and trustworthy, she took amazing care of my dog and I would highly recommend her to anyone anytime. She sent plenty of pics and videos - your dog couldn’t be in safer hands.”
“Breanna is great! We left our pup for daycare, she played, relaxed, and went on a walk. Breanna was very responsive and provided great updates. We would absolutely leave our pup with her again.”
“Christina was incredibly accommodating, and took excellent care of Lillian, who was a little stressed over being someplace new for the first time. Wish I lived in the area so I could book her again; Christina was excellent and communicates well (and sent photos during the stay, which was a bonus!)”
“Sarah and family greeted Lucy at the door. She happily ran off following the kids for a fun evening! She loves kids! Sarah was easy to work with our uncertain time frame! E McCoy and Lucy”

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

About: Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs through family and personal experience! I’ve pet sat for my brother’s four large dogs in his home, making sure they were fed, exercised, given plenty of attention, and kept on their normal routine while he was away. My sister recently adopted a puppy and I puppy sit him overnight every other weekend as well, I help potty train and with socializing him. I once had a senior dog of my own who was truly part of my family. Caring for a senior pet taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of paying close attention to a dog’s comfort, health, and individual needs. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I strive to make them feel safe, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away. I look forward to treating every dog in my care as if they were my own and providing regular updates so pet parents can have peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work as a full-time Lyft driver, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Since I create my own hours, I’m able to adjust my availability to meet the needs of each pet and their owner. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, evening care, overnight stays, or last-minute requests, I can easily structure my schedule to provide dependable, attentive care. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I strive to be as accommodating as possible to help them stay comfortable and maintain their normal schedule while you’re away. I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment where pets are treated like family. I live in a spacious four-bedroom condo-style apartment with access to a fenced-in dog park, giving dogs a secure place to play, exercise, and enjoy the outdoors. When caring for pets in my home, I do my best to keep them on their usual routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by their owner. When I’ve cared for my siblings’ dogs, they’ve slept in bed with me (if that’s what they’re used to), and I bring them with me whenever it’s appropriate so they’re rarely left alone. I enjoy having them by my side and giving them plenty of love, attention, and companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I’ll follow all care instructions closely, provide lots of affection and playtime, and send regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

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

I am very attentive to the pet I am taking care of. I always make sure to have your baby in eyesight.
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets and those of friends and family, I worked as a veterinary receptionist, where I learned how to recognize signs of illness, communicate with pet owners, and help support pets with a variety of medical needs. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering many common medications, and providing updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands while you're away. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to provide patient, dependable care tailored to their individual needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for every day. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable care, whether that's walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, medication administration, or simply spending quality time with your pet. I work to keep pets on their normal routine and provide regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household preferences. I take time to get to know each pet's personality and comfort level so they feel safe and cared for while their family is away. Safety is always my top priority. I double-check doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions, and I monitor pets for any signs of illness, injury, or unusual behavior. With my background working in a veterinary office, I understand the importance of attention to detail and prompt communication if concerns arise. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, comfortable, and receiving the care they deserve.

About: My name is Allie, and I’m a 31 year RN (and may or may not have missed my calling as a vet haha). Don’t get me wrong, I love caring for humans, but my real passion lies in caring for animals.

I will also ensure the safety of your home in terms of locking doors, enabling security cameras/alarms, etc.

“Sean was phenomenal with my Emmie girl! She struggles with anxiety and is dog reactive. I booked last minute and when I dropped her off she was immediately comfortable with him. He sent me photos regularly, made sure to tell me what they were doing that day and made sure he knew her routine. Probably the best pet sitter/boarder I have EVER had and I will recommend him to anyone!”
“Basil had a great time staying with Elizabeth and Phillip. The care was top notch, and I was kept up to date through texts and pics. I can always tell when Basil has a good stay experience because she comes home and is chill. Thank you!”
“Missy was excellent with my girls. She was patient and loving, even during a stressful time. She was very flexible and accommodating with my weird scheduling needs for drop off and pickup as well. I definitely recommend her dog sitting services!”
“Abi was amazing with Tater! Everything went perfect from the pre-visit, drop off, stay and pick up. Abi sent updates and pictures every day and throughout the day. We never had to reach out and ask how Tater was doing. We had to ask to extend Taters stay due to our flight being cancelled and rebooked. Abi was super flexible and allowed us to extend our stay. Tater was happy and relaxed when we picked her up from Abi. This was such a great experience! We will definitely be rebooking with Abi the next time we need a sitter for Tater.”
“Absolutely wonderful with my two dogs; they were taken very good care of, and I got daily pupdates! She was very responsive and understanding to the times I needed to drop off/ pick up my dogs. I will most certainly be boarding my dogs here again when needed.”
About: Hi! My name is Emm! I am a queer and queer-friendly person and active in my community. I have taken care of animals since I was 8. I raised puppies, walked massive dobermans, and at one point took care of 13 dogs at once! Feeding, watering, cleaning up after, walking, and loving your pet like you would are my top priorities. I lived with my father after becoming an adult and took care of his cat. Animals of all kinds are fine by me! I'm available at any time! When I am not working, I spend my time with my partner, listen to music, and practice my culinary skills. If I stay at your home, I will respect your pets and your things like you're my family. Your pets will be pampered and well cared for. I'll take great care of them, and give them plenty of love and attention.

“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!”
“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!”

“My Wilson was wonderfully taken care of by Sarah and her family, and their two pups were great with him, as was Butcher the pig. I will ask Sarah if she’ll be able to board Wilson again next time I have to go out of town.”
“Valerie took great care of my 2 golden boys. I get really anxious leaving them behind, but they seemed like they got tons of exercise (which is a feat for my 1.5 year old) and had lots of fun! Definitely will be using her for any future trips.”
