She sent us pics and little updates and we could tell our girl was having a blast! It was an incredible peace of mind to know she was with someone who is competent and compassionate!

She has a great setup of for small dogs and you can tell she is an expert at taking care of them. Thank you!

I was afraid to leave Holly with a “stranger”, however, Holly loved staying with Michaela! And we felt completely at ease after meeting Michaela, she loves all animals. I cannot stress enough how great the experience was with Michaela, we will definitely be using her in the future! If you need somebody to love your spoiled pup while on vacation, I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE you to contact Michaela, you will not regret it!!

She was absolutely wonderful with him and sent pictures throughout my trip. Odie had the best time and made some best friends! After meeting, I knew I was leaving my fur baby in the best of hands.

We love Kevin! This was the 3rd time our bernedoodle puppy stayed with him and he had just been neutered 3 days beforehand but we knew he would be in good hands. Kevin administered the medications and also followed all of the instructions as far as activity level and play. He even ended up having to use a baby gate to ensure safety! We are greatly appreciative of Kevin!

Our cat seemed to really open up to Casey! In the past when we have hired sitters through Rover we were sent pictures of her hiding under the bed and that made us feel uneasy while away from her, but Casey sent pictures of her out and about and even eating! That was definitely a sign to us that our cat felt safe. She was very accommodating to our last minute trip and communicated with us the entire time. She will absolutely be our first choice the next time we go on a trip, and I’m sure our kitty would be happy to see her again!

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to really get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience working with goats, cats, dogs and lizards, chickens and even horses, along with senior pets. I’m patient and consistent when it comes to basic training, potty routines, exercising and helping reinforce good habits. I know how important that is, so I focus on structure, positive reinforcement, and lots of encouragement. For senior pets, I have lots of experience in administering medication, and sticking closely to their routine, or providing extra attention and care. Reliability and communication are very important to me. I make sure you stay updated with messages, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel happy, secure, and cared for every step of the way. I’m currently working part-time and remote, so I have plenty of flexibility to help others take care of their fur baby. You can count on me! I provide a safe, loving environment. I currently have a 4-year-old Bernedoodle who is everything to me. I grew up surrounded by animals and have always had a strong love for them. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors by dropping in to care for their pets, feeding them, spending quality time with them, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I make it a priority to follow each pet’s routine closely, give them plenty of attention, and create a calm, safe environment where they feel at home. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family

About: I have been caring for pets for most of my life, and they are a huge part of my family. I have a 17-year-old dog named Prince, a 15-year-old dog named Grace, and a 13-year-old dog named Daisy. Since all of my dogs are seniors, I am comfortable caring for older dogs and giving them the extra patience, attention, and love they need. I will treat your pets with the same love and care that I give my own. I am currently a student, so I like to work around my class schedule. I am usually available in the mornings, on weekends, and many afternoons after class. I have a flexible schedule and will always communicate my availability. When caring for pets in their own homes, I will always follow the owner's instructions and respect their routine. I will treat every pet with the same love and care that I give my own while making sure they are safe and comfortable.

About: I have a bernidoodle of my own, and I have dog-sat for other family members and neighbors. I am comfortable with all dog breeds and sizes. I am currently on summer break from college. I will be available for drop-in visits and walks any day during the week and weekends after 10 am. My schedule is very flexible, and I am open to schedule changes and to taking on multiple dogs. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat their home with respect and follow their pet's normal routine as closely as possible. During visits, I'll make sure your dog gets plenty of time outside for potty breaks, exercise, and fresh air, along with lots of attention. I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I'll always follow your instructions and make sure your dog is happy and well looked after.

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).

I’ve been bringing my dog, Mykonos, to Lynn for daycare, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. Every morning, he gets so excited to go back, which says everything about how comfortable and happy he feels with her. He comes home calm and content, showing no signs of stress or anxiety. It gives me real peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Lynn clearly cares deeply for the dogs she looks after, and I’m grateful for the warm, safe environment she provides.

My husband was traveling several trips to the Bristol area for business. There are not any options for dog daycare with a national chain so I found Josie & Michael on here. The BEST dogsitters we have ever had for Jr. They treated him just like he was their pet plus every morning, he would almost shake his tail off when he would see Josie at the door. So if you live in the Bristol area or traveling there, please check out Josie & Michael for your fur baby sitter.

Andrew was GREAT! His whole house, from the inside out was extremely dog friendly. LiLi was a little apprehensive at first. He let me stay while he introduced all the dogs he was watching, one at a time, to LiLi. He made the transition easier for her by giving her (and all the other dogs) treats. Even though LiLi was nervous when I left, Andrew sent me a video of her happily playing with his dog, James, less than 5 minutes after I left. He took great pictures and videos too!!

I don’t think I can say enough good about Haley and Pierce. Pierce is the perfect combination of laid back and playful. He patiently tolerated her initial over-excitement and then ran and played “chase” with her at the beautiful park where Haley took them. Haley was friendly and professional, providing frequent updates and photos. I will most definitely be using Haley again!

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.

I appreciate that Emily and Ryan are so accommodating and take the time to keep me updated while Buddy is there. I feel confident when Buddy is there that he is being taken care of and loved like he is at home. Thanks guys for all you do!

About: Hello! I’m Valeria (you can call me Val) and I am a part time pet sitter. I currently work full time remotely. I enjoy running/walking at the park so having a partner tag along won’t be a problem. I am willing to provide any extra care your dog may need. This includes providing snacks, preparing specific meals, or even spending extra time outside. I have experience handling dogs, cats, birds, small animals and even chickens! I don’t have experience with senior dogs or giving injections/oral medication but I am willing to learn and will provide the best service for your babies needs. Feel free to message me for your specific needs or if you have any questions. Thanks! I usually let clients know my availability and advice on how I will structure my schedule to best accommodate their pets needs. During weekdays my availability is flexible because I work from home. I like to tour homes to be aware of exits/entrances, restricted areas (if there are any), and exchange contact info in case of an emergency.

About: Hi there!! I love both dogs and cats, and look forward to taking care of them. I've had many pets growing up. Habló Español también. As of right now I am available and flexible on time as school is out. I have been trying to find a second job, and would much rather prefer this to be my 2nd job as I enjoy going on runs with my dog and hanging out with my furbabies (I also have 2 cats). Why not make money while having fun and meeting new furbabies? I live near downtown Elkhart (heading towards Bristol). I live in a very safe and quiet neighborhood where there is plenty of space to walk, run, and enjoy a large field of grass (if allowed to be off leash).

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to really get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience working with goats, cats, dogs and lizards, chickens and even horses, along with senior pets. I’m patient and consistent when it comes to basic training, potty routines, exercising and helping reinforce good habits. I know how important that is, so I focus on structure, positive reinforcement, and lots of encouragement. For senior pets, I have lots of experience in administering medication, and sticking closely to their routine, or providing extra attention and care. Reliability and communication are very important to me. I make sure you stay updated with messages, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel happy, secure, and cared for every step of the way. I’m currently working part-time and remote, so I have plenty of flexibility to help others take care of their fur baby. You can count on me! I provide a safe, loving environment. I currently have a 4-year-old Bernedoodle who is everything to me. I grew up surrounded by animals and have always had a strong love for them. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors by dropping in to care for their pets, feeding them, spending quality time with them, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I make it a priority to follow each pet’s routine closely, give them plenty of attention, and create a calm, safe environment where they feel at home. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family

I am available on weekday evenings after work and flexible on weekends. I'm happy to work around your daily schedule whenever possible. I am open to discussing your needs. I have two dogs at home, and I make sure they are fed well, bathed, and get proper exercise. 😊 While I don't offer grooming services, I'm happy to brush your dog if requested. I also can do nail trims depending on the temperament of your fur baby.

About: I love fur babies! Whether it’s running around and playing with a younger ball of energy, just talking and petting an older “pup” I’m your girl I’ve cared for neighborhood pets since I was 12 years old. I have had pets in my home my entire life. I’d love to give you a stress free time away knowing your beloved animals are in great care while you are unavailable. During the week I would like to schedule regular evening walks, drops ins, or boarding. And weekends I am completely available. I can accommodate weekday services as long as I have enough of an advanced notice. I have a large fenced in yard! I am a very adventurous, outdoors person so if your dog is energetic I will be out there finding out what your dog enjoys to do, whether it be being chased, catching a ball, or just being curious and walking the neighborhood if you’re baby plans on hanging out with me I would definitely keep he/she active! I am currently working Monday-Thursdays, with a very flexible schedule! I am able to do drop ins or walks anytime throughout the day, but I will be able to give more devoted time for boarding typically Thur thru Sunday. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of space for your fur babies to run around and feel at home! My family will live on your pets as if they are our own!

About: Within the past couple years I started my own small business in pet transportation. I received licensing from the USDA and am knowledgeable in best practices in caring for pets while their families are away. I truly believe that our pets are our family and will aim to make your pets feel loved and well-cared for while you’re away. Beyond my own pets, transporting gave me experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I do have references to attest for the high standard of care I will provide. I am no longer transporting pets due to being away from my family (pets and humans) for extended periods of time. Recently I have become a stay at home mom, but really miss all the extra animals I got to love on. My availability is pretty flexible throughout the week now and I’m excited to meet your furry family members! I am available to care for your pet in your home or through walking. I will accept puppies/young dogs for boarding and doggy daycare in my home as I have my own large dogs, who are friendly, but intimidated by other large dogs. This can include feeding, administering medicine, walking, play time, crating, etc. I will always aim to stick to you and your pet’s schedule. I have a couple of years of experience in a vet office, initially attending college for veterinary medicine.

About: I have always grew up around dogs in my home and friends, family home. My grandma used to foster dogs and she taught me a lot I know about them including but not limited to administering shots and medications. I currently work full-time. However, the dog door and fenced in yard allows your dog to be out and roam freely while I am away. I am also okay to crate your dog if that is what you would prefer. When I get home it's usually clean, play, and dinner time. As the night goes on its movies and cuddles. I have a fenced in yard and a doggy door to let your dog(s) run around outside and play during the day freely as wanted. I love to take walks in the nice weather with the dogs and play fetch out in the yard. I have an indoor camera and outdoors cameras to keep eyes when I'm not home.

About: Hello, my name’s Anna. I have been taking care of dogs since I was 16. My family got a golden doodle several years ago and he has definitely been a joy and a task. Having a dog such as mine has made me more comfortable in my dog caring skills and fairly knowledgeable about what needs dogs have. I’m also very well equipped to handle puppies as I recently got a cocker spaniel several months ago. But given that, my passion for dogs continues to grow. I now as an independent adult have 2 dogs who I’ve had the pleasure of raising as puppies to where they are at now. I work full time but like to stay active and adding furry friends to the mix on my days off is no big task. I would love to see more dog friends and help them socialize and make someone’s life easier. I don’t have a fenced in back yard, but I am capable of taking dogs on as many walks as needed. I am also capable of putting dogs in a crate and preparing them for crating as long as needed.

About: Hi! I’m Paige, and animals have been a huge part of my life for over 14 years. Caring for pets isn’t just my job—it’s something I genuinely love. I’m currently a professional dog groomer and have also managed boarding facilities, worked in a veterinary office, and completed basic obedience training. Those experiences have taught me how to safely handle dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels while recognizing when they may need a little extra patience or attention. At home, your pet will have a safe, fun environment with a fully fenced yard for playtime, plenty of toys, fresh water, treats (with your approval), and lots of love and attention. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. Whether they love to play, cuddle, or simply relax, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! Scheduling, I just ask for two days notice if needed on the weekends or if I am needed for overnight stays/check ins. Thank you in advance! I have a fenced in yard at my home and two of my own dogs to keep your fur babies company if they enjoy playmates, if we are at your home I just need the information for care!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I’ve potty trained them, taught them how to walk with a leash, taught them tricks like sit stay and say your prayers, and too many to say. I will spoil your fur babies like I do mine. You would never have any worries while you’re away they will be in good hands. I love and enjoy being around dogs and or cats. I’d send you videos and or pictures of your fur baby. Some owners have their fur babies on a schedule if so I will do the same. if there is a park nearby I’d probably take them there. But first I would ask the owner what they would like me to do sense it is their pet. I'm retired so I'm flexible. My routine is the fur babies routine. I'd like to keep it that way for them, so I would need to know. I have a fenced in yard, not big for big dogs tho. They will be fed, played with and cuddled. If they need to be caged I have a large one for their comfort.

About: Hello everyone! Thank you for considering me to take care of your furbabies! I have two dogs of my own aged 5 and 4, so I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy and caring to watch your pets when needed! I have watched dogs ranging from full grown german shepherds to small puppies. I volunteered at my local animal shelter, Pet Refuge, five years ago and discovered my passion for animals! I have experience with caring for numerous sizes, ages, and breeds of dogs through both my past volunteer experience and my work here through Rover over the past 4 years. These dogs include pit bulls, golden retrievers, australian shepherds, poodles and doodles, labs, chihuahuas, beagles, bulldogs, terriers, and many mixes in between. My experience includes walking, feeding, giving oral medicine, and knowledge of the various traits and behaviors of dogs. I have learned many skills on how to interact with dogs and how to read their body language. I have been so fortunate to expand further on all of these skills through my own work full-time here on Rover with my daily clients, as well as my every-once-in-awhile pet pals that just need someone when their parents go on vacation! I also had a childhood cat who lived to be 18 years old, and adopted two kittens last year who just recently turned one! Therefore, I do have experience with cat duties as well including litter box cleaning and feeding. I love working with animals. I am currently pet-sitting full time in hopes to one day create my own business and expand! I am so passionate and appreciate all of my current and past pet parents so much for allowing me to take care of their pets! My schedule is generally completely open according to my availability and I would love to hear from you! I am super flexible! Outside of my Rover schedule I stay at home with my own two dogs and two kitties! As I previously stated, I have a few pets of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy and honest. Communication is key for my care and I am always updating, asking questions, and communicating with the parent while I care for their pet. Who doesn’t love lots of updates? I go with your pets pace, so if it’s a puppy full of energy we’ll be sure to play a lot - but if you have a senior who likes to relax, we will! Whatever your dogs (or cats) needs are I am there to fulfill them!

Excellent communication. Regular updates with photos and videos. My little guy was very happy and taken care of. He had his own little vacation while I had mine.

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.

It was our first time using Rover and leaving our pup with someone while we went out of town - Katelin was amazing and made this experience much better than we anticipated! She sent us pics and little updates and we could tell our girl was having a blast! It was an incredible peace of mind to know she was with someone who is competent and compassionate! Thank you, Katelin!!

Thank you for loving on our Sadie!!! From the meet and greet, I know Sadie would be in good hands with Leandra. She was calm and patient as it took out dog a bit to get warmed up. She kept us updated, was quick to respond to any questions we had and included photos! We will definitely be using her again.

Michaela did an amazing job watching our fur-baby, Holly. She sent pictures and provided updates; she had amazing communication! I was afraid to leave Holly with a “stranger”, however, Holly loved staying with Michaela! And we felt completely at ease after meeting Michaela, she loves all animals. I cannot stress enough how great the experience was with Michaela, we will definitely be using her in the future! If you need somebody to love your spoiled pup while on vacation, I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE you to contact Michaela, you will not regret it!!

We love Kevin! This was the 3rd time our bernedoodle puppy stayed with him and he had just been neutered 3 days beforehand but we knew he would be in good hands. Kevin administered the medications and also followed all of the instructions as far as activity level and play. He even ended up having to use a baby gate to ensure safety! We are greatly appreciative of Kevin!

Pamela saved our day when another Rover sitter had to cancel on us, last minute. We did not have time for a meet and greet so we were a bit nervous. Once we met her on her beautiful property, it was easy to tell she loves taking care of pets and takes it very seriously. She liked our dog Gipper but more importantly, Gipper liked her. They bonded almost immediately which made it possible for us to enjoy our trip. Nothing like picking up your dog who is happy, energetic and happy! Thank Pamela!

I have raised and cared for dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, ducks, donkeys and misc small pets. Our family is without a dog right now. We recently lost our Zeke and aren’t wanting to rush into another dog. We have lots of love to give.
