“Jake was awesome!! Would give him 10 stars if I could. I had peace of mind while traveling knowing my four legged kids were being well cared for. When I came to pick them up they almost didn’t wanna go home with me!! Thank you Jake!!!”
“Zora is a shy dog that is very attached to her daddy. We worried about leaving her with anyone, but Kathy worked wonders with her. She sent multiple pictures every day and we could see Zora relax and start to enjoy life there. It made being away from her so much easier. 10 out of 10 would have Zora stay at gma and gpa's house again!”
“We have tried boarding our dog in a kennel before and it was obvious he did not have a good time. When we went to pick him up from Janet's, he was so happy and I could tell he had a so much fun! It was such a great experience and a relief to know our baby was safe and happy while we were away. Janet was very easy to work with and provided updates and photos for us.”
“Mary is beyond incredible! You can immediately tell upon meeting her how much she loves animals and you can tell your pet will be loved like one of her own while they're staying with her! I can't thank her enough for taking such good care of Finn!”
“Heidi was fantastic! I was so apprehensive to have my baby stay at a sitter’s house but she sent pictures and kept me up-to-date to ease my concerns. You can just feel how much she loves animals. 💕”
“Jennifer has been absolutely great to work with. Has kept me updated with activity and a combination of photos/videos. Very communicative and easy going. Her level of attention to the my dog is what makes her my preferred sitter.”
“This was our first experience with Rover and therefore our first experience with Sam. We just have to say we could not be more pleased. We were visiting in Hutchinson, KS and our dog Elmer stayed overnight with Sam, his roommate and Trapper, a high energy, playful and very friendly dog. The two dogs meshed well wonderfully and got “lots of exercise” and play time. This was Elmer’s first night away from us as he is a recent adoptee and apparently he didn’t seem to miss us one bit. Sam was great about sending frequent updates and pictures while hosting Elmer which really helped alleviate any concerns we had. We wholeheartedly recommend Sam and would have no reservations about using his services again!”
“Billie Jo and her husband are kind, friendly and pet zen masters. This was our dogs first time boarding and we couldn’t have been more assured she was in great hands. They send you photos of your pup and text updates in the perfect amount. Will use again!”
About: I love dogs, and I have experience in owning large and small dogs. Right now, I have one mini dachshund who loves having friends. My job and schedule are also very flexible. I currently work full-time with a mix of working from home and in the office, but my office is 5 minutes from my house, and my schedule is very flexible. I have a fenced yard, one mini dachshund who loves to play and relax, and I allow dogs on the furniture. My dog and I go on frequent walks, depending on the weather, if backyard play isn't enough for your dog.
About: Experienced Pet Caretaker: From Puppies' Playtime to Senior Pill Prowess! I have cared for many puppies, as well as our Seniors. I love to play with the puppies, however, I love making sure the seniors get the cuddles and treats they desire! I have a senior in my own home and administer daily pills, multiple times per day. I also have a pitbull puppy who will run herself ragged outside while chasing balls, gardening, and just running around. She also loves hikes and walks! I run my own massage business for in home massage. I am only working three days a week for a few hours at a time. Taking care of the pets is really easy with my schedule! I can carve out as much time as they might need in my day. I aim to keep there routine as normal as possible. I am very flexible in making sure I can do that! I personally feed my own dogs two times per day (morning and night). I have crated my dogs at night for many years, but that is because they love their space. I don't mind having the animals out and about if that is what they prefer! I love to take my own animals on several walks per day, especially with apartment living! We can do anything from short walks to long hikes. I also have had to give my own dogs medications and am no stranger to senior care.
“We left Maggie with Alexis, Luke and Winston (Maggie’s new best friend) for two weeks. Alexis provided pictures and updates. I could see that Maggie was having a great time. They were flexible on the time that we could pick her up, and greeted us with smiles and a very happy dog. It was great to hear how much fun Maggie had with Winston. We will definitely use Alexis and Luke again.”

“We’ve asked Emily to take care of our kitty multiple times, and each time it has been great! She’s super patient, extremely reliable and communicative, and I love her thorough reports and all the pictures! She has been amazing in giving us peace of mind when we have to leave town. Super super grateful for Emily.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was young. Growing up on a farm taught me how to look after all kinds of animals, and over the years family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to care for theirs whenever they’re away. My dogs are like kids to me, so I understand how important it is to treat someone else’s animals with the same love and attention they get at home. I’m available full‑time to care for your animals and would love to welcome them into my home! I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and well‑loved while you’re away. I have a fully fenced backyard and two small dogs who would love the company. If you prefer, I can keep them completely separated, and I’m also happy to use a crate if that’s what your dog is most comfortable with.
About: I have always had dogs in my life. Growing up, I had two chocolate labs, and I now have my own three furry friends. My boyfriend and I consider our dogs to be a part of the family and treat them as such! They go everywhere we do, and we love taking them on new adventures! I work in the healthcare field, and my sister is an animal control officer so I have lots of knowledge when it comes to caring for your furry ones!! I work full time on night as a RN, but my boyfriend is home during that time! Someone will always be around with the pups:) I have a nice open home and a big fenced in backyard! There are dog beds in almost every room of the house. When I am home, the dogs get outside time about every two hours or whenever they tell me they need to go outside. If I am not home, they get let out about every four hours. There is no lack of love in our home and attention is constant for the pups.
“Communicative and reliable! Did great handling our rather complicated dog! Was able to take her on walks even though she can have behavioral issues and gave her meds without issue! Great trustworthy drop in sitter, would love to use his services again!”
“This is the first time that Billy Joel checked in on Dasher. The second day when she checked in with Dasher she couldn’t find him and proceeded to look all over to see if she could. Contacted me to let me know but also went above and beyond and went back later on during the day and found him. What a wonderful relief we will definitely have her back.”
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors and friends cats for several years. Every cat has their specific needs and traits as we all know. Litter boxes. Shots, cat food and play time are all basic tasks

“Harlee had an amazing time with Ms Janet! We will be visiting her and her fur babies when we are back in town. Janet was very responsive and handles dogs really well. I highly recommend her to pet sit.”

“Kathy was absolutely wonderful with my pug, Salvy! She was so kind and welcoming, and I felt completely comfortable leaving him with her. She sent me tons of pictures throughout the day, and Salvy looked so relaxed and right at home. We were in a bit of an unusual situation and only needed someone to watch him for a few hours while we were at the State Fair so my daughter could compete in the pedal pull. Kathy made the whole thing so easy and gave me one less thing to worry about on a really special day for us. Salvy clearly had a wonderful time, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely book with Kathy again.”

“Mary was amazing! She did such a great job with our nervous rescue dog. She took good care of her, kept her safe, and was super accommodating to work with. We were traveling through town and wanted to see the museums but also make sure our dog was well-cared for. Mary gave us that opportunity.”
“My dog is a ball of stress in new situations but she seemed to be comfortable with Jenny and her Velma after a short time. If I'm in town with my dog and need a place for her to stay awhile again, I'll definitely look Jenny up.”

“This was my first time using Rover to care for my pup and Billie Jo set the standard high. She accommodated my early drop off time and she took good care of my pup. She let me know she had other Rover dogs and asked if I was ok with that which I was. She kept me in the loop on how he was doing and even sent me a few pics. I felt so comfortable with her that I felt confident my pup was in good hands.”

“Janet was amazing with Rue and had the perfect combo of fun and cuddles! She was so flexible with some last minute changes and sent some adorable pics of Rue playing with her dog Cash:) Would definitely recommend her to anyone and I’m sure Rue would love to have another visit!”
About: Hey, my name is Yinka, and I’m excited to connect with pet owners who are looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter! While I’m new to dog sitting, I lead a life of quick learning and reliability in everything I do. Spending time with dogs is something I’ve always envisioned, and I’m looking to build loving relationships with dogs of all kinds.

I’ve always thought about having a pet myself, and I’m looking forward to sharing my time and care with your furry friend in the meantime. I may not have prior professional experience, but what sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and dedication to treating them with care and kindness. I work a 9-to-5 job during the week, which means I’m typically available on weeknights and weekends. This flexibility allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for your dog, whether it’s for walks, playtime, or just hanging out. Living on my own also makes it easy to adjust my schedule to meet your pup’s needs. As someone who values trustworthiness and reliability, I’ll care for your pet with the same attention and kindness I’d give my own. I take safety seriously and will follow any instructions or routines you provide to ensure your dog feels comfortable and loved. Whether in your home or during outings, I’ll create a safe and caring environment where your dog can relax, have fun, and feel completely secure.

About: Since 2018, I’ve been the go-to Rover sitter for pet parents who want peace of mind and pups who want nonstop love and attention. 🐶 I don’t just ‘watch’ dogs. I keep them safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own.” I trust dogs more than I trust most humans, which makes this more than just a side gig for me. Caring for your pups is something I genuinely enjoy. Why choose me? • 🛡️ Safety first: Your dog’s wellbeing is always my #1 priority (and mine too, because let’s be honest, no one wants a Rottweiler deciding I look like a chew toy). • 🏃♀️ Active & alert: I’m quick on my feet, tuned in, and ready to spring into action if a situation gets “ruff.” • 🧠 Dog smarts + intuition: I have a natural ability to read dogs’ body language and moods, whether I’m meeting a nervous Chihuahua or a 120 pound gentle giant. • 📸 Peace of mind updates: Expect photos, videos, and proof of tail wags so you feel like you never left. Over the years, every dog I’ve cared for has left a paw print on my heart (and sometimes a little slobber on my shirt). Big or small, shy or spunky … I’ve worked with them all, and I strive to make every pup feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. If you want a sitter who will love your dog like family, treat safety like sacred ground, and sprinkle in a little humor along the way, I’m your person. 🐾 Taking care of dogs isn’t a side gig for me . Definitely a lifestyle. I already have my own little wolfpack, so loving, protecting, and spoiling pups is second nature. When your K9 is with me, they’re not just “watched”… they’re family. Think of it as a WIN/WIN: your dog gets unconditional love and adventure, and you get peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and thriving. I can’t wait to meet your best friend (and claim them as my new sidekick).
