“Keitel was amazing and i'd highly recommend! Elio had a great time there and really appreciated the pictures and daily updates. He even took the extra time to help train our puppy which was much appreciated. Really thankful to have found this great place for our dog!”
“Sasha was great with my mini Goldendoodle, Archie! She provided constant updates and photos, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. Archie looked happy and well taken care of the entire time. She was also very flexible when I needed to change the dates, which I really appreciated. I would definitely trust Sasha to watch Archie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“When my dog is at Aurora‘s home, I don’t worry about the care that she’s going to receive. It’s always excellent and they generally seem to really like my dog. I recommend her highly. She does a great job.”
“Samantha was amazing! She kept me updated with photos and videos the entire weekend. She has a very calming and nurturing spirit that my dog Sammy really took to. I would definitely rebook and recommend her.”
“Based on her expertise, Lilly took great care of my cat, Meeruya. I was surprised that Rudy and Lilly got close to my sensitive cat in a short time. Special thanks to Lilly, who understood and cared about my baby’s poop mistakes. She shared the home camera so I could see my pet while I was out of the U.S., and I had no problem communicating with her. She had a strong responsibility and love for Meeruya. I recommend her if you are looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
“Debbie and Mike are awesome with dutchess my German Shepherd 😀 she has been there for a four nights then for last night and Debbie and Mike said she could come back any time . Thank you Debbie and Mike.”
“My corgis Kulfi and Zoey (puppy) had a great time with Zhou. They stayed overnight for a week while we were out on vacation. Zhou is like a dog whisperer as my dogs went after him the first time they met him and just followed him to his car. Zhou took great care of my dogs and introduced them to other dogs and engaged them in playtime and walks. He followed my feeding and playtime instructions and regularly shared pictures of their activities. I’ll recommend Zhou to anyone looking to board their dogs.”
“Jeffery was reasonably priced, prompt in replying and communicated well what to expect. He was very kind and seemed to let Abigail get comfortable at her own speed as she's never stayed with anyone other than 2 or 3 immediate family members. Jeffrey sent pictures as promised and had her packed and ready to go when i picked her up. This was my first time using Rover and very relieved to find Jeffery! I hope he agrees to keep her should the need arise in the future!”
“Kathryn was terrific with communication and taking care of my boy. She asked questions to better help my little guy adjust to the new routine and made some suggestions (bring his beds) that I hadn’t even thought of. Not only will I book with this family again, I also recommend them for anyone with a balanced dog!”
“Darian was great with my boy Floyd!! She sent so many fun updates of him and he looked so happy in every single one. I was very pleased with how she was with Floyd!! Would 100% recommend and go to again :)”
“Heather was a life savor when my previous sitter canceled last minute! She loved my pup as her own and constantly kept me updated with the sweetest photos. Will definitely be contacting her again!♥️”
“Amazing dog sitter. I had never left my dog anywhere and Tanya did outstanding with her. Plus her amazing welcoming family helped a lot to. Definitely will be rebooking with her in the future.”
“Kylie was great with our dog who was a little nervous at first being left in a different environment and meeting new doggie friends and a cat. Kylie took the time to let her get comfortable. Will definitely use her again”
“Sam was so great with our big dog. She sent lots of pictures and it felt like she treated him just like her own dog. Great communication & friendly. Would recommend and will request again for sure.”
“This is our third time using Rover and our first time with Dennis L. Our experience was fantastic. Dennis obviously is a dog lover and took great care of our two large dogs. We received pictures of our dogs while on vacation. Communication was excellent and the process was very easy. We hope to use Dennis again and would highly recommend him!”
“Sara & Jason and their family were unbelievable!!! lots of pictures and I know Chanel was absolutely in heaven! great family especially for a dog who is used to being with their family and not just one person. We will certainly be using them again and again !!”
About: I’ve grown up with and taken care of dogs of all kinds! Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, play and check up on their pets! I’m currently in school studying, which gives me a very flexible daytime schedule. I’m available for walks throughout the day and can accommodate a variety of timing needs, including mornings, afternoons and evenings! I have always grown up with animals but currently do not have any pets of my own. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, am reliable, attentive and happy to make sure your pets get plenty of exercise, attention and care while you’re away
“We will definitely use Meghan again! I felt 100% comfortable leaving my fur baby with her. Meghan sent pictures and updates throughout the stay, which I really appreciated.”
“Jie is a wonderful dog sitter! She took great care of our dogs and sent us daily photos and videos, which gave us peace of mind knowing they were doing well. We truly appreciated her thoughtful updates and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

About: I've been a volunteer at Caring Hands Humane Society for 4+ years, and in January of 2022 I raised a litter of 6 Pomsky puppies! I have a 4+ year old orange Siberian Husky, and I've grown up with a couple family dogs, so I've always been around animals and want to pursue an animal related career! I'm currently working a part time job, and I would love to take your dog for a walk, play with them, or simply keep them company while you're away! I'm available 9am - 9pm Mon, Wed, Thu, but am somewhat flexible on weekends for house sitting. I have a fenced backyard and 2 energetic Siberian Huskies that are very friendly and play well with new dogs; I take them to the Newton dog park often and they absolutely love it! I can provide a crate for a medium - large dog if needed/requested. My dog sleeps in my room with an open crate so she can sleep in her crate or just on the floor. I have plenty chew toys, everything from tennis balls to rope toys to an assortment of squeakers!
“Alexis has been wonderful every time we’ve booked with her. She is tender with our animals and pays attention to them every second she’s there. She always reassures us of our doggies and goes above and beyond. We are grateful for her!”
About: I’ve had a dog most of my life, but I’ve owned Cavaliers for 15 years. I’ve cared for multiple dogs (and cats) at one time. I prefer to care for dogs in your home. I can also care for fish, chickens and do general housekeeping. I reside in El Dorado, but for the last year, I have been substitute teaching in the Wichita metro area. Therefore, I do have some flexibility in my schedule at this point. I’m able to do potty runs during the day provided the distance allows it. I prefer to care for pets in my client’s home so that the dogs are used to their normal environment and routine. If needed, I can care for a single small-medium sized dog in my home, although the dog must be comfortable being on a leash as I do not have a fenced yard. Also, I am not a smoker or drinker.
“Meghan & Kenny were wonderful! Yoda, our Bichon Frise was happy and content everyday we picked him up, he went willingly with them each day and that's saying a lot! They are flexible and when I said I was running late they said it was okay, they were warm and friendly and when I am in Wichita, KS I will definitely be looking them up again, highly recommend!”
“Alyx is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about taking care of animals! Our first meeting was the most thoughtful meet-and-greet I have had with a sitter and Alyx got along great with baby-cat. I felt completely at ease to leave my pet in her care, I definitely recommend Alyx’s services to anyone who wants to make make sure their pet is a priority!”
“Laine was amazing, she made sure my shy cat felt not only at ease but happy. My cat is usually shy but he is completely in love with her to the point that after I came back he kept looking for her!! She is the best pet sitter I've had far best, definitely will ask her to pet sit again in a second.”
“Kimber is positive, upbeat, and had wonderful energy the moment she stepped in to meet the pets. The chemistry between the herd and her was magnificent and the video I received supported it when they were playing. Would love to book her again in the future ☺️”
About: I've been an animal lover since I was four when my first dog came into my life :) I started pet sitting for family and friends when I was around ten, and it's been something I've loved doing ever since. I've cared for all types of pets - from puppies to senior dogs, cats of all personalities, turtles, fish, and even some farm animals! I have no problem giving medications - I've given insulin injections to diabetic dogs many times and understand how important it is to stick to medication schedules. I understand how pets thrive on their familiar routines and environment. I'll make sure to maintain their schedule and send you updates with plenty of photos while you're away :) I know firsthand that there’s nothing better than seeing your pets happy and relaxed when you can't be with them! I work remotely and choose my own hours, so my schedule is quite flexible! I’m a bit of a night owl naturally, so I especially love taking fur babies for evening walks, but any time I get to care for an animal is a great time :) I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, turtles, chickens, and everything in between for over ten years now, so I have experience handling almost every situation that could come about :) I’ve administered insulin via injection to dogs, fed both cats and dogs pills, cleaned up after them if there are any accidents, placed them in (and taken them out of) crates gently and calmly, and generally whatever was necessary to ensure that every pet in my care is happy and well taken care of.
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
About: My experience with cats is not extremely long but pretty decent. A few of my college friends have cats and I have watched their cats for them before. I am well aware of cleaning a litter box, giving medication and also being attentive when the cat needs something.
About: Hi! I also grew up taking care of cats. I grew up with two cats throughout my teen years. They both meant a lot to me and were very sweet and independent. I also volunteered with cats during the four years I was a volunteer at animal shelters in NH.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 8, starting from aquatic pets, reptiles, to common furry in-home pets. I bathe, walk, feed, play, monitor, etc. Your fur baby will be in great hands.

“My family and I are very glad that we found Keitel to care for Goldendoodle (Meelo). As dog lovers, we always wants to ensure that our fur buddy is taken care off in our absence. Keitel check all the blocks and exceed our expectations. Keitel is not only great with dogs but also very knowledgeable with them. Keitel afford my wife and I the opportunity to meet him in advance for us to ensure that the environment was suitable for our Goldendoodle. Throughout the stay, Keitel and his family treated Meelo as if he was his own. We received regular updates and pictures of Meelo and his new favorite family. Meelo was pampered and well taken care of and our mind was at ease. We can’t wait to rebook you again. I highly recommend Keitel to anyone looking for a doggie day care.”
“Debbie was thankfully able to watch archie when our sitter couldn’t and had no problems. she understood that i was stuck in traffic and was able to give me all my stuff back the way it was. would've loved a pic of him playing with the other pups but that’s okay not everyone thinks of that in the moment! hopefully can use her again 🥰”
“Veronica provides a safe, cosy place for dogs to stay when they can’t go with their owner, and my dog Bear was treated like family. Bear is almost 14 years old and not interested in playing, but he got along well with Veronica’s gentle dog, who Veronica carefully introduced to him. He likes to be with people, and he was so comfortable with Veronica that he relaxed at my feet when she and I chatted, instead of pulling me out the door. Veronica was very careful to help Bear negotiate around her house, as he doesn’t see well, and she was clever in making sure he could safely go out. Bear says he would go back anytime and I can heartily recommend Veronica to care for beloved pets.”
“I appreciated Zhou being available at the very last minute during my visit from out of town. My Teddy had been a bit anxious from our long drive and I wanted him to get some of that energy out. Zhou was quick to respond and provided updates when I checked in.”
“Jamie and her family love our fur baby (Toby) as much as we do. Jamie made sure he was a happy boy while in her care with plenty of love, attention, walks, and a bike ride. Jamie sent pictures, videos, and updates on all of his adventures. Toby gets excited when I tell him we are going to go and visit Jamie. It’s his home away from home!”
“Tanya was very helpful and accommodating--even at our last minute confusion of booking. She was very knowledgeable about dogs and their care and knew how to make our dog feel comfortable. Big yard for play and exercise. We would definitely book with her again when we are in the area! Highly recommend!”
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.
About: I lost my girl in late 2024. Pet sitting for others has really helped my heart to heal. I have always had a dog in my life but I am not yet ready to commit to my next soulmate. I work from home full-time and miss having a shadow with me. Comfortable with meds and needles, as needed. Comfortable with elderly dogs. I work full time from home, so rarely would your pet be alone. I treat your dog like I treated my own. If I run an errand, your dog runs an errand with me (as long as you approve). We might take a walk, we might Netflix and chill, we might swim in the summer, it just depends what your dog “tells” me they wanna do! We have two guinea pigs (who can be separated from other animals if needed). It’s just my husband and I and our teen daughter, who is generally the one our guest dogs sleep with! Fully fenced yard available to use with few steps. Upstairs and downstairs of house but not required to go downstairs if they don’t want to. Crate available, if they are trained or need it. I rarely see the need to use it but require crate trained dogs in case I need it. Common reasons would be during grocery delivery (to prevent escapes while door maybe open), unexpected visitors (if your dog would be uncomfortable, etc.), and such.
“we had such a great experience! Alpha was well cared for and felt comfortable right away. I loved getting updates about his day, and it meant a lot hearing that he played a bit with Quinny since he’s not much of a player. also discussed he loves carrots! Which was a fun surprise! he was in a calm, loving environment with Gma and Gpa, and i really appreciated the attention and care he received!”
“Britney my first caretaker of jasper ever did an outstanding job caring for my Jasper!! She easy going and listen to all my concerns ,wishes and keeping informed throughout my trip with information and pictures about Jasper. Having that updated information help me greatly appreciate how important to know that my Jasper was in good health, good hands and took away any anxiety or concerns I might have leaving Jasper alone with someone I completely never met. BRITNEY was a professional in understanding the importance of owner and his/her pet relationship. I would hired and book Jasper with Britney any days of the week!! Rover the app that help me connect and book my first caretaker for Jasper with Britney was easly to operate, book, reschedule, make my payment and selected my caretaker. Having this options help me find the right caretaker for Jasper. All in all, I am satisfied with this experience and arrangements with Britney and Rover!!”
“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.”
About: I grew up in a pet loving family, we always had at least 5 fur babies! I loved having the responsibility of caring for them by myself. I would sometimes bring them over to my neighbors for play dates, I could teach them tricks and play with them all day. I am always home or going for walks, and having a pet by my side always makes my day better. From running around outside to laying on the couch watching a movie having a pet with me always makes it so much more fun! No pet is the same, I adapt to what the pet wants. If it’s an energetic puppy i’ll be energetic if, it’s a relaxed elderly pet i’ll relax with it, they all get the care and environment they will need.
About: My husband and I are lifelong dog lovers who both grew up with dogs and couldn’t imagine our home without them! We currently have three adopted pups from the Kansas Humane Society, and over the past three years we’ve also fostered 11 dogs through KHS — including 5 puppies. Caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels has taught us how important patience, routine, and a loving environment are for every pup. While we don’t feel experienced enough to do any official training, we provide a safe, playful, and affectionate home where dogs are treated like family. Our three dogs love making new friends, and our 9-year-old is a certified ball-throwing expert who adores helping play with visiting pups! I’m also a stay-at-home mom to a 1-year-old who absolutely loves dogs, and I’m always closely supervising interactions to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable. Our home is set up to accommodate different temperaments and needs, with three separate spaces — a finished downstairs area, living room, and kitchen/coffee nook — that can be used for dogs who prefer a quieter environment, slower introductions, or their own low-energy space. We know how important it is to trust the people caring for your dog, and we’ll treat your fur baby with the same love and attention we give our own. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day and have plenty of time, attention, and energy to devote to caring for your pups! My schedule is very flexible, so I’m available most days and times throughout the week aside from the occasional appointment or family activity. When my 9-year-old is out of school, he’s my biggest helper and loves spending time playing fetch and giving extra attention to our furry friends. My 1-year-old is also a huge fan of dogs and happily tags along on walks and outdoor time. Our days are full of play, cuddles, potty breaks, and lots of love, so your pup will always have company and care while they’re with us! Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and three friendly dogs who love making new friends and providing companionship during your pup’s stay. Because we know every dog has a different personality and comfort level, our home is set up with multiple secure, separate spaces to help everyone feel relaxed and safe. Our finished basement has its own outdoor access and can be completely gated off to provide a calm, private area for dogs who need quieter surroundings, slower introductions, or a break from other pups. We also have a separate gated kitchen/coffee nook area with outdoor access that offers a more social environment while still keeping dogs comfortably separated when needed. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day to closely supervise playtime, potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, and rest time. Whether your dog is staying in our home, joining us for walks, or being cared for in your own home, we strive to create a loving, dependable, and low-stress experience for both you and your pet. We also offer drop-in visits and dog walks for local families, and we’re happy to come to your home to feed, let your dog out, provide walks, playtime, cuddles, medication if needed, and lots of attention while you’re away. We know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet and entering your home, and we’ll always treat both with the same care and respect we would want for our own family.
“Linda took great care in reviewing and understanding the needs of my pup. We did a brief introduction to be sure her pets and mine would get along and I was very comfortable leaving him with her. They took several walks so he would settle and he was relaxed when I picked him up. Will definitely be booking again! Thanks Linda!”
About: I currently work as a zookeeper and have years of wild and domestic animal experience. Working with wild animals means I have a much deeper understanding of animal husbandry, psychology, and behavior that allows me to provide better care for your pet! I'm especially comfortable around and handling large dogs due to the nature of my job. Professionally, I have cared for a variety of wild animals including large cats like lions, tigers, and leopards, dolphins, seals and sea lions, and several canid species. That being said, I'm able to provide a deeper level of personalized care. I currently work 5 days a week, usually Wednesday-Sunday. On my weekend, I'm home all day. On my workdays, I'm able to leave during lunch to provide dogs with potty breaks. There is a dog park within walking distance of my apartment that I bring my dogs to every morning and evening. I do also have a dog potty set up inside my apartment just in case a dog can't wait for me to get home. I provide this because I personally wouldn't make myself hold it, so I would never force a dog to do the same. I provide a very safe, relaxing environment where your dog will be treated like family. I approach care with a proactive approach, rather than reactive. This means I always keep a close eye on individual pet behavior as subtle cues can indicate how a pet is feeling at a given moment. Many pet owners miss out on these cues, especially if they aren't trained to look for them. Overall, this means I try my best to create a safe environment for and trusting bond with any animal I work with via positive reinforcement and never push past an individual's limits.
About: I have been a vet tech for 10 years. It is my passion. I had a disabled boxer so I am familiar with need to help disabled pets. I currently share custody of an energetic border collie. My 14 year old daughter loves to assist me when caring for your pet, please let me know if that is okay. I do work full time. If the pet is staying at your house, time permitting, I will check on them before work, lunch, and spend time after work with them. I will treat every pet as if they are mine. I normally feed twice a day and go outside as often as possible; weather permitting of course. If anything seems off, I have experience and a clinic I can take them too if needed.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs both big and small, old and young! I love them all. Whether it be dog-sitting at the owners house while they’re away or simply doing a drop in and letting them play and go outside for a bit, I love caring for them. I’m flexible on hours currently however I’m hoping on getting a part-time job soon! But as for now anytime in the day is a good time for me to come care for your furry friends. With a clients home I always try to be clean and respectful of the space, making sure your fur-baby is safe, comfortable, and where you want them to be!
“Ari is great! She was kind, communicative, punctual, and took excellent care of my pups. She is obviously a natural with dogs. We even had a broken collar situation while I was at work and she found the harnesses and made the walk happen. I highly suggest hiring her to care for your animals. Thank you, Ari!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I am currently in school still but get out early. I am available for walking your dogs anytime after 2:30p.m. I am also available for boarding I have a friendly dog a long with some 6 year old that loves animals along with playing with animals and super friendly with them
About: I've been taking care of pets for family, friends, and neighbors for years. I grew up around dogs and have yet to meet one that doesn't like me. Through the years, I've taken care of all types of dogs and cats; from young, crazy pups to old, sick dogs and from ornery mostly outdoor cats to snuggly kitties that want to use me as a bed. My other job is remote, so my schedule is very flexible for whatever your pet may need. Weekends or weekdays doesn't make much of a difference. I'm also a morning person, so early morning walks, feedings, etc are perfectly fine! For boarding, I have one pet friendly roommate and dog. The dog is so cat friendly that she annoys some cats by trying to convince them to play. My yard is fenced, but there is currently a damaged section that has been covered with temporary plastic fencing. The damage will be repaired soon and until then, I don't let anyone out there without supervision. For house sitting or drop-ins, I treat your pets the way I would want mine treated. I also try to match any routines your pet might be used to, if it's eating at a certain time or always being let out at a certain time, just let me know and I'll make sure to keep things as familiar as possible for your furry friends.

About: I have done rescue work for dogs. I actually have two dogs of my own one. I saved from the Humane Society and one I saved for a rescue who is going to be put to sleep for no reason. I am currently not working so I would be home all of the time with them. They would get all the attention in the world. We have a a fenced in backyard that they would be able to run around in and the cats would be kept inside and fed. What food daily if you please. I have a fenced in backyard and two very very friendly dogs who love new friends. Your dog would be very loved and taken care of. I also have four cats who love to have new friends in they would be very loved and taken care of and would not be let outside at all

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).
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 8, starting from aquatic pets, reptiles, to common furry in-home pets. I bathe, walk, feed, play, monitor, etc. Your fur baby will be in great hands. Flexible, stacked throughout the day 10am - 9pm Scheduled visits fit daily Pet care in time blocks/Pet care around my day Structured daily pet visits I follow each pet’s routine with feeding, fresh water, potty or litter care, playtime, and any special instructions. I keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy while providing updates to owners.
About: Hi! I have taken care of animals since I was a young child. I grew up taking care of a German Shepard and two cats. When I was a teenager I was the primary caretaker for my cat. From age 16-20 I volunteered at two animal shelters working with horses, farm animals, dogs and cats. I gained many interesting experiences working with goats, chickens, ducks and other animals while at the shelter. I dedicated more than twenty hours weekly volunteering. I currently have an older dog, who I adopted over four years ago when I lived in Florida. I am passionate about providing people's pets with quality walks and care. I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to trust someone to take good care of your pet, but I work hard to ensure the pets are well cared for while you are away. I am a nursing student and will be working at my job part time to accommodate my class schedule. When I am not in classes or at work, my availability is very open. My schedule does vary as nursing school schedules vary but I am very communicative regarding scheduling and availability. I care deeply about pet care and ensuring pets are treated with love and kindness. I saw first hand how hard it can be to trust someone to take of your pets while you are away. It is my mission to ensure that each animal in my care is treated with love, kindness and with the utmost care. I ensure that if you trust me with your beloved family member I will make sure that they are comfortable and happy while in my care. I appreciate you considering and trusting me to be apart of your animals life.

“Sasha was great with my mini Goldendoodle, Archie! She provided constant updates and photos, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. Archie looked happy and well taken care of the entire time. She was also very flexible when I needed to change the dates, which I really appreciated. I would definitely trust Sasha to watch Archie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“When my dog is at Aurora‘s home, I don’t worry about the care that she’s going to receive. It’s always excellent and they generally seem to really like my dog. I recommend her highly. She does a great job.”
“Samantha was amazing! She kept me updated with photos and videos the entire weekend. She has a very calming and nurturing spirit that my dog Sammy really took to. I would definitely rebook and recommend her.”
“Based on her expertise, Lilly took great care of my cat, Meeruya. I was surprised that Rudy and Lilly got close to my sensitive cat in a short time. Special thanks to Lilly, who understood and cared about my baby’s poop mistakes. She shared the home camera so I could see my pet while I was out of the U.S., and I had no problem communicating with her. She had a strong responsibility and love for Meeruya. I recommend her if you are looking for a reliable pet sitter.”

“My corgis Kulfi and Zoey (puppy) had a great time with Zhou. They stayed overnight for a week while we were out on vacation. Zhou is like a dog whisperer as my dogs went after him the first time they met him and just followed him to his car. Zhou took great care of my dogs and introduced them to other dogs and engaged them in playtime and walks. He followed my feeding and playtime instructions and regularly shared pictures of their activities. I’ll recommend Zhou to anyone looking to board their dogs.”
“Jeffery was reasonably priced, prompt in replying and communicated well what to expect. He was very kind and seemed to let Abigail get comfortable at her own speed as she's never stayed with anyone other than 2 or 3 immediate family members. Jeffrey sent pictures as promised and had her packed and ready to go when i picked her up. This was my first time using Rover and very relieved to find Jeffery! I hope he agrees to keep her should the need arise in the future!”
“Kathryn was terrific with communication and taking care of my boy. She asked questions to better help my little guy adjust to the new routine and made some suggestions (bring his beds) that I hadn’t even thought of. Not only will I book with this family again, I also recommend them for anyone with a balanced dog!”
“Darian was great with my boy Floyd!! She sent so many fun updates of him and he looked so happy in every single one. I was very pleased with how she was with Floyd!! Would 100% recommend and go to again :)”
“Amazing dog sitter. I had never left my dog anywhere and Tanya did outstanding with her. Plus her amazing welcoming family helped a lot to. Definitely will be rebooking with her in the future.”
“Kylie was great with our dog who was a little nervous at first being left in a different environment and meeting new doggie friends and a cat. Kylie took the time to let her get comfortable. Will definitely use her again”
“Sam was so great with our big dog. She sent lots of pictures and it felt like she treated him just like her own dog. Great communication & friendly. Would recommend and will request again for sure.”
“This is our third time using Rover and our first time with Dennis L. Our experience was fantastic. Dennis obviously is a dog lover and took great care of our two large dogs. We received pictures of our dogs while on vacation. Communication was excellent and the process was very easy. We hope to use Dennis again and would highly recommend him!”
“Sara & Jason and their family were unbelievable!!! lots of pictures and I know Chanel was absolutely in heaven! great family especially for a dog who is used to being with their family and not just one person. We will certainly be using them again and again !!”

Pictures of play time, snuggles, walks and play are always a treat and bring a smile knowing that Bella and Jamie and family are having fun. Our new go-to for doggy sitting. So happy Bella has fun and Jamie and family enjoy having her stay over.”
