“Adam and family took great care of our pups! They sent pictures and updates every day and I felt like they genuinely cared for our precious dogs. One of our pups has a hard time getting along with other dogs at first, but they were patient, introduced her slowly to the others, and she eventually settled in. Thanks for all the doggie snuggles! We'll be back!”
“Stephen and Angela took great care of Copper! He seemed right at home with them and they were very communicative! We would use them again for our next trip!”
“Angela made Sophie one of her family for over two weeks. She sent lots of pictures every day and it was obvious Sophie felt at home. We were afraid she might not want to come home.”
“We had the best experience! Our dog was well loved and got loads of playtime and care while we were traveling. He was great about photos and videos, which helped ease missing her. Stefan was friendly, personable, professional, and reliable. We’ll book with him again, no doubt.”
“Dan was amazing ! I could tell by the pictures and videos that Neghan really enjoyed himself! He had a lot of walks and potty breaks. I would highly recommend Dan. She is outstanding !”
“Beth was so patient and kind, I have never left my dog with a non-family member and she's a little codependent but Beth (and Tupac/Kiddo!) were so sweet and made her feel at home. She sent updates over the weekend and was amazing with our pickup/drop off schedule and my anxiety. Thanks so much!”
“Gabriella was fantastic. She watched my dog, Barkleigh for four days and sent me photos and updates. Great communication and a very nice person. Barkleigh will be back.”
“I was a nervous wreck leaving our puppy for the first time and she made this whole experience absolutely wonderful. Sent lots of pictures and videos. Will definitely try to book with her in the future if possible.”
“Carla was the nicest, sweetest hostess to my pup. I came from out of state to visit. I found her on Rover.com, near where I was staying. I have had excellent results using their app. I highly recommend her and am planning on using her again. My pup loved playing with her dog too. Lynda G.”
“Wow, I’m speechless just how amazing this experience was not only as a human, but my puppy was happy and clean when I came back. Heather is truly an angel and I can’t speak to what a blessing she was for us to leave our fur baby! 10 stars! Can’t thank her enough.”
“Ebony was a good communicator, very kind w our dog and gave us a nice note and special treats at the end. She sent us a video of our dog the first night and was quick to answer our inquiries about how he was doing. We would use Ebony again and highly recommend her.”
“Molly was a happy girl when I picked her up. She seemed to enjoy the time she spent with Jared and Waverly. They also sent a lot of pictures while she was there. Thank you Jared and Waverly.”
“Heather was great! We highly recommend her, my dog had a great time at her house which was perfect because doesn’t have steps. She send us updates and pictures daily giving us a peace of mind.”
“Jim is a great dog sitter. My dog Norman love it there with his two other pups. I have had other sitters from rover and Jim is the best I have had. I like the included play area that is set up for the dogs as well.”
“Lilli was great communicating with us regarding Penny. We were out of cell network, so some photos and updates didn't work, but with some extra efforts, Lilli was able to let us know that she and Penny were doing fine, and she managed to send photos despite the setback. We will rebook with her when we have need of sitter!”
“Elizabeth and Phil were awesome pet hosts and took such good care of our two dogs. They were super communicative and sent pictures of their adventures on walks and at the dog park. Would highly recommend!!”
“I felt so comfortable knowing that Megan was caring for my girls while we were on vacation! We even had some cute pics to enjoy showing that they were having a great time.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Sean did a great job. I have two large dogs and had concerns with leaving them at another persons house. We completed a meet and greet, walked the dogs and agreed we would complete the booking process. Sean did a great job of communicating throughout the visit and made sure both of my dogs got plenty of time outside and plenty of walks. Sean went above and beyond for my pups! Will definitely book with him in the future.”
“Sharon is absolutely amazing! My boy is a very anxious boy and has severe separation anxiety. Sharon had him so comfortable and settled almost immediately. I am so grateful to her for the care and love she gave Salem while I was out of the country for two weeks. Sharon provided me multiple daily updates complete with adorable videos of Salem. Her dog, Wes, was the perfect buddy for Salem too! Her fenced-in yard is fantastic for doggies to sniff and play in. I was so nervous to leave my boy for so long, but having Sharon as his sitter truly made all my worries disappear. She was also incredibly flexible and understanding when I had a flight delay. I cannot recommend Sharon (and Wesley!) enough!!”

About: As a graduate student and lifelong animal lover, I bring both reliability and genuine care to every pet I work with. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, and I’m especially comfortable with larger breeds and pets with unique personalities. I have my own 8-year-old chow-shepherd mix, so daily long walks, patience, and attentive care are already a huge part of my routine. I also have experience caring for senior pets and understand the importance of slower pacing, medication routines, mobility awareness, and extra comfort and patience. Whether your pet loves active walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply calm companionship, I tailor my care to their individual needs and personality. I’m dependable, observant, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine since I already spend a lot of time walking and caring for my own dog every day. I currently have full availability on Wednesdays and weekends (Saturday and Sunday), and I’m also available for evening walks and drop-ins on weekdays between 7–9 PM. I genuinely enjoy being active, spending time outdoors, and giving animals attention and care, so incorporating pet care into my weekly schedule is something I truly look forward to. I adapt my care to each pet’s individual routine and needs to help them feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Whether that means long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, giving medicine, potty breaks, check-ins, cuddle time, or simply providing calm companionship, I’m happy to do it all. I know how important consistency is for pets, so I always aim to follow the owner’s instructions closely while giving every animal plenty of attention, patience, and care.
About: Not only have I worked with animals my whole life I also work with dogs specifically with a rescue organization called AdoptMeBluegrass. I help with their animal care weekly and am part of their foster program. My family and my own dogs have welcomed hundreds of others into our home and always provide excellent care. I am a local landlord and typically only go out to work at the pet adoption center for AdoptMeBluegrass. I have no set work hours. I spend my time with the dogs. I have a double fenced property on a dead end street. Dogs love the 3/4 dedicated dog yard for them to play on our 6 acres of land. We have crates and can make your pet feel right at home. I’m a treats giver so let me know if there is something they can’t have or any other dietary restrictions. I can also come to your pet for services while you are away.
About: I’m a dedicated animal lover who volunteers at a shelter cleaning cat kennels. With my experience in the shelter I’ve learned to prioritize calm, attentive, and reliable care for cats. I understand that every cat has their own personality some are social and cuddly, others are independent observers and I always adjust my care to match what makes your cat feel most comfortable. With my Dog Shelter Handling Certificate and RECOVER Pet CPR certification, I bring knowledge of safe animal handling, behavior awareness, and emergency preparedness. I’m comfortable caring for cats of all temperaments, including shy, anxious, or senior cats who need a gentle and patient approach. With me, your cat can expect: - Consistent feeding and litter care routines - Playtime tailored to their energy and personality - Calm companionship (or respectful space, if they prefer solitude) -Daily updates with photos and notes for peace of mind My goal is to keep your cat feeling safe, relaxed, and cared for in their own home while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I treat every visit with patience, respect, and attention to detail so both you and your cat feel at ease. I look forward to meeting you and your feline friend!
“Lauren & Joseph took great care of our GSD russ while we were out on vacation! Photos of every drop-in were provided and communication was excellent. They went above and beyond by cleaning up after our dog in his backyard area!! Would definitely suggest going with them if you’re looking for exceptional care and will definitely be using them in the future!!”
“Wow! Molly is fantastic. We left for a 10 day long trip for our honeymoon and she made us feel so at ease. We got daily updates of our sweet boys which helped us stay in the loop during our trip. They adored her and normally when we get home from vacation they are noticeably stressed, but not this time. I cannot thank Molly enough for her genuine love of animals. Smokey and Cheddar thank you too!”
About: As both a lifelong cat owner and someone with veterinary technician experience, I understand feline behavior, health, and the importance of keeping cats calm and comfortable in their own environment. I provide attentive care including feeding, litter maintenance, playtime, and close monitoring for any health or behavioral changes. I’m comfortable administering medications when needed and handling cats with patience and respect for their individual personalities. I truly love cats and treat every one in my care as if they were my own.
“Ashlea is a wonderful cat-sitter. She takes great care of our two Ragdoll cats making it possible for us to travel and not worry they are okay. She is punctual, follows all my detailed instructions and we come home to very happy guys! Simply the best!”
About: I moved from Kentucky and am beginning to get settled into the lifestyle of Orlando. I had a very successful Rover business in Kentucky and though some aspects have changed, I would live to get started here. I love being able to help pet owners in the area of housesitting, dog walking and drop ins so that they don't have to put their dog in a kennel or pay way too much for a doggie day care with non-specialized attention. I have been through four leveled trainings with Calli and we have our Therapy License in the state of Kentucky! I am available throughout the week and on the weekends. I love to walk dogs and give them time to run in the yard with a more structured play. Your dog will be greatly cared for and loved. I will devote time to not only give them the physical needs of walking of running, but also the emotional needs. Your dog will get the royal treatment!
About: If your dog thinks every walk is an Olympic event, I'm ready for the challenge. I've been walking dogs in my neighborhood for 9 years and have two dogs of my own, so I know that every dog has a different personality. From energetic pullers to squirrel chasers to dogs who get excited when they see other pups, I've learned how to stay calm, patient, and in control while making sure they have fun. I'm comfortable giving medications, providing overnight care, and adapting to each dog's unique personality and needs. At 21, I have the energy for long walks and active dogs, but also the patience and experience to handle more challenging situations safely and calmly. I treat every dog as if they were my own and work hard to make sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. I’m currently a college student and also working full-time as an intern at a civil engineering firm, so my schedule is pretty structured during the day. The best times for me to care for pets are in the afternoons and evenings. At my home, I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and part of the routine. I stick to their usual schedule as much as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications they need. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and don’t feel stressed while I'm away. In a client’s home, I try to keep things as normal as possible for the pet. I follow all instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding times, walks, meds, or special care. I always make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and enough exercise and attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and keep owners updated so they know their pet is doing well!
About: My husband and I have had dogs our entire life both big and small. We currently have a medium dog who is a dream to walk, and a large dog who walks us but we love both just the same! We would love to host your fur baby at our house or drop in just to give them some love! We have 2 kids who have been raised around animals. Our normal attire is dog hair so we’re not afraid of some shedding. We haven’t been able to stretch our legs out in our bed in 10 years because no matter how comfy our dogs bed is they always end up on ours so we don’t mind if they are on our furniture or bed!
“Holly was incredible! We have four cats, two of which are elderly and two of which are very shy, so I was nervous about leaving them with a stranger. But they all loved Holly and everything went so well! After the first visit my mind was completely at ease for the rest of our trip because I knew the babies were in the best hands. Will definitely be requesting Holly next time and would very highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: Hello! I am a senior at the University of Kentucky. I have grown up around animals my entire life, and I would love the opportunity to take care of your pets!

I love to play with animals, and I will be sure to take good care of your pets! I am willing to provide any services needed to ensure that you are comfortable.

“Our dog's stay with Jim went well. When we first arrived, Stella was nervous being in a new home with strange dogs. But Jim quickly put her at ease - she relaxed within a few minutes. Jim is definitely a dog person. When I picked Stella up, she was as happy as could be.”
About: I have over 18 years of hands-on experience working with animals and take pride in providing safe, knowledgeable care for every pet I work with. I’ve trained multiple dogs in behavioral rehabilitation and personal protection, which has given me strong skills in reading body language and handling a wide range of temperaments. I also have experience working as a veterinary technician, so I’m comfortable monitoring pets for health concerns and administering medications if needed. In addition to dogs and cats, I have extensive experience training and handling horses, which has helped me develop patience, consistency, and a deep understanding of animal behavior.

“Jared and Waverly were great with our dogs, and even managed to get my curmudgeon named skittles to positively interact with a couple older dogs! They were flexible and understanding of my changing schedule, as we were on a road trip and only needed help for a few hours. If I’m ever in Louisville with the doggos again I’d contact them straightaway”

About: I'm Sean, a lifelong dog owner offering Boarding and Doggy Day Care. I work from home full time in Oldham County, steps away from great dog walks along the Ohio River. Your dog gets supervised attention all day, long outdoor walks, in a friendly and fun environment for dogs of any age, breed or size. I lost my dog of 14 years in early 2026 and I'm channeling that love into caring for yours. Taking good care of your pet allows me to do something I truly enjoy while giving you peace of mind while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I am available full-time and every dog is unique, so you can expect that I will tailor each day to your pet's age, energy level, personality, exercise requirements, feeding schedule, and any special instructions you provide. Mornings will include an early morning potty break and outdoor time, breakfast according to your dog's normal feeding schedule, a walk, play session, or quiet outdoor exploration depending on your dog's preferences. There will be plenty of attention and companionship as the day begins. Throughout the day there will be multiple supervised outdoor breaks in the spacious yard and surrounding dog friendly areas. This will include long walks, short walks, play sessions, or relaxation time based on your dog's needs. Fresh water will be available at all times. There will be frequent interaction, supervision, and companionship since I work from home and there will also be comfortable indoor rest periods between activities. Afternoons and evenings will include additional outdoor exercise and activities, dinner according to your dog's established routine, relaxation time indoors with plenty of attention and affection, evening potty breaks and if necessary a walk before bedtime. Individualized care is important for your dog's well being, so before your dog's stay, I will learn about feeding schedules and dietary restrictions, medication requirements, favorite activities and exercise preferences, commands and training cues your dog responds to, sleeping habits and comfort needs and any special routines that will help your dog feel at home. My goal is to maintain as much of your dog's normal routine as possible. During your pets stay your dog will enjoy exercise, companionship, and personalized care. Long walks and adventure or a relaxed day of lounging and affection await so your pet will feel right at home. For safety, dogs are always walked on leash. I am always happy to arrange a meet and greet, either in person or by video call, so you can feel completely comfortable before booking.

About: About Me: Hi! I’m a caring, reliable pet sitter who treats every animal like family. I have more than 10 years of experience with cats and dogs. My husband, our 5-year-old son, and I care for pets together, so your cutie gets lots of attention, companionship, and a warm home atmosphere. We genuinely enjoy spending time with pets—playing, relaxing, and giving them the affection they deserve. We love the outdoors, so if your pet enjoys it too, we’re happy to include fun adventures like neighborhood walks, gentle hikes, and fresh-air outings—always tailored to your pet’s age, energy level, and routine. If I’m staying in a city with a nearby beach, such as San Jose or San Francisco (where I sometimes visit family), we may also enjoy a beach outing, always with your permission and only if it’s a good fit for your pet. For pets who prefer a quieter pace, we’re just as happy to provide calm companionship, enrichment, and cozy cuddle time at home. Cleanliness and health are a big priority for me. I take pride in maintaining a clean, safe environment—deep-cleaning litter boxes, keeping feeding areas tidy, refreshing water bowls, and making sure pet spaces stay comfortable and sanitary. I believe the small details truly make a big difference for pets and their families. Most importantly, I care for every animal as if they were my own. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to behavior cues, routines, and preferences—whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or senior. Daily Updates: I will send daily updates with photos and videos, so you can see how your pet is doing and feel relaxed while you’re away. I can also include notes on meals, walks/potty breaks, playtime, and overall mood if you’d like. What You Can Expect: Loving, family-style care and companionship Clean, healthy pet environment (litter box/feeding area hygiene) Routine-focused care (meals, meds if needed, walk schedules) Daily photo + video updates for peace of mind On a weekly basis, I set aside time for deeper tasks like thorough litter box cleaning, refreshing food and water stations, and ensuring medications or special diets are handled with care. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, these responsibilities don’t feel like chores — they’re a rewarding part of my everyday life. The boarding is available daily after around 3 p.m. When I board pets in my home, I treat them as part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at ease. Pets stay on their normal routine as much as possible — including feeding times, walks, medications, and bedtime habits — so they feel comfortable and secure.
About: I have experience caring for cats, dogs, and farm animals! I am not easily overwhelmed and have cared for as many as 4 dogs, one cat and two horses at a time. I specialize in overnight sitting and have watched over people's pets and homes for as long as 6 weeks at a time. Along with my pet sitting experience, I have years of experience managing a dog grooming and doggie daycare facility. I am very active and enjoy going for walks and playing fetch/running around in the back yard with dogs to insure that they receive plenty of exercise while their owners are away. I am very responsible and will provide you with photo message updates of your pet in addition to phone calls to provide you with peace of mind while you're out of town. I will give your pet tons of love and affection and I will take great care of your home. If you hire me as a pet sitter, you can fully enjoy your time away from home, knowing that I am taking great care of your furry friends! Caring for animals is my passion! I grew up on a farm, surrounded by animals and have always had a love for dogs and cats in particular. I currently pet sit on a regular basis for a number of families. Why I love dog sitting I got my first dog when I was in kindergarten. She was a crazy little Jack Russel Terrier named Maggie who loved to play fetch. Maggie was with me for over 15 years and she sparked my love for dogs. Along with my husband, I now have two huskies named Meeka and JD; I couldn't imagine life without dogs! My experience administering medication I have experience administering pet medication and as long as detailed instructions are given, I am comfortable handling your pet's meds. I am a stay-at-home parent to two young children and two Siberian Huskies. I am typically home all day during the week and can work my weekends around the schedules of my boarding clients. I have a fenced yard with lots of space to run and play. There is plenty of shade, as well as outdoor doggie beds and constant access to water. Inside, dogs are welcome to use dog beds and the couch for napping. Dog gates are used for safety and kennels are available upon request.
“This was our first experience with Rover, and Jessica & Jeremy G. met every expectation and more! They provided a level of care and attention that we couldn't have expected from a pet sitter. I don't think Reyna could have been made to feel more at home. Thank you!”

I’m dependable, observant, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine since I already spend a lot of time walking and caring for my own dog every day. I currently have full availability on Wednesdays and weekends (Saturday and Sunday), and I’m also available for evening walks and drop-ins on weekdays between 7–9 PM. I genuinely enjoy being active, spending time outdoors, and giving animals attention and care, so incorporating pet care into my weekly schedule is something I truly look forward to. I adapt my care to each pet’s individual routine and needs to help them feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Whether that means long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, giving medicine, potty breaks, check-ins, cuddle time, or simply providing calm companionship, I’m happy to do it all. I know how important consistency is for pets, so I always aim to follow the owner’s instructions closely while giving every animal plenty of attention, patience, and care.
“We can not say enough good about Lindsey's care for our dogs while we were away. Loved the daily updates and pictures! We will be calling Lindsey for dog training in the near future. Thank you!!”
About: I'm a responsible, animal-loving mom of three and a lifelong pet owner — from our family pets growing up to dogs of my own as an adult. I’ve helped raise puppies, cared for senior pets, and I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes. Animals warm up to me quickly — I bring calm, friendly energy and always meet them where they’re at, whether that’s a playful puppy or a shy cat who needs patience. These days, my kids’ busy sports schedules keep our household full of energy, but I miss having daily time with animals — which is why I’d love to help care for yours! I understand how important it is to find someone dependable and respectful to look after your pets and your home. I'm trustworthy and always follow care instructions to the letter. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own — with patience, affection, and plenty of playtime or walks to get their wiggles out. I’m available on weekdays during school hours and some weekends for walks, drop-ins, or playtime visits. Since I work my own schedule, I’m flexible and can often accommodate last-minute needs. Whether you need a mid-day dog walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra company for your furry family member, I’ll make sure they’re happy, safe, and loved while you’re away and get the care and consistency they deserve. I don’t currently have pets of my own, which means my full attention goes to yours during our time together. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d expect from someone entering mine. I take time to learn each pet’s routine and comfort level — from preferred walking routes to feeding habits and favorite toys. I keep doors and gates secure, watch closely on walks, and make sure every visit ends with a happy, relaxed pet (and a clean space).
“Julie has been amazing walking our pups!! Great communication and she sends wonderful photos! One of our dogs gets nervous around people sometimes, but she's been comfortable with Julie straight from the start 😃”

“Jenna fit our needs and our dogs needs beautifully and seamlessly. She's a great communicator. Thank You Jenna. We are looking forward to booking more walks with you.”
About: I’ve worked with dogs for over 20 years, with much of that time spent walking and handling shelter dogs—especially those that are anxious or unsure. That experience taught me how important calm, structure, and consistency are in helping dogs feel more confident. I run Trail & Heel, a dog training and adventure-based care service in Louisville. I focus on practical, real-world training—whether that’s working with puppies, improving leash manners, or helping nervous dogs build confidence. Every walk and interaction is handled with intention. For me, care and training go hand in hand, with the goal of helping dogs become calmer, more reliable, and easier to live with. Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday life, so it fits naturally into my routine. I plan my schedule around the dogs I’m working with so I’m not rushing between visits. That means each dog gets calm, consistent attention and a much better experience overall. Care is always tailored to the dog and the service, but the approach stays consistent: calm, structured, and intentional. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their routine—feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and any specific instructions—while also reinforcing good habits like leash manners, calm greetings, and settling. In my home, I keep the environment structured and low-stress. Dogs get supervised time, appropriate exercise (including trail walks when it’s a good fit), and clear boundaries so they can relax and succeed. I only take on a small number of dogs at a time to make sure each one gets the attention they need.
About: I have owned dogs since I was little. Now I have my very own dog and hopefully will have another in a few years. I have watched my friend's dogs before and helped care for sick dogs. I have a very fun and young Lab named Pheona. She’s a good first dog to call my own but I have learned so much from her. It also made my love for dogs stronger. I do not mind coming in and checking on dogs or cats. I also love going on walks with dogs and definitely would love to take dogs for a walk. I can also help keep up training or help out with training. I am comfortable around pretty much all sizes of dogs. I myself have a larger-sized dog but I have lived with a variety of sizes of dogs. I’m a very friendly individual so don’t be afraid to reach out to communicate with me.
About: I have pet sat for family and friends for 2 years now. I have watched everything from dogs and cats to pigs and lizards! I am able to give medications if need be. I am currently working during the day for 8 hours. I usually stop home and will return around 9 each day. On the weekends I tend to be home more. I always make sure the animals are too priority while I’m in your home. Whether it when I wake up, come back or before I go to sleep I make sure all their need are taken care of.
About: I have taken care of many animals my entire life. I have been pet sitting for my family for many years either for adult dogs or puppies, cats and kittens. I love all animals and throughly enjoy spending time with animals. I love playing fetch, going on walks and cuddle times. I am currently a stay at home mom. Both my children are in school now so I have time to spend loving on animals during the day. I am available on weekdays 7:30am-2pm and 6:30pm-9:30pm. On weekends I’m pretty much available all day. I have a large fenced in back yard, I have one dog and one cat. I can crate a dog if needed. I am happy to feed, water and walk your animals.
About: My husband and I have had dogs our entire life both big and small. We currently have a medium dog who is a dream to walk, and a large dog who walks us but we love both just the same! We would love to host your fur baby at our house or drop in just to give them some love! We have 2 kids who have been raised around animals. Our normal attire is dog hair so we’re not afraid of some shedding. We haven’t been able to stretch our legs out in our bed in 10 years because no matter how comfy our dogs bed is they always end up on ours so we don’t mind if they are on our furniture or bed!
“Grace works patiently to gain the dog’s trust. Her questions demonstrate true care and concern. She ensures she is walking at the dog’s pace. Grace is professional, kind and considerate. I feel honored to have met her and trust her completely with my dog.”
About: I've personally had dogs for over 20+ years. My pack has been as small as 1, but as large as 5. I've been active in rescue groups and truly feel like dogs are the answer for any sadness. I've recently lost my soul dog after a 2 year struggle with cancer. My heart isn't ready for another dog, so I am hoping I can still get my cuddles in and help people out in the meantime. I've become a pro at giving medicine, so if you need a midday dose giver, Im your gal! I'm a realtor, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can make most days or evenings work. Whatever your pup needs, I can make it happen! I follow orders, so I won't put your dog into a situation they aren't familiar with. I totally get all animals are different and respect how people work with their own.
About: Hi, I’m Olivia! I’m 28, work remotely, and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pup the time and attention they deserve. I’m a total dog lover and had my own fur baby for 15 amazing years. Through that experience and caring for other dogs, I’ve become very attentive to each dog’s unique personality, needs, and routine.

I’ll make sure your dog gets a safe, engaging, and energy burning walk every time. House Sitting I understand how tough it can be to leave your dog, especially if they have anxiety. I focus on keeping their routine consistent and creating a calm, comfortable environment while you’re away. I have experience caring for both multiple dogs and one on one, so I’m happy to accommodate whatever works best for your pup. I’d love to connect and care for your dog like they’re my own 🤍 I currently work remotely full-time and have lots of flexibility! I'm more than happy to stay in the home to provide company for them. I currently do not provide care in my home If I did, I would treat them as my own and provide a safe and calm atmosphere.

“Adam and family took great care of our pups! They sent pictures and updates every day and I felt like they genuinely cared for our precious dogs. One of our pups has a hard time getting along with other dogs at first, but they were patient, introduced her slowly to the others, and she eventually settled in. Thanks for all the doggie snuggles! We'll be back!”
“Stephen and Angela took great care of Copper! He seemed right at home with them and they were very communicative! We would use them again for our next trip!”

“We had the best experience! Our dog was well loved and got loads of playtime and care while we were traveling. He was great about photos and videos, which helped ease missing her. Stefan was friendly, personable, professional, and reliable. We’ll book with him again, no doubt.”
“Dan was amazing ! I could tell by the pictures and videos that Neghan really enjoyed himself! He had a lot of walks and potty breaks. I would highly recommend Dan. She is outstanding !”
“Beth was so patient and kind, I have never left my dog with a non-family member and she's a little codependent but Beth (and Tupac/Kiddo!) were so sweet and made her feel at home. She sent updates over the weekend and was amazing with our pickup/drop off schedule and my anxiety. Thanks so much!”
“Gabriella was fantastic. She watched my dog, Barkleigh for four days and sent me photos and updates. Great communication and a very nice person. Barkleigh will be back.”

“Ebony was a good communicator, very kind w our dog and gave us a nice note and special treats at the end. She sent us a video of our dog the first night and was quick to answer our inquiries about how he was doing. We would use Ebony again and highly recommend her.”
“Molly was a happy girl when I picked her up. She seemed to enjoy the time she spent with Jared and Waverly. They also sent a lot of pictures while she was there. Thank you Jared and Waverly.”
“Heather was great! We highly recommend her, my dog had a great time at her house which was perfect because doesn’t have steps. She send us updates and pictures daily giving us a peace of mind.”

“Lilli was great communicating with us regarding Penny. We were out of cell network, so some photos and updates didn't work, but with some extra efforts, Lilli was able to let us know that she and Penny were doing fine, and she managed to send photos despite the setback. We will rebook with her when we have need of sitter!”
“Elizabeth and Phil were awesome pet hosts and took such good care of our two dogs. They were super communicative and sent pictures of their adventures on walks and at the dog park. Would highly recommend!!”

“This was my first time using Rover and Sean did a great job. I have two large dogs and had concerns with leaving them at another persons house. We completed a meet and greet, walked the dogs and agreed we would complete the booking process. Sean did a great job of communicating throughout the visit and made sure both of my dogs got plenty of time outside and plenty of walks. Sean went above and beyond for my pups! Will definitely book with him in the future.”
“Missy was a life saver! I was on a trip home while my husband was working late when we got a call from the extended stay hotel about my pups that needed attention quickly. Daisy can be hard to handle during thunderstorms and with strangers, but Missy was able to calm her enough to get her to her house and keep her for the rest of my trip. This is quite the feat considering we'd only left the pups with Missy once before. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Heather did a great job making us feel comfortable that our dogs were being cared for. She sent multiple pictures showing the dogs getting to play outside and even cared for them during some really bad storms. I would definitely reach out to Heather again in the future.”
