“We had such a great experience! Yara was so well taken care of, and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We received updates and photos every day, which made us feel connected and reassured that she was happy and in good hands. It was clear that Yara was loved and cared for like one of their own. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
About: I communicate and send pictures and updates with all visits. I care for you pet like they were my own & they'll get snuggles and extra love from my kids. I used to work for the PetSmart pet hotel back in college and I've had experience with all sorts of animals from farm animals to domestic pets. I have more recent experience with farm animals such as goats, chickens, quail, rabbits, peacocks, sheep, guardian dogs, donkeys, and ducks, horses, and some livestock. I recently sold my farm to move closer to town. I am a stay at home mama and I can come in the mornings and evenings at minimum but likely will add in 1-2 mid day visits. I communicate everything and expectations with you. I have a fenced yard, I can bring a leash or small kennel for cats, I'm experienced with loop leads, regular collars, and harnesses.
“Emily and her family were wonderful! Communication before and during our stay was excellent. We received multiple messages throughout the week along with pictures of our dog! Emily and her husband genuinely care about animals, highly recommend and will 1000% use her again for any pet sitting needs!”
“Tammi was wonderful. First time my dog had been anywhere but home overnight. She sent updates and pictures to help ease my mind while I was away. Highly recommend her and will be using her services again in the near future.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Christina! She took great care of our dog for an entire week and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and quick responses whenever we had questions. It was clear our dog was well cared for and happy. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
“Awesome place to keep your dog, Amy is very nice and is good with dogs. The property is beautiful and theres lots of room in the fenced area, and several fields to walk and sniff. I recieved lots of pictures and updates the whole time. She took fall photos of George dressed him up like a turkey and he even had Thanksgiving dinner. I would definitely come back here to board my dog.”
“Belly rubs and hair bows! Zelda didn't go to a Rover, she went to a Spa! Seriously, this is the place to bring your dog while you take a day to visit the Ark Encounter. We have nothing but good to say about our experience. Book her, now!”
“Abbie was so great! She did a very thorough meet and greet with my dog and hers so make sure everyone got along before I left. She kept me very updated with pictures and videos which was much appreciated. Maui was well taken care of and loved, and left me with total peace of mind while traveling. Cannot recommend Abbie more, and will be using her again!”
“Rachel was awesome! I can tell my dog, Dale, had a great time during his stay. Rachel kept me up to date the entire time with texts and pictures you can tell she loves animals. I highly recommend! 👍”
“Jane is amazing! I'm so happy I found her to dog sit while me and my family were on vacation. She sent us lots of pictures and kept us updated on how he was doing every day. Couldn't be happier!”
“As always, Mike and Amanda were amazing! Moose is still sleeping because he had such a great time playing and visiting! Mike and Amanda accepted on such a last minute impromptu mini vacation, and I was thrilled to have them again! I can't wait to have them watch my boy for our summer vacation! They are absolutely wonderful to work with and very accommodating! Until next time!👋”
“Angel always treats our girl wonderfully. She is accommodating, responsive, caring and keeps us informed of how our sweet old lady pup is doing during her stay. We have sent our girl to Angel three times now and it won't be the last.”
“Matt & Jill were great with our dogs! Very good communication and sent pictures daily. Was very happy to have a sitter that does not require the pups to be crated and they were able to sleep on their dogs beds.”
“Henry loved every minute staying at their house!!! William and Haley sent us pictures and updates which helped to take the worry away and every picture showed Henry enjoying cuddles and fun! They were very flexible with arrival and departure, super accommodating (really only had to pack food), and the fenced in yard looked like a dream playground for any dog full of energy. I would not only highly recommend them, but we’ve found a dog sitter that we will FOR SURE use again!!!! This family is amazing and they had plenty of love to share with our pup Henry ❤️❤️”
“Eliza took such great care of our beagles!! She was more than happy to meet prior to us leaving our dogs with her just so we could know who was watching our pups and to ease some anxiety. My dogs loved her right from the start and had such a great time with her! Highly recommend and will definitely rebook!”
“Five starts is not enough! Care and communication were out of this world! ❤️ Cannot say enough good things about Patricia! She loved our little guy like her own and that made our dog parent hearts so happy. She sent 30 plus photos daily with a full report on how our guy was doing. We are blown away by Patricia’s services and sad that we live in Georgia and cannot use her regularly. But she will be our top pick whwn needed”
“I am so glad this is not too late. It's been so hectic at home after my surgery I completely forgot. Hailey came through again! Last minute too. I'm so thankful I was able to make my trip because she and her partner took wonderful care of my dogs. This is the second time they've been in her care and one of my dogs, Ganon, just waltzed into her house like he knew her well. Lol. Krypto is my shadow so he was less enthusiastic at first, but she always handles him well too. I will definitely keep returning! Thank you!”
“Fantastic, trustworthy pet sitter. I was nervous to leave my fur baby and Jane did a wonderful job making me feel comfortable and keeping me updated while I was away.”

“Harley seemed to have a good visit with Hannah! It was a semi-long day for Harley in the crate, but he was still tired for bed which means he must of had a good energy release when Hannah visited.”
“Hailey is amazing. I highly recommend her. She has looked after my kitten twice and my dog once. It's nice knowing someone I can rely on is looking after my pets. Thanks Hailey!”
About: I have owned cats my whole life, I love them very much! I have cared for kittens and older cats. I care for your cat as my own! I pay attention to details and I notice things out of the ordinary. I do what it takes to keep your cat safe! I love to play with cats, too.
“Ashley was awesome. I would definitely recommend her and book her again! She was super attentive and caring to our dog while we were away. She sent pics and took our dog for a walk everyday. Super kind and responsive. No issues at all. 😊”
About: My first pet was my cat, Roxy and she was my first true love. We adopted her when I was in the third grade, and as an only child who had been begging my parents for a pet, Roxy quickly became my BFF. I also learned quickly that we are just humans living in the cat’s world. And it made me love her and cats even more. When it comes to sitting cats, I understand the importance of letting your cat be itself. I take the time to learn your cat’s personality and tailor my approach to your cat. If your cat doesn’t like attention and only needs me to refresh its food bowl, I can do it. If your cat is more like a dog and wants attention and pets, I can do that too. I relish the opportunity to meet with you and your fur baby (or plural!) and come up with a sitting plan that is tailored to your cat and your home while you are away!

I’ve had many pets growing up and I now have two of my own. I have two dachshunds named Harmony and Hazel. My favorite pet I’ve ever owned was my chinchilla! Her name was Bella. A home is not the same without a pet. I currently work a part time job and know my schedule two weeks at a time. I also have a business and work from home for that.

I also have a full finished basement so if you need your pet to be crated or would like for them have a large space to themselves I have plenty of room.
“Kelsey was the absolute sweetest. She came prior to my trip to meet my two cats so she could learn a little about them and my apartment before hand! Kelsey watched them over a holiday weekend where I assumed there would be lots of commotion and fireworks in our area and she was very communicative in reassuring me that the cats were safe. She sent me photos of the cats every night and they looked so so happy! In addition to all of these amazing things, we came home to our apartment fully cleaned even tho we told her no cleaning was necessary. Kelsey really helped to alleviate the anxiety of traveling and leaving your pets at home for me!”

“Took excellent care of our dog and sent lots of pictures and videos. She was very responsive and it was very easy and convenient to leave our dog while visiting the Ark!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience! We are on vacation visiting the Ark Encounter. Loved all the pictures, the updates on what he did and knowing he got lots of love from the family was really nice. Would highly recommend them to anyone, they took extra special care of our pup!”
“My dog had a fabulous time with Amy and her other dogs. I was from out of State and was nervous to leave my girl with a stranger, but she showed me around and explained her setup and system of care. It put me at ease. My dog went off wagging her tail with Amy without even looking back at me. Amy texted me updates and pictures of my dog during the day. I would recommend Amy to everyone who loves their dog.”
About: good with senior pets and puppies, kind and patient , very loving, safe and trust worthy, Positive attitude and safety is always important to me. I have no preference when it comes to my schedules! I’m open and always ready to serve! And have fun with your fur babies! :) Following specific instructions to detail to make sure pets are well cared for and safe, fun and lovable so they’re never lonely or bored !
About: I've had pets my whole life and absolutely love animals! I have a ton of experience with all types of animals and absolutely will love yours like my own! I have worked with animals from babies to elderly and have provided many aspects of care and maintenance. I am home almost all day everyday unless running errands, which never take me long. I will have plenty of time to play with your pets and spend time with them! I am available for house sitting, walking, and check ins throughout the weekend. I have 3 of my own dogs. 2 high energy GSPs that require lots of exercise and attention, as well as a Chihuahua who is an old lady who loves attention and her alone time. I am open to introducing them if you want to work on socialization! I also have experience with kennel and potty training.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently care for a multi-dog household of my own, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. From high-energy breeds that need structure and exercise to older dogs who just want a calm, predictable environment—I adjust my care to fit what your dog actually needs. I have hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, crate training, basic commands, and monitoring group dynamics to keep things safe and stress-free. I’m especially mindful when introducing dogs, supervising play, and making sure everyone gets attention without things becoming chaotic or overwhelming. I’m also used to keeping a close eye on behavior and health—changes in appetite, energy, or mood don’t go unnoticed. If something seems off, I catch it early and communicate right away. Above all, I treat every dog like they’re my own: safe, structured, and well cared for… with a little extra spoiling mixed in. Your dog won’t just be watched—they’ll be known, understood, and genuinely cared about while they’re with me. I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility to build my day around the dogs in my care—not the other way around. I’m able to accommodate a variety of routines, including specific feeding schedules, medication timing, crate needs, or just extra attention for dogs who need it. Structured potty breaks are offered at least every 2 hours, and I’m home throughout the day to provide consistent supervision, interaction, care and additional breaks if needed. Whether your dog thrives on structure or needs a little extra flexibility, I can adjust to what works best for them to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. All care is provided in my home, where I keep things calm, structured, and closely supervised. Because I’m home throughout the day, dogs are not left unattended for long periods, and I’m able to actively monitor behavior, play, and overall well-being. I’m very intentional about safety—introductions are done slowly and thoughtfully, and I pay close attention to each dog’s temperament to make sure everyone is a good fit. I don’t allow chaotic, unsupervised group play. Instead, I keep things controlled so dogs can feel comfortable, not overwhelmed. My home is dog-friendly and set up with both secure indoor space and safe outdoor access for potty breaks and fresh air. I also maintain clean routines for feeding, water, and rest areas to keep everything consistent and stress-free. Above all, I treat every dog like they’re my own—kept safe, well cared for, and genuinely looked after, not just “watched.”
About: Warning ⚠️! Your furry companion will be worn out with fun activities in my large fenced in backyard, with additional happy walks and hikes. When it's time to rest, they will enjoy relaxing in my spacious clean home with plenty of love and care. I am a stay-at-home mom with children who attend summer camps. Drop off can be as early as 7:00 a.m. and for overnight stays 6:00 p.m. Pick up times can be negotiated. Large safe neighborhood, in the heart of Independence. You can trust that I will be with your pet for most of the day and I always let the owners know if I have errands to run or appointments to attend. My children are 7 and 10 years old, they absolutely love animals. They have been educated on the proper way to approach and play with dogs and cats. At no time will the children be left with your pet alone. When my husband is in town, he arrives home around 5:45 every evening and is a big dog lover. He misses having a dog but travels too much for the military.
“Sadie and Lola had the BEST day playing with their new friends! I’ve had a lot of experience with Rover and could easily see that my girls felt welcomed and cared for throughout their stay! Jamie was quick and efficient in responding to all my questions. I received updates and pictures throughout the day and could see my girls were in the best of hands! Sadie and Lola will be back soon! I highly recommend Jamie!”
About: I've always have dog in my life, and my passion for dogs will last forever. My friend told me that I don't treat my dogs as dogs but babies. Remember, a genuine love for animals and a commitment to their well-being are at the heart of any successful pet care experience! I'm currently full time house wife with 2 dogs, no kids. My daily routines are my dogs, so I have a lot of time to watch yours too! We walk 4 times a day, and enjoy homemade dog treat and food. I don't have yard so I walk dogs instead (3-4 times a day), and I always clean them right after walking so they are allowed on furniture. Remember, a walk a day keep vet away. I do have crates if needed.
“Leeann was amazing with a last minute booking and being so flexible on drop off and pick up times. Thank you for finding a calm room for her to stay where she was comfortable too!”
About: I am a stay-at-home mom so I am home most of the time. I can give your doggo all the attention they need. I've taken care of dogs really for as long as I can remember. I had a great dane as a teenager so big dogs are no problem. I am a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom so I am home a most of the time, never gone for long. I am available seven days a week. I have a large fenced in yard that doggies love! I only take one dog at a time or two "sibling" dogs so that everyone can get along and hang out together. I want dogs to feel welcome in my home. I have two cats that are very used to dogs. I have a very large dog kennel to keep your dog safe when I am out and about and at night.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child. We groom our cocker spaniels. If you want your dog bathed or groomed we can provide the service for an additional fee.

About: We’ve had animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm in southern KY I am used to caring for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, birds, miniature pigs, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, etc! Our animals have always been apart of our family and go where we go! Our animals are allowed on the furniture, sleep in our bed, and love to visit our parents house! I am a stay at home mom so adding a pet into our daily routine is actually pretty easy! We’re used to care for our own dog! We just have them join whatever we’re doing which makes it easier. I have two Littles who love to play outside and take them walks so I usually just have our pups tag along! Our pups routine is usually out to pee in the morning, a walk after her breakfast, lots of outdoor play or sunbathe time while me and my two kiddos play our back, another walk once the kids take their naps, more play time with the kids, another walk after dinner, then a pee break before we get into bed for the night! I’m home all day as a stay at home mom and my husband is fully remote so our pup is used to having somewhere there for whatever she needs or when we do go out and about if we’re able to we take her! Our dog frequents our parents house for even more cuddles and play! Animals are always part of the family on our end.
“Allison and her family are the BEST!!! They took such good care of our very little puppy ! He is still working on potty training and Allison was understanding and accommodating . Her dogs got along great with our new puppy!! She sent pictures throughout the day and made us feel at complete ease. Mylo did not want to leave their house, he had so much fun. Would Highly recommend !! Will be using again :)”

“We were on our way to the Ark Encounter and needed a place for our two dogs to stay. Mariah and Anthony were kind enough to take them in for the day. Our dogs felt right at home. They have a nice fenced in back yard and was very safe for them to play in. Their two German Shepherds were very nice and friendly and got a long great with our two dogs. Mariah and Anthony were very friendly and we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again if we were in the area.”
About: We only take dogs up to 30lbs due to my daughter being afraid of most bigger dogs despite us having one of our own. We will give consideration to dogs over that weight if we feel it’s a good fit. We have recently begun boarding in our home again and have adopted a new goldendoodle Lincoln on 3/22/24. He will be about 60lbs once full grown He’s sweet and full of energy and loves to play with all dogs. I have had my own dogs for about 11 years and have also taken care of friends pets although usually in their own homes.

“Hailey was prompt in responding and answered all my questions, putting me at ease that my dog would be cared for. She provided updates and photos during care. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets regularly since 2017, but I’ve loved pets for much longer. Once I adopted my first dog Mia, my love for her grew into a love for every dog I lay eyes on, and I quickly became the designated sitter for all my friends’ pets. I’ve done it all from staying at their houses, taking their pets into my house, popping in for walks or play dates, and even taking in lost animals off the street to reunite them with their owners. Anything that gives me a chance to show an animal love and genuine care sets my heart aglow. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet, and that’s why when I pet sit, I treat your pets like my own because I know that’s exactly what I would want for Mia. I know every animal is different and I work with pet owners to set a plan for their pet and I follow it to a tee to keep the pet’s routine as regular as possible while the owner is away. I have extensive experience working with senior pets and pets with health problems (Mia being one herself), and I know first hand how important it is to find someone you trust to leave your pet with, especially if there are health issues, while you are gone. I relish the opportunity to meet you and your fur baby(or plural!) and would love to chat about a sitting care plan with you! More of my story: It all started when we adopted my family’s first fur baby when I was 8. As an only child, I’d begged my parents for a pet for years and they finally gave in when I was in the third grade. We adopted the last kitten left of the litter at the local pound. She was a black kitten that I named Roxy. Roxy and I were inseparable during my childhood, and I can’t imagine what it would have been like growing up without her. In 2017 when I got a place of my own that allowed pets, I adopted my first dog. Found on the streets, malnourished, severely underweight and her hair lost to mites, she had just given birth to a litter. I was volunteering as a dog walker at the local shelter at the time, and when I met her, I knew from that moment that my volunteer gig had turned into something much greater. I adopted her, and 9 years later, Mia and I are one and the same. I have one other part time job serving, so I have extensive availability for you and your pet(s) and can focus especially on your pet’s needs while you are away. I will stay at your home to keep your pet in its trusted environment. We will meet before you leave to go over routines and other details for your home and your pet’s environment.
About: I've taken care of my own dogs and assisted my friends and neighbors dogs and cats since I was a child. I love playing with dogs and cats of all ages and have ample experience with litter boxes and pooper scooping as well as giving medications and special dietary needs. I love cats and dogs of all ages but have the most experience with kittens and senior dogs. I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is different every day and every week. I am usually very flexible and am able to move around my schedule as needed. I will be walking your pet as the pace that they set and am open to discussions with what your pets needs are while they are with me. Time and distance can be discussed as needed as well. I am also open to discussion on how you prefer your pet cared for/played with in your home for a drop in. My goal is to make you and your pet as comfortable as possible with the pet care provided.

About: I started babysitting at around 13, from then on through high school and into college, I found a love for caring for both animals and children. As I got older I began routinely house/pet sitting for my aunt who had 4 cats and my grandma who had 3 dogs. Most recently I house sat for a MSgt in Abilene Texas who had 2 cats and 2 dogs for a little over a week. Being recently separated from the Air Force, my schedule is flexible as I am seeking to ease back into work- while also maintaining flexibility, as I intend on being a full time student in the fall. If secured prior to July 1, I intend on curating my schedule to long term clients. I have an open schedule for now- but again fully intend on tending to future clients needs. I treat every pet as my own. that means with respect, patience, guidance as needed, and above all else - love and protection. I will tend to everyday tasks of living with the best quality of life in mind for each fur baby in my care.

About: I walk the dogs at the animal shelter when I have extra time. I have done this on and off for about 3 years when I can. I work part time night shift and I’m in school 3 or 4 mornings a week, but I often have time in the afternoons and weekends. I have grown up with dogs and cats. I have 3 cats and 1 large dog at home and have always loved the company of animals.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for pets is second nature to me. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, a rabbit, turtles, snakes, and fish. I currently have two dogs, a cat, and a snake that I’ve raised and cared for daily—my snake has been with me for 15 years, my dogs for about 8 years, and my cat for the past year. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, and I bring patience, attentiveness, and genuine love to every animal I meet. Whether it’s energetic puppies, senior pets, or more unique companions, always providing patient, reliable, and loving care. I’m currently between jobs, which gives me lots of flexibility and free time to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust easily to your schedule. This allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship without feeling rushed. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I always follow your instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or just giving extra love and playtime. Safety and trust are my top priorities, and I’ll treat your pets with the same patience and care I give my own.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was little. I remember getting my very first puppy as a kid. Dogs have always been my best friend and I wouldn’t want it any other way. I work from home so I can be available for the times you need for me to watch your best friend. My doggie always has care if I need to be gone. My dog goes to doggy daycare to meet new friends and be friendly around other people and other dogs. We go on walks twice a day and even something three times a day. I will give your best friend lots of cuddles.
About: I am new to the area! I have had an extensive foster care history over the past 3 years prior to relocating. I adore all fur babies but have the most experience with elder and special needs pups. I love animals, big and small. I have my own sweetheart pup and live with two cat friends (plus a lizard). I work as a nurse. Medication administration is no problem at all if needed as well. Please help cure my foster withdrawal and let me be there for your furry family members! I currently am taking a break from full time nursing to focus on enjoying life more. With advance notice, I can be available most days/times. Don’t let that discourage same day requests though! I take the time to learn pet needs and enjoy getting to know their personalities. The approach I use for each animal is based on what they respond best to. I encourage families to share likes and dislikes of their animal friends to promote a low stress environment as they get to know me. I can administer medication, take them for car rides or walks if desired. Companionship in any form is something I look forward to providing them!!

About: Since about 12 years old my neighborhood friends would hire me to dogs sit while their family went out of town. I’ve always had a huge amount of love for animals so I never had any problem doing so. Fast forward 5 years later my parents began breeding French bulldogs. My siblings and I had a lot of responsibility on our hands are far as feeding them, bathing, keeping them groomed, making sure they’re up to date on shots and etc. I currently work from home so that’s enables me with plenty of free time to walk, play with/take to the park, and feed your lovely animals! In my home my dog is crate trained. I do have a crate for my puppy for if friends come over and are not comfortable with him I can put him away for a few hours. I prefer all animals be crate trained , but only go to the crate if they would like to do so. I do not mind dogs walking around my house. I have a puppy of my own so every morning I get up and take my puppy on a 30 minute walk as well as every evening once I get home from work. I have an animal friendly house so I usually let pups/kittys run around the house as long as they’ve been fed and taken out for a potty break.

I recieved lots of pictures and updates the whole time. She took fall photos of George dressed him up like a turkey and he even had Thanksgiving dinner. I would definitely come back here to board my dog.”

Cannot recommend Abbie more, and will be using her again!”

They are absolutely wonderful to work with and very accommodating! Until next time!👋”

“Five starts is not enough! Care and communication were out of this world! ❤️ Cannot say enough good things about Patricia! She loved our little guy like her own and that made our dog parent hearts so happy. She sent 30 plus photos daily with a full report on how our guy was doing. We are blown away by Patricia’s services and sad that we live in Georgia and cannot use her regularly. But she will be our top pick whwn needed”
“I am so glad this is not too late. It's been so hectic at home after my surgery I completely forgot. Hailey came through again! Last minute too. I'm so thankful I was able to make my trip because she and her partner took wonderful care of my dogs. This is the second time they've been in her care and one of my dogs, Ganon, just waltzed into her house like he knew her well. Lol. Krypto is my shadow so he was less enthusiastic at first, but she always handles him well too. I will definitely keep returning! Thank you!”
“**Review for Jamie:** Jamie was fantastic! She watched our dog Sarge for a full week and did an amazing job.

We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”

“Scout and Fergus were treated to a stay with Lindsay and family during our visit to Cincinnati. We were so very pleased with the treatment and care given our dogs. We will not only use Lindsey again, but consider more visits to the area having confidence that our pets have made new friends. I’ll never forget Lindsay’s 4 year old waving and shouting “I love you” to the dogs as we drove away. Big smiles. Thanks guys. They love you too sweetie.”
“Kelti&Tanner were incredible. Their home is so friendly, warm, and clean. They were incredibly flexible, communicative, responsive, and loving. We received plenty of proactive communication and couldn’t have asked for a better Rover experience. Jet & Sophie loved staying with them! We recommend them without any hesitation!”
