I would highly recommend then and Roxy can’t wait to go back!”

“Dan is amazing!! She went above and beyond and gave multiple updates each day with photos and how my cat was doing. Dan cared for her like she was her own and was very attentive to my cat’s needs and quirks. She was always on schedule with feedings and changing the litter. My cat thoroughly enjoyed spending time there and was living her best life! I will definitely Rover with Dan again. I would highly recommend Dan to care for your pet!!”

“Jim has a great set up of safe dog areas. Super friendly and kind! They loved on my dogs as if they were their own. My girls came home happy without skipping a beat! On other occasions, it's taken a few days for them to get back to normal behavior. Not this time! I didn't worry at all about them while I was gone. I will ask them to watch my pups again!”
About: I grew up always being with dogs, and many other animals. Along with walking, running, or just playing with your dog(s) I can also help with training. I have experience with administering medications and am comfortable doing so. As an animal care professional I have 15 years of experience with animals. Not only can I care for your dog, but I can also care for your cats, birds, & fish. I can help with house training and basic behavior training for your pup. All sorts of pets are fun to care for! I am usually available in the evenings and early mornings. I can also house-sit any night of the week. Let me help you keep your pup, or other pet, at its happiest! Have a good day! Pets are great companions for us all. I can't wait to see my dog everyday and make sure he's living his best life which is just how I'd care for your pet.

“Arabella had a great time at Arla's house! Arla did a great job keeping us informed of how Arabella was doing while we were away! Would highly recommend her and her family again!”
“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!”
“Haley was absolutely amazing! Communication was quick throughout the entire process. She was super friendly and her background with animals made me so much more comfortable. During my time out of town she kept me updated with great pictures and videos. Foxy had a blast and was so happy when I picked her up. I would highly recommend Haley!”
“We don’t normally need a dog sitter, but Kristi helped me out in a pinch due to a family emergency, and woke up at the crack of dawn to babysit our 8 week old puppy for the day, it was incredibly nerve wracking trusting a stranger with such precious cargo, but Kristi overperformed and sent us photos/videos every hour, showing us what great and capable hands she was in. She even gave helpful advice to a new puppy dad. I’d recommend her to anyone! 5/5”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have several years of hands-on experience caring for horses, dogs, and other pets through barn work and daily responsibilities. My experience includes feeding, grooming, cleaning stalls, administering basic care, and keeping animals on consistent routines. I also previously managed a pet store, where I helped customers with pet care needs and assisted with grooming services, giving me experience working with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments. Being involved in cheer and an active lifestyle, I’m used to early mornings, long days, and staying dependable no matter the weather. I’m attentive, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’m already used to structured schedules and early mornings. Between school, cheer, and my experience working at barns and managing a pet store, I’m very comfortable planning my day around feeding times, walks, and check-ins. I make sure pets stay on their normal routines so they feel comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m active and outdoors often, so regular walks and playtime are something I genuinely enjoy, not just a task. I’m also reliable with time management, so pets always get the attention and care they need. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions are followed exactly. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel at ease while they’re away. If pets are in my home, I make sure they have a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play and get fresh air safely. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means extra playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to a specific care routine.

I will always play with them to get them to exercise and have some fun. I can also take them on walks and runs and take them out for potty breaks. if they need to be fed at a certain time or need any type of medicine then that is very important to know in advance. Also knowing if they get along with other people/pets. we don’t want anything bad happening so knowing anything and everything about your pet(s) in advance is highly recommended.

I’ve grown up and have never experienced a moment without one allowing me to transmit my skill of caregiver to other pets that may need it :)
“Alex was the perfect choice to care for my two rambunctious cats. I was on a 7-day cruise, so I knew I needed someone I could trust because communication can be an issue at sea. I was gone during a really cold week with ice and snow, but Alex was dependable to be there with my cats and my house. She kept me updated, sent pictures, and it was obvious the cats loved her. My house was clean when I returned, which was a relief! I highly recommend Alex and will use her again.”

Really big on taking hikes, and playing ball. Staying hydrated will also be priority.non smoker.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 12. I am 29. I have owned over 30 animals of different breeds! I taken care of dogs ranging from 2lbs to over 200lbs. Dogs love me! I have dealt with both Aggressive and Sweet dogs. I also have experience with Cats, Reptiles and Guinea Pigs. I am patient and loving to all animals! I am a stay at home mom with 4 kids that I also homeschool. I am available from 6am to 3pm as my husband works 4-12. I am have my dogs on a feeding schedule so they eat the same time everyday and go outside the same time everyday! I have 3 dogs, 2 cats, fish and a bunch of guinea pigs. I have a set schedule on feeding time and playtime with all. I have a fenced area I go to that I let my German Shepherds run in to get their energy out. My dogs are loving and sweet to other animals. If your dog is special needs or needs anything specific please let me know.
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: Hi! My name is Allie! My life revolves around my two border collies. We are constantly off finding adventures...hiking down new trails, swimming in lakes, herding sheep! Of course, we love an inside, sit on the couch type of day, as well. Whichever kind of day your pet needs, I would love the opportunity to care for them. I attended three years of veterinary technician school and have worked in several hospitals and shelter settings. From all those experiences, I learned how to interact with different personalities and treat medical emergencies. I am now in a different field that allows me to work from home the majority of the time. Therefore, I will be available to spend all day with your pets! I have also had horses my whole life and grew up working on ranches. If you have a hobby farm or other animals that need to be cared for, I am happy to do that as well! Feel free to message me with any questions you may have. I can't wait to meet you and your furry ones! I work from home most days. If I am called away, then it is for a couple hours at a time. My goal is to never leave your pup alone for more than a couple of hours. In that time, they can either be crated or have full access to our guest room for all their napping needs. :) I have a very large, fully fenced in backyard to play in. I have two border collies that have never met a stranger. Depending on your dogs needs, we will take the proper steps to ensure every one is safe and happy for the entirety of their stay.
“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!”

“Jessica was amazing! She was willing to meet us. At our hotel, bring her back, was very accommodating and was great with our sweet old faithful/geriatric dog.

I know what it’s like to care for an old dog that struggles with certain things. they would still get the exact same amount of attention as any other dog would. i’m very compassionate when it comes to animals. your pets needs are first priority. they’re happiness is what matters most. any pet of yours will be loved on, cuddled and cared for with me looking after them i don’t have a job but i’m still quite busy helping my family out during the week with therapy/doctor appointments. my brother is handicapped and so he has to go to therapy a few days a week all the way up in cincinnati which takes half a day. im also helping homeschool my younger brothers during the week. in my opinion i know the weekends would work the best bc I’m usually not doing anything which means that i could have my full attention on your pet(s). however we could always talk in advance about the schedule and i could make take time during the week work if needed They’ll have my full attention. I will always play with them to get them to exercise and have some fun. I can also take them on walks and runs and take them out for potty breaks. if they need to be fed at a certain time or need any type of medicine then that is very important to know in advance. Also knowing if they get along with other people/pets. we don’t want anything bad happening so knowing anything and everything about your pet(s) in advance is highly recommended.

“We don’t normally need a dog sitter, but Kristi helped me out in a pinch due to a family emergency, and woke up at the crack of dawn to babysit our 8 week old puppy for the day, it was incredibly nerve wracking trusting a stranger with such precious cargo, but Kristi overperformed and sent us photos/videos every hour, showing us what great and capable hands she was in. She even gave helpful advice to a new puppy dad. I’d recommend her to anyone! 5/5”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have several years of hands-on experience caring for horses, dogs, and other pets through barn work and daily responsibilities. My experience includes feeding, grooming, cleaning stalls, administering basic care, and keeping animals on consistent routines. I also previously managed a pet store, where I helped customers with pet care needs and assisted with grooming services, giving me experience working with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments. Being involved in cheer and an active lifestyle, I’m used to early mornings, long days, and staying dependable no matter the weather. I’m attentive, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’m already used to structured schedules and early mornings. Between school, cheer, and my experience working at barns and managing a pet store, I’m very comfortable planning my day around feeding times, walks, and check-ins. I make sure pets stay on their normal routines so they feel comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m active and outdoors often, so regular walks and playtime are something I genuinely enjoy, not just a task. I’m also reliable with time management, so pets always get the attention and care they need. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions are followed exactly. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel at ease while they’re away. If pets are in my home, I make sure they have a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play and get fresh air safely. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means extra playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to a specific care routine.
