“As a first time Rover user I was quite nervous about leaving my dog behind on vacation. Jenny really eased my mind through our meet and greet and then further with updates while sitting. I would 100% let her watch Opal again and would definitely recommend her for others.”
“Bradley was great with Miso! He sent a ton of pictures and made sure he was well taken care of. It was a somewhat last minute trip and we were grateful Miso had fun and a great yard to enjoy”
“Hanna was absolutely fantastic with my 2 dogs! She was attentive to all of my requests as a dog parent, she sent constant picture updates of them having fun, and she returned them to me in wonderful spirits and cleaner than before. For anyone in need of a dog sitter, look no further. She is a reliable and wonderful caretaker.”
“Olivia was awesome for our pug! She sent pics, updates, and was flexible with our drop off and pick up times. Very professional! Also, Taco came home smelling way better than when he arrived there : ) We would use Olivia again in a heartbeat!”
“I was very pleased with my dog’s adventure. At our meet and greet Remington was very comfortable with Jeremiah. On the day I dropped him off, Remington had no issues with my leaving and as I drove away he and Jeremiah were off taking a walk. When I picked my dog up, he seemed very relaxed and appeared to have enjoyed his stay. Jeremiah is flexible with drop off and pick up times, which is so helpful when traveling. I have no hesitation in leaving my dog with Jeremiah in the future.”
“Very kind and welcoming. Really showed they cared for and enjoyed our nervous little dog. Everything went well, and we got just the right amount of pics while gone. Highly recommend!”
“Clara did an amazing job taking care of our babies. She was very professional at taking care of a sick dog. Even when our phones did not get service she did an awesome job taking care of Nanny and letting her leave early. She knew what our baby needed. I would definitely go back and refer her to anyone.”
“Christina was excellent with our boys! We were nervous as this was the first time we have left them since we got them but her care for animals is so apparent and appreciated. Thank you for keeping us updated and sending pics while we were away. I would recommend Christina to EVERYONE!”
“Luke and his family were exceptional! He was incredibly flexible with accommodations. We were able to leave Rosie and Loki with him in complete confidence that they would be taken care of, and provided daily photos and updates. I would highly recommend!”
“Debra did an awesome job with our dog who wasn’t feeling the best. She treated him well and was able to manage his quirks. I would not hesitate to use her as a dog sitter. She will treat your dogs like gold. Use Debra for your sitting needs.”
“Thank you for loving on our Sadie!!! From the meet and greet, I know Sadie would be in good hands with Leandra. She was calm and patient as it took out dog a bit to get warmed up. She kept us updated, was quick to respond to any questions we had and included photos! We will definitely be using her again.”
“Leigh Anne has watched our dog, Noodles, many times over the last several years. Noodles always comes home happy, tired, and smelling good (Leigh Anne will typically give her a bath before she returns home - what a great added benefit!). Leigh Anne is always friendly and you can tell she really cares about all of the dogs in her home.”
“Kari and her family did an absolutely fantastic job, taking care of Sebastian. Not only were her doggies and family great with him, I would rebook with them anytime I could! Definitely recommend them for anybody that needs a dog sitter! Thank you guys!!”

“Nicholas was so great at taking care of my dog and walking me through my first time using Rover! He was always easy to get in touch with, and I’ll plan on reaching out to him again when I have to travel without my dog.”
“Kevin was exactly who I needed to take care of my dogs while I flew across the country for a few days. He was flexible and great with communication. He answered quickly, gave me lots of updates, and photos! He took great care of my dogs. Helped to not be worried when I was on vacation, as I missed them a lot. Would definitely book with him again. My dogs were worn out and happy when they came home. Thank you!!”

We were traveling to visit family and we were nervous about leaving our dog with someone new, but we didn't have a thing to worry about! Alydia asked all the right questions and our dog loved being with her. Will definitely book her again when we're in the area. Thanks so much!”

“An absolutely phenomenal pet sitter. We could not have found a better person to watch our cats while we were gone for several days. Hanna dropped in twice a day to care for our cats while we were out of town. She is super friendly and warm and sweet. Our cats fell in love with her instantly. We invited her husband to visit our place with her , and he was great with the cats too. Hanna was a great communicator. She kept us up-to-date and reached out if she had questions. She also sent us numerous photos and videos of our cats as she cared for them. That’s how we know how good she was with them. For most of us who have pets, they are almost like our kids, and we want to leave them in the best care possible when away. Hanna is the person to take care of your animals. If you are in need of someone to watch your animals while you were away, ask Hanna before anybody else. You will not be disappointed, I promise. We will absolutely reach out to Hanna again for future travels.”

“Alicia was great with my cats! They really took to her, and she kept me updated with notes and photos at each visit. She also went above and beyond cleaning up and bringing in packages. I’d definitely recommend her for pet sitting!”
About: Hi! My name is Sierra, and I am an artist, athlete, and am generally pretty active around town and in community events. I'd love to meet you and your pets! I grew up in a home with cats and have always been a passionate pet owner. My own cat is 17 and healthy, but I love spending time with dogs too. In my teens, in college, and through adulthood, I've pet-sat for many dogs over the years in order to spend more time with them and learn about their behaviors and needs. I've always wanted my own but have been too mobile to make a full-time commitment. My loss is your gain! I've worked with reactive and non-reactive dogs, small dogs and large dogs, and puppies and elderly dogs. I am very comfortable with animals and, due to my active nature, love taking them on walks around town or at the park. I am happy to also stay home with them if they're in their golden years or are less mobile. I will likely want to know a fair bit about your dog or cat when we first meet to ensure they are well cared for in your absence and to ensure I am prepared and aware of their behaviors if we are around other people and/or other animals. The same rules apply for kitties! I love cat sitting too. All in all, I love animals and genuinely enjoy taking them for walks, spending time with them, and making sure they feel loved. I have some experience working with sheep as well, so if you are on a farm or have other livestock, I'd love to help out in that regard too! I hope to own my own small farm someday. Thanks! I am currently working as an artist and researcher, so I have a flexible schedule. This means I can adjust my schedule to suit your needs and can stay overnight if needed. I will likely ask a lot of questions the first time I dog/cat sit for you. Knowing your pet's routine and their preference is very important to me to make sure I am prepared to take good care of them in your absence. I appreciate detailed instructions for house sitting, especially to make sure your pet is as comfortable and happy as can be while you are away. I do not mind if you'd like photo or text updates throughout the time you are away, so you can rest assured your pet is in good hands. I feel the same when I am traveling! For walks and such, I will still have a few questions to ensure I know how to best care for your pet while interacting with other animals and people. I am able-bodied and active and love walks at all times a day to get my (and their) steps in!
“Bethanie was super responsive, professional and left no room for worry in the caretaking of our five four-legged kids while we attended our daughter's wedding in Michigan! She was also kind enough to help tech-challenged me with the Rover app as well as sending photos during our time away?. Very impressed and grateful!”

I'm willing and able to do any day of the week! I'm fairly flexible, so I'll do my best to get my schedule to work with yours. I live in a cozy 2-bedroom apartment with a lot of space to walk around the apartment complex. There is a fenced in dog runner at this complex too.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and truly love caring for them. I grew up with a Husky/German Shepard mix which gave me early experience with daily pet care, routines, and understanding dog behavior. In my teens, I fostered a total of 12 dogs over the years, caring for a variety of temperaments and needs. This experience helped me become comfortable with dogs of all ages as well as training dogs. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for 2 years, where I worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. This included feeding, walking, cleaning, and helping dogs feel safe and comfortable. In addition, I’ve regularly dog-sat for friends throughout high school and college, providing dependable, loving care. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I’m currently available on weekends and evenings during the week (7 PM-10 PM). Starting May/June, I’ll have a much more flexible schedule with increased availability! I provide pet care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their usual environment. I follow all care instructions closely, prioritize safety on walks and during visits, and pay close attention to each pet’s needs and behavior. I respect your home, keep things clean and secure, and always provide updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Alicia was so great with our puppy, Doc, and was wonderful with keeping me updated with pictures and texts while she was hanging out with him. She played with him in our backyard and took him for a walk, and when I came home from a 12 hour shift to a happy puppy I was so thankful for Alicia! She was also very quick to respond when I sent a request the day before I needed her help and was such a blessing when I was feeling stressed about leaving poor Doc alone for so long. I'm excited to use Alicia in the future!”
About: I’ve raised dogs, cats & goats since I was old enough to hold a leash! From bottle feeding kittens to training goats to do tricks, dogs feel like a breeze. For the last 6 years, I’ve taken care of family & friend’s dogs. My husband & I have a 80lb golden doodle (who is transitioning into his elder stage of life) so I understand the importance of daily walks, play dates, and proper grooming. I vow to apply the same care for your pet! I’m currently a server, so I work less than 30 hours a week & mainly evenings! This leaves me plenty of time to pet-sit or walk during the day, especially on my days off. I have a fenced in back yard, a park within a 3 minute walking distance, and an incredibly friendly golden doodle. He loves to play fetch and tug. We take our dog on daily walks, weekly baths, and administer the proper vitamins and ear care as he transitions into being an elder dog. It’s important that I translate these same practices to clients animals!
About: Having grown up with pets, I have a lifelong passion for animal care. From a young age, my siblings and I took on the responsibility of feeding, bathing, walking, playing with, and cleaning up after our pets. This experience taught me the importance of attentive and loving care. Additionally, my neighbors entrusted me with their beloved pets when they’ve gone on vacation. I’ve experience with rabbits, have one currently named Ms Bunny, she is eight. I had a guinea pig, named Master Splinter that lived to be 6. Kept and maintained a fish tank in my mid to late 20’s, contained lots of neon tetra, ghost shrimp, and a dwarf gourami! I have full availability to ensure loving care for your pets! My love for animals motivates me to ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. Rest assured, your furry friends will be well cared for under my watch. I am happy to care for your pets in their home where they are most comfortable. I love going for walks, playing with toys, and/or lounging around when it’s quiet.

“As a first time Rover user I was quite nervous about leaving my dog behind on vacation. Jenny really eased my mind through our meet and greet and then further with updates while sitting. I would 100% let her watch Opal again and would definitely recommend her for others.”

“Hanna was absolutely fantastic with my 2 dogs! She was attentive to all of my requests as a dog parent, she sent constant picture updates of them having fun, and she returned them to me in wonderful spirits and cleaner than before. For anyone in need of a dog sitter, look no further. She is a reliable and wonderful caretaker.”
“I was very pleased with my dog’s adventure. At our meet and greet Remington was very comfortable with Jeremiah. On the day I dropped him off, Remington had no issues with my leaving and as I drove away he and Jeremiah were off taking a walk. When I picked my dog up, he seemed very relaxed and appeared to have enjoyed his stay. Jeremiah is flexible with drop off and pick up times, which is so helpful when traveling. I have no hesitation in leaving my dog with Jeremiah in the future.”

“Our high energy sweetheart can be overstimulated if the people around her don't know how to interact with her, but she did great with Alydia!
