“Kathy did a great job with our little girl! She is a Covid dog, so she lacks some socialization skills lol. Kathy is very knowledgeable and willing to help. She set our minds at ease, and I knew our little Siena was very safe in her hands. I would highly recommend her!”
“Erin was so wonderful to us and our dog Opal 🐾. Last minute I posted a request to book for boarding and Erin responded right away. Our dog Opal (9) loved her visit (you could see the fun she had in the photos Erin sent daily - she was super tired when she got home from playing with all the dogs too). Thank you Erin for being so great with her AND brushing her - it never ends with husky fur! 🤣 I highly recommend Erin to anyone in the area looking for excellent care for their pet.”
“Loves my dogs like they’re her own! one of my dogs is anxious and not always very social, but she loves Jerri. I completely trust that my dogs are well cared for and loved while we are away.”
“Our dog, Bubba was suffering from back pains and Bennet and Henry made sure he was comfortable, monitored him closely and handled everything with so much compassion and care. We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care, patience and kindness.”
“Burgandy was a great communicator, kept us updated on how Arlo was doing & even sent us pictures. You can tell she loves & cares for animals. This was our first time using Rover & I felt very comfortable leaving Arlo in her care after our meet & greet. I would recommend Burgandy and will book her again when needed.”
“Sabrina and her family are fabulous. Both of my dogs enjoyed their stay. When I went to pick them up, both of my dogs were excited to see me, and the one went right back up to their porch! I'd say he loved it!”
“Kim was great with our pup. He came home very happy. Trusting someone you don’t know well with part of your family isn’t easy. But from the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew instantly he would be loved and cared for. I had no fears leaving him and would absolutely recommend Kim as a sitter/boarder. My family does a lot of traveling and I would be more than pleased to have her watch him again!”

“Kaleigh was great with my dogs! She took great care of them while we were out of town. Sent me several pictures too which eased my mind about having a new sitter. Will definitely rebook with her in the future. Thanks Kaleigh for everything you did for the girls!”
“This is the second time we’ve used Ralph to watch our German shepherd. We asked him to watch her pretty last minute and he was very accommodating and took great care of her. She walked in as if she remembered that she was somewhere that she trusted. Highly recommend Ralph!”
About: I've been around and have helped care for dogs and cats all shapes and sizes. Each one I've personally owned are a part of the family! I would take care of your fur baby like I'd want mine taken care of. I am a homeschooling mom which means your fur baby will be kept company while in my care. During the school year, on Saturdays, we sometimes will have sporting events to go to, as well as some week nights we will go to extracurricular practices but never gone for long! I currently have Midland's rail trail right in my back yard for nice walks if that's something you would like done. When we move in March we will have a large open park right in our backyard! We have a sweet Goldador at home that loves playmates and also two cats that sleep the day away. My three kids (ages 8 - 13) have been shown from the beginning how to respect and love animals and they will be a wonderful addition to keeping your fur babies feeling loved and cared for!
About: I grew up on a farm and have always had pets. Cats, dogs and even a cow and chicken or two. I strongly believe our pets are family members just like our human family. I've had big and little dogs, and many different cats. My current little man is my best buddy he is spoiled and loved so much. He's 7 years old and loves other dogs to hang out with. He doesn't pay any attention to cats. I would love to care for your family member, giving you peace of mind that they will be well cared for and loved on while in my care. My availability is completely open, any day and time. I'm very flexible with dates and times, whether at your home or mine. Thank you for your time and I look forwars to hearing from you! I have a fenced in area for bathroom breaks and a large yard on a quiet country road to run and play in. I have space for a crate, I even have a very large one that can be used if necessary. Also have an almost two mile lane around our farm property to walk and run around. My home has plenty of space for exploring or just chilling out.
“Mckenzie was absolutely amazing! Ivy loved her pup Harley and when I picked Ivy up she was tired from all the playing she did. She sent frequent updates and pictures and kept me informed on how Ivy was doing throughout the day. Mckenzie was very flexible with her time for me and has a nice yard for the pups to play in. I HIGHLY recommend.”
“Brittany was fantastic!! We were super nervous about leaving our 1.5 year old German Shepherd with a stranger but as soon as we arrive our minds were put at ease. Without a doubt she loves animals and even fosters rescues. Raven had a blast and even made a few new kitty cat friends! We will definitely be back. Thank you Brittany for taking such good care of our family member <3”

About: I have worked with animals of all kinds! From horses, chickens, and goats, all the way to puppies and kittens, to the senior dogs/cats. I treat my dogs like my kids, and I assure you that your babies will get the same love❤️ I will be sure that your fur babies will have the best time, and I will update you on my visit along with pictures. :) I am working full time as of right now from about 7:00AM-3:00PM Monday-Friday. I have weekends off, unless I decide to pick up shifts at my other part time job. I have 2 dogs of my own that I prioritize over anything as soon as I get home, so rest assured your fur baby will be taken care of ❤️ I do not recommend booking puppies for boarding during the week when I work. Unpopular opinion, but animals sleep in our bed, or the spare room bed😂 We do NOT have a fenced in yard, but have an extra lead and stake in case. At our house, we have specific routines for letting our dogs go outside to make sure they are safe and have plenty of water left out.
“Selina was so great to work with! We were nervous about leaving our cat home alone for 5 days (she’s a pandemic pet and has never been alone that long). Selina always sent pictures and great notes. We were so comfortable and confident that our furbaby was in good hands. Everything was seamless - will definitely be using Selina again in the near future!”
About: I have been dog sitting since I was in high school which was almost 10 years ago now! I have a few people I dog sat for on a regular basis in college and would be happy to provide you with their contact information if you would like to reach out and hear their opinion before I watch your pup! I have had a couple bad experiences with certain rover sitters and I joined rover because I want people to feel like their dog is on vacation when they are away from their house or out of town. I understand how it feels to not feel like your dog is getting proper care and I want to ensure your dog gets the best care possible while I am watching him/her! We live in a house with a very large fenced in area for the dogs to run. We also live on a farm so have lots of open fields that I take Summer & Addie off leash. If your pup is off leash trained I can certainly take them as well! I work from home and am home weekends that are open and available on my calendar! I never like to leave my pups unattended for more than 4 hours at a time. Alll 3 dogs are well socialized around other dogs. The schnauzer keeps to herself with bigger dogs and loves to play with smaller dogs. I have 1 small dog crate and 1 extra large dog crate. Lots of beds as well!
About: I have taken care of animals my entire life. I grew up on a farm, so I am familiar and comfortable with the care of a multitude of different types of animals. I used to spend my summers volunteering at animal shelters and have a cat and dog myself. I’m currently home for break, so I’m extremely flexible and available most of the time. I do work part time as a substitute teacher occasionally. I am very flexible and adaptive to how you take care of your fur baby. I would love to put in extra work to make you pet the happiest I can.
“Jess was very thorough in her messages about my dogs’ well being, and asked appropriate questions regarding their behavior, as well as for clarification on changes to instructions. In the pictures I received, both my dogs appeared to be happy and well taken care of. I will ask Jess to take care of my girls in the future.”
“Madeline was absolutely wonderful while house sitting and caring for my cat, Sawyer. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy—checking in often with updates, photos, and thoughtful details. I really appreciated how flexible she was with her own schedule to accommodate Sawyer’s routine and make sure he was never left wanting for attention. It gave me total peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands.”
“Candice is super great and quick with communications, and keeps my cat super entertained by even bringing her new toys while I was gone. My cat is a little shy around people who aren’t me and she was at ease with Candice around!”
About: I've taken care of many different kinds of cats and pets since I was 10. People from my neighborhood, friends, and family. They all have relied on me to check in, feed, give medicine, and simply just to play with them.
“Anna is such an excellent petsitter. She handled our elderly male feline with ease and obvious experience. Her communication is exemplary and so much appreciated. The photos she provided gave us joy and peace of mind that our furbaby was in good hands ! We are looking forward to her stopping by our house now that we are back home ! Thank you Rover and Anna !”
About: I grew up on a farm and have always had cats around. I don't currently have a purry friend to cuddle with so I'm always happy to visit with my grandkitty and friends cats. I do have a small dog but he does not bother cats at all whether at their home or his.
About: I absolutely love dogs. I have had dogs my entire life, and I have a ton of experience. I will be sure to take the best care of your fur babies, and I’m sure we will have tons of fun together! I am very familiar with all different breeds of dogs with different attitudes and behaviors. I have had dogs in my life for forever, so I like to think I am good around all of them. I would love to get to know and take care of more dogs! I’m super excited to start this experience and spend time with my favorite animals! I wanna ensure they get all the attention they deserve. I work at a school so I am home by 3pm during the week and I am free on the weekends. I wake up early to spend time with the dogs before I go to work and spend the evenings with them when I get home. I spend a lot of time with my dog and ensure they have everything they need and go on lots of walks and give them as many treats as allowed
About: Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. I’ve always had a deep passion for helping animals, and my long-term dream is to open my own dog shelter to help dogs find safer, happier homes. Because of that, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and needs, so they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with pets and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also love helping families by making their lives easier and giving them peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring hands. For me, this isn’t just pet sitting—it’s about kindness, trust, and creating a positive experience for both pets and their people 🐾 I’m currently a high school senior I only go to school until 12 and I’m very flexible after that with a part time job after that!! I have a fenced in yard with two very friendly dogs to to provide your fur baby lots of company! I can easily crate if needed!
About: I have grown up with dogs around my whole life, from the puppy stage up to the old age. 3 years ago I got a dog of my own with that I fully got to learn how to care for. With that administrating medicine, long walks, puppy stage and training I have gotten to learn. I would fully treat your dog as my own and make sure they are the absolute most tail wagging version of them selves wether that be playing fetch, going on a long walk, dog park or even laying on the couch I am ready for whatever it is!! I am currently working Monday-Friday, the latest I work is 3pm I would always be able to take time off if needed if I have a week ahead notice! I offer whatever you would like, if you want your pup to have a long walk, a play time in the backyard, a trip to the dog park, or just a friend to hang out with!

“We've taken our dog Lucy to Jerri a few times now, and she is just wonderful! A true dog lover. She is a great communicator and sends pictures and updates through out the day. She goes above and beyond what we could hope, and we know our pug is super happy when she is there! You can trust your furry baby with Jerri. She's great!”
“Kathy is amazing. Isabel can be timid when she goes to a new place, but she walked into Kathy's like she lived there. Made it much easier to leave my fur baby for daycare.”
“Sabrina is very communicative about my baby and Jenny has a fantastic time at her house. I love seeing the pictures of Jenny and her son playing together as well as her little pup. She’s a godsend. I highly recommend Sabrina.”
About: I grew up with dogs. My siblings and I were entrusted to take good care of our own dog since we were toddlers to train us to be responsible. I treat dogs as a gentle member of the family, like a child who needs parental love, care, protection and provision. My friends and family fully entrust to me their dogs, to play with them, walk, feed and even groom them. I had experience in taking care from puppy days to senior and sickly days. I enjoy taking dogs for a walk, play with them, give belly rubs and make sure that they are hydrated, fed on time and clean as dogs are welcome on our furnitures and bed. We have a fence for dogs to play outdoors. If you need a safe and happy home for your furbabies while you are away, we welcome them in our home and will be treated as our own family member. My dog and I are home most of the time, and we are thrilled to share that time and our tender loving care with your furbaby while staying at our place. I have a fenced yard for dogs in a safe and quiet neighborhood. I have one cuddly dog to give your furbaby company and makes his/her stay comfortable. I have a regular schedule when it comes to feeding, potty runs, walk and play time with dogs.
“Erin has a beautiful, large fenced in yard for dogs and children. She is conscientious, kind, on time, and communicates with her clients. Molly likes her. I will definitely trust Erin with my Molly again.”
“Blythe was very accommodating. She took us as a fairly last minute booking since we had a funeral and my previous sitter had just moved away. My pickup estimate was off and she was kind enough to keep Grokii an hour or two longer than expected even though it coincided with putting her kids to bed. Her kids are absolutely adorable and I know Grokii was doted on because he slept almost the entire next day. Great family - highly recommend!”

“Amber is amazing! She was so accommodating when I was visiting the area and looking for someone to watch my dog VERY last minute. I felt comfortable leaving my dog with her for the night as I knew he was in good hands. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to take good care of your pup!”

As a business owner who manages my own time, I prioritize reliability and responsiveness, ensuring that your pet’s needs are always met with the highest level of care and attention. Commitment to Quality Care in Your Home When caring for your pet in your home, I strive to go above and beyond to ensure both your pet's well-being and your peace of mind. If I notice anything out of place or in need of tidying, I’m happy to help—but always with your prior approval. I understand that personal preferences vary; some clients prefer to handle certain tasks themselves, while others appreciate the extra assistance. My goal is to respect your space and treat your home with the same level of care I would my own. Having spent the last two years renovating my own home, I deeply understand the importance of maintaining a clean and organized environment. Safety and Pet Care Best Practices Your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I take every precaution to ensure their well-being: Secure Transportation: If I transport your pet, they will always be properly restrained with a seatbelt or pet travel carrier for safety. Leash & Walk Safety: On walks, I ensure pets do not pick up items from the ground. I also clean their paws after every outing, just as I do with my own pets. Hygiene & Health: If your pet gets dirty, I will provide a bath with your permission. Any medical concerns will be addressed immediately, and I am trained in emergency pet first aid, excluding surgical procedures. Home Security: I will ensure all doors and windows are securely locked when leaving your home. Privacy & Updates: I will only take photos of your pet for your updates and will never photograph your home without permission. Supervision & Outdoor Time: Pets in my care will never be left alone in a vehicle or outside unattended, even in my fenced yard. Cats will remain indoors unless they are harness-trained and you request outdoor time. Stranger Interaction: While on walks, your pet will not interact with strangers or other animals unless pre-approved for socialization. Pet Care in My Home Pets in my home receive dedicated supervision unless prior arrangements are made: Dogs: If a dog is staying with me and needs to be left alone for an extended period, I require a crate for their safety and comfort. However, my schedule is highly flexible, minimizing the time they are left alone. Cats: Cats may be left unsupervised in a designated, pet-safe room with regular check-ins. Handling Aggressive or Special Needs Pets I have extensive experience with fearful, reactive, and aggressive pets, but clear and honest communication is essential: Cats: I am comfortable handling feral or aggressive cats and will take the necessary time to build trust. I can administer medication as needed, but I require full transparency about their behavior to ensure safety for all. Dogs: I can accommodate dogs with minor behavioral challenges, such as leash reactivity or mild anxiety. However, for safety reasons, I cannot accept: Dogs over 50 lbs who are not at least moderately leash-trained. Dogs requiring a muzzle or choke collar in public settings. Dogs with severe aggression or unpredictable behavior. Double-Booking Policy For the safety and well-being of all pets, I do not double-book boarding, daycare, or walks unless all parties have given consent and a meet-and-greet has taken place. If multiple dogs are staying in my home at the same time, a meet-and-greet is required. Even if the dogs get along, they will not be left alone together unless securely crated. Cats and dogs boarding in my home simultaneously will be kept in separate areas with no contact.
“My 14 weeek old great dane stayed with Cristina for a 12 hour day. She was keeping me posted throughout the day and it was very reassuring to have updates on my lil pup. Thanks Cristina we will definitely repeat with scooby.”
About: I’ve taken care of a senior cat who had special littler box, medicine, and feeding needs. My family has also relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their small dogs for over 5 years! I love being an auntie to a red toy poodle! I currently work full time from home, allowing care at most times throughout the day! I also am commonly at home during week nights, and enjoy many at home hobbies including playing the piano, reading, knitting, and crocheting, which all make me a homebody! I have a large back yard and live in a neighborhood that is very friendly for dog walking! My home is all vinyl flooring and one level.

About: I’m a special education teacher looking to earn extra money. I can help you on a busy day or while on vacation by taking great care of your fur baby.

About: I have always had a love for animals and have three pups of my own. I am a stay at home mom and watch everyone’s dogs (and kids). We love going for walks and running around in the backyard! I am a stay at home mom so taking care of dogs would be my only job other than being a mom to my two children. We go for two walks a day and spend lots of time outside! In my home we have a fully fenced in yard for lots of running around and play time. When we are inside we have a doggie gate so that no dogs are running over the baby.
About: I have had pets my entire life, & I love playing with them & taking care of them. I have many years of experience with pet related responsibilities including (but not limited to) bathing, walking, feeding, medication administering, cleaning up after, & of course, playing! I have one cat & one dog of my own, both of which love other animals & would love to have other animals in the household. My hours are pretty flexible, & I am a very laid back person when it comes to last minute cancellations or services being needed on short notice. I understand that life happens & sometimes there’s nothing we can do to stop it. I would love to care for your animals & help you feel like your babies are being left in good hands. I have one dog who get medication three times a day, and he also gets multiple walks a day. He loves other dogs and cats, so if you’re wanting some company for your pet I would love to bring him along! I am a strong believer in respecting animals’ boundaries. My dog is very shy & he takes a long time to warm up, so I have a lot of experience with reactive/fearful dogs.
“Selina is reliable and takes the job seriously. She showed up with her own leash, just to be on the safe side! And she even walks Luke a little longer when she has the time and it’s a nice day. Luke likes her and wiggles his butt when she comes to pick him up.”
About: When I have been a sitter in the past I was in charge of admitting medication few times a day. Feed dogs separates if they had special feedings. I also did overnight stays up to 5 days. I also walked the dogs a couple times a day. I also have watched up to four dogs at a time. I currently very open at this point in time.

About: I absolutely love dogs. I have had dogs my entire life, and I have a ton of experience. I will be sure to take the best care of your fur babies, and I’m sure we will have tons of fun together! I am very familiar with all different breeds of dogs with different attitudes and behaviors. I have had dogs in my life for forever, so I like to think I am good around all of them. I would love to get to know and take care of more dogs! I’m super excited to start this experience and spend time with my favorite animals! I wanna ensure they get all the attention they deserve. I work at a school so I am home by 3pm during the week and I am free on the weekends. I wake up early to spend time with the dogs before I go to work and spend the evenings with them when I get home. I spend a lot of time with my dog and ensure they have everything they need and go on lots of walks and give them as many treats as allowed
“Madeline was prompt and communicated how our dog was feeling since she had an off day the day before. She sent photos and a video and with it being her first walk with our dog, our dog was very comfortable with her. Looking forward to having her walk our pup again.”
About: I grew up taking care of my neighbors’ pets which was more like a zoo. They had dogs, cats, rabbits, lizards, fish, and even a ferret. I have been an animal lover all of my life and have continued to pet sit for friends and family over the years. Additionally, I have volunteered at multiple animal shelters and have a lot of experience cleaning and providing care for multiple animals at one time. I also have owned cats my whole life and have a lot of experience taking care of dogs as well! I am currently between jobs so I have a lot of free time and am super flexible! During this time, I am able to care for your pet as much as possible :) I am very big on giving animals lots of love and affection! I know oftentimes pets can get anxiety when their owners are away, so I follow a routine the animals can depend on so they know they are getting their needs met by me everyday. I get a sense of what their normal routines are and try not to stray from these as much as possible so there is still consistency in the animals’ lives.

“Erin was so wonderful to us and our dog Opal 🐾. Last minute I posted a request to book for boarding and Erin responded right away. Our dog Opal (9) loved her visit (you could see the fun she had in the photos Erin sent daily - she was super tired when she got home from playing with all the dogs too). Thank you Erin for being so great with her AND brushing her - it never ends with husky fur! 🤣 I highly recommend Erin to anyone in the area looking for excellent care for their pet.”
“Loves my dogs like they’re her own! one of my dogs is anxious and not always very social, but she loves Jerri. I completely trust that my dogs are well cared for and loved while we are away.”
“Burgandy was a great communicator, kept us updated on how Arlo was doing & even sent us pictures. You can tell she loves & cares for animals. This was our first time using Rover & I felt very comfortable leaving Arlo in her care after our meet & greet. I would recommend Burgandy and will book her again when needed.”
“Sabrina and her family are fabulous. Both of my dogs enjoyed their stay. When I went to pick them up, both of my dogs were excited to see me, and the one went right back up to their porch! I'd say he loved it!”
“Kim was great with our pup. He came home very happy. Trusting someone you don’t know well with part of your family isn’t easy. But from the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew instantly he would be loved and cared for. I had no fears leaving him and would absolutely recommend Kim as a sitter/boarder. My family does a lot of traveling and I would be more than pleased to have her watch him again!”

“Mckenzie was absolutely amazing! Ivy loved her pup Harley and when I picked Ivy up she was tired from all the playing she did. She sent frequent updates and pictures and kept me informed on how Ivy was doing throughout the day. Mckenzie was very flexible with her time for me and has a nice yard for the pups to play in. I HIGHLY recommend.”
