“Emi-Lu was so great with my two cats! It’s comforting to have sometime to trust while out of town to take care of your babies and Emi-Lu was that for us! She fed them, played with them, and cleaned the litter box (who doesn’t like coming home to a clean litter box - honestly!!!). Will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“Amy did a wonderful job stopping in to care for our two kitties. She was very easy to work with, and kept me up to speed on everything. She even dealt with some “out of the box” behavior. … :-( Highly recommend!”
“Theresa was absolutely amazing!! This was our first time using Rover and honestly, it could not have been a better experience! Theresa’s communication was beyond anything we could have expected, and we truly appreciated the photos and detailed notes from her visits. We will 100% reach out to her again in the event we need to leave our kitties home without us, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their furbabies!”
“This is the first time we have used Rover. Laura is a great sitter. She sends notes, lots of pictures, and even videos. It is comforting to know our kitty was taken care of, played with, and loved. Laura truly treated our kitty like he is her own. We already booked with her for our next trip.”
“We are so happy with the level of service that Christopher provided for our babies! When we have traveled, we have been able to take them with us, but this trip we could not. After meeting with Christoper and seeing how our very timid and shy cat came around a bit during our initial meeting we felt so much better about going away. We received updates and pictures of what was going on and how they were doing, which allowed us to enjoy our time away knowing they were being well cared for. Our home and our babies were well cared for and now we know that we have someone that we trust in our home and caring for our kitties. Thanks again for taking such great care of Birdie and Bunny!”
“Barb was absolutely PERFECT!! Her impeccable attention to detail, not to mention her TLC in her care for Kodi made my trip so much more enjoyable and stress free! I was also really impressed by her interest in answering all of my questions, while being responsive to ANY concerns I might have had. That pretty much handled ANY worries or concerns with regard to Kodi being alone without me for three days. I will definitely be requesting Barb again whenever I need a sitter any time in the future! Craig Marsden”
“We had a wonderful experience with Kristi and Jason! They were able to accommodate our last minute request and went above and beyond to make sure our high energy dog got plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Communication was excellent throughout our time away, we received updates and always felt confident that our dog was in great hands. We would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I’m a proud cat mom to two cats and understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers a quiet companion, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I have experience with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, medications, and caring for shy or anxious cats. My goal is to make sure your cat feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away, and I’ll always send plenty of updates and photos
“We have used Michelle two times now for dog walking and drop in visits. She was able to do 3 drop ins over 2 days to feed our cats while we took a trip up north!! We so appreciate her! She took pictures and kept us updated!! I recommend her for your pet care needs.”
“From the first meeting, Arden was very professional. She came prepared with a list of questions to make sure our cat was well taken care of. She was on time and communicated with us at every visit. Would definitely recommend!”
“Steph is the perfect pet sitter for my Gracie. She has a border collie just like mine so she is well aware of their energy levels and high sensitivity. You can tell Gracie loves when Steph comes over to visit her. Steph gets a lot of that energy out that is getting built up while Gracie is home alone and shows a lot of love for her. I know I can trust her while I’m away.”
“Taylor is so patient on working with getting my shy kitty used to her taking care of him. She’s helping get him a little more comfortable with every visit. I’m so grateful!”
“We are so happy we discovered Abby through Rover! She stayed with our 18 year old kitty while we were away at a family reunion, and she did a wonderful job! Oliver is no easy-to-deal-with cat, as he requires medicine twice a day, eats only canned food, and also has a bottomless pit for attention. She was there for him, kept us updated, and we also found our home spotless upon our return. In addition, she kept our wild birds happy by keeping their feeders and baths full, along with watering our potted flowers. Over and above!”
“Grace did such an amazing job with our dog and two cats! She was always so timely in her drop ins, and kept us very informed on how everyone was doing. We really appreciate that she was able to sit for us fairly last minute as well. She made our pets feel loved and safe and we couldn't have asked for more!”

“Stephanie and her family took great care of our Kerby. He was wiped out when we picked him up. She sent us photos and asked questions to make sure he got the best care. Gave us peace of mind knowing he was being well cared for. Thanks again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and now have an 8-year-old Golden Retriever. He’s getting a little older but we still enjoy walks around the neighborhood and running around the yard. We like having dog guests to hang out with. I’ve watched dogs for friends and family over the years and enjoy having them around the house. I only host one dog at a time (or multiple dogs from the same family). I can provide daycare and overnight stays in my home. Can be flexible with start and end times and can include pick-up or drop-off, if near by. Your dog’s safety and comfort are the priority here. I only take one dog at a time (or multiple from the same family) to ensure a relaxed environment for the dogs and for me. I work from home, so the dogs are rarely left alone, and they’ll have regular access to a fenced yard, walks, and time to relax inside. I try to keep things low-stress and stick to your dog’s normal routine as much as possible, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, crate preferences, or exercise needs. My dog is friendly, and comfortable around other dogs, but I always prefer slow introductions to make sure we'll be a good match. I’m happy to send updates and photos during your dog’s stay so you know how they're doing
About: I’ve always had a dog or cat in my home! Growing up we always had a Golden Retriever :) My most recent dogs were two senior Chihuahua sisters I adopted and one Olde English Bulldog. They have all crossed the rainbow bridge and though I’m not ready to get another pet, I miss having them in my life. One of my seniors had diabetes so I’m trained at administering insulin as well. I’m a stay at home mom of two little boys I share with their dad, though when I have dogs stay with me they stay with their father. For boarding, I live in a wonderful neighborhood with lots of other dogs and great sidewalks for strolls or power walks if needed. I enjoy going for daily long walks myself would love the company. For walks at your home, I never skimp on time outside or if weather doesn’t permit, extra fun and love inside.
About: 15 years of shelter volunteer work plus caring for my own dogs for 16 years. Frequently dog sit for both of my daughters and my son-in-law. After losing my last dog at 17, I would love to provide care, love and walks for yours. I work from home and set my own appointments outside of the home so I can determine precisely when I'll be home. Although I don't have a fenced yard we have a great neighborhood for walks. Dogs should be able to free roam as I don't currently have a crate; or you can provide a crate. Please bring any special toys, bed, etc. that will help your dog acclimate!
“This was the first time we had left our puppy with someone and we were a little apprehensive, however, Holly was awesome. After talking with her in person we were at ease about leaving Ruger with her. I will use Holly again and I highlighted recommend her.”

Your pet will be treated like one of our own, with attention, comfort, and care throughout the entire day. Since I work from home, your pet will have consistent supervision, companionship, and plenty of love morning, day, and night I have worked from home for quite a few year which allows me to let doggies out every hour if needed and take several quick walks Pets are allowed to go everywhere in the home. We do have a baby gate up at my office door to block off dogs when we leave the house for a period of time if they are puppies

About: We’ve loved and cared for animals our entire lives and have years of hands-on experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and physical needs. That lifelong experience helped us create a home designed specifically for dogs’ safety and comfort, where we care for only one pup at a time so we can give them our full attention. With a fenced yard, lots of supervision, and very little time spent alone, your dog will enjoy a calm, loving environment filled with playtime, cuddles, and personalized care. Our daily routine is built around the dogs in our care. One of us is home most of the day, so your pup will have very little, if any, time alone. We provide regular potty breaks, supervised outdoor time in our fenced yard, play sessions, walks (if that’s part of their routine), and plenty of cuddle and relax time throughout the day. We’re happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, sleeping, and medication schedule so their stay feels familiar, comfortable, and stress-free.

“Duane & Tammy are the best!! We have been using them for years, and I cannot believe it had taken me this long to write a review (just due to juggling many kids and work, not because there has even been a problem). They’re reliable, dependable, caring, welcoming and treat Angus so well. It’s very telling how great of care they provide Angus because he gets so excited when he approaches their house. He cannot wait to go over to stay with them. Angus has stayed for long weekends and now goes there for Doggy Day care. Thank you so much for taking such care of our pup!”

About: Hi there! 👋 I’m Corrine, and I’ve spent the past 2 years caring for dogs and cats of all kinds — from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely love spending my free time around them. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing fetch, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like my own. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me with furry friends, making sure they’re happy, safe, and loved. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to giving every pet the attention they deserve. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged family members! 🐾 I work full time but love to hang with pets in my free time! Happy to assist on week nights or weekends. Willing to travel a little bit as well. I care for pets as if they are my own. Give them their own food, bed and safety - whether it be free roaming or in a crate. Whatever makes them feel safe and loved.
About: I’ve been around fur babies my entire life, caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I’m comfortable using the intuitive understanding of their needs and behaviors that I have gained throughout my years to adapt my care to match each dog’s unique temperament and routine. I’ve also spent time caring for senior pets for family members, so I understand the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentleness they require, whether that means maintaining routines, supporting mobility, or offering calm companionship. On top of that, I’ve raised and cared for my own stubborn shih tzu, which taught me a lot about patience and how to handle strong-willed dogs with both structure and love. What sets my care apart from most, I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach, I focus on truly knowing each pet as if they were my own: learning their personality, respecting their routine, and creating a safe, stress-free environment where they feel secure and loved. Clients can expect reliable communication, updates, and the peace of mind that their pet is not just being watched but cared for. As a college student home for the summer, pet care fits seamlessly into a very open and flexible schedule. With ample availability throughout the day and week, there is plenty of time to provide attentive, consistent care. This flexibility allows for adapting to each pet’s routine and ensuring they receive the time and attention they deserve. Creating a comfortable and trustworthy environment is always the top priority. Care is tailored to each pet’s routine to keep things familiar and stress-free, with close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions provided. Walks are always done with safety in mind, using secure leashing and awareness of surroundings. In a client’s home, respect for both the space and the pet’s comfort is key: keeping things clean, calm, and consistent while maintaining open communication. The goal is to ensure every pet feels secure, cared for, and happy, while giving owners absolute peace of mind.
About: I started dog sitting in 2022 for a coworker at the time, and since then I now have 9 different families I regularly sit for. I have experience with a range of dogs (from Toy Aussies to German Shepherds) as well as cats, which I grew up with, and some experience with fish and birds. I love all kinds of animals and getting to know their individual quirks and personalities! I am primarily doing online classes for school and working part-time. My working schedule can be flexible with advanced notice so I can spend the most time with your pet(s)! Whatever is best for you and your pet is what I provide! I’ve cared for very high-maintenance dogs that need multiple walks a day, special diets, etc., as well as very chill dogs that just come in and out as they please and eat whenever they want. I’m very flexible to provide whatever care the pet requires!
About: I’ve grown up with animals in my house my entire life- My household has always had dogs and cats (currently three dogs, two cats) and we’ve opened our house to foster multiple animals throughout my childhood. I’ve worked in doggie daycare and grooming settings, and have extensive experience handling dogs and cats of different personalities and sizes. I’m a college student home for the summer ready and willing to help during the week, or those wanting to make sure their pets are in good hands during a weekend getaway. I have experienced working in many different pet care settings and understand every owner has a different approach to making sure their furry friend is comfortable and safe. Whether it be walking only on leash, separating meals, or any other instruction, I am ready to do whatever makes you feel most comfortable with your animal!
“Michelle was very responsive, send us photos of our dog on his walk, and was easy to work with! She was able to accept our booking fairly last minute and we are so thankful. Earl was so happy to have a potty break on our long day of work!”
About: I have pets from cats to pugs to rottweilers so I'm very comfortable working with both small and bigger dogs! I've had pets my whole life, my family used to foster dogs so I've been caring for all kinds of dogs since I was a kid. I have done drop in's with friends and families pets while they were on vacation. I've worked with pets that take time to trust and can tell when a dog is uncomfortable and needs space/a break. I also have experience working with special foods/medications. Littles, seniors, and everything in between are welcome I've worked with them all in my personal life! I'm a full time university student trying to put myself through college! I'm home for the summer and my schedule is extremely flexible! I'm willing to work holidays. I'm able to follow owners' requests for their pet whether that be using command words, crating, feeding, playing, walking, litter boxes, light grooming. Any routines or training you have I'm more then willing to impliment them into my visit!
“Taylor has been fantastic! She is very prompt, great with our dog, and we’ve had zero issues with any of the walks. Most importantly, our dog absolutely loves her. This was our second time booking with Taylor, and this time she handled 2 walks a day for 11 days without any problems. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“Sydney is always so great with our dog! He’s an 85-pound strong boy who looks forward to his walks. Sydney’s updates are always super detailed and thoughtful. Her reliability and communication is so, so appreciated!”
About: My experience and background with animals spans over the course 20 years. I've worked as a veterinary technician, fostered nearly 2 dozen puppies for rescue programs, and founded my own successful non-profit rescue & conservation program dedicated to primitive canids. I had the wonderful experience of helping one of these rare dogs whelp & raise a massive litter of 12. I've owned numerous breeds including a Beagle, working-line German Shepherd, working-line Anatolian Shepherd, and numerous primitives such Carolina Dogs, a coydog hybrid, & an imported Canaan Dog. I've trained dogs in sports such as schutzhund & nosework. I established my private dog training business in 2019- specializing in puppies and working dogs such as service & livestock guardian dogs. I've been blessed to own two wonderful cats! On our homestead we had an incredible indoor/outdoor boy that kept the rodents at bay. We also have a sweet, indoor-only kitty that lives the high life with raw food & endless cuddles! I'm thoroughly experienced in caring for senior dogs & cats, administering medications, first aid, & wound care. I've fed numerous specialized diets, including fully raw. I adore the puppy stage- including crate training, potty training, & socialization. I'm a strong advocate for socialization that bolsters confident neutrality. A puppy's endless curiosity is so fun to harness! I enjoy giving dogs a balance of outdoor exercise like hiking, as well as indoor mental enrichment like games and puzzles. A tired dog is a happy dog! I train dogs part time & homeschool my daughter- which lends me a great deal of flexibility in my schedule. I can often accommodate short notice requests. Your beloved pet's safety is critical to me. I'm extremely cautious with opening & closing doors so no animals can slip through a door, check the fit of a dog's collar to prevent potential backing out, & ensure there's nothing a pup or kitty could get into thats potentially dangerous. I have a very strong preference for using martingale collars on dogs for walks to mitigate that risk. I've personally endured the tragedy of my young dog slipping the door and being hit by a car while a sitter was taking care of him- so I assure you I take this very seriously. Building trust with both owners and their pets is pivotal! I'm committed to open communication and honesty. I allow pets to greet me on their terms and understand some animals need a more patient, gentle approach than others. I strive to create a positive, calm environment for your pets- and once I'm trusted by them, I will add the playfulness and affection they deserve!
“I am so thankful for Michelle. She is a quality person who took amazing care of my sweet dog on an extended vacation. She is a wonderful communicator, reliable and most importantly took exceptional care of my dog. It allowed me to have a stress free vacation knowing that my dog had a walk and got out in the bitter cold and my elderly parent was not faced with that chore. Thank you Michelle. I am so glad to have met you you’re truly a blessing.”
“Accommodated a last minute booking. I came home to a tired, relaxed dog that didn't have an accident. What a relief I really couldn't ask for anything better. She also sent some really cute pictures.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for over 18 years now. I usually help family or friends when they go out of town. Pets are like family and should be treated as such and that is something I value in my care. I currently work a full time job. My daily and weekly work schedule are morning shifts and a few weekends, I can be flexible for the needs of your loved ones. If I’m in a clients home, I will do what the client says is more best for their loved one. Whatever is comfortable for them and what they are used to.
About: I work as a pet sitter full time and have also been a veterinary assistant so I have experience with caring for pets, I am also able to give medications for pets who need it. I have experience with both cats and dogs but have more experience with cats! I have my own cat that I care for and am an insured pet sitter full time! I love caring for pets as if they are my own and go above and beyond to make their owners feel safe! I care for pets in your home by feeding, giving water, attention (play, cuddles, walk, depending on animals needs), cleaning litter or letting pets out, administering medication, and generally looking out for their well being.
