“I had a great experience! She was kind, professional, and took excellent care of Gerald. She sent regular photo updates and even kept him a bit longer than originally planned, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“My dog,Archie, loves staying at Christina’s. He can’t wait to get out of the car to go play and make new friends. He literally drags me to her door. I can always trust he is in good hands with her”
“Very responsive to messages! I appreciated the pictures of our dog while they were there and could see how happy Coco was being there! Thank you again! An absolute pleasure and will definitely book again if needed!”
“Susan was great with our girls! From the start, I could tell our fur babies were at ease with her. She sent pictures and updates while they were in her care! She was quick to respond and very easy to work with. We will definitely book with Susan again!”
“This was the longest we’ve ever left Jamaica with someone outside of family, and we didn’t have to worry at all. Just like on our shorter trips leading up to this one, she couldn’t wait to see Amber again—she ran right over and barely looked back at us! It’s clear she absolutely loves spending time with Amber, which gives us so much peace of mind. We’ll definitely continue booking with Amber for as long as she’s offering Rover services.”
“Rodney was an amazing and kind sitter! He truly cares for our four-legged friends and makes them feel at home right away. The location is ideal for dogs who would like some open spaces and some company with other friendly dogs. Would recommend!”
“Jacqueline was very communicative before and during my dog's stay. I had a last minute request, but she was able to accommodate us and sent cute pictures of my dog. My dog has a great time playing and snuggling!”

Cat caregivers near you - Tompkins
About: I’ve been caring for cats since I got my first cat Oreo a tuxedo cat when I was 5. I’ve had all sorts of pets, from cats and dogs, to hamsters and horses. I have experience with anything from neonatal kittens to senior pets. I’m a major empath and have a soft spot for all animals and creatures. I’m looking forward to caring for your fur babies ☺️
About: While I’m new to caring for other people’s cats, I share my home with two of my own—and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that cats have their own rules. I know how to give them space when they want it, attention when they ask for it, and how to spot the little signs that tell you something’s off. I’m not just a sitter—I’m a fellow cat parent who gets it.
“This was our first time using Rover, and Kelly and Taylor made the experience so easy. They were kind, trustworthy, and wonderful with our kitties. They were easy to talk to, communicated well, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We’d be happy to book with them again in the future!”
“Brooklyn is super sweet and was very communicative which I really appreciate! I’ve never used Rover or any other site to find someone to watch my baby (my elderly cat) so I was pretty anxious, but Brooklyn was great and I will definitely be booking her again if I need someone to watch my baby!”

About: I grew up having at least one dog in my house at all times, and I have taken care of a variety of dogs for friends, family, and neighbors since middle school. I have experience with different breeds, temperaments, and sizes of dogs in all walks of life. I am well equipped to go on long walks, enjoy some playtime and enrichment, give lots of cuddles, and spend time loving your dog the way you do while you're gone! I am working part-time and have a flexible schedule to spend time with your pets! I am available during the day to give your pups the loving they need in your absence, whatever that may be. I am a capable caregiver with a lot of personal experience. I prioritize maintaining the rhythm and routine your pets prefer, whether that be long walks, the safety of a crate, enriching play time, or lots of lovin'. I am a quick learner and I am intentional in how I go about giving your dog what they need. I can manage medicine, and most special needs, just let me know in advance!
“Veronica did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 cats that don’t get along with each other. She was always at our home when she said she would be, sent pictures and in general showed she cared. She did a great job for us. One of our cats is old and ailing and her notes told details about her. I would totally recommend her to anyone and would use her again. I already gave her a tip for such good work.”
About: I bring a wealth of practical knowledge and a calm, attentive approach to pet care. My experience includes working with dogs on basic obedience and providing dedicated senior care, including administering medications. I'm highly patient and capable of giving your pets the personalized time and attention they deserve to thrive while you're away. I'm currently maintaining a full-time schedule, but my availability opens up perfectly for daytime pet care. I'm available to care for your beloved animals Monday through Saturday, specifically from twelve noon until five o'clock in the afternoon, allowing me to provide consistent, attentive service while I start building this exciting clientele. I create a secure, attentive environment where each pet's health, nutrition, and safety are my highest priorities during visits and walks. I'm diligent with medication schedules, custom feeding plans, and providing constant, loving care to ensure complete peace of mind.
“Jessica did an excellent job looking after my cat while I was gone! She came to my house twice per day to feed my cat, clean her litter, etc. Jessica was thoughtful and gave my cat some new toys for Christmas! While I was gone, Jessica gave me updates each day on how my cat was doing. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: Ever since I was a child I've been taking care of both cats and dogs. I can take care of your friends in any condition! I also specialize in command training alongside discipline in puppies!! I currently work part time at Meijer in the grocery department. My schedule consists of working Friday-Monday or Thursdays-Monday. I work the morning shift for the store which is 4am-12pm. Which will give me the rest of the day to play and care for your furry family members!! If you have more than one furry friend and can easily separate them if needed and make sure they are both calm with each other if they are in the same area watched very carefully. If they need to be crated I can do that too. I will make sure to my fullest ability for your pet to be safe around each other and me during the process.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Tompkins
About: Through my time training in IPO, I have developed the skills needed to handle high-energy and working breeds with confidence. However, I welcome dogs of all shapes and sizes. Whether your dog is a high-drive athlete or a quiet senior, they will find a safe, structured home here. I’m home full‑time on a quiet rural property, so dogs fit naturally into my daily routine.

About: Your dog will be my dog while in my care. I am a huge animal lover who has always made my animals a part of my family, not just an animal. Starting May 4th, I will be training for a new job. My training hours will be 8-5, if you can work around those time please reach out. My yard is not fenced so your babies will only be outside when I am out there with them, leashed if required. I do not agree with leaving a dog alone all night when they are already seeing a difference with their family being gone. If they are dog friendly they would have socialization as well with my friends and family dogs so they could get some interaction and extra exercise! I currently work from home so frequent potty breaks or administration of medication would not be an issue. We would be one big happy family all day long My dogs are not crated when I leave the house but do have an extra large one if required for your baby. If you need me to do a drop in visit, my hours for availability are in the air for the next couple of weeks until I am given my new works hours.
About: I’ve cared for my own dogs for over 30 years and have provided backup support for a very successful petting sitting service for over 7 years. I’m currently working part-time. I’m a widow with grown children that live on their own. I have a Pomeranian of my own who is 10 years old. I’m available often. I have a small dog of my own to keep your pup company. Your pup will be leashed when walked around my circular HOA community
About: I've had different dogs in the house for my whole life. As a kid my family brought dogs in for foster care. We've taken care of multiple dogs with disabilities, including deaf dogs and partially blind dogs. Dogs get along with me well and I'm good at getting shy dogs to warm up to me. I've also volunteered with the Jackson County Animal Shelter, working with the cats at PetSmart. I've also taken care of relatives'/friends'/neighbors' pets. Currently I spend most of my time at home working on my online classes so I will have plenty of time to spend caring for your dog. On the rare chance that I'm not home at least one of my parents are in the house and will be able to fill in for me while I'm out. The dogs that I own eat at the same time everyday and go out as needed, but if your dogs need to be treated differently it will be easy to change things for them. Just fill me in on what your pet needs to be taken care of properly and I should be able to get it done.

My services include drop-in visits, feeding, walks, playtime, litter box and cage cleaning, medication administration, puppy care, and overnight stays. I have experience with large and small dogs, leash training, basic obedience reinforcement, and high-needs care routines. I treat every pet like my own and focus on maintaining their normal routines while owners are away. I am dependable, punctual, and communicative, and I provide attentive, compassionate care so pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home. My schedule is completely open on the weekends and Wednesdays, and I work part-time Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. But I am available after 4:30 those days. I am only comfortable caring for your animals in their home as I have 5 dogs and 3 cats of my own. All animals are treated as they are my own babies.
“Alice did an amazing job with Oreo! She was so kind, patient and gentle with her. She clearly communicated with me about how her day went and asked questions about her needs. Her utmost priority is safety of the dogs in her care, which also made me feel very comfortable! Thank you so much, Alice :)”
About: I have a love for animals big and small. I enjoy exploring and making new experiences with animals. I have experience with elderly and medical needs animals. I work as a nanny and have sometimes weeks off and would love to have an animal to take care of and take places with me. I have a house with 13 acres, for dogs that are not recall trained I use a 10 ft leash and always make sure leases are on before the door opens. I have a separate room for my own animals that way if rabbits or cats are meet with aggression all animals will be safe.
“I was super nervous before dropping off my Ollie but once I met Rodney and talked to him, my nerves were calmed. He made sure to give me updates throughout the day and sent me pictures of guy max'in and relax'in. I will for sure be using him again”
About: I have offered animal care services for 15 years. My experience includes daycare, medication administration, drop in visits, dog walks, and care for other animals such as cats, chickens, and other farm animals! I have little kids so services I offer require your dog be comfortable around kids, although their direct interaction will be limited. I have 2 dogs at my home.

“Susan was such a wonderful puppy sitter for ginger! I can tell ginger really enjoyed her time 😊 we would recommend Susan to anyone looking for a dog sitter. We will definitely be back! Much appreciated!”
“Jason and Kristen have taken such great care of our dog Eddie. He usually has separation anxiety, but always RUNS to their door to be played with and cared for by this family. My requests and quirks are respected, photos are sent and communication response is as close to immediate as one can be. I rest easily knowing my dog is in responsible, caring hands!!”
“Kasey was very attentive and sent lots of pics and videos while we were away. She was also very flexible about the booking in general. She is very experienced professionally and I was comfortable leaving Bella there. Definitely will be rebooking.”
About: Hi there, I’m Brittany. Animals make me happy. When I see a pet, I see a child. They are a member of the family. They have the sweetest souls and biggest hearts and I wouldn’t treat them any other way. I have one dog and I was raised with 3 dogs and 2 cats. I have always been an animal lover and I always will be. Every day I take my dog on at least one walk and many times I walk him multiple times per day. I treat my fur babies like family and how I would want to be treated. I am not only here to help you during your busy schedule but to become a friend to you and your fur baby. To house sit during longer durations, I can travel to anywhere. I would need to bring my golden retriever with me if your pets like to socialize and make new friends, he loves other dogs and gets along with them great, he is very social and has been to many dog parks and households with pets, if not I may be able to find someone to take care of him for me during that time. For drop in visits, I can assist on my own or bring my dog for some company. I am also available on certain days for doggy day care and boarding. When I have a dog stay with me I treat that dog like my own and it would have an amazing friend to play with. Pets are allowed on furniture, I have treats, toys, tons of dog beds, and a fenced in yard. I will also take your dog out on walks and play fetch or tug to burn energy. If you choose to book me, thank you for trusting me and I won’t disappoint you!

I have helped out for many years taking care of people's pets and homes. I have many references.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Tompkins
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a child in 4H. I’ve had all sorts of pets, from cats and dogs, to hamsters and horses. I have experience with anything from neonatal kittens to senior pets. I’m a major empath and have a soft spot for all animals and creatures. I promise to care for your animals as if they were my own,with compassion and common sense. I’m looking forward to caring for your fur babies ☺️ I actually just moved to the area fairly recently from New Jersey, and I work from home so this would be an ideal way to fill my spare time. ☺️ I come equipped with experience with all kinds of pets, along with common sense and basic compassion for animals. I treat my pets like my children, and I would treat yours with those same standards.
About: Hi! I’m Mariah, a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to a big, goofy dog and two sweet cats. While I’m new to professional pet care, I’ve spent years caring for my own animals and know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting—and I bring a calm, playful, and structured approach to every visit. Whether it’s a quick check-in, a good walk, or keeping your pets company while you’re away, I treat every animal like one of my own: with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to give you peace of mind—and your pets a new friend they can feel safe and happy with. I currently am a Preschool Teacher so I work Monday-Friday 8am-4:30. So I’m available on weekends. Summers I’m off so I will adjust my days and times when summer draws nearer. Whether I’m visiting your home for a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay, I do everything I can to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I follow your instructions closely—mealtimes, meds, playtime, litter boxes, the works—and always give your pet the attention, affection, and patience they deserve. For dogs, I bring a calm, structured energy to walks and make sure they get both exercise and fun. For cats, I understand that comfort and familiarity are everything—I move at their pace and respect their boundaries while still making time for play or snuggles if they’re into it. Every visit is about making your pet feel safe, seen, and loved—just like they would with you
About: I’m knowledgeable in breed-specific needs and maintain consistency to keep them mentally and physically happy! I have previously taken dog behavior courses and am familiar with dog body language. I have worked with dogs of all sizes and ages! No dog is “too much!” I am comfortable with administering medications and providing grooming for long haired/high maintenance breeds. I have worked with puppies all the way up to senior dogs so I am comfortable handling all ages. I have a full-time job but am more than happy to fit time in to take care of your lovely fur baby. My typical shift is 8:00-4:30pm M-F. I have open availability on weekends to provide housesitting! If you are looking for constant care (pet cannot be left alone for 4 hours or more), I am happy to provide that however, I do charge a constant care rate if during the work week as I will need to take those days off and I will need to recoup lost salary. For constant care pets, I do require at least a month’s notice ahead of time so I can get that time off to accommodate. I will never take a sit if my work schedule cannot accommodate it—your pet’s care and safety is extremely important to me. I will work with you to decide if I am the right fit for your pet’s needs and routine. Nothing is worse than upsetting your pet’s routine and comfortability! I now offer drop-visits as well! This is great for people who might need someone to check in your fur baby a couple times a day but does not need around-the-clock needs. I am happy to drop in before work (8am) and can drop by after work! If you’re someone who works longer shifts, this is perfect for you! I am comfortable crating your pet if requested but they are also more than welcome to share a bed with me if they are used to sleeping with you! If you have an unfenced yard, I will keep them on leash at all times. If you have a fenced yard, I will stay out and monitor them until they are ready to come inside. Doors will be locked at all times whether I am in the home with your pet or if I’m at work. If you have any home-alarm systems, I will use them as well.
“Brooklyn was flexible and easy to work with. I will certainly look for her again next time. We met prior to her scheduled walking of my Pomsky, Razia to give her access to my apartment and discuss details. She is very nice and professional. Thanks, again!”
“My dog just got groomed yesterday so I asked Darla to help keep him clean on his walk on this gloomy rainy day and she was very accommodating about that and helped wipe him down when they got back. I really appreciate how much she helps and is good with my dog Brody.”
About: As a kid i’ve always been surrounded by animals, all kinds! I’ve worked with dogs learning how to shake, sit and lay! I’ve dog sat for multiple families and friends and have extended experience. I’ve also volunteered since middleschool to help animals on the streets and many rescues! Dog sitting isn’t just something to do for money, but for love and a hobby! I am a college student who works part time, so working around my schedule will be pretty easy! I often find myself with free time and would love to use it with animals! I’m a very patient person when it comes to animals, my yard is not fenced but I am more than willing to take a walk as many times as needed!

About: New to Rover but not new to caring for animals. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. I’m a dependable, structured sitter who understands that pets do best when they feel safe, calm, and cared for—just like at home. As a busy mom managing a full household, I naturally bring consistency, patience, and attention to detail into everything I do—including pet care. I’m especially great with dogs who: • prefer routine • have a little anxiety • need calm, steady energy You can expect: ✔ timely communication ✔ daily photo + message updates ✔ a clean, safe, low-stress environment ✔ someone who treats your pet like family—but with structure I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, and I take that seriously. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away. I’m currently working remotely so I’ll have plenty of companionship for your pet. I walk often myself so I’d be happy to exercise with your pet as well. I have a large yard that is unfenced. I’m open to coming to your home as well. I also have two daughters that are dog lovers that can’t wait to play with and love on your pets!
“I highly recommend Veronica as a dog walker and caretaker. Reliability and responsibility are among Veronica‘s greatest strengths. She communicates effectively with pet owners by providing regular updates and photos.”

“I had a great experience! She was kind, professional, and took excellent care of Gerald. She sent regular photo updates and even kept him a bit longer than originally planned, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“My dog,Archie, loves staying at Christina’s. He can’t wait to get out of the car to go play and make new friends. He literally drags me to her door. I can always trust he is in good hands with her”

“Susan was great with our girls! From the start, I could tell our fur babies were at ease with her. She sent pictures and updates while they were in her care! She was quick to respond and very easy to work with. We will definitely book with Susan again!”
“This was the longest we’ve ever left Jamaica with someone outside of family, and we didn’t have to worry at all. Just like on our shorter trips leading up to this one, she couldn’t wait to see Amber again—she ran right over and barely looked back at us! It’s clear she absolutely loves spending time with Amber, which gives us so much peace of mind. We’ll definitely continue booking with Amber for as long as she’s offering Rover services.”
“Rodney was an amazing and kind sitter! He truly cares for our four-legged friends and makes them feel at home right away. The location is ideal for dogs who would like some open spaces and some company with other friendly dogs. Would recommend!”
“Jacqueline was very communicative before and during my dog's stay. I had a last minute request, but she was able to accommodate us and sent cute pictures of my dog. My dog has a great time playing and snuggling!”

About: Through my time training in IPO, I have developed the skills needed to handle high-energy and working breeds with confidence. However, I welcome dogs of all shapes and sizes. Whether your dog is a high-drive athlete or a quiet senior, they will find a safe, structured home here. I’m home full‑time on a quiet rural property, so dogs fit naturally into my daily routine. I provide regular outdoor breaks, feeding, exercise, and constant supervision throughout the day. I have a dedicated indoor and outdoor roofed kennel setup with five separate kennels, indoor and outdoor cameras for security, and a secure 16×20 fenced play area. Dogs stay in a clean, safe, structured environment with constant monitoring.
“Sarah was awesome with Romeo. She took him on at the last minute, sent pictures to me showing me how happy he was. Romeo is a spoiled dog and she saw to it he was given lots of cuddles n love. I have already recommend her to my sister. You can't go wrong with this sweet young lady.”
“Haley did a great job watching our Lexi. She provided multiple pictures and videos daily and updated us on how well she was doing. Will definitely be booking again in the near future!”
“Great communication. Easy drop-off/pick-up. Dogs seemed to have a great time and were happy as can be when we got them back. Will definitely use Nicole again! Highly recommend.”

“Lily had a great time with Olivia. We were away over 2 weeks and could tell that Lily felt safe. We knew she was well cared for. Lily developed an ear infection and Olivia handled the vet and giving Lily her meds which isn’t the easiest thing to do. When picking Lily up she was happy to see me but still ran back to Olivia to say goodbye which is always a good thing. We definitely will have Lily stay with Olivia again!”
“Dogs came home happy, and we got a much needed break. Alice texted me during the big storm and gave updates on how the dogs were doing. It was great to have peace of mind.”
“Fabulous sitter! She was quick to reply and took care of our babe last minute. She even went out of her way to drop him off for us, and waited 5-10 minutes extra due to our event not being done yet. HIGHLY recommend! THANK YOU SO MUCH!”
