Lola had so much fun staying with Jenna and meeting some new friends. She slept the entire next day after coming home. We appreciated the updates and pictures sent to us during Lola’s stay. We would definitely book with Jenna again!

Heidi is one of the best dog sitters we have ever had! She and her son took amazing care of Vinny. She sent me pictures every day (and I mean each day) of her son snuggling, playing, and reading stories with Vinny. She was nice enough to drop Vinny off at our house so that he would be there when we got home since we had a late flight. We are already about to message Heidi to watch Vinny again!

About: Hi! My name is Sage and I specialize in animal caretaking and welfare. I have lived my entire life with at least one animal in the house and I have been dog sitting on and off since high school. I am certified in three years of dog training and currently live with my lovely cat, London. I’ve never met a pet that I haven’t loved, and past employers would describe me as dependable, easy-going, and kind. My days are entirely open, except for the occasional one or two days a week where I am called in from one of my other jobs. I am also a full-time college student during the fall and winter time, but my summers are almost entirely clear. In my home, I live with my cat London, and four other housemates. If your animal stayed with me, they would never feel alone and would always have somebody in the house that can watch them or be there for all their needs. We have a lovely backyard full of grass, a back deck for lounging and sunbathing and a large neighborhood for daily walks. Your pet would feel like a king or queen in a castle! :)

Lynn was GREAT!!! I have had the same sitter for about three years so I was very nervous to live my Millie with someone new, but Lynn made me feel very comfortable! You can tell she’s an animal lover. After meeting her, I knew Millie’s safety and comfort was going to be #1. When I picked Millie up, she was jumping on Lynn like they had know each other for years. Highly recommend!!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 7 years through friends, neighbors, and family. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just extra cuddles and attention. I also understand how important communication is, so I always send updates and photos to help owners feel at ease. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends. I always try to accommodate each pet owner’s routine to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure pets stick to their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is being well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have experience taking care of many different animals and understand that your pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I pay attention to the small details, I am reliable, and I focus on making your pet safe and comfortable based on their needs. I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, and their individual needs that come with that. I prioritize communication with owners and provide updates so owners know their pets are being well cared for. My goal is to provide a dependable, stress free service for both owners and their pets! Pet sitting and dog walking fit well into my routines. I have a flexible part time job over the summer, but prioritize including time for your pets. I am organized and block out my time so I can manage my time and give full attention to my clients. I am available all throughout the day depending on the needs of owners and their pets! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pets. I follow all instructions closely so your pet can stick with their routine. I keep a close eye on pets during playtime and walks to ensure they are safe at all times. I respect the clients home, and keep my own home clean and free of hazards for animals. My goal is to provide clear communication and consistent care so pets and their owners feel comfortable.

About: Hi, I’m Kaitlyn! I've been caring for animals of all shapes and sizes for over a decade — from tiny kittens to large breed dogs like my own lovable Cane Corso. Growing up surrounded by cats and dogs sparked a lifelong passion for animals, and I’ve been pet sitting since I was 12 years old. Whether your pet is high-energy or more laid-back, I’m confident in creating a safe, loving, and fun environment tailored to their needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’d love to meet your pet and make sure they feel right at home while you’re away! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life! I work a typical 8–5 job Monday through Friday, but I always make time for animals. I have a one-hour lunch break each day, which I use to go home and let my dog out, give him attention, and make sure he’s happy and comfortable. After work, you’ll usually find me walking, playing, or training with him—it’s one of the best parts of my day. On weekends, I’m completely available and fully dedicated to pet care, whether that’s watching over pets in my home or visiting yours. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-attended to. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you have. I’m patient, observant, and always respectful of each animal’s unique personality and needs. I also give regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is in great hands while you're away.

About: I have taken care of pets (mainly dogs) for many years. I have expertise in walking, training, and making sure your pet gets the best care on a regular basis. I am currently in college and have classes M,W,F. I work at a daycare so my hours are different everyday but I still have availability to care for your pets! My weekends are always open. I am looking forward to help out! I care for pets how their owners care for them. I provide them with a caring personality and follow their routine and owner's regulations. That could be going on walks, feeding them, and playtime. Most importantly I want them to be comfortable with me so do that I think it is important to do things with them that they are familiar with.

Juliette was great with my cat while I was gone on vacation! They normally just chilled and cuddled together which I know made my cat feel sooo much better while I was away! Great communication and updates, she let me know is anything was needed and even went out and picked up extra kitty litter! Overall great first rover experience and brought me so much peace of mind while I was away from my kitty!

About: I love dogs, the larger the better! I have watched dogs for more than 7 years now. I have looked after dogs from Miniature Poodles to Coonhounds. I have taken care of new born puppies all the way up to senior dogs that are blind. I have taken care of a chow that was super strong and most people couldn't walk her, but I could. I have even helped while my dog gave birth to her puppies. I currently own a Hungarian Vizsla and a Treeing Walker Coonhound they have a ton of energy and needs a lot of attention. I would love to help with your furbaby! I am currently working for Amazon. So I do work Monday-Thursday from 9:30am-8pm. I am delivering way out of town so I won’t be able to be to take out your pup for walks or potty breaks during that time. I will give your pet the attention they deserve and not ignore them. I love playing games with dogs and taking them on long walks.

Kaitlyn took good care of my cats while I was on vacation. She is very dependable and punctual with her visits. One of my cats hid (I knew that would happen) when she came but was provided with the food and water that she needed. My second cat bonded very well with her and got the TLC on top of being fed. I would certainly recommend her and I will use her in the future.

Whether it’s walks, pets, or cuddles, I’m able to be present and responsive to their needs. My priority is to ensure the safety so I will first check for fencing and leashing preferences of the family to ensure we are safe. I’ll also seek to understand all relevant home rules as they relate to pets and preferences.

About: I provide reliable, attentive, and loving care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and have experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies that need structure and patience, as well as senior dogs that require a gentler pace and extra attention. I recently moved to the area and am excited to get back into pet care and build relationships with local pet owners. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications when needed, maintaining feeding schedules, and providing regular exercise and enrichment tailored to each dog’s needs. Communication is one of my top priorities, and I provide frequent updates, photos, and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care, plenty of affection, and the attention they deserve throughout their stay. work a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care during lunch breaks, after work, and on weekends. This allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and overnight care while ensuring pets receive consistent attention and companionship. I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that best fits their needs. I provide care in my clients’ homes to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I carefully follow each pet owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, exercise, medications, and any special care needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and playtime while keeping their environment clean and secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors—and I pride myself on giving each animal the same love and attention they’d get from their family. I’m experienced with administering medications, following special diets, and providing calm, reassuring care for anxious pets. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. What Sets Me Apart: I focus on building trust through consistency, patience, and clear communication. I take time to learn each pet’s routine and preferences, making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. My background in handling multiple pets at once and caring for animals with special needs means you can relax knowing your pets are in capable hands. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I plan my days around feeding times, walks, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they need. I’m flexible with scheduling and can accommodate afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight care, or weekend stays, I make sure your pet’s comfort and routine always come first. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow all care instructions closely, keep things tidy, and provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s sticking to training routines, administering medication, or giving extra cuddles, I adapt to each pet’s personality and comfort level.

About: I have taken care of a multitude of pets throughout my life, especially dogs of various sizes and breeds. Pets aren't just pets, they're family and I really truly resemble that through my care. I know how to care for your pets to keep them happy and healthy. I am a current college student-athlete with only a couple classes (maximum) a day, and volleyball practice every night. This schedule leaves me with lots of time in between to schedule a visit with your lovely pet! I am easily able to frequently care for your furry friend as much as desired, and have lots of time to give them walks and belly rubs. I treat all animals that feel comfortable with lots of love and pets, and care for them like they're my own. I do not pull on the leash while walking, never punish with physical force, and treat all pets like family. I also respect everyone's homes and places of living, and will leave it just the same or better than when I came.

About: I love dogs, the larger the better! I have watched dogs for more than 7 years now. I have looked after dogs from Miniature Poodles to Coonhounds. I have taken care of new born puppies all the way up to senior dogs that are blind. I have taken care of a chow that was super strong and most people couldn't walk her, but I could. I have even helped while my dog gave birth to her puppies. I currently own a Hungarian Vizsla and a Treeing Walker Coonhound they have a ton of energy and needs a lot of attention. I would love to help with your furbaby! I am currently working for Amazon. So I do work Monday-Thursday from 9:30am-8pm. I am delivering way out of town so I won’t be able to be to take out your pup for walks or potty breaks during that time. I will give your pet the attention they deserve and not ignore them. I love playing games with dogs and taking them on long walks.

About: While I grew up with many cats, I also had the opportunity to have the most lovable, goofy, and needy yellow lab for a few years. While he lived in my house, I helped feed him, take him outside/on walks, and give him his medicine too. I've gotten used to dealing with particular pets, including tricking them into taking medicine they might not want to, and getting them bundled up to go outside in the winter. I'm currently a long-term substitute teacher, so my mornings and afternoons are busy, but I'm free in the evenings and on the weekends. During the summer, I have some days/weeks where I'll be out of town, but generally am free throughout the day. I always try to go slow when meeting someone's pet for the first time, allowing them to take the time they need to feel comfortable around me. I always make sure to sit down and make myself smaller so I don't scare them, and I give them plenty of time to sniff me and my things since I do have a cat at home they would smell on me.

About: Hi! My name is Sage and I specialize in animal caretaking and welfare. I have lived my entire life with at least one animal in the house and I have been dog sitting on and off since high school. I am certified in three years of dog training and currently live with my lovely cat, London. I’ve never met a pet that I haven’t loved, and past employers would describe me as dependable, easy-going, and kind. My days are entirely open, except for the occasional one or two days a week where I am called in from one of my other jobs. I am also a full-time college student during the fall and winter time, but my summers are almost entirely clear. In my home, I live with my cat London, and four other housemates. If your animal stayed with me, they would never feel alone and would always have somebody in the house that can watch them or be there for all their needs. We have a lovely backyard full of grass, a back deck for lounging and sunbathing and a large neighborhood for daily walks. Your pet would feel like a king or queen in a castle! :)

She sent me pictures every day (and I mean each day) of her son snuggling, playing, and reading stories with Vinny. She was nice enough to drop Vinny off at our house so that he would be there when we got home since we had a late flight. We are already about to message Heidi to watch Vinny again!

About: Hi, I’m Kaitlyn! I've been caring for animals of all shapes and sizes for over a decade — from tiny kittens to large breed dogs like my own lovable Cane Corso. Growing up surrounded by cats and dogs sparked a lifelong passion for animals, and I’ve been pet sitting since I was 12 years old. Whether your pet is high-energy or more laid-back, I’m confident in creating a safe, loving, and fun environment tailored to their needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’d love to meet your pet and make sure they feel right at home while you’re away! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life! I work a typical 8–5 job Monday through Friday, but I always make time for animals. I have a one-hour lunch break each day, which I use to go home and let my dog out, give him attention, and make sure he’s happy and comfortable. After work, you’ll usually find me walking, playing, or training with him—it’s one of the best parts of my day. On weekends, I’m completely available and fully dedicated to pet care, whether that’s watching over pets in my home or visiting yours. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-attended to. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you have. I’m patient, observant, and always respectful of each animal’s unique personality and needs. I also give regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is in great hands while you're away.

That could be going on walks, feeding them, and playtime. Most importantly I want them to be comfortable with me so do that I think it is important to do things with them that they are familiar with.
