“Zada is a great doggie caregiver. She is compassionate, has great communication and handling skills and provides abundant attention and care to doggie needs. We would highly recommend her and plan to employ her again.”

“Nicole was awesome! Super good with communication and keeping us updated on how our pup was doing. Also Nicole was super flexible and very kind when our plans got shifted due to a flight cancellation. I highly recommend you book Nicole for all your pet sitting needs. We’re so happy that we knew our dog was in good hands and Nicole made sure we never had to worry about anything with our pup through our whole vacation.”

Tango loves staying at her house and always comes home happy and calm and ready for a long nap:) Patty is our #1, I never worry about anything when Tango is with her. :)”

About: With over 20 years of experience as a dog owner and lover, I provide a caring, home-based environment for dogs of all sizes. I work primarily from home, have two children, and a large, fenced yard for plenty of outdoor time and walks. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and part of the family while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your doggos! Working primarily from home with a flexible schedule allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, walks, and outdoor fun throughout the day. We currently do not have any pets of our own, which makes our home a great fit for dogs who prefer a quieter environment or do best as the only pet. I'm available most weekdays and weekends and would love to learn about your dog's unique routine, personality, and needs. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home where your furry family member feels happy, relaxed, and cared for while you're away. I understand that pets are family, which is why I treat every dog in my care like one of my own. With plenty of experience hosting friends' dogs, I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your pup can relax, play, and feel at home.
“Casey was a godsend for watching Harper. She has been a bit shy with other dogs, especially those larger than her. She came home tired and happy so we know it had to have gone well. Harper LOVES kids and snuggles and really bonded with Casey’s son. The pictures, videos and updates were greatly appreciated. We feel we have finally found the ideal sitter for our sweetheart Harper for future stays.”

“Amazing again. The pups were happy and safe here. Really feel good about leaving the girls here! Last minute booking and they were very understanding! Will keep using these guys!”

“Stacie did an amazing job looking after my Kadie! She sent pictures and updates every day, and Kadie came home tired and happy! Anyone looking for a good, kind pet-sitter is in the right place!”

About: I have always had a dog in my home for the past 20 years. I have been hired by many friends and families to watch and care for their pets, both cats and dogs. I also have extensive experience taking care of older dogs, as I cared for my childhood dog during the last year of her life. I also have lots of experience as an Animal Care Attendant. Taking care of all different ages, sizes, and energy levels of dogs! I am well versed in dogs with behavioral issues. Administering oral medications. As well as feeding. I am a big dog lover and have two rescue dogs myself :) I am very flexible and open during the week days. I can also be available on some weekends with notice! I typically spend my mornings taking care of my pups and getting them out on a walk. The rest of the day I am free! I am very patent when it comes to animals. I love playing, walking, and cuddling (but only when they want to). I am very observant and make sure they aren't getting into things they shouldn't. Your pets health and safety is my number one priority!
“My Sadie is still trying to recover from another great weekend with Mike! I love that he took her along on his weekend adventures to Park point and out for Pizza along with the daily walks that she requires. She is always so tired after spending time with Mike that she falls asleep in the car on the way home! A big shout out and thank you to Mike for being an exceptional pet care giver!”
“Carly was amazing with my pup, Opal! She kept us updated regularly with pictures and texts. They took great care of her (playing outside, taking her for walks, and most importantly, snuggles on the couch! I will most definitely use them again!”

“Another great weekend for our pup with Courtnie! She treats our dog like one of her own and is a fantastic communicator. I'm looking forward to booking with her many more times in the future.”

“Amber has been so wonderful and a lifesaver for my pooch and me. After fracturing my ankle, she came and picked up hanky for a few days while I was unable to properly take care of him. She brought him home when I was feeling better and now picking him up while I await surgery. I am so fortunate to have her and know my hanky boy is in good hands as I go through this. Thank you to her and her family for the help and support❤️”

“Lori went above and beyond to make our dog and two cats feel comfortable. Everything went smoothly (communication was easy!), her home is extremely pet-friendly, and she even prepared a special holiday treat for our animals. We’d highly recommend Lori and definitely plan to leave our pets with her again.”

“Julia stayed with my 3 mo. old kitten and did a great job caring for and playing with him! I got regular pics of him in action and resting, which made me feel good while away. House was in great shape when I got back and couldn't have been any happier with her care!”

About: Have much patience as I helped raise litters of puppies from 17 on, experience with IVDD (intervertebral disk disease) paralyzed, expressing bladders, dog grooming assistant for 2 yrs, cancer/kidney failure, comfort cares, giving meds, behavior/aggression issues and more :) Currently work another part time flexible job. I don’t have a sitter for my dog so I would have to bring him along if it’s for an extended stay. He is very dog and cat friendly. I am a hard worker and learn things quickly. Pets have always been my passion to be around :) I always feed my pets before myself and they go out to use restroom the same most times. Safety is my top priority! Respect their space and property always.

“Rusty had a wonderful weekend with Barbara and Pete. They were able to help us out last minute and were flexible with pick up time when we decided to hit the road and head home early to beat traffic. We received numerous photos of Rusty and his new friends throughout his stay. Wouldn’t hesitate bringing him back again!”

She is super accommodating and incredible when it comes to the care of dogs, very highly recommended her! Thank you so much!! ?”

“Lori was great with Junior! She went on multiple walks with him and Junior got to meet other dogs as well. I got photos and updates throughout the day of my sweet baby! Junior was pooped out when he got home, so I’d say this puppy had a fun day!”

About: Hi! My name is Mara, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and your home while you’re away. I have grown up with multiple dogs and have always loved being around animals. Over the years, I have also provided dog sitting and house sitting for neighbors and family members, caring for pets in their own homes, following their routines, and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I understand that every pet has their own personality, preferences, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I will take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have experience providing more specialized care, including administering IV medication for an elderly animal I was watching. This experience taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, attention to detail, and following care instructions carefully. My background working in childcare, summer camps, and other safety-focused roles has helped me become dependable, organized, and attentive. I will treat your pets like they are my own and your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I am happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I am currently a full-time online student, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, and I am happy to work with your pet’s routine to provide consistent and reliable care. I care for pets by keeping their routines consistent and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow all care instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime, and I treat each pet and home with the same respect I would want for my own. I am happy to provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are well cared for.

About: While I have not been a professional dog sitter I have always been the one to offer to walk or watch my coworkers, family, and friends dogs.I absolutely love being around them, and can't wait to meet yours. In the past I have used Rover to find a sitter for my dogs when I am travelling with them. Having a safe place for them to be when I go tour around a new city is such a nice option to have. Sometimes this is a few hours other times an overnight. Hoping to be able to provide this for others. I have 3 dogs of my own, one shelter rescue and 2 foster fails. Luna, Ole, and Birdie have been great foster siblings to foster dogs I have cared for also. I have a fenced yard with enough room to play. I also have a few spare bedrooms so will have the ability to separate dogs if that is needed however I prefer to dogsit those that are dog friendly due to already having a few in the home.
